REMEDIES FOR EMERGENCIES.-.F Few
young mothers are able to control their
nerves so completely as to keep from be-
ing startled when confronted by cut
finger with dripping blood, and the loud
cries which announce a catastrophe.
Sometimes she cannot collect her tho'ts
sufficiently to recall any of the good
remedies with which she is acquainted.
One way to avoid this is to write out a
list of help in trouble, and tack it on
the door of the room, after the manner
of hotel regulations. There is nothing
better for cut than powdered rosin.
Get a few cents worth of rosin, pound
until fine, and put it into an empty,
clean pepper or spice box, with perfora-
ted lid then you can easily sift it out
on the cut put soft cloth around the
injured member and wet it with cold
water once in a while. It will prevent
Inflammation and soreness. In doing
up burn the main thing is to keep the
air from it. If sweet oil and cotton are
not at hand, take cloth and spread dry
-four over it and wrap the burned part
in it. 1t is always well to have some
simple remedies in the house which you
can get without moments loss Of time;
little bottle of peppermint in case of
collie; chlorate OF potash for sore throat;
pepsin for indigestion and a bottle OF
brandy. Have them arranged so that
you could go to them in the dark and
reach the right remedy, but be sure you
never do it even if you know they have
not been disturbed always light lamp
or the gas and make sure you get what
you are after. Remember that pistols
are always loaded, and that poison may
be placed there in place OF peppermint.

who treats ordinary pain lightly, roll on
the ground in agony after being stung,
and 1 have known a horse so completely
mad after being in a grove of the trees
that he rushed open-mouthed at every
one who approached him, and had to be
shot. Dogs, when stung, will rush

AN EXPERIMENT WITH TOMATOES

AN EXPERIMENT WITH TOMATOES.
This season has been a favorable one
for tomatoes, aud although the time for
setting them out has passed, 1t is hardly
out of place to give the result of several
methods, by way of experiments, which
may interest those engaged in growing
them. Plants of the same age and
height were placed in parallel rows, one
row being heavily manured and treated
in the usual manner, while the other
row was subjected TO different process.
Before the plants were set out square
hole one foot in diameter was dug for
each plant, the depth being about two
feet. At the bottom coal ashes were
placed, and the plant was set directly on
the ashes. A mixture of manure and
dirt was then filled in around the plant,
which was placed at such depth as to
leave only a few inches Of the top shoots
out of ground. The manure used was
less than that used for those set in the
usual manner, The plants are plainly
perceptible as the plants in these rows
containing the coal ashes have made
double growth and tower above these II
the other rows, It is no claimed that
the application of coal ashes was the
cause of such rapid growth, as the ex'
perimenter used them for convenience,
but the preparation made by their use
admitted Of good drainage, while the
reecptacles of the roots were deep and
safe from dryness, aud the application
of the manure and die was such as tC
allow the plants good feeding room and
plenty Of it. The extra preparation saw
ed manure and gained growth.

Starvation as a Cure for Dyspepsia.

Many dvspeptics have completed the
ruin OF their stomachs by starvation.
Observing that, for the time being, it
affords relief. they conclude that in this
they are to find cure. But after lit
tie while. they find, to their sorrow,
that the stomach with almost nothing
to do. accommodates itself with this moth
ing. and loses the power of digestion.
An intelligent lady said
about d year ago I began to suffer
with heartburn and constipation. A
friend advised me to go without supper,
and take only a small quantity of bread
and baked apples for dinner and break
fast. At first I was delighted with the
change. All my nervousness and low
spirits passed away, and / thought Ihad
discovered an important secret. After
a time found that even the small guam
tity was eating was too much, reduc-
ed It still further. Within three or
four months my stomach and my whole
body became so weak that / found the
least increase in the quantity Of food.
or an unusual exercise, produced great
weakness and suffering in my stomach.
Within the year / lost more than thirty
pounds of flesh, and my stomach is now
so weak that an extra swallow Of water,
an extra baked apple, produces great
suffering"
This woman, being young, will recov-
er. but it will be through great suffer
ing. I recommended the moderate use
of meat, and a gradual Increase in the
quantity and strength of her nutriment.
The tone of the stomach, like the tone
of the muscles, may be lost by lack of
exercise. While it is a common thing
to find dyspepsia produced by excessive
and injudicious eating, it certainly is
not uncommon to meet cases produced
by starvation.
There is a curious fact about digest
tion which is not easily explained. It
is that haTd-working men can diges-
strong food with greater satisfaction
than light, digestible things. For ex-
ample, / have known many such per-
sons who could digest hard boiled eggs
! better than soft ones. They not only
| relished them better, but the hard ones
seemed to agree with their stomachs.
An old woman to whom l was men,
/ tioning this fact, said:
| ''Sartin alters knowed that and
will tell you why. Now my old man
/ couldn't never eat pap. It turned his
stomach; but laws o. mercy how that
! critter put down cheese Ye see there
+ waas suthin' in the cheese for the stu
mick to get hold on, John never could

