How TO CHECK CoUeHs.-Dr. Brown Se'
guard, in his late Boston lectures, says that
there are many facts which show that morbid
phenomena of respiration can always be
stopped by the influence of arrest. Coughing
for instance, can be stopped by pressing the
nerves of the lip in the neighborhood of the
nose. A pressure there may prevent cough
when it is beginning Sneezing may be stopped
by the same mechanism. Pressing in the
neighborhood of the ear, right in front of the
ear, may stop coughing. 1t is also preventive
of hiccough, but much less so than of sneez'
ing or coughing. Pressing very hard on the
top of the mouth, inside, is also means OF
stopping coughing.

ALUM IN CHRONIC DYsENTERY.-In ar
obstinate case of this disease, Doctor Nader
a Russian physician, treated his patient with
a solution of alum, which was injected into
his bowels Immediately after each evacuation
and which he was directed to retain as long
as he could. This remedy proved successful
the patient only complaining of burning
pain in the rectum while it was being thrown
up, but feeling much relieved afterward. The
motions then gradually began to present q
Setter appearance no more blood or pus was
noticed in them; they became more solid
and fortnight after the first injection had
been administered the patient was dismissed
as cured. The strength of the solution wa:
four teaspoonfuls of alum to pint of cold
water.

BALKY HoRsEs.-The Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals recommends
the following rules for the treatment Of balky
horses .~E'Sg4fa iSE-FE2
1. Pat the horse upon the neck, examine
the harness carefully, first on one side then
on the other, speaking encouragingly while
doing so then jump into the wagon and give
the word go; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him 60 round in cir
cle If the first dance of this kind doesn't
cure him, the second will be sure to do it.
3. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut off
the wind till he wants to 90, and then let him
60. =. 80 '..'.<
4. The brains of horses seem to entertain
but one idea at p time; thus continued whip
ping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If
you can by any means give him a new sub
ject to think Of, you will have no trouble in
starting him. A simple remedy is to take
couple of turns of stout twine around the
fore.leg, just below the knee, and tie in a bow
knot At the first check he will 60 dancing
I off, and, after going short distance, you
can get out and remove the string to prevent
injury to the tendon in your further drive.

For WEAK EyEs.-A very simple remedy
for weak eyes is recommended by physician
as follows: Get an ounce of elder flowers and
steep in one gill of water-they must be steep
ed in brigh tin and earthenware; strain we'll
and then add three drops of laudanum bot
tie it tight, and keep in a cool place, then use
it as wash, letting some of it get in the eyes
Follow this and relief is certain. If the
eyes are painful or much sore, make small
soft congresses, wet in the mixture, and bind
over the eyes at night. If the eyes are badly
inAamed use it freely and a tea made of Ell.
der flowers and drunk, would help to cleanse
the blood. Pure rock salt and water will
strengthen your eyes if you battle them daily
in it.
Where the eyes are severely taxed by ones
occupation, it is well to wash or dash them
with water as hot as it can be borne, finishing
the process by few handfuls of cold water
to produce reaction. This just before retiring
is strongly recommended by physician Of ex'
tensive experience, and has been found very
eficacious.

COOKED OR UNcooKED FooD.-Professor
Harrington, of the Maine State Agricultural
College, has just concluded series Of exper-
iments which were begun nine years ago by
Samuel johnson, then farm superintendent,
for the purpose of ascertaining the relative
feeding value of cooked and uncooked meal
for swine The trials have been carried on
several months each year, the greatest care
being taken that no food should be wasted,
but that the pigs should be fully supplied.
The raw meal was simply mixed with cold
water and fed Immediately, except in very
cold weather, when it wasgiven slightly warm.
The result is wholly in favor of the uncooked
meal for feeding. The Professor says that
these experiments prove that the labor and
fuel required for cooking food is more than
thrown away. This accords with opinions we
have held for long time, and our practice
has been confined wholly to uncooked food
for more than twenty years. We are not par
ticular to mix the meal and water only as it
becomes mixed in the trough by pouring milk
or water upon the meal.-New England
Farmer.

The Whirlirig of Fortune.

A striking instance of the vicissitudes
of business life is exhibited in the follow
ing story told by L Boston paper: In 4
large retail dry goods house in this city
are two persons who, few years since,
occupied very different positions. One, 4
man over fifty years Of age, is salesman
on salary of less than one thousand
dollars year; the other, a young man
of siX-and-twenty years of age. receives
a salary of upward of twenty-five hun
dred dollars. Five years ago, the sales
man was partner in wholesale con-
Germ that went into insolvency and out
of existence, each Gartner Of which was
left without dollar for the support OF
his family. The young man had occu-
pied humble position in that concern,
and one cold day he allowed his dinner
to get scorched while warming at the
furnace in the basement. Soon The
smell of burnt meat went up into the
counting-room, which so exasperated
our salesman that he rushed down stairs,
and seizing the offender by the collar,
brought him up and elected him from
the store. Such severe treatment made
the lad feel rather I" cut up" us he was
the principal support of an invalid
mother. Not long afterward, however,
he attracted the attention Of his present
employer, who engaged him at fair
salary, which he kept increasing until
his present handsome position. Thus,
from the changes and depressions of
trade, the young man is up and the
elder one is down.

Losing Her Life but Saving Her Child.

