JOHN S. HEAD, Adjutant.

These are the days OF the sere and yellow
leaf, and many ladies are accustomed to pre-
serve quantity for use in wreaths and other
parlor decorations. The following timely adj
vice upon the subject is given by the Grand
Rapids Democrat;
When leaves are pressed under warm or hot
irons the color will certainly fade. The best
way is to gather the leaves from time to time
as they color favorably. and place them care
fully without touching each other, between the
leaves Of an old book, or between sheets Of
newspaper or botansts' preserving paper.
These latter should be laid upon a smooth
board, and another should be placed between
each layer OF leaves. When dry the leaves
should be dipped in the following preparation /:
Take cake wax, such as is used for flower
molding, and place 1t in saucer set the sau-
Ger in a soup plate with water in it, and set
this upon stove to melt the wax. When 1t Is
m cited add few drops of turpentine to make
it phi able. DIP the leaves in the liquid wax,
hold them to drain and cool, and lay them upon
spread newspapers for them to harden. The
atural appearance of the leaf will be preserv-
ed, and they may be bent into any desired
shape.

Few persons understand the import

proper way of applying them. A we'll

HerOisnl,

''Oh, DEAR" said Willie Grey, as he
sat down on the saw-horse and looked
at the kindling.wood which he ought
to have been splitting for his mother,
II do wish could do something for
the world. Some great action that
every one could admire, and that
would make the country and the whole
world better and happier. I wish I
could be hero, like Washington, or a
famous missionary, like Judson, but l
can't do anything, nor be anything.''
''Why do you want to be a hero 2
asked his cousin, John Maynard, who,
coming up just then happened to over
hear his soliloquy.
"Oh," said Willie, coloring. "every
one admires hero, and talks about
him, and praises him after he is
dead -
''That's the idea, is it q said John.
"You want to be hero for the sake
of being talked about
Willie did not exactly like this way
of putting it.
mot only that, but 1 want to- do
good to people-convert the heathen-
or-save a sinking ship, or save the
country, or something like that
''That sounds better; but believe
me, Willie, the greatest heroes have
been men who have thought least
about themselves and more about their
work, and SO far as I can recollect
now, the great mean according to
the Christian standard-have always
begun by doing the nearest duty, how.

And here John took up the ak and
began to split the kindllng. wood.
Willie jumped off the saw-horse, land
began to pick up the sticks without
saying word; but, though he said
nothing, he thought the more. .
"I've wasted lots of time thinking
what great things I might do, if I only
had the chance" he thought; ''and
I've neglected the things I could and
ought to do, and made a lot of trouble
for mother. guess I'd better begin
my heroism by fighting my own lazi

Treatment of Canary Birds.

l saw in your paper of two weeks
ago an inquiry how to restore the song
of canary birds. Tho following has
been my experience. A friend of mine
gave me bird that had not sung for
over a year. I treated it as follows

"human birds" must have variety in
their food. I put in one seed cup oat

good fresh lettuce seed, say 20 or 30
seeds daily, not too much or it will
make the bird drunk and dumpish.
Hang also in the cage a nice piece of
salt pork as we'll as good cutie bone.
After treating the bird in this way, for
three or four weeks, procured another
canary. a fine free songster, and hung
it in the hearing but out of sight of my
bird, and in very short time 1 had us
good singer as could wish. He has
sung ever since, through melting and
all. Most people are afraid of getting
their birds in too good condition, but
remember you must not get them fat

WOmen's Clothing.

The London Examiner reads the
women a lecture on clothing which
we dOubt if they will heed, still the
truths told are, nevertheless, peril
nent. =
OF late there have been many signs
that women are at last becoming alive
to the strong control of clothes upon
their fate. From time to time we hear
of revolutionary institutions to free
them from tho weight of ruchings and
burst for them the letters of Valen-
ciennes and ribbons. Now it is band
of sedate English women who have
pledged themselves to a convenient. if
doleful livery of perpetual black now
it is the patriotic and contrite ladies
of Prussia who, under Imperial pa.
tronage, swear resistance to their too
fondly obeyed tyrants and natural foes,
the milliners of Paris ; now it is a fiery
squadron of American Amazons who
are enrolling themselves to do battle
with the hostile world for health, hap
piness and trousers
We all find food for mirth in such
associations, for we are agreed that
dress is a trifle, and the idea of an as.
ISOLATION at all about such an indiffer-
ent matter, reminds us of the famous
tempest in a teacup-and when trous-
ers get into the discussion we laugh
still more, because it is understood
that the mere name of trousers is
capital joke. Yet, after all. there is
something to be said for the women
who "agitate'' about their clothes
There is no doubt that the dress of
Western women is cumbrous and, by
it's weight and the impeachment it puts
in the way of active exercise, a bond
age there is no doubt that it is unduly
expensive, and there is no doubt that
it sins nearly as often and as much
against artistic, as against hygienic
fitness. Raiment better adapted to

