What Tobacco Did.

Chicago Herald: Tobacco is q fear
full thing" said the engineer, as he al
lowed one foot to hang averthe board
of his engine; 'it nearly drove me crazy
once, and caused a wreck that might
have killed City people. For many
years / had been a great tobacco
chewer, and was often told if I didn't
use the weed in more moderation
might expect to see my nervous sys-
tenn 60 all to pieces. Sometimes !
thought / would make an effort to
quit, and then I'd conclude it was no
use.
"Well, to make q long story short,
/ was running along one day when !
began to feel queer. There was a sort
ofboilingi in my brain. My eyes danced
so / couldn'ttell telegraph pole from
a double-header coming my way. ]
called to my firemen to taken my place,
and but for him, IbelieveI shouldhave
gone mad right there. Thetobacco you
see."
"Butyou are chewingtobacco now?''
"Of course I am. / forgot to tell
you that the time / went crazy I was
trying to quit chewing, and hadn't
| tasted tobacco for forty-eight hours.
| The fireman handed me a chaw, and
in ten minutes / was all right
again, and have neve tried to quit
since. Haveyea any ine-cut aboutyour
clothes7"

Pork,

Early feeding is especially profitable
in the fattening OF pigs. Pork always
brings a better price early in the sea
son than later. Besides the flesh and
fat are made in October and Novem-
Der at a cost of no more than half the
feed required two months later. There
is no need to wait for the corn to ripen.
Every farmer should have a stock Of
old grain on hand to finish off the pigs.
But the present year / have found
soft, unripe corn, just past the milk,
to be better for fattening than dry,
hard corn. have been n the hahi
for many years of feeding sweet corn
stalks with thesoft ears upon themto
COWS and have found this food to be
best of all for making milk plentiful
and rich. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that what will make butter will make
fat, and l have found it true. Green
corn ears, with the stalks, when given
to horses have made them sleek and
fat, and some pigs fed in this way
have fattened up more rapidly than
ever before. The soft, juicy corn is so
easily digestible that more of it al be
eaten and disposed of to advantage
than of dry, hard corn.

The Danger of C%ontagion in Throat
Troubles.

The medical editor of Babyhood
writes: A recent case within our
knowledge, in which fatal diphtheria
developed upon what had been believed
to be a simple quinsy, suggests a few
words regarding the duty OF isolating
any case of sore throat where there
are other children in the house. With
out entering upon any disputed points
regarding diphtheria, it is generally
agreed that the distinctive visible sign
of it is its peculiar membranous de
post. A case may present clearly the
conditions OF common sore throat"
and subsequently diphtheria be I'M
mistakably present. For our pur-
poseit is unnecessary to discuss wheth-
er such cases are diphtheriticfro from the
first or become so. The point for par
ents to know is that the sequence
of dangerous symptoms upon those
apparently slight is not uncommon,
and that it is better for them to iso-
late a child fifty times unnecessarily
than to be neglectful once.
We would urge, then, that if at all
possible, every child suffering from
sore throat be isolated until it is dis
tinctly convalescent. Physicians are
often embarrassed in urging the isola-
ton of patients, by the timidity or
suspiclousness OF parents. If in such
a case as has been described, the ply
stefan recommends the precaution Of
isolation, the family, if of the timid
type, is at once thrown into a panic
assuming that the physician really
considers that the case is diphtheria
or that he expectsit will prove to be,
and that he is %concealing the facts,
while really he is only taking proper
sanitary precautions.
Other persons, on the other hand, inn
mediately interpret the physicians
frank statement of his reasons for iso-
lating a supposed simple case as an evi-
dence of want of knowledge on his part.
They apparently think that to the
properly educated physician diseases
are rs distinct and as easily discrimi-
mated as coins of different denomina-
tions. With such people the only
course is to strongly advise isolation,
and to give the reason for it and &c
let them take the responsibility Of
neglecting the suggestionif they choose
to do SO. Intelligent people usually
are grateful for the warning, even if it
prove to have been unnecessary, and
although they sometimes chaff the
the physician as 'fussy."

The Processes Used in Renewing Laces,
Silks and Velvets.

