USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A.cnLD affected with measles appears
TO have severe cold in the head. It's
eyes are red and very sensitive 10 the
light, its face is swollen, and on the third
day the eruption appears on the face In
blotChes OF crescent or horseshoe
shape, which spread and cover the sur
face of the body. When the finger Is
pressed firmly on these red blotchcs the
redness does not go away.
To HULL Com IN TEN MINUTES. Heat
pot half full of water with half the
amount of good hardwood ashes sifted
in. Pour the shelled corn into it-as
much, If you wish, as this lye will cover.
Boil it as quickly as you can, and for
five TO seven minutes, or until the hull is
eaten of, which may be by this time
half or all jelly, and the kernel not sat
uratod or swelled any. Then wash il in
a colander set in small tub, pouring in
gradually about two pals of water while
squeezing the corn through the hands
IL is then hulled and ready for q thorough
boiling, which will take about four hours.
Keep the corn covered by pouring in hot
water from the tea-kettle occasionally.
The second hour the corn swells rapid
ly and absorbs great deal Of water.
The last hour let IL boil very slowly and
simmer down about dry. Don't stir it
any,as that will make il stick ON the bot
tom of the pot and burn. Put no salt in
it. When done it will be as free from
the taste of lye rs rice, and if white dent
corn is used (which generally prefer) 1t
will be burst open and white, like pop
corn.--OOr. Prairie Farmer.
SCARLET.FEvER generally begins with
nausea, followed by pain in the limbs and
sore throat; the face is not swollen and
the eyes are not very sensitive to the
light. On the second day the rash APP

vivid red, which become diffused and
spread over the entire body The tongue
is very white, with blood-red spots ap.

pencil or the finger is pressed firmly on
the skin the redness will give place for q
time, leaving the skin white where the
pressure was exerted, and then tine scar

turns brown and the skin is very dry
This is the dangerous time, since the
skin, being unable to perform ats func-
tion, the kidneys and lungs have double
work to do AT this stage of the illness
the foundation is often laid for Bright's
disease of the kidneys, and everything
depends on keeping the skin soft and
moist. This can be done by oiling il
freely with salad oil, with pure lard, with
unsalted butter, or, what is most agree
able of all, with glycerine and rose water
two parts of the former to one of the lat.

is-to immerse the patient in warm bath,
which is repeated frequently.-ChicdgC

How a Lover Cut HaIf-Married Rival
Out,

The Salem (Oregon) Statesman tells the
following interesting story of two bride
grooms' troubles:
{" A few days since q young man hail
ing from the classic precincts of the La
Creole applied to the County Clerk of
Polk County for license to marry
yonng lady, which the accommodating
Clerk issued. The same day another
young man applied for license to
marry. The Clerk was not In, and his
deputy issued the license. The two
licenses were issued for the same girl
The first party fastened to the home of
his young inamorata, and, fixed up in
gay attire, they hastcned to minister's
residence to have the knot tied in
regular orthodox style. While the cere-
mony was being performed party No. 2
came painting into the room, his face
flushed and his almost broken heart
humping percephbly. In answer to the
question If there were any who objected
to the bans, No. yelled out he did, at
the same time presenting his license
duly issued and signed by the County
Clerk. Here was quandary the man of
God couldn't get through his clerical
brain and he stopped, leaving the party
unmarried. No. l came to this city the
next day to consult an attorney. He was
in a world of trouble-frustrated IN his
cherished desire of wedding his lady-love
the day before, he wanted to appeal to
the law, perhaps to place an injunction
ON his rival, No 2. While No. l was tax
ing legal advice No. 2 took the much
coveted Rose of Dallas to another dis
penser of connubial ties and was mar.
ried. When No. 1 returned he found
that while he had gained his point as to
the law his rival had gained his point in
matrimOnY."

Ashes FOR crops.

