How TO CURE A CoLD.-On the first
day of taking cold there is a very un-
pleasant sensation of chillness. The
moment you observe this go to your
room and stay there; keep it at such a
temperament as will entirely prevent
this chilly feeling, even if il requires
hundred degrees of Fahrenheit. In
addition, put your feet in water, hall
leg deep, as hot as you can bear it,
adding hot water from time TO time
for 3 quarter of an hour, so that the
water shall be hotter when you take
.yOur feet out than when you put them
in; then dry them thoroughly and
put on warm, thick stockings, even if
it be summer, for summer colds are
the most dangerous; and tor twenty
four hours eat not an atom of food
but drink as largely as you desire OF
any kind OF warm teas, and at the end
of that time, If not sooner, the cold will
be effectually broken without any med
icine whatever.

Finding "GIrr' In the Bible.

An English town missionary, short
time ago, related remarkable incl
dent. There was lodging house in his
district, which he had long desired
to enter, but was deferred from so do
ing by a friend, who feared that his
life would be endangered. He became
at length so uneasy that he determined
to risk all consequences and try to gain
admission. So one day he gave some
what timid knock at the door, in re-
sponse to which a coarse voice roared
out, "Who's there?" and at the same
moment vicious looking woman open
ed the door and ordered the man Of
God away.
Let him come in, and see who he is
anu what he wants." growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked
In, and bowing politely to. the rough
looking man whom he had just hear l
speak, said:
81 have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood to read
with the people and talk about good
things. have passed your door as long
as [ feel | ought, for | wish TO talk
with you and your lodgers."
care you what is called the town
missionaryr"
II am, SIR" was the reply,
"Well, then," said the fierce looking
man, "sit down and hear what l am
going to say. l will ask you a question
out of the Bible. If you answer me
right, you may call at this house, and
rsad and pray with us or our dodgers
as often as you like: if you do not ans
wer right, we will tear your clothes
offyour back and tumble you neck and
heels into the street. Now what do
you say to that? for | am man of my
word.
The missionary was perplexed, but
at length quietly said:
81 will try"
"Well, then," said the man, "here
goes. Is the word girl in any part of
the Bible? If so, where is it to be
found, and how often? That is my
question"
"Well, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, but only once, and may be found
in the words Of the prophet Joel, iii, 8
The words are, And sold the girl for
wine, that they might drink"
"Well," replied the man; ''I'm dead
beat: burst to have bet five pounds
you could not have told"
''And 1 could not have tod yester-
day said the visitor. "For several days
1 have been praying that the Lord
would open me way into this house,
and this very morning, when reading
the scriptures in my family, was sur
prised to find the word girl, and got
the Concordance to see if it occurred
again, and found it did not. And,
now, sir, believe that God did know,
an does kne what will come to pass
AMI surely His hand is in this for my
rejection and your good"
The whole of the inmates were great
ly surprised, and the incident has
been over-ruled to the conversion of
the man. his wife and two of the
lod. ers.

WIZ AND HUMOR.

RATS UNDER THE LEAVEs.-The 9TH
er morning an orphan was abroad on
Cass avenue, Detroit. The sun had
scarcely risen when he rolled barrel
of water-lime not yet unheaded from
in front of new building down the
street to a large pile of leaves, aud IN
ten minutes the barrel was deitly and
neatly hidden from sight. A Pawnee
Indian out on the war path might have
suspected "old hat" hidden there but
no white man ever could. When his
work was done tho poor orphan walk
ell away about half block and sat
down In front ota house. The frosty
air had just begun to make his teeth
click together when a mi!kman drove
up and rang his bell. After he had
delivered the milk he noticed the boy
and asked:
"Bub, Why are you sitting here in
the coldt'
'l'm waiting to see the rats come
ont from that pile of leaves there" re-
piled the boy.
Rats under the leaves! Well I'll
fetch 'em out mighty quick!"
He seized the reins, gave the horse IA
sharp cut and headed him for the rats
nest. The wagon struck the heap,
rose up, and next instant lay broad
side on the pavement, while milk
jumped In all directions, The driver
scrambled u2, caught and quieted the
horse and then looked around for the
orphan. No one was in sight. If he
could have seen around corner and
down in an alley he would have be-
held Il boy crawling through hole in
the fence, but he couldn't haze caught
him-not by Il ing-full.

