PRACTICAL REsUsCITATION.
How the Dead Nay be Brought to- Life.
An Interesting Essay by Drs Thomas
Nicholson on the Possibility of
Rescuing the Dyings

Revivifcatioh, or bringing the dead to life
again, is most startling and apparently a
most incredible. statement OF course such a
marvellous restoration can only take place
when no function essential to life has been
disorganized and destroyed. In death, &C.
CordiDg to the common meaning of the term,
there is total suspension Of respiration, the
action Of the heart and all the animal func-
lions. shall demonstrate. beyond doubt, that
teraise the dead under the condition noted
above, is sometimes simple process, rea.
sonable expectation, and based upon a new
theory Of the course Of the hearts action and
the consequent circulation of the blood.
Many fellow.creature mas gone To the
tomb who might have been rescued from his
iDsensate grasp; and because of this fact
there has been no positive habit to make an
sffoyt 20 restore persons TO lite where such
gestoration may be possible from the circum-
stances of death. Unreasoning prejudice has
set his wrinkled front and stole heart against
Il. Yhe monstrous grasp of this bloated ty-
SAINT Of tyrants, however, is relaxing his iron
hold as che laws Of science and positive
knowledge becope more and more lumi-
nous. Attempts at eevivifcation have not
emily been CONTEMPORARY laughed at but il
Gas been regarded as high-handed sacrilege
and tamperine with the dead. But now
Cow does she Case stand? Nearly all civil
jzed nations have succeeded in establishing
societies FOG the gesuscitaton Of drowned
persons.
The directions for the restoration OF such
persons to life have been reduced almost to
an exact science; the lungs are inflated. the
peart Begins to- beat, the blood to circulate.
and, as in the palace OF the Sleeping Beauty,
oil was vivid activity, where moment before

A New Way to DO 1t.

The Reading Pennsylvania Eagle says:
ut is none of the worlds business who
the lady is, or in what part of the country
b resides. The facts are sufficient to
show how q lady, vulgarly called Az old
maid, got a husband, and that may
prove himself worthy of her. Six
months ago q tramp came to q Berks
county farm house and asked the
daughter for food, and it was given to
him. He vas considerably. worse for
wear, yet his modest demeanor and gen.
tlemanly bearing attracted the attention
of the family. He was given work on
the farm, and shortly became q favorite.
He was sober, industrious, genteel, and
intelligent. Gradually the daughter
took . liking to him, and she loaned
him money from her wi purse to pur-
chase clothing with. She encouraged
him to keep himself we'll dressed, and in
. short time the farmer saw that his man
of all work had suddenly become . fine
looking and earnest sutton for his
daughters land in marriage. 1t va at

FARM, ORCHARD AND HOUSEHOLD
The MIX Cure.

Cons derable has been said in medical
journals concerning the value Of milk
as a remedial agent in certain diseases.
An interesting article upon the subject
lately appeared in the London Mix
Journal, IN which il is stated, on the
authority Of DIR. Benjamin Clark, that
in the East Indies warm milk is used to
q great extent AS a specific for diarrhea,
but only heated sufficiently 70 be agree
ably warm-not too hot TO drink. Milk
which has been boiled is not 1T for use.
The writer gives several instances of the
value Of this simple substance in arrest
ing this disease. Another writer in the
same journal says: 1--WE have also tested
the value of milk in scarlet fever, and
learn that it is recommended by the
medical faculty in this often very dis
tressing children's disease. Give all the
milk the patient will take, even during
the period of the greatest fever. II
keeps up the strength of the patient,
acts we'll upon the stomach, and is, in
every way, blessed thing in this sick

milk pays for the trouble of milking,
that depends upon the number Of COWS,
and the amount required for family use

Money and Produce AarketA

The Chicago Tribune of Dec. e2d,
las the following summary Of the con.
dition of the money and produce mar
ksts in that city:
The general condition Of the local
finances was quiet, though strong. The
combined demand from the country and
the packers for loans makes the market
firm and rates strong, though not hard.
The combination to hold back wheat and
stock from market remains unbroken,
and its financial effects here are seen in
the large volume of loans applied for ON
country account. Loans made thirty
and sixty days ago are renexyd when
they fall due, instead of being paid. and
the greatest share of the daily discount
operations of the banks is with their
country correspondents. The packers
are making their paper in gradually in
creasiDg quantities. 1t ia regarded as
choice, and taken by the banks st ia.
vorable rates. The mercantile demand
is light; small accommodations are
sought for to make annual settlements,
and to make good the failure of col.
lections, which have been somewhat i'm
peded by the weather and the condition
of the country roads. Manufacturers
and railroad paper is also in the market,
the latter for the purchase Of supplies,
but 1t is not in large amounts.
Rates of discount are SOLO per cen
at the banks to regular customers. There
is very little surplus at the command OF
Independent borrowers, but who bave
good security can get inside rates for
short loans.
On the street there is only a moderate
volume of busiacss. Ratcs are 6@1S
per cent.
New York exchange was weak, and
sold between banks at 75@t1.00 dis
count between banks.
The Chicago produce markets were
more animated yesterday. Mess pork
was in good demand and q shade firmer,
closing at SO O5 cash and t19 400

and firm, closing at Sc % per 100 Lbs
cash and e1a 42K@l2 As for February.
Meats were more .active and firm ct ~

