Vegetable and Human Diseases.

The disease known In orange cul-

by an unusual appearance Of thrift

man system by the disease known
as obesity, or excessive fairness, in
which the victim seems to be enjoy
ing an exceptional degree OF physi-
cal vigor. Besides being a disease in
itself, obesity generates apoplexy and
heart disease, and Its victims are Pc
culiarly susceptible to all forms OF

the better. 1t Is with Biddy as much
as with Briney. Good treatment dis
poses to maternity-in the hen to the
greater production Of eggs; In the
cow to the increased secretion OF
milk.-Ioma State Register.
The very best thing to be done
when anyone has received a burn or
scald, is to lay on the part that is In
jured thick coating OF cotton, wool
or wadding, SO as to completely ex-
clude the air. II the above wool hap
pens not to be at hand, scrsped pota-
to or turnip will ease the pain.
To cure frosted feet, heat a brick
very hot, and hold the foot over 1t as
closely as 1t can be held without
burning. Cut an onion IL two, and
dipping it repeatedly in salt, rub it all
over the foot. The juice Of the onion
will be dried into the foot, and effect
a cure in a very short time. II this
Is done for few times, it Is almost
certain to cure your feet entirely.
For collie in horses, take pint OF
salt dissolved In pint OF hot water.
and quart Of vinegar then added.
and about half the quantity given
will cure the most inverate case OF
collie. Should not the first dose ef-

given, and the cure will be certain.
We have seen this.remedy tried in
number OF cases, and always with
success.

1t around the sores, letting the lower
edge come close down to the hooi;
then tie a cord around this lower end,
after which put the grated carrot into
the opening at the top Of the cloth. a
little above the fetlock. This should
be repeated every day for four or five
days. when the scratches will be
cured.

was on board, and in brotherly
spirit was excesdinly attentive to that
every nice little Mrs. Henderson"
He wrapped up the tootsies in his
own shawl on the storm tossed deck;
he brought the cup OF tea to assuage
the binding headache caused by the
bad sea waves: he shared the prayer
book at the marine service in the
saloon on the Sabbath; he mingled
his voice with hers in the harmo-
nious strains OF the Old Hundred
Not a word breathed soul till the
last day: the joke was too good to be
curtailed by an hour. Then they

Henderson was Lydia Thompson,
