An Antidote for Strychnine.-An in
stance of the prompt and successful
use of an antidote in a case Of %strychnine
poisoning is Enthusiastically narrated
in Nature. A favorite Skye terrier had
accidentally obtained and eaten the
poison, which was intended for mice.
The amount taken by the dog was pro-
baby about a sixth of a grain. When
found, the animal was rigid and appar-
emily lifeless, except having an occa-
slonal spasm. The owner consulted
authorities and found that a dose of
choral hydrate was the antidote pre-
scribed in such cases. To kill a rabbit,
twenty-one grains of the chlOral is
sufficient; the dog was twice the weight
of a rabbit, and the owner of the terrier
therefore, proceeded to inject forty-fve
grains of choral lin solutiOn) under its
skin. About fifteen minutes afterward
supposing the dog was dead, the owner
applied his boot to it, probably feeling
a little disguised with the result of his
experiment. To his great surprise, the
terrier struggled to its feet. Shortly
afterward it took some milk, and sub
sequently, though not for a while very
lively, it seemed none the worse for its
experience. The essential point In this
treatment is that the dose of chloral
should be strong enough to kill other
wise it may not be sufficient to overcome
the effects of the strychnine.

RELIEF FOR EAR ACHE.-sutferers will
find relief for ear-ache by putting in a
spoon two or three drops of sweet oil,
or, better still, almond oil, the same of
molasses and laudanum, warming it all
together. Absorb some of the mixture
in cotton wool, put it in the ear with a
piece of the wool outside to keep out
the cool air, repeating the thing if
necessary. A roast Onion-heart dipped
in this and surrounded with cotton is
also often very eficaciOus.

RICULTUR

METHOD OF JUDGING A HoRsE.-The
first thing to be looked at In a horse is
his shape. A horses head should be
fine, broad between the eyes, and taper
ing in toward the nose, the jaws should
be clean and unencumbered with flesh,
the eye full, bright and lively, the nos
trils open, and of a bright red inter-
nally, (Which generally denotes breed
ing and courage; the space between
the laws underneath should be roomy
and void of humps or glandular swell
lings; the ears should be we'll set into
the head and pointed forward. A
horses neck should be light, airy, we'll
curved and having a considerable sweep
underneath at its junction with the
laws. In horses whose wind-pipe Is
curved where it is set into the jaws,
they have generally better wind than
others, inasmuch as the air in eXpira-
ton has not to encounter the ubstruc-
ton caused by the neck when 1t joins
the head at a sharp angle. A long
necked horse is generally weak, swashy,
frequently predisposed to be a roarer,
and the rest of his shape generally par
takes of the same type, his back being
long and his body o n of the shortest.
An upright shoulder generally marks
the harness horse; a sloping shoulder
is, therefore, as essential In the saddle
horse. Plenty of room in the chest is
a desideratum; nevertheless many a
narrow-chested horse has performed
wonders. The back should be short,
rather arched over the loins, having the
tail set rather high. The body should
be deep, well ribbed up-that is, be-
tween the last rib and the hip-bone. A
low-rumped horse generally puts his
hind legs well under him when at
work, and this is a good quality. A
horses thighs should be well clothed
with muscle down to the hook; there
and thence, to the hoof, all should be a
considerable bend on the back part of
the thigh. Horses that stand with the
caps of the hooks nearly touching are
seldom thought much of. The fore legs
should be muscular down to the knee,
and thence, like the hind legs, fiat and
sinewy.

SCIENTIFIC.

