From east to west, from north TO south,
From lowly cot and stately hall.

The windows barred against the frost,
We toast the season, great and small.
A merry Christmas Hush-no breath

The spirit has passed out with Death.
The widow clasps her child, kiss
Is pressed upon its rosy face;
A choking sgl-a close embrace

"a Christmas party let us go !"
A wand'rer hopeless drops TO die
His brothers needless pass him by.
Half frozen in the freezing snow.
A merry Christmas What few
Remain Of those 1t welcomed last;
Another year has o or us pass'd
And left us, wife, the only two.
The childish laugh we held so dear,
The toys that made us once more Young,
The infant arms that round us chung,
Have vanish'd with the passing year. .nI

AHryr TO DYsPEPTICs.-We have seen dys-
peptics who suffered untold torrents with al
most every kind of food. No liquid could be ta-
ken without suffering; bread became burning
acid meat and milk were solid and liquid fires.
We have seen these same sufferers trying to
svoid food and drink, and then we have seen
their torments pass away, and their hunger re-
lieved by living upon the whites of eggs which
had been boiled in bubbling water for thirty
minutes. At the end of the week we have Civ
en- the hard yolk of the egg, with the white, and
upon this diet, without fluid of any kind, We
have seen them begin to gain flesh and strength
and refreshing sleep. After weeks of this treat
msnt they have been able, with care, to begin
upon food.-McdicdI Journal.

/ How TO RAISE MosQUTToEs.-As the mosquito
season is rapidly advancing. and the mode ofpro-
pagating them may not be known to most of our
citizens we propose to give few points for the
bsneft of all concerned. Get few barrels, half
barrels or tubs of half barrel capacity, fill with

ter from the caves gutter spouts, so much the
better for an early crop.-Raleigh Observer

In view of the rise in -four, it is interesting to
know how many loayes of bread of one pound
each, barrel of -four will make. The clerk of
tho market of Washington recently witnessed an
experiment made by a number of bakers. Six
different workers produced respectively go, 276,
26s, 262 25S, and 246 loaves. All of these were
on basis of 1876 pounds of -four to the barrel.
The quality of the bread produced depends
largely on the quality of the flour and the skill
of the baker. But in Washington the buyer gets
q full pound of bread for six cents. Each loaf is
stamped with the bakers name, and if q loaf is
short weight, he has to pay a round penalty.

To KEEP GREEN VEGETABLEs.-Green vegeta-
bles must be kept on damp stones, covered over
with damp cloth. Beet-roots, parsnips, carrots
and potatoes are best kept in dry sand during
the Winter. Never wash them until they are
wanted for use. Onions should be tied up in
punches, and hung up. Bury parsley in a jar
during the Winter, or dry it, by hanging it up
in o warm room.

WORTH KNOwING.-Every little while we
read of some one vino has stuck rusty nail in
his foot or some portion of his person, and lock-
jaw has resulted therefrom. All such wounds
can be healed without any fatal consequences
following them. The remedy is simple-it is on
ly to smoke the wound, or bruise that is inHam-
ed, with burned wool, or wooden CLOTH Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take pain out
of the worst case of Inflammation arising from a
wound we ever saw
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-06-07

ONE of the best remedies for neuralgia we
know of is the oil of peppermint, applied to the
afflicted part with a camel's hair brush. Do not
get it into your eyes, it would be pretty severe
nor yet allow child to find it, as it would act
o. q poison, taken internally. 1t will soothe
pain almost instantly, and a few applications
about the temples and the cords of the face, will,
we doubt not effect q cure.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-06-07

WHooPING CoUGH.-Use raw onions mashed
Put them in muslin sack and apply to the
throat and chest warm. Change them when
dry until the cough is loosened. Give syrup of
ipecac every day, and keep the patient in an
even Temperature. A relapse may be treated in
the same way. Mothers, do not forget this SIM
pie remedy, if you would save your child unneces-
sary suffering.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-06-07

