FOWLS during the molting season
need some tonic, the best of which is
tincture of iron, mixing a few drops
with the water they drink. Assafoeti
da, garlic and onions are good stimu
lants for the lungs and digestion.
Cayenne pepper and 1 gemian
are also good. Charcoal broken in r o
small bits is a great purifier of the
blood; sulphur is useful but needs
osre. It kills insects, but Is liable to
hurt your chickens If used too freely.
Insect powder is safer. The American
Poultry World gives a receipt as fol
lows: "For chicken powder, four
ounces each of copperas, cayenne pep
per, sulphur and rosin; pulverise and
mix; two spoonfuls for a dozen fowls
given twice a week. Coal oil. if right
ly used, is of value to the poultry
keeper, The perohes may be sprinkled
with it, and also the ne>t}. But ir
must not be put where it will touch
the egg m the nest, or bodies of the
hens, lor then It does harm, being too
strong. It for instance, eggs are cov
ered with coal oil, their vi&lity Is said
to be destroyed entirely.

A §OR RESPONDENT hands us the fol
lowing method of preparing sugar tor
leading bees : To four quarts of white
sugar add one quart of boiling water;
heat over a brisk fire, stirring all the
t'me until it bolls about five minutes.
Remove from the fire and set the dish
i n a basin ol cold water, and stir
I riskly until it btgins to get white
snd creamy. Now pour on plates and
let the sugar cool In large cakes. It
it does not crystillize by stirring,
there is too much water in it, and you
will have to put it back on the stove
and boil for a few minutes again.
When you have got your cakes ol cool,
hard candy, put ihem on the
over the bees.
FOR scours in catt'e change the food
and water. Give first a quart of Jard
oil with two ounces of laudanum.
After three to four hours give two
ounces each of powdered catechu,'gin
ger and gentian In a pint of flaxseed
tea to cattle under two years old and
over nine months; and on< -fourth to
one third the cose to youDger stock,
repeating the dose twice daily, and
withholding it aa soon as toe dis
cbarges dimii ih. Give nourishing
food and flaxseed tea to drink. Jn
chrcnic diarrhc oea give morning auu
evening one drachm ot ainmou ated
sulpha e ol copper, dissolved iu half a

TOBACCO stalks should be saved, but
should not be allowed to dry before
btlng covered up with nanure or
muck. Before being covered it is
best to cut them into snort pieces, the n
put a layer oi muck or manure on the
ground about 6ix inches thfek, then a
layer of stalks about the same thick
ness, continuing this method until all
the stalks are used. They will soon
begin to ferment and result will be
that from an acre of tobaeoo you will
get a cord of the best kind of manure.

