Presence of Mind in Accidents.

Professor Wilder gives these short
rules for action in case of accident
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing,
and dash water into them; remove
cinders, ETC., with the round end of a
lead pencil. Remove insects from the
ear by tepid water; never put a hard
instrument into the ear. If an artery
is cut, compress above the wound; if a
vein is cut, compress below. If
choked, get upon all tours and cough.
For light burns, dip the part in cold
water; If the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish. Smother fire with car
pets, etc.; water will often spread burn
ing oil, and increase the danger. Be
fore passing through smoke, take full
breath, and then stoop low; but if car
bon is suspected, then walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore. Enlarge the wound, or.
better, cut out the part without delay.
Hold the wounded part as long as can
be borne to hot coal or end of cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting
by tickling the throat, or by hot water
or mustard. For acid poisons, give
acids; in case of opium poisoning, give
strong coffee and keep moving. IF you
fell into the water, float on the back,
with the nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplexy, raise the head and body;
for fainting, lay the person fiat.

DETECTION OF ADULTERATED VINE
M. de Cherville gives the following
useful hints for deciding whether red
wines are artifcially colored or not ::
Pour into glass small quantity of
the liquid you wish to test, and dissolve
a bit of potash in it. If no sediment
forms, and if the wine assumes green
lsh hue, it has not been artifcially col
ored; if violet sediment forms, the
wine has been colored with mulberr1es; if
the sediment is red, it has been colored
with beet root or Pernambuco wood; if
violet red, with logwood; if yellow, with
phytolac berries; if violet blue, with
privet berries; and if pale violet, with
sunfower"

ViOletS i'm Winter.

Perhaps some of our lady readers,
says the Miners Journal, may be inter
ested IN knowing how to raise in winter
those sweet-scented flowers, violets.
The following plan is recommended
with confidence: First take few old
boards and construct bottomless box,
about three or four feet in length, and
two feet square, sinking it in the earth
nearly it's full depth, on the sunny side
of the garden. The top of the box
should be slanting and covered with a
glass door or lid on hinges. After hav-
ing the box Well liked, plant five or six
good healthy violet stalks, and the bed
is complete. But to run the same sue
sessfully, great care is necessary. Dur
ing the day, in warm and pleasant
weather, the glass lid should be opened,
but always closed at night. When
cold weather setssin, the plants should
be well covered with dry leaves, and
when wanted to bloom the covering re-
moved. On very cold nights the box
should be covered with three or four
pieces Of carpet as also ON veryseold
days. The plan has been known ito
work, and violets on Christmas and New
Years made quite plentiful

Pear Blight Remedy.

Mr., G. F. B. Leighton, president of
the Norfolk, Va, Horticultural Society,
is authority for the statement that the
remedy for pear blight, recommended
by the Commissioner of Agriculture,
has proved successful in Eastern Vir-
ginia. This remedy is made and APP
piled as follows
One pound of sulphur added to six OF
eight pounds Of carbolate of lime, re-
duced to the consistency of thick white
wash, and applied to the diseased parts,
and where the bark is diseased remove
the outer portion before making the
application. Mr.. L. says he has used
this with magical effect on blighted OF
disea ed trees, but writes to the Ameri.
can Farmer that In future he will use
the formula recommended by the Hon
VIM. Saunders, of Washington, who has
charge of the public grounds, as being
more economical than the above, on &C
count of the volatile nature of carbolic
acid To half bushel of lime add four
pounds of sulphur; slake to the con-
sistency of whitewash, and, when ap-
piled, add half an ounce of carbolic
acid to each gallon of wash, and apply
as above directed.

The New King of Spain.

Prince Alfonso, who has just succeed
ed to the throne of Spain, was born il
November, 1857 His mother, the ex
Queen Isabella H., was compelled tc
quit Spain, on the success Of the revo-
luton of 1868, and took up her resi-
dence at the Chateau of Pau, placed at
her disposal by the French emperor.
From there she issued protest (Sep-
TENDER 80, 1861 against the new order
OF things III Spain, the provisional gov
eminent having declared her forfeiture
OF the throne. On the 25th of June,
1870, she renowned all her claims to
the Spanish crown in favor OF her son,
Alfonzo. The royal exiles have re-
sided alternately at Paris and Geneva
since. In the election in the Cortes for
king, the Prince of Asturias received
eight votes, ten others of his adherents
casting their votes for blank
From Geneva, the ex-Queen is
sued protest against the cleo
ton OF Amadeus to the throne. Don
Alfonzo meanwhile was receiving the
usual education of a Bourbon Prince,
under the supervision of priests and
Spanish courtiers who still adhered to
the fortunes Of the exiles, until last
October, when, by permission of the
British government, he was admitted to
the Military school at Sandhurst, Eng
land, where he remained until he re-
ceived the invitation to visit the Spanish
army of the north and acted upon it.
On the 22nd ult. an address of con-
graduation was sent to him by Spanish
Grandees, to which he replied, assur-
ing them that the Monarchy alone could
terminate the disorders and uncertainty
which prevail in Spain, and that ma
jority of the people of Spain were
agreed and had declared that he only is
" the rightful representative Of the
Spanish Monarchy"