MdgHetic Currents IN the Edrth-A very
brief notice was given recently of some
experiments by Professor Richard Owen
Of Indiana State University, upon the
force and direction Of currents OF earth
magnetism. Ii should have been stated
that the continuous current discovered
was toward the northwest. The
strength of the underground currents
varies in these experiments with the
amount Of metallic surface buried from
which wires lead to the galvanometer),
the length Of wire, the time Of day, the
state Of the weather, and other circum-
stances. The magnetic meridian of
Bloomington, Ind, is between 5 and 6
deg. east of north. The strongest cur
rents yet found have been soon after
sunrise, and nearly or quite at right
angles 10 that meridian; i. e. from east
southeast to west-northwest. A less
powerful current flows at thai time
from southeast to northwest, and a still
weaker one from so~uth-southeast to
to north.northwest, but after crossing
the magnetic meridian, the current
again becomes stronger from the south
east to the northwest. By about l or 2
d. m. the currents are so modified as TO
mark several degree less Of galvano.
meter detection for the first two direc.
tions mentioned, and several degrees
more detection for the last two direc-
tions: IS If, in short, the strength
followed the apparent course OF the sun.
Professor Owen suggests that some day
there may be a use discovered for the
constant supply of force indicated by
these earth-currents. He thinksit pos
sible that the continuous current which
lie finds from metal plates above the
ground to metal plates beneath it,
might prove Of service in Fastening the
growth of plants; as for instance, If
forcing beds for early vegetables were
held in metallic pans and connected by
wires with a metallic roof.

DOMESTIC.

COOKING PoTAToKs .-One OF the Oldest
ways Of cooking potatoes In France,
probably much In fashion long before
Paris existed, but, at all events, much
patroniZed even.nOw, Is called a la POnt
Neuf. The potatoes are peeled, and
then cut lengthways into slices aquarter
of an inch thick, and plunged into a
pan Of boiling lard; the fat must be
boiling, and there must be quite a bath
of it. A newer way for cooking p0ta-
toes, called la Parlsienne, is a follows:
Peel them, and boil them In water,
with a little salt; when cooked, take
them out of the pot, and let them drip
quite dry, then mash them, and place
them In a pot with butter, salt, pepper,
some beef liquor, and chopped herbs,
such as chevril, tarragon, so~allion,
Gives and ~garden-cress. The compound
must be we'll stirred over the fire, and
when it is getting quite thick and stiff,
and attached to the pot, take 1t from the
fire; make balls ofthe mashed potatoes,
and put them into a basin In which you
have previously beaten a couple of eggs,
one or two balls at a time, afterwards
fry them in boiling butter, or lard, for
a minute, and serve up with fried
parsley. If the frying fat is not quite
boiling, the potato imbibes too much of
it, and the flavor is spoiled. The sea-
soning is naturally the principal thing.
A good cook ought to be quite offended
at any one using either salt or pepper
at table with vegetables, which always
taste much better if the seasoning is
applied during the cooking.

A COLLECTORS STRATAGEM.-While
collecting, not long since, Mr.. Johnson
had the following experience at a fine
mansion on the west side:
A little girl responded to the ringing
of the door bell, and, In reply to Mr..
Johnson's inquiry as to whether her
mother was at home, said: mamma
says for me to tell you she amt in to-
day. She's gone out"
"AhF" remarked the imperturbed
circulator, without moving a muscle OF
his countenance, "please 60 and ask her
to tell you where she has gone"
The insufficiently trained girl ran
through the hall toward a rear room,
shouting: "Mamma, he wants to know
where you have gone to-"
A smothered exclamation and a blow,
followed Immediately by child's shrek
of terror, was heard, a door was after.
ward loudly slammed, and finally a
very red faced woman, bearing 90 cents,
appeared on the cen and deposited
the money in the collectors hands as a
peace-otfering.

VIRTUE IN WHIsTLING.-An old far

work he was asked to perform. Such a
man was generally kind to children and

tie a chilled lamb into warmth and life,
and would bring In his hat full of eggs
from the barn without breaking one of
them. He found such a man more care
full about closing gates, putting up bars,
and seeing that the nuts on his pillow
we're all properly frightened before he
took it into the field. He never knew a
whistling hired man to beat or kick a

fed in the yard and shed gathered
around him without fear as he whistled.
He never had employed a whistler who
was not thoughtful and economical.
How TO Use BONES AS A FERTILIZER.
The easiest name of preparing
bones for use Is to burn them with
wood. The phosphate of lime is all In
the ashes, but the nitrogen is lost as the
animal manner is burned away. But
an equivalent of ammonia could be pur-
chased in the shape of dried blood,
meat, or fish guano, for less money than
1t would cost to reduce the bones to a
fine powder in their raw condition 100
pounds of dry bones contain As pounds
Of gelatine, in which there are about 8
pounds of ammonia. This could be re-
placed by 20 pounds of sulphate of am
monia, at a cost of about 54 cents per
pound, or $1.10. AS the sulphate Is at
once available, while the ammonia of
bones is only produced, q half or a
fourth Of the former would supply an
equivalent of the bones.