IT'S known that the Russian and
Prussian Governments have adopted a
kind of biscuit for horses containing
much nutritive matter in small volume.
According 10 La Nature, the biscuilS
are formed of the meal of oats, peas,
and linseed. The various combinations
have been studied with care, ana 4 mix
ture has been obtained of such a de-
scription that one kilogramme of it is
equal TO five kilogrammes of oats. 1t
has been found that horses bear fatigue
better and are more vigorous when fed
with these biscuits than when fed with
oats. The biscuits can be threaded to-
gether by means of an iron wire; and
in this way a horse may carry his own
food for four or five days. During the
late war with Turkey, Russia used
twenty millions of these biscuits, and
the results were so good that the au-
thorities have continued their use in
time of peace.

WINTER LETIUCE.-Lettuce Is one of
the few vegetables that one might have
the whole year-and we think IL Is eat
en- with better relish in the winter
and early spring than at any other time.
The system seems then TO demand va
variety and change-wheu the cold Is
relaxing, the days lengthening, and
the warmth increasing. Every family
that has little garden spot can enjoy
the luxury with very little trouble.
All that is necessary is 10 build a frame
of coarse boards, cover II with close
ly-titting glass sash, and place it In a
sunny spot-somewhat protected. In
this, plant the lettuce-setS. about six
inches apart, in good ground, and keep
them properly wa!ered. They will
grow all winter, and in the early spring
will form beautiful large heads TO en-
courage the appetite and grace the ia
bic. The earlier in the autumn this
operation is begun the better. The
Brown Dutch and Hammersmith Hardy
Green are the best varieties for winter
use. The seeds should be SOwn in Sep
tember, and are so hardy that if plan
ted in sheltered situation and pro-
tected by a loose covering of straw and
evergreen boughs, they will stand the
winter well. If transplanted Ina cold
frame, as suggested above, they will do
better and produce more tender, deli
cate, and larger heads.

FARM AND GARDEN.

WHEN To Apply MANURE.-The COM
mon practice among farmers is to make
general clearing of the yards and
barn cellars once a year, either in the
spring or fall. Either practice makes
heavy draft upon the teams, and it
has its disadvantages. If this work Is
done in thesp.ing, 1t is when the ground
is soft, and other work exceedingly
pressing. If the manure is drawn out
in the fall, and dropped In heaps upon
the field to be cultivated next season,
there Is more or less waste by teaching
and by evaporation. There is grow
ing disposition among our intelligent
farmers to apply manure directly to
growing crops, or as near the time OF
planting and sowing as possible. 1t is
felt that the sooner manure is put With
in reach of the roots of plants, the bet
ter for the crops and their owner.
Manure is so much capital invested,
and bears interest only as 1t is consum-
ed in the soil. The barn cellar may be
so managed as TO manufacture ana urn
out fertililizers every month i'll the
year, so that the farmer may suit his
convenience In applying them TO the
soil. When manure Is not wanted Tor
cultivated crops, it Is always safe 10 ap-
ply it to the grass crop, either in pas
lures or upon meadows after moving.
Top-dressing is growing In favor with
our Intelligent farmers. Grass pays
better than almost any farm crop III the
older States, and the spreading of COM
post saves the necessity of frequent
blowing and seeding. BY top-dressing
at any convenient season OF the year,
fields may be kept proiitably IN grass
for an indefinite time.

A HEAVY GRANT DEFEAT.

THE SECOND ACT IN THE DAY sEssION-GENERAL
SHARPE, IN THE INTEREST or THE GRANT
FACTION, CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS BEFORE THE
UNIT RULE is BRoKEN-HIs MOTION REJECTED
BY A MAJORITY OF 2O3-TnE ADOPTION OF
TIRE PLATFoRM-THE LAST OF THE UNIT RULE
IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRTBUNR.l
CHICAGO, June 6.-The report of the Committee
on Credentials having been disposed of. the report
of the Committee on Rules was called up in accord
ance with the understanding arrived at before the
contested seat cases were taken up. The rules were
read and also the minority report of nine States
against the new anti-unit rule. General Sharpe
said the delay asked for by the minority
was that justice might be done. He said that he
was surprised not to see General Garfield move the
adoption Of the minority report instead of
the majority one. He said that the
Convention had been in session three days and no
such embarrassments as General Garfield had feared
had arisen not single delegation here had un-
dertaken to question the correctness of the state
nent of its vote by its chairman. Turning to the
Convention, he said that the battle was formed
each side WAS ready, and the people were watch
inc, all that could be done on the
,kirmish line had been DONE and they were
standing In the ranks of battle. Then he precipl-
tated upon the Convention resolution providing
that it should proceed immediately to tho nomlna-
ton of a President. The trick was instantly ap-
parent. If the Grant men could force the Conven-
tion to ballot for President before the rules were
adopted. there would be no previous question and
no anti.unit rule debate could be prolonged by the
Grant men without limit; and Senator Conkling and
Senator Cameron could if they chose, cast the solid
votes of their States for Grant without encounter
