Tetanus, or Lockjaw.

Scarcely week passes that there is
not report, in the newspapers, of some
one who has died of tetanus, commonly
called loekjaw, brought out by some
sharp instrument being stuck in the
body !; usually nail in the foot. Usual
ly such wounds will prove harmless if
the following liniment be properly APP
piled ozs. alcohol; 2ozs. oil of organ
um 1-2oz. tincture of camphor. was
once called to see boy twenty four hours
after he had stuck rusty nail in his
foot. He appeared to be in intense ago.
ny and his foot was considerably swol-
len. opened the wound SO that serum
flowed little from it, but not more than
two or three drops of blood. / wet the
wound with the liniment, and then
folded piece of soft Gotten cloth, eight
ply, and thoroughly saturated it with
the liniment and bound it on the wound
giving instructions to renew the appli-
cation every two hours till relief be CIV
en-. In six hours called to see the boy
and he was out in the yard playing, and
suffered no more from the wound.
The liniment is good for any fresh
wound on man or beast, and every fam
lily ought to keep bottle of it. L do
not affirm that in every case it will pre-
vent lockjaw; but do believe that IL
properly used, lockjaw would seldom
occur. In an experience of many years
have not known of case where the
liniment was used. The liniment ought
to be used till cure is effected.

The Pulse In Health and Disease.

Many erroneous impressions prevail
about the pulse as indicative of health
or disease, q common notion being that
Its beatings are much more regular and
uniform than they really are. Frequen-
cy varies with age. In the newborn
infant the beatings are from 1870 to 14O
to the minute; in the second year, from
100 to 115. from the seventh year to the
fourteenth year, from so to 90; from
the fourteenth to the twenty-first year
from rs to So {; from the twenty-first to
the sixtieth year from 20 to rs. After
that period the pulse is generally thought
to decline, but medical authorities differ
radically on this point, having express
ed the most contradictory opinions.
Young persons are often found whose
pulses are below go, and there have been
many instances of pulses habltually
reaching 100,or not exceeding 40, with
out apparent disease. Sex, especially in
adults, influences the pulse, which in
women is from 10 to IA beats to the
minute more rapid than in men of the
same age. Muscular exertion, even po-
sition, materially affects the pulse. Its
average frequency in healthy men of 27
is when standing, 81, when sitting, II
when lying, 60 per minute in women
of the same age in the same position, 81
"a and 70. In sleep the pulse is in gen.
eral considerably slower than during
wakefulness. In certain diseases, acute
dropsy of the brain, for example, there
may be 100 even 200 beats in other
kinds of diseases, such as apoplexy and
some organic affections of the heart,
there may be no more than 20 to 80 to
the minute. Thus, one of the common-
est diagnostic signs is liable to deceive
the most experienced practitioners.

Not a Beverage.

I" They are not IA beverage, but a medi-
cine, with curative properties of the
highest degree, containing no poor
whiskey or poisonous drugs. They do
not tear down an already debilitated

tains more hops, that is more real hop

Storing Onions.

During the Winter onions should be
kept in cool dry place, free from hard
frost. 1t will do no harm If the ther-
mometer should sink few degrees be-
low freezing point in the storeroom but
by repeated hard frosts and thawings
they become soft and unfit for use. They
may be stored in dry cellar in barrels
which are perforated with airholes.
They will thus be ready to ship, as soon
as spring opens, without any further
trouble, or they may be placed on a
barn floor underneath which it cannot
freeze and covered with hay. Large
quantities should never be stored during
Winter in an unsuitable place, and they
must be thoroughly dry.

the more they eat and BEAUTIFULLY digest
the greater are the owners profits. Cut

The New York Caronicle Of the sixteenth III

The New York Chronicle Of the sixteenth In
slant says:
The past week has witnessed fair move
ment In both domestic and foreign dry goods
from first hands, but there was less buoyancy
ia the demand than has som etifnes been OBJ
served at this time Of year, owing probably to
the fact that i0bbers have not vet distributed
their heavy purchases Of last May and June.
Operations in staple cotton goods, flannels
printed calicoes dragged somewhat; but such
fall goods as Worsted and cotton dress fabrics,
ginghams, shawls, skirts, hosiery, knit under
wear, etc, were In liberal request There was
a further slight Improvement In the jobblng
branches of the trade, and in this connection
the volume Of business was fairly satisfactory
for this early stage Of the season. Values
were maintained with o fair degree Of steadi-
ness by manufacturers agents and importers
but some cutting on brown and bleached
cOttOnS was reSOrted to by jObber5 In order to
give an impetus to business.
Prices OF cotton goods were fairly steady,
but their upward tendency has apparently
been checked by the late decrease Ia the de-
mand and the decline In the staple. Brown
cOttonS were In moderate request and steady
in first hands, but some makes We're jobbed at
relatively low figures Bleached cottOns re-
NAMED sluggish, and corset jeans quiet but
there was fair demand for such colored cot
tons as ducks, denlrns, ticks and cheviOts.
Print cloths were In moderate request at
i1l6c cash for G4y6fs, and B &c cash to 3 9 16c
ieSS | per cent, for JGx60S. Prints We're quiet
aside from a few ct the most popular makes,
which met with a fair di5trIbuti0Dl, but ging
hams and cotton dress goods continued fairly
active.

The New York World has the following on

expectation Of live cattle and dead meats
from this country to the mother country:
Mail advices represent the cattle markets Of
Great Britain as depressed generally, Ameri-
can beef sides, slaughtered at Liverpool and
American refrigerator beef at 3lad0fd per
pound. Later reports by cable are scarcely
less discouraging. II these reports be exact
lY true, the losses must be heavy to our ex-
porters, both on live cattle and On dressed
beef. Such beef as is sent to England In re-
frigerator- boxes Is worth here in Washing
ton market to-day and 81 cents per pound
and beef from extra cattle sold from uptown
slaughter houses this morning at cents per
pound.
