Burns and ScaIds---Important
Remedy.

Four years since, the American Agri-
culturist recommended the use of bicar-
Donate Of soda, that is. the common
cooking soda, for most kinds Of burns.
Since then frequent experiments and
obs ervations, the opinions of physi-
clans and the best medical journals have
more than confirmed all it then said.
As burns and scslds are always liable
to occur, and as this remedy, though
simple, has proved to be extraordinarily
useful, it should be fixed in the mind
of every one. The soda and the car
bonic acid, so readily set at liberty from
it. have arasthetic, sntiseptic and dis
injecting properties-all highly bene-
fetal for burns.
For slight burns cover all the in
jared parts with q layer of powdered
soda. For deeper burns, but where
the skin is not broken, dip linen rags
in solution made by dissolving about
one-third of an ounce OF the soda in a
\ PINT Of water; lay the rags on and keep
them moist with the solution. For
very severe burns. followed ny sup
puration formation of pus), apply the
rags in the same way. keeping them
moist. but frequently exchange them
when dry for fresh ones, and carefully
wash off with The soda solution any
matter that has accumulated under
meath, so that it may not be absorbed
into and poison the blood. Leading
European medical journals give nu-
merous instances in which, by the
above treatment. extensive burns OF
very severe character have healed
speedily. leaving little scar.

experiment of supplying postnen in
country districts with bicycles ard tri-
cycles. This has been done particu.

know what an efficient aid pantomime
is to his speech. A look and gesture
convey the orators thought, even be-
fore his lips have spoken it.
Few American orators possess this
art. Their gestures may be graceful or
impressive, and their countenance
animated. But the face docs not speak
nor do the hands express emotion.
Years ago. there was one American
orator who did speak with tho " action,
action, action" which Demosthenes
insisted upon. William G. Preston. of
South Carolina, was alike eloquent in
speech and in gesture.
A gentleman was once listening to
Mr.. Preston. and beside him stood a
deaf man. Apparently he heard as dis
tinctly as any one in the vast crowd.
Tears. smiles, and even boisterous
laughter, responded to the speakers
utterances.
who's that speaking?" asked the
deaf man of the gentleman by his side,
Just as the orator had finished one of
his magnificent passages.
William G. Preston, of South
Carolina shouted the gentleman.
Well, well," said the deaf man, ~
can't hear word he or you are saying,
but don't he do the motions splendid! -
"Suit the action to tho word," says
Hamlet. "the word to the action, with
this special observance, that You

A CURIOUS ANEcDoTE. - The late
Baron James Rothschild was persuaded
by his friend, Eugene Delacroix, the
distinguished painter. to sit for him as
the model of beggsr. as much by way
OF joke as because of his capacity for
excellently assuming the appearance of
q mendicant. While he was thus dis
guised one day in the artists studio,
one of Delscroix's young friends and
disciples entered. and was so completely
deceived by the models woebegone ap.
pearance, that in passing out he stealth
lily pressed coin into the old mans
hand. Rothschild greatly enjoyed his
success in his assumed character, and
took the money; but he afterward made
inquiry concerning the young man,
and learning that he was in needy cir
cumstances and eking out an existence
by teaching, became a very useful
friend to him and the source of sub
stantisl pecuniary aid.

The Grapevine in August.

Most of the active work Of the vineyard is
The lateras may still need pinching, and
late shoots may push where they are not
wanted, and must be broken of. Most of the
troublesome insects of this season are large,
aud readily noticed, SO that the only REM
edy, whether for the large grapevine cate.
pillars, or beetles, is picking them by hand
The chief troubles of the grape grower this
month, are the Lenf-hopper, incorrectly
callei Thrips, and Mldew. The little in
sect, which in some places rise in clouds as
one passes among the vines, and appears of
general dInGy white color as it flies. is,
when caught and examined, found to be
handsomely marked with scarlet, 1t re
mains attached to the leaves, sucking the
juices, in its early life, and it is only when
it gets wings, that its presence is usually
noticed. The only remedy that has been
sug ,ested Tor this Leaf hopper in its winged
state, is to carry lighted torches among the
yinas at night. Mildew appears in the hot
dry days. Pale spots are seen on the leaves
and f the underside of these be examined,
there will be found the gray patches of the
minute fungus, which causes the trout e,
Su phur is the remedy. This, upon the
/ fir,t appearance of the Mlldew, should be
freely and thoroughly busted upon the TO-
liase of the vines. Bellows for the purpose
are sold at the seed and implement stores
The bellows are like an old fashioned ktch-
en- bellows, and have a wide tube an inch
across The valve hole is stopped by cork
and quantity Of Flowers of Sulphur being
placed in the body of the bellows, through
this opening, it is blown, when the bellows
is worked, like fine cloud Of dust, which
settles on the foliage, and soon puts an end
to the Mildew. The busting should be done
on hot still day, aud two, or at most three
applications, will save the foliage, which
otherwise would soon become useless.-AS-

COLUMN.
The Manure Harvest.

In the midst of the harvest Of grain, and
grass, and tubers, we must not forget the
compost heap, in which we garner and store
the unsowed crops Of future season. The
saying that "anything that grows in one
summer, will rot before the next" is a safe
guide in collecting vegetable matter for the
compost heap. When sods, muck and weeds
form a part of the heap, il is not alone the
material which we are asshuous IN collect
ing, aud put into the heap, that constitutes
its whole value. The fermentation induced
by the dung and liquid manure, aud the
action OF the lime or ashes added work up.
on the earth, adherng to the roots oi the
weeds, and forming a considerable part Of
both sods aud muck, and develop an nd
mirable quality of plant food. Hence this
element Of the compost heap, which is gen
orally over looked as possessing any special
value, should never be wanting. 1t has,
moreover, its own offices TO perform, in pro-
noting decay, in The formation of humus,
and IN preserving, locking up, and holding
on TO valuable ingredients Of plant food
The compost heap should always be laid
in even layers, and each layer should 60
over the entire bcap,for thus only can fral
uniformity be bad. We do not mean 81 ecisl
purpose composts, but those made for g,n-
erlI farm crops. 1t would be we'll if every
p rticle Of dung, liquid manure, straw, It
ter, leaves, weeds, etc., could be worked TO-
grther into uniform fine compost, and there
| is really no substantial reason why this
should not be dons. The gardener woL Id
plead for certain special composs. 1t might
perhaps be well to make a special hen ma
nure compost for corn in the hill, and TAX
ing the general compost as ha is, to make
one for turDips, by the addition Of large
percentage of bone dust. All this may be
done-establish once the rule to compost
everything Of manurial value, and we have
in prospect an abundance of iarm made Ter.
tillzers at all times, and for all crops-vic
: tory over weeds, good place for dccompos
able trash OF all kinds, a sacred buria
ground for all minor animals and poultry
whose precincts need never be invaded
There will besides be no stagnating peol il
the barn yard, for all liquids will go to tn
tank, to be pumped over the compost heap
no nasty, slumpy barn-yard, for every
thing will be gathered for the growing com
post heap, and the harvesting Of the man
urc crop, and its increase day by day, al
D the year round, will be source of constun
pleasure to master and men.-Amcrican As
