APRAcTIcAL JoKE.-A practical Joker,
a prudent man withal, had gone to
cafe and ordered three-masted
schooner of beer, when friend appears
at the door and beckons to him to go
out for minute. The intending drinler
is afraid that in his absence some one
may get away with the liquid, when a
happy thought strikes ham, and he
wraps round the handle of the mug a
scrap of paper inscribed:
81 have spit in this ~
With light heart he hastens to the
door, communicates with his friend and
returns to find written in another hand
beneath his warning:
$50 have I!'

about two gallons. Fill with cold
water; and, leaning over large basin
or bath, pour the contents of the water
ing-por on the shoulders in such way
that the water may also run over the
chest. Then rub perfectly dry with a
towel, and supply little violet powder
if there be any roughness or soreness
of the skin-but not otherwise. The
water will seem very cold at first, but
this sensation will soon pass away, and
it will in due time be used as easily and
comfortably in winter as in summer.

DOMESTIC.

SICK HEADAcHR.-s'This complaint Is
the result of eating too much and exer-
cising too little. Nine times in ten the
cause is in the fact that the stomach
was not able to digest the food last in
troduced into 1t, either from its having
been unsuitable or excessive in quantity.
A diet of bread and butter with ripe
fruits or berries, with moderate con-
tinuous exercise in the open air, suffi-
cient to keep up a gentle perspiration
would cure almost every case in short
time. Two teaspoonfuls of powdered
charcoal in q half glass of water and
drank, generally gives instant relief"
We are inclined to think that the above
remedies may do In some, but not in all
cases. A sovereign remedy for this
distressing disease is not easily found.
A new correspondent from Connecticut
contributes the following on this sub
ject: Sick headache is periodical, and
Is the signal of distress which the
stomach puts up to inform us that there
is an over alkaline condition of its
fluids; that it needs natural acid to
restore the battery to its normal work
ing condition. When the first symptoms
of headache appear take tablespoonful
of lemon juice clear, fifteen minutes
before each meal, and the same dose at
bed time; follow this up until all symp-
toms are passed, taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able to
90 free from this unwelcOme nuisance.
Many will object to this because the
remedy is too simple; but l have made
many cures In this way.

ARTIST AND CRITIC IN CONFLICT.-At
an art exhibition in city gallery, not
long since, critic stepped up SO close
to the work of particularly sensitive
artist that the latter was led to exclaim,
with considerable petulence:
"Oh, stick your nose right out and
smell of it,"
The critic, not at all nOnplussed, did
as requested, and turning to the specta
tors, with nod of his head, coolly re-
marked:
"Yes, it smells like a painting"
1t is feared that nothing short of
pistols and coffee will ever satisfy the
cravings for carnage which this little
episode has engendered between the
two parties.

CHEAP AND CONVENIENT MOTOR FOR
FARMs.-The demand for a low-power
motor for light work in shops and farms
has brought out new steam and water
engine Among the more recent steam
motors of this class is a portable engine
and boiler of one horse power, that pre-
sents some features of value to the far
mer and small manufacturer. The boiler
is cast in single heavy piece of car
wheel iron, and depends for its safety
on its great thickness. 1t consists of two
circular castings, each thirty-eight CEN
timeters (fifteen inches) in diameter,
and Joined together by four vertical
tubes. The fire-box is placed in the
middle of The lower casting, and thus
surrounded by the water. The smoke
fiues are taken up through the ceatre
of each of the tubes that join the two
parts of the boiler A light dome fits
over the top of the upper casting and
serves 10 connect the flues with the
chimney. By this simple arrangement
is secured good water surface, direct
upward draught and plenty of steam
space above and surrounding the fiues.
The vertical engine, with all its proper
appliances, is placed at the side of the
boiler near the top, and takes its steam
directly from the upper part of the
boiler and throws it's exhaust into the
stack above the boiler. Every appliance
essential in a first-class engine is sup
piled in a compact and convenient form,
and the boiler is fitted with safety
valve, water-glass, blow-off check
valves, gauge cocks and rocking crate
for the lire. The engine is said TO work
at an expense of only ten cents a day in
burning hard coal for the one-horse
power

