Lice and Scab.

The louise is a parasite. A parasite is
an insect or plant that lives on the
bodies of other animals or plants. Each
has its peculiar habitat, or home, where
it finds its necessary food. Animal, as
well as plant lice, increase with amaz-
ing rapidity, and, if unmolested, ''would
soon take the country" The female
head louise, Pediculus, will lay about
fifty or sixty eggs in the course of a
week. These eggs, called nits, hatch
in about six days, and come to maturity
in about eighteen days. ready to propa-
gate their species. If uninterrupted,
in the short space of eight weeks there
will be progeny of something like
5000 from single pair. Lice have
neither lungs nor gills for breathing
apparatus. Breathing is done by means
of innumerable holes in the body. and
when these are stopped up the insect
dies. Newspapers print various RENE
dies for these vermin, and some of them
have proved far worse than the disease,
resulting in the death of the animal.
Red precipitate and a too free use of
coal oil have been known to kill instead
of cure. Coal oil will perhaps kill every
vermin it touches. and SO perhaps of
strong tobacco water, while many of
the vermin will flee from the smell of
these and similar remedies, falling on
the ground, and only awaiting a good
opportunity to get back to their old
homes. l have stated how they breathe;
now for the remedy, and the only per-
fectly safe remedy. Grease, simply
grease, and nothing else. One quart of
lard. or any soft grease, in two applica-
tions. three or four days apart, well
rubbed in the hair along the back from
head to tail, with two or three broad
stripes all the way around the body,
will cure the worst affected horse or
COW that ever lived. For hogs, melt
the grease and pour from an old coffee
or other pot all along the pot. letting
the grease run down the sides, with
few drops in each ear, will rid them en-
tirely, provided new bed is given
them to sleep in. If a-child is thus
troubled, half teaspoonful of lard,
well rubbed in the hair, will be suf1i-
cient, if allowed to remain on. The
philosophy of this exceedingly simple
remedy is this. Every louise that crawls
through the greasy hair gets the pores
of his body stopped up. and conse-
quently dies. and when he falls to the
ground it is TO stay there. The grease
should stay on at least a week, SO as to
kill all the young nits as soon as they
begin to crawl.-Cor. NJ y Tribune.

1t is common practice to use bits
of old carpets as lining for stair car

strips of an old bedquilt, have them not

Drinks made from fresh or pre-

ing spring beverage. Slice about two
pounds of rhubarb and boil for quar-
ter of an hour in q quart of water;
strain the liquor into a jug, adding a
small quantity of lemon-peeI and some
sugar to taste; when cold it is fit for
use. Apple water may be made in the
same manner. The apples should be
peeled and cored. Sugar should not
be added to either of the above until
all the liquor is removed from the fire.
In the absence of fresh fruit pleasant
beverage may be prepared by stirring
sufficient raspberry jam or currant jelly
into the required quantity of water.

Earwigs.

The insects popularity termed earwigs
are known scientifically as torfcute,
name derived from the Latin, and mean
ing sssmall SCISSORS The French ap-
pellation is perez oreille, or ''ear pieroer,"
and is given on account of a-pair OF claws
or nippers extending from the hinder
extremity of the body, which resembles
the instrument sometimes used by Jew
elers for boring the ear to admit ear
rings. The vulgar name. earwig, is ow-
ing to the supposed prediction OF the
insect to enter the human ear; an erro-
neous impression, doubtless based on
the instinct of the animal, which teaches
it to take refuge in dark cavities. Even
if 1t did enter the organ of hearing, it
could do no harm, as it could not pene-
trate any further than the drum, and
might be easily dislodged from the
passage by drop or two of oil. Ear
wigs dislike light, and live entirely in
obscure places, concealing themselves
under stones, in cracks Of trees, and
sometimes in deep flowers. They are
social, and numbers are found together.
They are voracious eaters, feeding on
flowers and boring into ripe fruit, or,
they can not get vegetable diet, con-
tenting themselves with carrion or ma
nure. # kept without nourishment,
utility to man is the war which they
wage on several insects destructive to
wheat and other grain, particularly
those varieties the larvae of which bury
themselves in the kernels of the plants.
The females have remarkable and Gu
rious fondness for their young. The
eggs are developed in little cavities in
the earth, and always in damp places.
The mother watches them carefully,
transporting them from the place if the
moisture dries, or gathering them IL
first are white, and appear to swell after
emerging from the egg, but become
dark and hard in few hours. The fe-
male stih guards them, and, it is said,
gathers them under her as hen does
her chickens. Earwigs are destitute OF
feelings of gratitude or filial affection;
for just as soon as they attain sufficient
size, they proceed to devour their moth
er, if she happen to get injured or die.

