Curious Orchids.

The Stanhopea represent singular
family of orchids growing in tropical
America from Brazil to Mexico. The
flowers are large, and many are singu-
larly marked. Not few are quite sweet
scented. The flowers hang down in di-
rectly opposite direction to the leaves.
They are in their native habitat depend

In garden cultivation need growing in a
fat basket or in such manner that the
flower spike can pass through the moss,
and the flower can hang below the sup
port. This method of growing is natural
to some other orchids, but in none is it's
conspicuous as in the Stanhopea. These
slat baskets are filed in with spagnum
noss and pieces of rough peat, and on
no account should the Stanhopea be pot
ted as other plants in soil or even in
flower pots, as the flower spike has
downward growth only.

HOT MILK CURE,

Those who are afflicted with skin
eruptions, especially with the red
blotc hes and hard little Jumps known
as eczemous acne, will find relief by
persevering in the following simple
and inexpensive cure.
Do not bathe the affected parts in
water; this aggravates cutaneous affec-
tions.
Each night, before retiring, heat
about pint of fresh, sweet milk Do
not let it boil, but let it rise just to
the boiling point. Boiled milk loses
its healing virtue. Then, with an old
linen handkerchief, so the hot fluid
generously ON the affected parts. Do
not wipe the milk off, but let it dry
into the skin.
In the morning bathe the skin in
little hot milk or in dilution of lis
terine in hot water. In the proportion
Of two parts of water to one of lister
inc. Eat no constipating food Avoid
especially new fine bread, sugar. pastry
and all starchy foods. Fruit lettuce
and radishes may be eaten with good
result Be careful not to worry.
Worriment is often the direct cause of
eczema. Exercise actively in the open
air, but do not heat the system
If you will follow these few simple
rules, and will persist in the applica- f
ton of the hot milk each night before
retiring the red spots will soon fade
away, and the hard Jumps will grad
ually soften and disappear
Sometimes the disease is obstinate
and will not yield at once to the treat
ment. But persevere sturdily under all
discouragement-you will in the end
be rewarded by a complete cure. Gases
of acute eczema that for years have
baffied the most patient efforts of skin
specialists, have yielded to this treat
ment within six months. Hot milk is
beneficial also to a healthy skin. IT
preserves it's softness and clearness, and
seems to act as an invigorating tonic.
