INTERNAL POISONING REMEDIES -

INTERNAL POISONING REMEDIES
A tablespoonful of ground mustard in
glass of warm water, followed by
more warm water, until vomiting oc-
ours, is an excellent emetic. Common
salt will answer in the absence of mus
tard. Or a glass of cool water, with a
heaping teaspoonful each of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into
it, is good. The whites of eggs or q
cupful of strong coffee are antidotes
for a greater number of poisons than
any dozen other articles known, with
the advantage of being easily accessi-
BILE. Sweet oil, lamp oil, drippings,
melted butter, or lard are good substi-
tutes, especially if they are vomited
quickly. Should vomiting continue
excessively after all traces of poison
have been removed, it may often be
relieved by immersing the hands and
wrists in as hot water as can he borne
meanwhile give the patient clear, cold
coffee or cream of tartar water.
Watercress, used freely with salt
and vinegar, is an antidote to the in
fuence of tobacco. A strong decoc.
ton will destroy the poisonous effects
of nicotine.-Farm, Field and Fire.

grand. 1t is totally unlike southern
aspect. Its general effect puts utterly
to rout preconceived ideas. They are
charmingly simple and homelike in
many respects, and yet these hedged
enclosures reveal a wealth of beauty
that is astounding. The sight which
greets the expectant eye is marvellous
ly beautiful, and the large outlook in
which the happy gardens, superbly
grand, hold their rightful place is ex-
haustive in the extreme. 1t were a
pity to descend to minute minutia of
description, where the larger effects
are 80 notable, especially so when it
would prove inadequate. And 80 we
leave these charming grounds with
recollections that will never be efaced.
Various other portions of this vast
estate were visited and the excitement,
kept up at high pitch, was in nowise
abated. Wherever we went, we saw
perfection as far as human skill and
money could make it such. From
the piggeries, with its inhabitants,
some costing as much as 81 300 and
weighing 800 to 1000 pounds, to the
henneries and incubating houses, with
their wealth and vanity of feathered
denizens, it was everywhere the same.
We had certainly enjoyed an afternoon
unique and entertaining and we left
left this noble estate with profound
impression.
The glories and loveliness of Ashe-
Vile we must leave to a separate de.
scription. This city and vicinity pos
sesses beauty that is simply grand.
The drives are teeming with rich land
scapes that fairly cultivate the senses.
But these and the magnificent trip
around the mountains and through the
mountains, past Round Knob and its
famous fountain, only intensity the
celebratness of the Western North
Carolina region.

BETTER THAN WHITEWAsH.-As 6

BETTER THAN WHITEWASH.-As ser.
viceable paint for farm buildings can
he made by thickening sour milk or
butter milk with Portland cement and
metallic Venetian red or bright red
paint powder to the ordinary paint
consistency, says Guy E. Mitchell, in
San Francisco Chronile. Ipainted the
outside of my barn Trough lumber)
with this mixture six years ago, and
also tainted few boards with ordina-
ry oil paint as check, and I cannot
see now but that the milkpaint has
preserved the wood equally well with
the oil paint. 1t has kept its color and
shows no sign of age. The paint will
not rub nor wash off like whitewash.
The grease in the milk seems to have
the fixing quality, as l tried using wa
ter with the cement and paint powder
and found it rubbed off readily. For
this reason I judge sour milk better
than buttermilk, as it contains more
grease. This sort of paint costs but
little, and can he mixed up instantly.
It is very valuable for doing little odd
jobs around the farm which might not
otherwise get done. 1t is necessary to
keep agitating the paint in the bucket,
as the cement settles quickly.