a TOAD's CUNNING.-ChaTleSW White,
of New Castle, has a brood of chickens
which have the run of a portion of the
yard, the old hen being shut up. The
chickens are fed with moistened meal in
saucers, and when the dough gets sour
it attracts large number of flies. An
observant toad has evidently noticed it,
and every day towards evening he makes
his appearance in the yard, hops to sau-
Ger, climbs in and rolls over and over till
he is covered with meal, having done
this he awaits developments. The flies,
enticed Oy the smell, soon swarm round
the scheming batrachin, and whenever
one passes within two inches or so of his
nose his tongue darts out and the fly dis
appears; and this plan works so well that
the toad has taken it up as aIegular bus
iness. The chickens do not manifest the
least alarm at their clumsy and big
mouthed playmate, but seem to consider
it quite lark to gather around him and
peck his stolen coat of meal, even when
they have plenty more of the same sort
in theIsaucers.-Ne, Hampshire Gazette.

A Brokers Mistake.

The following story is told of Francis Drexel, the father of the well-known Philadelphia banker. Soon after the close of the war with Mexico many Spanish and Mexican silver dollars found their way into the United States, and were bought up by bankers and money dealers all over the country. The price paid fer them varied greatly. according to the demand and supply and the con- dition of the pieces themselves. At ths close of rainy day, during which Dr. Drexel-then doing a very modest busi-- ness on Third street, Philadelphia, as a, money and exchange broker--had been a large buyer of Mexican silver, and while he WAS engaged in accounting his purchases preparatory to settling his cash account, the door Of his banking house was suddenly opened by a plainly dressed man, who exclaimed "l only nave 100 left; do you want them ?"
 MT. Drexel, without raising lis head, replied: "Iu g.ye you 5o cents for them P
 "No," said the man, "I've sold all the others at 75 cents, and only. have 100 left"
 MT. Drexel replied :"I have boug' ! them all day at 60 cents, and if yours have no holes iu them I will take thela at the same price, and that is the mest. you can get tor them. "I never saw any with holes in tEeHa, said the man.
 "Didnt you?" said Mr. Drcx<l "Ealf of what we get are full of ilol,.r, where they have been used As buttons. The man scratched his head moment,

 | Five minutes sftefward he appeared with small tin kettle, and, waking U, to the counter, said '' Where shall 1 put them y'
 .'Pour them cut b.re," said Dir, D-exel, indicating particular spot on the counter.

 Mir. Drexel, without withdrawing his 1 attention from the counting of his puroh- ases of the day, called to his son Frsnk 70 [" bring tray" When the tray WAS ,rought it was founI to have large crack across it, to which the man stlel- uously objected, saying They will all fall through This nettled old Mr. Drexei, who, ln rather sharp woids, told him |" That tray has held thousands and thousands of them every day" and furthermore, in peremptory terms, bado him "pour them out quick"
 Accordingly, the kettle was raised tu the level of tho counter, and 100 fat, ra~ oysters poured into the cracke q tray much to the chagrin and disgust of th4 tanker and his sou, the former of whom, exclaimed Why, these gre oysters [ l "Woli, "sai d the oys term an (wno knev nothing of M.xiean silser), "what ths d. dlo you think taey were?"

Power of the Plug Hat.

The plug hat is virtually a sort of social guarantee for the preservation of peace and order He who puts one on has given a hostage to the community for his good behavior. The wearer of 8 plug hat must move with a certain se- dateness and propriety. lie cannot run, or jump, or romp, or get into teht, except at the peril of his head-gear. All the hidden influences of the beaver tend toward responsibility. He who wears one is obliged to keep the rest of his body in decent trim, that there may be no incongruity between head and body. He is apt to become thoughtful through the necessity of watching the sky when- ever he goes out. The chances are that he will buy an umbrella, which is an- other guarantee for good behavior, and the care of hat and umbrella-perpetual and exacting as 1t must ever be-adds to the sweetness of his character. The man who wears plug hat naturally takes to the society of women, and all its ele- vated tendencies. He cannot go hunt ing and fishing without abandoning his beloved hat, but in the modern enjoy ment of croquet and lawn tennis he may sport his beaver with impunity. In nthe. words. the constant use of a plug hat makes a man composed in manner, quiet and gentlemanly ill conduct, and the companion of the ladies. The insv- itable result is prosperity, marriage and church membership.
