Among the tools necessary to a

library of books devoted to his bus

such stock as he keeps, weuld be
useful for reference. He could then
feel that he knew all that the
writer's of those books knew, and
at the present time such books are
written by experts, and he might
also know a thing or two that they
did not know, or at least he could
measure their knowledge with his
common sense and the judgment
gained by experience and see how
much of it would fit his circum
stances. Pretty much all of the best

ConIuring IA Tooth.

Among the negroes the most striking
remedies are to be found. Witness the
combination Of cure and spell, described
under the name of 'eonjurins tooth
in Alabama. Go into n lonely part OF
the woods with one Of the opposite sex,
who is to carry an AK. The bearer OF
the AK chops around the roots of white
oak, cuts off with large iackknife nine
splinters from the roots of the tree, then
] cuts around the roots Of the aching tooth
with the knife, dips each Of the nine
splinters in the blood flowing from the
cuts. and finally buries the splinters at
the foot Of the tree from which they
came. While doing this the operator re
peats something you don't understand
which is a charm.

Proper use of MIX for Children

"Milk is 81 especially adapted for

those cases where it does not seem
to agree naturally,' said the family
doctor. ~ have never yet found Il

drink milk with advantage, and in
case Of wasting diseases it is in
valuable, often saving a patients
life. How important ii is, therefore,
that the right way of administering
milk to those with whom it appar-
emily does not agree should be test
ed while the children are well and
able to bear the experiment. There
are many ways in which it may be
name to assimilate. The simplest
way is to add "a couple of teaspoon
fuls of lime water to each glass of
milk. If this does not succeed,
make the child sip it slowly. eating
bits of raw cracker meanwhile.
This | have found an excellent way.
Another is to heat the milk very
hot-not boil it, as that gives a
disaorceable taste. This is the
best way yet for delicate people,
and although a child may not like
it at first they will soon grow fond
of it. Bride them to take it if
necessary. but da not force them.
'If all other methods fail, cooked
milk, in the shape of gruels, etc.,
may be resorted to but the plain
milk is the best. OF course there
are digesters, such as preparations
of pepsin and other medicines that
may be given afterwards to assist
digestion; but 1 always prefer to
make the stomach do its own work,
if possible. 1t is very apt to turn
lazy if assisted too much, and to
refuse to act independently. IN.

ternately, sometimes only moisten-
ing their mouths as rational
being would while eating his din
ncr of such dry food. A broken

When putting the bread in 1.-THE

quick. Care must be taken with
the fire, to keep the heat steady, al
lowing it to gradually die away
towards the last of the baking; and

necessary for them.
Rings made of the whites of hard
boiled eggs, laid around the dish

Undressed kid gloves may be
cleansed by washing them in naph-
tina. Wash on the hands and hang
them out in the air to dry.
Very good dishcloths may be

They should be washed and boiled
weekly. Old dishtowels, after they
have become linty, RAY be doubled
over, slightly quilted with the
