USES OF HOT WATER.

Hot water is more of medicinal
property than many believe or know.
Because it is to be had for the making
thousands think it invaluable, on the
theory that what comes easiest is Oft
times least thought of. The uses of
hot water are, however, many.
For example, there is nothing that
so promtly cuts short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism,
as hot water, when applied promptly
and thoroughly.
Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application of hot
water to feet and back of neck.
A towel folded several times, and
dipped in hot water, and quickly
wrung out and applied over the tooth
ache or neuralgia, will generally af-
ford prompt relief.
A strip of flannel, or napkin folded
lengthwise, and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck Of child that has
the Group, will sometimes bring re-
lief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time, is helpful in the case
of constipation, while it has a most
soothi ng effect onthe stomach and
bowels.
A goblet of hot water taken just af-
ter rising, before breakfast, has cured
thousands of Indigestion, and no sim
pie remedy is more widely recon-
mended by physicians or dyspeptics.
The fluid which is to be gargled is
taken into the mouth so that the lat
ter is little more than half full. The
patient is then told to bend the head
back, opening the mouth wide and
make a complete movement Of swal-
lowing, not allowing the mouth to
close. The movement of swallowing
must be as complete as if intending to
send the fluid into the stomach, but if
the mouth remains open, none, or
only a limited portion Of it, ever gets
any farther than the Oesophagus. The
movement of swallowing complete,
the air is allowed to gargle through
the fluid in the usual way as long as is
possible; and when the fluid must be
elected, the patient, placing the tip of
his tongue against the incisor teeth
of the upper jaw, mods the head
quickly forward and the fluid runs out
into the vessel waiting to catch it. IF
there is any obstruction in the nasal
passages to prevent, and the patient
has successfully followed instruction,
the fluid, on being elected, will pass
up back of the soft palate and will
come out through the nose, moisten-
ing all parts of the nasopharynx in its
transit. Experience shows that while
only one movement of swallowing
with the mouth open is necessary, the
presence of the fluid so far down the
throat causes the desire to repeatedly
swallow, but as the mouth remains
open, far from being a detriment, it is
a direct assistance to the performance
of the act. This act is especially true
of the last act of gargling, viz, the
passage of water through the nose.
IF cleanliness and economy are to
be observed in the household, it is
necessary to give special care to the
carpets. At least twice year they
should be taken up and treated to a

How THE WOMEN VoTED.-Women
voted in Ohio Tuesday, and some
female candidates were elected to
office, but the advocates of woman
suffrage cannot say that the number
of women who went to the polls in
the Buckeye State indicates strong
desire for the ballot. The
event had all the attractiveness
of novelty, being the first time that
the ballot was to be found in woman S
hands in our neighboring common
wealth, but the chief significance of
the result lies in the fact that far
more women remained at home than
went to the polls. The city of Clevc-
land holds $4,000 women eligible
as voters, but only 5000 registered
ard half Of that number did not cast
ballot. The same proportion Of
votes to female voters registered is
reported from Columbus, showing
that so per cent of the women 8
hearts failed them between the time
Of registration and voting.

Arriving there the m.iIy patty pro

with music and games, until ll.30,
when all were invited to the dining
room, where they found an immense
table spread and filled with refresh
ments tempting to the eye, pleasant
to the palate and gratifying to the
inner man. After supper all again
