killing Mental Power.
From aLetter of sGath.

From q Letter Of s'Gath.n
Mr.. Conant, the editor of Harper's
Weekly, has not appeared, and they be-
lieve in the establishment that he hada
sudden softening of the brain, and when
in that irresponsible position destroyed
himself, probably by drowning. They
think that when the weather clears up
his body will be found somewhere in
the waters of New York. These cases
of sudden softening of the brain are sell
dom in the press, and every newspaper
man or writer pushing his mind too
hard is liable at some sudden moment to
find the mind departed like the frost
from some Uranium of snow. which sud
denly turns to water and evaporates. 1
was told by a hotel keeper that Mrs.
Burnett, who wrote a number ofnovels,
has been lately ailing from having
pushed her nervous structure too much.
| know of two newspaper men in New
York state, both of apparently fine
health, who lost their brains by a sort
of s%oftening, and they have been unable
to work Il day since. One of them
was sitting at his desk when, in the
twinkling Of m eye, the mental thing
flew out of his head like the old strings
OF q piano.

Bright's Disease.

DR.. Willard Parker thus speaks con-
corning this malady: "This disease is
so called after tho English physician
DR.. Bright, who first investig gated its
character. It consists essentially of a
degeneration of epithelum of the kid
neys. This impairs the excreting pow
ers of the organ, so that the urea is
not properly removed from the blood"
This disease is characterized by album
inaria when we apply heat and nitric
acid to the urine from the kidney so af-
fected, albumen is coagulated; under
the microscope we observe moulds of
the tubules of the diseased organ.
Headache and sickness of stomach are
common symptoms, and dropsy usually
attends the disease. The retina is
usually attacked by a degenerative in
fiammatory isease, which impairs the
sight, and is detected by the opthalmo-
scope. The causes are indulgence in
strong drinks, exposure to wet and cold,
govt, Ind syphilis. The indications for
treatment are, to remove any of those
causes which may be present, relieve
congestion of the kidneys, at the same
time e~ndeavoring to increase strength
by iron and other tonics. When con
siderable dropsy occurs, cathartics may
be called for. Bright's disease may be
either acute " chronic. The prospect
OF recovery is small, but patients some.
times attain a comfortable, but gener.
ally a precarious degree of heath.

A Sad History of Grants House.

The saddest incident in the history of
Gen. Grants financial misfortunes has
never appeared in print until now, and,
as stated above, it comes to me on in.
dlspntable authority from lawyers.
When the General returned from his
trip around the world and decided to
make New York his place of residence
Tor the future, q number of leading cit
IZens OF the metropolis subscribed $780,
600 to buy a house forhim. Afterlooking
the ground over, the brown-stone struct-
ure on East SiXty-sIxth street, between
Madison and Fifth avenues, was decid-
cd upon as in every respect eligible.
The price, too, was within the amount
STANDARDIZATION, 900; but when the
donors came to purchase the property
they found there was a mortgage for
$50, 600 upon it which the holder was
not willing to yield up. He was en-
tirely satisfied with his interest of
some = per cent, and 1t was deter
mined to pay $40, 900 in cash and as
sumo the mortgage. This was done,
and the remaining $60, 900 was
turned over to Mrs. Grant, the prop
erty having been purchased in her
name. 1t was decided to let the mort
gage expire by the limitation of its own
terms. and when it fell due to meet it.
Meantime the $50, 600 was invested by
Mrs. Grant at the current rate of inter-
est, and the family moved into their
new home in the CITY Of their adoption.
When the General got into the firm
of Grant & Ward and became dazed by
the vista of financial possibilities which
opened up to his unsophisticated eyes
in Wall street, a family council was
called, and it was deemed advisable to
invest Mrs. Grants $50, 900 in Wall
street enterprises, which the head of the
household fondly believed were paying
magnificent and legitimate interest.
Why should $50 900 be allowed to draw
o beggarly rate of five or six per cent.
when it might just as well be turning
over fifteen or twenty per cent. on the
street? The $50, 900 that was to clear
the mortgage on the Grant home on
Sixty-sixth street was invested with
Grant & Ward, and it was swept away
with the rest. Thus the Grants are,
in n sense, merely tenants of the
house in which they live, and all be-
u the original holder of the mort
gage thought he had too good Oh in
vestment to let go of when Mrs. Grant
had the money to wipe it out.

The Medical Use of Eggs.

