TREATMENT OF HIVES.

An Annoying Ailment Which Amicta
Children in Summer.
About this time of year children are
apt to be troubled more or less with
hives. Usually they are not a menace to
life, but they are great discomfort to
the child and it's mother. All are ia.
miliar with this condition 50 It need
not be described at length. They sud.
denly fash out on a seemingly healthy
skin and as suddenly disappear. They
are at first of a pinkish red color, soon
changing to deep red. If rubbed they
become surrounded by whitish ring
which has given to them the appropriate
name ''wheals." They are intensely
itchy and almost drive child frantic
The most urgent indication is TO allay
the irritation; this may be done with
varying degrees of success with various
applications. A favorite remedy is 6
saturated solution of bicarbonate OF
soda-ordinary baking soda. Possibly
a better remedy is pulverized boracie
acid dissolved in glycerine or cosmo
line and lightly rubbed over the surface
A remedy have used with satisfaction
though it has very disagreeable odor
is solution of carbolic acid, a tea
spoonful to pint of water, the mix.
ture to be shaken for Is minutes to get
the acid thoroughly broken up. A good
authority gives these directions for the
relief of this affection. Wash the child
with soda water, then dip the finger in
castor oil and battle each Individual
hive, rubbing the oil we'll into the skin.
The cause of hives is generally found
in the digestive tract, so the diet and
bowels should be carefully looked to.
One of the saline purgatives should be
given to carry off any undigested mate
rial that may be present, then all rich
and heating foods should be withheld.
The child should be kept as still as
possible to avoid overheating the
blood.-Home Monthly.

WOMAN AND HOME
ROSE JAR SWEETS.
TWO Recipes for Making Fragrant
and Spicy Potpourri.

Two Recipes for Making Fragrant
and Spicy Potpourri.
Gather fresh rose leaves in thorough
~ dry weather and place them in a
Large, covered, glazed, earthenware jar.
Between each layer of leaves sprinkle
some common table salt and cover up
the jar tightly after each layer of leaves
is put in it. Do this throughout the
summer. The rose leaves will sink and
allow of great guam tity being put in.
When the jar is full let it stand for,
about fortnight, then thoroughly
squeeze the leaves from the salt with
the hand, and add the following: One
ounce each of storax and benzoin, two
ounces of orris root and one ounce of
allspice-all these to be we'll powdered;
one dram each Of bergamot, oil of cassia,
and oil of lavender, aud two ounces of
cloves. Mix all these ingredients well
together and thoroughly incorporate
the same with the rose: leaves. Fill
large china jars. Lavender may be
dried by itself and added to the rose
leaves; also sweet-scented petals of
the white jasmine, orange flower
blossoms, and other flowers. But these
must all be simply dried in the sun and
mixed with the rose leaves before the
scent is added. If these directions are
carefully followed the result will prove
most satisfactory.
Good Housekeeping gives the follow
ing directions for filling rose jar:
Take two quarts of fresh rose petals,
gathered before the sun is on them.
their fragrance being stronger in the
early morning, and gill of salt. Toss
the rose leaves lightly for one hour to
dry. Sprinkle salt on the bottom of a
large bowl, add a layer of rose leaves,
then salt, and SO ON until all are used.
Let them remain three days in some
apartment free from sunshine and un-
disturbed by the wind, stirring and
turning twice each day. Add an ounce
and half of dry allspice and half an
ounce of stick cinnamon, broken into
pieces. Let this stand for week, stir
ring daily. Put into permanent jar
and add the following ingredients: One
ounce of orris root, sliced thin, half an
ounce each of allspice, cloves, cinnamon,
6AASeA Aoot, sAccu tdAAH, oHe-1OuItu
pound of freshdried lavender blossoms,
the rose leaf stock, one grated nutmeg,
one-fourth ounce of anise seed, five
grains of finest Canton musk, half an
ounce of oil of rose geranium, one
fourth ounce each of the oils of jessa-
mine, lavender, lemon, verbena, musk,
violet, rosemary, and bergamot-
This mixture is warranted to be fra
grant, and if the jar is kept tight will
last for years, though from time to
time little lavender or orange-fower
water or any nice perfume may be
added. When it is desired to perfume
a room, open the jar for little while,
and the apartment will soon be as fra
grant as a garden of roses.
