The Kingston Freeman relates the
experience Of young mother ia that
town with her first baby. The mother,
it seems, had been reared in luxury,
and was lacking in practical knowledge.
The other day she undertook to give
the child a bath in a small foot tub.
The lady's mother, who lives with her,
passing through the room, dipped her
fingers in the water and told her daugh-
ter it was too cold for the little one, and
that she would have to warm it. In
stead Of adding a little warm water,
she placed the bath tub with the baby
in it on a small gas stove and waited
for further developments. The devel-
opments came as soon as the bottom of
the tub began to get extra warm. The
offspring gave one yell, when the fond
mother, grandmother and two servants
rushed to the rescue. In the future
the grandmother will look after the
child, while the mother reads up on the
cares of mother and how to bring up
children.

Whitcwash the Outbuildings.

There is no more healthful method
of keeping the stables, sheds and pens
clean than to give them good coat of
lime-wash. The wash is easily and
quickly made as follows: Slake a
bushel of fresh lime in pork or other
barrel, with water enough to make a
thick paste, after which fill up the
barrel with hot water and let it stand
for few hours. This wash may be
applied in various ways. 1t may be
spread upon the walls with a large
whitewash brush, and no pains need be
taken to do a neat job. Whatever
wash falls upon the floor in the opera
tion is not lost, but helps to sweeten
the stable or stall. The quickest and
most satisfactory method is to use a
force pump, by which the lime-wash
can be thrown into every crack and
corner.

In Their Tent.

Few men ever had grizzly bear
tread on their legs and lived to tell the
story. Yet, according to an English
member of parliament, who made a
sporting tour through the West, this
actually happened to hunter named
Bennett. He and his two partners
were trapping in the Rocky mountains.
Having secured a number of pelts one
of the men went to the nearest trading
post to sell them and bring back neces-
sary stores.
Two or three nights after his de-
parture the bear took a quantity of
meat. Thinking that the animal
would probably return to seek for
more spoil they set a trap. Half an
antelope carcass was pinned to the
ground, string stretched around it
and tasted to the trigger of loaded
rifle pointed at the bait.
Some time in the night the two
hunters, who were sleeping in their
tent, were awoke by the discharge of
the rifle. On going outside they found
the cub of grizzly bear lying dead.
Resetting the trap, they foolishly
pulled the dead cub inside of their tent,
and turned in again. 1t was not long
before they were aroused by the she
bear, who had followed the scent to the
tent, and had found its cub dead. Her
distress was great. She fondled the
dead body, licked it and whined over it.
The hunters scarcely dared breathe
much, less stir, though the bear in he1
movements trod on their legs and feet
When she left the tent they franticany
climbed the nearest tree. She soon re.
turned and remained so long that the
men, whose only clothing was theil
shirts, and the night being bitterly
cold, were nearly frozen. When she
again retired they descended, lighted {
fire, declaring that they wouldn't freeze
to death for all the bears in the noun
tain. Fortunately the bear did no
visit the camp again.

Onion Growing.

To cover the whole subject of onion
growing would make greater demands
upon our space than the limits of our
department admit, but we answer in
brief the leading questions proposed by
our correspondent, j. P. S., Bellows
Falls, VT: The onion thrives best in
,sasfatbef.sstEo1g. deep, rich, .loamy soil,
and unlikemo vegetables succeeds
well when cultivated on the same
ground for successive years. The
ground should be deeply trenched and
manured the previous autumn and laid
up in ridges during the winter to
soften. AS early in spring as the
ground is in working order commence
operations by leveling the ground with
a rake and tread it firmly; SOW thinly
in drills about quarter of an inch
deep and one foot apart; cover with
end soil, and press down with the back
of a spade or light roller. When
the young plants are strong
enough thin gradually, so that they
stand three or four inches apart. Keep
the surface of the ground open and
free from weeds by frequent hoeing
taking care not to stir the soil too
deeply or to collect it about the grow
Ing bulbs. Onion sets should be planted
out as early in spring as the ground is
fry enough to work; plant them in
rows one foot apart, with sets three or
four inches apart. When raised from
sets the onions can be used in the green
state in June, or they will be ripened
off by July. Sets are produced by
sowing the seed as early as the ground
can be worked in the spring very
thickly in beds or drills and about the
middle of July, or whenever the tops
die down, the small bulbs or sets are
gathered and kept spread thinly in a
cold, dry cellar or loft until the follow
ing spring. The potato and top onions
are grown only from bulbs.-American
Culticator.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Res toring Sickly Plants.

