THE unsatisfactory light frequently given by
kerosene lamps is due in many cases to the con-
dtion of the wick. The filtering of several
quarts of oil through a wick, which catches every
particle of dust in it, must necessarily obstruct
the pores of the wick. Consequently, although
a wick may be long enough to last some time, its
conducting power may be so impaired that a
good light cannot be obtained.

The saIphsric Acid Cure For Diph, heria.

The Hamilton Spectator (SOuth Australia) pub
fishes details of the "Greatheady-cur for diph-
iberia. The disease is declared by Mr.. Great
head to be of hydated growth, and that the
germs of it floating about IN certain impure at
mospheres were inhaled by human beings. For
grown person four drops of sulphuric acid di-
luted in three-quarters of tumbler of water;
with a smaller dose for children. The effect of
this treatment was said to he instantaneous; the
acid at once destroying the parasites and
the patient coughing up the distractions.
The papers have teemed with accounts of snf-
ferers who had recovered in few minutes by
adopting the "Greathead" treatment. Children,
almost previously in dying state, were declared
to be playing about within ten minutes; and at
a moderate computation some forty or fifty of
these sudden recoveries have been placed on rec
ord with full particulars.

SPINAL NleuinSiii..

This dreadful disease has been treated success
fully by well-known physician in Alabama, in
the following manner:
In the first place discard all ideas of this dis
ease being an infammatory affection of the brain
and spinal cord, -saturate q flannel (fulded sew
eral times) with spirits of turpentine. Appl Y
this along the whole of the spiue pass over
this after the ordinary mode of ironing, a COM
mon sad or smoothing iron, well heated. Con-
Time this for ten or fifteen minutes, until you
have well stimulated the spine. In the mean
time, give quinine in heroic doses, to be repeated
every two or three hours until all symptoms
have been overcome. Follow each dose of qui-
nine with heroic dose of bromide of potassium,
combined in solution with au ordinary dose of
hyoscamus. The object Of the bromine is to con-
troll reflex action, and the doses should be regu-
lated to the head and spinal symptoms as this is
dependent on electro monte changes in the per-
iphery of the nerves; from this the action or the
modHs operandi of the qunine and bromide will
be readily understood by the intelligent physi-
can. Under no circumstance use fly blister or
opiates; in the outset of this disease, avoid all
cold applications to the head and spine. When
constipation exists, which is generally the case,
use large doses of calomel every three hours, I'M
til the bowels act freely. Physicians can rely on
this treatment instituted, in tme.-WesterR Rural.

KEEPING MICE OUT.-Mouse holes in walls and
closets should be first filed with lime and after
ward pasted over with plaster of Paris mixed
with water. 1t is a good plan to keep paper of
the latter in every house, as it is useful in filling
cracks, and, in fact, comes in many other ways
into household economy.

AN ITEM FOR LADIEs.-Amongt the best of those
old-fashOned plants easy to grow in sunshine or
shade, there is nothing good as the various va
rieties of English evergreen ivy. As usually
seen in pots street corners, pretty they are,
they give no idea of the great beauty which n
plant of several years old presents. We have
seen some grow in moderate sized tubs six or
seven feet high, and trained over wires so as to
make backs for seats, or even little arbor like
coverings or alcOves, admirable for standing in
wide entries or halls. They may be trained up
in pots high enough and thick enough to cover
window frames entirely, not only up the sides,
but round and over tops, making what is usual
ly dreary room look like living bower, or a
room adorned by the highest art look all the
loveler for this incursion of beautiful nature on
her especial domain.-Germantoua Telegraph.

CARE OF THE FEET.-Concerning this subject
the Scientific american very truly says: Many are
careless in the keeping of the feet. If they wash
them once week they think they are doing
WELL They do not consider that the largest
pores are located in the bottom of the foot, and
that the most offensive matter is discharged
through the pores. They wear stockingugs from
the beginning to the end of the week without
change, which become perfectly saturated with
offensive matter. Ill health is generated by such
treatment of the feet. The pores are not only
repellants but absorbents, and fetid matter, to a
greater less extent, is taken back into the sys-
TEN. The feet should be washed every day with
pure water only, as well as the armpits, from
which an offensive odor is also emitted, unless
daily ablution is practiced Stockings should
not be worn more than day or two at time.
They may be worn one day, and then aired and
summed and worn another day if necessary.

One Of those cases important to people operat-

Pickering, OF Buffalo, against E. d. Randolph Co,
OF this city, to recover $o4al %. tho balance OF
eS,47s OF, the amount in litigation being claimed by
the plaintiff the ground that IL over and above
per interest covered by carrying
800 shares OF American Express stock placed by plain
tn with defendants for speculation pending the panic
of1s7s and during periods the Chicago and Boston
rcs In 1872 1878 the defendants charged in their
accounts IT tho time l32 per day. Ut others la and
occasion high as per day, on each occasion
bong required TO do by the state OF the money mar
kst Tho difference claimed Is the difference between
seven per cent and those charges.
The plaintiff called Mr. Randolph, who testified that
he had himself lent any money whatever 10 carry
plaintiffs stock, but had borrowed the money ncccs-
sary to carry his customers stocks from other parties
and had paid the market rates for the money pledgng
his customers stocks and sometimes the firms bonds;
he simply aggregated tho price OF the loans and
charged average each OF the customers. and had
paid even 1882 day interest The case was dismissed
by Judge Dykman without being allowed 10 60 TO the
jury, the plaintiffs letters, produced court,
showing that he thanked tho defendants for charging
much lower than expected Tho Court held that
on the evidence for plaintiff the defendants simply
charged what they had been compelled 70 pay for the
money to carry those stocks and therefore, the case
must be dismissed.
