on the continent, and Tyndall, In Eng
land. The researches which are sc
decisive were made by Professor Binz
of Bonn, with very powerful microscop-
ic apparatus. and extends over period
of several years. Beng victim to q
distressing malady-hay fever, SO pre-
valent IN May and June in this country
the Bonn Investigator suspected from
the seasonable prevalence of the disease,
that it was traceable to the vegetable
organism. Having armed himself with
a powerful immersion lens of q Hartnack
microscope, he subjected the nasal secre-
tions to analysis. In examining the
secretions he usually found organism
wholly absent, except when suffering
with the disease in the spring. When
laid on the warm stage of the microscope
these organic or parasitical bodies were
distinctly seen in motion, vibrating
backwards and forwards in life and, after
several days, had evidently increased In
size. They adhere tenaciously to the
lower cavities of the nose and can be
discharged only by violent sneezing.
But the most beautiful part of the re
search was In the discovery OF the RENE
dy for their presence IN the human
system. On preparing neutral solution
of sulphate of quinine, free from adul-
teration by chinchonia, and applying
this to the nostrils with pipette or
simple nose-douche, the desired effect
was Immediately secured. The poison
GUS action of quinine on infusora was
perfectly brought out, the symptoms of
irritation completely disappeared, and
the lens revealed the entire absence of
animalcule in agreement with those ar
rivedat in 1870 by Dr. Frickhoefer, of
Schwabach, and Professor Bush, of Bonn,
both of whom, with Helmholtz, the
greatphysiologist, have successfully APP
piled quinine for the cure of this paras-
itical malady.
BIsULPHIDZ of carbon is recommended
for the determination of the squashvine
borer; it is applied by making a small
hole with pointed stick, at the root of
the plant, pouring in half teaspoon
iul of the liquid, and quickly closing
the hole with the foot The liquid Is
extremely volatile, and its vapor is very
poisonous and terribly explosive, SO that
the greatest of care must be exercised
in handling it, and no fire, not even so
much as lighted pipe or cigar, must
be tolerated in its vicinity.
RHUBARB ELLY.-Take some rhubarb,
wipe it with a clean wet cloth, peel it,
and cut into pieces an inch long. To
each pound OF rhubarb add /. pound of
white sugar. Put it to boil for about
ten minutes, or until the juice is well
drawn. Strain it into preserving pan,
let it boil quickly until it clings to the
spoon, skim it and put it into jam pots
or moulds. The quickest way to know
If it Will set is to drop little on plate
to cool.
NOODLE SoUP.-Two eggs mixed with
flour and little salt; roll it out like
a pie crust, only make it thin as posi-
bic; set it away till dried little; when
ready for soup roll the crust all up with
the hands and cut it into very thin slices
from the end, which pull out so they
seem like string. Have some fresh
milk, pepper, salt and butter heating,
into which drop the strings of noodle
then let them boil up about five minutes,
when they will be done. A nice addition
would be some green corn OFF the cob,
boiled up in the milk.
If It's possible to give up small room,
with window in it, for the purpose of
storing bed-clothes 1t is a good plan to |
do so. Have shelves made to hold them; |
have them made of narrow strips of wood /
with wide spaces between them. If this 1
is done you need not be afraid of them /
gathering dampness. To effectually pro- /
tect them from the dust YOU can hang 4
curtains over them; this can be done |
over any shelves N closets and VIII be |
found useful.
CREAMED POTATOES some new
potatoes, cold boiled. and cut them in /
very thin slices. This is important.
Put in a saucepan with little butter
and cream, enough to mOisten well: salt 4
to taste. Stir lightly and constantly
until they are very hot. Put in a Gov
cred dish, and sprinkle little black .
pepper on the top. Serve Immediately. 1
