Dead Animals possess great fertiliz-
ing properties, and should all be util-
lied on our farms and in our gardens.
They are especially valuable for grape
vines, fruit trees, etc, and may be APP
piled simply by cutting up into pieces
and burying near the roots.
Mr.. Lyman recently remarked, i'll Il
discussion on this subject before the
New York Farmers Club, that he
could illustrate the advantage of ami
NAL flesh as food for trees, by stating
that during late visit to the farm of
Mr.. Quinn, two pear trees were point
ed out, one of which was very inferior
to the other i'll size and thriftincSs.
On inquiry he learned they were
planted at the same time, but it hap
pened that the carcass of pole-cat
rested ut the root of the one, while the
other was not similarly favored. These
two pear trees have been bearing for
the past six years; the one yielding
one bushel, the other two bushels, a
proportion which is likely to be kept
Up FOR twenty years longer. This fact
shows what n polc-cat may do for Il
pear tree.

And thou and must part,

How to Cure drunkenness.

II is generally understood that young
persons, when first employed as pastry
cooks, are permitted to surfeit them
selves to their hearts content on pies
and sweetmeats; the result being that in
short time they become perfectly cal
lous to the charms OF the counter. We
learn from valuable little book, recent
Ily published in London, called "The
Home Nurse that in the Austrian army
method, on a similar principle, is
adopted as a remedy for drunkenness;
and medical reports state that out OF
1879 cases, I28 cures of confirmed drunk
ards have been effected. The plan is as
follows:
!, The soldier taken in a state of intoxi'
cation, or purposely inebriated, is con-
! fined to his room, where his diet is care
| fully and amply supplied to him, accord
ing to his choice. For drink, he is
allowed brandy and water, in the pro
portion of one-third brandy to two-thirds
water. All his food. is prepared in a
weak solution Of brandy and water,
Coffee, with small quantity Of brandy,
is also allowed him. AT FIRST, the treat
.ment throws the patient into constant
state ofintoxication, and he sleeps much.
At the end of three or four days he takes
dislike to his food and drink, and asks
for change, which request, were it
acceded to, would entirely prevent the
completion of the cure. .asrr
On the contrary, it must now be per.
severed in until the patient can no
longer swallow food or drink, and even
the smell revolts and nauseates the
stomach when the cure must be consid-
cred as effected. The shortest time for
the continuance of the treatment is
seven days; the longest, nine In order
to prevent the congestion which might
ensue, the patient must now be given
gentle emeticsAthat is, one grain OF
emetic in bottle of water; wine
glassful to be taken every quarter of an
hour in the morning fasting. This is fol
lowed by forty grains Of magnesia, daily,
given in broth or Cruel, placing the pa
tient at first on low, light diet, and
then gradually increasing to his original
rations. If, during the first part of the
treatment, splitting of blood or convul-
sions should result, it must not be per
severed In therefore, thus mode OF rem
edy cannot on any pretence whatever
be adopted but by medical man.
In Russia drunkenness is also treated
as a disease, and certain strong aromatic
Preparations are used as curative means.
As a temporary remedy to restore the
unfortunate victim to the state of sobri-
ETY., give him from ten TO twelve drops OF
r nrlo nf
water. This will be sufficient in COM
mon case; but if the person is positively
drunk, 1T may be necessary to give the
dose a second time, in which case it will
generally act as an emetic ian advan-
tage), when a short sleep will ensue, and
the patient will awake restored.
None but q medical man may venture
to apply the ammonia to the nostrils, as
not only injurious but fatal effects might
ensue. "Ua U

} AnAwruI Frog story.

A man named Southworth, living IN
Warren, Pa, has just elected from his
stomach a frog which has been living
there for fifteen years Mr.. Southworth
has had great deal of trouble with that
frog. II used to begin to croak at the
most unreasonable hours. When South
worth would 90 to church, for instance,
the frog would remain silent until the
congregation engaged in silent prayer,
and then it would set up such q terrific
yowl that the sexton would rushin and
collar Southworth and drag him out to
ouiet him down in the graveyard. Some
times the frog would give a nocturnal
sefenade after Southworth was fast
asleep in bedg land then Southworth
would rise as mad as anything, and seize
stomach pump and try to draw the
fro,r up. But the subtle reptile had had
that trick played on it too often during
those fifteen years, and 1t always shinned
nm the tube piece, out of the draft, aud
waited mill Southworth exhausted him
slIf Southworth never fooled that frog
q great deal. And when frogs we're in
season, sOuthworth used to fish for this
one with a fy; but it always refused to
,,,;se G and the Hy buzzed SO in South
vortb alimentary canal, that it nearly
't;ckled Southworthato death. So South
worth had to wait until the. other day
when the frog thought It would come up
and 90 and see friend; and when It did
come. Southworth killed il with FORK,
qe. SAYS the frog used TO eat twice as
r,yeh as he did but we have been think
inc Il over. and it seems 20 us the state
nent must be exaggerated somewhat

what a noston GlrI Dld.

Don Fernando, father of the King o.
Portugal eighteen months ago, married
Miss Z. Hensler, Boston girl, who went
abroad nine years ago as an operate
singer. just previous TO the marriage
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg conferred upon
her the title Of Countess d Edla, so as "a
obliterate even a nominal connection
with the past or with her American ma
tivity. i
Time and again the Spanish throne
was offered to Don Fernando by Prim.
Many negotiations were had upon the
subject, but, after they had nearly ter
minated in success, they were abruptly
and finally broken off July Is, because,
it is alleged, the Spanish Minister had
said that the Countess might be made a
duchess or grandee, or have any other
title, but be received as "Queen-never,
neverl Ii rr I'D
As soon as it became certain that there
was no probability Of inducing Don Fer
nando to 90 to Madrid, unless the Coun-
tess d Elda was recognized as Queen, the
offer was made to Hohenzolleru. So It
may be said that a great European war,
with all its vast consequences, is to be
attributed to the unsatisied ambition OF
Boston girl.
