Bran Beds for the Rahies-

4 French doctor has invented new bed for
babies, which holds them safe in its custody,
and prevents them from ever giving any trouble
at night to their attendants. This gentleman
has subjected his system to the most trying of
all tests, for he has applied it To all his own
children, and considers that the life of one of
them is entirely owing TO its Use. The idea is
to ill the greater part of the cradle with bran.
and immerse the legs and part of the body Of
the child in this nest, covering them over IN the
usual way, but fastening down the counterpane
tight, So as to keep him firm in his place. Why
this change Of tactics should have the effect Of
taking away from the infant his usual desire tn
howl during part of every night is question
which will leave nurses to explain for them
selves, after they have tried the system. In the
meantime, until that trial has been made. it is
only civil To believe the testimony of Drs. BOur-
geois and vigoureux, who, in two French papers
of some authority, declare that sueh is the in
variable result. This is not, however, the only
advantage tn he expected from the system. The
bran is supposed TO have warming and slim
nlatins influence superior to any sort of cotton
or cloth. nd TO allow children Of the more sick
~ kind to develop more quickly, and to be
sooner able to use their limbs. The inventor of
the system declares that they delight in their
bran beds, and always ''qnit them with regret, y
when removed, at the age of two, to one of a
different kind.-LoHdoH Globe.

Wash Day Hints.

The discomfort and exhaustion of Washing days
may be avoided somewhat by using some fore
thought about dinner. Picked-up dinners should
be contrary to domestic law, because if one ever
needs good dinner il is ON washing day. The
easiest bill of fair is baked beans They
should he put to sbak over night in terid water,
and in the morning the water shou echanged,
and they should be sealded up in water with a
little soda in it. This takes away the strong,
disagreeable OdOr, and makes them cook more
easily. The water should be changed aftcrward,
and when the beans become n little soft they
should be SKINNED out and put baking with
enough salt pork to flavor them. II there are
some left they make agreeable addition TO the
supper table of workinsmen.
II potatoes are wanted besides, a few may he
baked. For pudding, one easily made and very
good is Indian meal pudding. Scald quart of
sweet milk; when just at the boiling point thick
it with several tablespoonfuls of meal, stirred
in a little milk. Add a teaspoonful of salt, one
half a teacupful Of mOlasscs, one teaspOonful of
ginger or cinnamon, as preferred, and table
spoonful of butter. After taking from the fire
add little cold milk, stir well and bake three
hours. skilifnl manager can prepare all these
dishes between times of her other work, and with
the dinner all in the oven, leaving the whole Of
the stove free for laundry operations aud it saves
the hurry and trouble Of cooking an ordinary
dinner, and the mind is free to attend to other
business without feeling 50 hurried.

Iutemperauce.

Intemperance cuts down youth in its strength,
and age in its weakness. Ii breaks the fathers
heart, bereaves the deting mother, eXtnguishes
natural affections, grasses conjngal love, blOts
out filial attachments, blights parental hope,
and brings down mourning age in sorrow to the
grave 1t produces weakness, not strength !;
sickness, not health; death, not life. 1t makes
wives widows, children orphans, fathers fends,
aud all of them paupers and beggars. 1t feeds
rheumatism, nurses CONT, welcomes epidemics,
invites cholera, imports pestilrnce, and embraces
consumption. 1t covers the land with idleness,
misery, and crime. 1t fills your jaiis, supplies
your almshouses, and demands your asylums.
IL crowds your penitentiaries, and furnishes vic
Tins to your scaffold 1t is the life blood Of the
gambler. the element of the burglar, the prop of
the highwayman, and the support Of the mid
night ineendiary. 1t countenances the liar, re-
spects the thief esteems the blasphemer. Ii
violates obligations, reyerences fraud, and hon
OTIS infamy. Ii defames beneyolence, hates love,
scorns yirtne. and ISLANDERS innocence. IL in
cites the author to murder his offspring. helps
the husband massacre his wife, and the child TO
grind the parriclal axe. 1t burns up men, con-
sumes women, detests life, curses God, and de-
spises heaven. Ii degrades the citizen, debases
the Legislators, dishonors statesmen, and dis
arms the patriot. 1t brings shame, not honor !;
terror, not safety despair, not hope; misery,
not happiness; and with the malevolenee of .
tend, it calmly surveys its frightful desolation.
and. satisfied with its havoc, il poisons fidelity,

Stays reputation, and wipes out national honors;

writer in the London Lancet remarks that
few people know the value of lemon juice. A
piece of lemon bound upon n corn will cure it in
a few days; il should be renewed night and NOR
ming. 4 free use of lemon jnice and sugar will
always relieve cough. Most people feel poorly
in the Spring, but if they would eat lemon be-
fore breakfast every day for a week-with or
without sugar, as they like-they would find it
better than any medicine.
Lemon juice used according to this recipe will
sometimes cure consumption: Put dozen lenl-
ons into cold water and slowly bring to n boil;
boil slowly until the lemons are soft but not too
soft, then squeeze until the juice is extracted,
add sugar to taste, and drink. In this way use
one one dozen lemons day. If they cause pain,
loosen the bowels too much, lessen the guam
tity and use but five or six day until you are
better, and then begin again with dozen day.
After using five or six dozen the patient will
begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to
the lemons, and still use them very freely several
weeks more.
Another for lemons is for a refreshing drink
in Summer, OF in sickness at any time. Prepare
asdirected above, and add water and sugar. But
in order to have this keep well, after boiling the
lemons, squeeze them and strain carefully; then
TO each half pint Of juice add one pound Of loaf
sugar, boil and stir n few minutes more until
the sugar is dissolved. skim carefully, and bottle
You will get more juice from the lemons by boil
ing them, and the preparation keeps better.

The Man Who was Senator Chandler.

One day in 1864. Senator Zach Chandler was
n passenger on the train from Owosso to Ian
sing, and, strangely enough, no one in the cal
had any idea of his identity. Two men had the
seat behind him, and from talking of war they
printed to politics, and naturally enough Chan
dlers name became mixed up. Both men were
red hot against him, and directly one of them
observed:
ats wonder to me that some one doesn't
shoot the old bOod-letter.
''Oh, he'll get his dose yet, and don't you for
get it, replied the other.
The Senator turned slowly around, took d
good look at both, and then-said
''Gcntlemen, please speak a little lower; an

He thought he had them frozen solid, but he
was mistaken. He had scarcely turned his
head, when one of them leaned forward and re
