H HOME DOCTOR.
Drinking at Meals.

BY way of explaining ever-increasing
frequency of dyspepsia our tea party phi
losophers have had cours to the
strangest theories. The danger Of water
drinking at meals, for instance, has been
absurdly exaggerated. Slipping hot and
cold drinks by turns has certainly a ru-
inous effect on the enamel of our teeth;
but if we would refrain from boiling
our food smoking hot, a glass of fresh
water between the first and second
courses would promote instead of i'm
peding digestion. The stomach very
soon assimilates the temperature of the
various ingesta, and is far less troubled
by cold spring water, or cold milk, than
by pepper sauces, or soups hot enough to
appal a famished wolf. Instinct is q
pretty safe guide in such matters. II
protests distinctly against the deglutition
of scalding hot viands, and as distinctly
recommends a draught of water during
meals, especially of sweet oil Or sailed
dishes .-Rural Home.

A lawyers Queer Effects"

A celebrated LAWYER had different ssef-
fects" for every kind of case he was en-
gagged in. Thus in a trial for breach of
promise. where he was counsel for the
plaintiff, he used to wear a very elegant
pair of lavender kid gloves, sewed with
black, typifying, I used to think, that
although the deceived ones sorrow was
~undoubted, still it was subdued and
ready to be consoled or conforted. either
by damages or by substitution of another
and more faithful swain for the miscrc-
ant who had blighted her youthful af-
fections.
When proposing damages, he had a
habit of taking off his right hand glove
and displaying a handsome diamond
ring he wore and twirling it around his
finger, alternately placing the plain side
In front to look like a wedding ring, or
flashing the diamond into the eyes Of the
foreman of the jury until it made them
blink again. In divorce cases or murders
black gloves were adopted, and in mer-
camille cases blue spectacles. Envy
whispered that he was not good at fig
ures, and hated investigating them; so a
timely attack of ophthalmia made it nee
essary for his junior to PROFOUND them
to the jury. He was certainly very great
with the gentlemen of the jury.-BrooE-
Ign Eagle.

IN Growing Toe Nails.

The most painful of the diseases OF
the nails, is caused by the improper
manner of cutting the nail (generally
of the great toe,) and then wearing a
narrow, badly made shoe. The nail be-
ginning to grow too long, and rather
wide at the corners, is trimmed around
the corner, which gives temporary relief.
But it then begins to grow wider in the
side where it was cut off; and as the
shoe presses the flesh against the corner,
the nail cuts more and more into the
raw flesh, which becomes excessively
tender and irritable. If this state con-
tinues long the toe becomes more and
more painful and liberated, the fungus
lproud fesh) sprouts up from the sorest
points. Walking greatly increases the
suffering, till positive rest becomes indis-
pensable. Treatment: We omit all modes
of cutting out the nail by the root, and all
other cutting or torturing operations.
Begin the effort at cure by simple appli-
cation to the tender part of a small GUAM
tity of perchloride of iron. 1t is found
in drug stores in a fluid form, though
sometimes in powder. There is imme-
diately a moderate sensation of pain,
construction or burning. In a few min
utes the tender surface is felt to be dried
up, tanned or mummi6ed, and it ceases
to be painful. BY permitting the hard
ened, wood-like flesh to remain for two
or three weeks, it can be easily removed
by soaking the foot in hot water. A
new and healthy structure is found firm
and solid below. If thereafter,,the nails be
no more cut around the corners or sides,
but always curve in across the front end,
they will in future grow only forwards;
and by wearing a shoe Of reasonable
good size and shape, all further trouble
will be avoided Bostwick's Journal.

Invalids' Food

AS to cooking for invalids the great
, desideratum is to give nutriment in such
form as the invalid car most readily as.
simulate it. We have to consult the sick
persons tastes largely in this, though
the taste alone is not a safe guide. A
dyspeptic, for example, is constantly
craving things that cannot be taken with
impunitv. A good many physicians and
laymen declare that there is no nutri.
ment in beef tea. but I have kept patients
alive for weeks on it. I prefer a broth
or a soup to the extract Of beef gener-
ally, for, as a rule, it appeals to the
taste better. A bouilion, or a cup of
beef tea is apt to repel the patient by
its appearance. while a good consomme
soup attracts the eye. You want plenty
. of meat and bone, we'll boiled down, to
make your soup; but in case you have
to use beef tea, it is best to make it your
self. Take plenty of lean meet, cut into
small pieces, and put it into q jar, o. a
champaign bottle with a little water. A
Jar is best if you have one. Cover it,
but don't seal it. If you seal it you
won't have anything left, for it will
blow up. Make a slit in the cork to let
the steam out. Place it in a kettle. or
pot Of water, and boil it FIVE or six
hours. When YOU take it out your beef
tea is in the bottle with the stringy re.
mains Of the meat. These fragments are
tasteless and useless.
Milk is another valuable food,
though it is sometimes necessary to
dilute it at first with water, in order to
get the patient to take it. The only OBJ
lection I know to pure milk is that it is
constipating to some people, but by
proper care there ought to be no trouble in
giving milk to almost anyone. The
great thing about feedingi is to take such
food as is suitable to a PERSONS habits.
The housekeener should know the
habits, especially of The invalids under
her care, and adapt their food to circum-
stances. Certain foods are commonly
supposed to be laxative, which are not
properly so. Oatmeal, for example, is
thought to be 80, whereas it is chiefly
irritating. and while it is very rich in
nutriment is not always n good food, be-
cause it is irritating. Figs are also
called laxative, but it is only because of
the seeds that ~irritate the intestines. Ar
row root, on the other hand, is a true
laxative.
The true rule for the housekeeper to
follow is to learn the true properties of
the different kinds of food that she uses
and then adapt the supplies to the neces-
stiles of the Individuality. 4. B.

WHIP

A baby came into the world one day,
And the parents smiled in PRIDE:
As swift to the messages flashed away,
Came greetings from far and wide.
A baby went out of the world one night,
And the mother moaned aloud,
For the stainless soul that had gained the
light,
For the form in the pearlwhite shroud.
Oh? the mystery here, the problem deep
Philosophers pause awhile!
Why do we laugh when we ought to weep
And weep when we ought to smile?
Nellie F. O'Neill, in Boston Courier.

eknow a small boy, a very small boy,
Who's as busy as he can be,
Would you like to see him! Well, look this
way,
That very small boy is me.
They tell me a man is g boy grown up,
And the man who is good and great,
Is the one who began when q very small boy
To grow exceedingly straight.
I want to be good and great when a man,
And I think l nave started fair,
For I've faithfully promised never to drink,
So. my friends, this by, this very small boy,
Who's as busy as be can be,
Wants help from his friends; will you look
this way? ,
That very small boy is me.
