may be superior to another in his sus.

whom has been trained as explained,
the other has not. Let them take up

from the start. In the first place,
he understands the necessity Of work
secondly, he has more mind; and
thirdly, he knows better how to use
it. But let the comparison be carried

How TO MAKE Mustard PLASTER.
How many people are there who real
ly know how to make how to make a
mustard plaster? Not one in humid
red, at the most, perhaps, and vet
mustard plasters are used in every fami-
ly, and physicians prescibe their appli-
cation never telling ANYBODY how to
make them, for the simple reason that
doctors themselves do not know, as
rule. The ordinary way is to mix the
mustard with water, tempering it with
a little -four, but such plaster as that
makes is simply abominable. Before it
has half done its work it begins to bis
ter the patient, and leaves him finally
with a painful, tiayed spot, after having
produced far less effect in beneficial
way than was intended. Now a mus
tard plaster should never cause blister
at all. If a blister is wanted there are
other plasters far better than mustard
for the purpose. When you make a
mustard plaster, then, use no water
whatever, but mix the mustard with the
white of an egg, and the result will be
plaster which will " draw" perfectly,
but will not produce blister even upon
the skin of an infant, no matter how
long it is allowed to remain upon the
part. For this we have the word of an
old and eminent physician, as we'll as
our own experience.

water nearly boiling, but not enough to
wet quite all of the corn meal; add
cold water, little at time, stirring
thoroughly between whites, until YOU
have it SO thin that it has tendency to
settle as you pour it into your pie-tins.
1t should not be more than half an inch
deep in the tins, and it should bake
quickly in hot oven.
