trees that will flourish in your locality.

Tha Famous Bayeux Tapestry.

The Bayeux Tapestry is q web of can.
vas or linen cloth, upon which is en-
broidered, in wooden threads of various
colors, representation of the invasion

his second, when he went 10 stay, so to

long by twenty inches broad, and is pre-
served in the public library at Bayeux
Tradition asserts that it is the work OF
Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror.
1t is believed that if she did not actually
stitch the whole of it with her own hands
she at least took part in it and directed
the execution of it by her maids, and
afterwards presented it to the Cathedral
of Bayeux as u token of her appreciation
of the assistance which its bishop, Odo,
rendered her husband at the battle OF
Hastings. Some antiquarians contend
that it was not the work of Queen Ma.

Colds and Their Cure.

An old nurse whose remedies are
looked upon as infallible, was asked the
other day how to cure cold, and here
is what she said:
When cold once gets good start,
you cant cure it. It's bound to run its
course for three weeks, like fever.
The time to take cold in hand is when
the first symptoms are felt. The best
means Of treatment depends on the sort
Of cold it is. For cold in the head,
the best thing to do is to steam the head.
That is what the doctors do. Tney use
all sorts of appliances, but n common
tea-kettle will do. When the water boils
move the kettle to the back of the stove,
remove the cover aud hold the face over
the steam. Put a towel around your
neck so as not to wet your garments, and
keep your mouth open. Keep this up as
long rs you can stand it, Do it Mt night
when you are going to Led. If you do
it and then go out, it will be more apt
to aggravate than to cure the cold. If
one could stay in the house aud keep the
rooms ut about the same even tcmpcra-
ture for two or three days, nothing more
might be required.
In addition to stesming the face.
hct bath should be taken aud dose of
quinine. This is one of the few medi-
cines that it is safe to take without a
doctors prescription. How much should
constitute dose depends altogether up
on whether the patient has ever taken it
before or not. Almost any one, though,
can take two two grain pills night aud
morning. 1t must be discontinued,
though, just as soon as you begin to ex-
perience ringing sensation in the ears.
A laxative is also necessary.
A cold on the lungs is even more
serious than cold in the head. If it
begins with soreness and tightness of the
chest, the best thing to do is to rub in,
with the tips Of your fingers, a mixture
of vaseline and turpentine. A hot foot
bath, in which two tablespoonful of
mustard to tho gallon have been dis
solved, and hot drink should be taken.
If there is much pain, apply a ginger
plaster to the chest. If there is dry,
hard cough, steaming the face will re-
lieve it. AS the cough becomes looser,
a cough mixture, made of molas ses,
butter and an onion, all boilel toge ther,
should be taken.-New York Recorder
