Some Useful Hints for the Sick
Room From an Expert.
Miss Stone has attracted much at
tention by her practical lectures. She
entered the Royal Infrmary in Edin
boro, after three years of training, she
remained there as a nurse. Later she
was assistant superintendent in the
Manchester Royal Iufrmary, and as an
organist in choir and mistress of chapel
services. After recovery from severe
illness brought on from overwork, Miss
Stone in 1S8S-S9 entered upon the
lecture work in Yoire Ladies' Council
of Education in Leeds and other towns
In the summer following she came to
Can ida to take charge ola private hos
pital, but preferring lecture work went
to Chicago, then after busy winter
went back to Canada as superintendent
of the Children's Hospital in Ottawa.
In her lecture on foods for invalids she
gave many ways of making things
which would not make sick people
sicker.
Among the useful hints was one for
cooling drink of cream of tartar, juice
of a lemon, a quart of water, sweeten.
ing little, and ice. For barley water
take large white barley, wash, and put
four tablespoons full to a quart of
water, stew for an hour, strain off water
sweeten and add the juice of a lemon.
Her way of making lemonade was
elaborate. Pare off rind from two
lemons. Put the rind into a jug with
two ounces of sugar, and add one pint
of boiling water, then put in the juice
md let cool. IF wished, little soda
water may be added. She insisted that
beef for beef tea should be shredded,
not cut in small pieces, and that it
should not be strained, as much norish-
ment is lost Where milk cannot be
taken alone mix with lime water--one
part lime water to four parts milk; or
with soda water half and half. Light
fish, such as paddock or whiting, are
among the first things a convaiescent
may eat. In speaking of fruits she said
an orange may almost always be given,
only never allow anyone to drink milk
imme diately before or sitter eating it.
Strawberries should be given cautious

How to Propagate Plants From
Cuttings,

In propagating plants from cuttings,
the "saucer" system is usually most
satisfactory. This plan was advocated
by the late Peter Henderson, and it
seldom fails to produce good results if
the propagator observes the instructions
which the originator gave 1t consists
in using clear sand in shallow vessels,
like saucer or soup plate. | presume
it was called the "saucer system" be J.,
cause Mr.. Henderson used the saucers
that flower pots are usually set in, to
contain the sand in which his cuttings
were inserted. After filling them with
sand, sharp and gritty, if possible, water
is applied until the sand is wet all
through. 1t is important that it should
be wet, rather than simply moist, and
care must be taken to keep it as nearly
as possible in that condition; it must
also be kept warm. A sunny location
for the vessel is advisable, as sun heat
seems conducive to an early develop
ment of roots. The cuttings are thrust
into the sand. which should be. pinched
closely about the base OF them. This
is al that is done. In a short time it
will be noticed that new leaves are
starting; and, in mos. instances, roots
will be formed in week.
But do not be in to great hurry to
remove the young plants from the pro-
pagating saucer. Wait until four or
five leaves have developed. When you
are sure that the young Plants have
developed. When you are sure that
the young plants have good roots. pot
them off by themselves; but do not
make the mistake Of putting them in
pots that are too large. At first the
roots will be few and delicate, and
therefore not in condition to make
use of the large amount of nutriment
contained in a considerable quantity of
soil, such as FIVE or six inch pot will
hold. If you put young, freshly rooted
cutting into large pot, it is exactly as
if you were overlooking a baby's
stomach cannot do the work demanded
OF it. and the consequence is that it is
seriously injured, the health Of the
child is impaired, and very often the
result is disease and death. A young
plant should always be put into a small
pot, at first. What florists term "threes"
thumb potts." they axe sometimes
termed-are quite large enough to be-
gin with. They are about three inches
across the top. Of course pot of this
size is so small that you cannot expect
to cultivate much of plant in it; but
it is quite large enough for the early
stages of plant-growth. -Denaorest.

THE SILVER QUESTION
The Lecturer of the National
Grange on the Crime of '73.
THE CHAIN OF GOLD.

