The patriarchs took no mercury, no bismuth, no
iodine, no bromide of potassium. no strychoria,
no quinine. Happy old gentlemen! they did not
even know of the existence OF these "specifcs,"
and yet they lived until 1t seemed as II Death had
forgotten them. Their medicines were herbs and
roots. They have left this fact on record, and the
world seems to be now taking note of II and re-
turning to the first principles Of medication. Hos

Starting Baulky Horses.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man writes: Ihave plan that seldom
fails to start the unruly animal in few
minutes, and, il persevered in, generally
effects permanent cure, but it is too diff.
cult of application to become generally
useful. Have with you small quantity OF
whole corn, and when remedy is needed
go gently to the horses head with a
handful, and coax him with caresses
while he eats from the hand. Attempt to
lead him, holding the corn little way
before him, and when he goes quietly and
shows that his temper has subsidized, leave
him with his mouth full of corn, get in
the vehicle, and speak to him to go on,
using quiet manners, just as if nothing
was wrong and If he refuses, apply the
same treatment again and again, If neces-
sary, until success attends. Perhaps It
may not be clear to the reader what the
difficulty is, in applying this remedy. 1t
is in the worse than baulkv disposition of
the driver, who would rather succeed
once in twenty times, by passionately
whipping, than nineteen times in twenty
by gentleness. Only gentleman can
manage a baulky horse, and while there
are plenty OF gentlemen in society, there
are not so many gentlemen in the treat
ment of animals.

purpose. The butter Is placed in large
roll upon the tray, and the roller, which
works from the lower to the upper side of
the tray and back agair, presents sixteen
sharp edges of wood to the surface of the
butter, mashes it fiat, and divides it cross
wise into rolls. Before using the worker
both tray and roller are deluged with hot
water. After the butter is flattened out
it receives bath of cold water, and is
again rolled up to be flattened out and
squeezed again by the roller until all the
water and milk is expelled. After this it
is thoroughly sailed and rolled again.

Diseases and Treatment Of Canaries,

The Country Gentleman gives the fol-
lowing concise and simple instructions for
the care of these household pets:
MOulting This is a critical period, and
care should be taken not to expose the
birds to current Of air at such times.
Cleanliness is indispensable, and the sup
ply of food should be generous. A little
saffron put into their water will assist
them to cast off their plumage, and after
ward nail put into their water will, by
its oxidation, serve as tonic to strength
en- them.
Loss of Voice-Is consequence of i'm
properly moulting. In this case they
should be fed upon egg and cracker, or
white bread soaked in milk and then
squeezed out.
Asthma-Is often relieved by feeding
solely on plantain and rape seed mois-
tened with water.
Colds-Are quite frequent and common
among Gagged birds, which are recognized
by frequent shakings of the head. Change
of diet is recommended, with an abund-
ance of soft food. Linseed should be
added to the usual seed for considerable
period
The Pip-Is little pimple that comes
on the rump, which produces discomfort,
manifested by uneasiness and twitching
of the tail. The spot should be anointed
with oil, first opening the sore with a
sharp-pointed knife. A cooling diet
should be employed as preventive, such
as lettuce and rape seed.
Costiveness-Is remedied by change
of food-giye lettuce or apple.
Diarrhea-ls also obviated by care in
feeding. In this case, green and watery
food should not be allowed. Crushed
seed, mixed with the yolk of an egg, is
best adapted to this complaint.
Surfeit-Is recognized by blowing aside
the feathers of the belly; the exposed
parts will appear inflamed and full of red
veins. 1t is caused by bad air, improper
food, end lack of exercise. Relax the
bowels by little magpesia added to the
water. Feed on bread moistened with
milk, and NAV seed. Should there be
present diarrhea, give crushed hemp
seed.
Epilepsy-Is produced by being over
fed and lack of exercise. 1t is q fatal
disease. Venesection is recommended by
cutting claws sufficiently to draw blood.
Mites-Red mites are produced by neg
lecting to cleanse the cage, and by not al
lowing the bird to battle freely. Their

itself at all hours of the day, and by its
being very FESTIVE at night-hying about
the cage. Remedy: cleanse the cage, and
dust dry flour of sulphur under the
feathers of the bird. Or catch the bird
and pin him up in piece Of flannel with
a few drops of spirits of turPentine upon
it, taking care to leave his head exposed.
Remove it after time, and it will be found
full of vermin. Repeat this operation
until all vermin are removed. Three
operations will.usually suffice, at intervals
of week. Another method is to expose
the cage and bird to an intense sunlight,
when the mites will leave the bird and
penetrate the crevices of the cage. Then
remove the bird and scald the cage with
soda water.
Drooping-A change of food, with a
rusty nail dropped into the water, will
ordinarily prove sufficient to relieve.

An Astronomer Sold.

fully sold few days ago. A wicked
boy, whose Sunday-school experience
seems only to have made him more de
PRAYED, caught a FREELY, and stuck it, with
the aid of some mucilage, in the center OF
the largest lens in the telescope. That
night, when the astronomer went to work,
he perceived blaze of light apparently
in the heavens, and what amazed him
more was that it would give couple OF
spurts and then die out, only to burst
forth again in second or two. He exam
ined it carefully for few moments, and
then began TO do sums to discover where
in the heavens that extraordinary star
was placed. He thought he had found
the locality, and the next morning he tel
egraphed all over the universe that he
had discovered new and remarkable
star of the third magnitude in Orion. In
day or two all the astronomers in Eu-
rope and America were studying Orion,
and they gazed at 1t for hours until they
we've mad, and then they began to tele-
graph to the man i'm Washington to know
what he meant. The discoverer took an
other look and found that the new star
had moevd about eighteen billion miles in
twenty-four hours, and upon examining
II closely he was alarmed to perceive that
it had legs! When he went on the dome,
the next morning, to polish up his glass,
he found the lightning bug. People
down at Alexandra, seven miles distant,
heard part of the swearing, and they say
he infused into it much whole-souled sim
certify and vigorous energy. The bills
for Geographic dispatches amounted to
$4,000, and now the astronomer wants to
find that boy. He wishes to consult with
him about something.-Mar Adelsr.

Reduction of Rates.

There is no one thing which the press
IN the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of
such reduction in the premiums charged
for life insurance as would bring that
protection from want within the reach
OF every family. The National Life
Insurance Company of the United States
OF America, E. A. Rollins, president,
Jay Cook, chairman of finance COM
mittee, capital larger than that of any
other life company in the world, has
placed Its rates at about three-quarters
OF those charged by most companies,
ana wants an agent in every locality. 1t
has the essential Qualities of strength
and cheapness, and We advise all look
ing for full or partial employment in
life insurance to address the company at
Philadelphia.

FRANKLIN gave excellent advice to
people who desired success in life and
yet his rules were by no means infalli-
bic. A man may, by industry and
economy, accumulate large amount OF
property, and in the end he may lose it.
1t is one thing to make money, and
quite another to keep it. There is no
doubt that life insurance policy in a
good company is good investment in
the majority of instances. The money
ispaid when the family most need it,
and it is usually beyond the reach OF
creditors. We do not hesitate to recon-
bud the New York Life Insuranoe
Comf.ny as one of the strongest and
pest, 10 IA who seek insurance.
