When wi"ds prevail from any direc.

The essentials in making a good gar.

Having the soil In good tilth and

One Of the best ways OF getting rid of

of trees is an application of lime white

An Unconccrncd Mother.

Old American Bottles.

In early American glassware the his
tory of our national art progress has
been written. Choice and precious in
deed are the crude blue green and
brown amber bottles made early in the
nineteenth century, the portrait bottles
bearing busts Of Washington, Franklin,
Lafayette, De Witt Clinton, Zachary
Taylor, Kossuth and Jenny Lind. Lo-
cal decorative subjects on many lines
of ideas were treated by the first Amer
lean bottle makers, and the most ex-

CITIES HARD TO KILL.

and London Have suffered.
1t is a difficult thing TO kill n city,
and there are some well known places
that have so much vitality that they
will survive any number of disasters.
Take Rome as n first example. No
fewer than ten times has she been
swept by pestllence. She has been
burned twice and starved ,dt on six
occasions. Seven times she has been
5esicged or bombarded. But she still
llourishes. Perhaps that is why she is
called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sleges, ten fam
ines, two plaques and one fire which
to the number of revolutions, as they
are too numerous to mention. But Par
is still ilourishes.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and five sleges, There are
the sultans have been as bad for the
city as any pestilence And yet she
goes on.
Lastly there is the English metropo
lis. London began as kind Of mound
In swamp. In her early history she
was sacked, burned and all her inhab-
itants butchered. She has been deci.
mated by plague Eve times, exclusive
Of typhus. cholera and such maladies.
She has been more or less burned sew
en- times. She is thriving in spite of all.

DR.. Kellogg continues: "In Germany
and France it is the custom to admins.
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in cold bath. Some prac-
titioners, us Winternitz, administer but
very small amount, Il single mouthful
of wine. for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwlsdom of this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration of the fol.
lowing facts:
zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure u true stimulant
or tonic effect by nrousing the vital
energies through excitation of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup.
posed to he capable Of effecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty:
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. AT the present
time, however, 1t is well known, and
with practical unanimity admitted
that alcohol Is neither a tonic nor a
stimulant. but narcotic; that it de-
presses and does not excite: that it
lessers and does not increase the &C.
tivity Of the nerve centers. and that
this is true of small as well as large
doses. as has been shown by the re-
searches Of careful investigators."-

Alas for her disllusionment! She

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER is
MADE,

The Health department of New
York has seized quantity of So
called cheap baking powder, which 1t
found in that city. Attention was
attracted to 1t by the low price at
which 1t was being sold in the depart
ment stores. Samples were taken
and the chemist of the Health de-
partment reported the stuff to be ''an
alum powder" which analysis showed
to be composed chiefly of alum and
pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thous-
and pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed.
1t Is unsafe to experiment with
these so-called cheap articles of
food. They are sure to be made from
alum, rock, or other injurious mat
ter. In baking powders, the high
class, cream of tartar brands are the
most economical, because they go far
ther in use aud are healthful beyond
question.

Ing almost to superstition that alco-

weak. Wlnternltz. the great authority
on hyGrotherapy in Germany, has
often told us Of the very great value
of cold as heart stlmulant or tonic
and that it Is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
THE application consists of a COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the right border of the
sternun, line falling half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be-
large enough to cover this space ana
to extend at least two inches outside
of 1t. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at n
temperature OF about 90 degrees. The
compress should be wruny moderately
