HOME tlINTs AND HELPS.

Tho hearts of calves and full an- imals are good, either roasted or praised. Boiled long time and then chopped fine, warmed in little hot water and well seasoned with butter, pepper and salt, they make an excellent hash.<
 Baked Mush.-Boil water; salt, and thicken with meal the same as for boiled mush (making as thick as will pour nicely); pour into a greased bake pan sprinb,ed with meal, and bake in a very hot oven til nice brown; sticking it with a fork will keep it from blis- tering.
 Gold Meat Croquettes. To one pound of mashed potatoes add 8 spoon ful of butter, two beaten yelks of eggs, little salt and pepper, with table spoonful of chopped onions. Mix with one pound of cold, chopped meat. Shape in little, oval balls and fry brown. Serve with sliced green tomato pickles.
 -Marmalade Sandwiches. The only particular thing about these is the proper cutting of the bread, which is too often overlooked. Cut the slices 8 little less than quarter of an inch thick, trim of all crust, and spread over each a thin layer of the marmaiade; press two together, and divide each sandwich in quarters; arrange them neatly on napkin and serve after the curry of venison.
 Soft Gingertread.-O cup best New Orleans molasses, one egg, three tablespoonfuls melted butter, three tablespoonfuls sour milk, one teaspoon soda, one and one-half cups four, one teaspoonful ginger. Mix the soda with the sour milk, add to the molasses, stir we'll, add the ginger, part of the four, then the butter. Beat well, add the beaten egg and the rest of the flour, then add one cup bluebe well f1oured. Western Rural.

SYMPTOMS OF ECZEMA.
4 DisagreeabIe Disease Due to Constitu-

4 DisagreeaBIe Disease Due to Constitu-
 tiOnal Debility.
 Eczema-accent on the first syllable is one of the many eruptive diseases of the skin. The blood-vesseIs of the parts affected are in a state of conges- tion, accompanied by itching, smarting and exudation of serum, or watory DOT tion of tho blood. The disease varies greatly in severity and extent, as well as in it's course and character.
 Its simplest form is Q mere redness, perhaps on the eyclids or behind the ears, or rear the joints. Some times there are pimplcs, either on affected spots or around them, or more or less dinused over the body. 2
 Sometimes Yesicles-water-bl r-bladders- arc formed by the exudation of serum beneath the skin, the special seat being the back of the hand or tho front and sides of the fingers. In few days the serum may Do absorbed, the swelling subsidies, the cuticle dries up and comes of, and the skin either returns to it's normal condition or the cuticle is thrown off in scales.
 In another variety there is intense redness, profuse exudation and the formation of thick crust, through 1s- sures in which q mucous pus exudes.
 The final poricd of eczema, when chronic, may be characterized by Q com ing of of the cuticlo in thin, fine scales, or by tendency of the skin to chap and crack; sometimes the mere stretching of tho fingers will cause it to break.
 In somo cases the skin becomes as hard and tough as leather, with an in- clination to itch and throw off dry and scaly scurf; more rarely it is rough like an old wart, in which case the itching is generally very severe.
 As rule, the eczema occurs in limited patches, but occasionally it spreads over a large part of the trunk or limb. There is hardly any part of the body which it may not attack. Itis not con tagious.
 The disease may result from condi- ton of the body-from constitutional debility, or temporary derangemeHt of the nervous or digestive organs, or even from unsuitable or insufficient food-or it may have an external exciting cause cold or heat in excess, insufficient clothing, or garments that irritate the skin.
 The treatment must be first directed against that which causes the condition of which the eczema is only a symptom. At the same time local treatment will be necessary. But no general direction can be given suited to so variable disease. A skilled physician should have charge of the ase.-Youth's Con- panion.

Children Enjoy Discipline Which Is
 Firm, Just and Constant.
 Any one who has an opportunity to hear children talk freely about their teachers can learn why it is that some very good people do not succeed in win ming the esteem of people. Children tell us they like a teacher who knows how to make them mind They enjoy being under disci piine which is firm, just and constant, which respects neither age, clothes nor names, but holds the whole school under the same, just and reasonable law. A teacher falls at once in their estimation if he is seen. to be more lenient to the son of a lead. ing family or of committee man"l than to the child of poor, laborious. widow. ,-
 There is a particular reason why children like to be under a true ruler. He never scolds.
 He sometimes punishes, and boys do not mind that when they know they de- serve it, but scolding they all detest. It exasperates without mending them. Often the bitter words of an irresolute 
 mind of thoughtful child long after the teacher has forgotten them, and sometimes when the sod covers his dust. There are weak teachers who scold six hours day, and are never obeyed. Their pupils hate them.
 There are few thing which jure teacher so much in the estimation of class as defective knowledge of the sub iect under consideration. Obvious as this is, there are teachers who are not sufficiently alive to it. and show igno- rance which very slight preparation would have removed.
 Children are at once attracted and conciliated by unusual proficiency on the part of their teacher, and are often heard to boast of it and extol it. They are abundantly ready to be hero worshipers, if their teacher will but be only fractional part of hero.
 One more thing is requisite. If, in addition to an easy mastery of the school and a sufficient mastery of branches taught, the teacher takes a friendly interest in his pupils welfare, he can hardly fail to win their esteem and affection. Not that children can ever love teacher as a teacher often loves them; that is impossible. Never theless, there are schools where the teacher, and even numerous corps of teachers, are beloved by controlling majority of the pupils.
 When that is the case, the school pre- sents as fair scene of benefcent ac- tivity as the world furnishes. There is nothing on earth more pleasing, more joyous, more interesting than good school about midway in the school year, when the benign influence of the teach CT has had time to subdue the willful and kindle the indolent, and all are working in harmony and diligence for the noblest ends.
 The best of it is that the influence of such a school lasts forever. If its in- mates preserve their faculties to ninety yea:s they will still vividly cemem- Der it.-Youth's s Companion.

su sPENsloN BRIDGES.
How an Edinburgh Professor Illustrated A Their Utility.

