Frederic Remington, iu Harper. Vetrolenm lor Diphtheria. In the villngo of Xeuville-Champ-d'Oisel, about nine miles from Rouen, France, o malignant type of diphtheria broko out last year The country doctor, M. Frederic Flahaut, treated the cases in the usual way, but the deaths were numerous. Remembering, as he says, that the English uso petro leum as an anti-spasmodic and an anti septic, he determined to try it as an experiment. His first trial was in the case of a little girl seven years old. He had al ready given her up and proposed to the parents to make tho experiment, which consisted in swabbing the throat . with common petroleum. He had little hope of the success of his new method, but to his astonishment ho noticed an improvement after the first application. He continued the treat ment and the child recovered. Then he tried it successfully with his other patients. This year he hid forty cases of diph theria to treat, and he was successful in every one. hi order to be perfectly sure that the jiises iu ipiestiou wero ones of malignant diphtheria, he had the expectorated mutter submitted to the analysis of I'rofessor Francois Hue of the Rouen College of Medicine, aud tho professor reported that ho had clearly discovered the presence iu it of numerous baccilli of diphtheria. Moreover, his diagnosis was confirmed by Drs. Leshaves, Lerefrit and Bailey of Rouen, the last named being tho physician-in-chief in that city. The treatment presents little -difficulty or danger. The swabbing is done every hour or every two hours, according to the thickness of tho mem branes, which become, as it were, diluted under the action of the petro leum. Tho brush, nfter being dipped in the petroleum, should be shaken to prevent any drops falling into the respiratory channels. The patients exjieiieure relief from the very first application. The disagreeable taste of tho petroleum remains for a few moments only. a How'aThtal We offer On Hundred Dollars Reward for ry raao of t atari h tUat cannot tw oured bj Uali s ( alarm C ur. F.

Tho cause of scabby feet and legs among canary nnd other cage birds is the same as among domestic fowls, that is, the presence of mites, which breed and live in the scabs or scales on the feet and legs. Tho development and multiplication of these pest is due to want of cleanliness and thorough clean ing of tho bird's cage. Your bird may have been infested with mites when you bought it, or they may have been in the cage, and from it reached the bird's legs and feet. To kill the mites and remove the scabs you have only to anoint tne Dim slegs and feot daily for perhaps a week with flowers of sulphur mixed to a tmn paste with common kerosene. Apply with a Boft hair pencil, merely painting the feet and legs with the mixture. The scabs will soon dron off and leave the feet clean. The cago and roosts should also be thoroughly cleaned with boiling hot water. ew lork Sun. IXtrnOVBD METHOD OP FATTENING FOWLS. Somo time ago a method of fatten ing poultry practiced amonrr the French was described in some of the American papers, its novelty giving interest to it. The method consisted iu forcing the food down the bird's throat bv means of a nine and a sort, of force pump, operated by the per son's foot, by which a certain quantity of the soft food was pushed into tho throat. Tho birds were confined in boxes in a large circulating frame, which was turned as needed to brinu ii , all the nests in turn in front nt thn machine for feeding. Nothing came of it, and probably the method has been abandoned by its inventor by tnis tune, 'lne method of fattening gee6e in Strasburcr. Germanv. for the sake of tho enormously large livers thus procured, is somewhat similar to this. The food is rolled into a sort of pill, long and narrow, and these aro pusneu aown tue tnroats ol tho birds, connneu in coops for tho purpose. This method has long been practiced and st ill exists for producing the laro-e livers, made so by disease, for the making of a very popular kind of pies called pates de foie eras. New York Times. ECONOMY OF TIME. It is n treat complaint with farmers that their time is wasted with una voidable accidents, as sick animals. escaped stock, insect pests, aud what not, writes Jiouise M. Fuller. It cer tainly is true that weather means more to the farmers than to anv other class. The weather must lift the mortgage on the farm, pay the taxes and feed and clothe the'fumily." The farmer must deal hand to huud with all the forces of nature as well as human na ture, and, however wisely, he cannot count hiB time like other men, or say positively what he will do on the mor row. Nevertheless, tho farmer's time is worth b.b much as any man's from a business point of view, because of the economy of nature, which secouds every honest effort at economy