TWO GOOD POULTICES.
To Be Used for Cold on the Lungs and
for Congestion of the Lungs.

To Be Used for Cold on the Lungs and
for Congestion of the Lungs.
For the first, heat kettle of water
and make quantity of corn meal mush
Have the water boiling and sailed, and
make it just as carefully as if for the
table. Spread towel on board which
has been warmed, and spread the mush
on half the length of it, letting it be
fully an inch thick. Turn the other half
of the towel up over it, back around the
edges, and lay it on the chest as warm
as the patient can bear.
If the bronchial tubes seem affected
be sure to press the poultice we'll into
the hollows about the collar bone. Re-
new in four or five hours. This has been
known to break up the trouble caused
by measles turning in upon the lungs,
within "a hours. Be careful to apply
warm, dry fannels when the poultice is
removed.
To make the second poultice, take a
clean pan, and pour in about pint of
water. When it boils stir in, slowly,
faxseed meal until so thick that you
can dip up a round spoonful. Let it
cook until it will fall from the basin at
the edges.
have ground fax in the coffee mill
when too far from town to buy meal.
Spread this mixture on old, thin, cot
ton and haste the same as for the other
poultice.
In very bad cases have spread on
this, camphorated lard, made by melt
ing camphor gum in lard. To do this,
set the bottle or cup in pan of hot
water, using as much of the gum as will
dissolve, then sprinkle on a little red
pepper, and, if the case is very obstinate,
little powdered ipecac, but these two
are to be used in moderation, the first
because too much will be painful and
the last because it may cause nausea
and a looseness of the bowels. Apply
over the lungs, and renew every two
hours, having poultice at hand ready
to put on the instant the old one is re-
moved.
The camphor must not be used on a
nursing mother, but it is good in all
other cases.-Rebecca Bartlett, in Min

GOOD FLAX GROWN.
Successful Experiments Conducted In the
Puget Sound Region.


Under the direction of the Office of
fiber Investigations of the department
of agriculture, experiments in grow
ing fax have been conducted in the
Puget Sound region during the sea-
sons 1898 and 1895. The flax straw
grown during the season of 1895 was so
promising that ton of it was taken
by the representatives of the Barber
company and sent to Lisbon, Ireland,
to be retted, scotched and tested. The
reports received through the above
Office indicate that high grade of
fax can be produced from this straw
under proper treatment, which would
compare favorably with the fiber of the
famous Courtrai region in Belgium.
The Courtrai fax retted in the famous
river Lys is acknowledged to be the
best fax in the world.

NATIONAL GUARD INSPECTION.
THAT OF THE FIRST BRIGADE
WILL BEGIN THIS WEEK.
Bill Authorizing the War Secretary tc
Provide Modern Rifles for Old
Ones Passes the Senate.

The inspection of the Second Bri-
Of the National Guard of this State
is finished and the inspection of the
First will now begin. After that is
finished the inspecting officers will be-
gin the inspection OF the Second Regi-
ment, commencing about May I'd.
The inspection is conducted by the
Brigade Inspector of each Brigade,
Captain Darlington, U. S. A, and Col
onel j. l.. Currier, Division Inspector.
They muster and inspect the men at
night and inspect their arms, clothes
and accouterments during the day.
The men say they never knew what
it was to undergo an inspection before,
this one is so rigid, but things have
been found in fair shape, and they say
that next year they will not be afraid
of close scrutiny.
The inspection consists in part of
drill and inquiry is made as to the
knowledge the officers possess in re-
gard to their duties to their companies
and also of the rules and regulations
Of the service.
Adjutant- General Barrett says the
Guard is stronger to-day than at any
time in the past in point of members,
the companies having been well filled
up by consolidation and recruiting. Fol-
lowing is the standing of the Guard on
March LIST as given in General Order
No. 4, on April 1st:
Commander-in-Ch and Staff, %;
division and staff, IA; three Brigades
and staffs, 43; three Signal Corps, u;
four troops Cavalry approximately,
Troop D not yet reported), 274; Naval
Battalion, 400; First Infantry, 1,O10;
Second Infantry, 577; Fifth Infantry,
80; Sixth Infantry, 584 Seventh In
fantry, 799; total, 4,375.
The United States Senate has passed
the bill authorizing the Secretary of
War to exchange new Springfield rifles
for the obsolete ones now in the hands
Of the National Guard and also allow
ing the States, in addition to their ap-
preparation, to buy from the Govern
ment uniforms and other accouter-
ments at factory prices. The Army
and Navy Register" publishes state
ments from nearly all the Adjutant-
Generals of the United States COM
mending the law and saying that it
will do much for the militia.
With all our talk about war and the
amount of men the Government could
put in the field, very few people have
any clear idea of the number. General
Hardy's report shows that there are In
the United States 1898, 900 men liable
to military duty. 1t therefore be-
hooves little Spain to think twice be-
fore she knocks the chip Off our
shoulder.
Adjutant-General Barrett goes south
again this week to continue the in
spection. He is endeavoring to visit
every militia company in the State
| and acquaint himself with its condi-
ton and needs. He thinks that the
National Guard will soon be in a con.
dition we need not be ashamed of
| The officers and men are taking great
| interest and are willing and anxious
| to do their duty and get their proper
| equipments for service.

