TREATMENT OF CHRONIC Alec
HoLIsM.-An Italian physician
writing on this subject, comes to
the following conclusions:
/. Phosphorus is a very useful
remedy in the treatment of
chronic alcoholism.
2. The medicine is perfectly
tolerated in d SIS which no one
has dared to give heretofore
ten cent;grammes (nearly i
grains) a day for many weeks.
3. The remedy gives to drink
ers a feeling Of comfort and
strength, and furnishes the force
necessary to carry on their Or
ganic functions, which they have
been accustomed to get from al
coholic liquors.
4. The medicine seems also to
have the properties Of a prophy-
Tactic and an antidote, for it
causes very beneficial changes in
the system, even when the use of
liquor has not been stopped.
He uses PHOSPHORUS in the
form of phosphide of zinc

How TO KEEP BUTrER.-The
essentials in keeping butter, in
summer, consists in making it
properly, and having a cool place
to keep it, and excluding it from
the air. No butter can be SAFELY
packed in warm weather which
is not perfectly made, nor can it
then be kept if exposed to the
air. Dairy rooms cooled with a
cheap refrigerator are coming
into u e now among butter ma
kers, both for setting milk and
keeping butter, and with ice ana
salt cur a low temperature at
a small cost. The best packa-
ges for keeping butter a long
time in WaIm weather are made
OF tin, and wood lined. When
filled, the cover is soldered on
and made air tight.-Coy. Ncm

Little Women.

Little women are prone 10 las
cinate big men, but perhaps they
have a considerable amount OF
power ever men In general. But
they are endowed with no such
| capacity for witchery so 'ar as
their sisters are concerned. In
deed, there is IA certain amount
of chronic antagonlsm between
little women and other women.
and this prevents them from
fraternizing together with that
cordiality with which women
who are in no way physically
remarkable can. The ordinary
woman will probably tell you, if
you appeal to her for an opinion,
that the little woman is IA con
ceited little thing who gives Ter
self all manner of airs and
graces." This statement may not
be quite correct, but those who
generally make it have good
cause for believing in its accur-
acy. The little woman is in the
habit of treating them with "a
degree of scorn, not to say CON
tempt, which is calculated to
have a most irritating effect up
on their nerves. The constant
con emplation Of her own insig-
nifcance has ruffied her temper,
though her very smallness IS, in
some cases, a point in her favor
rather than against it. But con
slant fighting, even if it is only
with shadows, has a decidedly
exasperating tendency. Now she
is continually doing battle with
what she and some others may
be disposed to consider her weak
point. 1t is easy to see how
keenly she feels the sting of be-
ing small. She not only assumes
an aggressive attitude toward a
great portion of humanity on
that account; she allows the
fact to influence her In matters
of taste and her everyday life.
1t she has a house she will have
everything in it on as big a
scale as possible she will love
big horses and big dogs; she
will, as we have already said,
probably marry a big man /; and
she will in a variety Of other
ways indicate her affection for
the magnificent as compared
with the insignificant. All this
may be regarded as a sort Of
protest Oh her part against
her own littleness. 1t is anoth-
er proof that people would
like to be just what they
IRE not, and to get just what they
lack. Though her foibles and
eccentricities r many she can
be forgiven them, in view of
their causes. At the same time
she may be recommended to
make herself little more agree
able. She would be more agree
able if she were less egotistical
and aggressive. Perhaps we
should say that we have spoken
of typical little women, not of
all little women.-N. Y. Home

NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM.
A very simple relief for neu-
ralgia is to boil a small handful
OF lobelia in half pint Of water
till the strength is out Of the
herb, then strain it off and add
a teaspoonful of fine salt. Wiring
cloths out Of the liquid as hot as
possible and spread over the
part affected. 1t acts like a
charm. Change the cloths as
soon as cold, till the pain is all
gone; then cover up till perspi-
ration Is over, so as to prevent
taking cold. Rheumatism can
often be relieved by application
to the painful parts Of cloths wet
in a weak solution of sal-soda in
water. If there is inflammation
in the joints, the cure is very
quick; the wash needs to be
lukewarm.

