1 rr t ; f. I "EDITOIVS BACK STAIRS. 1 he Interesting Views of the Late Dr. J. U. Holland. The columns of the newspapers ap pear to be flooded with proprietary iuei!lcine advertisement. As we cast our eye over them, it brings to mind an article that was published by tbe lute Dr. Holland In Scrfbner's Monthly. lie says: ".Nevertheless, It Is a fact that many of the best proprietary tued. clues of the day were more suc cessful than many physicians, and most of them, it should be remembered era at first discovered or used in actual medical practice. When, bow ever, any shrewd person, knowing their virtue, aud forseeing their popularity, tit-cures aud advertises them, then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue w-ut out of them." U not this absurd? This great man appreciated the real ments of popular remedies, and the absurdity of those that derided them Lecatise public attention was called to li.e aiticle and the evidence of their cures. If the most noted physician o!n. md announce that be bad made a study of any certain organ or disease of tl.e body, or make his sign larger thau the code size, though be may Lave practiced medicine and been a leader in ail medical counsels. Dot with .-l.indUii all this, if he should presume to advr-uise aud decline to give bis dis covery to tbe public, he would be pro- ii.unc-d a quack aud a cuuioug, ai- though be may have spent his entire l.;e aud all his available funds in per let ting his Investigations. A;a;n we say. "absurd." If an ulcer is found upon one's arm. an 1 is cured by some dear old grand mother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical profession an u.ct of little importance. But if Irrutcd under the code, causing sleep- Iris iii -his for a niuntb, with the BcuiitUiO treatment, viz., piasters, washes, dosinsi with morphine, arsenic uu. I utt.t-r vile substances, given to iirwi.t blood poisoning or deaden .a:u, aii'l yet the ulcer becomes malig na!, i, and amputation is made neces sity at lasr, to save life, yet all dune uccoidiug to ihe "isms" of tbe medi cal c.ie, U.,s is much more gratifying to the medical profession, and adds u:.ro dignity to that distlnguisheO onle r thaa to be cured by the dear old kri'.iiidiuother'd remedy. ihis appears like a severe arraign ment, jet we believe that it expresses the u je standing of the medical pro-r-ssi..u m rrn.irl to lemedies discovered outside of their si-ecial "Isms." One cf the uiwi perplexing things of the day is tl.e. popularity of certain reme dies, especially Waruer's Safe Cure, which we lind for sale everywhere. The physician of the highest standing is ready to coLcede its merits and sus- ta.u the theories the proprietors nave wa.Io that is, that It beutiLJ 1U most of the ailments of the human eystem because: it assists in puttlug the kid neys in proper condition, thereby aiding iu throwing oil the impurities of tbe bi.md, whue others with less honesty ai. d experience deride, and are willing tj sd their patient die acieutitically, ai.d accord uu to the code, rather than Lave h'.ui cured by this great remedy. Y t we notice that the popularity of the ni. diciue continues to grow year by year. The discoverer comes boldly before the people with its merits, and proclaims them from door to door in our opinion much more honorably than the pl.i .-.iciiiu who, perchance, may seiMiie a patient fiom some catastrophe, and is permuted to set a bone of an aim or a tinker, which ba does with Kraut duuity, jet so very soon after lanes the libei ty to climb the editor's back st .Irs at 2 o'clock in tbe morning to have it announced in the morning piper that "iJr. vSo-and-ao was in at tendance, " thus securiug for bis benefit a beautiful and free advertisement. e shall leave it to our readers to sav which is the wiser and more honor ib'.e. eore WcMingUoua, Jan.