HOW TO BE CHEERFUL

Driving Away Sallowness, Nervous
ness and Irritable Feelings.
"Laugh ana grow fat" Is an old saying
which means that there is a very close con-
nection between a cheerful mind and a sound
body. Everybody knows that this is true.
but how many people there are who find 1t
impossible to be lghthearted! They are al
ways wrapped in gloom. they grow pale, sal
low and prematurely old because they are
constantly suffering from dyspepsia. consti-
patton and tired. nervous, irritable feelings
Is there any way in which such people can
Improve their health and feel happier? Yes,
most decidedly there is Many people have
fortunately discovered the secret OF health
and happiness and are giving others the ben
efit OF their experience.
Mrs. j. w. Connor of Fitchburg, Mass, re-
Gently said: al was in bad health and feeling
very miserable and lows spirited when a friend
advised me to try Duffy's pure malt whisky.
I.Tdid So and am now feeling stronger and
years. 1t has worked wonders and l think 1t
is a grand. good thing"
Mr. w. c. Wilcox OF Utica, n. Y, says: II
have been using Duffy's pure malt whisky for
indigestion and shortness of breath, and am
happy to say that | have been greatly bene-
flied. 1 have also induced my friends TO try
1t with equally good results"
There Is nothing like Duify's pure malt for
toning up the system, quickening the circula-
ton and giving bright, healt by looks to worn
out faces. Every grocer and druggist keeps
It, but care should be taken TO guard against
inferior limitations. When you ask for Duffy
pure malt whisky be sure that you get Ii and
accept nothing else. There is nothin that
can produce the same effects.

General did was to take q long walk with
an ex-Attorney- General They went out
the Twenty-third-street door of the
hotel to avoid the reporters, who were
massed in the hotel corridors. In this
evidently the two Generals failed OF
their purpose, for we find that the news
pirates knew all about it and followed
the trail It will remain a lasting
blemish upon the judgment and pre-
science of General Harrison that he did
not realize that the opposite door, Or
the basement exit, would have secured
him from the intrusion he wished to
avoid. However, something must be
conceded to the mental condition of an
ex-President who is about to be mar
ried the second time. But what was
the matter with the ex-Attorney-Gen-
eraI? He being still married must have
had his wits about him? Why then did
he permit the General to go out by that
Twenty third-street door, and why did
he permit him to walk up Fifth avenue?
walk, assuredly, for the veracious ac-
count tells us that very soon Mr.. Har-
rison returned to the hotel and secluded
himself in his room until noon. And
here the reporters dropped him. They
fail to tell US the current OF his
thoughts, what he was doing in that
room, and how long he remained there.
For aught the world knows he may not
have come down to dinner. Perhaps
he had lunch sent up. 1t may be he had
no desire for nourishment. 1t is pos
sible that he was engaged in medita-
ton and prayer and confession of sins;
these offices invariably have bad
effect upon the appetite. Since the
Jenkinses Of the news-gathering corps
so far pursued their inquiries, the ques-
tion, ''Why did they drop them thus
abruptly?" will, we fear, be a reason
for great disturbance Of the eQuanimity
of the reading public.

the Bicycle Paths.
At last nights meeting Of the Capital
City Wheelmen the assurance was given
on behalf of certain merchants that
they would contribute $500 toward
building the proposed bicycle paths to
Folsom and Calf, provided the club
would raise like sum.
The proposition was received with en-
thusiasm, and a committee of twelve
was selected to district the city and So
licit funds. The committee consists Of
c. M. Goethe, M. Lavenson, w. W.
Wright, G. j. Atwater, L. T. Andrews,
f. NJ. Jones, L. S. Upson, 8. Hopkins, L.
c. Billups, George G. Allen, James
Banta and J. L. Gillis.
This committee is empowered to re-
ceive subscriptions from wheelmen and
others who may feel an interest in the
proposed improvement. Nothing will
be done in the matter until enough
money shall be raised to build both the
Folsom and Stockton paths.
The Executive Committee and Messrs.
Frank Miller, H. Bennett, w. E. Hale
and H. Weinstock are to have full power
to manage the building of these pro-
posed bicycle roads. A circular letter
will be addressed to all wheelmen on the
subject.
Work on the experimental path, two
miles eastward from Thirty-first and
streets-referred to yesterday in the
cord-Union"-will be commenced
to-day. This is independent of the
paths In regard to which the club took
action last night, the expense having
been guaranteed by a few club MEM
