SHOCKED ENoUGH.-''Want shock
a shock, sir? Only costs you ten cents, !"
cried the electrical battery man on
Madison street this forenoon, 70 an
elderly gentleman
.sWhat's that you say:" demanded
the party addressed, eyeing the light
ming dispenser over his glasses.
"A shock, sir-only cost you ten cents,
sir-take one?"
''No, sir, don't want any," replied
the elderly man, gruffiy; u am too
much shocked already every time go
out in the street, and all for nothing,
too; the new tangled zebra stockings is
what does it."
And as the old eynie passed on, he
glared savagely at Il party of Young

ABOUT BOILING EGGs.-There is an
objection 10 the common way of boiling
eggs which people do not understand
Ii il this: The white under three min
utes rapid cooking becomes tough and
indigestible while the yolk il left soft.
When properly cooked eggs are done
evenly through like any other food.
This result may be attained by putting
the eggs into a dish with a cover as
tin pail and then pouring upon them
boiling water, two quarts or more 10
dozen eggs, and cover and set them
away from the stove for fifteen minutes.
Tne heat of the water cooks the eggs
slowly and evenly and sufficiently and
to q jelly-like consistency, leaving the
center or yolk harder than the white,
and the egg tastes as much richer and
nicer as fresh egg Is nicer than a stale
egg, and no person will want 10 eat
them boiled after having tried this
method once.

TEh-dtioR Of Plaster RaJJisL.-Gau-
din, Paris. patents method OF treating
plaster rubbish with carbonate of soda,
by which it is rendered fit for use over
again. Old plaster, even after It has
been burned, sets too quickly for use.
By calcining the rubbish and mixing 1t
with some saline solutions instead Of
pure water, this is prevented. Alkaline
solutions are best, and of these solu-
ton of carbonate of soda in water is
the cheapest. Plaster from old walls
and ceilings when thus treated sets at
the end of two or three hours, and has
all the properties of fresh plaster.

REMEDY FOR INsoNyIA--The simple

Frank Buckland has attracted eOn-idera-

novelty The fact that OpiaIes, in any
form, leave traces Of their influence the

prescribe for himself-as he has also
frequently prescribed for others
onions; simple common raw onions
The well known taste Of onions i due
to a peculiar essential oil contained in
them, and this oil has highly sopOrifie
powers, which, in his own ease, Mr.
Buekiand AYERS, never fails; if much
pressed with work, and feeling an ina
bility TO sleep, his practice is TO eat two
or three small onions, the effect Of
which is magical in producing the de-
sired repose. such remedy has great
advantage over the stupefying drugs
commonly resorted 10 for this purpose,
and is even preferable 20 the Liquor OPii

SIMPLE CURE FOR BOILs.-Dr. Simon,
physician of Lorraine, gives new
cure for boils namely, by treating them
with eamphorated alcohol. As soon as
the elimination point ofa boil makes its
appearance he puts little of the liquid
in a saucer, and, dipping the ends of his
little fingers in it, rubs the inhamed
surface, especially the central part, re-
peating the operation eight or ten times
for about half minute. He then allows
the surface to dry, placing over it a
slight coating of camphorated olive oil.
lie says that four such applications will,
i'm almost all cases, cause boils to dry up
and disappear, the operation to he per-
formed morning, noon and evening.
The announcement of so simple cure
for such a painful malady will bear
repetition.

Sehenek's Pulncnic syrup, Sea weed
T0nfc and Mandrake Pills.

Tonic o00 A0n0fok0 KllL0.
These deservedly celebrated and pop
ular medicines have effected a revolu-
tion in the healing art, and proved the
fallacy of several maxims which have
for many years obstructed the progress
of medical science. The false supposi-
ton that Consumption Is incurable"
deferred physicians from attempting TO
find remedies for that disease, and pa
tients afflicted with il reconciled them
selves to death without making an eff
fort to escape from a doom which they
supposed to be unavoidable. Ii is now
proved, however, that Consumption can
be cured, and that il has been cured in a
very great number of cases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and
in other cases by the same medicine in
connection with Schenek's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both,
according to the requirements of the
case.
DIR. Schenck himself, who enjoyed
uninterrupted good health, for more
than forty years, was supposed, at one
time to be at the very gate Of death, his
physicians having pronounced his case
hopeless, and abandoned him to his
fate. He was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used
DIR. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary to per-
sonally see DIR. Schenek unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his prin-
cipsl Office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists.

PAVING FARMYARDs. - For paving

ionable, because stock are liable to slip
on them and he injured. Flat stones,
not more than eighteen or twenty
inches square, however, can be EN-
ployed for this purpose, but even then
il Is better 10 alternate them with rows
Of cobble-stones. On heavy soil it is
desirable TO draw in a coating of fine
gravel, six or eight inches thick, in
which to set the stones, bringing them
all to level by excavating 20 let the
large ones down % that the upper sur
face Of all may be at an equal height
As they are set, they should have fine
gravel scattered over them TO fill up the
spaces between the stones and paver's
FOUNDER should be used to drive them
all down firmly, 20 as to leave an even
surface, sloping regular in accordance
with the designated grade towards the
centre Of the yard. A trowel is useful
in laying eobble stone pavement, in
order to bandily fit the stones into the
soil, that they may all be level on the
top, and a stretched line as a guide i a
great help for this purpose.

The ORCHARDS IN WINTER.-In the
orchard there will be something to do
as the snow storms follow each other.
The mice have been prolific breeders
this season, we are told. They will get
hungry after awhile, and unless the
snow is eompactly stamped down about
all kinds of young trees and shrubs,
there will be great danger of loss by
these yermin. Then the rabbits must
be trapped, shot, or in some way pre-
vented from accomplishing the same
mischief. As they make good food
when fried, boiled or stewed, it will pay
10 look after their runs and capture
them. Hung up and well frozen their
carcasses win keep for many days or
weeks. For a change from bacon, ham
chickens and other meats, they are by a
great many people highly esteemed.
Some are prejudiced against them,
likening them TO cats and woodchucks,

ton of the rabbit is vastly on the in
crease In the cities, and probably in the