A careless waiter or an accident at
the dinner table may u the appar-
ent ruin of laces, silks orvelvets worth
large sums of money. Ifthelady tries
to clean them herself, she makes mat.
ters worse and makes it impossible
for the professional cleaners to do
anything with them afterward. These
cleaners have peculiar methods in
renovating these delicate fabrics, and
many of them they will not reveal,
as they are secrets of the trade.
"The treatment OF fine laces," said
a cleaner, sis an expensive and trou-
blesome process. A thick blanket of
soft rags is sewed around a bottle,
and on this the lace is pinned. 1t
is quite impossible to rub lace,
as it would tear it to pieces.
The bottle is then placed in
a bath of soapy warm water. After
soaking for twenty minutes, it is
boiled for some time and then allowed
to cool. 1t is dipped in several baths
of clear water, until all the soap seems
to be removed. The lace is then re-
moved from the bottle, and, after
part of the water is driven out by gen.
tie pressure, it is hung up to dry. At
ter a time it is laid on a soft cloth to
dry still more. When slightly damp
it is placed on a hair cushion covered
with flannel, and is fastened there
with lace pins. This is a work of skill
and patience. Apin is passed through
each loop and a twist is given before
the pin is fastened. Sometimes the
loop is drawn straight and sometimes
not, the operator seeking to follow
the original design of the lace. When
quite dry the lace is sponged with q
weak solution of gum arabic, and
when dry again, it is almost as good
as new.
"The method OF cleansing velvet is a
secret. 1t can be greatly freshened by
steaming it over boiling water care
being taken to expose the wrong side
of the velvet to the steam; but this is
usafal only where = damage IS not
very great. can tell you only that
the process is q dry one, and chalk is
used in it. Velvet that has been wet
is hard to treat, but we have been able
to do wonders with it.
cit is a very common thing for
actresses to bring elaborate silk and
| satin costumes to be renewed, and we
also have many fine ball dresses. We
do not take them apart, but cleanse
them as they are. They are first
dipped in a bath of naphtha, and this
removes ink, champagne, and many
other stains. Then they 90 into q
bath Of pure benzine, which takes out
| all the grease. They are softly rub
bed in these baths, and any spots re
naming are treated with oxalic acid
They are rinsed out in warm water
and dried over steam coils. To iror
them would harden the silk and mak'
it shiny, so it is run over steam rolls
or ironed between 1annels. We hav,
ironers whose bushes it is to iror
dresses, and when they have finished
a dress it looks new. Mildew is re
moved by oxalic acid"

Remody for Poison Ivy.

DR.. S. A. Brown, U. S.N., says in the
Medical Record, that he has found a
specific to the troublesome eruption
produced by the poison oak or poi
son ivy so common in our woods and
along old fences. This specific he finds
in bromine, which he has used with
u~nvarying success in at least forty
cases. He uses the drug dissolved in
olive OIL, cOsmoline, or glycerine, in
the strength of from 10 to 20 drops of
bromine to the ounce Of oil, and rubs
the mixture gently on the affected
parts three or four times a day. The
bromine is so volatile that the solu-
ton should be renewed every twenty
four hours. The eruption never ex-
tends after the first thorough applica-
ton, and it promptly disappears with
in twenty-four hours ifthe application
is persisted in.

A correspondent of the Farm Jour
nal. thus comnares mules with horses
as a farm team: 'They are longer liv-
ed, less likely to balk, less liable to
disease or unsoundness, will stand
rough treatment better, have thicker
hide and hair, consequently can stand
cold storms better, are less particular
about their fare, and will eat weeds
and coarse grass that horses would
refuse. He is less likely to run away,
and If he does run don't get scared
and kick things to pieces, but follows
the road and stops when he thinks he
has gone far enough, and SO is no
more likely to run again than il moth
ing had happened; he takes less grain
but fully as much rough feed as O.
horse, takes less Sticking up as he is
oniya mule anyway. This is hisgood
side; now let us 60 around and look
at the other side. Al mule is very apt
to act roguish. He will jump fences,
throw them down, climb over and
crawl through. just as he pleases;
therefore, when you turn him In past
ure you have no idea where you will
find him or how you will catch him.
1t is owing to how a farmer is situat-
ed which kind of a teamhe wants. il he
employs all kinds of drivers, has
steady work and keeps his team up
nights, he wants mules. But If his
team IS driven by trusty drivers and
can ri on pasture a part of the time
horses are much more convenient"

The sentiments in thefoliowingfrom
the Household are not new, but they
are so good and true they will justify
frequent repetition:
