Uses of q Sand Bag.

One of the most convenient articles to
be used in q sick-room is a sand bag
Get some clean, fine sand, dry it tho
roughly in kettle on the stove, make a
bag about eight inches square of flannel
fillit with the dry sand, sew the opening
carefully together, and cover the bag
with cotton or linen cloth. This will pre-
vent the sand from sitting out and will
also enable you to heat the bag quickly
by placing it in the oven, or even on the
top OF the stove. After once using this
you will never again attempt to warm
the feet or hands of sick person with a
bottle of hot water or brick. The sand
holds the heat long time, and the bag
can be tucked up to the back without
hurting the invalid. 1t is good plan to
make two or three of the bags and keep
them ready for ase.-N. T. Post.

Useful Hints.

The following useful hints on the sci
ence of cookery are taken from Miss Cor
sons book
Meats of any kind should not be wash
ed. but wiped with towel, to preserve
the juices and quality.
When anything is accidentally made too
salt it can be counteracted by adding a
teaspoonful of vinegar and teaspoonful
of sugar.
Good flour is not tested by it's color.
White -four may not be the best. The
lest Of good flour is by the amount OF
water it absorbs.
Cooks make the mistake Of boiling
things too much. After reaching the
boiling point meats should simmer. The
toughest meats can be made tender BY
20 doing.

A fall of black snow took place in
Pennsylvania a few days since. The
snow fell to the depth of half an inch,
and instead of the usual white, faky
element, it was dark and sooty in color.
Immediately following the descent of
the snow, families in the neighborhood
were attacked with sore throat and the
younger portion with measles. The theo.
nv advanced is, that the smoke, SCOT and
other impurities, from the hundreds of
coke ovens in the vicinity. had been col
lected in the atmosphere and mingled
with a snow storm.

pERILs OF THE SEA.
Sad Experience of the Crew of a Stock
ton Vessel.

The Londay Daily Telegraph of October II,
contains the following:
Ephraim Wilson, colored sailor, and ma
tive of Nassau, who was landed at Falmouth,
England, yesterday, gives the following nara
tive of the loss of all the crew excepting him
self, of the American brigantine Walter u.
Palmer of Stockton, Me-, Capt. Ellis, bound
from Wilmington to Hayti The Walter H.:
Palmer left Wilmington on September ), ana
to hurricane. AT II p. m. the vessel labored
heavily, and the crew, as the gale did not sub,
side, cut away the mainmast (the mainsail had
previously been blown away, and then let go
the port anchor SO as to keep her head to the
wind. A big sea, however, capsized the YES
sci. The crew, six in number succeeded IN es-
Gaping from the wreck to the mainmast, which
although cut away, was attached to the vessel
by the rigging, and lay, in the water along SIDE
The poor fellows did not stay there long, for IN
about twenty minutes an aged Irishman was
washed over and drowned, and soon afterward
a young American followed him. Another
wave carried away the captain, and soon two
others, the mate and the cook, were washed
off, locked in each others arms, Wilson
only being left. He says that the night
was intensely dark, and that he did not see
the Inflated men after they fell into the water.
The hurricane moderated at a. m. Wilson
contrived to fasten pieces OF wood together SO
as to form a kind of raft, and he used some
torn canvas as shelter for his head, and as
we'll to wrap his body in, and to protect him
self from the numerous sharks and other vo-
racious fish which were constantly attempting
to reach him. In this state he continued to
live without any food until Sept IL, whom the
wreck was observed by the crew of a passing
vessel), the Swedish brigantine the Carl Ro-
sennis of Bergen, who made for the vessel to
see her pame. They observed Wilson on the
spar and rescued him. Wilson only saw one
vessel before during the five days which
elapsed between the time of the shipwreck and
his rescue, and he made signals by waving can
vas, etc.. but they were unnoticed. He gave
up all hope of being saved, and was in such Q
state of exhaustion that he was not aware OF
the approach of the Carl Rosennis until boat
from her was close to him.

The Portland daily press., 1881-11-02


Yesterday morning Mr.. Chase, the agent of
the anti-cruelty society, went over to the Cape
to make an investigation in regard to some
horses belonging to Robert Gibson. He found
one of the horses feeding by the side of the
road, or rather trying to feed, for the animal
had been SO fearfully manned by its brutal
owner that it was hardly able to swallow a
mouthful. 1t appears that the horse was
balky and that Gibson had difficulty in getting
any work out of it. So he twisted a cord
around the animals lower jaw to pull it along.
The tongue of the horse was caught under the
rope and, besides fearful mutilation of the
jaw, the poor creatures tongue was completely
cut in two. There was no more flesh on the
horses sides than on gridiron, and the ami
NAL had the appearance of skeleton. Mr..
Chase brought the animal to town and it
is needless to say that measures were taken to
put it out of its misery. Gibson has not yet
been arrested but he will be held to answer for
his crime,
