Hipthsrin.

Diptheria Is disease which springs
from the growth of a real fungus on
some Of the mucous surfaces of the
system, more generally Of the throat.
1t may be spread by contagion of the
mucous surface of a diseased with
those Of healthy person. as in kiss-
ing, and is to limited degresepidem-
&c. From the local parts affected, it
spreads to the whole body, affecting
the muscular and nervous systems,
vltiating the..iymph and nutrient flu
ids, and producing paralysis. AS
soon as the vacterium or fungus ap-
pears In white patches on the throat,
It should no more be neglected than a
bleeding cash, or a broken arm, and
there is almost as little need of a, fatal
termination of Que incident as OF the
other. 1t hiss been found by actual
experiment. both la and out of the hu-
man system, that this vacterium is
killed by several drugs. the safest and
most certain Of which Is chlorine wa
ter. This wash is harmless, even
when swallowed. and is pretty certain
to arrest the disease. A well known
physician in this city, who has pur-
. sued this treatment for fifteen years,
has found 1t effective almost without
exception, and has in that period Of
ten broke up the disease in localities
where 1t had ragged violently, and de-
fled treatment. Prior to its use, he
lost three cases out Of six, but has
since used 1t with scarcely a failure,
during the above mentioned period.
The recent great cyclopedia of Zien-
misen on the practice of medicine,
gives the highest place to this method
of treatment. To keep the patient
we'll housed. and warm, with addi-
tional flannel clothing. and to keep
the system we'll nourished, and the
bowels open, are matters often neg
lected, but, with care In these matters,
and early application Of the remedies
above suggested, there Is no need of
the disease proceeding to a fatal ter
mination, or even to the debiiitsting
illness, and painful cauterization
which go together in its later stages

Some Western Ranchmen.

During my trip hereabout. / have

are Professor Clarence King; Charles
Motley, nephew of the dead histori-
an; L. G. Briggs, son of Richard
Briggs. the Boston merchant; VIII
bur Raymond. who graduated from
Wesleyan University. class of 1874;
Galusha A. Grow, Jr. a nephew of
Sidney Dillon. and many others
whose names I might mention. Clar-

live in this world is to raise stock on
the Laramie plains during the

Best Kind of Poultry to Keep.

Tbis Is question Aften asked, but
without knowing some Of the circum-
tanees Of the inquirer. II is as hard TO
answer as would he the simple inter
rogation, What dog should 1 keep,
or what horse should / keep" The
various breeds of fowls have been
brought up to certain perfection to
meet the variaus conditions: how
much ia due to accident or design We
will not Sow discuss, but we do find
varieties fitted to different circum-
stances and uses. For instance, a man
who wants to raise fowls to kill for
market would not think of Hamburgs,
nor of the COchins for market eggs.
A large class of poultry keepers are
those who live In small towns. or sub
urbs of large ones. who wish to enjoy
the pleasures Of poultry society, and
10 have a few fresh laid eggs daily ;
this can be done with a few birds
which would consume the scraps from
the house with profit. TO suit such
conditions the Brshmas or Cochins
are highly fitted. being very quiet,
gentle dispositions. II well fed they
will be contented IN a very small
space, lay we'll through the winter,
and are good for the table at any time
ifin good candition; II not fat. they
can be made so in very short time, as
no fowls take on fat so readily. They
require but little fencing to keep them
in; feet high is sufficient. There are
other fowls that will bear confinement
toIerably well. Some are very hand
some-such as the Hamburg Spanish,
and Polsnds. Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks require a little more liberty.
Those that require still more liberty
or larger space are Games, Houdans.
allother French breeds. and Dorkings.
Here let me say Of all fowls. space or
care is the secret of health; that is.
the less space the more care. When
kept with full liberty, az on a farm,
little care is required with adult fowls
in summer; but as coon ss their liber-
ty Is curtailed. more change of food
and cleanliness must be given. Fol
a farm some of the best fowls for mar
ket are the Houdans. Dorkings anC

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

A REMEDY FOR CATARRH.-Dry

as you would tobacco, letting the
smoke escape through the nostrils in

best remedies for catarrh i'm the head.

CANCER CURE.-An old Indian doc

cure: Take common wood sorrel.

form Of poultice. aad apply rs long
as the patient can bear; then apply
bread and milk poultice until the pa
tient can bear the wood sorrel again |;
continue this until the cancer Is
drawn out by the roots.
Stramonium, known sise es James
town corrupted into jimson) weed, is
an effective remedy for snake bites,
and will cure them even some days
after they are inflicted. The weed
should be applied in the form of a
poultice. In the absence Of any 9TH
er remedy, cauterizing the part with
live coal is good especially for hors-
es and cattle.
ANOTHER BIG WHEAT STORY
The Vanceburg (Ky.) Courier has
seen a head ofAfricsn wheatin bloom
that is fourteen inches long and look
ed as If it would have made a pint OF
grain. 1t grows ten feet high. pro-
duces two crops from one stalk, and
will yield one hundred and fifty bush
els to the acre. The Courier thinks
it will revolutionize the wheat pro-
duct of this country.
CENTENNIAL BEsCUIT.-Make good
corn mush, just as If you were going
TO eat it with milk. When 1t Is luke
warm, take quart of It, work in flour
enough to make a stiff dough, make
into biscuit. put in your bake par. .and
set in a warm place over night; bake
in a very hot oven, and You have the
best and sweetest biscuit you ever ate
Eat while hot for breakfast.
WILD CRABAPPLE JELLY.-Wash
the fruit, and with a sharp knife re.
move the blossoms and stems; cover
with water and boil until soft; then
strain, add pound of sugar to each
pint of juice; boil Is or 20 minutes
This is very nice.

Hanging Baskets.

There is nothing more beautiful
among f]orsl ornaments for winter,
than a well-filled and cared for hang
ing basket, sueh a. many have been
accustomed to seeing only miserably
filled and more misersbly cared for.
Such persons cannot be blamed for
not having any particular liking for
them, for the really beautiful "hang-
ing garden" as 1t might be called, is
unknown TO them.
A great many suppose hanging
basket Is merely 6 small, round re-
ceptacle of some kind, filed with a
few common climbers and dropping
plants. These may be made quite
pretty, but the finest style Of hanging
haskell or garden. is made about as
long as the window is wide, and about
a foot wide, to be suspended so as to
be above the bottom sash. Any rough
box of the above dimensions made of
half inch boards, about five inches
deep, and coverd with pieces of birch
bark, nicely tackled on the sides and
bottom. makes a very tasty and pretty
appearance whed filled with plants.
The soil in a hang ng basket need not
he very rich, as a rank growth Is not
desirable, for tile rich plants would
soon sstgrow their proper space; soil
composed of rotten sods leaf mould
and a liberal dressing OF sand is the
best.
For climbing and dropping plants
select those Of claan healthy growth ;
for climbing nothing excels the Ger
