cases Of nosebleed.
The aromatic syrup Of rhubarb is a
good remedy for hives in children. A

Some of the pleasant-favored pow
ders injure the teeth. In case of doubt,
you cannot do better than use the plain
mixture of English precipitated chalk:
mixed with powdered orris root.
For dysentery, a physician recon-

There seems to be only one sure way
of eradicating warts, and this Is to
soften the excrescence with hot water,
protect the surrounding skin with
vaseline, and slowly burn off the Wart

Many infants are troubled with
eczema Of the scalp. An excellent rem

daily, with a mixture of equal parts Of
castor Oil and alcohol.
When splinter gets into the eye and

Chicago Times-Herald: The state
board of pharmacy has acted wisely In
declaring war against apothecaries
and grocers who are dealing in adul'
terated drugs and chemicals. For some
time past an Investigation has been go
ing on, and the discoveries made by the
chemists employed for this work are
startling AS the result 1t is said thaa
more than 200 arrests will be made III
Chicago. Frederick NJ. Schmidt, resi-
dent member Of the board, says that
among other peculiar things discovered
by the state chemists may be enumer
ated "bora1" which contains no borax
''hthia tablets which contain no form
of Nthia, "Quinine pills" which contain
no Quinine and "eream Of tartar con
tanning IS per cent of plaster of paris
Comparatively recently several fakera
flooded the drug market with a new
''tasteless quinine." Sufferers from
ague and other forms Of malarial dis"
eases purchased the new drug eagerly,
hoping thereby to escape the bittes
taste Of the old familiar product Oh
Peruvian bark. They did escape tina
taste, but they couldn't shake the aguea
That "tasteless quinine" was pulverized
plaster of paris. 1t is this sort of i'm
position that the board Of pharmacy
aims to prevent. The use Of plaster OF
paris in the arts has been known FROM
earliest times. 1t is especially valuable
for interior decoration. But when il
comes to decorating the interior Of onef
anatomy with plaster Of paris frieze
even the most enthusiastic lover Of art
would be justified in registering milo

In talk in ST. Louis the other day
Bishop Vincent touched with consider
able vigor upon the question of house
work. He contended for considerate
treatment of servants as an honorable
element OF the home. They should be
respected in their,impo sphere OF
work, and their self-respect cultivated.
The Bishop said that he is in favor OF
teaching Homework to all boys, no mat
ter what their station in life. They
should know how to cook, make beds,
sweep and wash dishes, and this, in
addition to being useful, would give
them higher appreciation Of what Is
called woman's work. No doubt thous-
ands Of pilgrims to the Klondike would
be thankful to have had training of
this kind. They must do their own
homework now, whether they under
stand it or not.

A correspondent Of an Eastern paper
writes to ask why a disturbance is
made about the use Of the plumage Of
birds by milliners, when bobolinks are
shot daily and served in restaurants.
It is true that the bobolink is never
found in his own proper name on bills
Of fare. No one with any sentiment
would be willing to eat larks, night
ingales, brown thrushes, bobolinks or
doves. The accomplished chef gets
around that neatly. In his vocabulary
the bobolink Is reed bird and the dove
a pigeon AS sort Of retribution,
sparrows also are reed birds. When
the knowing bon vivant thinks he Is
swallowing the trilLs and roulades Of
the bobolink he may really be no near
er that aesthetic feast than the squack
Of the sparrow. It serves him right,
as the enemy Of some of our finest war
blerS.

1t Is not generally known that a
mustard plaster made with the white
of an egg will not leave a blister. The
egg plays an important part in thera-
peutics, when understood. A raw egg
will carry a f1shbone out Of the throat,
and it's white skin is most eficacious
application for boil.
A bran bag is one Of the most CRATE
full Of all toilet accessories. 1t Is

meal, and one small cake Of CASTLE
soap cut in small pieces.
Here is a physical training direction

day in outdoor exercise, make the best
Of bad bargains and always keep your
temper.
Every season there Is great inquiry
for the famous cholera mixture which
is so reliable. The prescription, which
is a good one to preserve, is as fol-
lows, but should be put up by a skilled
druggist, so that quantities may not be
excessive: Equal parts Of tincture of
opium, tincture Of rhubarb, tincture of
red pepper, spirits of camphor and es-
sence of peppermint.

doctor claims that meat eating and

In cases of scarlet fever, the entire
body Of the patient should be carefully

After a long period Of playing pos
sum, Russell Sage appeared on the New
York Stock Exchange and sent the
stock of Manhattan Elevated seven
points up. Accompanying the advance
were many rumors Of improvements In
the road which would increase its value
as a means of rapid transit, but those
who have watched the management OF
the Manhattan since Sage and Gould
took charge of it place no credit in these
stories So long as Sage has practi-
cal monopoly Of the elevated railway
business of New York city he will not
spend 1O-cent piece to improve the
road. The advance in the stock was
merely a raid by Sage on lot Of I'M
wary bears on the Stock Exchange.
