scaIds and Burns.

Halls Journal Of Health gives the fol-
low ng advice on the treatment of scslds
and burns: ION the instant of the ac-
cident plunge the part under cold water.
This relieves the pain in second, and
allows all lands to become composed. If
the part cannot be kept under water,
cover t over with dry -four, an inch deep
or moe. In many instances nothing
more is needed after the flour; simply
let it remain until it falls off, when new
skin will be found under. In several
cases, while the part injured is under wa
ter, simmer leek or two in an earthen
vessel, with half their bulk of hogs lard,
until the leeks are soft, then strain
through muslin rag. This makes a
greenisl-colored ointment, which, when
cool, spread thickly on linen cloth and
apply il to the injured part. If there
are blisers let out the water. When
the pan becomes feverish and uncom.
Portable, renew the ointment, and rapid,
painless cure will be the result, if the
patient,in the meanwhile. lives exclu-
sively on fruits, coarse bread and other
light, lsosening diet"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Tasntsin Butter.

1t is perfectly astonishing that so little
care is taken with the products of the
dairy among the farmers generally
throughout the country. Time and again
have writers and agricultural experiments
demonstrated that milk, and butter par.
ticularly, are susceptible to foreign taints
and odors to remarkable degree, yet the
whole matter of care in preventing the
access Of Objectionable odors is regarded
with indifference. We have had occasion
lately, in visiting farm.houSes in different
localities, to inspect the accommodations
Tor the dairy, and in q very few instances
indeed, were proper means taken to secure
a proper ventilation and security for the
production of sweet and marketable
butter. In several cases the milk was
set on shelves in cellarsin which heaps Of
decaying roots and vegetables were ly.
ing, and the odor which arose from
them was anything but agree.
able. In one case, tub half filed
with dirty clothes was standing in the
cellar in close proximity to the milk
shelves, and in another cellar was Pc
troleum or kerosene barrel which sent
forth its peculiar odor very perceptibly.
OF course the milk absorbed the various
taints with which the cir was burdened,
and the consequence was a poor, almost
unmarketable quality OF butter was
churned, when a good, sweet product
might with proper care have been Sc.
cured. Farmers often speak, sometimes
sneeringly OF "git.tdge butter" mean
ing that which brings the highest market
price, but complaia when perhaps third,
or half Of the gilt-edged price is offered
for theirs. The high price is simply the
return for the exercise of proper care
and attention which they in preparing
their butter allied to give. There are
many more customers in town and city
who will psy almost any price for the
best qualify of butter that can be sup.
piled, ana there is no excuse for tho pro-
duction Of an inferior quality.-MasSa-
chusetts Pioughmdn.

A very touching little incident came to
my knowledge the other cay. Not far
from my home there is family of four
little children who have recently been
bereaved OF their mother. In any case
the loss of parent is great affection,
but when that parent is mother, and
such one as Mrs. l., the loss is vel |
nigh irreparable. A Christian woman Of
eminent piety, she daily devoted herself,
invalid though she was, to the religious
training other children. Why she should
have been removed from the care Of those
little ones, who had such urgent need of
her, is one of the inscrutable mysteries
that so often puzzle us in the dealings Of
an all.wise Providence. But He who DO
eth all things well saw fit to take her to
Himself from the sphere Ct her usefulness,
and leave to the bereaved husband the
task Of finishing, as well as be might, the
good work begun and carried on by her
thus far.
A short time ago business called the
father 70 neighboring city for the night,
and, for the first time, the little ones
found themselves seated at supper without

oldest Of them, but nine years old; Birdie
two years younger; Will, fine boy Of
FIVE; and active, irrepressible little three
year-old Harry. When supper was over,
Birdie said:
snow we ought to have prayers, Nellie I;
we always do"
"Yes, Birdie" answered her sister; "but
! do not know how to have them as papa
does"
But, Nellie" persisted the little girl,
"you might read chapter, and we can all
say Our Father"
20 yes. We can do that" said Nellie.
So with baby Harry keeping very still.
and the Others listening attentively, the
sweet young voice read chapter from the
inspired words Of Holy Writ. And then
the four little motherless ones knelt down
and four childish voices floating up 70 the
throne Of grace bore the words of our
Lords beautiful prayer-that perfect
prayer, so simple that child can under.
