ana there is no doubt that few whiffs
VIII nelp a headache and sometimes
completely cure it. And now roses
are advocated for many of the aches
ana pains of life which frequently
arise from overweight or disordered
nerves.
1t has been discovered that the rose
Will cure headache. It's perfume
acts as a medicine upon the nerves.
It's color-particularly if deep red
soothes the senses through the eyes.
and It's cleanliness and medicinal
properties generally act upon the sys-
tenn not only as curative but as a
tonic.
The sweeter the rose is, the better,
for the sweetness of this flower is Of
such peculiar delicacy that it neither
clogs upon the nostrils nor pals upon
the senses. Other flowers with heavy
scent make one languid. But the
rose is invigorating; and it is known
now that the concentrated rose-that
not ~1% nsr
roses in great quantities-will GER
tainly act upon the person as though
he or she had been famed by
breeze.
The rose curist asserts that il the
scent is inhaled directly from the very
heart of the flower it is more bel eff
Cial to the patient than though it were
inhaled at long distance through an
essence or an extract. There are diff
ferent ways of administering the rose
medicine. The patient can make
pillow of roses; on this she should lay
her head, taking care that half a
dozen of the blooms are so arranged
that they point toward the face. In
this attitude her nose and mouth are
buried in their sweetness. The idea
is to go to sleep on bed of roses
when you wake up your headache will
be cured.
The best rose is the garden rose
as it retains it's red rose scent with
cut having lost anything by being cul-
tivated.
One of the rose treatments is
through the eyes, for the nervous man
or woman-people who cannot endure
the sight of blood, who cannot see
suffering, whom an injured animal will
unnerve for day Uncleanliness
and disorder that strike upon the
sight act upon them as though they
had had a fit of sickness. An unhappy
combination of colors will frequently
affect the nerves and produce head
ache. When people are as sensitive
as this they can be cured by the color
treatment, and this color cure is now
actively in operation in many places
When undergoing a severe nervous
strain it is a good plan to take rose
and hold it to the nostrils; breathe
deeply of the scent.-London Express.

For Breaking Corn Stalks

When the ground is frozen hard, If
the land is not too billy or rough, the
breaking Of the corn stubble Is not diff
ficult If the farmer has the proper Inn
plements For those living handy to
a railway, 1t is good plan to buy an
old rail or part Of rail discarded from
the track. About four feet from each
end of it hole Is drilled through the
narrow part. A chain Is attached at
each hole by a bolt or hook, and the
chains being brought together at the
other end, ring is attached, to which
three horses are hitched. The chains
may be attached without drilling holes,
IL iron rods of suitable Size be heated
and bent round the rail at the proper
places, so as to form eyes or hooks.
Another good stalk breaker may be
made by selecting a wooden pole Of as
uniform diameter as possible and long
enough to break five or seven rows OF
stalks. After ascertaining the center
of gravity by balancing over log or
some like object, cut notches at 37a or
feet on each side Of this center.

"While not participant in any bat
tie during the war;" says an old news
paper man, II had a very uncomfort-
able time as an involuntary member OF
a cavalry troop. In 1868 there was
a cavalry camp and corral of horses
near Giesboro Point, several thousand
of the latter being in the enclosure.
One night the animals stampeded,
breaking down the fences, and in
droves spread over much OF lower
Maryland News of this reached me,
and, being we'll acquainted with some
of the officers there, l made my way
to the place. 1t being Saturday, l
intended. besides writing one or two
paragraphs for that date, to get the
material for an extended account with
the scenes and incidents for a future
issue. At the offices l got few facts
and wrote short account, which L
sent to the Office by boat. Some OF the
officers and clerks commenced to give
some particulars, when one suggested
that I take one of the horses and ride
to the scene, a couple of miles further
down. There were perhaps a dozen
cavalry horses hitched to the rack, and
being but a poor rider at best was
rather slow in selecting my steed. put
made the mistake of choosing one De-
cause he looked like an old, steady
beast.
For some distance after mounting
the animal he logged along pleasantly.
At length we came to field to the
right of the road where company was
being drilled. The sound OF Dugie
was heard, and ere l could gather the
reins nv old horse had galloped to
the left of the line. Another bugle
blast set the line in motion in a trot
nv twos, and still another changed II
to a company front and gallop. There

bride and pommel, expecting every
minute to be, thrown of. Then the
bugle sounded halt, and every moon

somewhere on the horses back OF

Hints for Housewives.


