fOf Sl1gnG Oufn or Scald, apply,
olive oil, fresh butter or cover the place
with a cloth wrung out in about pint
of tepid water, in which piece Of
common washing soda, of the size of 4
walnut has been dissolved.
For a bad burn or scald use linseed
oil and lime water, mixed in equal
parts, known as ''carron oil" soaked
into piece Of lint, and laid on. In
the absence Of these remedies flour tho
burn well with the kitchen flour
dredger, and cover up quickly.
In all cases exclude the air as soon a.
possible, and keep the affected part
warm. Rags, wrung out in solution
of carbonate of soda and water, relieve
the pain of burn, too.
For cases where child's clothes
catch fire, after extinguishing tho
flames, never pull off the clothes if
sticking to the skin. Either cut them
off round the burns sponge them with
warm water until they fall of, or put
the child into. warm bath, and adj
minister brandy and water in severe
cases.
For sting, first remove the sting,
and then apply the bluebag, or sal
volatile.
Bruises. if slight, battle with cold
water, or whisky and water; if severe,
apply hot lamentations, or paint with
arnica.
For grazed or broken skin, use rag
dipped in laudanum and water. A cut
should be washed with warm water
and the edges brought together by

bandage Of clean linen.
Should anything get into the eye, ono
drop of castor oil should be dropped in
the corner of it; but if it be mortar or
lime, battle with a weak solution OF
vinegar and water.
A bead, button or pebble can be re-
moved from the ear by the child lying
with that ear on the pillow and the
upper ear being boxed sharply, or by
Swinging with warm water, an ordi-
nary penny glass syringe answering
the purpose.
A pea or bean, or anything likely to
| swell, must not be removed by means
| OF warm water. Insert instead the
nib of any ordinary pen behind the for
| eign substance, and so remove it, taxi
| ing great precaution, however, not to
! insert the nib too far down, as it may
| injure the drum of the ear, and also
exercising care that you do not push
| the obstacle further in while endeavor.
ing to get 1t out.
A moth or other.insect remove from
the ear by pouring in little warm oil,
and the insect will float on the top.
Children are rather fond of pushing
buttons, beads, ETC., up their nostrils.t
In these cases close the free nostril,
! and make the child blow hard through
| the other. Il.
If child be choking, hold it up
| by its heels, and pat it on the
back. If that does not produce the de-
sired result, hold the child's nose to
| prevent it closing its mouth, and press
down the root of the tongue, which
will make it disgorge the obstruction.
| Sunstroke sometimes happens to
| children, who often run out beneath
the hot rays without waiting to put on
hat or cap. When the symptoms
which are giddiness, feeling of sick
ness, great heat and thirst, red eyes,
quick pulse, pupils of eyes small,
breathing noisy and hurried, and in
sensibility-are apparent, remove the
child to shady place, and lay it down
flat, with the head slightly raised.
Loosen the clothes Apply cold water
or ice to the head and the nape OF the
neck, and give it pieces of ice to suck
when consciousness returns But give
no stimulants.
It frostbire occurs, rub the part
frost-bitten with the hand, and then
rub in some oil, taking care not to let
the child approach the fire till the
blood circulates properly.-The Lady.
Where to Locate in the South.
Of the thousands and thousands of North.
ern families who contemplate locating in
the South this fall, in the hope of improv.
ing their health and lettering their fnan.
cial status, the vital question is which point
ia the South is the best to locate in. The
three important questions to farmer, as
far as location is concerned, are
l: Soil capable of growing all the cereals
he is accustomed to cultivating.
2. A healthy climate.
3. A point where ready market can be
found for everything he raises.
These requisites can be separately found
in any of the Southern States, but in the
great mineral belt of North Alabama they
are all found together.
1t was this belt that originally attracted
the eyes of the world to the South. It is
about fifty miles wide and two hundred
miles long, and reaches from the Northeast
corner Of the State as far south as Tusca-
loosa. Within the mineral belt lie all the
coal, iron, limerick and other mines; all tho
furnaces and most Of the manufactures Of
the State, thus providing employment for
immense numbers of operators Of all kinds,
which create market for every pound Of
produce raised by the farmer within this
region at high price, and practically at his
door. In fact, the consumption of the prod
ucts OF the farm is so greatwithin this min
eral belt that the farmers located therein
are unable to supply one-twentieth of the
demand, and this cannot be said Of any
other point in the South.
The increase in the value of lands within
the mineral belt of North Alabama is more
certain than any other point in the South,
hence no mistake can be made in locating
there. s-
The land throughout the mineral region is
high and dry, though watered by many pure
and limpid streams. It's elevation is such
thatit enjoys the luxury of a pure atmos-t
phere derived from it's altitude thus giving
to all this region the uniform climate OF the
South with the benefit Of the seasons.
Birmingham is the center Of this mineral
belt, with the beautiful city Of Fort Payne,
on the Alabama Great Southern r. Rat
the North and Tuscaloosa at the South.
