The Family Doctor Shop

! Nearly every person knows what
to do in case of injury or sickness,
but it often happens that under the
excitement attending such circum-
stances they become confused and
forget all they know about it. The
following suggestions might be past
ed up on the inside of the closet or
bookcase door, where they could be
referred to promptly:
For stomach cramps ginger ale or
a teaspoonful of the tincture of gin
ger i'll half-glass of water in which
half teaspoonful of soda has been
dissolved.
Swallowing saliva often relieves
sour stomach.
Hot, dry hannels applied as hot
as possible for neuralgia.
Whooping cough paroxysms are
relieved by breathing the fumes Of
turpentine or carbolic acid.
For cold in the head nothing is
better than powdered borax shifted
up the nostrils.
A strong solution of bicarbonate
of soda (baking soda), taken fire.
quently, is a reliable remedy for
diauheal troubles, particularly those
arising from acidity of the stomach.
A standing antidote for poison by
yew. poison oak, ivy, ETC., is to take
handful of quicklime, dissolve in
water, let it stand half an hour, then
paint the poisoned parts with it.
Three or four applications will never
fail to cure the most aggravated
cases.
Ii children do not thrive on fresh
milk 1t should be boiled.
Powdered resin is the best thing
to stop bleeding from cuts. After
the powder is sprinklsd on wrap
the wound with soft cotton cloth.
As soon as the wound begins to fee
feverish keep the cloth wet with cold
water,
For burns sweet oil and cotton
are the standard remedies. If they
are not at hand sprinkle the burned
part with -four asd wrap loosely
with a soft cloth. Don't remove the
dressing until the inflammation sub
sides, as it will break the new skin
that is forming.
For nose bleeding bathe the face
and neck with cold water.
If an artery is severed tie small
cord or handkerchief tightly above
it.
For bilious collie soda and ginger
in bot water 1t may be taken Free
ly.
Broken limbs should be placed in
natural position and the patient
kept quiet until the surgeon arrives.
Nervous spasms are usually reliev-
ed by a little salt taken into the
mouth and allowed to dissolve.

Care of the Little ones.

Parents are often impatient with
children because they dc not under
stand matters quickly or do not
comprehend some hint or sign given
at special moment. Il lady once
complained of her little girl who hap
pened to be especially stupid at the
wrong moment. An old gentleman
rebuked her, saying, IF you had
learned as much in every two years
of your life as she has you would
be wise woman by this time"
That remark set her to thinking,
and she never complained afterward
because her child was not able to
comprehend as she did. The child
vas probably as smart as its mother
was at that age, and nothing more
could be required. 1t was word
fitly spoken and it bore good fruit.
In one thing the writer differs from
many parents. that is. in attributing
the troublesome tricks of children
to natural deprayity. They learn
them from others for the mOss part,
and once acquired they are not
readily overcome. Pareats are gen
eraly the teachers, unconsciously
perhaps, but none the less are re-
sponsible for what follows. For in
stance, many children want light
in the room to sleep by, and per-
haps watcher TO sit by them until
they nave fallen asleep. Parents
sometimes complain that this is
such a care and trouble, but say:
my child won't go to sleep alone,
or in the dark" Whose fault is
that? Who taught the child that
a light could be kept burning while
it was going to sleep. or that some
body would sit by its bedside? An
infant would never imagine it un-
assisted. The first time it was done
taught the child that it was possible,
and who can blame it for desiring a
repetition of what was agreeable.
A child that was never rocked to
sleep knows nothing about that
troublesome process. Put your
child to bed and let it lie there in a
natural and quiet manner until 1t
falls asleep. A child's education in
obedience should begin ar an early
age, but in most gentle way; little
by little as events occur. Do not
crowd tie young mind by telling
it what it should not do. Simply
tell it what it should do. Do not
teach it evil by letting it know that
such thing exists. A babes mind
cannot comprehend two ideas at
once; give it the right idea, and say
nothing about the wrong one.

Household Hints and Helps.

