Is A WoMAN's BITE PoIsoNoUs?-
In party in St. Joseph, Mo, were a
young man "noted for his brilliant
conN orsational powers" and a beau
full girl "from one of the upper coun-
ties" and in the course Of a struggle
for the possession Of a trinket ''the
girl sank her ivory teeth into the
tleshy part of the young mans arm"
He politely concealed his pain till he
returned home, when, on removing
his garments, blood was found trick
ling from the wound Next morning
the lacerated arm was swollen to
twice its natural size, and he was laid
up for several days. The St. Joseph
paper, in relating the incident, refers
to another, and worse one Of a
similar nature, that occurred at Cape
Cirardeau a few years ago, in which
a young gentleman actually died
from playful bite on his thumb by
4 young lady. Tho paper remarks.

The Cause and Treatment of Painting.

Painting, in most of its forms. is n purely ma
tural and physiological condition for which
there is n good rdisOR fetre. Painting from loss
of blood is natures remedy for the bleeding
The hearts action is lowered; the blood with
drawn from the extremities (where presumably
the bleeding is going on) into the larger cen
trail vessels; the patient lies motionless; there
are no struggles to force the blood ont of the
wound; there is no pain felt. In a case of faint
ing, therefore, from loss of blood, simply lay the
patient on the back-a little turned 10 one side
with the head low and tie wound in position
favorable to the doctors manipulation; loosen
all fastenings and buttons about the throat, and
then await the doctors arrival. Dont try TO
bring the patient around by delugins him with
water. Above all give no brandy unless by the
doctors orders. Brandy will end the fantneSs
quickly enough, but it will start the heart at
double quick time, aud send the blood surging
through the peripheral arteries, breaking and
washing away any protective plugs of eliot with
which the Wis medicatrix has probably began
to close the wounded vessels.
In eases of fainting from shock or from pain,
the patient should ne placed in an easily reeum-
bent position, with the head low and the throat
free from pressure. The forehead may then he
bathed with cold water, and brandy cautiously
administered, ammonia applied to the nos

Sick Childrap

1t is better to take your child to the doctor un-
necessarily than to postpone this duty and find
that it is too late. few hours. in the diseases
of children may make all the difference between
hopeful and hopeless eases.
When you take counsel of doctor, give him
your explicit confidence. DO not permit friend
even though the friend be an ex perienced old
mother and nQrse-to disturb confidence in the
doctor. FolloS no advice that is against what
he has said. If you lose confidence in him. get
another physician.
When a child is old enough to know what Won
mean, never threaten il with the doctor. Ii NAV
be important some day that your child shonld
not be frightened at the doctor, but regard him
as friend and helper.
A sick child dmands nursing mother, who
has tact, patience, firinness, added to her affec
ton. With these SO much can be done. without
them the battle may he hopeless from the first
Ii isasserted that every year 900 children die in
New York who need not die if proper were
taken of them. High heated terms have much
to d. with deaths. Every hour that n child is
exposed to a temperature above - OF s. degrees
in n crowded neighberhood, it is robbed of vital
ity. High heat acts injnriOusly on its blood,
nerve and muscle cells, and also on the digestive
system of the child, and milk of the nurse.
High heat does more-it decOmposes all organic
refuse and dirt in houses and about them, and
posons air, water, food, clothing bedding
carpets, etc. Hence the need of excursions for
children and of cleanliness at home.
DO not lift or drag child by its arms. You
strain ligaments which not intended to
bear the weight of the body. A grown person
swinging fIOm bar with his hands relieves the
ligaments by the use of muscles.

How to Treat Greenhouse Plants and Vege-
tables if Frozen

Not unfrequently during this cold season the
most careful people lilhlc TO have their
plants or vegetables touched by the frost on
some sharp, cold night. But a little cOnsidera-
tion of the manner in which the frost affects
them may result in the best means of remedy
ing the evil. The following very sensible re-
marks on the subject worthy of perusal:
IL Is not the freezing that does the injury
This really renders the thing frozen warmer by
developing the latent heat of its watery parts
The thawing of the frozen water is what we
have to guard against. In all thawinc the solid
substance, as ice, takes up from surrounding
bodies, or from the air, the beat necessary to
render il liquid, and as soon as the process is
commenced, by the suns rays or otherwise il
is continued by obtaining part or whole of the
required heat from neighboring bodies; this loss
of that heat causes the bad effect. Ii we freeze
the ear. no harm is necessarily done. If we 20
near lire. or in any other way produce a rapid
thawing, we are liable to lose the whole or part
of the organ, because the heat of the flesh is rap
idly distracted. If, on the contrary, we apply
snow TO 1t, we render the process gradual
that the flesh is not injured by the loss of heat.
Many other instances of 4 similar character
might be given were it necessary. The same
rule also holds good in the ease of plants
When their leaves or fruit are frozen, all that is
necessary is to apply snow, cold water, etc, or
in SOME other way to prevent the rapid thaw-
ing of the ice. BY attention to this point
many valuable plants may be saved from the
ravages of frost. In cold climates delicate
trees or vines may he planted on the northwest
slopes of hills; tempering of the heat of the
morning sun will prevent them from being in
iured by the rapid extraction of their frost.

