fee for Teething Children.

The pain of teething may be almost
done away, and the health of the child
benefited, by giving it fine splinters of
ice, picked off with q pin, to melt in its
mouth. The fragment is so small that
it is but a drop of warm water before it
can be swallowed, and the child has all
the GOODNESS for its feverish gums with
out the slightest injury. The avidity
with which the little things taste the
cooling morsel; the instant quiet which
succeeds hours of fretfulness, and the
sleep which follows the relief, are the
best witnesses to this magic remedy.
Ice may be fed to three months child
this way, each splinter being no longer
than o common pin, for five or ten min
utes, the result being that it has swal-
lowed in that time teaspoonful of warm
water, which, SO far from being harm,
is good for it, and the process may be
hourly as often as the fretting
fits from teething begin.-Western RN-
raj.

Baked fish is apt to be dry, and can
be improved by basting it with little
good fat or olive oil, or by laying slice
of salt pork over it, or strips of pork in
slashes cut in its upper surface. Blue
fish, bass, shad, carp, red snappers and
other fish from three to six pounds in
weight are good for baking. Brown
gravy or sauce should be served with
baked fish, and highly-seasoned bread
stuffing increases their palatableness.
I'm warm, properly-ventilated stables
it is doubtful whether horses ought to
be blanketed, but in cold stables there is
no doubt that they should be; also in all
cases when stopped in cold weather on
the road. 1t is better, when the horse
comes in warm and sweaty, to rub him
dry before feeding and watering. Horses
are much like human beings; they take
cold by exposure, as man will. They
should be carefully treated, and never
be allowed to stand long in cold weather
in a sweaty condition without being
blanketed. Many horses are ruined by
exposure and drinking cold water when
warm and sweaty.
For meat fritters sift teacupful of

than for griddle cakes. Set this aside
for two hours or better still for twenty
four. When it is to be used, whip the
whites of two eggs to stiff froth, first
adding pinch Of salt; stir them lightly
into the batter, and add the sliced meat.
Have small kettle of hot fat ready-be

Another serious family feud is re-
ported. 1t occurred among our un-
evolved brethren at the Central Park
menagerie. When the recent sudden
cold weather surprised everybody the
monkeys felt it severely. The older
and stouter ones squeezed into the warm
corners, and the others climed on them,
and crowded about them to keep warm !;
the smallest and youngest were, of
course, left out in the cold at the top of
the pile. One of these little ones perched
on a heap of his fellows and cried so
long and loud that the old chap at the
bottom grew angry, jumped up, toppled
over the whole pile, and then proceeded
to thrash every monkey he could reach.
