Care of Firs.-I have been told
that small piece of linen, moistened
with turpentine, and placed in drawers
and wardrobes several times during
the year, will prevent damage from
moths. Furs should be we'll beaten
and brushed thoroughly before packing
away in the spring, then sew them
securely in linen bag or pillow-case. and
hang in dark closet. This is all that
is necessary, though many people use
taxpayer, tobacco, pepper, and many
other similar things, said to prevent
moths from destroying furs.
To Keep Flo,cers Fresh.-After
flowers have stood in water two or
three days they will commence to lose
their freshness. To preserve them
longer put a. little salt in the water
and every day clip about half an inch
from the end of the stems.
Care for HoGrseness.- q
small linen or cotton cloth with lard
and over it CRATE some nutmeg. Cover
this with very thin piece of muslin
and apply to the chest, letting it come
high around the t:roat. Make fresh
one when necessary, and keep it on
daytimes as we'll as nights if possible.
once asked young physician what
was good for hoarseness. He replied:
Drink three pints Of cold water Just
before retiring and keep well covered
up SO as to prevent catching more
cold" This seemed very simple
remedy, so determined to try it, and
must say the cure proved worse than
the disease Furthermore, I can not
vouch for its being -sure cure" as I
was. unable to drink the required
amount of water Still, it is, as said
before, a simple remedy. and one that
is within the reach of all.Jeffe For

INGRowING NAILS.
For that very painful affection, in
growing toenail, says the Medical
Journal, the simplest measure Of re-
lief which has been advocated Is the
application of tannin. One who has
had many years experience with it uses
a concentrated solution ian ounce OF
perfectly fresh fannie acid dissolved
with six drachms of pure water, with
gentle heat and has The soft parts
around the nail painted twice day.
Two cases recently had no pain or
lameness after the first application, and
went about their work Immediately,
which they could not do before. After