How TO DRAW TEA PRoPERLY.-It is
a mistake to make tea strong, If tile full
flavor is desired. Professional tea
rasters use but a single pinch to a cup
full of boiling water. In China and
Russia, where tea is made to perfection,
it is very weak, Boiling water being
poured upon a few leaves. the decoction
covered for few minutes, and then
drank hot and clear. Two minutes is
long enough for tea to stand; and it
should never be boiled, or the fine
aroma which exists in the volatile oil
will be thrown off by evaporation,
leaving rs fiavoring only the bitter
principle of the tannic acid extracted
by boiling. When hard water is used
in making tea, little carbonate of soda,
put into the tea pot, will both increase
the strength OF the tea and make it more
nutritious, the alkali dissolving the
gluten to some extent.

HoRsEsHoEING. - On an average
horses require shoeing once a month.
The length of time shoe will wear de-
pends much on the kind of service a
horse is doing and on the kind of road
he is daily travelling. A team horse III
heavy draught does not wear out as
many shoes as one used in a h cn; quick
motion grinds shoes down more rapidly
than slow. use. Some pavement is harder
on shoes than ordinary road, while
the friction of a gravelly road wears
them away rapidly. Wooden pavement
is but little saving to the wear and
tear of shoes, for the grit and dust which
become impacted in the interstices of
the wooden block, grind away shoes
like the friction of an emery wheel.
The hind shoes wear out first, and there
is more strain and friction on them than
on the forward shoes. 1t is impossible
and improper for horse TO wear shoes
more than six weeks, for the growth of
the foot shorteEs the shoes, as well as
changes the shape otherwise. The neg
lect will cause the shoe to encroach
upon the soft textures of the foot and
produce lameness.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

Life Rescue.-The true plan to follow,
when safety is the call, is to swim with
everything below the chin we'll down
under water, the head well back and
resting centrally on the floating power
of the lungs. But what will you do
when your cOmrade is tired out and
drowningf That depends. If he is cool
and reliable, get in front OF him, let
him place his hands on your hips (not
your shoulders), and you can carry him
quite a distance. That suppOses that
both parties, rescued and rescuer, un-
derstand fair play. The weaker party is
the one that ought to drown, if he
shows any disposition to drown bis
friend by q miserable. cowardly death
clutch at the only floating thing around
him. In the case of the death-clutch.
20 to the bottom with your man and
leave him there. There may be an
unpleasant wrestle. but the real
drowning man is ready to quit his prey
when he strikes bottom. The better
man has right to come to the surface
and swim ashore.
But in a considerable swimming ex-
perience, and some rescues. there come
one absolute rule: Never face a
drowning man. He welcomes rescue
so eagerly that he will hug you around
the neck and take you down. The
safest and best thing to do Is get behind
him, and. unless you are lefthanded,
put your left hand under his right arm
pit. The lift you give him will be en-
Ough in ordinary water. He can be
coaxed to help himself, and if he is a
reasonable being swim to shore. If he is
insone with fright. recollect that you
are to be both prudent and heroic.
Get away from him, clutch his ankle
with one hand and tow him ashore. Ii
the bank is near, he is not likely to
drown on the way. If he does, it is
not your fault. But a brave swimmer
is master of his element.
once saw two young fellows rescue
a drowning cOmrade in way that was
remarkable for its neatness. The
Door fellow was in midstream, cram
ped and exhausted, and barely able to
keep afioat. Which was first was never
decided. but at the critical moment
each was behind him, each with a hand
under an arm pit; he was almOsta a dead
weight on their hands, and they swarm
him ashore, more dead than alive. 1t
was a struggle but they were the mas
ters of the situation.
