doesn't just agree with me either. 1t
makes my head feel like it would
burst. 1t creates buzzing sound in
my ears. 1t impairs my digestion.
It makes me feel dizzy. 1t gives me
nausea; and a physician once told
me that quinine sometimes causes par
,lysis. Nolyou needn't get it. Iwon't
take quinine. What is thatl You
ay your mother takes Smiths Tonic
syrup when she has malaria, and that,

"lt may be, he adds, that the poison
is wholly absent from fish under most

that fish caught in tho warm waters OF
the tropics arc moro dangerous than
those from northern seas, and that all
kinds OF preserved or saltod fish. or fish
in a state OF partial decomposition, are
more risky than that which is fresh and
sound. Lastly, it is possible that raw

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Fail not to take full respirations.
Deep breathing is one of life's strong
holds, and pure air is free.
Southern Chicken Stew.--Cut up
two young chickens, put in saucepan,
with boiling water to cover well, and let
simmer slowly; when nearly done slice
two or three raw potatoes, and put in,
let cook until done, and thicken the
stew with u tablespoonful OF flour and
butter, mix together, season with pep
per and salt.-N. Y. Observer.
French Calse.-Break two eggs in a
cup, pour in one large tablespoon of
melted butter and fill the cup with
sweet milk; have ready one and one
half cups of flour with one teaspoon OF
baking-powder sifted together; add ono
cup OF sugar and flavor with lemon; stir
all together and bake Immediately in
hot oven.-llomc and Farm.
Tho tiine of sleep is OF no particular
consequence, and is largely mattor of
habit. Neither is there any particular
hygientic virtue in early rising. Tho
familiar old couplet Is only true in
very general sense, and there are n great
many cases where man would be health
ior, wealthier and wiser IL he delayed
the time OF his rising TO an hour con.
sistant with his own feelings and in
clinations. Health.
Feather Cream.--One pint of whip
ped cream, whites OF three eggs beaten
to stiff frotb, ono cupful OF powdered
sugar, one teaspooLful Of vanilla, any
flavoring desired; prepare this dish only
a short time before 1t will be required
for the table; whip the cream, frothed
eggs, sugar and flavoring in bowl SUR
rounded by cracked ice, then heap 1t in
a glass dish; keep on ice until sent to
the table; serve with sponge cake. Dos

"A cure for squirting, which is not
so unsightly as the method at present
generally adopted-black goggles with
q hole In the center-is highly recon-
mendcd. Let the person afflicted take
any pair OF spoctacles that suit his sight,
or even plain glass; and in tho center of
one lens let him glue q small blue or
black wafer about the size OF ten-cent
piece. The result is that the double
image vanishes, and the eye, without
fatigue or heat. is forced to look
straight, and with time and patience is
cured.

good dish to utilize the small scraps re-
of boiled or baked ham that can
not be nicely sliced. Chop fine one pint OF
