HOT WATER REMEDIES.

Hot water is so simple remedy,
and so easily obtained that its value is
not half appreciated. 1t is one OF the
best restorers of nervous energy, il
rests the weary, and it relieves pain,
not only as all outward application
but as remedy 10 be taken iuter-
nally.
A sudden and wearing attack Of
coughing often needs immediate alten:
ton, especially in consumptives, and
those chronically i'll. In an emergen-
cy, that ever useful remedy will often
prove effective. 1t is much better than
the ordinary cough mixtures, which
disorder the digestion and spoil the
appetite. Water, almost boiling,
should be slipped when the paroxysms
comes on.
A cough, resulting from irritation, is
relieved by hot water through the
promotion of secretion, which mois'
tens the irritated surfaces. For the
trying cough, hot water is also excel
lent, as it promotes expectoration aud
brings relief.
When one has a sudden attack OF
indigestion it is good plan TO take a
cup of hot water as nearly boiling as
can be borne. Persons suffering from
dyspepsia will find relief by drink
ing cup of hot water on rising in the
morning.
When one comes home at night af-
ter fatiguing day, nothing is more
restful than bathing the head and back
of the neck with towel wrung out oil
water as hot as can be borne. II
soothes the nerves and rests body and
brain. The same treatment relieves d
nervous headache as nothing else does.
When one is overheated and there is a
rush of blood to the head, a hot towel
applied to the face and head is great
relief. In the heat of summer this
same hot towel refreshes and cools the
skin, and gives it feeling Of lightness
and comfort that cold water never
gives.

A GOOD PAINT.-Having recently
to paint several large buildings, en-
tered seriously into the question of al
economical paint. An old and exper-
fenced painter advised me to use half
venetian red, half yellow ochre, mixed
with raw oil. He said this would
make the most durable of all paints.
He said this mineral paint would har'
den, and was almost like stone in
becoming impervious to the elements.
I therefore ordered a barrel Of linseed
oil at 80 cents per gallon, and no.
pound keg Of venetian red, the same
amount of yellow ochre, both of which
came in a dry and powdered condition,
and cost II cents per pound. 1t re-
qured only one-half of this oil and
paint to cover two large buildings, one
building being 100 feet square and "a
feet high, and the other being 40 by "a
feet high. I was astonlshed to fiud
the buildings so thoroughly covered
by one coat of paint. Anyone would
suppose at least two coats had been
applied. l think this one coat will
stand several years without an addi-
tional coat. My plan is to let the
building stand for one year, until this
first coat becomes entirely hardened,
and then TO apply a second coat. |
am told that these two coats will last
Is years. If so, this is certainly the
cheapest paint for farm buildings
which can be suggested.

The book says very little about women

men.
W-(musingly)-You may be right,
after all, John, now when come TO
think about it. There is something,
at any rate, it says about men that it
does not say about women.

FROM COLD TO SUDDEN WARMTH.

The annual subject of "catchlng
cold" is causing its usual theorizing,
and again we are being reminded OF
the danger of overheated rooms. Few
seem to realize that the danger is not
so much going into very cold tenn
perature; but lies in the passing from
the cold to warm apartment.
1t has long been a subject of com.
plant on the part of some Europeans
that American houses are overheated.
1t is also claimed that one result of
this overheating is that Americans are
more subject to lung or throat diseases
than they would be if their houses
were kept at lower temperature DUR
ing the winter. This is probably true
up to certain point; but there are
some ways in which the danger can be
avoided even where there the temper
ature of the residence is not low.
1t seems to be the general idea that
the person who passes from an over
heated room into the cold air of the
streets is in serious danger of catching
cold. Consequently many persons
stay indoors in the winter time, be-
cause they do not like to run the risk
of catching cold by going out. In this
they often make a decided mistake,
because the majority of colds are not
caught by going from warm temper.
ature into cold temperature, provi-
ded the person making the change in
dulges in reasonable exercise and does
not remain out doors too long. The
real danger of catching cold comes
upon the return into warm room.
As a matter of fact, many physicians
hold to the belief that the stimulation
of the circulation and nerves caused
by a warm room often prevents Il per-
son from catching cold when going into
q temperature that is in the neighbor.
hood of zero. The danger rather
comes in the sudden rush of a person,
chilled by intense cold, into all excess
lively warm room. If vestibule or
waiting room were maintained in most
houses at a temperature of about 90
to IS degrees, and a pause were made
there after coming in from walk in
the winter air, colds would not be SO
frequent in this country.
The suggestion is worth needing,
and it is of special Importance to teach
the children the danger of rushing di-
rectly from the cold outdoor air to
warm fingers and toes over hot stove
or open CRATE.

Nor THE SAME GENEsIs.-A well
known divinity professor, grave and
learned man, had five daughters, whom
his students irreverently named "Gen-
esis," Exodus" Numbers" "Leviti-
Gus" and deuteronomy"
Beginning his lecture one day, the
professor said, "Gentlemen, / wish to
speak to you about the age of Genesis" "
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
"Genesis is not so old as you may
suppose" continued the professor.
More roars-so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time to
think before he made the next remark.
He said timidly-and he managed to
hit the mark this time:

VALUE OF WooD AsHEs.-When
wood ashes are applied lime is unnec.
essary, as every 100 pounds of wood
ashes contain about 40 pounds Of lime.
Ashes vary greatly, as they are produ'

sorb moisture, and their composition
cannot be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable ill.,
gredient in ashes is potash, the pro.
portion being about six pounds 10
every 100 pounds of wood ashes.
Ashes also contain about 2 per cent. of
phosphoric acid and about 3 per cent.
of magnesia. Coal ashes are of but
