Naming n Lake.

Years ago, it was discovered that a
certain lake which had long been con-
sidered the head Of the Mississippi, had
40 claim to that honor. The explorers
found a new and smaller lake from
which the great river took it's rise. A
discussion arose as to what name would
be appropriate for it. The story is
that it was decided in this way:
"Let's make a new name by coming
a word," said an old voyager. Some
of you larned ones tell me what is the
Latin for true"
"Veritas," answered a scholar.
"Well, now, what is Latin for
head?"
"Caput."
"Now write the two words together
by syllables."
The scholar wrote on strip of
birch-bark, "veritas caput."
"Read it."
The five syllables were read.
Now drop the first and last sylIa-
blcs and you'll have a good name for
Wis lake" And '1tasca" it was.

Mr.. THOMAS A. HowARD, OF Honey Grove,
Fannin County, Texas, under date OF April 8,
1888, writes as follows:
81 have been suffering during several years
from severe illness, and general breaking
down Of my physical s. stem, and have tried
the treatment and prescriptions OF many
doctors far and near, and travelled TO The hot
Springs and other mineral springs famous
for their remedial qualities, drinking the
waters and bathing Systematically III their
healing depths, but all TO no avail, as lsteadlly
failed in heath; and although informed by
my physicians that my ailments and weak
hesses were ths result of kidney disease of
dangerous character, they could give me
nothing TO cure me. During the past two
years my sufferings at times were dreadful,
and had the most indescribable pains IN the
regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms OF
which we're so severe as TO render it ImIossl-
bic for me to sleep. While in this deplo-ab
and discouraged condition | was persuaded
10 try Hunts Remedy, and after using less
than half bottle my great suheTlngs and
paroxysms of pain were entirely relieved, and
] could sleep better and longer than l had IN
two years before, and although l am now on
my third bottle only my improvement is very
remarkable, and regret that did not know
of the wonderful curative powers of Hunts
Remedy before, as it would have saved me
years of suffering. / heartily recommend 1T
to ali afflicted with any kidney dlselse or
disease of the urinary organs"

Tarring a Rat.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar more, perhaps,
than anything else. for if it once gets
on their jackets, they find it most diff
cult to remove it. Now, l had heard
it mentioned that pouring tar down at
the entrance Of their holes was a good
remedy, also placing broken pieces of
glass by their holes was another
remedy. But these remedies are not
effective The rats may leave their
old holes and make fresh ones in other
parts of the house; they don't, how
ever, leave the premises for good. !
l thought would try another expert
ment-one l had not heard of before.
One evening | set a large wire-cage
rat-trap, attaching inside most
seductive piece of strongly smelling
cheese, and next morning l found, to
my satisfaction, that l had succeeded
in trapping a very large rat, one of the
largest | had ever seen, which, after ]
had besmeared him with tar, | let loose
into his faYorite run. The next night
l tried again, and succeeded in trap
ping another equally big fellow, and
served him in the same manner. ]
could not follow these two Jar-besmear-
ed rats into their numerous runs, to
see what would happen but it is rea-
sonable to assume that they either
summoned together all the members of
their community, and by their crest
fallen appearance gave their comrades
silent indications of the misfortune
which had SO suddenly befallen them !;
or that they frightened their brethren
away, for they one and all forsoOk the
place and fled. The experiment was
eminently successful. From that day
in 1876 till now, 1883, my house,
ancient though it is, has been entirely
free from rats; and / believe that
there is no remedy equal to this
one, if you can catch your rat alive.
They never come back to the house
again. n.-ChGnberS Journal.

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 drachms of COM
pound tincture Of cardamons. This
will be found of service to the coun-
try physician who is obliged to dis
pense his own medicine.
A NATIONAL LACK.-Dr. Selden
ii. Talcott, superintendent of the New
York state homeopathic asylum for
the insane, says that our national lack
is t. 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 cf the brain
stimulating it to undue activity, and
playing the part of whip and spur
to a tired horse-and the opposite on
hyper@mia. excessive cerebral an@mla.
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 y
The food should be of the coarsest
and plainest, else the remedy might
produce an aggravation. Should eX'
cessive anemia 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-
vLtary 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 well elevated from the
floor, for thus complete circulation
around the bed is secured.

Sunlit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
in a room that will not stand sunlight
for every room in a dwelling should
have the windows SO arranged that
sometime during the day a flood of
sunlight will force itself into the apart
ment. The Importance of admitting
the light freely to all parts of our
dwelling cannot be too highly estimat-
ed. Indeed, perfect health is nearly as
dependent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be
uncomfortable to the eyes, and walks
should be in bright sunlight, so that
the eyes are protected by veil or para
sol when inconveniently intense. A
sun-bath is of more Importance in pre-
serving a healthful condition of the
body than is generally understood. 1t
costs nothing, and that is misfortune,
for people are deluded with the idea
that those things can only be good and
useful which cost money. But remem-
Der that pure water, fresh air and SUM-
lit homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
of the doctors, and give you health and
vigor, which no money could procure.
1t is an established fact that people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them of
sunlight. And certainly there is moth
ing strange in the result, since the
same law applies with equal force to
nearly every animate thing in nature.
1t is quite easy to arrange an isolated
dwelling SO that every room in it may
be flooded with sunlight some time in
the day, and it is possible that many
town houses could be so built as to ad-
nit more light than they now receive.

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
nrOVided
