The Use of Milk.

DIR. Crosby, of the Bellevue Hospital,
pronounces milk an article of diet which
all persons may use, under nearly all
conditions. There are those who say
they cannot take milk, that it makes
them bilious, ETC., but he declares that
this is not true. A person who is sick
may take milk with the greatest posi-
BILE advantage, because it contains in a
form easy of assimilation all the ele-
ments essential for maintaining nutri
ton. 1t is the natural aliment of the
young animal, and certainly answers a
good purpose for the old animal, pro-
vided it is used properly, and not pour
ed into a stomach already over filled,
as though it had in itself no substance
or richness. New milk, he does not
hesitate to say, may be taken, as far as
disease is concerned, in nearly every
condition.
Perhaps it will require the addition
of spoonful or two of lime water. The
addition of a little salt will often pre-
vent the afterfeeling of fulness and
"wind in the stomach" which some
complain of. If marked acidity of the
stomach is present, then perhaps lit
tie gentian may be requisite to slim
ulate the stomach somewhat; and it
may be necessary to give it in small
quantities and repeat it often; but ice
cold milk can be put into a very irri-
table stomach, if given In small quanti-
ties and at short intervals. with the
happiest effects. 1t is used in cases of
fever, which formerly it was thought to
''feed," and when scalded it has de-
sirable effect in summer complaints.
But it is us an article of diet for people
in health, and who wish to remain in
that happy condition, that milk should
be most appreciated. For the midday
lunch of those whose hearty meal comes
at night, or for the supper of those who
dine at noon, nothing is so good. The
great variety and excellent quality OF
prepared cereals give wide choice OF
food to use with milk. Bread with
berries, in their season, or baked sweet
apples,) boiled rice, cracked wheat,
oatmeal, hulled corn, or hominy, taken
with generous bowl of pure cold milk
makes the best possible light meal in
warm weather for children, and for all
adults who have not some positive
physical idiosyncracy that prevents
them from digesting it. The men OF
firmest health and longest life are the
men of regular and simple habits, and
milk is a standard article in such diet

Mental Strain,

Parents and teachers who are raising
precOciOus children will do well to heed
the following from the Agriculturist:

cation here without an earnest word of

The Care of Horses.

How quick horse becomes dilapida-
ted and demOralized after it comes into
the possession of some people. 1t makes
no difference how young nor how nice
they are when they get them, they all
look alike in less than two years, and
always have that discouraged, destroyed
appearance. l have seen men who
claimed to have great judgment, whom
we looked upon as wise, prudent and
shTewd in business, that did not seem
to have any idea of what treatment and
care horse required. If l had a boy
ten years old, that was not more capa-
BILE and reasonable about such things
than many people, l should think he
was hopeless idiot.
Many seem to think horse can en-
dure everything, go without feed all
day and half the night, and be off on a
journey in bad travelling, time after
time. When they get home they put
them into an old dark dirty pen, throw
in forkful of hay, the first they come
to, and let them Grip" They never
rub or clean them, and never take any
pains to protect them from cold OF
dampness. They overload them re-
peatedly, compel them to labor "under
difficulties" when in no condition to
labor. How many young, stylish horses
have we seen all drawn out of shape
and all sagged down, their back six
inches too low in front of the hips and
foot and half too long. A horse
needs feed regularly and often, as often
as once in five hours, at least, at regular
hours in the day. They cannot bear
fasting us well as Illuminating animals !;
but they should never be crammed full
of hay, especially after a long drive
when they have been without all day,
nor just before hard days work, or IL
long journey.
| have seen good many horses near
ly spoiled by fasting and examining. 1t
will soon spoil their digestive organs,
and if long continued it will weaken
them and destroy their vitality so that
they will never take on flesh at all,
even under good treatment. And so
they always remain, a crooked, shape
less mass of unsightly, useless ''horse
flesh" But strange as it may appear,
people never know the difference as
long as the animal has a paunch, hair
and hoOfs
1t is not all work that has brought
them to this. There are thousands of
horses that look as well as they ever
did. 1t is the general management. 1t
is not the team horse nor the livery
horse so much as the farmers horse,
that shows bad treatment. Some pre-
tend that the horse has a poor cOnstitu-
ton, or is sick. Others call it a lack of
vitality. l should call it lack of COM
mon sense in the Uranium of his owner.

