Ohilhlains.

Chilblains are always susceptible of
relief, and generally of cure. The treat
ment consists of putting them in water,
morning and evening. Perhaps while
the suffering is greatest it may be much
more frequently done, say once in two
or three hours. The feet are always to
be gently and thoroughly rubbed while
in the water. The temperature of the
water is always to be determined by the
feeling in the feet. Ii cold, the water
should be cold; when they burn, the
water should be hot. But the great
secret of cure is to be found in wearing
soft woollen stockings which are changed
for fresh ones every day. and wearing
shoes with soles so broad that not the
slightest pressure is made upon the af-
fected parts. Arctic ovcrshoes should
be worn when the temperature is low, so
that the feet shall never become cold.
This treatment viii never fail to relieve
at once, and is certain finally to effect 3
complete cure.

Hasty Marriages.


Betteretoe long a courtship than a
short one. Undue haste often results in
unspeakable misery in matrimonial al
liances. Love is proverbially blind; he is
more-he is wiifully blind, should be
made to open his eyes. A little COM
mon sense mingles advantageously with
everything; SO far from being out of
place, it is absolutely essential TO safety
in affairs of the heart. Many girl has
had her whole happiness for life de-
stroyed because she obstinately chose TO
form her estimate of the character OF
sutton exclusively by his behavior toward
her, and his professions of love, rather
than by his conduct toward others 1t Is
a pretty safe rule that a man whose
whole life IS but an exempliiication of
selfishness, will not long continue gem
erous in relation to his wife. Character
is seldom reyolutionized by marriage.
There may be slight reform temper
arily; ii rarely lasts long. And men sui
fer as well as women from il-assorted
marriages. Many a towering ambition
has been crushed, many cupfm OF
happiness has been converted into the
dreps of bitterness, from the neglect of

quainted with girl before engaging

who begins life with no advantage of

way to a good place. He gives his heart
to what he has to do-net half the time,

gladly; and not merely for the sake of a
salary, but because he loves to be ct it,
and makes the work in good measure its

The Outcome of Connecticut Mans Ven.
1.,ra an Florida

Decidedly the most notable figure in
the history of Florida development is
General Sanford, a Connecticut man.
His life has been a brilliant one. He in
herited large fortune, married another,
and by the luckiest ventures added
largely to both. He always lived lavish
" and had loose business methods, but
an irrepressible luck attended all his in
vestments. He made considerable mon
ey in the Wheeler & Wilson Company.
The most of his life has been spent in
diplomatic service. When quite young
he went as Secretary of Legation to ST.
Petersburg, and was for some time act
ing Minister to France in the absence of
Mr.. Rivers, whose chief clerk he was.
For several years he was Minister to
Belgium, and was reappointed by Mr..
Hayes, but the Senate failed to confirm
him.
His investments in Florida began with
the purchase of 10000 acres-a Spanish
grant, afterward known as the Sanford
grant. He paid $50, 900 for this, and at
once began a series of improvements.
He built two hotels at an expense of
about 500, 900. and laid out the town of
Sanford, which now has over 1000 in
habitants. He established a grove on
the edge of Lake Monwe at a cost of
$4,000, and then finding the ground
and exposure unsuitable, transpianted
it and established the now famous Be-
lair grove. He intended to make this a
nursery of al traits adapted to Florida,
and therefore imported the best orange,
lemon, lime. fig, citron and guava trees
at great cost, until he had spent $780,
900 on the grove. It is estimated that
he expended over $500. 600 on his grant,
making the total cost about $3.50, 600.
He sold probably about 100000 worth
of lands and lots to settlers. and a short
time since sold the bulk of the rest toan
English company for 100000. He re-
served however, his Belair grove, worth
$4,000. Some say that he also resery-
ed the two hotels, and others that he re-
served also one-third of what he sold,
and in the meantime 5000 acres have
been added by later purchase. He clear
ed very handsome fortune by his
Florida investments, besides develop
ing one of the best sections Of the State.
At onetiIne he came near being elected
United States Senator from Florida. it
being said that be failed through lack
of nerve. He now lives in Belgium,
having proceeded there immediately up
on his nomination by Mr.. Evarts, never
dreaming that his confirmation would
fail. He fitted up an elegant home there,
and is bound to keep it for several years.
He is an agreeable, accomplished gem
tleman, and believes thoroughly in the
future of Florida. He has large inter
ests in Alabama and Louisiana-ives

Bill Mortimer is one of these smart

unarring Instinct.

Women are especially valuable in the
treasury service, many of them rising to
the proficiency of experts. This is espe-
cially true of them as rapid and accurate
counters, as restorers of mutilated cur
rency, and as counterfeit detectors. A
man viii examine note Systematically,
and deduce logically from the engrav-
ing, blurred vignette, or indistinct sigma
ture. that it is a counterfeit, and be
wrong four cases out of ten. A woman
picks up note, looks at it in a desul-
tory fashion of her own, and says:
That's counterfeit. y s'Why?" Because
it isl she says promptly, and she is
right in eleven cases out of twelve. Yet
this almost unerring accuracy is by no
means the result of mere instinct or of
hap-hazard chance. 1t is the sequence of
subtle perception, of fine, keen vision,
and of exquisite sensitiyeness of touch.
A naturally quick woman will in time
command skin in her work which it is
impossible for men to attain.

Packing Eggs.

The question of storing eggs was dis
cussed at recent Iowa Convention,
and it was conceded by ell that cold
storage, temperature 40 to 20 degrees,
kept uniform, with eggs packed proper
~ or in cases, will keep in good condi-
ton from six to nine months; but they
must be used soon after being taken out
of the cold storage, as they soon spoil.
Eggs become musty from being packed
in bad material; will become musty in
eases, as change of temperature from
lower to higher causes the eggs to sweat
and paper to become moist and faint the
eggs. Well-dried oats a year old are the
best for packing. Eggs become injured
by Earring in shipping, by mixing. Fresh
eggs mix worse than those kept in cold
storage. Eggs held in cold storage in the
West should be, shipped in refrigerator
ears in Summer. Eggs will keep thirty
days longer if stood on the little end
than in any other position; must be kept
in an even temperature and pure at
mosphere Eggs laid on the side attach
to the shell, and are badly injured. To
prevent imposition as to the freshness OF
eggs, the egg gatherers should candle
them when they get themfrom the farm