HE WAS A MASON,

A well-known Chicago publisher,
speaking of scenes and incidents in
that city in the trying days after the
big fire, said: "The great fire was a
thing of the recent past and the down
town portion of the city scene of the
greatest confusion. About o'clock
in the evening, while on my way to
my home in the west division, 1 was
accosted by man of respectable ap-
pearance, who asked me to give him
the price of lodging.
"'I'm not q beggar,' said he, but
Pm in hard luck. A man told me that
some Masons were in session over this
way. If I could find them, I'd be all
right
"I happen to know a lodgeroom on
Canal street, where there is meeting
tonight" said I. Come along, I'll
take you there
"The place reached, I conducted
him up a long flight of stairs and
knocked at a door.
"'I'm not a Mason said to man
who seemed to be acting in the ca
pacity of a guard, but I've run across
one of your fraternity who seems to be
in hard luck. 1 take it you'll be glad
to do something for him.
"Congratulating myself on having
done good act, I pushed my chance
acquaintance forward and retreated
toward the stairway. A whispered
conversation ensued, when the guard
exclaimed:
"'You're not Freemason i
"sNo,' replied my late charge, but
I'm a stonemason out of job
"The roar of laughter that issued
from the half open door made me wish
myself a Mason. AS it was, 1 hur-
riedly quilted the place."

IMBIBING WIsDoM.--The man with
a fad, who was talkative, as such men
generally are, had been discoursing to
his friend, says the New York World,
on the influence Of food upon charac-
ter.
"Tell me-" said he, in summing up,
"tell me what a man eats, and l will
tell you what he is"
"His friend, although fatigued, was
evidently interested.
"There is only one question l wish
to ask you," he said.
"Ask it," replied the discourser,
magnanimously, with an air that said
very clearly, "Give me hard one
while you are at it, and I'll show you
how smart am"
at is this" replied the fatigued
friend. elbow much sage tea would
you have to drink to make wise man
of yourself?"
"No answer being promptly forth
coming, the conference broke up.

TESTED HIS STRENGTH.-Charley
NJ. was at home from college, spend
ing his summer vacation. The MS
were people fairly we'll to do, and
Charley was passing the forenoon very
comfortably on the cool and shady
veranda.
Down by the barnyard fence, in a
neglected place, a crop of strong,
healthy weeds had sprung up and
fiourished under the summer sun.
Left unmolested in the rush of work
on the farm, they were fast becoming
a blot on the otherwise orderly prem
ises, and that morning Charley's faith
er-the "old man"-had sailed forth
and was now making a vigorous as
sault upon the patch.
Suddenly he left off his work and
came up into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to be lean
ing against the veranda, he laid it on
the grass, then turned to Charley and
said:
"Git down here and see if you can
pull me over that stick"
He held in his hand small chain,
in each end of which was inserted a
stout stick to serve as a handle. Then
the tug began and developed iato
quite spirited contest. But at last
Charley succeeded in dragging the old
man across the line.
"There, that'll do," he said, drop
ping his end of the chain. 81 guess
you've got strength enough to pull
them weeds down there by the barn" !"
"I never said word," said Charley,
telling the story afterward, "but be-
fore noon there weren't any weeds left
standing."-Youth's Companion.

LINCOLN AND THE HAIR REsToR-
ER.-Here is story of President Lin.
coin from the late Judge Carter, who
was member of congress from Cleve-
land during the war and one Of Mr..
Lincoln's most intimate friends. 1t re-
lates to Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have hair
on his head, but took great interest
in public affairs and was constantly
calling at the White House IN behalf
of somebody or other who happened
to be in trouble and took up a great
deal of Mr.. Lincoln's time. The pres.
ident treated him with great courtesy,
although his patience was frequently
tried. One day when the philanthro-
pist was particularly verbose and per-
sistent and refused to depart, although
he knew that important delegations
were waiting, Mr.. Lincoln suddenly
rose, walked over to wardrobe in
the corner of the cabinet chamber and
took bottle from shelf. Handing
it to his visitor he remarked:
"Did you ever use this stuff on your
head ?"
"No, sir; never did,"
"Well," remarked Mr.. Lincoln" 81
advise you to try it, and if at first you
don't succeed, keep it up. They say
it's a good thing to make the hair
grow. Take this bottle with you and
come back in six months and tell me
how it works."
The astonished philanthropist COW
cred his polished pate with his broad
brimmed hat and left the room, while
Judge Carter, coming in with the next
delegation, found the president over
in the corner doubled up with laugh
ter at the success of his strategy, and
before he could proceed to business
the story had to be told.