How TO Sow Small Seeds With Success.

Novices in Horticulture make frequent
failures with minute seeds, like those of
the lobelia, the mimulus and the calceo.
laria, and even experienced florists do
not always succeed with every sowing,
as such seeds are very delicate, and per
inmate only under the most favorable
conditions. Have the soil in the O
pan or box e shallow pot is best, COM
posed OF leaf mold and clean sand, two
parts OF the former to one of the latter.
sifted, or otherwise made very fine.
Make the surface ever and smooth, and
press lightly; then sprinkle i. by hold
ing a wet brush over II, and drawing the
hands over it 80 As to throw q fine spray
upon the soil. On this prepared surface
SOW the seed, and scatter over it the
slightest possible s~prinkling of fine
clean sand. Now cover the pot or box
with a pane Of glass, and keep it in the
shade, watering, when necessary, with
the spray from a brush, as before d.
rected. The soil must not be permitted
to get dry, moi must i: ever be deluced
with water. If the seeds be sown, as is
generally the case, on a loose surface.
and then watered from a watering Dot.
they are mostly carried down with the
water so deep into the soil tina, II ia i'm.

USEFUL RECIPES.

BAKED INDIAN PUDDING Scsld q
quart Of milk, and while boiling thic ken
it with a pint of corn meal, remove from
the fire, thin with cold milk 10 the con-
sistency Of batter, add two well beaten
eggs, n cup OF ~raisins, sugar 10 taste, q
h'tie salt, cinnamon or nutmeg, and
bake two or three hours IN a moderate
oven.
To KEEP THE HLm PROM F.LLrS.
oUT.-Wash the head every week in sal,
water, and rub the skin Of the head with
a dry coarse towel. Then apply n dres.-
ing composed Of bay rum and swce, oil,
with which few drops Of tinc,urc Of
canthasides have been mingled. This
will stimulate the skin, and keep the
hair from falling out and turning gray.
The dressing for the hair may be scented
with cinnamon oil or some such warming
substance.
To Cook POULTRY. All kind. of
poultry can be cooked quicker by adding
to the water in which they are boiled a
little vinegar or n piece Of lemon. By
the use of a little scid there will lie a
considerable saving Of fuel, As we'll as
shortening of time. Its sc;ion is bene
icisl on old. tough meats, rendering
them quite tender md easy Of digestion.
Tainta'i mea aud fowls will lose their
bad taste and odor if cooked In this way.
and If not used too freely no taste OF !.
will be acquired.
CoRS STARCH CAKE.-This 10 q simple
and digestible cake. easily and quickly
made, and generally liked. Rub we'll
together n cup of butter and two cups
Of sugar. Add the white OF six Eggs
beaten to 8 f1oth. Stir in q cup Of
sweet milk, two cups of -four In which
have been thoroughly mixed two tea
spoonsful Of baking powder or two of
Cream Of tartar AID one Of soda. aDi

bitter almonds Tor other flavor dr.,r-iJ
Lastly, stir In one cup Of corn starch,
which acts both as food AID shortening.
Immediately bake ia a mod,ra.eiy quick
oven.
Best FRosTrsS.- Many cooks are
tIoubled TO make good fros,ing tina, will
adhere 10 the cake and not crumble 10
pieces when cut. To all such I wish To
recommend the following simple method.
1t takes but few minutes . make the
frostirg, and It is always good. Il q,
much better than to beat the eggs 10 .
froth: 70, a large cake use . pound
Of pulverized sugar, rolled or sifsed 10
free it from Jumps, and the whites Of
two eggs. Sometimes the fros.inz stiff
ems up so that ! do not use quite all the
sugar. Sir the sugar gradually into the
whites; when nearly stiff enoush,squesze
in the juice Of half . lemon: when ali
the sugar is IN that Is required, give it
good stirring; pat the frossing in the
centre Of the loaf or cake, dip broad
blsded knife in water, and spread the
frosting, dipping the knife in vss<r ofssx
to prevent sticking: when spread, pct
the cake on the stove hearth or under he