HOUSEHOLD. Salsiok Sandwiches. Broil quar ter ot a pound of smoked salmon over a slow fire, or use some that has been cooked and cooled, chop it until it forms a paste, or pound It smooth In a mortar, mix it with an equal quantity ot butter and use it instead of plain butter for sandwiches. One of the nicest methods of cutting sandwiches is to hold a loaf of bread firmly against tbe side with the left side and arm, and cut off tbe end crust smoothly, tben upon tbe cut end spread a thin layer of salmon butter, made as above, and cut a slice an eighth of an inch thick off tbe loaf, doubling or rolling it before laying it on the plate. A little careful practice will enable one to cut these slices nicely and rapidly. Fre pared with butler made with cold ham, tongue, poultry, meat or fish, these sandwiches are an excellent tea or lunch dish. Kioout Fickle, Two gallons ot sliced cabbage, one gallon of green tomatoes, twelve large onions chopped fine, one gallon good vmegar.one pound of brown sugar, one half ounce of tum eric powder, one tablespoonful ot ground allspice, one tablespoonful of cinnamon, one ounce of celery seed, one teaspoonfnl of gronnd doves, one quarter of a pound of white mustard, salt to tbe taste. Some persons like the addition of three green peppers chopped fine, without the seeds. Boll all together for three or four hours, untd quite tender, and to not add the spices until it is done. Heady to use as soon as it is cold. Egos are poached by dropping them raw from the broken shells into a pot of boiling water, lift them from the water in a perforated ladle, and do not let them remain long enough in tbe water for the whites to be made opaqae. Tbe beauty of a poached eg 8 Is the visibility of the yellow yolk as seen through tbe semi-transparent white envelope. Serve on slice of hot buttered toast, and lightly sprinkled with pepper, a poached erfg is must appetizing. Jn the spring of the year, as a top dressing to boiled greens ot any kind, eggs prepared this way are almost universally liked. SricED Onions. One quart of good apple vinegar, two cups ot sugar, one teaspoonf ul each of cloves, allspice and pepper. Slice some nice onions and put them in a gallon jar with Just a lit tle salt spi i ukled over each layer of ouions. Sca.d your vinegar with tbe spices and turn over your onions while hoU Let It stand twenty-lour neurs, drain eff. scald and turn over them again. They will be ready for the ta ble in three or four days and are nice with all kinds of meat. A most excei'.eut pudding Is mads by stewing oue pound of prunes until they are so tender ttiat the stones may be removed wl'.bout d ftijulty. Take one quart of sweet uulk and subtract a teacupful; into th's stir enough flour to make it like thick paste, then mix it with the rest ot the milk ; beat four eggs very light and add, and lastly s.ir in the prunes, over which you have first sifted a little flour. 1h.1 or steam for two hours. Serve hot. with some highly flavored sauce; vanilla or wine sauce is preferred. A eooD relish to take with a lunch is made of bam. round some pieces of bam in a mortar. Just as One as you can. Season it with pepper and spice, and moisten it with clarified butter. Put this into a moid, or earthen bowl. and press it in very tightly. Put it into tbe oven for half an hour. Let I', get perfectly cold. It can then be cut into tbin slices. It is nice if used for a filling for sandwiches. That plush may be cleaned is a fact of interest; children's plush coats that have become so led on tbe front can be softly and delicately sponged with a little borax and water without injury: a teaspoonful of powdered borax to nearly a quart of water is tbe proper proportion; use a very soft sponge, aud. by the way, a sponge may be softened by bolbng it in clear water; tben take it out and rinse it in several waters. If not softened sufficiently repeat the boil ing and rinsing process. A drink that is truly refreshing fot one suffering from sore throat or cold is made by pouring a quart of boiling water over a carefully washed handful of Irish moss. Iet it stand until the water Is cool, then strain through a muslin bag, add sugar and lemon juice, with a few thin slices of lemon, until It is about like lemonade; a little cinna mon is considered an addition by some people. Tea Cake. One pound of flour, half a pound of butter, oue nutmeg.one eeg. one teaspoonful of saleratus dis solved In a cup of sour cream. Hub together the butter and sugar and flour. Roll out and cut Into rounds, dredging sugar over them before baking. Bake in a good oven. Vert rich fritters are made of one and one half pints of flour, tbe yolks of four eggs, two small teadpooufuls of basing powder, butter the size or a large hickory nut, salt to taste, with enough milk to make a thick batter, fry in lard that is heated to the boiling point. A rule for plainer ones may be wished for also. Two eggs, one cup of sweet milk, a little salt, flour enough to make a stiff batter. These are nice with maple syrup. A handsome low screen la made by painting a large cardboard a sky-blue, tben painting a spray ot daisies and clover blossoms on it. Tben set this in a frame of plush about an inch and a half wide, and tbls is to be placed In a light ebony frame with a standard. A OArole made of strong black tea and used cold, night and morning, is now tbe fashionable preventative In London against railing a victim to sore throat during the cold winds or spring and similar Void spells' at other times of the year. A little soda as well as salt is rec ommended to boil with cabbage, and affects tbe flavor agreeably. For one head of cabbage take a pinch of soda equal in bulk to a good sized pea. The simplest way to fumigate a room is to beat an Iron shovel very hot, and then pour vinegar upon it, drop by drop. The steam arising from tbls Is a disinfectant. Doors and windows should be opened that it may escape. Xot Found. Stranger, to cashier In restaurant Is the proprietor in? Cashier No, sir; he bas just gone out to get somethiLg to eat.

