The healing properties in the new oil
extracted from hens eggs are said to
be very great, and it can be easily
made. First the eggs are boiled hard
the yolks are removed, crushed end
placed over fire, where they are care
fully stirred, and when the substance is
just on the eve of catching fire, the oil
separates, and may be poured off. One
yolk will yield nearly two teaspoonfuls
of oil. In the southern part of Russia
it is much used for cuts and bruises

The Lesson OF the Wawasset,

C. X. BUNCH
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1873-09-11
How to Bring Up a Child.

BEGIN with considering him the best,
and brightest, and most beautiful child
upon the face of the earth. Look upon
him as the eighth wonder of the world!
Tell everybody so. Keep telling them so
until he is big enough to hear and under
stand, for he should not be suffered to
grow up in ignorance of his own import
ance.
Stuff him with sugar-plums when he
cries. 1t will teach him to cry more, that
he may get more sugar -plums. 1t will
give him a suggestive lesson in causes and
results. He ought to cry. Healthy chill
dren always cry, and it is healthy to listen
to them. Crying develops the lungs
wards off early consumption.
Always let him have his own way. If
you do not, it will break his spirit, and
what is boy good for whose spirit has
been broken?
Solomon's head was not level when he
said: Spare the rod and spoil the
child" Probably his brain was softening
Never command him to do anything
Ask HIM to do it if he pleases, but if he
doesn't please, never oblige him to. 1t
might rouse his temper, and give him an
attack of collie or indigestion.
If he should become disobedient and
impudent, as perhaps he may-children
are liable to-consult doctor at once.
If you fee this gentleman well, he will tell
you that the child has .'too much brain
large mental activity; mind of unusual
precoclty," ETC., etc, all of which will be
pleasant for you to hear, since it will give
you the idea that you have brought gen
lus into the world. He will tell you that
the child mustn't be crossed. You must
be careful how you deny him what he
wants. Must not let him get angry. Let
him have his way
After he gets older, he will be likely to
learn the manly science of profanity and
the gentlemanly accomplishments of
drinking and gambling.
Well, youthful spirits must be run off
in some way-must have some outlet. Say
as thousands have said before you, that
you would rather have two knaves than
one fool in the family. That is a very
nice way of putting it, and consolng too
Make much of his bright sayings. Re-
peat them to your friends, if they don't
see wit in them, it is because they haven't
brains enough to see wit in anything
Let him begin young to order the SER
want, so as "to get his hand in Give
him all the money he wants to spend.
Let him go out evenings. Don't tie him
| to his mothers apron-strings and make a
milk-sop of him.
If he calls you governor" and his
mother " the old gall don't reproye him
1t is only young America cropping ont
and isn't America "the land of the free
| and the home of the brave ~
Get him revolver by the time he is
ten, so that he may be ready for emergen-
cies-a watch, and a revolver, by all
means. AT eighteen he will need fast
horse and betting-book. r
| Persevere in this course, and by the
time he is twenty-five the world will have
| heard from him at the end of a rope or in
Congress-nobody can foresee which.
In this democratic country who can
| predict results?-Neao York Weeklg

Gymnastic Performances Of IA S0mnam.
buliSt.

Opposite the Wells stables on Market
street is boarding house frequented by
a number of street Car conductors and
drivers and among the boarders there is
a young man named Leslie, a conductor.
He is much addicted to somnambuIism,
and in his abnormal condition he some
times performs feats which would tax the
skill of the most practiced gymnast
Night before last, while in a fit of SOM
nambulism, his performances were wit
messed by two or three hundred persons.
His room is in the third story of the
house. f. I'm which access can be gained to
the roof. On the night in question, be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, he was
observed upon the roof in his night-dress,
going through a series of performances of
the most unique description, a sort of
tumble of acrobatic, military and pugilis
tic maneuvers, astonishing to behold, and
especially SO in view of the dangerous
locality where they took place. No man
in his ordinary condition of mind would
be induced to attempt the performance Of
such feats in such place. A flip-fiap
somersault from the edge of parapet
wall sixty feet high is something frightful
to contemplate, yet that was among the
minor feats of this wonderful performer
After running up and down the parapet
walls of two or three of the adjacent
houses, climbing around the chinneys on
the outer side, dancing hornpipes. on the
ridge pole, sitting on the caves with his
legs dangling over, and numerous other
games of that sort, he finished up with a
performance of slack-wire walking on the
iire-a telegraph, the wires of which
passed over the building adjoining his
boarding house During the performance
of this feat, which he did with as much
apparent ease as he would walk on the
sidewalk, the spectators below were in
breathless suspense, expecting every mo-
ment to see him fall to the ground and be
dashed to pieces. After continuing this
exercise for few minutes, he suddenly
iumped on to the roof of the house,
sprung up from thence to that of his own
place of abode, which was six or eight
feet higher, and from thence took flying
leap into the window of his own room,
which was open, and the performance
was closed Every one was afraid to in
terfere while it was going on, lest fatal
results might ensue, but as soon as he en-
tered his room, several of his acquaint-
ances rushed in and found him lying on
the bed sleeping soundly. He was with
difficulty awakened, and appeared entire
Iy unconscious of what he had been
| doing. His feet were found to be badly
lacerated by the bricks and telegraph
wires, but otherwise he did not appear to
have suffered injury.-4Kissourl Repud-

The Monsters Table.


THERE now exists in Paris a cheap tajle
d'h0te for the reception Of strange guests.
1t goes by the name Of the Monsters Ia
BILE. All those unfortunate persons who
live by the display of their physical In
tirmities come here to dine together and
avoid the attention they would attract
elsewhere. TIE skeleton man pours out
the Gin quat sous for the bearded wo-
man, the great Norman giantess flirts with
Riquet a IL houppe, and the Sugar Loaf,
whose pointed head is more than eighteen
inches from the crown ia the chin sits
smoking with the King of the Animals,
so called from his coating of fur. Made
up monsters are excluded from this sym
postum: so are stranger and it IS. said
that intruders have met with such warm
reception from the hideous shapes assem-
bled round the board, that they felt, on
making their escape, as though they had
Just been released from one OF the circles

nal which describes the dreary assemblage,
adds some information not generally
known. These monstrosities, ii observes,
are seldom natural. but are the work OF
English specialists, y who turn out these
sad spectacles to order at the bidding OF
mercenary parents.
