One of the simplest and most efeetual
means of relieving pain is by the use OF
hot water, externally and internally, the
temperature varying according to the
feelings of the patient.
For bruises, sprsins, and similar accl-
dental hurts, it should be applied imme-
diately, as hot as can be borne, by means
of cloth dipped in the water and laid
on the wounded part, or by immersion II
convenient, and the treatment kept up
till relief is obtained. If applied at once,
the use of hot water will generally pre-
vent, nearly, If not entirely, the bruised
flesh from turning black.
For pains resulting from indigestion,
and known as wind collie, ETC., cup OF
hot water taken in sips will often relieve
at once. When that is insufficient fan
mel folded in several thicknesses, large
enough to fully cover the painful place,
should be wrung out of hot water and
laid over the seat of the pain. It should
be as hot as the skin can bear without
injury, and be renewed every ten min
utes, or oftener if it feels cool, until the
pain is gone.
The remedy is simple, efficient, harm
less, and within the reach of every one,
and should be more generally used than
it is. If used along with common sense
it might save many doctors bill and
many course of drug treatment as well

and young girls staggering under
huge loads of green grass, cut on the
hills and carried down on their heads
after the days work to sell for a few
confines in the village. This habit Of
carrying jars of water, baskets of fruit
and bundles of fodder on the heaC

There is in some localities grow
ing sentiment to the effect that pro-
ducers of pork by wholesome processes
should not be compelled to compete
with the degraded product from city
swill. Those who supply grass and
corn cannot realize the profit gained
bv persons who, within easy reach of
large towns, are enabled to secure
garbage or hotel refuse at low rates or
even for the hauling. The Massachu-
sets PlOughmGn considers this sub
iect at length. intelligently, and shows
that it touches not only producers, but
consumers and the general welfare,
and has even bearing upon our ex-
mort trade. First the passing swill-
cart is ian indescribable stencil and

aggravated degree, the hogpens where

suffering, peace-loving neighbors hest

age housekeeper is not able to detect
by appearance the difference between
this meat and that fattened by decent
methods. Moreover, the swine mala-
dies. spread from herd to herd, down
stream or by other means of transit,

American pork products abroad, Our
contemporary finds in these suggestive
facts warrant for legislative restric-

Cause For Rejoicing.

CINCINNATI. The Tin,es-Star says:
"a remarkable discovery made last win
ter, is attracting wide spread interest.
As it involves a most important ques-
tion,-that of public health, it is being
discussed by eminent physicians and
public men. 1t is shown cOnclusively
that throat and lung troubles can be
cured without resorting to the use Of
morphia or opium, especially danger
GUS in the case of children as arresting
development, and poisoning the system.
The Governor of Maryland and all the
officials of that State endorse the remedy;
the State chemist of Delaware pro
nounces it the purest and most effec-
tive, and hospitals and charitable insti-
tutions in Philadelphia and other cities
use it with remarkable results. The
remedy, which is only twenty-five cents
bottle, is Red Star Cough Cure. 1t
is purely vegetable; it contains no poison
or narcotics, and is positive cure.

In the Land of the Kazh.

The Afghan women, of whom perhaps
we saw dozen, says a traveller, wore
no bonnets, but simply long veil OF
gauzy stuff. Look at them in the right
way and they are pretty. Their coun-
tenances have Jewish cast, but they
are not brunettes. Their skin is pale,
strikingly so, and they wear their hair
tied over a ball, so as to make them look
more than naturally white. They walk
remarkably WELL and in the manage
ment of their wells display much grace
and elegance. OF the men Imay as well
saw that they are not unlike what a cross
between Hindoo and a Persian would
be. Athletic, fair, and well-bearded,
they have aquiline faces, with the fore
heads shaved, and the hair on the sides
hanging in curls that fall over the Shout
ders in a picturesque, shaggy, mane-like
way. Their carriage is full Of resolution
and pride, and from one corner of the
country to another you cannot but re-
mark that they remind you of bantam
roosters. And they are like them, too
turbulent, vain, brutal, quarrelsome,
liking nothing better than the practice
of cruel sport. The Kazh, or chief
tribesman of Co.'s, was as perfect game
bird as ever saw.

this poultice twice a day. In four or

The old way of roofing cuttings in
a small glass bottle filed with water
is a good method when a hOtbed can
not be used; but the bottle should not
stand so close to the window as to
become hot, and thus scald the root
lets. A little cotton wool within the
rim of the bottle will prevent evapo-
ration. In two or three weeks the
roots will be plentiful, and then the
cuttings may be transferred to thumb
pots, or, if the season suits, into the
beds. As each cutting is taken from
the bottle, dip the roots into little
warm sand until each fiber is coated;
this will keep them apart and prevent
whiting. If pots are used, nearly fill
them with rich sandy compost, and
press it to the sides, so as to leave
room in the center. Put the roots in
gently and give the plant little twist
to spread the roots, or separate them
