Ny soE, Johnny Byrs, was sufferer for
three years with carries of the bone slough
ing away of the bone) from near his knee
to his ankle. II was full Of holes and dis
charging pus. Then about so pieces OF
bone came ost-one piece four inches long
and one FIVE inches long and three-quar-
sers OF an inch wide. We employed first
class surgical aid. They scraped the bone
and did all usually done in such cases.
with also the usual aud invariable result
namely, nothing. The boy was getting
worse right along; could barely drag him
self ON clutches, and Ii was plain that he
had 70 lose his leg soon-perhaps his life.
We heard great deal about DIR. J. Eugene
Jordan and about his new system of mcdi-
cine and the unprecedented cures it per-
formed. We took the boy up, and he said
that his medicine would cure that in COM
parativaly short time, and IL did. Two
months treatment cured him entirely. He
discarded the crutehes and is going to
school, q distance OF two and half miles
and return. We cannot express our graft
tude In words to DR.. Jordan and his God
sent sygtem. JOSEPH BYRs.

House Keeping vs.. Home Keeping.

There is a distinction and a very import
ant difference between housekeeping and
housekeeping. Notwithstanding the great
number of people who lire on what might be
called the cooperative plan, By boarding at
hotels, restaurants, etc., the larger part OF
the American people still keep house" In
the average article upon the subject, all who
are married and keep hoase are placed in
one class, while those who live in the semi
-communistic style which is becoming so
prevalent, are placed in another. This is n
mistake. Those who are making or keeping
homes should be placed in one class. while
those who are simply keeping house or help
ing to keep house and the great mass Of the
houseless and homeless using the word in
its true sense, should be placed together in
tho other. It is not from the houses Of the
past, but from the homes Of the past that
our great men have come. Il is homes, not
houses that we want 10 create and perpefu-
ate. Il is the old-fashioned home and old
fashioned Housekeeping" net tho houses
and the housekeeping OF tho olden time
which need to pc p~erpetUated.
The home Of today IS not Ike the home Of
our grandfather oreyen our father, tho very
recollection Of which is a benedietion. The
true home is not the creation Of day it IS
the result Of years Of conservation and saeri-
fee. Il is not q husband, wife and children;
it is not four walls, 4 piano and a variety Of
household utensils and furniture. Il is a
distinct creation-marvelous and intricate.
Il must have material substance-a body
but It must have more than q mere transient
mortal existence; it must have a soul, i'm
perishable and immortal. AS is tho body
without the soul, SO is the house without the
spirit OF the home. The great error Of the
American people is the supposition that this
spirit which must inspire every .house-
keeper is something which can be e~oniured
up in a momcnt.-Rural New-Yorker.

As to cosmetics, many women declare that
a little powder is perfectly harmless, and no
doubt it is, If it consists simply Of some pre-
paration OF starch, devoid Of any mineral in
gredient. Only the wearcr Of even this
harmless powder must always wash it Of
before retiring. But we always think that
any trace of powder looks decidedly u%nelean;
It is not altogether ladyiikc to cur old
fashioned ideas, and We think any girl does
well to leave it alone.
To keep the face and lips soft and smooth
they should be anointed daily with cold
| cream or glyeerine and rose water-a little
experience viii prove which is best suited 70
ones use. The cold cream may be made al
| home. at q decided saving from druggists
/ charges. The formula Is as follows: Two
ounces OF spermaceti, one ounce q white
wax, two ounces Of almond oil, two ounces
/ Of rose water. Put the |spermaeeti. wax and
| oil In 4 china vessel on tie hack Of the stove
until they are all dissolved. LIT it cn and
/ stir in the rose water, continuing to sir III
ii the compound has dissolved. This Il ex-
cellent and comforting FOR chapped hands.
It should be rubbed on the face just before
| retiring. During the winter il is az excellent
plan to rub a little cold cream or glyceriRe on
the face before going cut into a piercing
wind, It is a preventive Of chipping.
This is all vanity. some Of you may say.
But a clear and rosy skin not only means
| good health, it is often the index q good
| temper into the bargain. Bad temper, Fret
ting and worrying are usually quite az detri-
mental to the complexion as bal health. We
can't all be angelic in disposition, ls- we ean
atleast take life easily. Advice IT, she sirl
who wants to cultivate or To keep a good
complexion MAJ be easily summed up;
Don't fret. Don't chew gam. Don't stay 10
doors moro than you can lulp. Don't drink
too much tea or coffee. Don't cat az manner
of trash, and too much Of It at that. Don't
neglect regular and frequent bathing. Don't
stay up late, but have regular hours for
sleeping as for everything else. Bear in
mind all these 'dont's,7 and you viii have
little use for powder.-Rural New Yorker.

BIiidew ON Roses.

