TAXING MEDICINE.
There Are Many Ways of Doing It, but
Only One Right Way.

action Of some liquids upon brass
creates a liquid that would be fatal If
taken Into the stomach A good rule
ls never to take medicine from any
thing made Of the eoarser metals
While pouring the medicine from
bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle
so that the label Is uppermost- This
VIII prevent the medicine pouring over
the label aud staining If not obliterat-
ing it. This precaution, especially In
the case of liquids that might be harm
full If taken by mistake or in the
wrong quantity. is Imperative.
Unless directions require you to take
medicines full strength. it is better to
dilute them half and half with water.
Never take doses larger than those
specified in the directions Better that
they be smaller.
Under no circumstances take medi-
cine in the dark. The reason is OBJ
vious. Read the frequent news Of
deaths of persons who have taken
poisons by mistake.
Be sure never to pour medicine back
into the bottle. Never fail to shake
the bottle before taking dose Of the
contents. If there be any sign of sedi-
ment. shake the more.
Unless directed otherwise You would
better take all capsules, pills or tab
lets with half glass Of water.
Never use a liniment near an open
fame. for a hniment usually contains
some combustible element Always
rub liniment into the skin until it is
nearly dry.
Be sure to brush the teeth after tax

cabbaaes as Real Estate.

Wonders never cease in American
law. Here comes judge In our own
state, trying the case OF man who
entered his neighbor's garden and
pinched head of cabbage. The Judge
decides that 1t was not larceny of per-
sonal property at all, and hence not
a basis of criminal action; but the
cabbage heads are real estate, and
that the neighbours remedy is to bring
a civil action contesting title. We
have eaten garden truck-spinach and
lettuce for instance-which tasted like
real estate. But we never knew be-
fore that to steal 1t was not theft. And
after a cabbage head is eaten what
good is the title? Now, II it had been
franchise or an election that was
stolen, it would have been less surpris-
ing in the law to let the culprit 60
free; but who would ever have thought
that the science of judicial hairsplit-
ting would finally be successfully In

Best Way to Open soils.

1t is exceedingly painful to touch =
boil. even when it is large enough to
open. A correspondent writes that
the best way to do this is to paint
a ring OF collodion, which can be pur-
chased in any drug store. around 1t,
being careful not to put any directly
over the boil. AS the alcohol evap-
crates the collodion in drying will ex-
ert gentle but firm pressure all
around the boil. not only opening It,
but forcing out its contents, which
should be absorbed by a perfectly
clean handkerchief or piece of ster>
ilized cotton.