An experienced gardener writes I
have been remarkably successful in
restoring sickly plants that have been
pining away in pots by shaking them
out and planting them in shallow
box filled with common moss, kept
constantly moist. Almost anything
seems to grow luXuriantly in this, and
our own experience encourages us to
advise others to try it. A little soil
mixed with the moss could not possibly
do any harm. Seeds also germinate
freely in it. Coleus and geraniums
root quicker in it with us than in
sand. l wonder how | did so long
without it.

The Duelloin Louisiana.

In an account Of some duels fought
years ago in Louisiana, New Or
leans correspondent says: A type of
Southern duelist was young Orrin
Bird, every member of whose family
had the reputation of having killed
: his man" and died with his boots
on" Bird would never have struck
the average observer as a dangerous
or determined man. The son of a
Carolina preacher, he had been thor
oughly educated, and was refined and
gentlemanly in his manners. He was
a great ladies' man, much admired and
petted by the young bellies Of New Or
leans, and, with his delicate COM
plexion, graceful figure and faultless
costume, gave one the impression Of
being somewhat effeminate.
He was never disputatious, quarrel
some or boastful, always sober, and
extremely courteous to every one, and
while he never sought duel he never
shirked one, and always seemed blessed
with success upon the field. One of
his first affairs was with Colonel
Richard Hagan, whose utterly fearless
character had been demonstrated in
half dozen q affairs" In one of
these, at Matched miss, he had received
wound which ninety times out of a
hundred would prove fatal, his carotid
artery being severed by the ball OF his
antagonist. His life was saved by his
surgeon, DR.. Slone6 and herecovered to
fight second timb the man who had
so seriously wouhded him, and this
time to kill him.
The meeting between Bird and Ha-
gan, which occurred on the Mexican
Gulf railroad, WIS awaited with in
tense interest by feyery one, as it was
well known that both parties were
good shots. To = bake the affair sure,
the two prinei5 were posted in the
;;:s ;;:s;' : ! ! = s,,s ss';;s;si s.s'
shots. Had BASED through
Birds leg, infictfFg an unpleasant but
not serious wound, while Hagan's
femoral artery was cut, wound gen
orally deemed mortal. Fortunately
for him, he had tile same phyaician as
at the Natchez duel, and his life was
again saved. But he was never the
same man, and when he again ap-
peared in the world, after months of
nursing, it was on crutches, crippled
for life, but still the same brave
spirited, popular gentleman he had
always been. 1t should be stated, by
the way, that this duel was fought on
the very eve of Birds marriage.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Spices, condiments, ETC., in small
quantity, when needed by the weak,
intlrm or aged, stimulate the flow of
saliva, and of the gastric juice, and
these may help digestion. But the
young and strong should reserve the
use of these until infirmity of age
makes them partially necessary, and
they will be ali the more useful, be-
cause the system has not become so
habituated to them that they will have
little effect.
\ physician writes from Peru to
make known the result of his observa-
tion of malarial, or intermittent, fevers
and their cause. He believes more in
surface chilling as a cause than in
germs. In places of high altitude,
where there was no chance, as he
thinks, for malarial germs to thrive, he
has seen typical and extreme attacks Of
intermittent fever from exposure during
the cool of evening in the same cloth
ing which was Worn in the tropical
heat of the day. To properly protecl
oneself by remaining indoors during
the evening, or by wearing an overcoat
when going out, was quite sufficient,
in his experience, to prevent, or avoid
so-called malarial troubles.-Dr. FOOte'

The most dangerous of the vegetable
poisons at this season of the year are
the hemlocks (including the hemlock
dropwort, water hemlock and the COM
mon hemlock), fools parsely, monks
hood, foXglove, black hellebore, or
Christmas rose, buckbran, henbane.
thorn apple and deadly nightshade.
In case of vegetable poisoning, says
knowledge, "emetics (the sulphate of
zinc, if procurable) should be used at
once, the back of the throat tickled
with feather, and copious draughts
of tepid water taken to excite and pro-
mote vomiting. Where these measures
fail the stomach-pump must be used.
Neither ipecacuanha nor tartar emetic
should be used to cause vomiting, as
during the nausea they produce before
vomiting is excited the poison is more
readily absorbed. Vinegar must not
be given until the poisonous matter
has been removed but afterward it
may be given in doses of wineglasS-
full, one part vinegar to two parts
water, once every two hours in mild
cases, but oftener-to half-hour doses
in cases of greater severity. Where
there is stupor, the patient should be
kept walking about, and if the stupor
is great cold water may be dashed
over the head and chest. Strong
coffee may be used where the narcotic
effect of the poisoning is very marked.
Il is all-important that in cases of
vegetable poisoning a medical man
should be sent for at once.

