Meanwhile had time to look around
in the room. Against the rear wall stood
narrow, plain bed On the walls hung
portraits of Mazzini, Bixio, Kisz, and,
strangely enough, of Louis Napoleon.
On the bookshelf by my side l noticed
Victor Hugo's "Annee Terrible" King
lakes "Crimea," and ten or twelve well
worn grammars. On table, close to the
bed, lay loaf of bread and a plate of
dried meat.

RECIPES, ETC.

-Spiced Fruits.-To seven pounds of
fruit add three pounds of sugar, one pint
of vinegar, ana a tablespoonful of every
kind of spice, cloves, cinnamon, allspice
ana nutmeg.
Russia Salve.-Take equal parts of
yellow wax and sweet oil; melt slowly.
carefully stirring. When cooling stir in
small quantity of glycerine. This is
good for all kinds of wounds, cuts, etc.
If a pin, button or other metallic or
pointed body has been swallowed, make
the patient eat plentifully of thick rice
pudding, and afterward give a dose of
castor oil to carry it off by the bowels.
Ounce Pudding.-Stew and strain
eight ounces. Add halfpound sugar,
six eggs, a pint of milk or cream. Sea
son or not, as may be preferred. Bake
in a dish lined and ornamented with
pastry.
In dislocations of the knee pan lay
the patient on the back, straighten the
leg, lift it up to right angle with his
body, and in that position push the bone
back to its place. The knee should be
kept at rest for few days.
Calls Foot Broth Boil two calfs
feet, with a three-inch square piece of
beefsteak, in three quarts of water, for
three hours. Season with salt and pep
Per. Strain and set away to cool; take off
all the fat; warm over with sippets of
toasted bread.
Strengthening Jelly.-Boil in two
quarts of water one ounce of rice, one
ounce of sago and one ounce of pearl
barley, until reduced one-half Strain
into a mold take teacupful, morning,
noon and night. 1t can be sWeetened and
favored to taste.
A solution Of fannie acid is an excel
lent application for tender feet, and is
also a preventive of the offensive odor
attendant upon their profuse perspiratiOn.
1t can be obtained of almost any druggist
A strong decoction of oak bark will also
be found very etficacious.
Children who have had the measles
should not be allowed to return at once to
the free use of animal food. 1t should be
given at first very sparingly, and not more
than once day. Nor should they be ex-
posed to cold or night air. Flannel
should be worn, even in summer time,
next the skin, for some weeks after the
disease has disappeared.
Barley Gruel.-Wash four tablespoon
fuls of pearl-barley; boil it in two quarts
of water, with a stick of cinnamon and a
pinch of salt in it, until reduced to one
quart. Strain through a sieve; add a tea
cup of milk, and boil for ten minutes
Serve with sugar and nutmeg if relished
This will keep on the ice two or three
days.
Friction Of the body is one of the
gentlest and most useful kinds of exercise,
either by the hand, piece of flannel, a
tolerably coarse towel, or a flesh brush.
Friction cleans the skin, promotes per-
SEPARATION and increases the warmth and
energy of the body. In rubbing the stom-
ach, perform the operation in circular
direction, as that is most favorable to the
course of the intestines and their natural
action
