USEFUL AND sUGGESTIvE.

In view of the cases of fatal poisoning
occurring from little ones obtaining
matches and eating them, it would be well
to remember that animal charcoal or bone
black, according to Eulenbery and Wohl
is superior antidote to the poisonous
effects of phosphorus. A number of ex
periments warrant the belief that it is far
more efflcacious than the oil of turpen-
tine, which, although valuable for the
purpose, frequently produces severe head
aches. The bone-black is administered
in the form of pills made with gum traga-
canth or other mucilaginous substance.
OYSTER PATTIEs.-Make the usual puff
paste, say for dozen patties; bake an
hour in brisk oven; set to cOol wash
and drain three dozen large, fresh oysters;
put them in stewpan with only enough
of their own liquor 10 keep them from
burning; season with cayenne and mace
and few of the green tops of celery,
minced fine; add quarter of pound of
butter laid III Dlts among the oysters to
enrich the gravy stir III the beaten yolks
of two eggs or some thick cream-I like
the latter the best. Let the oysters stand
in the gravy about five minutes. When
the patties are beginning to cool, put
three of the oysters in each. A thin lid
of pastry, if you like, can be placed over
the patties when put into the oven to
bake. GermGntO1oH Telegraph.
ITCH IN SHEEP.-A correspondent who
asks for remedy for itch in sheep, is in
formed that the following has been re-
commended: Shear off the wool about the
pustues; then let the scab be removed
with knife or a comb, after which the
diseased parts must be washed with soap
and water; then apply the following mix
ture: One pound of plug tobacco to four
gallons Of water, which should be thor
oughly boiled ; then add the same quantity
| OF limewater with one pint of spirits of
turpentine, or in these proportions if a
Less quantity Is needed. After the diseased
| sheep is shorn of its wool, as well as all
the sound ones, prepare a decoction ofthe
above, and, with sponge, wash well the
entire body, which will prevent a re-
currence of the disease, even if turned in
the old pasture.-CtRctnnati Times
ABOUT MILKNG.-Next to having good
| COWS is the importance of having milk
| ing well and properly done. Cows
| should be put into some secure place to
milk, either in barn or a shed expressly
| for that purpose, with a good ventilation
! for warm weather. The practice of
| milking cows running loose in the yard
| is incOnvcnient and disagreeable; neither
can it be done as cleanly as in stanchions !;
nor will they do as vel OutofdOOrs,
where they are the greater part of the sea
| son teased by flies. There should be as
much uniformity in the hours of milking
as possible Before commencing to milk
| the udder should be entirely clean, and
each mixer should milk the same cows
! through the season, and in the same
order. Harsh treatment should never be
| tolerated; for cows that are not well
| treated will not give as great flow of
milk as when used gently.
If ordinary soap is employed, the valu-
able shawls and fabrics of cashmere will
be creased and spoiled by the alkali it
contains, and it will leave them, at any
rate, much less pliable and velvety than
| they are when cleaned after the manner
of the Turks and Persians, who make use
| of root which affords an abundant mu-
/ cilage when heated with water NJ
Jaubert who brought into France seve-
raj goats from Thibet, also imported from
| Asia, under the name of ishkar, a guam
| tity of this soapy root. 1t is usually as
| large as the thumb, of a grayish yellow
color, white within, free from smell,
almost tastcless, and affording an ash
colored powder. When mixed with
water 1t becomes very thick, yellOwish
mucilage. With this paste the beautiful
stutfs of the east are cleaned and while it
always removes greasy stains, it leaves
them the yellow tint so much priced

GRAHAM GEMs.,-Beat one egg to a
cream, add to it nearly a pint Of sweet
milk, onehalf cup of white flour and
enough Graham flour to make the batter
the consistency of ordinary tea-cake, per
haps tritie thicker. Use only the shall
low iron gem cups, have them smoking
! hot, drop the latter in with mixing.spoon
and place Immediately in hot oven.
Fifteen minutes is sufficient to bake them
Dr. Dio Lewis receipt is water and flour
only, baked, however, same as ours, and
made of the same consistency: they are
! light and sweet; but think not quite so
| pleasant favored However, there is diff
ference of opinion on the subject. Some
! inquire what makes them light. 'Tis not
the egg simply, nor the beating, but more
especially the hot cups and hot oven.
The batter should be well beaten to rem
der ii smooth and free from Jumps. The
egg and milk give it a richness which the
water does not impart.-COr. Country Gen.