Atlantic City at Tills Tims of Tear.
Physicians have been sending their
patients to Atlantic City in winter time for
the past twenty years. At first but few, the
number gradually but steadily increasing,
until within the last few years the travel
has reached such proportions that express
trains between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City are run the year through, and the hotels
—most of which are furnished and con
ducted in the most elegant manner—are
crowded not only with invalids, but many
who have realized the fact that 'old ocean'
is ever the same, in winter and sum ne~,
and that the change of air is just as beLe.
ficial and enjoyable at this season of the
year as in the midsummer days. Nervctn,
dyspeptic, gouty, rheumatic and various
other chrome ailments, which are usua l/
benefited there in sumsuer, and for which
that resort has become famous, are founl
to be equally benefited in winter, and con
valescents from acute diseases or from
surgical operations nearly always improve
remarkably on being removed from the
large cities. Many cases of incipient
phthisis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, and
laryngitis have been either vastly improved
or permanently benefited by a sojourn at
Atlantic City.
The tonic and alterative properties of the
air, acting by the improvement of diges
tion and nutrition, and the promotion of
sleep, go far to accomplish great good in
restor.ng health and vigor.
Atlantic Ctty, unlike mo3t sea-shore re
sorts, is not only a city in name, but in
fact, the population of permanent residents
being about six thousand, and the improve
ments embracing most or the conveniences
m the way of street cars, gas, water, good
stores, markets, &c., that are enjoyed by
the reuieLti of larger cities.
Not only is the visitor surrounded by all
these advantages, but the frequent trains
and convenience of access to and from
Philadelphia (being but ninety minutes'
ride) bring it as near thereto almost as
though within its limits. In fact, it is the
most accessible to the New Eagland and
Middle States of any place having claims
as a winter resort, and admitting of out
door exercise for most invalids the whole
year tnrough.
'l'he favorite route between Philadelphia
and Atlantic City is via West Jersey Rail
road, which is operated by the Pennsyl
vania Rai r-icd Company; and passengers
via this line will fiud the tame high stand
ard of appointments and the same clo e
attention to tnose de a Id so ess ntial to the
perfect comfort and enjoyment of the
traveler, that are such marked features of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. This, in con
nection with the natural advantages pos
sessed by the West Jersey Railroad, such
as traversing the choices scenic portions of
Southern New Jersey,being noaceibiy free
from dust, and having its termini in the
cen ire of the respective cities (the Phila
delphia station being at the foot of M rktt
street, within a short walk of'the business
centre, and the station at Atlantic City on
Atlantic avenue, between New York and
Tennessee avenues), has already placed the
new route in the front rank of popular
favor.
DOMESTIC.
BREATHE THROUGH THE NOSE.— In
<*old wea'ner the roundabout coursi of
the air through the narrow nostrils,
warms it somewhat betore it strikes
the larynx, who*© surpassing delicacy
o! construction renders it peculiarly
liable to harm. Many a case of in
flamed tonsils, layux, or lungs, is due
to breathing through the mouth and
not through the nose. The best medi
cal authorities now assures us that the
serious harm which so often results
from nasal catarrh, is caused, not by
nv "dropping" of diseased mucus
from the head, but by tlio simple fact,
that the usual passages being swollen
and partially closed, the person
breathes only through the mouth.
Whenever the air is loaded with lu
te, ton —la sick rooms; in the open
lr, during the prevalence of epidem
ics, in malarial districts, espem illy at
night, when the sytem is especially
•table to be affjoted, in the o irs an 1
all crowded gatherings, lor we never
know when mere are infected persons
present—the rule should be observed,
t J breathe ilirougu the nose, ferrous
who do so are lets likely to take dls
eise. The morbid particles are quite
likely to lodge on me moist sides of
the nasal aud thence to be
washedoui. Wuen the air is ioadid
with dun—when sweeping rooms,
bea log carpets, sifting ashes, shovel
ing coal, facing coals of dust in me
street, tilling irou and other uietals as
a business, and wiring In various
kinds 01 mills —It is exceedingly im
portant that the rule be observed. One
mould train himself to sleep with
closed iiiouth. For this purpose, he
should avoid lying ou his back, iu
which posture the mouth Is much more
likely to opeu thau lu any other posi
tion of the body. Tue danger is in
creased by ihu mouth becoming dry,
aud thus less able to arrest the parti
cles ol duster any fiua'.ing miasms.
LEAF RHOTOORAFNS —A simple and
eflectivc method ot taking leaf photos
is as follows: Procure a few cents
worth of bi-chrotuate of potash, with
which make B saturated solution. Pour
some of the char liquid into a shallow
dish and on It float a p'eoe of letter
paper till lc Is thoroughly and evenly
moistened, placing it in the dark to
dry, when it should appear of a bright
yellow color. On this place the fern
or any other kind of leaf desired;
under it, a pieoe of soft black cloth
aud some folds of newsnaper. Place
this between two pines of glass and
secure with clamps (spring clothes
plus will answei). Expose to a bright
glaring sunstiiue; with the rays fall
ing Ms neaily in a perpendicular as
possible, it will soon beglu to turn
brown, and, in a lew hours, a perfect
snd dark Impression will be obtained,
when it may be removed lrom the
irsme and placed in clear water,which
must be chaugo 1 every few minutes,
till the ytlU.w parti bioomea perfectly
white, borne units the figures wi Ibe
periect every velu aud mark distinct;
and these photographs are most in
teresting and beauiilul when collect
ed in a book.
To KEEP UNOCCUPIED ROOMS DRY.
—lt occurs with many people that
they have to leave their houses for a
time, either in summer or winter,dur
ii.g which period, especially in damp
seasons, not only the furniture, but
also the walls and the paper ou them
are liable to get damaged by the moist
ure in thd atmosphere. This can be
avoided in a simple manner. Before
leaving the house the rooms contain
ing furniture ought to be well fasten
ed up, to exclude as much of the outer
sir as possible; a dish with dry chlo
ride of lime should then be placed in
the middle of the apartment, and in
side another larger empty vessel, in
tended to receive tue water flowing
out of the former. The well-dried
chloride of lime has such an affinity
fov water that It will attract all the
moisture contained in the room and
keep the air perfeotly dry, so that no
harm can occur to either furniture,
books, paper, etc. Care must only be
taken to open doors and windows when
the apartments are to be oocupied, as
this dried air is not good for breath
ing.
To FASTEN CLOTH ON WOODEN SUR
FACES. —The following is said to be an
excellent method of fastening cloth to
the top ol tables or desks: Make a
mixture cf pounds of wheat flour,
2 tablespoom uis of powdered rosin
and 2 tablespoonfuls of powdered
alum: rub the mixture in & suitable
vessel.with Water,to a uniform smooth
jas e; trasler this to a small kettle
over a fire and cook. There must be
no lumps. When the mass has be
come so stiff that the stirrer remains
upright iu it, remove it to another
vessel and cover tightly that no skin
collects upon the surl'a e. Apply the
paste ii. a very thin layer to the sur
face of the table, the cloth or leather
is then laid on and pressed upon n and
smoothed with a roller. The 6nds are
cut off alter dryiug. if leather is to
be fastened on, moisten first with wa
ter. The paste is then applied to the
table and the leather rubbed smooth.
LOBSTER SAUCE.— Add to half a pint
of drawn butter sauce the chopped
meat of the tail and claws of a lobster,
a pinch ol the coral which has been
previously dried in the ovesi and
pounded, a little sale and a little cay
enne pepper. The bits of lobster
should be about the size of & dime.
Sprinkle what is left of the pounded
coral over tne fish when served. Put
the fish over the fire In cold water,
with a little salt and vinegar in it.
Boil gently till done and drain tho
roughly.
SPATTER WORK LAMP SHADE —Cut
six flaps out of white tissue paper.llne
with light green paper of the same
kind. Make a vandyked border of
white glossy paper, and paste on the
flaps. The top consists ol two hexa
gons made ol cardboard, covered with
moire paper. The lisps are fastened
between the two top hexagons. Care
must be taken to employ the colors lor
the spatter v\ork as ury as possible, so
as to prevent their running on the
tissue paper. The shaped leaves or
flips must be arranged not to lie one
above the oiher,as this would Interfere
with the transparency.
PIGEONS ON IOASI —Split some
young pigeons do wn the back, wipe
them, season with pepper and salt,rub
with butter,spnnkielightly with flour
and broil over a clear fire. Toast
some meat, thin slices of biead, butter
them thickly, ind put a pigeon OH each
slice, arranging about them some
sprigs of the fine watercress.
CRACKS in stoves may be effectually
stepped by paste made of ashes and
salt mixed with water.