II. l.. Skinner, Secretary of the Ameri-
can Emigrant Company, and his son, Il
youth, were fixing a cistern pump at
Des Moines, H., and lifted the cover OF
the cistern, about ten inches square.
Into the opening an adopted daughter, a
babe, niece of Mrs. Skinner, fell. The
mother, terrorized by the cry of the
child, tried to plunge after it in the
water, eight feet deep. and was kept
back by the husband; but while he
went to give the alarm to the neighbors
she leaped in. The son followed, and
saw his mothers hands reaching out of
the water. Adjusting n rope about the
neck of the babe, which was drawn out
and resuscilated, with one arm fast to y
rope, the boy grasped his mothers float
ing hair and drew her to the surface.
She exclaimed: 81 have saved herm
The.ropc was lowered again and q slip
moose fastened on his arm, disabling it
from supporting his mother; and be-
coming exhausted he was forced to let
90 of her, and he was drawn out and
two lives were saved. A young man,
an expert in water, plunged in, recov-
cred the woman, and adjusted rope
about her and she was drawn out, but
life was gone.

CamelS in Arizona.

Some two years since herd Of camels
was driven to Yuma county, Arizona,
with the intent to render them servic:lblc
in the Territory us beasts of burden. AS
the expectation formed of them was not
realized, they were turned loose by their
owners to roam eastward along the Gila
river ut their own ruminating will. They
appear to have enjoyed their liberty, and
to have profited by it. Not only have
they thriven as though they had been in
their native Africa, but they have bred
literally, and seem to have become do
mesticated to the region. 1t is thought
that the new generation of camels will be
thoroughly acclimated, and used to the
alkaline waters peculiar to that section.
The waterless desert of Sonora, to the
south and southeast of Yuma county,
contains vast deposits of salt, sulphur,
boraX and soda, with immense mineral
ores in the mountains. These camels
may yet be employed to advantage in
transporting those products, for they can
20 without water rs neither horses nor
mules can. AS is well known, the inside
of their second stomach and Of Il portion
of their first stomach is lined with cells
in which water is stored up and retained,
enabling them to endure long drought.
1t would be singular if the rejected and
wandering camels should yet be found to
be the best means of developing the re-
sources of Sonora and much Of the coun-
try roundabout. Nevertheless, it would
be only one of many instances in which
apparent accident has succeeded where
desi gn has failed.

HThe Empire State"

A Brooklyn correspondent OF the
Magazi1ac of America1a History says: 1t is
known but to very few persons that the
name or soubriquct of the State of New
York, which is generally called the
Empire State" is not assumed by our
citizens out of State pside, but was
given by General Washington.
The proof of this may be found in his
reply to the address of the Common
Council of the city of New York, signed
by james Duane, mayor, and dated the
I'd day of December, 1884. In this letter
he says: Il pray that heaven may
bcstow its choicest blessing on your
citv.-that the devastation of war in
which you found it may soon be without
a trace. That Il we'll regulated and bene-
fetal commerce may enrichen your cltl-
zenS-and that your State Cat present
the seat of the empire) may set such eX,
amples of wisdom and liberality us shall
have Il tendency to strengthen and give
u pcrmanency to the Union at home.

grass, while one portion made Il dcSper-
ate rush and succeeded in getting posses
sion of q small hill commanding the
cattle laager. 1t was necessary to dis
lodge the enemy from the hill, and
Major Hackett and two companies OF
the Ninetieth were sent out, and al
though they suffered severely they sue
ceeded in doing so, firing Volley alter
vollcy and at last charging the position
ut the point Of the bayonct. In bringing
back his men Major Hackett was fatally
wounded and Lieutenant Bright was
killed. During all this time fighting
had been going on all round, and party
of Zulus made q desperate rush and got
into the cattle laager, driving company
of the Thirteenth out of it. They, how
ever, gallantly reformed and CALAMITY
drove back the enemy at the p0int of
the bayonet. The artillery all the while
had been pouring grape and canister
into the Zulus with murdcrouS pre-
cision. BY about 5 o'clock the enemy
evidently began to see we were not to
be taken, and began to slacken their fire,
ultimately retiring altogether. AT $50
=. NJ. they had fired their last shots and
began to retreat, and the cavalry and
horse artillery were sent after them;
Terrible execution was the result, and
no quarter was shown. Exeter Hall
may say what it may, but it was death
to every Zulu who came within range
of the carbine of Il trooper or the stroke
of his saber. The cavalry pursued them
for about ten miles, returning to camp
ut dusk. The few native allies we had
left did terrible work in this pursuit,
and it was difficult for our officers to re-
call them to return. AS they cut oil and
dispatched the retreating Zulus the cry
of Isandhlwana" resounded in the

Fun with the Bears,

Nobody who visits the Geological
Garden goes away without seeing the
bears, and from looking at them the
desire to see them eat is us natural as
second thought. There are three bear
pits containing altogether eight bears.
In the first pit are two cinnamon bears,
noted for their laziness and their dis
position for climbing the artificial trees
placed there for their benefit, and falling
asleep on the loftiest perch in the sun.
The next pit contains two huge grizzlies,
and the third four black bears. This
last pit is the chief center of interest.
The black bears stand on their hind legs
as erect as the stump of Il tree, fold their
fore paws across their breasts, and open
ing their mouths rs wide as possible,
look up at the spectators. mutely appeal
ing to them to drop something good in
them. This is the critical moment.
There is q rush of men, women and
children for apples, peanuts, ginger
cakes, sugar-cakes and bananas, and the
bears thrOats become Il target for the
skill of old and young. 1t is like an ex-
citing game of baseball. When i pea
nut or ginger-cake is dropped into a
bears mouth, the feat is hailed with uni
versal applause. The bears are partial
to ginger er-cakes.-PhilatlelphtG Times.