Train Your Boys for Business

There is one element in the
home instruction Of boys to
which, says a Boston paper, too
little attention has been given,
and that is the cultivation of
habits of punctuality, system,
order and responsibility. In two
many households boys from II
to Il years old are too much add
ministered to by loving mothers
or other female members OF the
family. Boys living during
those years are the halcyon days
of their existence. Up in the
morning just in season for break
fast, nothing to do bat to start
off early enough not TO be too
late looking upon an errand as
taking so much time and mem
DRY away from enjoyment; little
thought of personal appearance
except when reminded by mo-
ther to spruce up a little, find
ing his wardrobe always where
mother puts tin fact, having
nothing to do but enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes on until
school ends. Then he is ready
for business. He goes into an
office where everything is sys-
tenn, order and precision. He is
expected to keep things neat and
orderly, sometimes kindle fires,
file letters, do errands-in short,
become a part of a nicely regu-
lated machine, where everything
moves in systematic grooves, and
each one is responsible for cor
rectness in his department., and
where, in place Of ministers to
his comfort, he finds task mas
tiers, more or less lenient, to be
sure, and everything in marked
contrast to his previous life.
In many instances the change
is too great. Errors become nu-
merous; blunders, overlooked at
first, get to be a matters of seri-
Gus moment; then patience is
overtasked: and the boy is told
his services + no longer want
ed. This is his first blow, and
sometimes he never rallies from
it. Then comes the surprise to
the parents, who, too often, never
know the real cause, nor where
they have failed in the training
Of their children.
What is wanted is for every
boy to have something special
to do to have some duty at a
definite hour, and to learn to
watch for that time to come; to
be answerable for a certain pOr-
ton of the routine of the house
hold to be trained to antici-
pate the time when he may en-
ter the ranks of business, and
be fortified with habits of ener-
gy, accuracy and application,
often of more importance than
superficial book learning.-Sci-

A woman was found dead OF

A woman was found dead OH
the bank of Tar river. about six
miles above Washington, on last
Friday, nearly opposite j. r.
Clark's. Her head and one arm
was gone, and the fe=h was torn
from her ribs. She was SO dis
figured by decomposition that it
was impossible to ascertain If
abe was white or colored. AS
she wore a No. Z shoe, it is con-
;ectured she was colored. She
was evidently drowned above

A Chicago girl did not wish
to marry her lover, but said yes
to his proposal for the fun of
being engaged. The young
man was very much in earnest,
and when she at length inform
ed him that she had only been
joking he threatened to kill her
if she did not keep her promise.
Thus bulldozed, she submitted
to matrimony. That was a year
ago. Lately she appealed 10 the
courts, and the Superior Court
has decided that the marriage,
having been accomplished by a
threat of violence, is void.

House Help.

