FARM AND HOME.

TO Cure Felon.--As soon as the
parts begin to swell wrap the parts affect
ed with a cloth thoroughly saturated with
tincture of lobelia, and the felon is dead.
An old physician says he has known it to
cure in scores of cases, and 1t never tails
if applied in season.-Egchange.
Potato Sautees.-These are even more
agreeable with meat than fried potatoes.
Cold boiled potatoes are sliced up and
tossed UP in tin saucepan with butter,
mixed with little chopped parsley, till
they are lightly Drowned. Pure goose or
other dripping is, by many cooks, pre-
ferred to butter for this purpose.
PURGE OF Potatoes.-This differs from
mashed potatoes only in the employment
of more milk and butter, and in the whole
being carefully reduced to perfectly
smooth, thick, cream-like mixture. Where
economy is great object, and where rich
dishes are not desired, the following Is an
admirable mode ofmashing potatoes: Boil
them till thoroughly done, having added a
handful of salt to the water, then dry
them well, and with two forks placed
back to back beat the whole up till no
Jumps are left. If done rapidly, potatoes
thus cooked ar extremely light and di
gestible.
Taking timothy hay as the standard
of comparison it requires 100 pounds OF
it to supply certain amount of nOurish-
ment 1t is estimated by careful expert
ment that the same amount of nourish-
ment can be obtained by using the follow
ing quantities of other food verhay,
ninety-five pounds; rye straw, 800 pounds
oat straw, 220 pounds; potatoes, 1876
pounds; carrots, $50 pounds; beets, 346
pounds; ruta-bagas, 1862 pounds; wheat,
forty-three pounds; peas, forty-four
pounds; beans, forty-six pounds; rye, for
ty-nine pounds; barley, fifty-one pounds
corn, fifty-six pounds; oats, fifty-nine

in large majority of cases, says The
Journal Of Health, it will be found that
the best and heartiest meal of the day
should be eaten in the morning. If the
closing repast of the day has not been
eaten too late, or has not been excessive
in quantity or indigestible in quality, the
stomach will be rested and active in the
morning after the individual has enjoyed
a cool bath. The stomach will then re.
spond quickly with the necessary gastric
juice for the solution of food, and if a
fair amount Of exercise is taken during
the day large mass of food will be as:
simulated and converted into blood and
tissue. With good, substantial break
fast no great amount of food will be re-
quired during the remainder of the day.

About the Kitchen.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago inter-
Ocean writes as follows:
I am not going to write this piece for
those people who can keep half dozen
servants and sit upstairs, but for those
women who compose the larger part of
our housekeepers, those who do their
work themselves, washing, ironing, bak-
ing and all, besides taking care Of several
children. These women know that to do
their work and do it we'll they must spend
larger part of their time in the kitchen.
And as our surroundings are so does our
life seem to us. AS woman spends most
of her life in her kitchen, as it is, so will
everything seem to her. If it is bare, dark
and unpleasant, how much barer, darker
and more unpleasant will it make her life
seem, and 0ace 0ersd. Even though the
rooms are kept clean in the strictest sense
of the word, we can't help seeing what a
hard, sharp, unpleasing look some houses
have inside as well as out. [ think if
housekeepcrs would, instead of keeping
all their pretty things for their best rooms,
bring few of them into the kitchen it
would bring great deal more sunshine
into their lives. Have cheerful paper on
the walls (not gaudy), and the woodwork
prettily grained instead of the dark steel
blue so commonly used. Have plenty of
sunshine there are no carpets or uphOl-
stery to fade there), and a few cheap, tasty
pictures or ornaments liven it up little.
If they do make some more busting they
amply repay for the work spent on them
in the satisfaction they give. A few ge-
raniums, OF pot of ivy in sunny win
dow, or winter bouquet on the clock
shelf, do not come amiss. have in my
mind while am writing this a happy
home, one of the happiest I ever knew of,
where lived about year while was at
tending school, The greatest charm about
the house was the kitchen. 1t was always
so light and cheerful, with few bright
pictures on the walls and ornaments on
the brackets; the painted floor and wood
work were always clean, the stove bright,
and few flowers in the sunniest window.
1t was always so easy to work in that
kitchen, and things seemed to keep "done
up'' of themselves. 1t was only few
minutes work to dust and arrange the
little things that would keep the heart glad
all day long. And if there was no fire in
the sitting-room when company came or a
girl friend came to see me we were not
ashamed to take them into the kitchen
and give them a seat in the easy-chair that
always stood there and that was always so
nice TO drop into when you had minute
to rest. lam sure it did great deal more
good than if it had been sitting stiff and
straight in the best ROOM For somehow
the husband and father seemed to prefer
sitting in it by the bright fire, with the
pretty pictures around him. in the evening
rather than sit on hard counter at the
country store or groggery, among the
fumes of tobacco smoke.
If women only knew this secret it would
make their lives more cheerful and happy,
to say nothing of the good it would do
their husbands and children, and the little
extra trouble would be paid back in two
fold ratio.

