Consumption Can BE Cured.

SCHENCK's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic, Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the only
medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of the patient they lock up the
liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact, they clog the action of the
very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of
o-thirds Of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of dull pain in the side, consti
patton coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade,
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from dlsor-
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons affected, if they take one or two heavy
colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid and inactive and, almost before
they are aware, the lungs are mass of sores and
liberated, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain OPIUM or anything cacu-
lated to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach aids
digestion and creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, OF the
symptoms otherwise of bilious tendency
Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required
These medicines are prepared only by j. 81.

FARM AND HOME.

"A Warrantable Pudding-Two cups
of flour, one cup sugar, one tablespoon
butter, one egg, one teaspoon SODA, two OF
cream of tartar; steam one and one-half
hours. Currants, raisins or any fruit de-
sired can be used.
Some weeds can be killed and pre-
vented from growing in garden paths by
watering the ground with weak solution
of carbolic acid, one part pure crystal
liZed acid to 1900 parts water. Sprinkle
from a watering pot.
For the protection of iron and steel
tools against rust Vogel recommends a
solution of white wax in benzine. The
latter, heated, will dissolve half Its weight
of wax. This will preserve the metal,
even from the action of acid vapors. Ap-
ply with a brush. 81
The best time for watering plants is
toward evening, as the evaporation IS not
so rapid during the night; whereas, if
watered only in the morning, they so soon
dry off that they do not get the full bene-
fit of the evaporation process, which sup
plies the place of dew and makes them
look fresher and more vigorous.
-Lapland Cakes.-These are the most
delicate of all tea-cakes, and delightful II
made by a scrupulously-careful cook.
Take five eggs, beat the whites and yelks
separately till both are as light as may be;
then mix them together, and add one
pint of rich cream, with as much flour as
will make it the consistency OF pound
cake batter. This quantity it is ascer-
tanned by experiment to be about one pint
of sifted flour. Half fill small tin shapes
with the batter, and set it to bake in a
well-heated oven. Ten minutes should
suffice for the baking, and the cakes
should be sent to table while piping hot.
Selecting Seed Corn-Corn which
gets fully ripe before the early frosts is
much better than that which is only about
half matured. And the only way to OBJ
tain corn which will be sure to ripen in
our Northern States is either to plant only
some small and early variety or to save
for seed the ears of the latter kinds which
first get ripe. There are varieties grown
in New England which would be firstrate
if they were perfectly sure to ripen, but
in short seasons they do not get well
matured. But for this fact they would be
much better and more profitable than the
smaller kinds. By selecting the seed in
the lot before the crop is cut, so as to
make sure of getting the ears which rip
ened first and following this course year
after year, these later varieties may be
made to ripen before there is any danger
of frost. We know a man who, by follow
ing this course many years, has caused
his corn to ripen two weeks earlier in the
season than it did when he began. He
goes into the field when the husks begin
to turn brown and selects the ripest ears,
and as far as possible takes them from
stalks which produce two good-sized and
perfect ears. These are husked and put
in cool place where they will keep with.
out heating. We commend his example
to other farmers as worthy of imitation

Gypsy Superstition.

THE reader who is familiar with the re-
ligious observances of India is probably
aware of the extraordinary regard In
which the cup is held by many sects. In
Germany, as Mr.. Liebach declares, drink
ing cups are kept by the gypsies with
superstitious regard, the utmost care be-
ing taken that they never fall to the
ground. "Should this happen, the cup is
never used again. BY touching the
ground it becomes sacred, and should no
more be used. When a gypsy cares for
nothing else, he keeps his drinking cup
under every circumstance" In England
there are many persons who could not be
induced to drink from white cup or
bowl, the reason alleged being the very
frivolous and insufficient one that it re-
minded them of blood basin. 1t is al
most needless to say that this could never
have been the origin of the antlpathy. No
such consideration deters English peas
ants from using white crockery drinking
vessels. In Germany, among the gypsies,
if woman has trodden on any object, or
if the skirt of her dress has swept over or
touched it, it is either destroyed, or, if of
value, is disposed of, or never used again.
The same foolish custom still prevails
among the old gypsy families in England
and elsewhere throughout the world; II
the object be crockery plate or cup, 1t is
at once broken For this reason, even
more than for convenience, real gypsies
are accustomed to hang every cooking
utensil, and all that appertains to the ia
BILE, high up in their wagons 1t is al
most needless to point out how closely
these ideas agree with those of many Hin

Organisms in the Atmosphere.

A BRIEF record of the studies of Mr.. G.
HI. Blackley on the connection between
the pollen of grasses and hay asthma is
given in the Quarterly Journal Of Micro-
scopsc Science. The observations were
continued from April to the end Of July.
By means of slip of glass coated with
non-dying liquid, and exposed horizon
tally, the quantity of pollen grains present
in the air of a meadow at the breathing
level was daily estimated. The greatest
number was obtained June %, when $50
grains settled upon surface of square
centimeter in twenty-four hours. Sudden
diminutions In the quantity of pollen were
occasioned by rain together with fall in
the temperature. By the use of a kite
strata of atmosphere were examined to
the height of 1000 feet. Pollen was
found to be much more abundant in the
upper levels than at the breathing level,
the proportion being as ten to one. Fun
gold spores were found in the air in large
quantities. In one experiment the spores
Of a cryptogam were too numerous at the
height of 1000 feet to be counted, but
were reckoned at rough estimate to. be
not less than 10000 or 10000 to the square
inch. By series Of experiments it was
proved that these organisms travel consid-
cradle distances through the air.
