Mustard Plasters,

To put on mustard plaster is not
at all difficult, but to do it in the hest
way requires some care and skill. In
the first place, remember never to
give cold mustard plaster to patient
to a weak or sensitive person the
shock is often great. Either mix it
with very hot water, or, better still,
have plate put where it can get
warm while you are mixing. Have
everything ready at hand, mustard,
flour and spoonful of molasses, with
bit of old muslin or linen-an old
handkerchief is the best thing for the
purpose.
Stir the mustard and flour together,
first making the plaster stronger or
weaker with mustard as you have boen
directed. Add the molasses, and
then the water until the smooth mass
is about as thick as porridge or poul-
tice. Spread your cloth ON the warm
plate, using the middle portion of the
linen, and leaving a margin on all
sides, which is to be folded back at
the edges. Put a second cloth over
the whole, so that the mustard is en-
tirely hid between the two covers, and
keep on the plate until it is necessary
to apply the plaster.

A Lost Opportunity.

1t was near one of the large railro ad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years, whose old-fashioned attire and
open.mouthed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural
districts and not accustomed to the
everyday sights of a large city, was
suddenly accosted by q sharp-visaged
youth with, Mister, yer dropped yer
wallick." As he spoke he held forth a
large wallet we'll stuffed with revenue
stamps covered with couple of dollar
bills.
Uncle Rube looked ut the green
backs bulging out OF the wallet with
equally protruding eyes, hesitated just
one moment, and then, his cupidity
evidently getting the better OF him,
reached for it. "Hold on, give us a
tenner fiurst," exclaimed the professor
of the wallet.
The old man quickly put his hand
in his trousers pocket; but, after a
moment, drawing forth his empty
hand, he drawled out. "Take it out
O. the wallet"
The youth, closing the wallet with
all concealed disgust, turned on his
heel and hurried off. The stranger in
town looked after the youth a moment,
and then, muttering, "Gol dern !!
Missed it again. l told Sal I'd need
more'n $3," he resumed his peaceful

TIM ING A TRAIN.
Count the Rail Joints and You Can Tell
the Speed.

Count the Rail Joints and You Can Tell
the Speed.
Not one person in hundred who
travels has any idea of the speed of a
train, and even large percentage OF
the regular trainmen can not tell with
any degree OF accuracy. Engineers
use their driving wheel as u gauge.
They know its circumference, and by
counting its revolution within a GER
tain time, can tell very accurately the
speed at which they are running.
A favorlte method of timing among
passengers is to count the telegraph
poles. AS rule these poles are
planted 80 to the mile, but in prairie
countries, where only single wire is
used, the number diminishes to %, so
that rule will not always work. The
most accurate method and the most
in use by experienced railroad men,
is to count the number OF rail joints
the train passes over in 20 seconds.
The rails Oh nearly all roads are 80
feet in length, and the number passed
v er in 20 seconds is the speed per
hour the train is running.
For instance, if a passenger can
count 80 clicks on rail joint in %
seconds, the train is running at q
speed of 80 miles an hour. Actually
this method falls little short, as in
the example given above the speed
would be nearer 81 than 80 miles, but
it is near enough for all practical pur.
