A Chapter on Stings.

The pain caused by the sting of q
plant or insect is the result OF certain
amount of acid poison injected in the
blood. The first thing to be done is to
press the tube of small key firmly on
the wound, moving the key from side to
side to facilitate the expulsion of the
sting and its accompanying poison:
The sting, if left in the wound, should
be carefully extracted, otherwise it will
greatly increase the local irritation.
The poison of stings being acid, COM
mon sense points to the alkalies as the
proper means of cure. Among the most
easily procured remedies may be men,
toned soft soap, liquor of ammonia
(spirits of hartshorn), smelling salts,
washing soda, quick-lime made into a
paste with water, lime-water, the juice
of an onion, tobacco juice, chewed to-
bacco, bruised dock leaves, tomato juice,
wood ashes, tobacco ash and carbonate
of soda. If the sting be severe, rest and
GOODNESS should be added to the otht1
remedies, more especially in the case Of
nervous subjects. Nothing is so apt to
! make the poison active as heat, and
nothing favors its activity less than cold.
Let the body be kept cool and at rest
and the activity of the poison will be
reduced to minimum. Any active
exertion whereby the circulation j.
quickened will increase both pain and
swelling. If the swelling be severe, the
part may be rubbed with sweet oil or a
drop or two of laudanum. Stings in
the eye, ear, mouth or throat, sometimes
lead to serious consequences; in such
cases medical advice should always be
! sought for as soon as possible.-New
York G7uphic.

most valuable ingredient of plantfood, !
nitrogen, in it's simple form; but it is
very soon changed into ammonia, which
in turn unites at once with carbonic
acid. Then when lime is brought in
contact with the mass, it at once COM
bines with the carbonic acid, and the
valuable ammonia escapes and is lost.
When, however, the lime is applied be-
fore the amonia is formed, the nitro
gen is oxydized to nitric acid, which
unites with the lime to produce nitrate
Of lime, and the nitrogen is saved.
Therefore, lime may be used in stables
and house privies, or in composing
carcaSes of dead animals, to advantage:
but if mixed with manure day or two
old, the result is loss of valuable ma
terial. The above also shows why, when
lime is put into compost, it has such
beneficial action in Fastening decom-
position, and why it is necessary to use
plenty of fresh earth to absorb the es-
Gaping ammonia.-American Agricultur-

Arabian Rights Outdone.

A former resident of Reno, Nevada,
now stopping in this city, relates an in
cident that came under his observation
in the Sage Brush state that is worthy of
note. One day, "Canty," a well-known
character in the employ of the railroad
company, while engaged in coupling cars
at the Reno yard, had his left hand 80
severely crushed that amputation was
found necessary. DIR. Bergman per-
formed the operation successfully, and
enclosing the dismembered portion in a
box buried it underground just back of
his office. The incident had almost been
forgotten, excepting when "Canty,"
who had meantime become noted as the
one-handed desperate, would call to
mind by anecdote the circumstance.
Some three or four years elapsed from
the time it occurred, when one day q
man observed dog running past him in
the street, carrying something in its
mouth of unusual appearance. He
picked up stone and hurled it at the
canine. The latter dropped it's load and
he picked it it up. His surprise was
great at finding the article to be we'll

A Chinese Military Review.

A Chinese review has just been wit
messed and described by a correspondent
of the Shanghai Courier. The men, clad
in uniforms Of red and blue, were ranged
in two ranks, every tenth man holding
a bright scarlet flag, while sergeant in
the middle gave the time to the advance
by waving a huge crimson standard.
At the sound of horn, which resembled
the humming of gigantic bee, the
battalion prepared to receive cavalry.
Out popped a soldier brandishing a
pike, which he poked at an imaginary
assailant, then uttering a shrek like an
owl he fourished his shield, turned a
somersault, and trippingly retired to
the ranks. When everybody had popped
out, brandished and poked his pike,
shrieked like an owl, thrown a somer-
sault, and retired, the big horn hummed
once more, the soldiers formed in square
and one of them danced gravely but en-
ergetically forward, throwing out his
right leg with a graceful jerk; then
bounding backward, he again danced
forward, this time throwing out the left.
Then he jumped, he wsltzed, he capered,
he pranced, he turned head over heels,
rolled himself we'll in the dust (Which
rose to the clouds). stood on the back of
his neck while he fourished his legs in
the air, recovering himself, grasped wild
ly with his arms at nothing in particular,
made a grotesque courtesy to the viceroy
and retired. With martial spectacle the
review concluded.