A stale loaf of brown bread may
be utilized in most agreeable fash
lion. Crate enough Gift to make the
foundation for a bread budding.
Add to this a quarter of pound OF
suet chopped just as fine as possible
Then mix this with half a pound OF
thoroughly washed English currarts,
a quarter of pound Of sugar, four
eggs, little cream and brandy, or
sour cider. Beat the pudding un-
til it seems light. Then put it into
a buttered pudding dish, and after
tying cloth over it put it into a
kettle of boiling water and let it boil
for three hours and hall Halfof anne
dunn sized loaf is sufficient for the
pudding. 1t should be sent to the
table hot with sweet sauce. One
excellent use to put homemade
wines to is to use them for pudding
sauces. They may be delicious
sauces when not very successful as
wines.
The gravy made from roast lamb
is much improved in flavor if a few
thin slices of bacon are laid over and
under the roast.
Cucumber soup is very easily
made. All the ingredients required
are one quart of stock, the yolks OF
two eggs, a teacupful of cream, and
small lump of butter into sauce
pan, and after slicing a large cucum-
Der very thin and scattering salt
over it, put the slices into a saucepan
and brown them slightly, Then
pour the stock over them. Mix the
eggs with cream just before serving.
An agreeable dish for supper is
made by taking the remains of cold
boiled cod (fresh cod. OF coarse) pick
ing the fish very fine, and putting it
into an earthen pudding-dish in lay
ers, with few breadcrumbs, some
oyster, and butter, and pepper, and
salt to suit the taste. Moisten
with cream and bake for half an
hour in hot even. Serve hot, with
mashed potato.
A delicious dish for breakfast is
made by boiling some potatoes until
tender, but not soft remove them
from the water, dry them on hot
plate, then rub them through coarse
sieve. If they were boiled in salted
water, they will require no other
seasoning. Rub them through a
sieve held over the dish in which
they are to be served. as any ham
ding will make the particles fall,
and the effect will be spoiled.
An excellent dessert for dinner on
a warm day is made in this wav:
Cook about six ounces of rice in a
quart of milk until it is perfectly soft
Then add the yolks of six well-beas
eggs, half a pound of sugar, and any
fiavoring you please. Beat these
with the rice until they are well mix
ed, and then let the cGstard cool
When cold put into a freezer, and
proceed as for icecream. Serve with
fruit if possible. The whitest of
the eggs are not needed, and may be
used for cake.

Skirts and Drapery.

Skirts without fiounces, Hqrper'S
Bazar tells US, will be used for
heavy fabrics and for those of stifliy
twisted threads, such as Cheviots,
mohairs, etc. These skirts will
continue to be made over false
or foundation skirt of lighter
goods, such as alpaca or lining silk
and the outside material will be
placed smoothly upon these, with
the lower edge dropping on a mar
row pleating at the foot There is a
tendency 20 widen all dress skirts by
putting full breadths in the back,
and making straighter front and
side breadths, fashioning them much
broader a. the top than the closely
gored breadths formerly used. The
full effect, however, is more general
ly given by the drapery, which
must now be very high, or else very
low in front, and which must be
worn over a cushion hustle of hair
or pleatings or crinoline arranged to
support the back. Bias folds and
tucks will continue in favor in pref
erence to founces for wool skirts.
Three bias tapping folds, each four
inches wide when completed, make
a pretty border for the foot of the
skirt. and may be of the dress goods,
or of velvet, or satin, or other fabric
used in combination in other parts
of the dress. The braided borders,
panels, and pleated skirts are not
limited to wool dresses, but are seen
also on silks and satins, where the
richest passementeries and bands of
velvet take the place of braids.
Wide knit pleats from four to six
inches broad are separated by clus-
ter of two or three narrower pleats !;
these may extend all around the
skirt, but are more often confined to
the front and sides. Sometimes
pleats are reversed to meet on the
sides, and two rows of buttons are
placed down each side. The four
successive panels now used for COW
ering the front and side breadths
are neat and stylish for flannel,
Cheviot, or cloth dresses, and may
be bordered with rows of braid, or
with the interlinked rings of braid
that may be had in passementeries
that closely represents braidingI
done by hand; a border for the foot
of the skirt is now also made of very
large tapping rings of braid or Of
galloon, and a narrower border to
match trims the apron drapery.