1t is one Of the strange departures
from first principles, one never contem-
plated by the fathers in founding our
government, that congress supposed
to represent and carry out the wishes
of the people, should, without ever
consulting the people, or being asked
by them to do so, have destroyed by
legislation the money of the republic.
The excuse in 1878 was: "We did not
know we were doing it, Then why
was not the mistake corrected years
ago ? But what is the excuse now !?
The people after suffering for years
from the consequences Of the shrinking
currency, the scarce money, and there
fore dear money, realizing the very
root of all the evils they endured, elect
ed a congress Of men largely composed
of those, who on the stump in their
districts pledged themselves to support
and vote for the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver, and yet within few
weeks we have had presented to US the
humiliating spectacle of those same
men bowling their necks to the yoke
and permitting themselves to be bound
by chain of gold.
Have We not reason to ask, is this "a
government of the people, for the peo-
pie, by the people?'' 1t is, and it
will be.
'For God is God, and right is right,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty.
To falter would be sim.
Some congressman will indeed have a
hard time in making their talk (and
sometimes written pledges) before cleo
ton agree with their votes against free
coinage of silver after election.

ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED.

Besides believing that demonetizing
silver cut off our supply OF money, and
made what was left scarce and dear,
farmers have learned another lesson.
They now know that the price of wheat
and cotton in Liverpool fixes the price
of our wheat and cotton here. And we
have further learned what fixes the
price in Liverpool. England is not an
agricultural, but manufacturing and
commercial nation. She wants cheap
wheat to feed her workmen, and cheap
cotton for her mills. India, with her
low.priced ryot labor, produces vast
quantities o: wheat and cotton. England
demonetized silver in England, and
fooled our congress into doing the same,
then she demonetized gold in India,
and silver,is there the only money.
Demonetizing our silver made silver
cheap land we produce about one half
the silver of the worldly England takes
our cheap silver (made cheap by de-
monetizing iD and buys India wheat
and cotton, and can thus land both in
Liverpool at least 30 cents on the dol
lar cheaper. If We had free coinage,
as before, our silver would be worth
the dollar, and we would not be, as
now, supplying England with cheap
silver to break down with her india
wheat and cotton the price of two Of
our greatest staple crops.
If we can't have free coinage Of sill
yer, then our government should seal
up the silver mines and stop furnishing
England silver that becomes money as
soon as she uses it In India. Every
hour educates more of our Western
wheat growing and Southern cotton
growing farmers on this point. The
imports of India wheat in England have
increased within a few years from
1000, 900 to 100000 bushels annu-
ally, and the same immense increase in
cotton is also going on and, fixing as
it does the prices in Liverpool, it has
reduced and is continuing to keep down
the price of every bushel of wheat and
bale of cotton raised upon an American
farm.
When they tell you that free coinage
of silver means only to enrich the min
ers, the "silver barons;' tell them it
will do the same for the farmer barons,
wheat barons, cotton barons, corn bar
ons, beef barons. pork barons, and the
producer barons in every part of the
country.
And let it not be forgotten, toilers,
producers, everywhere, that this is the
legislation that has robbed you of the
fruits of your homes, and that the con-
gress you elected to right the wrong
has broken its faith with you. Remem-
Der, it is righteous cause N which we
are now engaged, an irrepressible con-
fiict that must be won or the homes Of
the country are gone forever, for
"a bold veomanry, their country pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied

A Fable For Farmers.

A Sheep was once trying to Craze
when Snow lay thick on the Meadow
and the Northeast Wind was blowing.
Along came an Infant Industry, who
said: 'sPoor, naked Sheep! How cruel
are they who send thee forth unclad in
this bitter Wind! Behold, will protect
thee!" And the Infant Industry took
out his Shears and sheared the Sheep
and of the Wool he made Coat, and
he put it on his own Back, and stood
up proudly against the Blast.
And the Sheep, shivering in his
shorn Hide, chartered feebly: "Dost
thou call this protection?"
But the Infant Industry looked with
Scorn at the Sheep, and said: "Fool
dost thou not see that / stand between
thee and the Wind?" -Puck.
