Healing Raw Surfaces.

Nearly year ago, DR.. G.. +. Waters,
of Boston, made the discovery that the
bicarbonste of soda, If applied to a
burned or scalded surface, promptly SUBJ
dued the pain. He performed some
what impressive experiment, to pIove
his discovery; he scslded himself severe
ly, on space seven centimeters broad,
ali around mis- wrist. The application of
the bicsrbonste Immediately relieved
the pain, and if all had gone well the
burn would have been cured in week.
But the d0cter was careless, and per.
mitted his cuff button to catch and tear
the blistered skin, and further trouble
OF the 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. Study
ing the subject, DR.. Waters thought that
possibly vegetable albumen might an.
swer the same purpose that animal albu-
men is supposed to, in the formation OF
dermal scales. He proceeded to test
this theory by removing the scab from n
portion of the wound, drying the sur
face with blotting paper, and then i'm
mediately applying the white juice o.
the common milkweed (As.ierias syriaea).
Space after space of the sore surface was
treated, each portion being allowed to
heal successfully before the next part
was tried. According 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 complete
ly across. The doctor states, as to this
new discovery, that the only essential
point is to dry the wounded surface gent.
, and thoroughly with blotting paper
before applying the milkweed. From
the description, it appears that after the
Juice was applied, and while the healing
WAS in progress. = piecs of blottiDg pa
per was also used TO cover the surface.

How 10 Live 200 Years.

II anybody wants to live couple of
centuries, (I let him never overfeed !;
and (2) let him never get drunk. At
least those are the rules of health laid
down by Miguel Soils, a hsif-breed
farmer in the foothills of the Sierra
Mesils, New Granada, who confesses to
being $50 years DID, but is believed by
his neighbors to be really much older.
DR.. Luiz Hernandez, who recently paid
him a visit, found him at work in his
orchard; his skin was the color OF parch-
ment, but he was robust and active his
snow white hair was twisted turban-
fashion round his head, snd his eyes
were so bright that the doctor felt quite
uncomfortable when they were turned
upon him. Miguel said that the secret
of his living century or two was very
simple-never getting drunk and never
overlooking. eat only once a day, a
big, hearty meal, which IL often takes me
half an hour to get through with; but
you see it is not possible in half an hour
20 cat more than you can di gest in the next
twenty four" He went on 10 say that he
had not msde up his mind about meat,
but did not eat much of it. He tasted
on the first and middle days of each
month, eating nothing, but drinking all
the water he could swallow. He always
let cooked foed cool before tasting it !;
and to this precaution is attributed the
fact that his teeth are as sound now as
they were one hundred and eighty years
sgo. DR.. Hernandez was informed by
some of the Oldest inhabitants of the
district that they well remembered
Miguel as reputad cpntensrisn when
they were boys; also that the name of
Miguel Soils, colored farmer, appears in
writ, still preserved, of the contributors
to the building fund of Franciscan
monastery near San Sebastian, which
was founded in l7l2, and that the pres
ent abbot is positive it is the same man.

English Mothers,

1t isa marked feature of social life in
Eagland, and certainly one of its special
charms, that mothers and daughters are
SO uniformly seen together at home.
Not only is the mother the first lady to
whom you are introduced at the house
where you visit, but she is mistress of the
ceremonies throughout; not only does
she preside at the dinner table, but at
the evening party she sits as queen.
Whatever may be your first impressions
of such an arrangement, if it happens
that your sympathies are with the
younger ladies, you will very soon learn
to think that the mothers absence would
he very sincerely regretted by the dsugh>
ters. As picture, all must admit the
arrangement to be perfect The portly

daughters. And yeu will and nothing

HYGIENE.