Thin GINGERBREAD.-Boil one
quart of molasses twenty minutes,
add Immediately one teaspoon
ful soda, one cup Of butter, GIN
ger to taste, -four to make a paste
to roll.
To PRESERVE DEAD GAME
Take out the intestines, fill the
inside with unground wheat, and
place the fowl in a heap or cask
of the same grain in such a man
ner as to insure its being cover
ed. In this way fowls may be
kept perfectly sweet for months.
The feathers should be removed.
FRENCH MUsTARD.-Slice an
onion in a bowl cover with good
vinegar. After two days pour
off the vinegar add to it a tea
spoonful OF cayenne pepper, a
teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoon
ful of sugar and mustard enough
to thicken mix. Set on the
stove and stir till it boils. When
cold it is fit for use.
BEEFsTEAK AND OYSTER PIE.-
Beat the steak gently with a
rolling pin and season with pep
per and salt have ready a deep
dish lined with not too rich a
pastry put in the meat with
layers Of oysters then the oyster
liquor with a little mace and a
teaspoonful c~atsup; cover with
top crust and bake. Veal Will
do as well as beef.
BREAD PUDDING.-Butter a
baking dish sprinkle the bot
tom with raisins butter a few
slices of bread; lay over the rails
ins (have enough slices to cover
the custard) one quart of milk
and six eggs; beat we'll together;
add two-thirds cup white sugar /;
pour over bread when d ne; turn
on another dish cut in slices
when cold.
STEwED OYsTERs.-Drain the
liquor from two quarts Of firm,
plump oysters, mix with it a
small teacup of hot water, add a
little salt and pepper, and set
over the fire IN a saucepan.
When it Doiis, add a large cup
full of rich milk. Let it boil up
once, add the oysters, let them
boil five minutes. When they
rufie, add two tablespoons but
ter, and the instant it is melted,
and well stirred in, take off the
fire.
To MAKE TouGH BEEF Ten
DER.-To those who have worn
down their teeth masticating
poor, old, tough COW beef, we
will say that carbonate of soda
will be found a remedy for the
evil. Cut your steaks the day
before using into slices about two
inches thick; rub them over with
a small quantity of soda, wash
off next morning, cut it into
suitable thickness and cook to
notion. The same process will
answer for fowls, legs of mutton,
etc. Try it all who love delici-
Gus, tender dishes Of meat.

Work For Women.

1t is sad to think that women
should be compelled to earn
their own living in the fields.
God made man physically strong
and better adopted to the hard
duties of the field and the expo
sures incident to agricultural Ia
bors. It is not a law of nature
that women should earn their
living by the sweat of their brow,
but such is their fate in most
uncivilized countries. The cry
is coming up, even here, from
every part of this once happy
land, the paradise of women
where plenty once reigned, give
us work, as we must struggle for
existence. Agricultural pursuits
engross the greater proportion
of our population, hence there
are but few manufactures suited
to the feeble strength Of women
and children. But still, there
are many manufactures of small
things that might be established
at a small cost. which might
give employment to thousands.
Straw plating, for example, is a
light and easy work 100000
straw hats were made IN Massa
chusetts in 1865, giving employ
ment to ten thousand of her peo-
Pile. Rye straw is generally used
after being cut, soaked in water
and then dried. 1t is said that
in Philadelphia $6,OOO,OoO are
annually made in straw goods
alone, and 81 to So is made per
week by the operators. Willows,
which grow abundantly in the
South, might be converted into
baskets by the women and chill
dren. For the finer kinds OF
baskets, some instructions, with
a set of tools costing about So,
would be necessary. Canning
fruits, making preserves, j%ellies,
pickles, and syrups for sale, is
another branch Of industry in
which females might be employ
ell to great advantage, not only to
themselves, but to the proprie-
tor of such an establishment.
Many such arc established north
of this, by which large fortunes
are annually made, giving m
ployment to thousands Of indi-
gent, helpless women. In this
region, and the South generally,
all our fruits are wasted after
what are consumed on the plan
tations, except such apples as
can be kept W. during the
winter. There is little or no
sale for them here, as most peo-
pie raise their own, and they
will not bear transportation to a
distant market. Cotton seems
to be on the brain of all plant
e1s and all men Of means who
are inclined to turn their capt.
tai into increasing wealth. The
citizens Of Charlotte and the
farmers of Meek lenburg r con-
sidered tile most enter prislng and
energetic in the State. Cannot
some young men of means, en-
lowed with native energy, in
vestigate this subject, and leave
the old beaten track OF their
fathers, and open up some new
branch of industry, which, if
properly managed, would no
doubt reward their labors richly,
and be hailed as a pioneer or
introduction Of a change calcu-
lated to enhance the value Of all
real estate ten fold more speedily
than the introduction of foreign
labor, so much advocated by the
press generally.-Southern Home.