RECONCILIATION OF CHEEsE.|George
Washington Peck, the amusing young
man OF La Crosse, "Cheesed' the late
Wisconsion dairy convention In the fol-
lowing manner : acknowledgements,
you are doing yourselves great Injustice
that you do not petition Congress 10
pass a bill to remonetiZe cheese. Ihere
is more cheese raised In this country
than there Is silver, and It's more valua-
BILE. Suppose you had not eaten a
mOuthful In thirty days, and you should
have placed on the table before you $40
stamped out OF silver bullion on one
plate and so stamped out of cheese
bullion on another plate, which would
you take first2 Though the face value
Of the nine cheese dollars would be 10
per cent. below the face value OF the
ten silver dollars, you would take the
chances of the cheese. You could use
1t to better advantage In your business.
Hence | say cheese Is more valuable
than silver, and it should be made legal
tender for all debts, public aud private,
except pew rent. i may be In advance
of other eminent %financiers, who have
studied the currency question, but |
want TO see the time come, and i trust
the day Is not far distant, when 4l2 l-2
grains of cheese shall be equal to 81 In
Goldfish, and when the merry jingle Of
slices of cheese shall be heard In every
pocket. Then every cheese factory can
make its coin, money will be plenty,
everybody will be happy, and there
never will be war any more. Ii may
be asked how this currency can be re-
deemed? would have IN incontroverti-
BILE bond made of ~llmburger cheese,
which is stronger and more durable.
When this is done you can tell the rich
nan from the poor man by the smell of
his money. Nowadays many of us do
not even get the smell OF money, but In
the good days which are coming the
gentle zephyr will watt to us the deli
cate violet and the able-bodied lin
burger, and we shall know that money
is nlantV.

RULES for the prevention Of scarlet
fever have lately been issued by the
Michigan board of health, and as this
Is one of the most contagious of diseases
it might be well to bear them In mind I:
The first %precaution is the isolation of
the sick from the well, and the proven
ton of contact with the patient. The
room should be cleared of all unneces-
sary clothing, carpets, or other sub
stances in which the poison may Turk
and be thence transferred lsewhere.
The patient should use rags in place of
hankerchiefs, SO that they may be
burned. Body and bed linen should be
placed in vessels Of water containing
chloride of lime or similar substance.
Discharges should be received In a solu-
ton of sulpbate of iron or copper, and
be afterwards buried. Persons recover-
ing from this disease should be con-
sidered dangerous as long as there is
any scaling of the skin, soreness of the
eyes, etc. Many other precautions are
inculCated, all of which are considered
more or less important.

A Desperate AnsaIInnt.

Last night Mertie Donahue, a grocery
keeper, asked Justice P. NJ. Winters to
come up to the latter's office as he
wanted to have a consultation. The
Liberator did so, and upon entering his
office, which is in the second story OF the
building at the northeast corner of Main
and Poplar streets, he was assaulted by
Donahue with drawn pistol. The Lib
orator snatched the pistol and threw it
out of the window. Thereupon Dona.
hue tried to throw Mr.. Winters out Of the
Office, but the sash fell and delayed this
murderous work. Policeman Doherty
aud Charlie Winters, nephew Of Justice
Winters, hearing the noise, ran out Of
the saloon below, Charlie Winters seized
the pistol aud rushing up stairs fred at
Donahue, the ball wounding him 10 the
neck. The timely shot probably saved
the life Of Justice Winters. Donahue is
the man whom Deputy Sheriff Murphy
shot some time ago. In the trial Jus.
tice Winters testified that he believed
Donahue was OF unsound mind. This
induced the murderous assault by Dona.
hue, who was drunk and is still dunk.
He ia in the station.house.