Apples, like tomatoes, can be more
quickly and easily peeled by pouring
boiling water over them and allowing
them to stand in the water five min
utes.
Furniture brushes are an essential
clothes brush Is the best for silk or
plush furniture, as it does not fray the
fabric like a whisk broom.
If coffee is spilled on linen the stains
can be removed by soaking the part
In clear cold water, to which a little
borax has been added, for twelve
hours.
One-half of an egg will clear the cof-
fee for family Of five or six as well
as a whole egg. Beat the egg and add
an equal quantity Of water. Mix this
with the amount of coffee required for
one meal and pour the boiling water
over it.
In these days when hardwood floors
are In such general use broom bags
form an important accessory Of a
housewives closet. Heavy canton
flannel is most suitable for them, or
any old flannel garments can be en-
ployed to make them, especially the
eiderdown variety. They should be
sewed down on the sides, the top hem
med and a tape sewed equally on enc
side. 1t should be long enough to 60
around the handle of the broom seVe
erai times.

Profit and Los. Accounts.

In a majority Of cases the farmer
who wishes he were in the class OF the
eminently successful will find that ne
has neglected entirely the important
matter of keeping books. Now, keep
Ing books consists not merely In max
Ing a rigid account of household ex-
penses. Important as this Is, 1t may
much better be omitted than may those
accounts which show how much a
product costs to produce it and mar
ket 1t and how much was received FOR
II. Such a record will necessarily
show the dates Of all that is done on
the farm. This record OF dates Is In
itself most valuable.-Kansas Farmer.

1t is often possible to buy a good
sponge at sales If the purchaser will
be content with one rather dark in col
or, as these, even if good in texture,
will never fetch high price. Always
avoid the light, glaringly yellow
sponges, which have been bleached by
sulphurous acid, and are thoroughly
rotten in consequence. If you would
prolong the life Of sponge and keep
1t in a wholesome condition - many
people would be surprised to learn
how rare this is-always rinse 1t out
in a good supply of cold water after
using with soap. If the sponge be-
comes at all greasy or Shiny, allow
1t to soak in salt and water, and once
month wash it in weak solution
Of Condy's fluid, which will thorough
ly disinfect and cleanse the sponge

These are so often hard in the yolk
while the white Is uncooked that a
word as to the right way to fry eggs
may not be amiss, although many
housewives may be already instructed.
The reason why fried eggs are so rare
ly satisfactory is because the heat Of
the pan at bottom cooks them while
the top Is still raw. They must al
ways be fried in fat enough to basic
them; tilt the pan little and with q
spoon pour the boiling fat over each
egg in turn, till they have a white
surface like poached eggs. They should
not be in the pan over three minutes.
and the basting begin as soon as they
are slipped into 1t. The pan and fat
of course must be very hot. In this
way the fat cooks the surface and
they are much easier to lift without
breaking.

A good old-fashioned dessert to serve
after parsnip stew Is baked Indian
pudding. If made right, when taken
from the oven it will CULVER and be

The old way that has never been Inn
proved upon was to bring quass or
milk to boil In an iron pot, and then
to add to it about one and one-half
eupfuls finely graduated meal, hold
ting the meal high In the left hand and
sprinkling slowly, stirring constantly
meanwhile with the right hand. When
this has thtckened and cooled little,
two teaspoonfuls Of ginger, three-quar-
tiers Of a cup of mo1asses and half a
teaspoonful Of salt were stirred In.
and the mixture was beaten smooth.
The pudding dish, which in old days
was Of stoneware tall and ffarfng at
the top, was then thoroughly creased,
the batter poured in and quart Of
cold milk turned In last. After this
addition but little stirring was done,
and the batter should be about as thin
as a pancake batter. Bake four or five
hours in a slow, steady oven, remem-
bering that the slower the oven the
more delicious the pudding. Serve
with cream or hard sauce.