of time in her own way. I learned this by watching the way the best farmers work, and, noticing that, like nature, they ore never in a hurry, but they never lose any time ; they find somo use for every sort of weather. That weather which is too wet for anything else is good lor fence corners, which the thrifty farmer can never consent to lenve to their accidental fate of woods and briers. A town lot gives room enough for tho experimental proof of this theory. During the worst senson for ram that I ever saw. I managed to work my two honrs a day on all but one day outdoors. On that day seed stakes, etc., were pre pared indoors. I doubt if the time j ever came whou it was profitable to give up to complaining. While we aro bewailing something is sure to go un done. New York Tribune. BITTER BACTEKU'M. So far as the quantity of the butter is concerned, says Walter Thorp in London Dairy, our old friend, the luc ticacid bucterium, seems to be the chief if not tho only agent, but it dues not seem to bo directly concerned iu the production of tho butter flavor. Out of the many bacteria occurring in ripening cream Mtorch found only one species which was capable of produc ing the trim butter aroma; the rest produced titlior iudiflVri'Mt or bad flavors. Since only this hingle species from iiiiiong so many is capa'ule of giv ing to the butter such a flavor an we desire, the odds against its overcrowd ing the ret-t me very cniihidernlile, und we caiiuot wonder ut the difficulties of producing a high-chus butter, of uni formly agreeable flavor. If by culti vation of the bacterium, which is said to produce the true lluvur, we can in sure the suect-sB of our cream ripening as far as flavor is concerned by luoeu liitic.i! with this particdlur bacterium nt an early stage, then we ought to be able to produce cream of a uniform und proper degree of ripeness without difficulty. The bacterium found by Ktireh has been cultivated und m-.d in Home of the German cieamitiL-u, und it is dunned fur it that it iiiMir. a certainty iu the rebiiltisof the ripening. Ur. H. W. Colin, of the Wchleyun University, also claims to have found a micro-or-guiii.,in which produces the true but ter flavor, but the t ttult ol his experi- monts with it are not yet published. and there is a great deal of work to be done before we can attain tho practi cal results we are hoping for. THE CAM OF SEED FOTATOES. Successful growers of potatoes have learned that to insure a good crop the seed must be selected carefully the previous fall. Tho he-A results come from making the hills as they aro dug, choosing well-formed potatoes, free from scab or prongs and with smooth surfaces. Neither the very largo nor very small potatoes should bo taken. The first will bo misshapen, nnd the last will be apt to bo poorly ripened. Something depends on how the potato has been grown. If tho vines kept healthy until the crop of tubers was fully ripened, the very smallest make good seed. After selection the main point is to keep the seed at as low a temperature as possible without dan ger of frost. These conditions are best secured by keoping potatoes in dry out of doors pits. In onr Northern cli mate after tho covering of the pit has frozen over it will not thaw out again all winter. If there is danger of thaw ing too early, a covering of straw will maintain an even degree of tempera ture below freezing, whilo protecting the potatoes from too much cold. Tho tubers will como out with eyes as dor mant as when they-were put in the pit. The potatoes will be harder by evapo ration of their moisture, while those kept in cellars will bo made soft by starting of the eyes, which rapidly take out the substance needed to give the potato set its Brut start after being planted. Boston Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Never jerk or whip a colt. Old-fashioned perennials are coming in again. All weak qneenless colonies should be united with others. Pure cane sugar is one of the best foods for wintering bees. If honey is not sealed it is. liable to become thin and watery. It is a mistaken notion that all honey which candies is pure. Now is the time to barrel the road dust and keep it in a dry place. It is best not to winter your own cockerels for breeders, as a rule. By increasing tho yield per acre the cost of production is diminished. The number of eggs depends largely upon the amount of feed and care given. In raising a colt the feed should be liberal aud varied, but not excessive. A colt's education should begin when the animal is twenty-four hours old. The second year a hen only lavs half the number of eggs that she does tho first year. The ideal diet for poultry shonld bo neither too soft nor too hard, but a happy medium. New raspberry canes shonld be pinched back to induce throwing out side