CLEANING WAILs.-Walls that have been
whitewashed and need cleaning, can be much
improved in looks by passing soft brush broom
back and forth over the surface of the wall. To
down over the wall. Shake up the contents of
the bag occasionally, and remove the dust from
the bag by brushing with small brush broom.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR RHEUMATIsM-Bathe
the parts afflicted in water in which potatoes
have been boiled as hot as can be borne, just be-
fore going to bed by the next morning the pain
will be much relieved, if not removed. In acute
rheumatism, when there is much fever, the per-
sistent use of lemon juice for three days will
have the best effect. Lemon juice has also cured
other forms of rheumatism

UMBRKLLAs.-Ify your umbrella be wet, do not
unfurl it for the purpose of drying it more rap
idly. If yon do, the whalebones acquire a par
ticnlar set which it is almost impossible to obv-
ate they become permanently bent, in conse-
quence Of the shrinking Of the cloth while dry
ing, and give the umbrella, when furled, bung
ling and unseemly appearance.

Pressing Flowers.

The little schoolma am, o few days
ago, was showing the children how to
press flowers, and she passed around
two specimens, in perfect condition,
which were pressed last summer in her
fashion. Perhaps your Jack may as
well give you hint of 1t. Her plan Is
to take sheet of thin cotton-batting and
lay the flowers carefully on 1t, covering
them with another sheet, and then put
ting the whole under slight PRESSURE
Sometimes, when the flowers are thick
and contain good deal of moisture, she
puts them in fresh cotton the next day,
and after that she does not disturb them.
But in pressing nearly all the small
flowers the cotton need not be changed
at all,and not even opened until the
flowers are preserved. 1 noticed that
the little schoolma'am's pressed flowers
had soft, bright look. She groups the
long g-stemmed one prettily in vases, or
lays them between sheets of thin glass,
and hangs them in her windows, in the
winter, she says. They haven't at all
the look Of flowers prepared in other
ways. The little schoolma'am presses
green leaves and ribbon glass in the
same way, keeping their color perfectly
and she told the children that when they
wanted to pile number of these double
cotton layers together it was better to
lay sheet of blotting paper in between
the sets. Sometimes she lays tissue
paper between the flowers and the cotton,
but it is of the thinnest kind.-&.

Bread Reelpe.

A lady sent an exchange recipe for
bread making, which reads as follows:
In the evening / boil five or six
good sized potatoes, pour water and all
over saucerful of flour, stir with a
spoon until L can bear my hand in;
pour cold water enough in to make it
milkwarm. then put in teacupful
of liquid yeast, put my hand in and stir
and work it for twenty or thirty minutes;
cover up and set by the stove of some
place to keep warm all night. In the
morning it looks like soapsuds take
out tumblerful for next baking. You
understand that this is thin, and as
much as 1 want to make / thicken as
thick as batter and let it rise again. L
work it down twice, the third time use
no flour after mixing, but grease my
fingers and work it and put it in the
pans to rise for baking. When 1 want
to make extra white bread burn alum
and mash up tablespoonful and sprinkle
on the board with little flour and work
the dough in before putting in the pans,
but don't think it good for the health.

Snowflake Cake.

Take half cup of butter, two cups of
white sugar, four cups of -four, one cup
of sweet milk, three eggs, one teaspoon
ful of cream of tartar, and one-half of
that quantity of saleratus. Stir butter
and sugar together, add the beaten yolks
of eggs, and half the flour with the
creamof tartar in it; turn in nearly all
the milk, dissolve the saleratus in what
is left and add it. Beat the whites of
the eggs and mix in; stir in the remain
der of the flour. Bakein jelly-cake tins.
Crate the meat of two fresh cocoanuts
after pairing off the outer skin; add to
them one cup of sugar and the beaten
whites of two eggs. Spread between
the cakes, which should have been
baked in three pans. Heap the cocoanut
very high on the top of the uppermost
cake and scatter sugared almonds am ong
it.
