A CASE of severe burning of the
hand, the surface being almost cooked,
was treated by covering the hand
with white lead ground in oil, which
had the effect of relieving the excru-
tiating pain in five minutes time. The
applications were changed as soon as
hey became dry. On the fourth day
the surface commenced to slough; a
poultice of linseed meal and pulverized
charcoal was applied warm three
time daily then for three or four
days. A linen rag, creased, was next
used, and the hand healed rapidly with
out leaving a scar.

Prevention 9: Fire.

Keep matches in metal boxes, and out
OF the reach OF children; wax matches are
particularly dangerous, and should be
kept ont OF the way OF rats and mice. Be
careful in making fires with shayings
and other light kindlings. Do not de-
pOsit ashes in a wooden vessel, and be
sure that burning cinders are extin-
guished before they are deposited. Nev-
Ell put fire-wOod upon the stove TO dry.

near a fire or light. Do not leave a can.
die burning on bureau or chest. AL
ways be cautious about extinguishing
matches or other lighters before throw
ing them away. Never throw a cigar
stump upon the floor, or into a spitbox
containing saw6ust or trash, without
being certain that it contains no fire.
After blowing out a candle, never put
it away until sure that the snuff has gone
entirely out. A lighted candle ought not
TO be stuck up against frame wall, or
placed upon any portion of the wood
work in stable, mandatory, shop, or
any other place. Never enter barn or
stable at night with an uncovered light.
Never take an open light to examine a
gas,meter. Do not put gas or other
lights near curtains. Never take light
into closet. Do not read in bed, either
by candle or lamplight.
The principal register of furnace
should always be fastened open. Stove
pipes should be at least four inches from
wood work, and well guarded by tin or
zinc; rags ought never to be stuffed into
stove-pipe holes openings into chimney
fues for stovs-pipes which are not used
onght always to be securely protected
by metallic covering. Never close up a

How To SToP NosE BLEEpING.-There
are many remedies recommended, such
as putting large key down the patients
back, and SO on, bat the most eiIectual,
based on scientific principles, is 80 eli
iectual as TO be inlallibe. The entire
blood supply of the face comes from two
little arteries, each supplying one side
OF the face, and each passes oTer the out
side of the iAwbone, about two-thirds of
the way back from the chin to the angle
Of the Jaw under the ear. These arteries
can be found by the finger, and in the
case Of bleeding 1t the nose can be
pressed against the jaw bone, thus sto,
ping the flow OF blood from the nustris.
One Of the arteries supplies the right
nostril, and the other tie left. Il can
therefore be easily determined on which
side to apply the pressure. which should
be continued long enough 10 allow OF
construction III the finer arteries OF the
nose.

To PREVENT DANDRUFF.-This is a
natural secretion, but becomes a cutane-
GUS complaint by neglect. Take an
ounce ofpowdered borax, piece OF un-
Stacked lime the size of chestnut, and
a teaspoonful of spirits of ammonia, put
them into quart bottle and fill it with
boiled water or pump water. After
twelve hours apply this wash TO the
scalp. Ladies can apply this with a
sponge. Rinse with tepid wafer. After
a few applications the scales will disap-
pear, the hair becomes soft and brilliant.
and Young hair will be seen to start out.
Dandruff should be cured gradually, so
as not to produce sick headache or dizzi-
ness by its suppression.

DISH WASHING WITHOUT SoAP.-Ilave
your dishwater hot, and add very lit
tie milk, as this softeus the water, gives
the dishes nice gloss, and preserves
the hands. 1t removes the grease, even
that from beef, and yet no grease is ever
found floating on the water as when
soap is used. The stone vessels should
be set on store with a little water in
them when the victuals are taken from
them; thus, they are hot when one is
ready to wash them and the grease i,
easily removed. Tinware keeps bright
longer cleansed in this way than BY US
ing soap or by securing. The habit so
many have acquired of securing tins is
a wasteiul policy, as the present style of
unware will not bear il.

Remembrance,


Sweet a. the fragrance OF the lily's bloom,
Thy memory is tonight;
So sadly sweet, afnisf closures my eyes,
Dimming the evening light
Ny thoughts 60 backward TO the hours whenw we
Dreamed not Of parted WAYS:
But fondly hoped each others paths to cheer,
Through all the coming days.
/ know not why, nor whence the shadow came
That fell between our lives:
But | rejoiee that though so much is lost,
Thy memory survives.
! would not lose remembrance Of the face
That was TO me so fair;
Nor would l have one shadow rest thereon
OF SORROW, pain, or care.
Aud l am glad fate has not brought TO thee
lonely, loyeless life;
| would not have ii dark a mine has been,
And filed with care and strife.
l sometimes cherish half hope that we
shall somew here meet again:
And then within thine eyes ! would not see
one cloud Of grief or pain.
Sometimes dream hear thy voice once more
Calling me back TO thee;
And my sad heart thrills with its olG-time JOY,
As light winds move the sea.
And so through all the dark hours Of my life
keep thy memory green;
knowing that sfter desth. if not till then,
We two shall meet again.

KEEP TUE MmK-RooM CLEAN.-Milk
and cream are great ab-orbcnt~ OF the
gasses and fiayors that are floating in the
air. We have been in some Kitchens
where the milk was kept in winter for
the sake of warmth, AID W mere cabbage>,
turnips, &C., were daily boiled. Mix
kept under snch conditions must acquire
an unpleasant flavor, and must impart il
TO the butter. What is worse, the air OF
such Kitchens uniformly shows that the
casein of the milk has commenced lis
putrefactiye process, TO which it has
great tendency in its fluid state, the de-
composition doubtless bein. FASTENED
by the germs of decay which are con
stantly fioatin. in the atmosphere of

MATTRESSES AND BEpDISG.-The au-
tumn months afford a. favorable oppor-
tunities a any season of the year for
making and repairing mattresses and
putting the winter bedding in perfect
readiness for use. A clean, fresh mat
trass has far more weTmth in 1t, TO say
nothing of its wholesomeness, than one
that has been used long time, and
therefore for economical reasons, As well
as purely hygienic, it is advisable that
all mattresses be frequently and thor
oughly cleansed and renewed. The ticks
should be emptied of their contents. he
they hair, wool, moss or shucks. should
be washed. boiled and summed. aud thus
made sweet as when new. The hair and
wool will need beating, airing and sun
ming, TO cleanse it perfectly, and NAV lie
for days in the open air with profit. This
being done il il an easy task to return
the contents of the mattresses TO their
ticks and tack them with a mattrass
needle. In moss and shuck mattresses
there is a good of breaking and wasting
material, which settles in fine dust on
the lower side of the mattrass. This
waste should all be removed aud re-
placed with fresh material. Ii moss
cannot be procured shucks will answer
very well as q substitute.
