A Suggestion for Cleanliness.

There is a suggestion which will go
far toward the solution of the vexing
problem of how to dispose Of household
waste, says the Sanitary News. The
practice of throwing it on gardens, al
leys, and streetsE to decompose and be-
come fostering blotch on the face of
the earth cannot be safely INDUCED in.
The other alternative of collecting it
periodically by garbage wagons is not
the cleanest. neatest system OF disposal.
Undoubtedly the heaIthiest way to dis
pose off is by fire. 1t is not possible by
ordinances of law to compel people to
burn kitchen refuse. But if landlords
will incorporate a provision in their
leases, that the tenants must dispose of
all kitchen waste by fire. it will greatly
simplify the question. Of course there
will be many, even with lease reour-
ing it, who viii not do it, but a sufficient
number will to make fashionable; once
fashionable, the custom will spread of
its own momentum. There are refuse
cans so made as to fit over q stove hole,
which permit no odor to escape during
the process of drying. When dried, the
refuse can, by turning handle, be
dumped into the fire and is immediately
consumed,

Chean and Efficient Filter.

Very many families desire some mex
pensive device for filtering rain and
other waters TO be used for cooking and
table use. cheap and very efficient
filter may be made by using spirit or
wine cask, placing it on end with the
head removed, and having a faucet at
the bottom to draw off the clear water.
To fit it for filter, take the removed
top head of the cask, and with a small
bit bore holes all over it, then place four
clean bricks or blocks of wood ON the
bottom, and on these rest the perfora-
ted top. Now fill upon it about four inch
es of charcoal chopped into small bits
the size of peas, and over this put lay
er of sand six inches deep. Impure
water poured into the casll on top of the
sand will become clear and sparkling
after little while, or as soon as all fine
particles are worked out OF the charcoal
and sand. This filter will not need re-
newing oftener than once in two or
three months.-Popular Sclen ce

vessels and many particles of deleterous mat

ment often in tie luu s and other great cen
tiers ofFitality. Hence dyspepsia favors the
occurrence of consumption in persons at ali
predisposed to it. II is also the primary
source of scrofula and other diseases OF the
blood and skin.
The person who has a pig-pen appetite
one dav and can eat little or nothing the
next has dyspepsia. The person who feels
heavine at the stomach after eating, aeco ~
panied with gulping-up OF wind and soar
particles, of food, has dyspepsia. Besides
these symptoms are bad taste in mouth, pain
I'm chest, shortness Of breath, palpitation,
headache, giddiness, GOODNESS of extreni-

In prescribing Burdock Blood Bitters as

Salt for Dyspepsia.

Half teaspeonful OF common table,
salt dissolved in little cold water and
drank will Instantly relieve heartburn
or dyspepsia. If taken every morning
before breakfast, increasing the quanti-
ty gradually to teaspoonful to a glass of
water, it will in few days cure any or
binary case of dyspepsia, if at the same
time due attention is paid TO the diet.
There is no better remedy than the
above for constipation; no better gargle
for sore throat. 1t is equal to chlorate
of potash, and is entirely safe. 1t NAV be
used as often as desired, and if little is
swallowed each time it will have bene-
fetal effect on the throat by cleansing it
and allaying the irritation. In doses of
one to four teaspooniuls in half a pint to
a pint of tepid water it acts promptly as
an emetic, and in cases Of poisoning is
ALWAYS at hand. 1t is an excellent rem
edv for bites and stings of insects. 1t is
a valuable astringent for hemorrhages,
particularly for bleeding after the ex-
traction o: u tooth. 1t has both cleansing
and healing properties, and is therefore
a most excellent application for super

HOW to Tell Good Butter.

Mr.. Robert Hall, an Ohio butter in
spector, says that where butter is prop
erly churned, both as to time and tenn
perature, il becomes firm with very lit
tie working, and it is tenacious; but Its
most desirable state is waxy, when it is
easily moulded into any shape, and may
be drawn cut considerable length with
out breaking. II is then styled gilt-edge.
1t is only in this state that butter pos
sesses that rich nu:ty taste and smell
and shows up rich golden yellow color
which imparts so high a degree of pleas
ure in eating it, and which increases its
value many fold. 1t is not always neces-
sary, when it smells sweet. to taste but
ter when judging it. The smooth un-
ctuous feel in rubbing little between
the finger and thnmb expresses at once
its rich quality; the nutty smell and
rich aroma indicate similar taste; and
the bright golden, glistening. cream-col-
ored surface shows its height of cleanli.
ness. 1t may be necessary at times to
use fryer, or use it until you become
an expert in testing by taste, smell and
rubbing.-U. S. Dairyman.