For burns and scalds there is moth
ing more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer us q varnish for q
burn than collodion, and being always
on hand, can be applied Immediately.
1t is also more cooling than the "sweet
oil and cotton" which was formerly
supposed to be the srrest application
to allay the smarting pain. 1t is the
contact with the air which gives the ex-
IRENE discomfort experienced from Or
binary accidents of thiskind; and any
thing which excludes air and prevents
inflammation is the best thing to be APP
piled. The egg is also considered one
OF the very best remedies for dysentcry.
Beaten up lightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends
by its emolllent qualities to lessen the
inflammation of the stomach and in
testines, and by forming a transient coat
ing for these organs to enable nature to
assume her healthful sway over the
diseased body. Two, or, at the most,
three eggs per day would be all that
would be required in ordinary cases;
and since the egg is not merely a med
icine, but food as we'll, the lighter the
diet otherwise, and the quieter the pa
tient is kept, the more certain and rapid
is their recovery.

Dinner Costumes.

New York Evening Post: Elegant
simplicity will be one of the arbitrary
requirements of visiting and dinner
costumes ever of the richest description
this summer. Less adjoining will be
seen, and more care and thought will be-
devoted to the perfect fit and artistic
draping of these toilets. A very rich
and elegant model from Redfern is a
dinner dress OF golden brown Lyons
satin, the back portion of the skirt ar
ranged in three full undraped breadths
OF the satin, trimmed only with a SIM
pie knife pleating rufle, which edges
the entire skirt. In front a long full
apron overdress, which reaches quite
to the foot Of the skirt, is laid in wide
pleats at the top, and at the sides simply
joins the full drapings If the back. Be.
low the fifth button OH the bodice, n
vest OF silk, covered with a solid and SUI
peru embroidery In shaded bronze
beads, is set in, and the very high mill
tary collar and the outside portions OF
the sleeves are likewise adorned.

The Model Cow.

Correspondence of the Country Gentleman.
The "general-purpose" COW, so long
sought by those who have done the
least to improve the native stock, with
which nobody is satisfied, is not here
MOI elsewhere. Perfection in animal
structure, such as will produce the
highest results in converting food into
beef, Is antagonistic to the best results
in turning food into milk, cream and
butter. Hence, the more perfect the
beef animal, the less the milk. This is
an age of strong competition; no ono
shop can succeed in turning out work
which q half-dozen can do cheaper and
better. The 10Y that is the most sue.
cessfnl as q heef-maker can not we'll
compete as q milk and butter producer.
The hope of a general-pnporse COW,
Which will combine in one animal all
the capabilities Of these specialists,
may as we'll be dismissed.
The model COW, however, is already in
the field. She may be found in the
Shorthorn, Hereford and polled Angus
for beef; the Holland and Ayrshire for
milk and cheese; and in the Guernsey
and jersey for rich milk, cream
and butter. Good butter-makers
undoubtedly exist among Short
horns. Now and then q profitable beef
animal may be found among the Hol-
land or Ayrshire cattle, or any of the
breeds. Even the natives do as we'll.
The objection to the Common COW" is
that she Is inferior, as 3 rule, for any of
the purposes for which a COW is wanted.
Her ancestors are mixed, and as she
breeds like herself or like some of her
ancestors, the result is too uncertain ;
she must be breed up or discarded. No
capitalist who has invested III a Western
ranch will send to it a herd of Jerseys,
Guernseys, Ayrshires or even parhaps
Holland cattle, with a view to make
beef his chief product. Short-horn,
Hereford and Polled Angus bulls are
superseding all others on the Western
plains. The men engaged in beefmak-
ing on a large scale care very discrimi-
mating in their choice of machinery.
The greatest amount of beef in the few
est years is what they seek. The cost
and quantity of food necessary to make
a pound of beef is an element that will
more largely enter into their calcula-
lions whenever they are compelled to
raise or pay for the food which their
animals Then they may aid
in deciding which of the beef bulls has
a decided advantage, if either has it.
One fat steer will not decide which is
the superior as a breed.

House Aquatics.

There is a great charm in, growing
plants in water. Some of our ordinary
house plants may be grown with sue
cess in this way, so that any one who
chooses can have a plant aquarium in the
window. Where there are goldfish the
tank or globe will answer for some
plants, and these introduced will bene-
fit the fish also by keeping the water in
better condition for them. AS to suitable
plants, the Gala, among common ones,
may be placed at the head of the list.
Either the ordinary species or it's dwarf
variety, or the near relative with spotted
leaves, known as the richandia, are
adapted to the purpose. Of these we
think the dwarf Gala would generally be
found the most suitable. H~yacinths
and other bulbs that have been brought
forward, either in glasses or in soil,
may be added to the aquatic collection.
Those taken from the soil must first
have their roots cleaned. The bulbs
should be suspended over the water by
means of wire holders, so that only the
extreme base of each and the roots will
enter the water. Here the bulbs will
grow and flower very we'll. Growing
branches of the trailing t~radescanthia
or Wandering Jew will thrive in water
by inserting the lower ends in the ele-
ement. The pickerel weed from the
ponds is also a handsome aquatic for
the house. This can he had all over
the country for the digging.

FARM, FIELD And PRESIDE.
For the Cook.

