THE SPHYGMoaRAPH is little instru-

tions at the wrist, and register them on
a strip of paper moved by watchwork,
somewhat after the manner of house
telegraph machine. Itreveals in a very
delicate and beautiful manner, by the
tracing of pencil on the paper, the
force of the heart-beats, and in making
experiments with different kinds of
medicines, it shows their effect on the
nervous system. A writer in the Medi-
cal Record suggests that it will soon
come into common use by life insurance
companies in ascertaining the eligibility
of applicants and detecting obscure
diseases.

FRUIT ON THE TABLE,-First in the
list of dinner-table decorations we would
place dish of choice fruit. There is
something quite appetizing in the ap-
pearance of such an ornament, although
it does not lead to gluttony and a
cheerful looking table tends greatly to
put those who surround it in the same
mood, and thereby aid digestion. Ap-
Piles and pears are very abundant in al
most every part of the country; but
judging from our own observation not
one housewife in twenty ever thinks OF
setting dish of them upon the table to
be eaten with the regular meals at the
very time that fruit should be used to
promote health. 1t may not always be
convenient to have fruit upon the table,
but other things may be used to take
its place as an ornament if not for food.

CoCoANUT AND APPLE PUDDING. -
Select large rich tart apples, such as
are easily cooked, greetings or New
town pippins, if possible, pare and CRATE
them on coarse crater then add one
part dessicated cocoanut to four parts
grated apple, or one part fresh grated
cocoanut to three parts apple, and add
the requisite amount of sugar. The
latter is readily determined by the taste,
but no rule can well be given, since some
apples require more sugar than others.
If not sufficiently tart to be brisk, add
little lemon juice, say one lemon to
each quart of apple, with enough addi-
tional sugar to sweeten. Bake half or
three-quarters of an hour, or until the
apple is well cooked. Serve warm or
cold. better cold without dressing.

To MAKE HAIR CURL.-The method
employed by professional workers in
hair is as follows: Wet the hair to be
curled, wrap it smoothly around cylin-

it in place, then put it in water and boil
it two or three hours, remove it from
the boiler, wrap it carefully in newspa-

CURDLED EGGs.-Wash half dozen
eggs, put them into a saucepan, cover
them with boiling water, and place them
where they will keep hot but not boil.
Let them stand about seven minutes,
then skim out carefully, and serve at
once. The whites should be tender and
custard-like throughout, and the yolks
stiff or fluid as preferred. 1t is the
leathery white that makes common hard
boiled eggs SO difficult of digestion.
Broken over warm hominy, milk toast,
oatmeal mush, crushed wheat, boiled
wheat, or warm potato, these curdled
eggs make delicious dressing.

To BLEACH CoTroN. very good way
to bleach cotton cloth is to soak it in
buttermilk for a few days. Another
way is to make good suds, put from
one to two tablespoonfuls of turpentine
into it before putting the clothes in.
Wash as usual, wringing the clothes
from the boil, and drying without rims
ing. By using one tablespoonful of
turpentine in the first spds on washing
days it will save half the labor of rub
bing, and the clothes will never become

A New FERTILIZER.-Indian Meal is
said to be equal to Peruvian Guano as
a fertilizer. Like the latter, it will kill
the germ of the seeds if applied in too
large quantities. 1t may be used in
the hill, furrow or broadcast, in about
the same quantities as guanO. at &C
cents per bushel for corn, q ton of ii
costs S2i, or about one-third as much
as guano. 1t acts quickly upon the
growing crops and may be applied to
wheat in the Spring, at the time of SOW
ing clover, and raked in with the grass
seeds.
From all that we have heard of this
article as a fertilizer, it is certainly
worthy trial, and We hope that some
of our readers Will experiment with il
the coming season and report the result.
Wheat bran also may be quite as valu-
able for this purpose, and may be tried
in the same manner. A tablespoonful
of corn-meal may be applied to hill of
corn, or 300 lbs. to the acre on wheat or
other broadcast crops. 1t is said to
answer quite as well on potatoes and
other root crops.

SOME very curious cases of death of
cattle by penetration of the reticulum
or paunch. by pieces of wire which had
been swallowed along with the food
occurred not long since in England.
The symptoms were dullness, loss of
appetite, and distention of the stomach;
a staring coat, and grunting when the
animal was compelled to move, or when
the right side was pressed with the
fingers. On applying the ear to the
chest the respiratory murmur was less
distinct upon the right than upon the
left side. There was also a marked
absence of cough or any other indica-
tion of disease. In every case the coats
of the stomach had been pierced.

THE reclamation of a very valuable
tract of land upon one of the Scotch
rivers was made in a simple manner
quite recently. Stakes were driven into
the mud at the waters edge at regular
distances parallel to the course of the
river. Between these stakes branches
and brush were wattled OF interlaced.
This simple contrivance resulted in the
deposit at every high water of large
quantities of silt and mud until at last
an embankment was thrown up without
any further expense sufficient to keep
out water except at high floods. The
land thus reclaimed was sown with
grasses and is now used for grazing
cattle, and is valued at $500 per acre
for this purpose alone. There are
thousands of acres alongside of our
rivers, both upon the coast and inland.
which might be reclaimed in this or
similar ways at very little expense. As
a preventive of washing away of banks
it might also be made use of in many
cases.
