Whoever will try alum and honey-a
small portion of each-will never suffer

Dat meal is becoming popular popu-
lar dealer says the consumption of the arti-

year.
To get rid of the smell of oil paint,
plunge handful of hay into a pailful of
water, and let it stand in a room newly
painted.
Wax flowers, if left out in drizzling
rain, will be thoroughly cleansed in short
time, and will look wonderfully refreshed
and thankful.
Nothing is more sure in the chemistry of
life than that the great bread eaters are the
great thinkers, or that the phosphorus
which wheat contains, in the outer kernel,
Immediately beneath the outer husk, is the
feeder of brains, and the material substance
which provokes thought, study, reason and
all the forms of nervous energy.
There are Psychologists who attribute the
remarkable success of states like Ohio, In
diana and Illinois to the bounty and per
feet of the wheat crop, and the intellectual
stimuous, or rather food, which it affords
the brain. Certainly no commonwealth in
the world has evinced a higher sense of
law and order, or more rapidly developed
social system which has hardly an equal in
the world.
The American Health Association inyite
the public to adopt the prevention cure for
the maintenance of health. The sani-
tarians assert that zymotlc dis
eases, such as smallpox, cholera,
yellow fever, typhoid and scarlet fe-
yer, which annually destroy millions of
lives, are entirely preventable. Mans ig-
norance and criminal neglect lie at the
root of scourges, which were once believed
to be the sign of divine wrath. Now, then,
let the doctors tell us just what to do, and
then let the laws and the courts enforce it.
The disregard of sanitary regulations
should be punished as surely as theft or
murder, for ii robs the community of
health and Stays its members. If the doc
tors tell us truly, there is no reason why
man should not reach fourscore years in

! century.
A writer in the Medical Jonrnal, discours-
ing on dyspepsia, says "We have seen
dyspeptcs who suffered untold torments
with almost every kind of food, and tor
ments of which they did tell after some
medicines given for relief. No liquid could
be taken without suffering Bread be-
came burning acid. Meat and milk were
solid and liquid fires. We have seen these
same sufferers trying to avoid food and
drink, and even going to the enema syringe
for sustenance And we have seen their
torments pass away and their hunger re-
lieved by living upon the white of eggs,
which had been boiled in bubbling water
for thirty minutes. At the end of week,
we have given the hard yolk of the egg
with the white, and upon this diet alone,
without fluid of any kind, we have seen
them begin to gain flesh and strength and
refreshing sleep. After weeks of this
treatment they have been able. with care
to begin upon other food. And all this,
the writer adds, without taking medicine
He says that hard-boiled eggs are not hall
so bad as half-boled ones, and ten times al
easy to digrest as raw eggs, even in egg
nOg."
Herren A. and L. Helm have lately beer
conducting some interesting experiments t.
determine the tone of waterfalls, and have
communicated the results TO the Natura
History society at Schaffhausen, Switzer
land. They say that mass of falling
water gives the chord of G sharp &C, e
d., and below these notes the non-acc0rd
ant +. When G and ID sound louder thar
the middle note, f is heard very fully. i

clear, rushing noise. The F is deep, dull
