A Sudden Rise in Fortune.

So many stories are told about the rise
of men in Wall street that they seldom
attract as much attention now as they
did years ago, when speculation was car.
ried on with caution. One of the most
amusing specimens of Wall street men is
to be seen every day on his way to the
''street" in brougham of his own, with
O magnificent team of bays and an Eng
lish coachman on the box. Within the
brougham sits the speculator leaning
forward on his cane and looking thought
fully at his we'll gloved hands. He has
a pale and almost efeminate face, and
his manne is reserved and austere. He
is very much more exclusive and elegant
in the matter of his personal enjoyment,
twenty-four years old, and in department
more dignifei than Mr.. Gould, Mr.. Con-
nor. or Henry Clews-most of whom 60
up and down in the elevated, or in yell
low cabs. This young man had charge
of q certain department of velvets in a
firm on Worth street, and made all the
way from SIS to $25 a week. He lived in
a boarding house IN Twenty-second
street, on terms of special friendship
with the landlady. His father had per-
formed the ceremony for the landlady in
earlier years, and she kept her eye on the
clergyman's son and fed him dutifully
for 81 a week. He had often ''played'
the bucket shops and often made very
tidy little winnings. The landlady had
raised 81, 900 during her many years of
keeping boarders and was about to de-
vote it to paving off a mortgage on her
house when the solemn little c%lergyman's
son succeeded in %persuading her to in
vest some of it in Wall street. She was
a cautious woman and agreed to let him
have 5000 every Monday morning for
five successive weeks. This is not a
great amount of money, but he happened
to catch the market as it rose, and he is
with it yet. His profits the first two
weeks were enormous and the landlady
threw all of her mouey into the POOL.
Now he is living in bachelors chambers
in the Cumberland, dimes regularly at
Delmonico's and lives in a state Of mag
~nifcence suitable to a millionaire. The
older Wall street men arc immensely
amused at the spectacle, for they say
that a single slump of the market will
wipe him out of existence as completely
as though he had never lived. -Bt0oktyn

We would caution consumers OF canned
goods against allowing the contents
to remain in the cans after they are once
opened. In case of meats, the same
care should be given to them as If they
were freshly cooked, that is kept on Ice

An aid in making button-holes in a

suit will be satisfactory.

Most people like to chew a mouthful

to be a popular dish in England, but it

All About Seasick

At a recent meeting of the Berlin
medical society DIR. Ncuhaus, who lately
made a voyage round the world for the
purpose of studying the phenomena of
.seasickness, gave an account OF his OBJ
servations.
He divides people who 60 to sea into
three groups or classes-those who are
never sick, the proportion of whom does
not exceed three per cent. those who
are never we'll, who he likewise estimates
at three per cent, and those who, after
q few days sickness, adapt themselves to
their environment and suffer no further
Inconvenience. Seasickness, in the main
is caused by the rapidly varying pressure
of blood on the brain, due to the upward
and downward motion of the ship. AS
the ship descends into the troughs of a
wave, the pressure increases; as she rises
to its crest, the pressure diminishes, and
nausea is the natural and ordinary con-
sequence of q sudden rush Of blood from
the brain. While journcying around the
world DR.. Neuhaus ascertained, by person.
al observation and actual measurement,
that when a ship is much tossed about
the livers of those Of her passengers who
have not got accustomed to the motion
become affected in a very remarkable
manner. This is in part due to the loss
of liquid in the system: but in bad cases,
where the patient lies all day long in an
almost inert condition, suffering from
acute headache, the affection assumes
one of the lighter forms of blood poison
ING, from retention in the system of an
element usually given off. Great relief
may be obtained by lying on the side.
with the head resting on the breast and
the knees drawn up as near as possible
to the chin. In this position the varia-
ton in the pressure of blood on the
brain is reduced to a minimum, and the
stomach and its nerves in a great meas
ure are protected from the vibrations of
the ship. Chloral hydratc may also be
used with advantage; it soothes the irri-
tated brain, and often enables the suf-
'ferer to obtain much needed sleep. It
should be given in doses of one gramme,
but only when the sickness has lasted
three or four days, not before. Alcohol
is worse than useless.

Farm and Garden Notes.

A good wheat crop cannot be grown
on poor and hard, cloddy ground.
The fodder corn will make more and
better feed, when it is not too thick.
Speak to a horse as you would to a
gentleman, but to a milch COW, as a gen.
tleman would to q lady.
For cleansing milk cans, pans, wooden
utensils, ETC., nothing equals steam, and
nothing is more convenient.
Most farmers believe th,.t the seed
ought to be removed from pumpkins be-
fore the latter are fed to mich cows.
The impression is growing that seed
corn should be changed every four years,
or at least new kinds mixed with the
local sorts.

Worms in Horses.

The two species Of worms from which
horses and colts most commonly suffer
are a pinkish white one several inches in
length, which innabits the smaller in
testines. and a white thrcad-lik one,
about two inches in length, most COM
monty found in the rectum. The symp-
toms of tie former arc a rough, staring
coat, craving appetite, loss of flesh and
passages OF mucus with the faces. One
of the surest remedies for this species is
twelve powders, each of which should
contain tartar emctic one dram and
powdered ginger one-half dram. One Of
these powders should be given in q ball
before feeding for six mornings in sue
c~ession. A convenient manner of max
ing the ball is to mix the powder with q
tablespoonful of linsecd meal, then add
just enough hot water to make it the
consistency of dough, roll it out about
two inches in length, having it large at
one end and tapering at the other, and
place it as low upon the roots of the
tongue as possible, the small end down
ward, and hold the animals head up as
high as possible until it is swallowed.
On the seventh morning omit the ball
and give in its stead to a full-grown horse
one and one-half pints of raw linseed oil
poured from q rubber bottle or horn, if
such can be obtained, but if not, a strong
glass beer bottle will answer if proper
care is used not to break it in the horses
mouth. Omit nil the medicine for one
week, then give one of the remaining six
powders every morning until all are
used, repeating the dose of oil on the
seventh morning as before. Get from
the druggist four ounces of pulverized
copperas and four ounces of powdered
gentian thoroughly mixed. Give a
Tablespoonful in feed morning and night
for one week, then omit in the morning,
givinga spoonful at night only for an
other week, after which omit. If these
directions are carried out faithfully, the
horse will begin to improve at once and
soon appear like another animal. For
the small worms found in the rectum,
get six quarts of raw linseed oil, to which
add three ounces OF spirits of turpentine,
and stir thoroughly until we'll mixed.
Inject one pint OF this into the rectum
every night for six nights, using a com
mon rubber bulb syringe if no other is
handy. Omit the injections one week,
then repeat for six nights, and no more
trouble will be experienced from small
worms. Give the powders recommended
above, which will pu: him in condition
for recovering flesh and strength rapidly.