An Immense Vein of Copper.
From the Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel, stl

About two years ago Sarah Winnie
mucca, the Piute Princess, informed
Captain Comins that she had learned
from members of her tribe that extern
s1ve deposits of ore existed in the north
western part of this county, near Sc
Guided valley, where the Indians, when
at war with the whites, made their head
quarters. She selected a trusty Indian
to accompany him to that locality, but
the Captain was unexpectedly sum-
moned to San Francisco, and his visit
to the Indian headquarters was indeffi-
nltely postponed. Last week the Piute
selected by the Princess made his appear
ance In town, and recognizing Comins
reminded him of their contemplated
prospecting tour The secret was con.
tided to Pat Bell, who, in company
with Comins and the Indian, quietly
left town, armed and equipped with
poll-plck and shovel, and weeks
rations for three. Guided by the In
dian they rode through the sage brush
day and night, and on the evening of
the second day out camped in beauti-
full valley, through which stream of
water capable Of running forty stamps
flowed. The mountains surround
ing the valley were covered with
a dense growth of cedar and
the stream had it's origin in numerous
springs in the canyons and foot hills
Having refreshed themselves with a
nights rest, the Indian led them up the
mountain about a mile and half from
the water, and, pointing to an immense
ledge which cropped out full ten feet
wide on the mountain, said: "iou
heap see 'em o. Answering eyes, =
they alighted and proceeded, with the
aid of poll-pick, to prospect the
" find" which they found to be a heavy,
greenish colored ore, in apparently
inexhaustible quantities. Filling a
saddle bag with specimens, they pro-
ceeded to look around, and discovered
that the vein was easily traced dis
lance of mile or more Oh the surface,
in granite and slate formation
and naming it the "Antelope," located
1900 feet each. On their return to
camp they discovered another vein
about six feet wide, which they called
the Mountain Sheep" and next morn
ing, having located mill site, set out
on their way homeward, loaded to the
guards with specimens, which were yes

The copper ore is massive, and undoubt-

metal, with perhaps silver. The other
resembles galena, but ore of a similar
character in the East Range proved to be
iron. The locations have been recorded

Fig Coffee.

A coffee substitute of roasted figs has
been In the market in Austria for ten
years, and is also prepared at present
i'll Berlin. Recent careful tests of it in
dictate that it possesses a more agree
able flavor than the chiccory substitute,
and has thus far been brought into the
market free from injurious adultera-
tions, often present in chiccory coffee.
Samples from Berlin in the form of a
coarse, brown powder, including yell
lowish particles, formed an adhering,
slightly gummy mass on being lightly
pressed between the fingers, and pos
sessed sweetish- bitter taste like cara
mel, and a corresponding odor. Aus
trian samples, although in the main
similar to the preceding, were slightly
more pulverulent, and of a sourish
taste, which fact, together with the
chemical analysis, rendered it probable
that cheaper, inferior, perhaps even
spoiled figs, had been used in it's pre-
paration. At its first introduction won
derful medicinal properties were claim
ed for it in Austria, especially in
affections of the lungs, etc., and it was
recommended for nervous persons.
Although it may be serviceable in such
cases, it can hardly be considered me-
dicinal, and the Berlin manufacturer
claims that it is more wholesome than
pure coffee, simply because it is less
stimulating. In all cases it is recon-
mended to employ an equal quantity of
coffee with the substitute, and the color
of the product is said to be exceedingly
fine, as we'll as the flavor.

Mr.. FrOude's African Mission.

The Manchester Examiner SAYS: cit
will occasion surprise in some quarters
to hear that Lord Carnarvon has en-
trusted Mr.. Froude, the historian. with
secret and delicate mission to South
Africa. His first object is to make in
quiries into the circumstances connect
ed with the late Caffre instruction;
and his second to ascertain the dispo-
sitions of the two republics towards
federation with the South African col
onies. 1t would seem he is also to hear
what Natal has to say to annexation
to the Cape, though a Natal paper in
some way arrives at the conclusion that
in any case Natal is to be dragged into
the net, whether it will or not AS Mr.
Froude is in the position OF good chill
dren who are expected to hear, see and
say nothing, it is impossible at present
to criticise his work. At the same
time it's scope is tolerably
apparent We catch a glimpse of
South African Empire, not limited to
the existing British colonies, but en-
bracing the two neighboring Republics,
and looking quite imposing-upon
paper. We do not say that this view
should be dismissed as waking dream,
but we are quite justified in observing
that if it is ever to be realized, it must
be at the direct solicitation of the peo-
pie who will be affected by it. A less
ambitious attempt at confederation of
the British colonies in South Africa has
already been tried, and failed on ac-
count of the strong opposition to it on
the spot. What the present feeling is
it is for Mr.. Froude to ascertain, but
there is hot much encouragement in the
observation of the Natal witness that
the hopelessness of federation to the
extent proposed WIS no doubt made ap-
parent to Mr.. Froude before he had
been many hours in Cape Town.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Rest Field Beans.


