A Perfect Lawn.

After years Of devotion TO gardening as the
most blessed of pastimes for hard working cit
izen, rejoice in nothing more heartily than In
the exquisitely perfect grass tnrf nave secured
~ the reward OF unrcmitting labor. tried our
editors plan of changing daisies into clover by
means OF sprinkling of phospho-guano. On a
fine day you take boxful Of phospho-guano, or
Peruvian guano, and when you hnd dock or
dandelion or thistle, you powder tine gnano all
over him by means Of trowel, and make him n
nice brown color all over. There follows imme-
diately brown patch, and II the Lawn is dotted
with these brown patches its appearance is de-
eiledly Objectionable for month or 30; therefore
if You intend to leave home for tour, 1t is very
proper to kill the lawn weeds by this process
before going away. find Watson's lawn-sand
an effectuai killer of weeds especially of daisies,
but il does not promote good aftergrowth, rs
guano does, the result, suppose, OF It's being
destitute of phosphate fertilizers Daisy -rakes
are ridieulous, and for the complete eradication
of daisies there can be no plan, think, so efiec
tual rs guano sprinkling. But for three years
have constantly practiced method which will
venture to consider my own. l go out every
morning from the time pleasant weather is over.
the other box of salt. For this purpose buy
agricultural salt. When l find n thistle or dock
or other rank weed, carefully cut it ont, push
ing my knife down 50 as to cut below the collar.
Into the hole drop pinch Of salt, which kills
the root and makes end to the business. 1
must own that sometimes this plan results in
brown patches, but they are smaller, at all
events, than those caused by the gnano system
without the knife; and if the work is done with
care, the beauty of the turf is not materially
lcssened. Let any one follow mp this system and
make an amusement of it, rs have done, and
the reward will come in time, especially il carried
ont on land that really suits grass. II had n
soil on which grass did not thrive, would be
content with any substitute, and make no objec-
ton to daisies for, after all, they are green.-

Ammonia Against Snake-Bites.

Several cases of snake-bite, in which the value
of Prof Halford's remedy, simultaneous injcc-
ton of ammonia has been demonstrated, have,
says the Melbourne .Irgas, lately occurred in the
Colony. At Seymour, on the l4th of December,
young man, II years Of age, named Dwycr, was
bitten by a snake between the thumb and first
finger of the right hand. The wound was rccciv-
ed at o'clock and no treatment was applied
until 1880, when the patient was powerless and
almost inscnsble. Ammonia was injected into
his right arm, when he revived at once. lie
suffered relapse, but the ammonia was again
successfully applied, and he ultimately recovered
At Bungarce young girl was bitten by snake,
and gradually sank into state of stnpor. Two
hours and a half after she was bitten ammonia
was injected. Relief was Immediately obtained,
and the girl rapidly recovered. A third case
happened on the Acheron, ii miles from AieNan-
dria, where little girl years of age, the dansh-
ter of farmer named Doak, was bitten by
snake Just above the ankle of the left foot.
symptoms of complete coma were setting IN
when the ammonia injection was used with
magical effect. The child sat upright and he
came quite lively. relapse occurring, second
injection was made with great effect as before,
aud the child from that time continued to I'M
prove until her recovery. Another case is men
toned of a native woman on the Wirrega Station,
South Australia, who was bitten by i snake on
the ankle She became unconscious, and mt the
surface of the body was turning cold, when
ammonia WAS injected. The woman nj once
revived and recovered.

Recipe for g Bald Head.

