REMEDIES FOR HEADACHE The fol-
lowing recipes and suggestions for
the treatment Of different forms Of
headache are collected from a variety
of trustworthy sources: Two grains
citrate OF caffeine, III capsule, taken
every half hour, is a very effectual
remedy in nervous and siok headache.
One or two doses are often sufficient to
give common relief. Tho only obIec-
ton to it's use is slccplcsahess, which
sometimes results if it. Ia taken in the
evening. 1t is preferable to guarana,
as being hardly ever rejected Dy tho
stomach. Tho following, according
to w. W. Carpenter, Is very effcctual
In most forms Of headache: Murlate
Of ammonia, drachms; acetate Of
morphia, grain; citrate of caffeine,
80 grains; aromatic spirits ofammonia
drachm; elixir Of guarana, / ounces,
rose-water, ou nces. Mix. Dessert
spoonful every ten or twelve III minutes.
In nervous headache, DR.. w. a. Ham,
mond states the value Of various drugs
as follows: OXido Of zinc is Of
great value. Ordinary dose,
grains tJreo times day, sitter meals :;
maximum grains. Its best to give in
form Of pills. Nux vomtca is prefer
abe to strychnia. The dose is q grain
after meals. If the patient be chLloric,
1t is well to combine grain OF reduced
iron and half grain Of sulphate or
quininc. Bismuth in tho form Of SUBJ
carbonate, will often tako the place of
zinc. Dose, two grains, after each
meat. Bismuth probably aids diges-
ton more than any mineral tonic, and
is OF nsc when there is gastric disturb
ance. The bromidos are scrviccable
when tho nervous system has been
irritated; when 1T is exhausted they
40 harm. Phosphorus is very useful
In most forms OF nervous headache.
The best results arc obtained from di-
luted ph osphorIc acid, in doses OF 80
drops, largely diluted, three times n
day, after eating, or lhosphide of
Zinc, one-tcnth grain In pill, three
times day. Arsenic, as nerve
tonic, stands next in value to zinc.
Dose, drops Of Fow]er's solution

An Adventure at La chino Rapids.

Canadian tourists, or those famili ar
with the river st. Lawrence, need not
to be told Of the picturesque danger of
the Lac hine rapids. Many traditions
and some authentic stories az represented
OF luckless persons who have been en-
gulfed there, and the "shooting" Of the
rapids even by skilltul pilots is always
an anxious and delicate piece Of work.
Another sad example was recently
aided to The record of Calamities at this
celebrated locality. In this case, as in
others, the presence and cxertions of a
famous pilot--named Daillebout in the
present mstanee-tailed to avert the
catastrophe. Ten lumbprmen, under
Daillebout's command. started early in
the morning from Caughnawaga vii
lage to make the descent OF the Lachine
rapids. Another raft under Baptiste,
also wellknown pilot, set out ut the
same time from the same place; and
those who were on board the last raft
saw all that happened to the crew Of
the first one.
IL seems thuC, by some mischance,
Dalllebout swung his raft out of the
right channel at critical moment
Before he and his men could retrieve
their error their control Of the raft was
gone. In a few minutes they we're
driven with awful velocity into the
vortex OF foaming waters that the
tourists steamers pass through when
running the rapids. Those steamers,
steercd with matcAless dexterity, and
having their engines to steady their
course, get through habitually in safe
ty. But with raft, having nothing
but human strength to shape the
course, 1T Is, Of course, far different.
In this case the frail structure was
rolled over and over and hurled In
every direction. She had to go through
mile Of tumbling, soothing waters
for the most part indeed half a catarrct
before she or any fragments of her
could emerge into the smooth safety of
the river below. The spectators saw
moving and extraordinary sight. Logs
sixty feet long were tossed in the air
like so many twigs. Piece by piece the
could aid her wretched crew, and it
seemed inevitable that theyImustlperish
to man.
But 1T was otherwise decreed. Des-
pite this amazing ordeal, and despite
most Of their number being frlghtfully
bruised, eight of the eleven occupants
Of the raft went through the rapids
alive. Not only that but they managed
to cling to portions of their shatterd
bark so as to be rescued at last by their
brother lumbcrmen who had seen with
out being able to aid them in their
peril. The remaining three raftsmen
pershcd; and the wonder Is, according
to the reports that have reached us.
that there should have been any sur
vIvors at all from a catastrophe which
In most cases has usually been fatal to
every man concerned.

AGRICULTURE.
LARGE additions may be made to thu

LARGE additions may be made to the
butter yielded from a given quantity
OF milk by heating the latter. This
cannot always be done conveniently
in large datries, but 1t is practicable
In small ones. Let the milk stand two
hours; then by placing on the stove
or cans of boiling water, let the tem-
perature rise to about 100 deg: next
put 1t away for twelve hours, more,
formed. If the milk has absorbed any
unpleasant odors In the barn, or in any
other place, they will be expelled by
this process, and tho butter will retain
its natural aroma. The butter In chur-
ming will come much quicker If treated
by this process than in any other way.
1he depth at which tho milk Is set
makes no material difference, only If q
large bulk Of milk Is set in one vessel
1t will require longer time to bring
iG up to a proper temperature, and a
longer time to cool 1T down. Some
dairymen heat the milk Immediately as
1t comes from the barn, but by this
process there Is not near the quantity
of butter obtained us if allowed TO stand
twelve hours, and besides tho skim
milk Is much superior In this latter
method over that produced by the first
named process. When MIR. Ellsworth
OF Barre was making his famous skim
cheese he heated his milk Immediately
as it came fl ON tho barn, and there is
little doubt that iG was The heating of
the milk and retention Of some OF tho
butter that gave such superiority 10
his cheese over any other ordinary
SKIM cheese.
Heating the milk when it first comes
from the barn appears 10 have the ell
ect OF coagulaung the albumen and
thus preventing the butter gloDules
from rising. A. dairyman, within the
range OF our acquaintance who used
to mako butter and sell skim milk, was
In the habit OF heating The milk az soon
as 1t came from the barn. lie had a
ready sale for skim milk, but when nc
commenced heatlng tho milk atter 1T
had stood twelve hours, none Of his
former customers desired TO purchase
any more Ot his skim milk. In large
dalrles although more butter could Du
obtained by the practices OF heating
than by the cod, uuep setting process,
yet tho extra labor required would be
no offset, Tor TIC smuII extra amount
OF buLtor obtained. 1t is All eXpcrl-
henG which could be easily tried, and

himself. The best method OF making