Setting into its prime. A good organ
ought to last generation, at least; a poor
one may last five years, with considerable
tinkering, or may break down much
sooner.
There is one safe way. Get genuine
production of one of the very best makers
and you cannot 90 astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the
Mason 81 Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are so we'll known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can make as good an organ as
the Mason 81 Hamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or Parlor
Organ in its improved FORM, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only in
this country but also in Europe. AT the
Great Exposition at Vienna, in comDeti-
ton with eighty of the best makers in the
world, they obtained the highest medals.
To enumerate the competitions at which
they have received similar honors
would be to give list of the fairs at
which they have exhibited; and to men,
ton the prominent musicians who rec
ommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give very good list
of the most illustrious musical names in
the country, with a good representation in
Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlln
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt that
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made.-Neso York hide
pendent.

Cabinet or ParlOr Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, who produce
more than forty thousand organs per an
mum. Most of these are very poor instru-
ments. This is naturally so, because there
are few articles in the manufacture of
use of inferior, improperly-prepared ma
terial and inferior workmanship, and yet
which, when finished, show so little diff
ference to the average purchaser. The
important parts of an organ, made as well
as they can be, cost two or three times as
much as if made as low as possible. Yet,
when the organ is done, it is not easy,
from casual hearings, to tell the difference
between the best and a very poor one. Es-
pecially when shown by one who knows
how to cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear a
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to
produce, at a fraction of the cost an organ
which will sell almost as we'll as good
one is almost irresistible. Hence the fact
that so few good organs are made and so
many poor ones, and that the country is
flooded with peddlers and dealers selling
these poor organs, which pay such large
profits. The thin, reedy tone of his cheap
organ soon becomes offensive, it works
noisily and roughly, is constantly out of
order, and becomes useless by the time
really good instrument would have been

One of the greatest improvements in the
practice of medicine is treating diseases OF
the lungs by direct application. Inhaling
the vapors of Tar, by burning or by the use
of hot water, was recommended sixty years
ago. By recent invention the Solution of

is found so satisfactory to the physician and

at the druggists, will give you the best in

In looking ever an official list of coun-
ties in the United States some interesting
facts are developed. There are in all
1,411 counties. The letter most largely
represented in the naming of these coun-
ties is S; the next M, and the next G.
More counties are named after Washing
ton than any President of the United
States, the number being 20. The names
of the other Presidents represented by
counties occur as follows: Jefferson, %
Jackson, 81 Madison, 10; Monroe, 1S;
Lincoln, II; Grant and Polk, II each
Johnson, II; Harrison, 8; Adams, s;
Taylor, Z; Van Buren,, 4; Pierce, 4; Blu
chanan, 3; and Fillmore and Tyler, 2
each. In many cases, however, in the
above list counties were not named after
the Presidents, but the selection of name
was influenced by local considerations.
There are 90 counties named after Frank
lin, 20 after Colfax, II after Marion, 2
after Fremont, 3 after Greeley, 1 after
Hendricks, s after Benton and Boone, 8
after Cass, Marshall and Putnam, IA after
Carroll, II after Douglass, and Is after
Montgomery. The names OF almost all
of1he Revolutionary heroes except Arnold
are represented in the list WASHINGTON

The Stringe Disease.

LIKE the thief atnight, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest ami sides, and sometimes in
the back. They fel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling ike a heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes faint, all-gone sensa-
ton at the pit of me stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
N.Y. After awhile scough sets in, at first
dry, but after few months it is attended
with greenish-colord eXpectOration. The
patient feels tired al the while, and sleep
does not appear to. fford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
giddiness, sort II whirling sensation in
the head when riAng up suddenly. The
bowels become costve, the skin is dry and
stagnant, the whies of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, The urine is scanty and
highcolored, depoiting sediment after
standing. There frequently a splitting up
of the food, sometimes with sour taste
and sometimes sweetish taste. This is
frequently attenied with palpitation of the
heart. The visin becomes impaired with
spots before thebyes. There is a feeling of
great prostratiO and weakness. All of
these symptomsdO not make their appear
ance at one Tins but during the various
stages they ar in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has ben found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
ease, ETC., ETC., but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is FUND, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roofs (not patent
medicine), whn prepared properly, will re-
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.

his guilt but as being intensely ignorant to sup
