THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

SIMPLE ELIXIR. very pleasant
vehicle for the administration Of medi.
cines which are to be given in solution
is prepared by mixing together two
fluid ounces each Of orange-fower
water and simple syrup, adding half a
fluid ounce of alcohol to preserve. and
coloring with two draehms of COM
pound tincture of cardamons. This
will be found of service to the eoun-
try physician who is obliged to dis
pense his own medicine.
a NATIONAL LACK.-Dr. Selden
FL. Talcott, superintendent of the New
York state homeopathic asylum for
the insane, says that our national lack
is th at of recuperating sleep. Against
the use of the so-called hypnotics in
massive doses he protests, because the
temporary benefits are heavily dis
counted by the evil effects which al
most always follow. Two conditions
oppose the requirements Of sleep.
These are hyperamia Of the brain
stimulating it to undue activity, and
playing the part of whip and spur
to tired horse-and the opposite OF
hyperamia, excessive cerebral anamia.
To relieve the former by rational
methods, the blood forces must be en-
ticed away from their persistent as
saults upon the cranial fortress" This
can best be accomplished by filling the
stomach with solid food, thus furnish
ing temporary engagement for the
pugilistic globules on other fields"
The food should be of the coarsest
and plainest, else the remedy might
produce an aggravation. Should ex'
cessive anamia exist, and state OF
nerve irritability and trepidation be
thus produced, take liquid food, such
as hot milk, beef tea, and broths, about
an hour before sleep is intended. This
is of peculiar value to persons of sed-
entary habits, to those who take too
little exercise, and to those who suffer
from imperfect circulation. Sleep
may usually be obtained, after hard
and irritating days work, by warm
bath, cold douche, and brisk rub
bing following that, just previous to
retiring for the night. Fresh air
should be freely supplied in every
sleeping room; yet the sleeper should
be protected from even moderate
draughts; for these, though apparently
slight at first. will produce chilliness
of one portion of the body, while an
other may be overheated, and thus a
disturbing inequality of circulation
ensues. Beds should be firm in tex
ture, level. and we'll elevated from the
floor. for thus complete circulation
around the bed is secured.

THE Farm AND HOUSEHOLD,


A novel pla1 for setting celery and
cabbage plants which has several
desirable points to recommend it is to
place them between the rows of your
potatoes or sweet corn after the last
hoeing. The growing corn or potatoes
will afford partial shade, which is
very desirable at the time Of setting
the young plants and until they get
fully established, and yet ripen and
can be removed in time for them 10

Two crops on one piece of ground,
with one dollars worth of labor and

The business of condensing milk is
likely to be a growing one, as it enables
farmers at distance from cities to get
as good prices for milk as those who
live near enough to supply them with
fresh milk. Condensing milk is simply
evaporating a portion of the water,
which is its chief constituent, the milk
being then sweetened with sugar for
its better preservation. If it be used
within a few days, the sugar is not
necessary. In both cases, the condens-
ed milk, when to be used is diluted
with water to the natural condition OF
good, rich milk. For ships use or ex-
portation, this is the only way that
milk can be safely or economically

The Christian at Work thinks it is
perfect marvel how some of the letters
which fall into the puzzled hands of
post-office officials ever reach their des-
nation. The blind readers" as those
are called who decipher hieroglyphics
seem to be able to follow any clew,
however slight it may be. and to find
a person to whom letter is addressed,
even when the writer gives no intima-
ton. When a man who sees the words
'signigicol's Hotel can guess correctly
that it means St. Nicholas Hotel, he
has, indeed, faculty for reading a
superscription which consists of "nine
hieroglyphics, five scratches, three dots,
and a blot" and should hold his Office

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The idea that lightning is not so
destructive as it used to be in the
United States, because the network of
railroads and telegraph wires lessons
the number of accidents, is met by the
record of the summer. Fatal thunder
bolts have never been more common.
Some of the reasons for distress in
Ireland last year are shown in the
statistics of crops gathered in 1881 and
1882. There was decrease in all of
the more important agricultural pro-
ducts, amounting in potatoes to nearly
million and d half tons. This de-
crease alone would account for great
deal of suffering.
A well-posted treasury official gives
it as his opinion that there are at least
fifteen million trade dollars in the
New York banks and repositories, and
that before Congress meets the amount
will be increased to twenty millions.
He says that the syndicate of specula-
tors who have taken hold of the trade
dollar will move on Congress with a
powerful lobby next winter, and that
there is 100000 or $2,500,000 in the
job if they can induce the government
to legitimize the coin.
The Medical NeacS says: eve have
previously stated that it is improbable
that cholera will reach the United
States this year, but that it is an even
chance that we shall have it next year.
Since that opinion was published the
danger has diminished very little, if
any, and while there is not the slight
est occasion for panic, there is very
urgent need of enforcing cleanliness,
of looking to the purity of the water
supply, and of great care in the adj
ministration of our quarantine stations.
The geographical limits of some of
the worlds great cities seem to bear
but little relation to the number of
their inhabitants. New York now
includes Al square miles, or 26,5O0
acres; Paris, within the Notifications,
consists of 28I square miles, or 1886
acres; London has 122 square miles, or
about 1900 acres; Philadelphia, with
population of 100000, has the sur,
prising geographical area of 129 square
miles-which is considerably more
than is covered by London, even with
all its modern additions Of what were
not long ago outlying and separate
communities.
