SEWING On BUTToNs.-"When ]
get a bright idea, I always want to
pass it along" said lady, "as she was
watching young girl sewing. "Do
your buttons ever come off, Lena?"
"Ever! They're always doing it.
They are ironed off, washed of, and
pulled off until 1 despair. I seem to
shed buttons at every step.s
"Make use of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and see
if they make any difference. When
you begin, before you lay the button
on the cloth, put the thread through,
so that the knot will be on the right
side. That leaves it under the button,
and prevents it from being worn or
ironed away, and thus beginning the
loosening process.
"Then, before you begin sewing, lay a
large pin across the button, so that all
your threads will go over the pin.
After you have finished filling the
holes with thread, draw out the pin
and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That makes
a compact stem, to sustain the pulling
and wear of the buttonhole.
"It is no exaggeration to say that
my buttons never come off, and I'm
sure yours won't if you use my meth
cd of sewing"

pH- A man who probably hailed from
Buffalo played powerful mean trick
on a Detroit bridal couple at Niagara
Falls the other evening. They went
to a hotel and registered, had supper,
and then started out for night view
ofthe Mighty Roarer. They had not
gone far when a man called to them
and said:
"Have you just been married ?"
awe have" answered the groom.
"Going to stay here a day or two r
eyes,"
"Having registered at my hotel, you
probably intend to remain there ?"
ayes, SIR"
"Well, want to say word to you.
I don't want any duck-deary nonsense
around my house. 1 want no popsy-
wopsy business on the veranda. lwant
no squeezing hands on the balconies or
feeding each other at the table,"
The groom let his arm fall from his
BRIDES waist in slow and painful
manner and the stranger continued:
"The first time you call her peaches
and cream, or she calls you her darl-
ing out you CO."
"Yes, SIR"
"She's no sweeter than ten thousand
other girls, and you're no more OF q
darling than 1 am, and won't stand
lovesick nonsense"
He walked away with that, and peo:
pie at the Falls who knew the bridal
couple were amazed to hear them ad.
dress each other as Mr.. and Mrs., and
to see what precautions they took to
prevent touching hands or betraylng
any symptoms of love. They put in
two wretched days, and it was only as
they were upon the point of leaving
that they discovered how base villain
had duped them.

SALT For DAIRY Cows.-Dairy
cattle ought to have access to salt
every day, and salt should be added
to all their stable feed. A series OF
experiments has convinced me that
when COWS are denied salt for a
period of even one week, they will
yield from 143 to III per cent. less
milk, and that of an inferior quality.
Such milk will, on an average, turn
sour in "a hours less time than milk
drawn from the same or similar cows
receiving salt, all other conditions OF
treatment being equal.-Professor
Robertson.

A CURE For DIPHTHERIA.-The
following remedy is said to be the best
known, at least it is worth trying, for
physicians seem powerless to cope with
the disease successfully. At the first
indication of diphtheria in the throat
of child, make the room close; then
take tin cup and pour into it guam
tity of tar and turpentine, equal parts.
Then hold the cup over the fire so as
to fill the room with the fumes. The
little patient, on inhaling the fumes,
will cough up and spit out all the
mbranous matter, and the diphthe-
ria will pass off,. The fumes of the tar
and turpentine loosen the matter in
the throat, and thus afford the relief
that has baffled the skill of physicians.

VALUABLE In THROAT TROUBLE
Make quart of red pepper tea, and
after straining add a teaspoonful OF
common salt. Then sweeten with
honey to suit the palate, (using ex.
tracted honey and gargle as often as
possible, always keeping the tea before
the fire so as to keep it lukewarm.
The pepper and the salt are the
knives that do the cutting and the
honey heals the wound. In extreme
cases, a dose of oil will help much at
first.

DECEIVED THE SURGEoN.-A good
story is told as having occurred in the
North of Scotland, where bonesetter
had risen to great fame and no small
fortune by his skill. A country lad
residing few miles offhad his leg hurt
by one of the local factories, and had
been treated for some time by the local
medical men without any good result.
His mother, who had great faith in the
neighboring bonesetter, wanted the lad
to 90 to him, which he declined, pre-.
ferring, as he said, the "reg'lar faculty"
Eventually, however, his mothers per-
suasions prevailed, and he agreed to
allow himself to be taken to see Danlel
r., the bonesetter. A bed for the in
valid was extemporized on cart, and
accompanied by his mother, he was,
after a rather painful journey, taken
to the town where the bonesetter re-
sided. The leg was duly examined, !,
and it was found necessary to haul 1t
very severely, in order, as the bone
setter said ito get the bone in" The
lad was liberal with his screams while
this was going on, but eventually the
bone was ''got in," and he was told
20 home and in a few day he would
be all right and fit for his work. HE
was lifted up on the cart again, and,
with his mother seated beside him, set
off for home. "Didn't Danny do the
thing we'll ?" said the joyous old lady.
ayes, he did, mother" said the lad,
ubut I was nae sic fool as gle him the
sair leg ?" The "reg'lar faculty" will,
we have no doubt, appreciate the story.

BALKY HORSES.-A NEW 1Ork
horseman tells how he at one time
started balky horses. He walked up
to the balky horse, patted his neck,
and talked to him, and the first thing
anybody knew, the team was going
down the street so fast that the coach
man could hardly hold them.
"How did you do it ?" asked by
stander.
"That is what the man wanted to
know, and all other people. So far as
any one could see, I hadn't done any.
thing; but had. You walk up to the
horse's head, and pretend to feel
around a little, and then, as quick as
you can, stick pin through the tip OF
the ears, and let it stay right there
The ears are the horses tenderest
point he cannot do anything without
his ears. AS soon as the pin goes
through his ear, you can make uE
your mind that he knows it.
"He probably thinks it is some new
kind of fly, and the whole force of his
mind is centered in getting away from
that fly, so he does the only thing that
is left, that is, tears away at full speed
don't believe that scheme ever fail
ed. There are balky horses that will
let you build fire under them with
out moving; but there is not one that
will stand still and let you stick pin
through his ears"
The whole philosophy of curing 8
balky horse is 10 change the current o.
his thoughts; give him something else
to think about. 1t is about the same
with balky men, who are about 81
common as balky horses.