FELoS: Equal parts soft soap and
quick lime, made into paste; apply to
felon; renew whenever dry. 1t will
cause pain if the ielen has progressed
much but it is sure cure.
BURNS: Strong, fresh, clear lime
water, mixed with as much linseed oil
as it will cut; shake the bottle before
applying; wrap the burn in cotton wad-
ding saturated with the lotion wet as
often as it appears dry without removing
cotton from burn for nine days, when
new skin will probably have formed.
DRUNKENNESS: The. Wisconsin ply
sicisn who prescribes cinchoDa as n cure
for drunkenness says the red bark, and
not the yellow, which is usually sold in
drug stores, is the kind for the remedy,
One pound of red cinchona, pulverized
and added tv pint OF water, is stepped

alcohol until the tincture is reddish

and simulated dishes Our palates ay
be cheated by the cuisinier, but he Can
not cheat our stomachs. Food we must
have; food that on analysis gives fibrin
and giutin snd albumen, and puts such
restlessness into our muscles and our
brains that we Can not choose but work
and think. The hearty worker is invari-
ably the hearty feeder. While it is
right and proper TO utilize everything
edible, and wrong TO waste what may
serve useful purpose, there is no
economy 80 unwise as that which leads
us to defraud our blood by filling the
stomach with what seems to be food, but
is lacking in the essential elements OF
food. In the summer time fruits and
vegetables naturally form large part OF
our diet. When neither underripe nor
overripe nothing can be more wholesome
than fruit. But there are no articles OF
food more deranging 10 the system than
unripe fruit, or that verPing on decay, in
which the lamentations of decomposi-
ti0n have begun. So far rs possible
fruit should be eaten without sugar.

delicacy and satisfaction. The habit

summer, and the American idea tina;

discarded, large comfort ensues to the

Indian Depredn tions in Texas.

The customary story of robbery and MUIR
der in Texas this time brings American
Indians instead of border Mexicans before
us as the perpetrators. In one case man
was killed and two horses and mail bag
stolen; in another thirteen mules were
stolen. In each case the military are in
pursuit, let us hope with the prospect Of
catching and furnishing them. We have
not heard for some time Of those incursions
from Mexican territory which have formed
the staple of Texan outrages for the last
twenty years. The arrangement between
the military authorities of the two
countries for the pursuit Of raiders
from either bank Of the Rio Grande has
apparently checked the operations Of the
predatory class Of Mexicans who fourished
Mt small risk on cattle thieving from Ameri-
can citizens Robberies and outrages such
as those now reported are clearly due to m
inefficient policing of the Indian reserva-
tions. Tho task Of preventing parties of
young bucks from slipping away upper
ceived and returning undetected is very
difficult one, but it all points toward the
inevitable moving of these slippery wards
Of the nation to some place where they can
be effectually guarded. That or gradual
determination is their choice.

De 10 ndtng tho Flag.

1t is q pity that q statute should be neces-
sary to prevent the Dissertation of the Stars
and Stripes by its use as a sign and as q
medium for advertisements. BUTT appears
that it is, and we hope the statute may be
effective against this insult to patriotic SEN
timents. The rage for putting conspicu-
ously before the eyes of men the name of
designation for the same old whiskey, or
some starch, or soap, or hair oil produced
by patented processes is rage not bad
in itself, as il is the mere exuberance of q
commercial spirit !; but it is rage as TO the
propriety of suppressing which in certain
of its manifestations there can hardly
be doubt Hence the laws against
the disfguring Of natural scenery,
which are not vigorously enforced,
but without which it would, perhaps.
have been eventually impossible to find a
mountain wall or u smooth bowlder any
where in the United States not painted over
with some tradesman's advertisements. To
the tradesman who hopes to make fortune
by his nostrum its name is perhaps thing
of beauty Pleasant thoughts gather around
il, and he deems it as beautiful on tho
mountains as the footsteps OF one that
bringeth glad tidings, and worthy to be
written beside the stars Of glory on the
national banner. But as that is not o view
likely to be taken by the public the law for
the defence OF the flag will have the common
opinion in its favor.
