To stop diarrhea in calf, raw egg
stirred in the milk is good. Lime
water is also good. 1t is prepared by
putting a small lump the size of an
egg in a gallon jug aud filling with
water and shaking. When the water
becomes clear, it is ready for use. A
tablespoonful of this water should be
put in each calf's ration of milk when
there are signs OF securing. It is a
good plan to gradually reudce the
milk. If there is much diarrhea, one
meal may be skipped altogether. This
lime remedy is an old one, and is said
to be a very good one indeed. d.-tSo,tih'

How to Judge Canned Goods.

Cassell's Family Magazine: A hint
now about timed goods, meat especi-
ally. Note, when about to purchase,
the condition OF the tin if buiged
outwards don't have it, even as gift
We will explain the process of canning
to give weight to our warning. The
meat is packed in tins while raw, then
sealed aud cooked in an outer vessel OF
boiling water, with sometimes the
addition of chemical to raise the
temperature. When cooked the can
fs pierced, and as soon as the air and
steam have been expelled it is
soldered. Experts know when 1t ls
ready for soldering; moment too
soon and the mischief is done, because
if air is left in, the tin bulges and the
meat will not be good. On the con-
trary, if the tin has sunk 1t is an infal-
lible sign OF goodness it proves a
vacuum, which Is natural, as the meat
shrinks when no air is left in the tin.
Some may~say,. what matter if air be
left In the tin? Simply this nitro
gen, nm element Of air, imparts TO bod
les with which it comes in contact q
tendency to change and decay. Often,
on opening a tin of preserved goods,
people are heard TO say "The air is
escaping ;" instead of which the slight
Kissing sound is the result of the air
rushing in, another proof that there
was q vacuum. Well, we go 80 far as
to say that, assuming the outward
sign of goodness above referred to, 6

prove that Bessemer pig can be pro-

Thirty Years 4 Detective.

Allan Pinkerton, the famous detective,
was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in the
year l849. He died IN Chicago, July LIST,
1884. It is difficult in brief sketch to
estimate his life and public services. It
was hard life, busy life, and a great
life, and it rendered services to this
country which can hardly be over-esti-
mated, and which it has been the fortune
of but few men to equal.
His thousands of successful assaults
against organized and determined crime,
in many countries, are facts familiar, and
they constitute foundation for g fair
and just estimate of his life and the
man real character.
The mental characteristics of Allan
Pinkerton were judgment as to facts,
knowledge of men, the ability to concen-
trate his faculties on one subject, and
the persistent power of will A mysteri-
GUS problem of crime against which his
life was devoted, presented to his
thought was solved almost in an instant,
and seemingly by his intuitions. With
half-closed eyes he saw the scene in
which the wrong was done, read every
movement of the criminals, and reached
invariably the correct conclusion as to
the conduct of the crime, and the guilt of
those who committed it, His mental
view was broad; no one circumstance
directed or controlled it. He saw all the
facts, and on them based his conclusions.
He was self-possessed and well-poised.
The certainty of his judgment, though
characterized by a quick movement of
the intellect, was the result of vigorous
and calm thought.
He has left us in his writings sufi-
cient chronicle of his detective expert
ences, that this and future generations
may know much of his useful life. His
ruling idea in the publication of his
books was to show to the public how
surely and inevitably detection and
punishment follows the commission of
crime, and it is wonderful that amid all
his tolls he found time sufficient to re-
count so ably his thrilling stories. They
read like fiction, though facts they all
are.
