Hashed BROWN Potntoes.

There are two ways of preparing
these. One method is to hash them In
cream sauce and bake in the oven. The
favorite way, however, for breakfast is
to boil potatoes in their skins until
they are just tender and no longer, peel
them and when cold chop very fine, sea-
soning to taste with salt and pepper.
Put little butter in a frying pan, and
when hot put in the hashed potatoes,
packing them down smoothly; then
place on the range, when they will cook
slowly for fifteen or twenty minutes.
Do not stir them. When nice brown
color on the bottom and dry and foury
looking on top, they are done. Fold
them over carefully, like an omelet,
turn out on hot plate and garnish
with parsley and grilled tomatoes.

Watery Eyes.-Relief may be obtain
ed by bathing the eyes several times a
day with wash consisting Of ten
grains Of pure borax and two ounces
Of camphor water.
Rheumatic Knee.-Try salicylate of
soda, five drains; tncture Of nux vom-
lea, three drains, and essence Of pepsin
enough to make four ounces. The dose
for an adult is one teaspoonful every
two or three hours.
Superfluous Hair.-A growth of hair
Is annoying to girl who wears short
sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and
electrolysis, the only sure cure Is an
expensive treatment. To minimize the
trouble dark hairs may be bleached.
Wash the arms with weak solution of
ammonia and water. Then pour lit
tie peroxide Of hydrogen in the water
and apply with piece of linen. The
bleaching process will have to be re-
peated from time to time, but peroxide
Is harmless to the skin.
Nasal Catarrh.-In the treatment of
this persistent and often intractable dis
order, good results have been obtained
by the internal administration FIVE or
six times each day of one-half teaspoon
full doses in One-half ounce of water of
mixture Of one ounce of specific echin-
acea and two ounces of stillingia. The
| latter intensifies the action of echina-
cea in Its influence upon the mucous
surfaces. Tincture of gelsemium, two
drops every hour during the day, push
ed to physiological point, will abort
catarrhal cold! Three grains of salicy-
late of strontium, added to each dose,
reinforces it If rheumatism Is suspected.
Neuralgla.-If the neuralgia is in the
! right side Of the face the left hand
should be placed in basin of water as
hot as can be born; or If neuralgia Is
In the left side Of the face, then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. 1t Is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained in less than five
minutes. The two nerves which have
the greatest number of tactile endings
are the fifth and the medium nerve.
AS the fibers of these two nerves cross
any impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side Of the face,

affect the left side Of the face. This
