Pine Extract for Bathing.

1t has long been recognized that
the atmosphere of pine forests has an
invigorating and beneficial effect up.
on people with weak constitutions,
and suffering from pulmonary dis.
orders. At some of the watering
places of Germany the very simple
prescription of the physician is that
the patient should spend several
hours a day walking or riding
through the pine woods. This simple
treatment is sometimes supplement
ted by the taking of pine baths, and
in the case of kidney diseases and
for delicate children this is claimed
to be very beneficial. The bath is
prepared by simply pouring into the
water about half a tum blerful of an
extract made from the fresh needles
of the pine. This extract is dark in
color and closely resembles molasses
in consistency, and when poured in
to the bath gives the water a muddy
appearance with slight foam on the
surface. The repugnance one feels
to enter into such muddy looking
fluid is dispelled as soon as the de-
lightful aroma which arises from the
bath is inhaled. Although there
may be some doubt whether pine
baths act upon the system in any
other wise than as tonic, still as an
adjunct to the daily bath, infusion of
the pine extract induces most agree
able sensation. 1t gives the skin a
deiciously soft and silky feeling, and
the effect upon the nerves is quoting.
1t is matter of some surprise to us

ease the conscience Of gamblers in

horses have any scruples as to any
of the measures used in the years
gone by they might be greatly re-
lieyed by loaning or giving the SER
vices OF their trotters for so high and
Christian a purpose.
4. Being a well-meant Christian
endeavor, doubtless the revenue
would be unprecedented.
5. Who knows but that by such
promiscuous intermingling of the
Church and the world some might
be attracted from the horse-trot to
the Church-services on Sunday and
on other occasions ? 1t might be
that certain class would be attracted
to revival seasons and be thus bene-

Methodists will be so squemish as
not to sanction a great, general

that lemon juice and sugar seemed to

For slight burns on baby's fingers
bit of court plaster will give speedy
relief; we always use it. Cuts should
be simply tied up tightly to hold the
edges together, and covered with
court plasters when done bleeding.

A sick child is much more comfort

health she will reap her reward
when they obey her in Sickness

Carpenters, cabinet-makers, and arti-
sans in wood generally, often encounter
a difficulty In withdrawing a screw
from work, by the screw turning
around under the application Of the
driver, and refusing 10 come out Of Its
place. In such a case the screw may
have been driven nearly home originally
by a hammer instead Of with o driver,
and hence no regular corresponding
thread been formed in the wood. In
other cases the screw may have been
properly driven with a driver, yet being
In old work the thread may have
oxidized from the screw, or the wood
about the thread may have decomposed
so as to leave the thread Of q screw
without a matrix. Under either OF
these circumstances 1t becomes neces-
sary to wrench off hinges and parts
fastened by the screws, oftentimes TO
the great injury Of the woodwork so
assailed and always with that risk.
The London Bladder offers q simple
way out Of this di1iculty. VIZ: the
application OF heat to the head of the
screw, which may be done with q
heated poker or some such instrument.
A few moments Of such application
will render the withdraw of such a
contrary screw as easy q matter with a
driver as II 1t had been recently and
properly driven. The Builder suggests
in driving screws that their tips be
dipped in oil in order to defer rustlng
or oxidation.