Best Situations for Orchards.

1t is well known that fruit orchards situated
in valleys in low, sheltered places are not so
healthy and prolific those in more elevated
and exposed positions, aud therefore il is argned
that all kinds of shelter and protection in
jurions to fruit bearing trees. There cannot
probably be found worse site for an orchard
than in contracted, sheltered valley; in such
position the trees are subjected to extremes of
temperature, rs the cold will he severest at the
lowest point; difference of ten to twenty-five
degrees has been observed between a valley aud
a point on the side hill fifty feet above it, du-
ring a frosty night. Such positions should
not he chosen for frnit trees but it does not fol-
low that the most exposed positions on hll-tops
the best. So far rs topography is concerned,
the northern exposure is better than the shell
tered valley, but proper site should be chosen.
Il is equally well known that local shelter fToTa
drying, cold winds is of the greatest service. 1t
is therefore wise to select elevated site, rath
than one in the valley, but the trees will he
more productive if sheltered from northeast To
northwest by belts of timber. which will modi-
fly the rigorous blasts of winter and early spring.

Typhoid Fever.

Typhoid Fever.
The following circular on the subject oftyphoid
fever has been issued by the Massachusetts, Board
of Health:
This is issued for the purpose of indueng great
er care in preventing the spread oftyphoid fever,
which, according to the most reliable authority,
may be contracted by contagion or infection. IL
is also supposed to be induced by the emanations
from decayed animal and vegetable substances,
foul drains and other sources of filth. The dis
charges from the bowels of the typhoid patients
are supposed to be the source of the greatest
danger, and may infect the atmosphere of the
sick chamber, the drain, eesspool, yault, or by
filtration may infect the well, cistern or other
saurces of drinking water. and produce the dis
ease in other persons. The disease is likely to
attack persons between the ages of and 40
years, and prevails more in the autumn than in
any other season of the year.
When a of typhoid fever occurs in any
family, the sick person should be placed in n
room apart from the other inmates of the house,
and should be nursed as far as possible, by one
person only. The sick chamber should be we'll
ventilated, warmed, and exposed to sunlight;
its furniture should be such as will permit Of
cleaning without injury. and all extra articles,
such as window drapery, carpets, and all hang
ings should be removed from the room during
the sickness. The physician and nurse should
be the only persons admitted to the room. All
vessels nsed for receiving the discharges of the
patient should contain some disinfecting fiaid.

Water-closets, cesspools and vaults ought TO be
disinfected daily with solution of copperas.
Every kind and source of filth in and around

freely used. Drains should be kept in order, and

Saving Seed Corn.

We have before called attention of farmers TO
the seed corn, but as the corn has ripened so
slowly and the cold weather is at hand, we
is placed where neither mice nor frost can bite
it.
When the corn is yet full of moisture slight
freeze sometimes weakens the growth of the
germ. and the coming crop is greatly injured.
1t will pay to carry the seed corn at once to the
smoke honse, and hang it up or spread it out
there and smoke it until it is perfectly dry, in
moderate heat.
The creosote deposited on the kernels will do
good rather than harm. 1t will stimulate
growth, and is offensive to ants and cut-worms.
Some claim that it will prevent the depreciation
of mcles and crows. 1t may not snit the taste of
CLOVIS but as moes injure the crop by burrow
ing under the hills of young plants, and destroy
ing the fine roots by cutting of the supply of
moisture, we cannot hope so easily to check the
havoc of moles.
There is no quicker and cheaper method that
all can adopt, than to carry at once to the smoke
house and cure it.
If one has dry cellar: it will do to store it
there, if there is no adherence of the mice and
rats attracted there by it. We find that seed
corn kept overhead in the basement of n good
bank barn does well. The marmth of the ami
mails keeps the temperature above the point Of
danger.
Look ont about the middle of next May for
