ISrASr1LE THuMB-SucK1Se.- The Brit
ish Medical Journal publishes an article
BY DIR. Horace Dobells, in which that
distinguished physician states that he
has observed that peculiar and rather
common deformity of the chest is caused
by the habit of sucking the thumb in
infancy and early childhood. He says
that the weight of the arm on the thor
ak Of the child, during sleep, produces
depression of the ribs in the line occu-
pied by the arm when the thumb is
placed in the mouth. The doctor thinks
this is q very important effect Of the
habit of humb-sucking- one which has
never been pointed out--and he regards
it of sufficient consequence to be put on
record for the benefit of other obser-
yers. 49,. ...

To CLEAN OLD Pork BARRELs.-Old
pork barrels, whether tainted or sweet
should be thoroughly cleansed before
being used for new pork. A very sim
pie and offectual method is to put in q
peck of strong wood ashes and coup
lo of pals of water, and let it stand a
day or two; then scour thoroughly with
a stiff corn broom. The lye will take
hold of all the greasy particles with
which it comes in contact, and the ash
e., water and broom will, if vigorously
used, leave them as sweet as new bar
rels. Rinse in cold water to remove all
the ashes, then pour boiling water all
around the sides and wash clean; now
rinse again in cold water and the work
is done.

FRENCH PANCAKES. a pint of

Of loaf sugar, two ounces of -four, two
eggs. Put milk, butter and sugar into

then add the other ingredients and mix

TREATMENT OF BuRNs.-Hall's Journal
of Health says: On the instant of the
accident, plunge the part under cold
water. If the part cannot be kept
under water, cover it over with -four an
inch deep or more. In many, instances
nothing more is needed after the flour,
simply let it remain until it falls of,
when q new skin will be found under.
In severer cases, while the part injured
is under water, simmer leek or two in
an earthern vessel, with half their bulk
in hogs lard, until the leeks are soft,
then strain through muslin rag. This
makes a greenish- colored ointment,
which, when cool, spread thickly on u
linen cloth, and apply it to the injured
part. If there are blisters, let out the
water. When the part becomes fever
ish and uncomfortable, renew the ONT
ment, and rapid, painless cure will be
the result, if the patient, meanwhile,
lives exclusively on fruits, coarse bread
and other light, loosening diet.

To PRESERVE BREAD FOR Lone PERI
oDs.-Cut the bread into thin slices and
bake it in an oven, so as to render it
perfectly dry. In this condition it will
keep good for any length of time re-
quired, and without turning mouldy OF
sour, like ordinary bread. The bread
thus prepared must, however, be care
fully preserved from pressure, other
wise, owing to its brittleness, it will
soon fall to pieces. When required for
use it will only be necessary to dip the
bread for an instant into warm wafer,
and then hold it before the fire until
dry, after which butter it, when it will
taste like toast. This is useful way
Of preserving bread for sea voyages, and
also any bread that may too stale to be
