A VETERINARY surgeon in Rochester
declares it custom not uncommon
among horsemen who want TO sell an
inferior animal TO mix antimony, arse
mic, and various forms of mercury with
their feed. These cause them to make
fat rapidly, and become sleek and
glossy, but often result in terrible blood
poisoning, producing slow and agoniz-
ing death.
WINDOW PLANTS. The necessity of
a gradual change must be emphasized
in removing plants from the open air to
the dwelling rooms. 1t is best to place
the plants in room where there Is no
fire, and one that can be opened during
the day. After a while the plants may
be taken to the close living room, in
which there is fire.

saltpeter and sweet oil; obtain at the
druggists hve or six cents worth of
saltpeter, put into bottle with sufficient
olive oil to dissolve it; shake up well
and rub the in6amed Joints night and
morning and more frequently if painful.
This is sure remedy. Or take a small
onion, split and rub the joint with a
fresh half each night and morning. To
paint with the tincture of iodine is also
good.

GEORGE w. CHILDs, of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, and Anthony Drexel have
bought 600 acres of land, twelve miles
from Philadelphia on the Pennsylvania
Road, and propose to provide suburban
homes at nominal cost to persons of
moderate means. The town is to be
called Wayne, and the property is to be
laid out in the most attractive manner.
A part of the money will also be ad-
vanced to those of small savings who

In the first place let your 'stand," hold

thoroughly scalded out; the cutter, the
tub and the stamper also well scalded.
Take off all the outer leaves of the cab
bage, halve them, remove the heart and
proceed with the cutting. Lay some
clean leaves at the bottom of the stand,
sprinkle with a handful of salt, fill in half
a bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gently
until the juice just makes its appear
