Hints for the Housewife.

Dark carpets do not need to be
swept oftener than light ones if you
give them a good busting, say twice
week, with a flannel cloth tied
around an ordinary broom.
When one has been so unfortunate
as to get machine STAINS on white
sewing, saturate the piece of work in
cold water Immediately, soak for two
hours, dry in the sun, then wash in
the usual way.
Dust has such sad way of insinu-
atlng itself wherever there is place
for it to lodge or work through, that.
housekeepers are almost distracted to
find brooms and busters that will get
in every nook and crevice. A long
handled feather buster, short
handled feather buster, toy broom,
whist broom, flat bristle brush,
paint brush and the ordinary cheese
cloth busters seem to do all the dust
ing that is required, if vigorously
welded.

"'The House l Live H." an ele-
mentary physiology for children in
the public schools, by Eli f. Brown,
NJ. D.; Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co.,
Cincinnati, New York and Boston.
12mo., full cloth, SO pages; fully
illustrated with engravings and full
page colored plates. Sample copies
and introduction price, 80 cents.
This work is prepared with marked
originality and ingenuity, and the
ideas, set forth so clearly that they
may be easily grasped by the most
youthful mind, reflect great credit on
the author. The human body is COM
pared to house and the idea so in
geniously carried out, the language
employed so simple and easy of COM
prehension, that the little child almost
unconsciously gains a proper under
standing Of the laws of health. The
injurious effects of tobacco and alco-
holic drinks are set forth freely in the
text, and as an adjunct to the tenn
perance cause its value cannot be too
highly estimated.

A valuable pamphlet showing the
vast region throughout the world
where suffrage now exists, in Amer

As book of reference for the lee
turer its value can scarcely be esti-
mated. The facts are upheld by fg-
ures, which make it appear ia the
light of revelation, even to those
who are well informed on the progress
of suffrage. 1t will also be very use

publish by parts in newspapers, and
to circulate privately. 1t will make
a profound impression everywhere.

Mustard is the nearest approach to

HAM PArrIEs.-An appetizing dish
that furnishes way for using rem
snants of cold ham is found in ham
patties. Chop fine some scraps of
lean ham. Mix with this a good deal
OF crumbed bread season with pep
per. If the ham is all lean add a
lump of butter. Moisten with milk
to a soft paste. Fill muffin tins with
this and break an egg upon the top
OF each. Sprinkle over the top with
pepper and salt and few cracker
crumbs, and bake till the egg is done,
or about ten minutes.
PICKING BEEF. AT this season of
the year, when farmers are butcher
ing beeves for the winters meat, it is
very essential to know just how to
preserve it nice and fresh until next

The effects of undue exposure to heat
vary widely. and are by no means al
ways proportionate to the temperature
10 which the person has been exposed.
The so called sun stroke. or heat stroke,
may occur either In the direct rays Of
the sun or in hot rooms. such as laundry
rooms or the holds Of steamships. At
tacks may occur in the night as well as
during tie day, and. in general, are to
be feared al times when the atmosphere
is loaded with moisture, 50 that free per-
spiration is checked. Experience shows
that the drinking of ice water, when the
body is oysrheated, is prolific cause Of
these attacks All degrees Of severity
are met with. from the lighbest attack of
headache and dizziness 10 the sudden
stroke which ends in death within a few
minutes. Some authorities would make
three distinct degrees Of heat prostra-
ton, although the line is seldom dis
tinctly drawn in any given case
The first variety includes those cases
which show nothing more than a sudden
faintness. muscular weakness and dizzi-
ness. with, perhaps, nausea and vomit-
ing. The surface Of the body is cool,
The pulse rapid and feeble. IN such cases
rest in a rccumbent position in cool
place for few hours viii generally give
relief.
in the second class Of cases, the respi-
ration and heart s action are affected. and
the patient may die suddenly Of syncope
Active measures must be entered upon
at once. The patient should be removed
10 cool spot, the clothing removed or
loosened. and cold water applied to the
head. Complete recovery from the ef-
feots may not take place for years.
The third form is the most severe. and
in the majority Of cases proves fatal.
The sufferer becomes unconscious. the
skin is dry. the pulse slow and full. the
face flushed, and the breathing labored.
Generally there IS entire Inconsistencies,
and sometimes convulsions. The tenn
peratGre runs excessively high. and the
first attempt should be to bring it to the
normal point. For this purpose cold
baths and the application Of ice are indi-
Gated. As soon as the temperature is
lessened stimulation must be commenced
10 counteract the great depression which
always follows. 1t is important to re-
member that there is little danger from
heat 50 long as the perspiration is free.
By bearing this in mind many who are
exposed might no doubt avert the threat
ened attack by leaving work and seeking
shelter as soon as the diminstion in per-
spiration is noticed.-New Orleans Plea

DR.. Urbanschitsch, Of Vienna, has for
some time past been engaged in a series
Of experiments on the mutual action of
the sense organs. and the results he has
obtained are most curious. The senses
of sight and hearing were shown by these
experiments to be 20 some extent de-
pendent on each other. Colored plates
were placed at distance where the csi-
ors could scarcely be distinguished, but
on the production of various sounds ths
colors were more readily recognized, ths
colors becoming the more distinct the
higher the pitch of the same. Printed
matter could also be read in a dimly
lighted room much better If the ears
were simultaneously employed in receiv-
ing sounds than in complete silence. In
like manner the activity Of the eyes aid
in the recognition of sounds. The tick
ing Of watch WAS found 70 be more
easily heard in the light with the eyes
open than in the dark with the eyes
closed.
Various colors Of light were found to
vary in their effects upon the auditory
organs. red and green strengthening and
blue and green weakening them. In the
case Of taste and smell corresponding
effects were observed. Light in general.
and particularly red and green. heightens
their sensitiveness. Willie blue and yell

The gapes is an exceedingly common
disease among chickens and there are
numerous so called remedies. Among
these are: Inserting a small feather just
moistened with turpentine into the
windpipe and twisting the feather
sharply previous to Withdrawing it; car
bolic fumes. mixing garlic and asa
fetida in the birds food and Q little
salicylic acid IN the drinking water.
Beale recommends placing the chicks In
a box and busting them well with fine
lime, which gets into the throat and
makes the birds cough. thus bringing
out the worms which occasion the gapes
This treatment must not be continued

Rural New Yorker says that simple
method Of curing the gapes in chicks,
and one that is successful in the hands
of some persons. is 10 pinch the wind
pipe. With the left hand hold the head
OF the bird up and the neck straight,
and with the thumb and finger Of the
right hand pinch the windpipe smalTly.

as possible and follow it upward to the
mouth. BE careful TO release it fre-