In answer to correspondent who
asks us sundry questions as to the value
of ashes, we answer that unleached ashes
are more valuable than leached, but that
both or either are valuable applied di-
rectly to the soil from which any crop is
to be taken, whether grain, vegetables
or fruits, whether on fallow or grass
lands, on strawberry plantations or in
orchards. Ashes contain essential COM
ponents of all crops. They should not be
mixed with compost-that is, there is no
gain in so mixing them-but applied
broadcast directly to the soil, whether it
is grass land Or land that is to be plowed.
We never knew farmer who could get
more ashes than it was profitable to APP
ply to his land. One hundred bushels
per acre is not too much to apply to old
cultivated lands. Any man who asserts
that wood ashes applied to orchards is
death TO trees either does not know what
he is talking about, or has a selfish pur-
pose in lying. Especially are ashes ex-
cellent for orchards. They should not
be heaped right about tho bodies of the
trees, but spread over the roots, which
extend as far from the bodies of the trees
as the branches do. Ashes are specially
valuable as top dressing on old grass
lands, or on lands cropped with grain.
For root crops they are equally impor-
tant; indeed, as we say above, there is no
crop grown and no land cultivated that
is not benefited in greater or less de-
gree by the application of leached or un-
leaChed ashes-the latter being the more
aluable.-RurdL NeaD Yorker.

OF course, their change from the tad
pole condition to the worm takes place
within the body of the insect in which
they take up their temporary home, liv.
ing and increasing by the nutritious
fluids there found until nearly or quite
fully grown. That such is the case has
been verified by the report from Mr.
Justice Gage, who some years since wrote
TO the Michigan Farmer, as the result of
his observations, that he had discovered
that the cricket resorts to the water dur
ing the month of August to rid itself of
its unwelcome intruder. Mr. q. had
been led to believe that the hair worms,
which were numerous in certain local
ity, issued from the bodies of criCkets,
which were also numerous in the same
locality, although he was unacquaintcd
with the manner in which they found
their way into the crickets.
One day, after he had been experiment.
ing by placing crickets in the water to
obtain hair worms from them, and had
succeeded in securing two specimens,
he noticed cricket crawling up the side
of his WATERFALL. 1t jumped into the
water, lay quiet for moment, produced
| hair worm some six inches in length,
and then made its escape nimbly over the
edge of the pail. About the same time
he found worm some seven inches long
in dead cricket which he found under
a stone.--Pdctfc Rural Press

How the King Was Amused.

A WRITER on the King of Bavaria, in
the GGldGN says; Let us not forget to
mention whim which supplied CONVEX
sation for several days in the court and
the city during this last winter. For
several days the King had ordered that
thirty of his best horses should be fed
with oats alone. The grooms thought
that he was preparing for race. In the
midst of snow-storm he had little
tower built in a forest, with a gallery,
where, on a certain day, he stationed an
orchestra of wind instruments. He him.
self ascended the summit of his observa-
tory, around which he ordered his horses
to be led. In the corn-felds he scattered
here and there drums, kettles, and some
soldiers with guns loaded with powder.
What could be the meaning of this? An
order had been given that each one
should remain in his place in perfect
silence The affair was beginning to be
tiresome, when suddenly the King, from
the top of his tower, made q sign which
was expected by the leader of the orches-
ira, by the drums, trumpets and
soldiers. An internal hubbub burst
forth, rolling of great drums, powder ex-
plosions, shrill whistles, hoarse howlings.
Seized with mad terror, the horses
started, burst their fastenings, leaped up,
wildly running here and there, tails and
names floating in the wind, they reared,
zigzagged, whirled in circles, fleeing the
uproar which beloved from all the
bushes, and seemed to pursue them. AT
last, one after the other, the distracted
and maddened animals disappeared from
the horizon. In the evening, the next
day and the day after they were picked
up enfeebled, still wild and frightened.
Some had fled to the mountains, others
to the woods and marshes. The peasants
had collected several. We know not if
any were missing. But no matter, His
Majesty had been we'll amused"
