SALT AND MUSTARD ANTIDorE -
liza person swallows any poison
whatever, or has fallen into convul-
sions from having overloaded the
stomach, an instantaneous and very
effective remedy is a heaDing tea
spoonful of common salt and
ground mustard, stirred rapidly in
a teacupful of water. 1t ia scarcely
down before it begins to come up,
bringing with it the remaining con
tents of the stomach; aud lest there
be any remnant Of poison, however
small, let The white Of an egg, and
sweet oil or butter or lard-several
teaspoonfuls-be swallowed imme-
diately after vomiting, because
these very common articles nullify
a larger number of virulent poisons
than any medicines in the shops

To MAKE SODA WArER.-A
reader" requested a receipt for
soda water. Here is one / know to
be good. Refined or loaf sugar, 4
lbs; soft water, l ct; dissolve by
heat, just bringing to a boil. Dis
solve acid into it at the rate OF l OF
to each pint of syrup. Put into
bottles, add sufficient amount of
fluid extract of such fruit or berries
as you may desire, also add a table
spoonful of gum arabic water to
each bottleful, to hold the gas.
When desired, pour two tablespoon
fuls of this syrup in tumbler, fill
ing the glass two thirds full of ice
or very cold water, and stir in J tea
spoonful of soda, which makes it
foam, when it is ready to drink.
We have used this in our family
for two years, and think it is as
good as we get at the drug store.
| think more of it should be used.
as it is very healthy.-Flora.