 How an Edinburgh Professor Illustrated A Their Utility.
 For centuries suspension bridges have been built, Sometimes of chains, some- times of ropes, these latter often made from the bark of trees; although iron suspensions are of comparatively recent times. One of the highest en- gineering authorities of the United States thus briefly states that 'the economy of metal in a suspension bridge, under tho average circumstances of it's attainable depth, is from one-fourth to one-half of that in tubular CT simple girder-bridge of equal strength and rigidity." The simple rope bridges in Peru and in Central Asia are merely two ropes hung side by side across some space sought to be spanned; then kind of platform is laid on these ropes, and the inverted bow or dip is such that man or beast may cross. The suspen- sion bridge, as we have it, is composed of two or more chains, and from those chains level platform is hung by sus- pension rods; the chains are generally secured to either side of the chasm crossed by what is known as anchor age, by IGssing over piers. The chains used to construct these suspension bridges are wire ropes or chains com posed of links. As already intimated, the cost of the suspension bridge is much less than that Of many other kinds of large bridges, because of inc amount of material required. Tho lato Prof Jenkin, of the University Cf Edinburgh, thus clearly illustrates this: A man might cross 6 chasm of 100 feet hanging to steel wire o.21 inches in diameter dipping 10 feet; the weight of the wire would be 12.75 pounds. A wrought-iron beam of rectangular section, three times as deep as it is broad, would have to be about 27 inches deep and inches bread to carry him and it's own weight It would weigh S7, 300 pounds" Trains do not as rule cross suspension bridges at a high rate of speed, and unless other wise strongly fastened so as to over come lateral and other oscillation, the dangers are considerable. Engineers have, however, so thoroughly studied these and all other matters ii colnec- tion with bridge-bullding that these great structures are now made with 3 view of meeting all such strains and contingencies. Some of the best-hnown suspension bridges in the word have been the Brooklyn bridge, the bli3ge over the Ohio at Cincinnati, the sas- pension at Niagara, the chain suspan- sion at Menai Strait, at Frieaurr, Switzerland, and at Pesth over tle D@l- ube.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Adrcnture in 2 Forest.

On Little river, near Csceola, La., Robert Warren, Q lumberman, lost his way in the woods. He thought he heard g human voice, and hallooed to attract attention. His shout was answered, and the cries came nearer and nearer. Then he discovered that it was pan ther that had been yelling. Being un- armed he climbed a tree and remained in it for an hour The panther finally left When he thought the coast was clear Warren descended and pursued his way, and when he again hallooed to attract attention the panther returned, this time accompanied by his mate. Up a sapling he again went, armed with a stout club and determined to sell his life as dearly &s possible, In the mean time the boys in camp had become alarmed at his absence and started out to search for him. They had reached a point within a quarter of a mile of where he was treed when they caught the sound of his call for help, and, as an answering signal, fired of gun, which had the effect of frightening off the G~,,1i1ago Eeral3. -

WHAT THE WORK on TIE CIT HALL Is FOR.

A correspondent complains that the work OF "N
moving the brown cut stone in the rear wall OF the
City Hall" is being done by "a lot OF wonldbc
mechanics, who are d" reducing and spelling the build
ing stone which were set shapely there over eighty
years ago"
Commissioner Groy said yesterday that to the
unpractiscd eve the brownstOnc might seem 10 be in
danger Of being spoiled but II was only being
roughcut" that the concrete which TO be moulded
upon the wall of the City Hal In Imitation OF The
marble on the three other sides would adhere to the
stone The work became necessary because the brown
stone had begun to chip off, some Of 1t falling In so
large pieces TO make 1t dangerous for passcrs-by
The Commissioner was Obliged TO decide what remedy
70 apply and finally hit upon the plan OF covering The
rear with and making all the sides look alike
When completed 1t viii be whitcncd to represent
marble This covering Is warranted 10 outlast the
present generation and is likely, the Commissioner
believes 10 be firm hard and intact for eighty years
10 come. The work is ~ the hands Of sompetent,
contractor Mr.. Gilroy added "wh0 has given gooh
aud SUFFICIENT bonds for completing II in accordance
with the contract The change Will greatly improve
the appearance Of the City Hail. and there Is not the
slightest danger Of spelling the stone.'

TYHoTOXICON CAUSED THE TROUBLE.

PEOPLE SICK

Henry Meyer, accused Of poisoning the ice-ccam
of Brinkman. the confectoner of No. 1,274 Second

Mcmahon in the YorkvlIle Police Court. Dr. Martini
of the Health Department, said that his analyses of
twenty samples OF the poisonous ice-crcam showed
pretty concusively that tyrotoxlcon had caused the
sickness The analyses had shown only slight traces
of copper in the not enough to sickness
and no proof that verdgrs present had been
obtained, while an examination of the samples at the

and their symptoms when they We're i'll also showed
that tyrotoxicon, and not mineral poison, the
cause of the sickness. DR.. Martin referred to book
