IF baby is hoarse ut night take q small
piece of oil silk, rub little lard or amt
NAL oil of any kind over it and fasten it
next his skin over his chest. It may be
pinned with small safety pins to his
wrapper.
If compelled to use canned fruit that
is not put up at home, seek to render if
palatable thus: Open the can and drain
of all the liquor. Put the fruit in a
proper dish. To the liquor add sufi-
cient sugar to make it like si1up; let it
''come to boil" but do not let it boil:
then pour it over the fruit
LADIES who do not have much time for
fancy work need not lack for tides, when
euch elegant towels are to be purchased
at SO little expense. For the back Of a
sofa choose one with embroidered and
fringed ends. This towel should be long
enough SO that you can tie it in knot;
arrange this so that it will be smooth
on the top. The ends must be draped
gracefully.
A REALLY common sort of work basket
can be made very ornamental by lining
it with a crocheted lining. Make it Of
the cord used for tides andlambrequins.
leaving spaces for ribbons, in place of
silesia. Make pretty bow of satin
and gros-grain ribbon for the top of the
handle; fringe one end and cut one slant.
ing. Let the bow have quite long
loops and put it Oh the exact center Of
the handle.
VERY deep lambrequins are now made
Col NINo ~ -
round or oval table is covered with
crimson plush, and the valance or Jam
brequin made Of the macrame cord, or
seine Irvine is tackled to the table with
gilt headed lacks; satin ribbons of the
same shade as the cover are run in. The
favorite way to finish the bottom is to
make very deep scollops, and then tie
in the cord for deep feinge.
ALL bedsteads are healthier for being
as low as possible, thus insuring bet.
ter circulation of air above the sleeper's
face and doing away with the untidy pos
sbility of keeping boxes or carpet-bags
under the bedstead. There should be
no valance to any bedsteat. In the day
time an ample quilt thrown over the bed
will be quite drapery enough, and at
night it Is quite as we'll to have current
of air beneath the frams OF the bed.
A NICE breakfast for one who is not
equal to hearty fare is made of toast and
eggs prepared in this way: Put lump
of butter in saucepan, and then drop
three eggs into it, stir brlskly and con-
stant]y, SO that the eggs will be smooth
and not lumpy. Have two thin slices of
buttered toast ready, and when the eggs
are done lay them on one piece of the
toast and lay the other lightly over it;
do not crowd it down and make the egg
run over the edge of the toast.

No man can freeze himself into ca
tarrh. In cold weather the hospitals of
our Northern cities sometimes receive
patients with both feet and both hands
frozen, with frost bitten ears and FROST
sore eyes, but without trace of a ca.
tarrhal affection. Duck hunters NAV
wade all day in frozen swamp without
affecting the functions of their respir-
atory organs. Ice-cutters not rarely
come from an involuntary plunge. bath.
and are obliged to let their clothes dry
on their backs; it may result in bowel
complaint, but no catarrh. Prolonged
exposure to cold storm may in rare
cases induce q true pleural fever, very
troublesome affection, but as different
from s'cold' as headache lis from q
toothache-the upper air-passages re-
main unaffected. Sudden transition
from heat to cold does not change the
result. In winter the "pullers" of q
rolling-mill have often to pass ten times
an hour from the immediate neighbor-
hood Of q furnace to the chill draught
OF the open air; their skin becomes as
rough as an armadillo's, their hair be
comes grizzly or lead. colored; but no
catarrh. On my last visit to Mexico I
assembled the peak of Orizaba from the
south side and reached the crater
bathed in perspiration; and, following
the guide across to the northwest slope.
we we're for ten minutes exposed to an
ice-storm that sweptthe summit in blasts
OF fitful fury. Two of my companions,
boy Of Is and an old army surgeon,
were not used to mountain climbing and
could hardly walk when we got back to
our camp III the foothills, but our lunps
were none the worse for the adventure.
DIR. Franklin, who like Bacon and
Goethe, had the gift of anticipative in
buttons, seems to have suspected the
mistake of the cold-air fallacy. "Ishall.
not attempt to explain" says he, "why
damp clothes OCCASION colds rather than
wet ones, because I doubt the fact; I
believe that neither the one nor the
other contributes to this effect, and that
the cause of colds are totally independ-
ent of wet, and even of cold"

FARM, GARDEN AND HONE,
Some Advice.
Neat be your farms; Ills long confessed

Some Advice.
Neat be your farms; Ills long confessed
The neatest farmer IL the best:
Each bog and marsh industrious drain,
Nor let Vile balks deform the plain,
Nor bushes on your headland grow,
For briars sloven'1 culture show. @
Neat be your barns, your horses sweet;
Your paths be clean; your door-yards neat;
No moss the shelteTing roof enshroud,
Nor wooden panes the windows cloud;
No sink-drains should above ground Tow;
No weeds with ranking poison grow;
But flowers expand and fruit trees bloom,
And fragrant shrubs exhale perfume.
Neatly enclose your garden round;
Smooth, enrich and clear the ground:
For II to taste and profit you incline,
Beauty and use you always should combine.
