The Medicinal Value Of Vegetables.


A celebrated cook book discusses
the medicinal value of vegetables,
as follows: Asparagus is strong diu-
retic, and forms part OF the cure for
rhumatic patients at such health resol IS
as AK les Brans. Sorrel is cooling,
snd.forms the staple of that soupe duc
herbee which French lady will order
for herself after long and firing
journey. Carrots, as containing a
quantity of sugar, are avoided by some
people, while others complain or them
as indigestible. With regard to the
latter accusation, it may be remarked,
in passing, that it is the yellow core of
the carrot that is difficult of digestion
the outer, red layer, is tender
enough. In Savoy, the peasants have
recourse to an infusion of carrots as a
specific for jaundice.
"The large, sweet onion is very rich
in those alkaline elements which coun-
teract the poison of rheumatic gout.
if slowly stewed in weak broth, and
eaten with little Nepaul pepper it
would be found to be an admirable
article of diet for patients of studious
and sedentary habits. The stalks of
caulifower have the same sort of value,
only too often the stalks of the cauli-
flower is so ill.boiled and. unpalatable
that few persons would thank you for
proposing to them to make part of their
meal consist of so uninviting an article.
Turnips in the same way, are often
thought to be indigestiole, and better
suited for cows and sheep than for de
licate people but here the fruit lies
with the cook quite as much as with
the root. The cook bois the turnip
badly, and then pours some butter over
it, and the eater. of such dish is sure
to be the worst for it. Try better
way. What shall be said about our
lettuces' The plant as a slight mar
cotic action, of which French old
woman like a French doctor, well
knows the value, and when properly
cooked it is really very easy of diges-
ton.

A Southern California Horse Farm.

Ex-Governor LELAND Stanford's
breeding farm for horses at Palo Alto,
is one of the most complete establish
ments of the kind in the world. OF
the seventeen hundred acres in the
place, one hundred are occupied by the
stables, barns, and small paddocks
The buildings, at the foot of gentle
rise of ground, make a small city by
themselves, inhabited by population
of nearly five hundred, who return
bither from their business on the pas.
lures and race tracks, and have two
hundred persons employed in their do
mestic service. The spacious barns are
uniformly foored and ceiled up with
redwood-a handsome material, which
resembles cedar in effect. They are
strewn with the freshest straw, and
kept as neat as the most unexceptional
drawing-rooms.
Scions from the stock here raised,
which represents the best thoroughbred
and trotting strains in the country, are
likely to be a most important Influence
in improving the breed of horses
throughout the Pacific coast. 1t wes
here that curious experiments were
conducted, at the expense of Cover
nor Stanford, for arriving at better
understanding of the speed of horses
by photographing them in rapid mo-
ton. The photographer Mr.. Muy-
bridge, of San Francisco, succeeded by
an ingenious arrangement of electrical
wires communicating at the touch of
the animal with cameras already pre-
pared, in securing twelve distinct views
OF the different stages of a single stride
The attitudes are of the most unexpect-
cd and curious sNrt, some of them high
ly comic.
Great pains are taken in the raising
and training of the young colts. From
the time of foaling the colts are handled
gently and constantly, are made as fa-
miliar with the touch of harness as
they are with that of human hands. As
natural consequence they are perfect
ly tame, gentle, and even affectionate,
and never need breaking. The effect
of this system of training has been ap
parent in the performances of some of
the colts which have been publicly
speeded against time. The first exhi-
tion of speed by Palo Alto colt was
made on the Bay District Association
track at San Francisco in 1880, when
the two-year-old colt Fred Crocker
lowered the record for a one-mile trot
to 2:254. Last year Bonita, a two
year old flly from Palo Alto, cut the
record down to 2:24t and latter, at
the same trotting exhibition, Wild.
flower, another two-year-old from the
same farm, made the mile in 2:2l and
Hinda Rose, yearling filly, on the
same day added to the fame of the
farm by cutting down the yearllng
record to 23:61. 1t is asserted that
there are colts on the farm which can do
even better.--W H. Bishop, in Har-
per's Magazine for October.

Useful Recipes.

COFFEE IN TYPHOID FEvER.-In the
early stages of typhoid fever Dr.
Guillasse, of the French Navy, has ad
ministered coffee with marked success.
Three tablespoonfuls are given adults
every two hours, alternating with one
or two teaspoonfuls of claret of Bur
gundy wine. A beneficial result is i'm
mediately apparent. A little lemon
ade or citrate of magnesia is also
administered daily, and after some
time quinine is recommended.
BANANAS FOR TEA.-Bananas are
delicious for tea slice them-not too
thin-scatter powdered sugar over
them, and before it dissolves squeeze
the juice of several oranges over them,
or oranges may be cut up and be mix
ed with them, or they may be served
with cream and sugar alone. They
make an agreeable dessert with whip.
ped cream sweetened and favored
with vanilla poured over them. A
tablespoonful of gelatine dissolved and
stirred into the cream gives little
body to it. Serve with sponge cake,
To PREVENT FLANNEL FROM FAD
ING.-To prevent scarlet flannel or
worsted goods of any description of
this color from fading when washed
take this precaution: Mix half cup
ful of Aour with quart of cold water,
. let II boil for ten or fifteen minutes,
then mix with the warm snds in which
the article is to be washed; squeeze
and rinse up and down repeatedly in.
stead of rubbing on a rubbing board.
If very much soiled wash in two OF
three waters, always taking care to
have them of the same temperature if
possible, and just cool enough to put
your hands in comfortably. Make the
suds before putting the garment in,
and avoid if you can, rubbing soap on
il.