With the approach Of fy-time, a bald-headed
man in Milwaukee conceived the idea that It
would rebound to his physical and spiritual vel
fare, if he could raise crop of hair. He there
fore repaired 10 a physician, who obligingly
wrote the following prescription:
Chloride of sodium, ounce; aqua pure,
ounces. Shake well, and rub on the scalp every
morning"
The bald man went 10 drug store, and had
the prescription put up, paying one dollar for
small bottle of the mixture. He offered the
opinion that the price was rather high, but the
druggist assured him that aqua pure was one of
the most penetrating drugs in the market, and
that the war in Peru had sent chloride of sodium
mp to n fabulous figure. The mixture was taken
home and used with such gratifying results that
when the bald-headed man went for another
bottle, he threw down one dollar without wine
ing. "Oh, we won't charge you anything for
it, said the clerk, who did not sell the original
supply, dts only salt aud water, you know.
Salt is only two cents a pound, and water IL
cheap, this year" Oh, then was that the
English language is no match for a swindlcd
AaglOSaxon In the twinkling Of an eye it was
torn 10 shreds. and cast 10 the four winds of
heaven. At length, however, the bald-headed
man was bribed with box of cigars not TO be-
tray the druggist and no one knows how the
facts got abroad.

This complaint is most liable to affect those
who have dark skin, black hair and eyes, and
are troubled with a confined condition OF the
SYSTEM il is brought on usually by cold feet, too
much eating and too little exercise; it is often
brought on by q bad cold. 1t is not confined to
age, sex, season or constitution; it sometimes is
inherited, s'runs in families" The excess of bile
in the liver is always the fundamental cause OF
the disease. Its prevention is as follows: Cnl-
tiyate constant cleanliness of the whole body
from toe to crown; slcep in well ventilated
chambers; dress so as to never allow cold chill
to come over you, never allow the feet to remain
uneomfortably cold for five minutes; spend three
or four hours every day in the open air; never
allow a confined condition of the stomach for u
single day. eat regularly thrice day at not less
than five hours intervals, not an atom between /;
avoid coffee sweet milk, porter, fats and sugars
for these all tend to engender bilious state OF
the system-and coniine your eating to fruits,
berries, grapes, melons, coarse bread, lean meats
and yegetables.-Dr. ". Hall.

OLD INHABITANTS ON WEATHER.

After -Four Hundred Years.

The proposed emigration of coco Russian
Jews To Spain represents n strange turn Of for
tunes wheel. 'In 1872 says an old Spanish
historian, "the Catholic sovercigns, who had
long been DESTROYS to clense their kingdom from
the stain Of Judaism, at las: put their hands to
the work. They had at various times previous
ly, assembled for that purpose the most learned
and experienced men of their states, but, al
though zeal for religion Ind persuaded the ex-
pulsion of the Jews, the profit obtained from
them by taxes had always inclined the balance
the other way. Now. however, sacrificing every
temporal interest to the glory of religion, and to
the preservation of purity of blood among the
nobility of Spain, they resolved to expel them
ALL As to the process of expulsion, zone can
not imagine what these miserable, blinded crea-
lures had to suffer in the course of their exile
from SPAIN" Those especially who crossed to
Africa were cruelty ill-treated by the Moors,
ian excellent remedy, continues Ferreras, de
viscd by God to open the eyes of q vast multi
tude of these poor blind ones, who were thus led
by suffering to the of the false religion
they professed, 80 that many Of them returned
to Spain to ask for the holy water Of baptism
Such were the tender mercies Of the Spanish
Church and State in 1892. One could wish that
among the purgatorial expiations of a Torquem-
ada or q Ferdinand might be included the PERU
sal Of half dozen Spanish papers ON the subject
of the proposed return of the Jews in ISL.
Among the Carlist and Ultramontane prints
they would still find matter quite to their
minds. Bat the mass of Spaniards arc on tip-toe
to welcome the 60 600 Israelites who last week
made their petition, for admission, TO the Span
ish ambassador at Constantinople. The Con-
servafivc papers are anxious that the affair
should not be regarded as triumph for the Min
isterialists over the Canovists; the Radical pa
pens see the humorous side of things; one and
an are uneasily conscious that other nations
have professcd TO find the Jews ''difiicult,r but
above everything there seems to hover the sense
that something lost is about TO he recovered,

tect those two dark radiations from tie centre
