USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

REMEDY FOR Cold IN THE HEAD
DIR. Hager recommends for this purpose
mixture of five parts carbOlic acid, SIX
parts sal ammoniac of specific gravity
O.96O, ten parts distilled water and two
parts alcohol. This fluid is poured into 8
glass with wide neck, one-half full Of
feather alum. 1t is applied by pouring q
few drops on blottfng paper and inhaline
mouth and nostrils, and repeating the op.
Grafton once every two hours.
SIMPLE FIREPLArING FOR IRON.-By
rubbing the surface of iron OF other met
ais with soda amalgam, and then pouring
over it concentrated solution of chloride
of gold, the gold Is taken up by the ANAL.
gamated surface, and it Is only necessary
| to drive on the mercury with the heat OF
face that will bear polishing. By writing
or drawing design on the iron, the
drawing viii be reproduced in pure gold.
Silver and platinum salts are said to act
in q similar manner to the gold.
How TO FIT COLLARS TO HoRSEs'
SHoULDERs.-Iti is very important to nave
a collar fit the shoulder of the horse. The
collar should be purchased of the proper
size just before putting it on the first
time immerse it in water, letting it remain
about minute, and Immediately put it
on the horse, b. Ing careful to have the
names SO adjusted at the top and bottom
as to fit the shoulder, and then put the
horse to work. The collar by being wet
will adapt itself to the shoulder, and
it should be left In the same shape it oc-
cupied ON the horse, and ever alter you
will have snug-ftting collar and no
wOunds.-VaLLey Farmer.
How TO MANAGE RUNAWAY HORsEs.-
Always stick to your. horses 80 long as
they are fast to the carriage. If line
breaks or the bits give way, step out Of
the fore end Of the carriage, even when
the team may be running, take hold Of
the harness and spring on the back of one
of the animals. Once astride Of horse,
one can reach forward, grasp his nose
and soon check his speed. When horse
is running toward you, as he comes up,
stand 70 that he Will be within reach as he
dashes past; then make calculations to
and to grasp his name or the top of the
names with the other hand. A man may
expect to be carried twenty rods; but If
he win hang to the reins horse win soon

The Fatal Initiation at Cornell.

The death of young Legget, while
being initiated into Greek letter secret
society at Cornell University, will natu-
rally, for time, throw secret college So
cieties into general disfavor. Strenuous
appeals will be made to the authorities
of our various colleges to suppress all
such organizations, and freshmen will
be cautionedby their parents not to join
any of these fraternities.
In themselves, there is nothing very
bad in these secret societies. They are
often excellently constituted, and pro-
ductive of much innocent enjoyment.
But the initiatory rites in many of them
are extravagant in their Stiffness, and
sometimes wanton in their cruelty. The
college faculties should take the matter
in hand and see that more rational
form of initiation is introduced. Where
this cannot be done the society should
be suppressed.
The barbarisms spoken of in different
journals are undoubtedly practiced, al
though the secret societies are not all
alike, and in some colleges they are
much less vicious and foolish than in
others. AT Cornell the Kappa Alphas
seem to have toyed with danger with
rare perversity. The evidence at the
Coroner's inquest showed that the hill

which they were wont to take the neo-
phytes on initiation night They must
have known that the hill was PERCEPTIONS
and rocky on the side toward the gorge,
for many of the society men had been
on the spot before, and several, mt least.
had visited it in the daytime. The Sc
lection, then, of so dangerous locality
was in itself culpable.
The night was not n dark one, for as
Northrup and Lee, who were conduct
ing Leggett, approached the hill, the
moon was just rising. After they
reached the top of the hill, young Leg
gett, still blindfolded with a black cloth
buckled round his head, was intrusted
to Wason and Lee, who appear to have
been the members least familiar with
the character of the place. He was then
led to tree which stood on the edge of
the cliff. 1t was while leaning against
this tree that his feet slipped or gave
way from exhaustion beneath him, and
he fell over the precipice. His compan-
ions, who were near him, fell almost at
the same time. The remainder of the
party were looking on a short distance.
When young Leggett was found at the
bottom of the ravine, lying on his left
side with his face upward, the bandage
was still bound tight around his eyes.
OF course the students did not intend
to kill poor Mortimer Leggett, but was
it right to allow a blindfolded man to
lean against tree on the brink of n
precipice?
A very remarkable feature of this
tragedy is the inaction and apathy of
the Cornell faculty. 1t does not appear
that they have shown any displeasure or
taken any steps against the participants
in the initiation. In such circumstances
the number of freshmen at Cornell Uni
versity is not likely to increase in any
very rapid ratio.-New York Sun.

Wood Fumes.

Those in use in Nevada are great
curiosities. Many of them cost from
$50, 900 to $4,000. They are built
upon certain grade, and pass over and
wind around many hills in their course
to the valleys or other places where the
wood and lumber carried down may be
reached by teams or side-tracks from
the railroad. The fumes are built so
large that timbers sixteen inches square
and as many feet in length may lie
floated down them. Down properly
constructed flume these large timbers
are tloated by quite small head of
water and not single stick, but
long procession of sticks. Wood and
lumber are carried off by the same means
as fast as thrown into the fumes, and
dumped miles away in an almost in
credibly short time.

"A Brooklyn man lost both of his
hands in machinery, and takes comfort
