Ivy within Doors.

The Germans cultivate ivy in their
houses with great success. Placing a
root in large pot by one side of the
window, they will train it as it grows
until It forms pretty frame for the en-
tire window. The English ivy growing
over the walls Of a building, instead of
promoting dampness, as most persons
would suppose, is said to be remedy
for il, and it is mentioned as fact that
in room where dampness had prevailed
for length of time the affected parts In
side had become dry when ivy had grown
up to cover the opposite exterior side.
The close, ovcrhanging pendant leaves
prevent the rain or moisture from pene-
trating the wall. In order to train ivy
over q door buy a couple of brackets,
such as lamps for the burning Of kero.
sene arc sometimes placed on, and screw
them to the sides of the door. Put
in each plant of English ivy, the
longer the better, then train the plants
over the top against the sides--auy way
your fancy dictates. The common un.
glazed pots will answer every purpose
by placing in each two or three sprays o.
Coliseum ivy. In months time nc
vestige Of the pot itself can be discerned
through their thick screens. New

HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS.

A slight cut or abrasion on the hand,
or a slight burn, may become a serious
matter if it is totally neglected. Where
the skin is torn or cut it is desirable in
the first place that the wound should
bleed freely. Cases of lockjaw are oil
rare occurrence where this is the case,
and very slight wound of the hand OF
foot has been known to produce this
dangerous malady where bleeding did moi
follow.
One Of the greatest dangers lies in 0
wound of Kitchen knife, which may
have held impure matter, and even from
tho scratch of pin, and fatal cases of
blood poisoning have frequently resulted
from so simple a cause. Absolute clean
illness, therefore, is necessary in the
treatment of such wound. After the
wound has bled little it should be
washed with perfectly clean water.
That which has been boiled is best for
the purpose. and there is no harm in us
ing a little carbolic acid in the proper
ton of drop or two to a quart OF
water.
Do not attempt to stanch bleeding by
| the use of cobwebs, which are naturally
dirty and full of impure germs, but use
| a little lint and clean cotton or linen
cloth. These should be always Kept in
the houses for use in case OF such acct
dents. A trustworthy druggist will
always supply some preparation Of car
bolic acid, properly weakened, for house
hold use. Even household ammonia,
though it is painful at first, is recon-
mended as mild way of cauterizing a
| simple wound. A thick paste Of equal
parts of common baking soda and flour,
wet to paste with cold water, is the
best remedy for burn.
It is better than lime water, because
| lime water is liable to become incrusted,
while the paste of soda and flour Is cool
ing to the surface and can easily be re-
moved. The object Of treating a burn
| is to cover the extremities of the nerves
which have been injured and give them
opportunity to heal. While such paste
is being prepared cover the wound fol
the moment with common flour and wrap
il up in clean cotton.
A simple healing plaster, which may
be prepared in the household, calls foI
half a pound of rosin, an ounce each oil
mutton tallow, camphor gum and bees
wax, half an ounce each of British oil,
cedar oil, gum myrrh and linseed oil
Melt the rosin, mutton tallow, campbol
gum, beeswax and gum myrrh together
and add the oils. This plaster should
be spread on cotton when needed and ap
piled to the wound.-[New York Tri

Mystery OF Valuable Gem Out From
a Mans Arm by Physician.

a Mans Arm by a Physician.
sLike the rain that favors none, but
falls on the unjust as well as the just
physician has to minister to the vicious
as conscientiously as to the righteous
and to keep as scrupulously Tor the for
mer such secrets as he learns In his at
tendance on them" remarked a doctor
to Philadelphia Times reporter. IL
was a much younger man than am
now, when one night my bell rang after
/ had retired. Igot up and let In man
who seemed TO shrink from observation
until my door was fairly closed on him.
Then he took off his coat and rolled mp
the sleeve of his shirt, exposing the
whole OF his left arm. He then directed
nv attention to a hard knot on the
under side of the arm.
81 felt this and was at loss TO
diagnose its character, but the man, who
seemed to be amused at my perplexity,
finally said: Il might as we'll tell you,
doctor, what il is. 1t is that that has
brought me to you tonight. That is an
artificial substance inserted in the fiesh
of my arm by myself. And want you
to cut IL out
81 stared and at first refused, when he
said III you don't do it the doctor next
door will, and from what I've heard OF
you think you'll act the straightest with
me about this matter
s'I was not Influenced by his threat to
go to some other physician nor by his
compliment, but was curious myself to
know what that imbedded substance could
be. So got out my knife and asked
| the fellow If he would take ether or
| chloroform, but he declared that ne had
opened the arm to insert the thing with
out not only an an@sthetic but any in
strument except dull dinner knife. The
thing, whatever it was, had been in the
arm some time, as it was covered with
flesh and skin that had grown since 1t
had been there, but few gashes with
my lancet brought it to the surface. but
it was so bloody that / could not make
| but its nature. The fellow was CHASTITY
pale, but had set his teeth and borne
without murmur the pain, and now
laughed.
''Drop it in your basin of water
there, Doc, and see what you'll see, he
said.
II did so, and saw as fine an uncut
diamond as was ever brought to this
country. l am not lapidary enough to
have very correct idea OF its value, but
it must have been many thousands OF
dollars.
'Involuntarily, 1 exclaimed, why,
where did you get such stoneT but
the mans eyes hardened in moment,
and he said: IF you're the sharp fellow
take you to be, you know from the
pains with which it was hidden that
there's a story TO that diamond that
amt giving away But Pm willing tc
pay you we'll for your trouble, and
know from what heard of you that you
amt peaching of what takes place here.
"I dressed the cut and he left me $3O(
for the job, though l only asked him $50
and then let him out, and that was tn
last ever saw or heard of him, though
/ have often speculated how and wher
he came into possession OF the stone, 10
that he was common smuggler l do no