B1scurrs.-Two pounds OF flour,
three drachms carbonate of ammonia in
fine powder; four ounces of sugar;
four ounces OF butter; one egg; mix in
to a stiff paste with new milk, and beat
well with q rolling pin for half an hour;
roll out thin, cut out and bake in a
quick oven.
A Drink that is truly refreshing for
one suffering from sore throat or cold is
made by pouringa quart of boiling wa
ter over a carefully washed handful of
Irish moss. Let it stand until the wa
ter is cool, then strain through a mus
lin bag; add sugar and lemon juice,
with a few thin slices Of lemon, until it
is about like mild lemonade; a little
cinnamon is considered an addition by
some people.
CHICKEN PH.-Stew chicken till ten
der, season with one-quarter of pound
of butter, salt and pepper; line the
sides of q pie-dish with q rich crust,
pour in the stewed chicken, and cover,
loosely with n crust. first cutting n hole
In the center. Have ready q can of
oysters; heat the liquid, thicken with a
little flour and water and season with
salt, and pepper and butter the size of
an egg. When it to n boil,
pour it ove the oysters and about TWEEN
ty minutes befroe the pie is done lift
the top crust and put them in.
TOMATO SALAD-Select ripe tomatoes,
plunge them in boiling water for a mo-
ment to loosen the skin, peal them and
put them on ice. Chop a small onion
very fine, and when you are ready to
make the dressing, slice the tomatoes,
add a chopped onion, and dress with a
teaspoonful Of salt, a saltspoonful of
pepper, two tablespoonful of oil and a
teaspoon Of vinegar. This is the most
correct way of making a tomato salad.
DAT MEAL PoRR1DGE.-"Put on in q
kettle water sufficient for the quantity
required, let it come to a boil, then stir
in handful after handful of oat-meal till
it thickens, when you can leave it to
cook itself, taking care not to leave it
on too brisk a fire for fear OF burning.
Let it boil till you can see little hills
and big mountains rise and disappear.
After cooking ten minutes add salt to
taste, let it boil ten or fifteen minutes
longer, then serve. We use the fine
oatmeal. as it requires less cooking
than the coarse" We shall be glad to
have G. G. send the recipes she speaks
of.

A Practical Girl
From tho Philadelphia Press.

From tho Philadelphia Press.
Helen Burdett's father was an Hi
nois farmer, with q good farm of per-
haps 200 acres, but without any n to
share his labors or inherit his estate.
He accordingly brought up his daugh-
ter Helen very much as he would have
brought up q boy. She was strong and
healthy, very intelligent, and with a
decided taste for outdoor life, and she
very soon attained a reputation for
Judgment" and for knowledge second
to that of no farmer or stock-raiser in
the vicinity. When she was eighteen
years old her father died, and it seemed
necessary that she should carry on the
place for at least a year to come, a task
to which she was fully equal. The
crops were accordingly planted under
her direction, and she went out to buy
steers, as her father usually went
at that season. She purchased
sixty-tive head Of steers pastnr-
ed them during the ummer, and
sold them at the end Of the season at q
clear profit of exactly $l,066. She
knew every kind of land on the farm,
every inch of the ground" as the say
ing is and just What should be done with
it.. Every man in the vicinity UNDER
stood that she was thoroughly intelli-
be usless to try to overreach her. One
49,. .-t-. ,l,.-t 1~,. N
marked in the vernacular of the Il
try. "There ANITA man in the State
can size up q herd of steers as close rs
she can, and orr d%roveyer says she
beats him at a bargain every time"
Yet Miss Helen Burdett is us modest
and lady-like as any girl in the United
States. The drover did not mean that
she cheat him down." or Cheat him
out, but simply that she understood
cattle and could tell their points" bet
ter than he could.
When Helen was fourteen years old
her father gave her permission to go
and buy acow for herself. She went
forth alone and independent, bought
her COW, and came home leading it by
the rope.
14ti CIV PIoNet " pc VI SASclleHt LII
vestment. Il knew" said her father,
chat she could pick out a better one
than I could myself, and l believe she
has done it,"
A picture of Miss Helen Burdett
stands before me, as I write. But she
is Helen Burdett no longer. A wealthy
young farmer from the far west came
to know and love her, and appreciated
her value. When she married, her
fathers house and farm were sold at
auction. She managed the sale and it
was completed most admirably. The
picture is taken in her wedding dress,
and the quiet, regular, thoughtful face
would indicate to the uninitiated a
student, possibly an artist or a writer.
No one would suspect tins elegantly at
tired and self-possessed young woman
of being q thorough farmer and an ex-
pert s~tock-raiser. " tell you," said a
keen old man, who has watched her
progress from early girlhood, cts a
lucky man that gets Helen Burdett for
a wife. She'll double his property, in
plain dollars and cents, if he'll only
take her advice, inside of five years"
