CURE OF HiccUPs.-A cnrions case has just
occurred at the Childrens Hospital in Paris A
few days ago girl Of twelve was at school, and
during a thunder storm the electric fluid fell
close to her. For moment sue seemed to be
suffocating, but this sensation soou passed of
into fit Of hiccups. These became SO distress
ing that after three days the mother took her to
the hospital for advice. The surgeon ordered
her to be taken To the operating theatre, where,
on seeing the medical man standing at q table
covered with some awful looking instruments,
and surrounded by number of assistants in
white aprons, the child became SO terrified that
she forgot her hiccups. which did not recon
mence, and she was thus cured.-LondoR Stas

GOOD WINTER FLOWERS.

Sweet Alyssum is q very suitable plant for
indoor blooming in winter, and the delicate
fragrance and modest beauty of these flowers
make them q favOrite in the construction of boz
quets. Small plants from the garden may be
potted in the fall, and placed in rather cool
situation in the house or greenhouse, where
they will bloom during the winter and spring,
when they may be planted in open border again
Another method is to sow the seed in pots in
September, which will produce plants for win
ter Towering. Mignonette may be similarly
treated. September is q suitable time for SOW
ing seeds of Perennials, as Digitais, Delphinium,
Rocket, Dianthus, Sweet William, Stocks, &c.
On the approach of srvere weather the youn g
plants should be protected by covering of for
est leaves, pine boughs, long manure, &c. Plants
raised in this way will be excellent for Towering
the following season. Early fall is also good
time for preparation of hanging baskets for
home decoration in winter. Planting so many
plants in comparatively small bulk of soil, rs is
generally the case in hanging baskets, is at the
expense Of the vitality of the plants, for the soil
becomes exhausted, and the plants sooner or later
suffer for nourishment. For this reason the soil
for baskets should be concentrated as possible,
sometimes prove beneficial. Many of the small
delicate growing plants and trailers are among
the most beautiful and appropriate for basket
purposes, and although simple in themselves,
when placed in tasteful combination they make
a very pleasing effect. For the OTTER edges Of
the baskets, suitable for the house, Ivies in va
riety, Cerastium tOrmentosum, Tradescsntia in
variety, Wax Pink. the various kinds of Sedum,
Plant, Smilax, Lobelias. Sc, are very appropri-
ate and pretty. For the centres of the baskets
Golden Tricoior and Silver.leaved Gerauiums,
las Mrs. Pollock, NJ. of Snow, Happy Thought,
&c.) some of the dwarf-growing Zonale Gerani.
ums, -Coleus, Achyranthes, &C., are suitable, Oh
serving when two or more snch are used Il
choose as large range of color As possible, thus
making finer contrast. Some Of the stronger
growing creeping plants and trailefs are apt to
encroach upon those which are more delicate
hiding them from view. Care should be taken
to separate them, and allow a free circulation OF
air thronghout.-C 4. Mclean in the Eraminer

HEN ROOSTS.

occasion to give him a new idea
He was putting in his roosts in the
old-fashioned way, one being above
the other on an angle of about for
ty-ire degrees. In this way the
fowls are led to attempt to all get
upon the highest roost, and as it
gets full, the weak ones are crowd
ed off and fall to the ground; they
begin again to climb up. only to re-
peat the same performance, until it
gets SO dark that they have to stop
climbing. resting content upon u

WHAT A NAIL MACHINE SUG-
GESTED TO THOUGHT
Full MAN.

Burdette, of the Burlington
Ha'ckeye, has been visiting a mai
factory in Ashland, Ky, and was SC
much impressed with the wonder.
ful ingenuity and accuracy of the
machinery, that he wrote as follows:
"Why, the machine that makes
the nail ought to be allowed to vote.
1t ought to be sent to Congress. II
ever one of the machines in the
Norton Mills runs for Congress, /
will go back to Ashland and vote
for it. 1t would make good Con-
gresham. 1t can make good nails,
and can make them to perfection,
and it doesn't try to do anything
else. 1 watched one of them for an
hour, and it went on all the time,
making good, useful, perfect nails.
1t never once talked politics. 1t
never went out to take a drink. It
never wanted to introduce a bill to
make the government issue four
hundred billions of kegs of nails,
and loan them to the people who
want to build chicken houses. 1t
didn't say that it thought nails
should be remonetized and made a
legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private. 1t didn't
say that the country would never be
prosperous until we had an incon-
vertible currency of shingle nails,
secured by bonded fund of rail-
road spikes. 1t just made nails.
And it made them well. 1t knew
it could make nails, and SO it just
went ahead and made them.
Now, / once knew a man who
made shoes. He could cobble a
pair of old shoes, too. He could
sew on an invisible patch with yell
low thread, so that it would look
like sunrise on the Ohio. How he
could make shoes! Well, sir, one
day that man dropped his wax in
handful of pegs, laid down the ham,
mer, and got to telling what the
Government ought to do, and what
Congress ought to do, and what he
would do if he were there, and the |
first thing he knew they sent him
to Congress. He used to charge |
only ten cents for sewing on patch |
as big as Il tifty-cent piece, and only |
twenty for new heel, and fifty |
cents for half-soles. And he pound
ed leather all day for about one dol
lar and eighty-fve cents. And the !
very first day he was in Congress
he introduced bill for the coinage
of $4,000, 600, 900, ,000, ,OOO. 900, 600,
in one dollar greenbacks, with
provision that the amount should
be doubled if it should appear that
the sum originally specified in the
bill was insufficient to meet the de-
mands of trade.
And yet that man could make
good shoes.
That's what ] liked about the
nail machine. 1t did what it could
10 best.
Therefore, suppose now every
man in Congress was a nail ma
chine, and could cut abont FIVE
