A New WAY TO TREAT DIpHTHERIA.-
Quite discovery in the treatment Of
diphtheria has been made. A young
man whose arm had been amputated,
was attacked by dipthcria before heal
ing took place; and instead Of the mat
ter incident to that disease being de-
posted in the throat, the greater por-
ton appeared on the wounded arm, and
the diphthcria was very light and easily
managed. DR.. Davis, of Mankato, pro-
fitted by this, and in his next case of
dipthcria blistcrcd his PATIENTS chest,
and on this blistercd part the chief de-
posits appeared, This was also All easy
base of the disease. The theory Of Dr..
DAVIS is that diptheria usually appears
in the throat because of the thinncss Of
<xyh 1tn
blister breaks the skin upon any other
part OF the body, the disease appears
there.
REMEDY FOR MOsQUITo BIrEs.-A
wash OF fifteen or twenty drops Of COM
mon carDolic acid in half pint of wa
ter will Immediately relieve the smart
of mosquito bites, hives, prickly heat,
and all irrtations Of the skin common
in summer. AS the strength of carbol-
ic acid commonly sold varies, the dilu-
tions should be tested before using by
wctting Il small spot of skin. ii it
causes any burning In moment or so
it Is TOO strong, al more water must be
added. The lotion was recommended
Dy city physician as in use at Bellevue
Hospital, and years Of experience prove
its benefit. Many restless nights and
much suffering Of children might be
avoided by this simple cure, which has
been safely used on very young infants.
10 WASH Nj MUsLIN.-A clear, dry day
should be chosen to wash muslin
dresses, and several can be done at
once. While the dress dries make the
starch; If the muslin is colored, use
cold starch; if white, make it as for
shiri bosoms, stirring about with wax
candle. Dip the dress into it; hang it
again, to dry. When dry, rinse 1t
quickly, but thoroughly, in clear wa
ter. lang it out to dry again. Sprin-
kle, and roll 1t tightly IN Il towel. Iron
with very hot irons, but not so hot rs
to scorch. Hot irons keep the stiffness
In the muslin.
Cottage CHEEsE.-Whcn the milk is
nicely clabbcred, put it on the stove
and let it remain until we'll scalded, but
Ito not allow it to boil. Pour forth
the cllrd and whey into a bag made of
chccse-cloth, and suspend it until we'll
drained and the curd is left quite dry ;
turn the curd into Il pan, add salt, n bit
of butter and enough sweet cream to
make quite moist. 1t can be moulded
into httlo balls or put into glass dish
without further preparation.

juhtce against sour milk, but let those

some try some fixed as follows: Take
the curdled milk when 1t Is thick and
resembles somewhat a cheese curd, add
to Il teacupful add tablespoonful of
sugar, with nutmeg or any other sea-
soning if liked. 1t is about equal to
custard.
A TABLE ORNAMENT.-Sew coarse
flannel around n goblet with the stem
brokcn'otf, put this shapely dome upon
a SAUCER of water, wet the flannel and
sprinkle over as much flax seed as will
adhere to it. The flannel will absorb
the water from the saucer, which
"'o'AV o'IStt w iSplClltSlclss HI dUOul
two weeks the flannel will be concealed
in a beautiful verdure, which will vie
with any table ornament.
