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.

If it pays to import sheep from
abroad in order to improve our breeds,
ono would imngiue it would also pay
the sheep-raiser to study tho process
by which these sheep have been raised
to tueir present state of excellence.
Ono of tho most potent factors ha
been the food; A mixed ration should
be supplied in which roots play tho
most important part. Sugar beets,
mangolds, rutabagas and turnips are
all of great value to the flock, and
crops of them should be sowed and
harvested regularly, if we would make

8C.nBY I.EOS AMONG CAOE BIRDS.
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

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

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

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.

THE IRONING OrTFTT.
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

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

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. Boatojn Globe.

cul use of "cold water" as a beverage, nnd
as saying that it will prov the means of
augmenting tho chance of longevity that it
is ota soundly physiological origin, and is
well supportod by experience. 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

inerolore the enlightened Christian will
have a part ot his working creed in these en
lightened days, this prayer:
"Oh, froedom, deepen thou a grave,
Where every king and every slave

Till only man remnln."
Whoever laughs at a total alistalner shows
himself lacking in a clear mind as well as a
good heart, for to take such a precaution on
one's account as a matter of prudence is
suruly oonformuble to reason, and to lake it
in order to make it easier for others to do
the same is conformable to the (ioldcn Itulo
and the highest dictutivs of brotherhood.
J he world owes no man a living, but It
does owe him tho work by which he may
live In a helpful and honorable fashion.
We shall reap what we have sown, and we
must sow the principles of brotherhood if
we would reap the socialism ot the Oospel.
If we have any Justice It behooves us to
look into tho cause, and not deal forever

TJtE HKJIIKST AWARD.
Royal llaKlns; Powder has all the
Honors In Strength and Value 20
per cent, above Its Nearest Com
petitor. The Royal Raking Towdor lias the
enviable record of having recoivod tho
higjii'st award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingre
dients, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competion with
others. In the exhibitions of former
venr, nt tho (Vutonnial, at Paris,
Vienna and at the various Stnto and
Industrial, fairs, where it has been ex
hibited, judges havo iuvariably award
ed tho Royal linking Powder tho high
est honors.
At the recent World's Fair tho cx
niuination for tho baking powder
mrards wero directed by the chief
chemist of tho Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. Tho chief chem
ist's oflieial report of tho tests of the
baking powders, which was made for
tho specific, purpose, of ascertaining
which was tho best, shows tho leaven
ing strength of tho Royal to bo KM)
cubio inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. Of the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, tho next
highest in strength' tested contained
but l.'M cubio inches of leavening gas.
Tho other powders gave an average, of
111. Tho Royal, therefore, was found
of twenty per cent, greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
nnd forty-four per cent, above tho
average- of all tho other testR. Its
superiority in other respectR, however,
iu the quality of tho food it makes as
to fineness, delicacy and wholesonio
ncsH, could nut bo measured by fig
ures. It is tlicao high qualities, known and
appreciated by tho women of tho coun
try for so ninny years, that have
caused tho miles of tho Royal Raking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex
ceed tho sale of all other baking pow-
uers combined.
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. Several years ago a
few of them were presented to a Rng
lish gentleman by the King tif Biani.
When tho tlsh is in a quiet state, with
the fins nt rest, tho dull colors are not
nt all remarkable. Rut if two nre
brought together or within sight of
each other, or even if one sees its own
image iu a looking glass, the littlo
creature becomes suddenly excitod.
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. Pitts
