Relief of Asthma.

/ In an excellent article upon "Physi-
cal Education" in the Popular Science
/ Monthly, DIR. Felix l.. Oswald throws
out hint for the relief Of asthma,
which is so simple that it is worth Il
! trial by the sufferers with that distress
/ ing disease. His remedy is a few min
utes' exercise with the balance-stick,
/ like Il broom-handle, about five or six
feet long, and one inch in diameter,
marked like a steel-yard, with notehes
at regular intervals. Then grid ten
pound weight Of any sort with piece
Of stout wire, one end Of it in book
/ form. Mr.. Oswald says; fThe eAer-
/ else consists in grasping the stick at one
end, stretching out arm and stick horl-
zontally like a rapier at a home thrust
then draw your arm back, still keeping
the stick rigidly horizontal, make your
hand touch your chin, thrust it out
again, draw back, and so on, till the
forearm moves rapidly on a steady full
crum Next load the stick. e. hook
the stone to one Of tho notches every
inch farther out will increase the ESIght
by several pounds. Hook it to one of
the middle notches and try to move
your arm as before, 1t will be hard
work now to keep the stick horizontal
eveB u strong man will find that the
effort reacts powerfully on his lungs;
he pufs as if the respiratory engine
were working under high pressure. .
The weighted stick bearing against the
sinews of the forearm overcomes the
structure of the asthmatic spasm, and,
with the aid of this mechanical pallia-
tive, the distress can be relieved before
the actual breathlessness beglGs Daily
exercises with the stick diminishes the
frequency Of the attacks, and if begun
in time, he thinks, would cure children
from the hereditary tendency to it. As
there Is no radical and complete cure
for asthma, the only hope of the suffer
er has is to palliate it, and if it can 0e
done in this simple manner, it certainly
is much more valuable than drugs or
doctors

IF short Of stock food, as many farm

Glass lars are preferred by most per-
sons and are cheapest in the end. With
care thew can be used many years,
though new rubber bands must be pro-
cured when needed In canning, sugar
should certainly be used, and il should
be Of the granulated white grades, as
poor sugar hurts the flavor Of the fruit
The rule is to put one quarter Of pound
of sugar with one pound of fruit, but
this quantity may be doubled if the
fruit be unusually acid. Some persons
think that fruit is good when canned
without sugar, but in that case 1t loses
color and firmness-
The fruit used for canning is TO be of
the best quality, and as freshly picked
a. possible. WeIl-ripened fruit, not,
however, dead-ripe and soft, is in every
way preferable In fact a cannery should
really be located near the orchards, for
there is a manifest deterioration in the
quality Of the fruit between the time it
l. picked, and the time it is ready for
the cans. Coarse-grained market-va-
rieties seldom can so well as the more
highly favored kinds.
When the fruit has been peeled and
pitted, place it in the preserving kettle,
and properly cook but it is still boiling
hot, the cans are to be filled full, to the
very brim, the elastic put on, the jar
wiped, and the top screwed down at
once, and lighted several times after
wards. As writer on the subject said
recently: Good fruit put boiling hot
into perfect cans, filed full, and sealed
up at once, will be fresh and pure when
opened, though years later" Simply
pouring boiling water over fruit does
not sufficiently expel the air. Partly
filled fruit jars VIII spoil.
Canned berries are to be put in a pre-
serving kettle, with layers ofsugar, and
boiled for from five to fifteen minutes.
The syrup can be bottled up, some oft,
for other uses. Some persons prefer to
cook berries in the jars in which
they are to be canned. In this case the
jars, filled up with fruit, are set in a
wash-boiler, on wooden stats, so as not
to touch the bottom. Cold water is
poured in until it comes close to the
rims Of the jars, and heated until the
fruit is well cooked, when the fruit in
one jar is used to fill up the others, and
they are sealed and put away. We may
add that glass jars offruit should be put
in Il dry, dark and cool place where the
temperature is equable throughout the
season.
