Ice 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 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
bet witnesses to this magic remedy.
Ice may be fed to three months child
this way, each splinter being no longer
than common pin, for five or ten MN
utes, the result being that it has swal-
lowed in that time teaspoonful OF warm
water, which, so far from being a harm,
is good for it, and the process may be
repeated hourly as often as the fretting
fits from teething begin.-Western Rat-

Light Shed on a Long Standing Mystery

The old question ssWhat became of
all the pinsP" has never been satisfac-
torily answered. Perhaps that fact was
the inspiration of the bard who sang
Needles and pins, needles and pins;
Be that as it may, the Hawkeye be-
lieves that. whatever may be the fate of
the pins, it knows what becomes of the
needles. A Burlington lady recently
picked up an old needle and pin cush-
ion that had been in the family many
wears and began pressing it SO as to force
ont some needles that had sunk in too
deeply to be reached without pressing
down the surface of the cushion. She
continued at this employment until she
had extracted oger sirty needles and then
handed it to sister with the remark
that she might have the rest-not sup
posing there were any left in the re-
markabIe needle reservoir.
The sister concluded that the best way
to solve the problem was to t'cut the
Gordian knot" or, rather, the pin cush-
ion. and, on opening it, took out one
hundred and three needles, making TO-
tal 81 over one hundred and sixty need
las that were sunken out of sight in that
one needle cushion. AS this is true story
the lady readers Of the Hawkeye may lind

eating the resources OF all the old needis

Whenever 1 have fatted hogs or COWS for
the last ten years, l have done so with apples
in this way Begin with half peck the first
week, increasing half peck per week till 1
reach one bushel per week, and continue that
amount up to within two weeks of killing
Then add to the apples these two weeks bag
of corn meal. Last Fall desired to test full
ly the value of apples in producing milk For
this purpose l bought three year-old Jersey
and Ayrshire heifer. She had been kept on
ensilage about four weeks previous to pur-
chase, and as l wished to be sure of the test
gave her poor meadow hay and half peck
of apples for the first week per day in the
first three days. She increased in flow of
milk one-thrd. The second week fed one
peck of apples per day, and milk increased
to about double of what she gave at the time
of purchase As she calved the first of March,
and of course should have decreased instead
of increased in flow, it surprised me not a lit
tie. In order to be sure in the matter, /
would leave the apples out for two or three
days. and she would fall back to even less
than she gave at purchase. l then would
feed on the best of hay for two or three days,
increasing very slightly. then put her back
to apples and meadow lay, and her flow
would come up to about the second week of
treatment 1 then gave her good hay and
two quarts of meal, with but slight increase
in milk. What surprised me ths most was
the quality of the milk and butter, both be.
ing very rich and nutty. One peck of apples
moistened and one quart of corn meal sprin-
kled over them is worth more for milk and
fat than four quarts of meal alone. used to
think it paid to cook the apples, but am salts

Fact. worth Remembering.

Sudden deaths do not come from heart dis
ease, one case in twenty, but from conges-
ton of the lungs or brain, or from apoplexy.
More die from congestion of the lungs than
of the brain and more of congestion of the
brain than from apoplexy.
Sudden death from heart disease is usually
caused by rupture of some large artery near
the heart; from congestion of the lungs, by
instantly stopping the breath from cOnges-
ton of the brain, by causing pressure on the
brain which paralyZes and instantly destroys
life; from apoplexy, by hemorrhage in the
brain.
Heart disease most frequently results from
neglected or improperly treated rheumatism.
1t more often follows mild rheumatism than
the severe kind because severe rheumatism
receives prompt treatment, while the mild
form is often neglected and left to work its
way to the heart.
Persons who suppose themselves suffering
from heart disease because they have pain in
the region of the heart, or palpitation, sell
dom have any disease of that organ. In nine
cases out of ten they are sufferers from dys-
pepsia-nothing more Congestion of the
lungs is most frequently caused by sudden
change from the heat of an ill-ventilated
room, or railroad car, or horse car, to the
cold air outside, without being protected by
sufficient clothing; hence many persons thus
seized drop dead in the streets.
Congestion of the brain most frequently
results from trouble and anxiety of mind,
producing sleeplessness, followed by the en-

In gathering apples from tho trees to store
for winter use, provide yourself with q strong,
light ladder, some two feet wide at the bot
tom and tapering to point at the top-the
two ends to be beveled together and pinned
this style of ladder being more easy to han
die and place among the top branches of a
tree than the one commonly used, and not
so much danger of knocking off the fruit. A
half-bushel basket, made of white oak splints,
with single handle extending from side to
side, and a strong hook fastened thereto to
hang up by on the limbs, answers the pur-
pose best In picking, take hold of the APP
pie, and by gentle twist of the hand it will
separate readily from the tree, and still retain
its stem. 1t should be gently laid (not care
lessly THROWN in the basket, the contents of
which, when full, should be carefully emp
tied upon a table fixed for the purpose, the
same to be covered with blanket or quilt to
prevent bruising This table should be about
six feet long and three feet wide, and have a
strip about two inches wide nailed all around
the edges to- keep the apples from rolling of.
The asserting and packing may now com
mence, in doing which it is best to make
three grades of apples-one of perfect fruit,
another of rather inferior quality, and the
third of such as are fit only for cider or to be
fed to the stock In placing the first two
sorts in barrels, lay single course on the
bottom, stems downward, and so proceed un-
til the barrel is full, except that the last
course should be placed with stems upward,
taking care to shake the barrel well, once or
twice during the process of filling. Too
much care cannot be taken in the above re-
spects, for upon the careful observance of
them all success in the production of first
class fruit depends. and without which man
had better sell his fruit for what he can get
rather than attempt to keep it for better
market or more satisfactory prices. The bar
rels so filled may then be headed up and set
away in some cool place until the approach
of winter, when they should be placed in
cellar, the temperature of which is never so
cold as to freeze. If one wishes to put up a
few barrels of choice apples for sale, their
preservation is not only greatly enhanced by
wrapping each apple in paper as further Sc
curity against bruisng in case of transporta-
ton, but it gives them a more attractive ap-
pearance on being opened. Baltimore Sun.