branches. When the cat and chickens lie down together the latter are always given the inside place. Because turkeys are good foragers it will not pay to let them go without proper feeding. One pound of cut meat and bone is considered the proper daily allowance lor sixteen nens. Anything in the vegetable line, pro vided it is sweet and clean, will form acceptable food. Colts should be handled with kind ness and may be halter-broken when four months old. Bran for chicks should always be scaldod and allowed to stand for a time iu order to soften. Quinces do well in either sandy or clay soils, the principal requirements being fertility and good tilth. Generally, tho smaller the farm the better the cultivation and the greater the profit for the expenditure. Figs should be taught to eat before being weaned, so as to make the chauge from milk to feed easily. It is not desirable to give too much red pepper and ginger to tho poultry. Once or twice a week is sufficient. A good breed is not alone sufficient to make money. Good care, good food nnd good quarters aro also neces sary. It is cheaper to make your stables warm than it is to supply your horses with the extra feed necessary to keep out tho cold occasioned by cracks in the stal le. For horses ensilage should lie used sparingly, as full feeding upon it sometimes induces colic, but it may be safely used to bo me extent in con nection with graiu and hay. Host IHct lor l oiisuuiptiTOS. The respiration apparatus invented by Professor Voit, of Germany, and recently received by tho Yule Medical School, is the first to come to America. Its purpose is to measure the oxygen absorbed by the body and the carbonic acid aud water given off. From the data thus obtained t'uo decomposition of the body can be determined, and the. decomposition, caused by tho di gestion of various kinds of foods com pared. Animals will be used for the first experiment. They will be placed in gluss cases after having been fed on particular kinds of food, and tho vari ation iu the oxygen, carbonic acid and water within the glass cases iu twenty four hours will be determined by means of the apparatus. From this relative values of the foods will b ob tained. It is hoped that the experiments will result iu the belection of diets that will prolong the lives of those suffering from consumption and other diseases. - New York World.

Whenever it is possible it is well to keep a separate closet for articles per- taming to lmuiug. neep tne irons, starch, bluing, holders, boards, sheet, blanket and other articles pertaining to ironing in this closet, which should be warm and dry and shut off from the dust. If the ironing-boards aro kept in a closet in gcnoral tiso, it i? best to put them in bags of bed-tick ing or somo other heavy, cotton, and Hang them up whore they will be free from dust and dirt. If they are kept in a closet reserved for tho ironing material they need not bo covered, Tubs and ironing-boards should bo kept in a cold place, and there is no objection to a little dampness. New lorn world. HOW TO BAKU BREAD. Half the failures with housekeepers in making good bread, are dno to their ignorance as to tho proper condition of the oven for baking. For, no matter now perfectly the sponge may rise or how well it is worked, if put in a cool oven it will be porous and tough, and liable to ferment and becouiesour. When bread is ready to bake, tho oven should be very hot, as the heat will cause it to rise at once almost double its former size. A good test for the inexperienced is to sprinkle a little flour on the bottom of the oven ; if it browns immediately tho bread can be safely set in. If bread is allowed to rise too much before setting in tho oven it is apt to fall aud rise again, by which it will become coarse. This can be prevented by working the bread done, adding fresh flour and molding in the pans; tho flour will keep the bread from souring, as it might do without it After a crust is formed on the bread, the oven should be allowed to moderate a little, and be kept at a regular hoat until the bread is done. When taken from tho pans tho loaves should bo placed, uncovered, in such a position as will expose the surface to the air. This will prevent the crust from being hard, as well as permit the rapid es cape of gas involved in rhe process ol fermentation. Ladies' Home Compan ion. RECIPES. Fried Cakes To make nice fried cakes which are free from grease, the following is excellent : One and one holf teacupfuls each of sugar and sour milk, two well beaten eggs, four table spoonfuls of melted butter, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonfnl of soda dissolved in a little water. Flavor with nntmeg. Mix all together and odd enough Hour to roll without sticking. Fry one-half lard and one-half tallow. To prepare the