in a case of strychnine poisoning Is cir
cumstantially narrated In Nature: A fav-
orite Sky tenier had accidentally
obtained and eaten the poison, which
was intended for mice. The amount
taken by the dog was probably about a
sixth of grain. When found, the AM
NAL was rigid and apparently hfeiess,
except having an occasional spasm. The
owner consulted authorities and found
that a dose of chloraI hydrate was the
antidote prescribed in such cases. To
kill rabbit, 81 grains Of the chloral Is
sufficient; the dog was twice the weight
of the rabbit, and the owner OF the ter
rier therefore proceeded to inject 40
grains of chloral Gn solution) under its
skin, About fifteen minutes afterward,
supposing the dog was dead. the cwner
applied his boot to it, probably feeling
q little disgusted with the results OF his
experiment. To his great surprise the
terrier struggled to his feet. Shortly
afterward it took some milk, and subse-
quently, though not for while very
lively, it seemed none the worse for its
experience. The essential point in this
treatment is that the dose of chloral
should be strong enough to kill; other
wise it may not be sufficient to overcome
the effects of strychnine.
SALT IN INTERMITTENT FEvRR.-The
directions are to take handful of pow
dered white salt, such as is used IN
kitchens, and roast it in clean stove
(new, il pos.ible) with moderate heat
till it becomes of brown color, like
that of roasted coffee. The dose for al
adult is a soup-spoonful dissolved in a
slass of warm water, taken at once. 1t
should be stated that when the fever
makes its appearance at intervals OF two,
three, or four days, the remedy should
be taken fasting, on the morning of the
day following the fever. To overcome
the thirst excited by the salt, q small
quantity of water should be taken
through a straw. During the forty
eight hours which followed the taking
of the salt, the appetite should bo satis-
fed with chicken or beef broth only; it
is especially necessary at the tune to
observe severe diet, and to avoid TAX
ing cold. The author asserts that during
the eighteen years thai he has used this
method of treatment he has never been
unsucc .ssful. The remedy is certainly
harmless, and perhaps worthy of trial.
A DELICIOUS PUDDING-A plain but
delicious tapioca pudding can be made
with very little else but tapioca and ap-
Piles. Most recipes say soak over night,
but a very nice one can be made with
out soaking at all. Put your tapioca
over in cold water and boil till it is clear,
like starch; while that is boiling you
pare and core few apples. The num-
Der of apples and quantity of taploca
used must be according to the number to
be fed. 1t is hard to spoil the pudding, it
is so simple. Put the apples In another
dish, and cover with water, adding ht
tie sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon; boil
till nearly soft, and then turn the clear
tapioca over them, and bake little
while; do not forget to put salt in your
pudding. or you will have very taste

ing with the bread crumbs. Mix your
parsley and onion with salt and pepper
through your bread crumbs. Put Jumps