From BAY City. Mlch.-Anothcr Case Of
Consumption Cured by DR.. Scllenck,s
Medicines.
DIR. J. H. ScHENcK:
Dear Sir-I write this to give you an &C
count of the cure Of my mother by your medt-
cines. Six years ago, from the effects of q
heavy cold, she was reduced very low with
Consumption, and was pronounced incurable
by her physician. She had terrible cough,
and some of her coughing spells would Last
SO long that she would turn black in the face
and often raise as much as pint of blood at
q time. When she was first taken sick she
was quite stout but from the loss of blood BY
hemorrhages, and loss of sleep, she was at
last reduced to almost q skeleton. While in
this terrible condition, 1 happened to read
your dvertisement In an Oswego, N. Y, pa
per, where we were living at this time. The
statements of those who had used your medi-
cines seemed SO candid and reasonable that
we concluded to give them q trial, and can
truly say, that by coming to this conclusion
my mothers life was saved from Conaump-
tive's grave. She commenced by using all
your remedies, as directed by you, and we
soon saw q marked Improvement in all her
symptoms. In conclusion will say, that she
continued their use until she was entirely
well. regaintng her former weight and
strength Yours respectfully.

Preserving Eggs.

Among lot of conundrums that
came to me the other day I find the
following:
..How can keep eggs for winter
use?" and .'How can Keep eggs fresh
for six or eight monthsp'
Well, in all human probability you
cannot do it at all. Eggs that have
been Ike pt in pickle for six or eight
months are not ''fresh," and will not
sell in market. even in winter when
eggs are scarce, for as good prices as
fresh eggs will bring, bat still these
''limed" eggs are sold and used, and
great many people make snug sum
every year by lining the eggs when
they can about double on them. Last
winter an Eastern firm made a clean
$4,000 on lined eggs. Here is the
recipe for the pickle:
ITO four gallons of boiling water
add half peck of new lime, stirring it
for some time. When cold strain
through q coarse sieve to remove
Jumps; add ten ounces of salt to three
ounces of cream of tartar, and mix
thoroughly. Let stand a fortnight be-
fore using. Pack the eggs as closely as
possible in anything that will hold the
pickle and keep them closely coy-
ered.'
Another method is to coat the eggs
with linseed or cotton-seed oil, or par
affine. and then pack small end down.
ward in cut straw, chaff or sawdust.
Still another is to pack them in stone
Jars and pour melted tallow over them
until the jar is full. Another: Wet
slaked lime to a consistency that will
allow the eggs to stand upright; put
lovar IN, ho bnttnn, IF the vaSSa1 stick
the eggs in close, but not to touch each
other, cover with more wet lime. put in
another layer of eggs. and SO IN until
the vessel is full.
Eggs packed in salt and kept in

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS CURE

DIR. J. II. SCHENCK:
Dear Sir-Nine years ago was suffering
with severe Bronchial affection which re-
duced me very much In flesh. I had severe
cough with hoarseness, and sometimes an
entire loss Of voice. For several months
was compelled to give up my work; and was
sick for over two years. All this time was
trying many remedies that were recommend
ed by my friends, but without any benefit.
At last, Mr.. J. g. Upton, Of the firm Of Upton
& Brown. Machinists OF Battle Creek, Mich,
advised me to try your medicines, atthe Same
time telling me that 1t had cured him Of q
serious affection of the lungs, after spending
hundreds Of dollars with physicians without
benefit. took his advice and bought some
of your medicines of Schuyler Bros, drug
gists of this place. The first bottle gave me
great relief, and after using several bottles
was entirely cured. My cure, am satisfied,
Is permanent, as have had no return of the
disease. l candidly believe that your reme-
dies are the best that can be used In throat
and lung troubles, not only from my own ex-
perience but from many others that I know
who have used 1t with great benefit.
