PULMONARY COSsUMPTIoN.-Profes

fully treating phtsisis, or pulmonary
Consumption, by mixing an incision
Though the wall ftae chest and draw
ing OF the pus with a syringe, and
after wards washing out the ulcers with
weak carbolic acid. No difficulties ap-
pear to have been experienced in the
operation, and the condition of the pa
tient was improved, the cough becom-
ing less troublesome, and the febrile
symptoms apparently moderated. One
point, at least, is regarded as settled
and it is certainly one of great impOr-
tance-so far As it could be by few ex-
periments of this character, namely, that
the local treatment of pulmonary cavi-
ties is undoubtedly practicable, and that
the lung is really more tolerant of ex-
ternal interference than has been gener-
ally believed. The uses of carbolic acid
are rapidly extending, and it bids fair
to become one of the most valuable
articles of the materia medica. 1t ap-
pears to be speedy death to diseased
germs and fungus growths.

A WHITEwAsH THAT WILL DO FOR
PAINT.-Slake half bushel of unslaked
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process. Strain it,
and add peck of salt dissolved in warm
water; three pounds of ground rice put
in boiling water, and boiled to a thin
paste; one-half pound of powdered
Spanish whiting, and pound of clear
glue, dissolved in warm water. Mix
these well together, and let the mixture
stand for. several days. Keep the wash
thus prepared in kettle or portable
furnace, and when used put it on as hot
as possible with either painters or
whitewash brushes.

The BEST OF SPONGE CAKEs.-One
pound of sugar, half pound of sifted
flour, grated rind and juice of one lemon
ten eggs, (some use the whites of II
eggs, and yolks of 81 Beat the yolks
as light as it is possible, then add the
sugar and lemon, and beat very hard !;
then add one-third of the whites-after
they are beaten until they stand alone.
Give all splendid beating now; add
one-third of the flour, then one-third of
the whites, alternating, until you get
all the whites and flour in. The mo-
ment the flour goes in you must cease
beating. and stir in the gentlest possible
manner; beating after the flour goes in
makes sponge cake heavy. 1t is much
better to have some one beating the
whites while you are beating the yolks,
so as to get it into the oven as quickly
as possible without standing. Bake one
hour.

The German washerwomen use a
mixture of two ounces turpentine and
one ounce spirits of ammonia, well
mixed together. This is put into a
bucket of warm water, in which one
half pound of soap has been dissolved.
The clothes are immersed for twenty
four hours and then washed. The
cleansing is said to be greatly quickened,
and two or three rinsings in cold water
remove the turpentine smell.

are better than a Government Bond /;
you can tear off a coupon every six
months, half as big as the bond, and

made a brief address to his pupils on
the necessity of obeying their teacher
and growing up loyal and useful citi-
zens. To emphasize the remark he
pointed to large national flag spread
on one side of the room and inquired
''Boys, what is that flag for?" a little
urchin, who understood the condition
of the house better than the speaker
very promptly answered, ''To hide the

SCIENTIFIC

An INGENIOUS Mechanism:-A most
;noenious device for cutting sugar
loayes has been introduced In England,
and which, in point of cleanliness,
nestness, and rapidity. would seem to
leave scarcely anything to De DESIRED
in these respects, for perfect execution.
This machine stands over four feet
b,oh- is over six feet long and about
three feet wide. At one end, on sort
of platform, a man is engaged in plac-
inc tbe loaf of sugar horizontally, with
its base pressing against the middle OF
tbe machine, where a circular saw,
worked by steam power. cuts the loaf
INTO slabs. These, being round of
course run by themselves on to pair
of rollers fitted with longitudinal
knives. between which they are cut in
to splinters or sticks. Instantly, these
are made to pass down an inclined
plane into grooves, and fall vertically
from q smaller pair of knife rollers in
to a hundredweight box prepared to
receive them. Thus treated, they are
ready for service. and, surrounded by
q blue paper lining, present an endless
variety of sparkling cubes, trlangles
and diamonds of most convenient size
and form for handling at the table.
On each side of the box is placed a
receiver, one for the fine pulverized
powder that falls from the saw, the
other for a more gritty substance that
comes from the knives. A more min
nte examination of the cut portion
shows, plainly enough. that, while four
sides Rlisten from the action of the
knife, only two bear evidence of the
marks of the saw, such a result being
the very reverse of that produced by
the French process. A whole loaf is
by this operation entirely cut up in
about two minutes. which is at the rate
of five hundred weight per hour.

POWER OF THE HANDs.-Many mothers
pass their lives in rearing their families,
giving medicine conscientiously, spar
ing no needful expense, and yet never
know what a power they are in them
selves. For instance, but few mothers
know that Group, taken in the first
stages, may often be removed by such
simple appliances as the mothers warm
hand, laid snugly at the throat and over
the lungs of the child, fatty, i'm the
form of a poultice, and acting quite as
effectually and quickly as any poultice
or liniment. This, with warm covering
of blankets, with the warmth of the
mothers body, has relieved cases where
children had taken little cold, with
out disturbing others, or the child
either. 1t is not well for child TO be
hurried out of bed when it begins that
croupy cough, often breathing cooler
air, which is always bad for that pecu-
liar disease. 1 only wish to say to
mothers, you know not what power
your own hands possess until you nave
tried them on pains and early symptoms
of Group. Those to whom these re-
marks are now addressed will De as
tonisbed at the result of these influences
upon the patient.
Ii is a shame that such blessed and
useful agent should be so abused as this
has sometimes been, by imposters,
claiming it was the power of some old
Indian doctor, or some other lOng-de-
ceased person, while the rubbing slowly
with the hands of friend over per-
son i'm distress produces almost magi-
cal effect. Perhaps we should not be
astonished that some are so supersti-
tious as to attribute this power To some
spirit agency, when they do not know
that almost every one could exercise
this faculty, il they would, on their sick
friends; but, nevertheless, am greatly
astonished when / see others, who in
other respects are intelligent, claiming
a supernatural agency for such appli-
ances. Of course the power is more or
less great, as the person or nurse pos
sesses more or less of magnetism, and Is
more or less soothing and sympathetic.
Try this, mothers, when the first cough
ing comes on, and many times you need
not take the child out of bed. Rub the
throat and lungs well, so as to produce
good circulation when you remove the
hand. Chronic pains of adults, in back,
side aud shoulders, are often greatly
relieved by the gentle rubbing with the
hand of friend, who should be little
careful not to have both hands touch
she invalid ut the same time; also to
oitsn brush, or shake off the electricity
IRON the hands while rubbing. If both
ma >toach the patient a circle il
I formed, whereby too much pain is con-
yeyed 10 the nurse.

at the factory in the morning is weighed
and strained through two thicknesses
of bandage cloth and kept constantly

Some weeds are so prolific in their
seed-bearing capacity that the ground
becomes full of the little gems, which
remain hidden in the earth for years,
to spring up and choke the growing
crops whenever the conditions are fav-
orable, To prevent this farmers should
not even allow such to grow along the
roadside.
