Hnt 1rater ns a .Remcdy.

There is no remedy of such gen.
eral application and none so easily
attainable as water, and yet nine
persons in ten will pass by it in an
emergency to seek for something of
far less efficacy.
There are but few cases of illness
where water should not occupy
the highest place as remedial
agent.
A strip of flannel or napkin fold
cd lengthwise and dipped in hot
water and wrung out, and then ap-'
piled around the neck of a child
that has the Group, will usually
bring relief in ten minutes.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water quickly wrung
and applied over the seat of the
pain in tooth-ache or neuralgia
will generally afford prompt re-
lief. This treatment in collie works
like magic. 1 have seen cases that
resisted other treatment for hours
yield to this in ten minutes. There
is nothing that will so promptly
cut short congestion of the lungs,
sore throat or rheumatism as hot
water when applied promptly and
thoroughly.
Pieces of cotton batting dipped
in hot water and kept applied to
old sores or new cuts, bruises or
sprains, is the treatment now gen.
orally adopted in hospitals. l
have seen a sprained ankle cured
in an hour by showering it with
hot water, poured from height OF
three feet.
Tepid water acts promptly as an
emetic, and hot water taken freely
half an hour before bedtime is the
best of cathartics in the case OF
constipation, while it is most sooth-
ing on the stomach and bowels.
This treatment continued for a
few months, with proper attention
to diet, will cure any durable case
of dyspepsia.-HalPs Journal OF
Health.

The Upas Tree.

Java is the home of the upas
tree; and, as it is only recently
that the true scientific explanations
haxe been given of them, probably
one theory may be interesting.
Wonderful stories were told about
the valley where they grow. No
living creature was able to live an
instant exposed to It's effects, and
even birds in flying over would
fall dead, so that the whole valleys
were covered with their skeletons.
When scientific men first began to
inquire into it they could only
with the greatest difficulty induce
the natives to accompany them to
the spots, with such dread and
superstition were they held. A
peculiar feature in in the earth
quakes in this part of the world
soon solved the problem and ex-
.ploded the theory as to the trees
themselves. 1t was found, at
times, the sulphurous vapors were
SO dense and poisonous as to be de
structive to animal life, and at
such times had so affected the ma
tives that they had retained the
memory of such places and avoid
ed them ever afterward. No evil
effects were experienced by those
who trayersed the valleys. though
there was unmistakabla evidence
that at periodical intervals they
were deserving to be avoided

Our Friends. INC FARMERS.

IoIren Star. i.i''a
Nearly every class of business
men from day laborers to million.
aire capitalists, have their organ
ization. Nothing was said ofthese
societies until the farmers organ
lied ono of their own, called the
grange. Then every little whelp
throughout the land began to yelp,
abuse and ridicule the farmers.
To be a granger was SO be subject
cd to all manner of abuse and con-
tempt.7 The enemies of the grange
shouted, dit is a political instito-
ton" and it was useless for the
farmers to deny and point to the
constitution and bylaws of the
grange. 1t seemed to be consider
cd high crime for the farmers to
organize for any. purpose. The
cattlemen also have their associa-
ton which met at the same time
and place of the state legislature,
when important laws were to be
passed affecting the cattle inter-
ests. Speeches were made upon
this subject, and prominent cattle
men discussed the proposed meas
ures upon the streets of the capital
Afterward, the cattlemen met at
Sweetwater and passed resolutions
condemning the laws enacted by
the legislature, and threatened to
disrupt the State if their supposed
rights were ignored. Now, sup
pose the State grange were to do
such a thing as this. One univer.
sal howl would go up from one end
Of the State TO the other. 1t would
be taken as conclusive evidence

Capt. John Traynor, of Bath

a small dory from that city to New

days, the distance being 200 miles.

She wore asilk dress, which chang

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is lady for who up
wards of thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents as female physician and
nurse, principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as result of this
effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a
lifetime spent as r nurse and physician, she
has compounded Soothing Syrup for chill
dren teething. 1t operates like magic-giv-
ing rest and health, and is moreover, sure to
regulate the bowels. In consequence of this
article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-rc-
nowned as a beefactor of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her especially
is this the case in this city. Vast quantities
of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and
used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has inns
mortalized her name by this valuable article,
and we sincerely believe thousands of chill
dren have been saved from an early grave
by its timely use, and that millions yet UNI
born will share its benefits, and unite in cal
ling her blessed. No Mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she is given it the benefit of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it,
mothers-try it now.-Ladies' Visitor, New
York City. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents

Well Oultivated land.

We once experimental by haul.
ing twenty-four large loads of the
best manure upon two acres OF
clay loan land, had it well cult
waited into the soil, which had been
well worked IN the ordinary way
but was somewhat lumpy. This
and the adjoining two acres was to
be sown TO corn for fodder. Upon
the other two acres no manure was
put but it was plowed and cultivat-
cd until the soil, four inches deep.
was as fine as a garden bed. One
and half bushels of corn was
drilled per acre on each piece,
drills 16 inches apart. When this
corn was in blossom and ready to
cut it stood Is inches higher than
the manured piece. On selecting
two samples in different places
upon each piece, cutting the green
corn carefully weighing it, the
manured peice gave 275 pounds per
rod, and the unmanured, but finely
pul7erised, gave $50 pounds per
rod-thes manured giving % tons
per acre, and the other 2S tons per
acre. The cost of extra working
was 50 rs per acre. Could there
be any doubt that the extra work
was well paid for?
It must be evident to every
thoughtful farmer, that the first
thing to be-donein furnishing food
for crops is to work more thoS-
oughly and give finer pulveriza-
ton, and when this is accomplished

Preserving Boouets,

A very simple and effective
method of preserving boquets is as
follows: Sprinkle it with fresh

in a vessel containing soap:suds,
remove the flowers every morning
and place them in pure, fresh
water for a few minutes. After
sprinkling them lightly with the
fresh water, return them to the

day by day, will cause the boquet
to preserve its bloom and fresh
ness, and to some extent its fra

DR.. Reinsch, a German chemist,
has found, as tho result of long
series of minute investigations,
that the surfaces of fifty-pfennig
pieces which have been long in
circulation in Germany are the
homo and feeding ground of a
minute kind of bacteria and vege-
table fungus. An extended series
of observations showed that this is
casewith ethe small coins of all
nations, the thin incrustation of
organic matter deposited upon
their surfaces in the course of long
circulation rendering them very
suitable for this parasitical settle-
ment. DR.. Relnsch scraped off
some of these incrustations, and,
with small scalpel, divided them
into fragments, which were subse-
quently dissolved in distilled
water. The employment of lenses
of very high power showed the
bacteria and fungi distinctly. This
is matter of no little Importance,
from hygienic point of view. 1t
has now been conclusrvely estab-
lished that bacteria form the chief
agency in the propagation of cpl
demic. disease. The revelation
that they have a chosen domicile
in the most widely circulating me-
dunn which probably exists in the
world, presents us with new fac
tor in the spread of infectious dis
ease. There is, however, a rene