How best to prevent mildew, OF TO clea-
the roses Of this troublesome fungus after its
ar earance, isa question that often confronts
ilc grower, and particularly at this season OF
the wear. when the sun IS still strong at mid
dav. aad 80 heating the houses that con-
siderable ventilation is necessary to reduce
the temperature. This operation often re-
suits in an attack of mildew upon such plants
as may have been exposed to a cold draught.
Among the many remedies for mildew,
sulphur, in one or anotherofi its many forms,
is always found most eficacious, and it is
used in a variety OF ways. The flour Of
sulphur has been used for many years Tor
this trouble by busting it over the widowed
plants. This mode OF using sulphur is un
doubleday good at times, but In my experience
a better way is this: Take Of moderately
strong tobacco-water, one gallon; add to it
four ounces Of sulphur, then boil the mixture
for thirty minutes or a little longer. After it
has cooled add one part of water TO every
three parts OF the mixture, and syringe the
affected plants. In bad cases a second or
even a third application may be necessary on
successive days. This mixture also tends to
keep down green ny, thereby doing double
duty.
Another mixture in great favor with
some growers is sulphate of lime. Agood
recipe for this compound is the following:
Take of fresh lime, five pounds; of sulphur,
five pounds, and Of water. six gallons. This
should be boiled down to VT gallons. After
which it should be allowed to settle, and only
the clear liquid should be used at the rate
Of half a pint of the sulphate to an ordinary
Watering pot Of water. The plants should be
syringed with the latter mixture on two or
three successive afternoons.
sGlphate Of potassium has alsobcen highly
recommended. in the proportion Of half an
ounce OF the sulphide to two gallons Of water,
and applied in the same manner as the pre-
ccdins mixture. The unpleasant odor OF the
potassium solution may sometimes prove to
be an objection, however.
Still another way of using the ordinary
sulphur is by sprinkling or painting it on the
pipes, tho heat from which causes more or
less of the sulphur to pass off into the atmos-
phere in the form of vapor. This latter
method is hardly to be recommended for
general use, unless used with great disere-
tion, the yapor may be strong enough to
bleach the flowers of many OF the pink roses,
such as Catherine Mermet, La France and
Bon Silene, and in this way may do almost
rs much harm as the mildew. As the above
mentioned roses are also affected by tobqcco
smoke, the mixture of tobacco water and
sulphur previously mentioned will be found
particularly useful in lust such cases.

Give children something TO Do.

An important pointin managing children is
to always have ready something for the little
hands to do at those times which come quite
often on rainy and other days when, tired OF
play, they l~istlessly gaze through the window
or wander aimlcssly about, Woodworking what
to do with themselves. Children at SUCH
;imes are a great trial to the busy and often
nervous people OF the house, and are quite
likely to be scolded, though such a course is
50 unwise and unjust that it can lead only to
the worst results in the childis future. Calm
and reproying words, kindly spoken, are nee-
essary with all bright children and are usually
very effective, but words uttered in a sharp,
Seeding tone mnst in most eases work an in
Jury 10 the ehild,s disposition. 1t is all the
more cad because the matter could he so
easily managed by a very little attention Cd
the mothers part.
How often We hear mothers or older sisters
say to some little child who is full of desire
to do right if it ouiy knew how. "Doget some
thing to do; how lazy yon are; / never saw
SUCH a good-for-nothipg child. | am sure l
don't Know what is to become OF you, and a
great Zeal mere OF such talk, which,, alas,
most people have heard too often. The child
at such times is not i'll fault. 1t is the moth
erts duty to see that suitable work is always
ready, and she should require the child to do
q moderate task for which she should not be
afraid 10 give a due measure of praise afterit
is done. Always be careful to see that the
child IS not kept too long at one task as such
o course would be worse than idleness.
II is worthy of note that the work given to
q child aas q great influence in molding the
mind and taste. A child kept always at knit
ting stockings or cutting earpet-rags will be
very practical, perhaps too much so. A wise
mother will have q variety of work, both use
full and ornamental. Some parents think it
useless TO teach boys to sew or Knit. It'll not,
however, for there are many times in a boys
life when such knowledge may be useful. l
have often observed that many college boys
could mend their own clothes while they were
quite up in their classes. l think the subject
should be thoughtiully considered by parents,
seeing to it that time should never hang on
their children's hands for want Of something
10 do.-Mrs. H. H. Turner in American Agri-
cuiturist

Winter Evenings.

Have you made your plans for the coming
winter evenings? Arc You looking forward
te them with bright anticipation? You should
be, says a writer in the Western Rural, if you
are not. Let a course Of reading DO mapped
out, some new books bought and the papers
and magazines carefully selected. Have
something read BY one of the e~amily-some-
thin. that all are Interested ia--and then
tulk over the reading. Have tie big diction-
airy handy and tho atlas. II there is any
musical talent in the family it should be
made to contribute to the family enjoyment.
A good plan is 10 have Il committee APP
pointed who shall arrange a programme for
the evening-reading, music, gamcs, recita-
tions and refreshments.
Suppose a family decide to make a specially
Of travels for the winters reading. Select
two or three good books with great care. Let
the first book De read aloud, giving nn honr
OF the evening 20 tho reading, then half IN
hour to discussion, looking up on The atlas
places mentioned, and hunting up any unfa-
miliar words found in the reading. After
he book is finished give an evening OF more
so the readingo Of papers from each member Of
-ahe family on the ground covered by tho
book. Let one state what lie has learned Of
the people OF the country, another what he
las learned Of its history. another tell Mat
hr can about the rivers or productions. Or
il more than one country has been Travelled
through give to each person a country to
wri up. Give out the subjects before tho
book. is finished 50 that caeil one may be
looking up what he can on his subject outside
of the book being read if lie wishes. Then
take up The next book in the same manner.

Onions and Cabbages.

Il. Martin, Mich, has a large crop Of late
eabbages. He asks if this land, properly pre-
pared, will answer next year for a crop of
onions. The old English gardeners paid
much attention to the rotation Of crops. which
our market gardeners near New York city do
not find it necessary to observe. as their lands
are so highly MANFRED and the crop follow
one another in such variety that a sufficient
rotation is secured. A few general rules are
given by Henderson in "Gardening for Profit
which arc desirable 10 follow when eonve-
rfant: 1, plants Of the same family should
not be planted to Immediately succeed each
Other; 2, plants which occupy the sam
ground for a number of years, as asparagus
and rhuharb, should be followed by annual
plants; 3, crops grown for their heads, as
e.ahbages and eauliflower, should be sue
reeded by crops grown for their roots or
bulbs. Under this last rule IN onion crop is
oac of the best to follow a crop Of c~abbages.
Land for onions should always be properly
prepared.
