PoUETIcEs FJR THE SICK ROOM.

o Po:lltices, or :cataplasm, are recon-
mendcd o. account of the warmth and
moisture trey contain and convey, and
are applied when the skin, or the under
lying structure, is indlmed. They miti-
gate pain by relaxing tension and pro-
noting perspiratio1. Some of the best
known po,llticcs are made as follows:
Linseed Meal Poultice-Boiling water
should be poured into heated bowl, and
into this the meal quickly sprinkled with
one hand, while the moisture is constant
ly stirred by means of knife or spatuia
until thin, smooth dough is formed. Il
the water be ADDED to the meal little
knots aad chunks or dough are apt to
collect, hence we recommend making
this plaster as you do cornmeal ,,mush. TIE
dough should be quickly spread on a
warmed linen rag already torn or cut to
the required shape, or put into a bag and
applied. Linseed meal retains heat and
moisture for long time, but is liable to
irritate delicate or infamed skin.
Bread Poultice-Put slices Of bread
into basin, pour over them boiling
water, and place by the fire for a few
minutes, when the water should be
poured off, replaced by fresh boiling
water, and this a:5ain poured off: and the
bread then pressed, beaten with fork,
aud made into poultice. Bread poul.
tices are valuable for their bland, non,
irritating properties.
Charcoal Poultice charcoal uni
formiy with bread for poultice, and
just before application sprinkle the sur
face with a layer Of charcoal. This sort
of poultice corrects offensive smells from
foul sores, and favors a healthier action
Carrot Poultice Boil carrots until
quite" soft, mash them with fork aud
apply in the ordinary way. This poul.
tice will purify wound.
To retain heat for long time poultices
should bs covered with oiled silk, Or
layer of cotton wool. Either one of these
methods is preferable to very thick
Doultiee, which from its weight might
cause inconvenience or pain.-Detro

WAY TO WASH FLANNELs.

The average washerwoman does not
seem to know that every time she rub:
ncr woolens on the wash.board she Is
destroying their softness and pliability.
Flannels should be squeezed through
strong, warm suds, in which there is a
little ammonis, and not rubbed at all.
The rinse water should also be warm. In
washing Shetland shawl the same care
should be exercised as in doing up fine
laccs. Dip your shawl in warm lathet
Of boiled soap, and gently squeeze
through your hands. When clean,
plunge into clear, warm water, and when
rinsed squeeze once more, and pin on a
sheet to dry. If the washing has been
properly done, the shawl will look like

A Great Man Of the World,

At the Geographical Congress in Berne
a year ago Professor Penck proposed the
publication of map Of the entire world
on /. uniform scale of one in l 1000, O00,
or about sixteen statute miles to the inch,
the various Nations to take part in the
production of the map. The proposition
WAS favorabiy entertained, and a CON-
mittee Was appointed to take steps for its
realization. The geographers of various
Nations, on the whole, have received the
idea with favor, and there seems to be no
doubt that the map will be produced.
Each sheet Of the map up to sixty de-
grees North latitude will embrace five
degrees in cach direction. The more
Northern sheets will embrace ten degrees
of longitude. The representation of the
whole earth, Including the sea, will re-
Quire 93j Of these sheets, while the land
alone may be shown on 100 sheets. It is
proposed to give great attentl to phys
ical and political features. DR.. R.ven-
stein, the English map maker, says the
rivers will be in blue and the hills in
brown. Contour lines will be drawn at
CltFdltti> VI IVO, wv, cVo al 1-VO
metres, and the areas enclosed by them
are to be tinted. It is expected that
sheets which deal with countries already
geographically surveyed will be en-
graved on copper. The remaining sheets
will probably be Autographed. The
Greenwich meridian will be accepted for
the entire map, and 'all:s attitudes are to
be marked N metres. 2The official spell
ing Of all countries using the Latin
alphabet is to be retained. Other alpha
bets are to be transliterated in accord
auce with system to be agreed upon,
while names in unwritten languages will
be spelled Theoretically. It is estimated
that tho cost of an edition of 1000
copies showing only the land surface, will
be S957, 100, aud as the sale of the first
edition attwo shil!in5sa sheet would pro.
duce only 547S,5 95, the deficit would
have to be made up by the Governments
concerned or by liberal private patrons.

TO PREVENT CANDIES BECOMING STICKY.

TO PREVENT CANDIES BECOMING STICKY.
All boiled candies are tablet to become
sticky if exposed to the action of the air.
They should be kept in closely covered
jars or boxes. The best plan, however,
that we know OF topreveat ctndies, SUCH
as tafiies, peanut BAR. walnut bar, clear
candies, nougat, aud all similar goods,
from becoming STICKY, which is caused
oby their absorbing the moisture of the
atmosphere, is that which we have al
ways adopei when we desired to keep
suca articles for any length of time, and
one that has always proved satisfactory:
When the candies are first made, and
cut into bars or pieces, varnish or coves
eaca bar or article By, means of a soft
brush with! thin alcoholic solution OF
gum. benzoin.' Varnish them all over
with this preparation and let them dry;
this forms thin, .impervious skin Oh
them. which efectually prevents the air
fran acting on the candies, besides it
gives them a fine gloss. Benzoin has
fragrant. olor with very little taste, and
is easily pulverizsd; it is stimufant and
cSpectorant, and is sometimes used in
pec:ofal affections. This varish may be
onade IN advance aud kept IN closely
covered jar or bottle, for use atauy time.
1t Is also an excellent varnish for gloss.

Curious Material Used Ey Florists.

Large quantities of raphia are imported

The Cherokee Strip.

I have just crossed the Cherokee Strip,
writes correspondent, and was sur
prlsed to find that it took the train over
three hours to cross it. The general
impression as to the Strip is that it is a
narrow neck of land only few miles
across, reserved as a highway or outlet
for the Cherokees. As matter of fact,
the Strip is eighty miles across, and is
larger in area than some of the States of
the Union. The eighty miles is covered
with the best quality of fine blue grass
and it is doubtful whether in the best
parts of Texas it is to be Duplicated

CLEANING COPPER AND BRASS UrENsGl

CLEANING COPPER AND BRASS UTENSILS
Copper or brass articles may be thor
oughly cleaned and made to look as
bright as new by washing them with a
solution of salt and vinegar. Use as
much salt as the vinegar will dissolve,
and apply with wooden rag, rubbing
vigorously, then polish with pulverized
chalk, and the article will look like new,
with the expenditure of little labor, as
the acid of the vinegar is very efficient
in removing stains from either brass or

For Assessor.

sion wish to call the attention of the
voters of Perrysburg township, and

to the candidate for Assessor who was
nominated ut the caucus held on Satur-
day last, viz: Joe L. Baird.
No more worthy man could have
been placed upon the ticket. 1t is
unnecessary 10 introduce him, as he
has won for himself II worthy and
enviable Eame among the people us
being young man of ability and true,
manly courage, and although deprived
by physical disabilities from being able
to engage in all pursuits which are
opened to the rising generation. and
being also unable to accept the benefits
OF education such us the wealthy are
permitted to enjoy, he has found it
necessary to work his way through
College and by his own endeavors to
fl himself to engage in professional
career.
Such young men are deserving of the
votes of the people irrespective of party,
and vote in favor of Joe L. Baird for
assessor is II vote to enable u worthy,
competent and Industrious young man
IN gaining an education and fitting
himself for future usefulness not only
for himself but for the country.
do not desire 10 cast any reflections
upon the opposing candidate but only
desire to call attentian to u few, per-
haps unthought-of reasons, why Joe
L. Baird is entitled to an election.
