When the escape Of milk is prevent.
ed by an obstruction in the teat the Oh.
ening should be freed by the use Of a
tube, known as a milking tube. which ia

Good water lime or cement will make
as good a floor for your milk cellar as
any one could desire, and it will have
no effect upon the milk, as we know
from long experience. Puta good thick
| ness OF broken stone underneath, in or
der to have a solid foundation upon
which to lay the cement, and you will
have smooth and hard floor that will
last lifetime or longer.
An excellent coop for young chickens
is made as follows: Make frame or
box of boards, 2 feet by 8, close on three
sides, and lathed up and down on one
side; put on q sloping roof hinged at the
front over the laths, which should be
six inches higher than the hind part.
Hang glazed sash in the front 6 inches
from the ground to leave room for the
chicks to 60 in and out, and to prevent
beating in of rain or cold winds, and fit
piece of board inches wide below
this to close up the coop at night and for
a feeding board by day. This coop can
be moved from place to place to furnish
clean ground for the floor; the best floor
is the ground. III.

salt and water. Mild sage tea is also ex-
cellent. If these remedies do not effect

that it will absorb; wet the head with
this two or three times day.

DR.. Robert H. Blackwell condemns the
common practice of keeping lights in
the bedrooms Of children. He says it
has an injurious effect upon their ner-
vous system. Irstead of the perfect
rest the optic nerves ought to have, and
which nature provides for by the dark
ness of the night, these nerves are per.
petuallv stimulated, and, of course. the
brain and the rest of the nervous sys-
tenn suffer. Children thus brought up
are exceedingly timid for years after on
going into the dark.
If the arnica with which bruised limbs
are bathed is heated, its good effects are
perceptible much earlier than if it is APP
piled while cold. Ifarnica is to be TAX
en- as remedy, as so many physicians
recommend, in cases of severe spralns,
it should be prepared with water in this
proportions: teaspoonful' of arnica in
goblet two.thirds full of water; and of
this q teaspoonlul is to be taken once an
hour or once in two hours, as the severi-
ty of the case determines. ~
Cooking forms part of the regular edu.
cation of young ladies in Vienna, but
they do not earn the art at cooking
clubs, or at public lectures, as in Eng
land and this country, and they are
rarely taught in their own Kitchens. It
is the custom to 60 to some great
houee-that of a princess, or some very
rich banker, where there are famous
chefs, who give lessons in cookery.
When chef engages to cook for no.
blenan he usually stipulates that he is
to have the pri ilege Of teaching GER
tain number of young ladies'. These
young ladies need not even know the
mistress OF the house, and they make
their arrangements with the cook only,
