WORMS.

One of the simplest and best remedies
to be given to children if they are trou-
bled with worms is poplar bark. A we'll
known physician has used this for years
With marked success. It can be bought
at any drug store. Take little pinch of
the bark, about as much as one would
naturally take up on the point of pen
knife, and give it before breakfast. It
has clean, bitter taste, and there is no
difficulty III getting child to take it.
HOT WATER FOR THE HEART.
In letter to The Lancet, DR.. A. Paggi
records the following observations: He
states that in Paris he saw a case in
which, under the inhalation of chloro-
form, the heart ceased to beat, and arti-
fetal respiration for ten minutes failed
to restore circulation, when DR.. Liable
dipped large cloth in boiling water and
applied it to the region of the heart, with
the result of Immediately restoring its
action.
PAIN IN THE BACK.
Severe pain in the back like that of
lumbago, or down the back of the thigh,
like that of sclatica, may often be ad-
vantageOusly treated by ironing. Sew
eral thickness of flannel should be laid
over the part and hot fatiron applied
with pressure, just as in ironing clothes
The heat should be as great as can be well
borne, and after the ironing is over the
flannel should be left on the part and
held in place by bandage or otherwise.
HOW TO TREAT COLD.
When you get chilly all over and away
into your bones, and begin to sniffle and
almost struggle for your breath, just be-
gin in time, and your tribulation need
not last very long. Get some powdered
borax and snuff the dry powder up your
nostrils. Get your camphor bottle and
smell it frequently; pour some on your
handkerchief, and wipe your nose with
it whenever needed. Your nose will not
get sore, and you will soon wonder what
has become of your cold. Begin this
treatment In the forenoon, and keep on
at intervals until you go to bed, and you
will sleep as well as you ever did.
CURE FOR LEAD POISONING.
In some of the large establishments of

ing was found to be lemonade made of
weak sulphuric acid, but after a while
the workmen became Disguised with the
taste of this liquor, and refused to drink
1t. 1t was observed that two workmen
In one of the factories were entirely
exempt from lead collie, and, upon in
quiry, it transpired that they made free
use of milk. The director of the works
at once ordered enough milk every morn
ing and evening for all of the workmen,
and from that time all symptoms of lead
poisoning disappeared. The suggestion
Is worthy of attention ON the part of all
persons who are exposed to the poison
Gus action of lead, to make free use of
milk. 1t is at once an agreeable and
easily attainable remedy,

GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

When George d. Prentice arrived IN
Louisville, it was not as brilliant young
journalist, looking for position in which
to shine, but as drunken loaier, utterly
uncertain about place in which to
sleep. In this condition he met and
made friends with fellow who was as
near tramp as any that existed in that
dav, and who was known as a ''strolllng
tinker," or travelling mcnder OF pots.
They made day of it TO the extent OF
what they both had, and such credit as
they could get, at the risk of boots ap-
Piled to their coattails. Night came on,
and George d. Prentice bewailed his
lavish and open drinking which left him
without the means to get bed. The
tinker said, with a worldly hospitality of
very tipsy man; "YOu shall go home
with me-
George assented to his "comer-longer
me-" and arm in arm they started for
their "home." The man seemed TO know
where he was going, and soon reached an
obscure street, not far from the Ohio river.
He paused at a shed, let down bar, and
again murmured out this word, which
coQld be divided in ''come erlong-er-me.
Then he at once rolled over the bar, and
fell into some straw, and Prentice follow
ing. There was some small squeals some
loud and angry grunts, as OF disturbed
swine.
Prentice shook his friend. who was
already asleep, and said: "See here, IS
this your home:"
"Yes, sir-cc," said the sleepy tinker.
1T sounds and smells like hog pen,
said the half-sobered Prentice.
"What.er that-they'n have to stand
il" said the fellow, who then went to sleep.
Prentice was still too drunk to know
how to get out again, but he lay and
thought. His thoughts were: "Here
am |, man of good education and OF
good parents, and well brought up. l
have been enjoying myself and living
high, and having a good time. Let's
see how high l have got. | am out OF
clothes, out of money, out of character
that's three outs-and have risen TO be
the companion of travelling tinker.
That's my outing and elevation. Now
what have got into: Let me see. Oh,
| see, or rather smell-into hog-pen
! If ever get out I'll quit, and serve God
for better wages" lie did quit, and be-
came the first journalist and wit Of the
southwest.