tallow, boil it in water until melted. Let it cool aud remove the tallow. Pound Cake One ponud of flour. one pound of sugar, 1 1 pounds of but ter, ten eggs, one nutmeg grated, one wineglass of rose water. Beat the butter and sugar together ; when it is perfectly light stir in the eggs, which must have been whisked to a thick froth ; add the flour, then the nutmeg and rosewater. Butter your pan, line it with paper, which should be well buttered, and pour in the mixture. Bake it for three hours in a moderate oven. When the edges of the cake appear to shrink from the sides of tho pau the cake will be done. French Rolls Take one-half pint of scalded milk and one yeast cake. Al low tnis to cool, then add one-half tablespoonful of butter (melted) and the same of lard, a tablespoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and a quart of sifted flour. Mix, and let this stand over night in a warm place. Knead hard in the morning, then roll it out about an inch thick. Spread this over with butter, and cut as if for biscuit, fold together, put them in a pan and let them rise again. They must be very light each time. Bake as you would biscuits. Unless you have a late breakfast it is difficult to serve these on time, but they aro very nice for dinner, and can bo warmed over for breakfast. If desired for dinner, set the sponge about lit. in, Macaroni a la Creme Break ono half pound of pipe macaroni into inch pieces, wash them thoroughly, and place in a farina boiler, with hot wa ter enough to cover the whole. After swelling out add one tablespoonful of salt, boil ten minutes and then drain off the water. Pour a large cup of sweet milk over it, and let it cook un til tender. Whilo the above is cook ing heat one cup of milk in a pipkin or porcelain-lined kettle until it boils. Thicken this with one teaspoonful of flour previously dissolved in oold wa ter ; stir in a tablespoonful of butter and lastly an egg. Mix all thoroughly together, and cook a few minutes un til it thickens, then diHh up the maca roni, pour tho sauco over it and serve. Tear and Merve. My medical friend explains: As the muhculur power that extends or flexes a finger is ut a dibtauce from the part moved, so the excitement to tears is from an irritation in a distant nervous center, and is removed when the nerv ous center is either soothed or ex hausted. The relief comes, not from the mere escape of tears, which is only a symptom, but from the cessation of tho storm in the nervous chain. If tho storm be calmed by soothing measures--as when we soothe a child thut is weepiug from fear, annoyance or injury--wo quiet the nervous cen ters, upon which the effect ceases. Iii children the soothing method suc ceeds, and sometimes it sneceeds in adults, although iu adults the cessa tion of tears is more con.uiouly due to actual exhauwtion following a period of uet vvus activity.

Dr. Dalton says that solid and dry as the human body appears, water constitutes more than one fourth Its bulk, and nil the functions of llfo are really can-led on in a water bath, nnd al- tnougn tue sense of thirst may be trusted to call for a draught of water wheu required, the lluld can be Imbibed advantageously for many reasons besides nierelv satisfying thirst.

Fishes Thnt Fight. So aggressive is tho plakat, a littlo fish from Hiam, that tho entertainment it affords has become a National pastime, but not a very creditable one, to say the least. The fishes are trained to go through regular battles, and aro reared art ideally for tho purpose, while tho license to exhibit them to the general public in formed out, and brings a lnrgo amount of money into the royal cotters. They arc kept in aquariums built for the purpose, and fed upon tho larvie of mosquitoes and every possible care taken of them.

The fins nre raised and tho whole body shinea with inctalio bistro aud colors of dazzling beauty, whilo tho protecting gill membrane, waving liko a black frill round tho throat, makes protesquo tho general appearance. In this stnto of irritation it makes re peated darts at its real or reflected an tagonist. If, now, two aro placed together in a tank they rush at each other with the utmost fury. Tho bat tle is kept on until one is killed or put to flight, but not until they aro en tirely separated does the victor nhut his gaudy tins, that, liko flags of war, are never lowered until peace has been declared. In South America thcro is a small fish that not only attacks its fellows of the sea and river, but is greatly dreaded by tho natives, who, (luring certnin seasons, havo to ford tho streams iu which tho carbites is found. Bathers nre often attacked by them, tho bharp, chisel-shaped teeth taking a bit from the flesh wherever they attack. They are perfect scavengers, eating tho ani mals that float down tho river.