TOGETHER.


The winter wind is wailing, sad and low,
Across the lake and through the rustlinl
sedge;
The splendor OF the'golden after-glow,
Cleans through the blackness of the great
yew hedge;
And this read on earth and in the sky
''We ought to be together you and l."
Rapt through its rosy changes into dark,
Fades all the west and through the shad
owy trees,
And in the silent uplands of the park,
Creeps the soft signing of the rising
breeze;
II does but echo to my weary sigh.
1--WE ought to be together, you and l."
Ny hand is lonely for your clasping, dear.
My ear is tired. waiting for your call;
/ want your strength to help your laugh Il
cheer,
Heart, soul and senses need you, one ant
all
droop without your full frank sympathy
We ought to be together, you and l.
We want each other so to comprehend
The dream, the hope, things planned, ol
seen, or wrought;
Companion, comforter, and guide and friend
As much as love asks love, does though
meet thought,
Lite is SO short, so fast the lone hours fly
We ought to be together, you and |.

fact, of any one taking me to

This is, indeed, strange" said
the disappointed man. Il looked
forward to meeting you with such
anticipations of warm greeting.
Well, well /; the world has, indeed

| The speaker was Frank Allerton
Bernard's dearest college chum, and
a young northern squire, whose sis
ter Amy-but this was a romantic
dream which had faded into an alb
surdity in the thick gloom of envi-
roning disaster. Why recall it?
The new conner had Joined the
train &C Cotchley Junction, and, like
Bernard, was bound for the metrop-
oils. AS the friends were alone in
the compartment. Bernard's story
was soon told.
And you are hunting the rascal
DOWN."
:" have attempted it, and he has
beaten me-"
"What sort of ia fellow is he-in
personal appearance, | mean?"
For the fourth or fifth time Ber-
nard ran glibly over the salientchar-
acteristics of that figure which fate,
rather than any conscious mental
effort, had photographed so minute
ly upon his memory.
" 1t is he exactly" cried Frank
Allerton, with an almost ludicrous
combination of amazement, disgust
and wrath mirrorized upon his
countenance. why, the fellow
has been living at Beckham, within
stones throw of our own manor
house for eight or ten months. Mr..
Joynson-"
Yes, that is the name he is
using"
He is reputed in the village to
be worth half million of money,
more or less. He is the resource OF
all the amateur mendicants in the
district, and figuring as well-to-do
bachelor, he has even dared to make
certain proposals for my sisters
hand. Amy refused his hand solely
en- the ground of disparity of years.
Not solely on that ground, Ber-
nard took leave to hope, despite of
his friends dogmatism. But he
had no word to answer at the mo-
ment. And there vas excuse for
his temporary bewilderment in the
presence of so strange and unlock
ed for a revelation. In the hour of
his darkest despair, the fair promise
of contingent victory had come.
I" What reckless and daring hyp-
ocrite the man must bew Frank
continued. IN admit | never
liked him from the first, but | had
no idea of such sword of Damocles
being suspended over his head.
Amy has had lucky escape, and
she will think so. :"
At last Bernard regained his
power of utterance.
"I'll go on to London, now," he
said, apply for a warrant, and ac-
quaint my father with the facts
and then, in company with a police
officer, seek out Mr.. Joynson at his
home"
The programme was fulfilled, and
success crowned the enterprise A
few weeks later commercial circles
were discussing everywhere a new
cause celebre, and the strange
change of events-as unfolded in
the speech of counsel for the prose-
cution-by which not only had
notorious swinller been immeshed
in the net of the law, but stolen
bonds had found their way back
into the Golfers of their rightful
owners.
But not the least happy result
to Bernard Hooker was that he learn
ed from Amy Allerton's own sweet
lips that at least one reason beyond
that of age had existed for her re-
fusal of Archer Glenning's suit.
She had already bestowed her heart
upon her brothers friend.
Her hand soon followed. And
now Bernard Hooker-a rising and
popular barrister-sometimes tells
mis- wife with smile that on a GER
tain memorable May day he chased
a fortune in two senses.