TrainabIe Animals.

First, Only the most highly organized
ANIMALS are amenable to exercise, or,
what means the same thing, trainable.
After the generally-distributed compan-
ions of men, the horse and the dog,
the most teachable animal is the ele-
phant. Chamisso found intercourse
with the apes on board the Rurik un-
commonly instructive, "fOr," as Calde-
ron says of the ass. "they are almost
men," and he made the profound re-
mark that they might be able to bring
themselves up to the mark if they did
not lack the property which Newton
held to be one with genius, steadfast
ness. Carnivores, with the exception
of the cheetah (FeliS jubata), rumi-
nants and rodents exhibit only mod
crate teachability yet Herr Fritsch
considered the draught-oxen at
eth Cape of Good Hope wiser than the
horse, and in Brazil and Thibet sheep
are trained to carry loads. Among the
birds, the higher ones are the parrots,
starlings, bullfinches and canary birds;
the falcon ranks with the cheetah in
teachablcness. Chameleons, snakes and
carp are only moderately teachable.
The training of bees is only apparent;
they always perform their trick under
kind Of compulsion. The immense
host of other creatures all around us
show no more1 aptitude for training
han they do, for the reason that every
animal within its own circle has no
need of instruction; what we call in
stinct affords to animals, without eff
forts of the individual, more than eX-
ercise can. What practice could teach
birds to build warmer nests, to find
the way south more certainly, or bees
to solve their geOmetrical, spiders their
mechanical, problems? Instinct and
perfectibility complement each other,
as it were, in the ascending series Of
animals to Il growing sum, so that
the more instinct retreats before per
fectibility, by SO much does the living
being stand at a higher stage. Sec
ondlv, although the animals we have
named, and many others beside, are
susceptible to exercise and trainable,
animals still do not of themselves eX-
ercise and perfect themselves-but dc
so only when man takes them tC
school. Therefore, the animals around
him appear less susceptible to training
the lower the stage at which he him
self remains. Higher races of men
would certainly have tanned the beau
tiful zebra and quagga; the elephant
brought with Hannibal over the Alps
fell back with Northern Africa into
wildness. Only nutritive and forma
tive augmentation of advantages whicl
an animal may have acquired in a wild
state could come into consideration
here, and these would have to be heredi
tary to lead to perfection in course O.

Arab Pasha.

A leading journal of Madrid states
that the father of Arab Pasha, leader
of the insurrection in Egypt, was a
maker of wooden cases in which dried
raisins were kept at Barcelona. Arab
was brought up to his fathers trade,
according to this account, but, mani
testing love of reading, was sent to
the University of Valencia, where for
four years he studied law. But he
abandoned his legal studies and be-
came chorus singer. After this es-
capade he was next heard of in
Morocco in regiment of Ian
GERS, in which he had enlisted
in 1859, and received for his bravery
three decorations and a commission as
lieutenant. Failing in love after the
evacuation of Tetuan with the
daughter of rich Jewish merchant,
lie deserted from the Spanish army
and took refuge on an English mer-
chant vessel which was shipwrecked
in the Straits of Bah-el-Mandeb
Arab escaped aid after some wander
ing in Abyssimai and Nubia settled in
Egypt, became IA Mohammedan and
studied the Mos}em law.

Recipes.

TEN-MINUTE CAKE.-One-fourth of
a pound of butter, little less than 4
pound of flour, the same of sugar, six
eggs beaten separately; flavor with
mace or other flavoring to taste and
bake in muffin rings.
BAKING APPLES OR PEARS. "A
good way to bake apples or pears is to
first put them in a small jar, cover
them with water and bake slowly for
at least two hours. If you choose,
scatter sugar over each layer of fruit
before putting the water on. The juice
will then be ready to serve with them,
but you can add the sugar afterward
and let it come to boil.
CABBAGE SALAD.-This excellent
dish may be prepared with hard
boiled eggs choppedi or with raw eggs
beaten into the dressing; for one small
head or half a good-sized one, use
three eggs; beat them till they are very
light, then add six tablespoonfuls each
of vinegar and made mustard, and a
piece of butter the size Of a walnut.
Cook this dressing until it begins to
thicken; when it is cold pour it over
the chopped cabbage. When boiled
eggs are used chop the whites of the
eggs with the cabbage, and after rub
bing the yolks till they are fine stir
them into the dressing. When the
eggs are cooked the rest of the dress.
