"But," cry out the champions Of alcohol,
s'if II is neither a food nor a heat-giver, at
least 1t aids in the digestion of food" Some
people are never tired of telling their neigh-
bors that they find great benefit from
a glass of beer or wine taken at
dinner. It would be more correct for
such people to say that they find great
benefit from their dinner, for II is the dinner
that strengthens them, and not the beer or
wine. As a matter OF fact alcohol in any
form actually retards the digestion of food I;
and 1t is unfortunately an everyday occur
renee for drunkards to vomit half digested
or wholly undigested food hours and even
days after partaking of it.
The peculiar case of Alexis st. Martin. who
was wounded during the American war, has
afforded splendid opportunity Of studying
this important point. The injury which the
ball inflicted on him was such that hole
was made in the stomach, which remained
open and was used ''as door by which to
introduce substance into the stomach, and
window through which to look in and ex-
anime effects" DR.. Beaumont. the army
surgeon at the time, brought st. Martin 10
his own home and kept him there for three
years, during which series of most careful
experiments were made which have proved
OF inestimable value ever since Now, among
the substances introduced into the stomach
of st. Martin was alconol, the effects ofwhich
DR.. Beaumont carefully watched and noted
down. IL was found that when this was
given to the patient the stomach became
covered with inflamatory and ulcerous
patches the secretions were vitiated and the
gastric juice diminished in quantity, and of
Gn unnatural viscidity and yet, notwith-
standing this, he described himself as per-
fectly well, and complained Of nothing. Evil
IDENTIFY, therefore, from the testimony of st.
Martin, great harm may result from the in
PRODUCTION of alcohol into the system, al
though the person who indulges, even in
small quantities, may be altogether uncon-
scious of its injurious results.
An eminent Edinburgh physician, DIR.
Figg, tells us that he has been frequently
called in to prescribe for patients after their
drunken debauoh of Saturday night, and
that "mustard emetc has always invaria-
bly, brought up the substance of the dinner
Of the previous day, with little or no change,
save that produced by mastication. 1t is
scarcely necessary to remark that had these
persons not been drinking, all traces of their
dinner would have disappeared from their
stomach in the course of few hours.
Here is one OF the examples he produces TO
prove that alcohol does not aid in the diges-
tion OF food "An incorporate, irreclaim-
able woman partook of little barley broth
for her midday meal, previous to joining u
festive party in the house of sailors wife.
Having an unlimited supply OF spirits she
drank herself to sleep at 4 a. m, and was
found dead at 6. On opening the body the
barley broth was found intact, the grains and
vegetables unreduced."

GETTING TREES FROM Tur WOODS.

Laws against obtaining money under
false pretences might well be enforced
at this season of the year against those
who dig in the woods small or large
trees and sell them to unwary village
or city residents for transplanting to
decorate the streets. The trees may
be true to name, but even the most un-
skilled forester ought to know by look
ing at them that there is very small
chance of any of them making useful
growth. A long pole, the size and
length suitable for hop pole, having
at its lower end q few pieces OF roots
the size of ones thumb or finger, gives
little promise of making fine tree.
1t may be done by carefully leaving
three or four buds, not sprigs, at the
top where the future branches are to
be. Usually, however, the top is either
left only slightly trimmed, or else
every bud is cut clean out, and the
tree takes its chances of nature push.

low the cuts. This is an exhaustive
process, and the buds do not make
much growth the first season. At the
best, forest tree thus managed is fal
inferior to the nursery trees that have
had the advantages of frequent culti-

HOUSEHOLD WASHING.

A few hints in regard to the wash
ing of household articles may not be
unacceptable. OF course, the first
thing to be considered is the quality
of the water; this should be always
clear rain water when it can be OBJ
tanned. If that is not possible, then
other means must be taken. Some
times soft water can be obtained, but
is muddy and therefore not suitable.
It can be cleansed by putting into a
barrelful tablespoonful of powdered
alum. Let it stand a few hours and it
will be clear enough for use. A very
simple way to make hard water soft is
to put to every nine quarts of hard
water one ounce of quick lime, and let
it stand until it becomes clear. Then
pour it off into barrel, leaving the
dregs behind Most housekeepers,
however, have way of their own.
There are various ways of doing
washing in an easy manner. One that
has been lately recommended is by
the use of what is called water-glass.

about it, but it is very highly recon.
mended. In using this the clothes
should be soaked over night in solu-
tion of one part of water-glass to
twenty-five parts of moderately hot
water. In the morning add more hot
water, and stir the clothes thoroughly
with stick then drain off the liquid.
The clothes will be found to be
cleansed, but if it should chance that

they disappear.
White fiannels should be washed on
a clear day in summeT, or in a warm
room in winter, but they should never
be dried where there is any great heat,
either natural or artificial. Make
hot suds with white soap and soft wa.

level teaspoonful of powdered borax,
and for the second washing use su6s

then rub all the spots with the hands
Squeeze the water out and do not

the second tub of suds, stirring and
shaking them in the same way until
cold enough to permit the squeezing
of them out of hot water. Lay each
piece in soft cotton cloths and wrap it
up to absorb the water; then hang it
up to dry. White blankets should be
washed in this way; then hang them
up in some shady place to dry as
quickly as possible, pinning one edge
to the line and carefully straighten.

HANDLING OF COLTS.

There are many ways of handling
colts at weaving time. Some of these
methods are good and some are bad,
but the one that is most common, and
at the same time the worst of all, is to
remove it to some back pasture, where
it can run with other stock and be out
of sight of its dam. There it is de-
prived of its prepared food, expected
TO thrive on grass, fight flies in the
sun and get water with the other stock
at the spring or trough. The result is
that the colt goes into winter quarters
thin in flesh, stunted in growth, with
dropped ears and rough coat of hair.
1t holds its own through the winter if
extra feed and care be given it, but
good, thrifty growth is out of the ques-
tion. New York World.

COOL cHuRNrNe IN THE MORNING.

On hot days, it is good plan to
have the churning ready the first thing
in the morning. Set one of the men
or boys at it before breakfast, and see
how much better it is to get it out of
the way before the sun gets very high,
Always throw a handful, or more, OF
salt into the churn when the cream be-
gins to granulate. II assists in the
separation of the butter, and the but
termilk will draw off much more free
ly. Keep the temperature at sixty
degrees, using ice in small Jumps TO
accomplish the desired result. Neg
lect TO do this, will surely spoil the
butter. American Agriculturist.
