"A useful article to hang in a bed
room or closet Is a case made OF linen,
in which umbrellas and canes can be
kept. The case should be cut in the
form of a closed umbrella-that is, it
should slope from the top to the bottom
gradually. There should be a division,
SO that the canes will not be in the
same pocket with the umbrellas; bind
this all around with brown ribbon or a
heavy braid, and with brown crewel
embroider On the front the outlines of
an umbrella and a cane.
DIR. j. r. Irwin says that one of the
best and most pleasant things that can
be used to relieve toothache is chewing
cinnamon bark. 1t destroys the sensi-
bility of the nerves, and suspends the
pain Immediately, if the bark is of good
quality. After repeated trials, and in
different cases, he is convinced that it is
generally as ~efficacious as any of the
other remedies suggested for odontal-
gia, and not attended with the unpleas-
ant consequences of c~reosote, carbolic
acid, etc., which relieve the pain, but
leave the mouth as sore and painful as
the tooth was previously; though these
results are usually due to carelessness
in using.-Boston Journal of Chemistry.
