so Dora Smith always wishes to prac-

order for the keyboard. The best work
for any one troubled with cold hands is
Next to sitting in a damp room in its
evil effects is riding in a damp carriage,
ana yet it often happens that this is
done. Strong persons, perhaps. may
not be injured by it, but delicate ones
may. Our attention has been called to
this subject while staying in a distant
town and going out in the evening in a
carriage with friends to visit other
friends. During our trip it srined, and
our carriage was damped by it. SO much
so that it would have hardly been safe
for an invalid to ride in it. Public car
riages are often out in weather more
or less wet and become damp as well as
dirty, and in this condition cannot be a
safe place for the invalid to ride.
In the London Lancet. DR.. NJ. o. Hat
ton recommends the following treat
ment for constipation in infsnts-Take
one quart Of bran meal, tie it up in
pudding bag SO tight as to get firm,
solid mass, put it into q pot of water
early in the morning, and let it boil
until bedtime; then take it out and let |
it dry. In the morning peal off from |
the surface and throw away the thin |
rind of dough, and with q nutmeg
crater CRATE down the dry, hard mass |
into a powder. OF this, from one to |
three teaspoonfuls may be used by first |
rubbing 1t into paste with little milk, |
then adding it to about pint of milk. |
and finally bringing the whole to just |
the boiling point. 1t must be given |
nursing bottle.
An exchange reports the method of
treating wheat seed to prevent smut, |
adopted by the farmers of Willamette |
Valley. Finely pulverize ID. of blue |
vitriol for every 10 bu. of seed. Fill 40 |
gal. barrel about half full of water, put |
IN, say, 8 lbs. of The vItriol, letting 1t |
stand u to q hours to dissolve (using |
hot water, if haste is neeGed). Put |
bushei OF seed in each of 3 or 4 sacks |
,burlaps or gunny are best, drop them
IN the solution, and place on q wide |
plank. that will run the drippings back |
into the barrel. As the solution is
reduCsd, add more. Let the seed stand |
over night, so it will dry before souring.
The work may be done on wet days, or
before sowing time, as the grain is unin-
Iured by standing after the blue YitrioI
application.
Bundle foot in fowls is caused by too
