The Overland DsRtkly tells how the Mornons
manage to get along without grecnbacks
Hundreds of farmers, living in reasonably
comfortable circumstances, and have large fam-
lies to clOthe and educate, will not dollar
in money for years. Such a farmer wishes to
purchase pair of shoes for his wife. He con-
sults the shoemaker, who AYERS his willingness
to furnish the same for load of woo,. He
has no wood. but sells calf for a quantity of
ddOJes- the ddObes for order on the merchant,
payable in goods, and the order for load of
wood, and straightway the matruI is shUd. Sew
ell wateTmelons purchase a ticket of admission
to the theatre. He pays for the tuition of his
children seventy-fve eabbages per quarter. The
dressmaker receives for her services fonr squash
es per day. He settles his church dues in sor-
ghnm molasses. Two loads of pumpkins pay his
annual subscription to the newspaper. He buys
a Treatise on Celestial Marriage for load of
gravel, and hottie of soothing syrup for the
baby for bushel of string beans. In this prim-
tive method, until the advent of the railroad,
nine-tenths of the business of the Territory was
conducted. And even now, in the more remote
settlements, majority of all transactions are of
this character.

Health and sometimes life itself is often lost by
fiannels aside in the spring is most perniciOus
practice. They are as necessary in July as In
January. We can better do without woolens
next the skin in midwinter than in midsummer.
We do not get oyerheated in winter; we do in
summer; and the most frequent exciting cause
of coughs, colds and consumption is a rapid fall
ing of the temperature of the body. All are
familiar with the fact that sudden checking of
perspiration is always dangerous; very little ex-
ercise causes US to perspire in summer, and a
very slight draught of air checks the perspira-
ton; hence, eminent French physicians have
stated, after a long series of observations, that
colds taken in summer excite the most incura-
BILE forms of consumption. White wooden flannel
is most efficient guard against these sudden
changes, because it keeps the heat of the body
in, while it repels the excessive heat from with
out; 1t conveys the water Of preparation to its
outside, while the surface next the skin in drier
We all know that silk, cotton, and linen next the
skin get saturated with water, and if, for an in
stant the slightest draft of air gets between the
skin and the material, there is charnellike chill
when that material touches the skin.
The rule should be to wear white wooden fan
mel next the skin all the year round; thick in
winter, little thinner in April; game mater
ial on the first day of July; on the first day of
October resume what was laid aside in July; on
the first of December put on the thckest, extend
ing to ankles and wrists.
These rules of change are especially necessary
to old peOble to all invalids and young children ;
day lab0rers and all outdoor workers would be
incidentally benefited by the same observances.

Funerals in 1776, says Edward Abbott, tonch-
ed weddings at the point of feasting, and were
often very expensive, snowy, aud pompons occa-
sions. In some parts of the country. especially
among the Dutch of Long Island and New York,
il was the custom of young man to lay by his
earnings after coming of age, until a sufficient
sum had accumulated TO provide for him ''re-
spectacle" funeral when he shonld come to die.
Outlines the young bargher wonld reserve half
of the portion of wine which he had literally
laid in for his marriage to be used at the funeral
of himself or his wife sPecial. invitations were
sent ont for funerals as for parties. The clergy
man, pail bearers and physicians attending, were
provided with scarfs and gloves, and sometimes
each with mourning ring; while the feast
which followed the interment, at the house Of
the deceased, elaborate with cold roast meats,
wines, liquors and pipes, was not unfrequently
an occasion of coarse excess, sometimes descend
ing into hilarious and noisy demonstrations. A
respectable" funeral of this description, might
cost perhaps thousand dollars while the fu-
neral of the first wife Of Stephen Van Rensselaer,
is said to have cost not less than twenty thous-
and dollars.

The Use Of Well Water in the Cities.

The State Geologist of New Jersey, in his re-
cent report calls attention to the habit, still in
use in some of the older cities of New Jersey, of
people drawing their supply of water from old
wells. In an analysis of the water coming from
some nine wells in Princeton, five of them were
found to contain free ammonia, albuminOus mat
ter, and chlorides in excess. In tracing the eff
feets of these waters, it was found in almost all
cases that diarrhea and typhOidal feyers accom-
panied their use. 1t is almost impossible to be
sure of the good quality of any well which is
surrounded by houses, where drains and sink
empty into the surrounding soil. 1t would be
well if the proprieiors of larg country hotels and
summer resorts would not only look more closely
to their sources of water, but eschew well water
entirely. For the health of their guests, it is
better, in all cases where running water does not
exist, to seek their source of water from cistems
which are fed from the rainfall on the roofs.

Coffee a. a Disinfectnut.

As the sickly season approaches, everything
that can be available will be used to ward off
diseases and epidcmics, and coffee is TINS recon-
mended:-
Roasted coffee is one of the most powerful
means, not only of rendering animal and vegeta-
BILE efliuvia inocuous, but of actually destroying
them. A room in which meat in an advanced
State of decomposition had been kept for some
time, was instantly deprived of all smell by an
open rooster being carried through it containing
a pound of coffee newly roasted. In another
room the effiuvia occasioned by the cleaning out
of cesspool, so that sulphurated hydrogen and
ammonia could be clearly detected, was COM
pletely removed within half a minute on the en-
ployment of three ounces of fresh coffee. The
best mode of using it as a disinfectant is to dry
the raw bean, pound it in a mortar, and then
roast the powder a moderately heated iron
plate, until it assumes dark brown hue, when
it is ready for use. 1t must, however, be remem-
bered that the coffee, to be effectual, should be
perfectly pure.

A Sure Cure for RoiIs.

DIR. Simon, physician of Lorraine, states that,
as the characteristic elimination point
of boil makes its appearance, he puts in a saucer
a thimbleful of camphorated alcohol, and, dip
ping the ends of his middle fingers with the liquid,
rubs the infamed surface, especially the central
portion, repeating the operation eight OF ten
times, continuing the rubbing at each time for
about half n minute. He then allows the sur
face to dry, placing slight coating of camphor-
ated olive oil over the inaamed surface. He
states one such application will, in most all cases,
cause boils 10 dry up and disappear. The appli-
cation shoafd 10 BsSfe morning, noon and in the
evening. He AYERS that the same treatment will
cure whitlows, and all injuries of the tips of fin
gers. As soon as pain and redness appear, the
fingers should be soaked for ten minutes in cam
phOrated sweet oil. The relief is said to be i'm
mediate, and three applications are generally
enough to effect n cure