same sort was caused by friction On the
edge of the cuff. The result was that
while the rest of the burn was soon
cured, the part thus torn became a
troublesome, suppurating wound. Stu
dying the subject, DR.. Waters thought
that possibly vegetable albumen might
answer the same purpose that animal
albumen is supposed to in the formation
of dermal scales. He proposed to test
this theory by removing the scab from
a portion of the wound, drying the sur
face with blOtting paper, and then i'm
mediately applying the white juice of
the common milk-weed (Asclepids sy-
ciaca.) Space after space of the soft
surface was thus treated, each portion
being allowed to heal successfully be-
fore the next part was tried. Accord
ing to the depth of the sore, the time
of healing varied from twenty -four to
thirty-six hours but in each instance
new skin formed completely across. The
doctor states, as to this new discovery,
that the only essential point is to dry
the wounded surface gently and thor
oughly with blotting paper before APP
plying the milkweed juice. From the
description it appears that after the
juice was applied, and while the heal
ing was in progress, a piece of blotting
paper was also used to cover the sur
face

HINTS TO VIsIToRs.-Try, without
being too familiar to make yourself so
much like one of the family that no one
shall feel you to be in the way; and, at
the same time, be observant of those
small courtesies and kindnesses which
all together make up what the world
agrees to call good manners.
Regulate your hours of rising and re-
firing by the customs of the house. Do
not keep your friends sitting up until
later than usual, and do not be roaming
about the house an hour or two before
breakfast time, unless you are very sure
that your presence in the parlor will
not be unwelcOme. Write in large let
tiers, in a prominent place in your mind,
"Be Punctual." A visitor has no ex-
cuse for keeping a whole family wait
ing, and it is objectionable negligence
not to be prompt at the table. Here is
place to test good manners, and any
manifestation of ill breeding here will
be noticed and remembered. Do not
be too ready to express your likes and
dislikes for the various dishes before
you. The wife of certain United
States senator once visiting acquaint-
ances at some distance from her native
wilds, made lasting impression upon
the family by remarking at the break
fast table that ''she should starve be-
fore she would eat mush," and that she
''never heard of cooking mutton befole
she came east.n

A Serious Business.

Girls talk all alike about marriage, as
though it was a jubilee, gladstone
thing, rose without thorn and so
it is, if all is right, if they go about it
like rational beings, instead of merry
making children. 1t is serious thing
to marry. 1t is a life business. There
fore never do it in hurry never run
away to get married never marry for
wealth or position, or fine person or
manners, but for both, for the qualities
of the mind and heart, which make an
honorable man. Take time, think long
and well before you accept any pro-
posal consult your parents, then some
judiciOus friend, then your own judg-
ment. Learn all that is possible for
you to learn of your proposed husband.
When all doubts have been removed,
and not till then, accept him.

HEALING Raw SURFACEs.-Nearlya
year ago, DR.. G.. F. Waters of Boston,
made the discovery that the bicarbonate
of soda, if applied to burned or scald-
ed surface, promptly subdued the pain.
He performed a somewhat impressive
experiment, to prove his discovery. He
scalded himself severely, on space
seven centimeters broad, all around his
wrist. The application of the bicarbo-
nate Immediately relieved the pain, and
if all had gone on well the burn would
have been cured in a week. But the
doctor was careless, and permitted his
cuff button to catch and tear the Bills

thirty-eight brooms, and five cents over.
1t don't make much difference, John,
about the five cents, but as you are a
right clever Teller, believe l will just
take the change in terbacker"
When Cyrus went out of the door
with his brooms and 'Eterbacker," John
was seized with a serious breaking out
at the mouth, during which time he
was distinctly heard to violate the third
commandment several times, by the
by-standers, who enjoyed the joke
hugely.