ers /; and no scattered missionaries,
though looking never SO comfortable
and never so picturesque, could entice
the female multitude to initiate their
venture. If ever material altera-
ton is effected it must be by the union
of many. Here is difficulty at the
threshold, for such union could i'll be
achieved except by the efforts of an
association, and in such a cause the
very name OF association is hind
rance, suggesting suicidal parade and
publicity over a reform in which of all
others, an unobstrusive modesty would
be essential.
Supposing that difficulty disposed of,
the fatal difficulty is reached: What
should the dress be ? There is an old
round which runs, ''Let us be merry in
our old clothes for we shall never get
new" For want of the perfect dress
to which fairly representative wo-
mans parliament could be got to agree,
the sufferers under too much skirt will
have a good many years yet in which

Oiphtheria And Its Cure.


During the prevalence of Diphtheria
| every remedy however simple or like
| ly to be eflicacions, is sought with
with eagerness by the masses, and we
cannot blame them so long as many of
our physicians*of good standing in the
community seem to be utterly power
less in staying this fearful disease,
consequently we give the following
remedies which lately appeared in the
Western Farm Journal, hoping that
they may prove to be of value, should
any one of our readers be so unfortu-
nate as to have occasion to use them.
A small quantity of either sulphate
of iron, tannin, or chlorate of potash,
put dry upon the tongue, and allowed
to dissolve there, once in every hour,
have all been found to be most efficient
remedies in the early stages of diphthe-
ria. This terrible disease appears
under three varieties or forms: First,
there is a fever, severe pain in the
back, bones and limbs, and very great
prostration. There may be no sore
ness of the throat, but on examining
it, small white specks will be noticed
on the tonsils, but few or none on the
rest of the throat. These cases will
recover under any and every variety
of treatment in four to six days. The
great, but false, reputation of many
remedies and physicians is based upon
the necessarily favorable results of
these cases. Second. Large patches
of false membrane will be observed
both on the tonsils and back of the
throat ; but the glands of the neck do
not become swollen.
The majority OF these cases will also
recover, under very simple treatment,
unless the disease extends down to the
windpipe, which it rarely does.
Third. True malignant diphtheria,
with swelling of the glands of the
neck and under the jaw; profuse and
often offensive exudations in the
mouth and throat ; more or less dis.
charge from the nostrils. Chlorate of
potash is a disinfectant as we'll as
curative remedy, and if given pure
and dry upon the tongue every hour,
night and day, will rarely disappoint
the practitioner. A small dose every
night may act as a preventive remedy.
Sometimes tannin may be given more
-
The sulphate Of iron is rather more ir-
ritant, and must be given in smaller
quantities. The main points in the
use of these remedies are to give them
dry upon the tongue, and frequently
and regularly both night and day.

Teaching the Baby.

You must take your baby just where
he is now, not much more than little
animal, and educate his physical nat.
ure, so rapidly developing. For in.
stance, he has just reached the climb.
ing age: every chair and stool is a
worry to you, and a pair of stairs is a
perpetual terror. Now show him to
get up and down the stairs, how to
place his feetin climbing up into chairs.
Let him tumble a lit le; it will only
make him more careful. 1t is but a
foretaste of the hard schooling which
experience gives us all our lives. Bet
ter a little fall with you close by to
stop it at the right place, than a great
one when you are "off guard " some
day. Remember that too, when he is
in his teens.) But, beg of you, if
you want to see him grow up active,
strong-limbed and agile, do not keep
his white dresses too clean, nor tie his
sashes after the present uncomfortable
fashion, SO that he isn't conscious of
any legs above his knees. Then, let
him feed himself. He'll make a mis-
cradle mess of it at first, but protect
him we'll with bib and tin tray, and
he'll soon teach his spoon the way to
his mouth. Let him burn his fingers
a little some day when the stove is not
very hot; he wont touch it when it
would be dangerous.
