THE HOME DOCTOR.

For Bo1Ls. The skin of a boiled
egg is the most efficacious remedy that
can be applied to boil. Peel it care
fully, wet and apply it to the part af-
fected. 1t will draw off the matter and
relieve the soreness in few hours
Simple but eflicacious.
ONIoNs.-An exchange says il is not
generally known that raw onions sliced
andset about in saucers or plates absorb
contagion in the air, and to cat plenti-
fully of them before breathing infected
air is safeguard against it. They are
powerful but harmless in their antiseptic
properties. So simplesa remedy being
within everybody's reach, it would be
well if it could become generally known.
COVERING FOR THE SIoK.-The
Housekeeper's COMPANION advises
never to use anything but light blank
cts as bed-covering fors the sick. The
heavy7cotton impervious counterpane is
bad, for the very reason that it keeps in
the carnations from the sick person,
while the blanket allows them to pass
through. Weak patients are invariably
distressed by great weight of bed
clothes, which often prevents their get
ting any sound sleep whatever.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Journal says the following cure for a
felon has been tested by wide expert
ence among his friends, and is worthy
of circulation: Roast or bake thor
ougbly large onion; mix the soft in
ner pulp with two heaping tablespoon
fuls of table salt, and apply the mixture
to the affected part as poultice, keep
ing the parts well covered. Make fresh
applications at least twice a day, morn
ing and evening, and cure will follow
in at least week.
SULPHUR For DIPHTHERIA.-Mr, John
8. 5Wiles, a surgeon Of Thorncombe,
Dorset, writes to the London Times
that, after two cases of malignant diph-
liberia out of some nine or ten he had
been called to attend had proved fatal,
the mother Of sick child showed him
an extract from an American paper con-
corning practitioner who used sulphur
to cure the disease Accordingly he
used milk of sulphur for infants and
flowers of sulphur for older children and
adults, brought to creamy consistence
with gycerine; dose, teaspoonful or
more, according to age, three or four
times day, swallowed slowly, and APP
plication of the same to the nostrils with
a sponge Result, he did not lose case
there or elsewhere, and he succeeded in
saving life when the affection had al
most blocked the throat.

The Hair.

The quality and color of the hair was
a subject of speculative theory for the
ancients. Lank hair was considered in
dicative of pusillanimity and cowardice ;
yet the head of Napoleon was guiltless
of curl. Frizzly hair was thought an
indication of coarseness. The hair most
in esteem WAS that terminating in ring
let's. Dares the historian, states that
Achilles and Ajax lebanon had curling
locks; such also was the hair of Timon,
the Athenian. As to to the Emperor
Augustus, nature had favored him with
such redundant locks that no hair
dresser in Rome could procure the like
Auburn or light brown was thought the
most distinguished, as portending in
telligence, industry, peaceful DISPOSE
ton, as well rs great susceptibility to
the tender passion. Castor end Pollux
had brown hair; 80 also had Menelaus.
Black hair does not appear to have
been esteemed by the Romans; but red
was an object of aversion. Ages before
the time Of Judas, red hair was thought
mark of reprobation, both in the case
of Typhon, who deprived his brother Of
the scepter of Egypt, and Nebuchadnez-
Ear, who acquired it in expiation of his
atrocities. Even the donkey tribe suf-
fered from this ill-omened visitation,
according to the proverb of "wickcd as
a red ass" Asses Of that color were
held in such detestation among the
Copts, that every year they sacrificed
one, hurting it from high wall.
