orite Sky terrier had accidentally
obtained and eaten the poison, which
was intended for mice. The amount
taken by the dog was probably about a
sixth Of a grain. When found, the ami
NAL was rigid and apparently ~Iifeiess,
except having an occasional spaSm. The
owner consulted authorities. and found
that a dose Of choral hydrate WIS the
antidote prescribed in such cases. To
kill a rabbit, 81 RraiEs of the choral Is
sufficient; the dog was twice b weight
Of the rabbit, and the owner of the ter
rier therefore proceeded to inject 40
grains OF chloral Tin solution) under its
skin, About fifteen minutes after ward,
surprising the dog was dead. the owner
applied his boot toit, probably feeling
q little disguised with the result OF his
experiment. To his great surprise the
terrier struggled to his feet. Shortly
afterward it took some ak, and subse-
quently, though not for q while very
lively, it seemed none the worse for its
experience. The essential pc int in this
treatment is that the dose OF chloral
should be strong enough to kill; other
wise it may not be sufficient to overcome
the effects Of strychnine.
SALT IN INTERMITTENT fEvlR. Tho
directions are to take q handful Of pow
dered white salt, such as is used IN
Kitchens, aud roast it in a clean st've
new. If possible) with moderate heat
till it becomes OF q brown color, like
that of roasted coffee. The dose for an
adult is a soup-spoonful dissolved in a
slass OF warm water, taken at once. It
should be stated that when the fever
makes its appearance at intervals Of two,
three, or four days, the remedy should
be taken fasting, On the morning of the
day following the fever. To overcome
the thirst excited by the salt, a small
quantity OF water should be taken
through a straw. During the forty
eight hours which followed the taking
OF the salt, tho appetite should be salts
fed with chicken or beef broth only; 1t
is especially necessary at the time to
observe q severe diet, and to avoid tax
ing cold. The author asserts that during
the eighteen years that he has used this
method OF treatment he has never been
unsuccessful. The remedy is certainly
harmless, and perhaps worthy of trial.
A DELICIOUS PUDDNa.-A plain but
delicious tapioca pudding can be made
with very little else but tapioca and ap-
pies. Most recipes say soak over night,
but q very nice one can be made with

like starch; while that is boiling you
pare and core a few apples. The num-
Der Of apples II quantity OF taploca
used must be according to the number to
be fed. 1t is hard to spoil the pudding, it
il SO simple. Put the apples in another
dish, and cover with water, adding a lit
tie sugar and nutmeg Or cinnamon; boil
till nearly soft, and then turn the clear
tapioca over them, and bake q little
whlle; do not forget to put salt in your
pudding, or you will have q very taste
less affair. 1t is to be eaten with sugar
nnd butter. Cream is most excellent il
you have it.