to prolong it. Use, therefore, Dr. Bull's
Cough Syrup for Coughs, Colds, Bron*

To HEFT HAMS. —There aro a num
ber of modes given to keep haras
through the warm season free from
the attacks of insects. Some bag them
and whitewash the bags, which is
troubh some and somewhat expensive;
some cover them with dry wood ashes
and pack them In barrels; some pack
them in barrels and cover thoroughly
with pine shavings, but we think the
bestptau of all, and certainly the least
expensive with all who have a smoke
house, and every farmer should have
a good one, is to keep the hams hung
up in the smokehouse, which should
be kept perfectly dark at all times.
We have eaten hams so kept twe
years, and they were among the very
best we ever tasted. Uniterm dark
ness is a complete protection against
the attacks of insects.

In a paper recently read before the
French Academy of Sciences, Prof
Fort gave so mo startling instances of
the < fflcacy of artificial respiration. A
three year-old child had apparently
died, and was considered as having
passed over to the majority for three
and a half hours. At the end of that
tiiue Prof. Fort set up artificial res
piration and kept up the process for
tour hours, when the child returned to
life. A person had been under water
for 10 minutes, aud wa evidently
drowned. Dr. Fournol, of Billancourt,
however, after four hours of labor,
managed to mukc natural succeed arti
ficial breathing, ami so reanimated his
patient. In some instances artificial
respiration will be found of great t* 111-
oacy in removing pois >n from the
lungs and glands. In any c tse of as
phyxia hope should not be abandoned
until hours of trial ot artificial respira
tion gives no encouraging result.

Haying had numberless Inquiries fo*
advertising cards from ladies in all
parts ol the country who are Interest*
ed In the prevailing fashion of making
"Card Collections," we are having
printed for them a set ot seven beauti
ful cards, each in six colors and on a
gold background, in the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages of Man," We have spared
no expense in these oards—they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest oards yet
shown. Applications tor them have
come in so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition Is engaged before the
receipt by us of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the.following plan for the dis
tribution of the remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakspeare oards, seven m
the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of a statement from a grocer
that the person applying for the sards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobbins' Kiectrlo Soap,
with price paid for same. Alt apply
ing in this manner %oill receive this lull
set of seven cards grata by mail. This
will insure us lhai our friends and pa
trons get their share of these beautiful
designs, although it in no manner re
pays us for the cost of the oards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get it, ai.d
tue purchase by you of seven bars of
it at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and is an article of
necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked to buy a
useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. .Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections," to
do the same. Urocers do not have the
cards to deliver. Buy the soap ot tkem,
send us their bill, aud tee will mall you
the cards free. Yours respectfully,

How to Keep Apples. —Apples are
now abundant on many farms, and all
can still obtain them cheaply. Bat
they will soon begin to dteay, unless
they are good keepers and great care
be exercised —such care as few can
give. An experienced matron, of
much skill, in response to a request
from the American Agriculturist sup
plies the following: We keep our Ap
ples in the coolest and dryest place we
can, where they will barely escape
freezing. I have them looked over
frequently, and take out every one at
all likely to decay, because of its kind,
or from bruises, and preserve these
either in the forui ot apple sauce or
apple jelly.