The Rural Home, Rochester, n. Y,
saws that in Western New York the
NeIum and Marrow are most planted,
I'd the White Kidney and the Early
Pea to limited exteDt. The Medium
is considered the most reliable, as, from
its early ripening it is less affected by
the vicissltudes of the season. It sells
for less, however. than the other varie-
ties named. The Marrow is quite a
popular variety, and on strong soil is
very productive. It is quoted thirty
five cents a bushel higher than Medium
In the Rochester market, now, and the
same as Kidney. The White Kidney
has larger stalks, requires, longer
season to be matured in, and is more
liable to be spoiled in ripening. When
everything, however, is favorable it will
produce large crops. 1t viii, of course,
make difference in what way the beans
are planted as to the quantity of seed
required, but farmers generally use
about bushel of the Marrows and
Mediums to the acre, rather more of the
Kidneys, and about half as much of the
Pea bean.

Rheumatism in Horses.

Inflammation of the muscles and ten
dons in the horse is much more COM
mon than is generally supposed, and
many obscure forms of lameness may be
considered to belong to this disase.
Very often horse, after a wet or cold
days work, comes out of the stable "as
stiff as poker" and scarcely able TO
walk, upon which his master fancies
that he will be laid up with severe
lameness for ONE months; but On
entering the stable next morning he is
surprised to find his horse is quite
right again and fit for work, The great
peculiarly of these attacks of rheumatic
lameness is their liability to shift and
change, the horse on one day being lame
III his near fore-leg, and perhaps on the
next refusing to put his off hind
foot to the ground. But sometimes
the disease is persistent IN one limb,
though varying in degree and here the
horse always trots lame on one leg; at
other times both fore limbs may be at
fected either in the shoulder or in the
feet; but the difficulty is to find out the
seat. IF before, it is usually in the
shoulder or arm, and it behind, in the
muscles Of the hip. Shoulder lameness,
when present, is often rheumatic, butin
some cases it is the result of a strain; in
either case, however, requiring thesame
treatment Lameness from rheumatism
may always be known by the horse lift
ing his leg, whether hind or fore, with
difficulty; whereas in the disease of the
foot or the lower part of the leg he lifts
1t readily enough, outputs it down with
great caution, and fin ches when it is on
the ground. The toe is also dragged on
tie ground IN rheumatism, which causes
actual loss of action or power; whereas,
this dragging is never seen in the fore
foot from any other cause. In the rheu
matte hip, the same kind Of defective
action is seen, and the hind leg is not
brought forward with sufficient power
or freedom. La every case the treat
ment consists In rubbing in stimulat-
ing hn1ment, such as the following:
Camphor, Ole ounce; oil turpentine and
spirit of wine, of each three ounces; mix
and apply portion night and morning;
1T should be rubbed well in with the
hand. The horses general health
should be attended to, and his stomach
set right by stomachic balls, if necessa-
ry; or fever ball, as the following,
given every other night, will sometimes
give relief: Nitrate of potash. one
ounce; camphor, one drachm ard a half:
calomel and op1am, of each one scruple:
hnseed meal and water, enough to form
a ball.

Preparation for a German Students
Duel.
From London Society.

From London Society.
Next to the skin they wore coarse
white linen shirt, and thick pad I'M
der the right arm to guard the brachial
arteries On the right arm were placed
thick leather glove and sirk sleeve,
then a sleeve of quilted canvas about
an inch thick, an elbow pad of leather
bound on white straps, and canvas
bandage over all. So thick were these
bandages that it was impossible to let
the arm hang by the side. A slightly
twisted silk handkerchief extended
from the little finger along the outside
OF the wrist to guard it. A large
thick leather apron, slit in the
middle SO as to be fastened to each leg
with straps, covered the lower part Of
the chest and extended below the knees.
To prevent an accidental wound in the
eye, pair of iron eye-goggles were
strapped on, furnished with glasses for
those who were short sighted. A pad
ded neck-guard completed the dress.
Thus swathed and bandaged up, the ap-
pearance of the combatants was rather
comical as, with their huge bandaged
arms supported by friends, they walked
with slight swagger around the room,
waiting till the umpire had taken his
seat. The seconds were provided
with arm guards and feather
peaked caps, with neck guards,
like small holsters, and swords,
not to protect their principals
but to prevent foul play. The umpire,
watch and note book in hand, soon took
his seat, and the weapons were handed
fO tho suor1omon Tho ruor1s hove :,
very large iron-barred hilt, something
of the shape of a claymore hilt, but
much larger. They are quite straight,
three-quarters of an inch wide at the
hilt and tapering to quarter of an inch
at the point. They are very thin and
flexible, and low-tempered in order that
they may not be brittle, and require
constant Strengthening during the fight.
They are very sharp at the point for
about nine inches; the rest is blunt.
