A Valuable Eminent

Scarcely week passes" says a physician,
that there is not report of some one who has
died of tetanus, commonly called lock Jaw

stuck in the body-usually nail in the foot
Such wounds will generally prove harmless if
the following liniment be promptly applied ::

called to see boy twenty-four hours after he
had stuck n rusty nail in his foot. He appeared
to be in intense agony, and his foot was consid-
erably swollen. opened the wound so that the
serum flowed little from it, and then folded
piece Of soft cotton cloth, eight ply, and thor
oughly saturated it with the liniment and hound
it on the wound, giving instructions to renew
the application every two hours until relief be
given. In six hours l called to see the boy and
he was out in the yard playing, and suffered no
more from the wound. The Iiniment is good for
any fresh wound on man beast, and every
family ought to keep bottle of it. do not az

Pigs for Patching.

In selecting the pig best suited for converting
food into pork, there several matters to be
observed, and these should be paramount at the
outset, As no after-cure can compensate for er-
rors in selection. Fitness in bone insures having
but little offal, and pig with fine bone seldom
diisapponts his owner when he is slaughtered
broad, dished face, with short snont and
turned up, indicates an aptitude Ia fatten and
is one of the surest indications of u good pig
No hog should have brstles, as these have been
bred away from all of the best breeds and they
will not be tolerated at present on any respeta-
BILE farm, for they indicate coarseness, restless
ness, and prepnndcrence of offal. Besides these
outward indications, which includes squareness
of form, finrness of hair, and depth and length
of carcass the propensities of the pig should be
observed. He should not he a sGuealer nor
should he be restless. He should eat quietly
and after his hunger is appeased should patient
ly lie down, without even travelling around his
pen. As rule the disposition Of the pig and his
prOpensties correspond to his form, and but few
errors will be made if the selection of the pig is
made as directed. No should he fed till
just previous to hardening the fat, and all heat
ing or fat producing food should be avoided as
much as possible during the summer. pig

The three opening days Of August, 1898, wit
messed Nelson's splendid victory over the Freach
fleet, in AbOukir Bay-the most glorious naval
victory since the defeat of the Armada. The
opening days of August, 1882, find an English
fleet once more in Aboukir Bay with hostile in
tent. But the condolences of the situation are
not more remarkable than its contrasts Less
than century has elapsed since the guns of
the English and French fleets, engaged in dead
ly conflict, awoke the echoes of the Egyptian
shore. Yet, in that limited period, so great a
change has come over the style of naval arma-
ments, that if Nelson could return TO witness
the transformation, we may imagine his per-
plexity To Ice equal Ia that of n coachman of the
old school, If suddenly confronted with the ap-
paratns of a railway. We neither travel nor
fight after the manner of our forefathers and
the difference between a stage coach and loco
motive can scarcely be greater than the con-
trast between Nelson's flag ship and that of Sir
Beanchamp Seymour. In one respect indeed
our war ships of the present day directly violate
a principle laid down by the departed hero. an
a naval action" said Nelson, "something must
be left TO chance, and those who fire the largest
number of shots mnst have the greatest number
of chances" But, had Nelson been called upon
TO destroy the forts of Alexandria, his array of
ordnance wOuld never have disposed of those
defenses in that shortDess of time and with that
completeness of overthrow which signalired the
bomhariment of the other day. The victory
which shed glory on the British flag on August
j, 119s, and which was consummated in the two
following days. was won BY means of tactics
adapted to the ornaments Of the period, but
which would he Utmost entirely inapplicabls
now. The old "hammer aud tongs- principle
may still underlie our naval tactics, but the de-
vel0pment of that idea will have to be governed
by circumstances differing essentially from those
of the past era.-London Standard.

A Novel Cure For Brieht's Disease.

About twenty years ago n daughter of mine
then about years old-was given up to die by
the physician, who said the disease was incu-
rable, and it was never known TO he cured either
in Europe or America. The physician, on giving
the case up, told my wife to give the child any
thing tlatit wanted, and to make her as comfort
able possible while she lived. The child call
ed for beans; so my wife cooked some as quickly
rs possible, not stopping to parboil them, as is
done, bnt boiled beans, pork and potatoes all
in the first water and when well cooked she
gave them to the child. The child then went to
sleep, and from that time began to improve
She is now the mother of two children. She is
not troubled with the disease unless she takes
severe cold, and when that happens she at once
uses her old remedy, and it is always effeetual
The physician who attended her called few
days after the the experiment, and was surprised
to see the change in the child; he inquired what
had been done for her, and, upon hearing, his
surprise was increased, he inquired the manner
in which the food was cooked. After thinking,
he said that the only cause was perhaps that
the beans were cooked in the first water The
PHYSICIANS now dead, or would refer TO him to
verify the facts. BP

Leaves for Bedding.

In the scarcity of rye straw, and the absence
of saw dust, and other material for bedding ca Z
tie, We have been forced TO forest leaves To
keep the horse and COW in eleanly condition.
and on the whole are much pleased with them.
The gathering was from the road side, and along
the walls where brush and leaves had accuInu-
lated for years. A few basketfulls were put I'M
der the animals every morning, and kept there
until they were well saturated with the urine,
and then thrown cut into the manure heap.
With plenty of this material, kept dry under
a shed, and used abundantly, there is very little
loss of liquid manure. As as absorbent il is
much more effective than expected to find it,
Leaves have high reputation as a material for
the hOt-bed and the compost heap, and are
worth the labor of gathering. in most cases, for
their fertilizng properties. Cords of them are
going to decay in sight of almost every rural
home, and it is the rare exception that they are
utilized. Meanwhile the fields and garden are
famished for want Of manure, or supplied with
concentrated fertilizers at forty dollars a ton

have the butcher cut from the quarter slice
ten or twelve inches long; take out the bone,
divide il lengthwise into pieces about six inches
thick following the layers Of muscle as closely
rs possible. Then it is in such form that when
il is shaved for use one can always cut across
the grain, which makes half the difference in
the enjoyment of it Prepare a brine sufficient
to cover the beef; let the brine contain as mueh
salt as the water will dissolve. For each tweu-
ty-ive pounds of beef take three pounds of
white sugar and one-half ounce of saltpeter
dissolved in hot water, also dissolve the sugar
in hot water, then add both to the brine Put
in the meat, and place n weight upon it to keep
it under the brine. When it has been in the
brine abort ten days take it ont, drain it. fasten
strings through the ends of each piece, and sus-
pend them from the ceiling over the kitchen stove
Do not let the pieces touch each other. Pin
newspaper around each one to keep off the dust
In ten days it will be dried enough. Do not dry
il as much You like il to be, for it will dry
out after coming from the hooks. When taken
down sew each piece in cloth and paint il all over
III these directions are followed we will warrant
the beef to keep till eaten. IL you want it smo-
ked it can be hung in the smoke-house, or in
barrel and smoked with cobs. Keep the barrel
well covered, and do not let the cobs blaze
The smoke dries il at the same time. Beeftongues
can be prepared in the same way as beef, but n
nice plan is to have jar of brine as above, and
put the tongues in it, weighing them down.
Keep them in until wanted; then take what are
needed, soak over night, and boil four hours.
Pickle the beef and tongues while the weather
Is cold. IL is difficult to keep them from spoil
ing if picked in hot weather