Eobert raolo considers that tbe gla ciers of tbe Alps were developed dar ing a period of a lower mean summer temperature than that or the present, and that they are retreating not so much, however, by cosmic or telluric causes as through meteorological changes depending partly on the pro longed action of man on the earth. Frofusor A'jrlorx estimates that tbe power wasted at Niagara Falls exceeds that which could be produced by the annual consumption of I3O.0UO.000 tons of coal. FARM KOTES. Keijevixo Choked Cattle. Southern Cultivator calls attention to a plan devised by Professor Bimouds, ot the Royal Veterinary College of England, for relieving cattle when choking. According to Pre lessor Elmonds "tbe amount of danger in cases of choking may be mostly calcu lated by tbe abdominal distention; for death results from the lungs being un able to expand, in consequeuce of the pressure ot tbe rumen against the dia phragm. In many cases prior to reliev ing the patient, tbe gaseous compounds which are disengaged from tbe luges ta and distend the rumen must be given an exit by puncturing the rumen to pievent suffocation. Two assistants tie required. One of these should be placed on either side of the animal, holding tbe handle of tbe gag. which protrudes from the site of the mouth, with one band, and tbe opposite born with the other. Tbe bead must also be kept elevated so as to bring it as nearly as possible In a straight line with tbe neck. Professor Simonds' instructions for operating are as follows: The probang being held thus Is to be passed through the opening in the gag and carried carefully over the dorsum of the tongue into the pharynx, aud from thence pushed Inward until it reaches tbe obstruction. Sufficient and well regulated pressure is now to be made untd tbe obstruction yields, when it is to be driven by the instrument into tbe rumen. Care should always be taken to propel tbe obstructing sub stance into the first stomach, and we should never rely on tbe power of tbe aejophagus to do this after we have suc ceeded In removing it from its original situation. Want of attention to this simple rule has often protracted suffer ing to the animal ard not unfrequently death. Tbe probangs in ordinary use are seldom of sufficient length, nor are the bulbs with which thryare tipud of a proper shape. The instrument should not be lees than six and a half feet long, aud tbe bulbs should be lare and slightly cup shaped. A Bet Sxukek.--Tobacco smokt Is death to lice. It Is also death to tht fowls if confined until the smoke it thick enough to kill the lice. Here li the description of a convenient suiokei which almost any one who is bandv with saw, hammer aud nails may con struct. Tbe smoker Is made in two compartments. The upper one for the fowl has a bo!e cut In oue side for the fowl's bead, and one in the floor to ad mit the smoke from below. A pan ol live coals is placed in the lower com partment, a handful of tobacco leaves or stems placed on them and the door closed. A few boles should be boreii m the door bear the bottom to ad mi. air. A sliding door on the back of tbe box is so constructed ti nt when opened for the purpose of li,serllug or taking out the fowl, it closes the bole which admits the smoke from below, aud when closed after putting iu another fowl the hole is opened aud admits the tmoke. We appreheml that tbis smoker can be uied to ereat advantage when a large number of bens are sitting. Another use to which such a box may be put is for ridding bouse plants of tl.e green aphis, and in that case one side of the lox may have a pane of glass Inserted so that tbe operator can tell when enough smoke has been ad mitted. A ukape trellis is a permanent In stitution, and the extra expeuse ot making it right fays big profits veaily for a lonir time. How much will it cost to put up a few boards over favorite vine that annually just barely misses ripening its fruit? That I j warding off cold r ins and dews and checking tbe passing off of heat into space will probably make the crapes one or two weeks earlier. This semi protection Is al?o In many places a preventive of mildew. The Guest grapes grow on vines trained to hou-e walls under the projecting eaves aud cornices. The color of the bo seems to be a matter of ln-poitaLCe. Experiments show that, coutrary to expectation, a black ho?, such as the Essex and Beik Bhire, thrives best iu the South, while the white breeds, such as the Chester White, lorksbire an.l Cheshire, thrive best in the North. The Poland China, a spotted bog. and the Jersey lied are preterred lu Uie Western States. Unless the shocks of corn are male firm in tbe f.eld they will be blow:, down. A little extra care in shocking will save much loss lu fallen shocks Wherever possible haul the shocks to the barr, as corn foddtr is always in jured to a certain extent, no matter bow well it may be shocked. The heavy breeds or ducks can be kept w.tbln an inclosure, with a very low fence, and, if given a trough foi lathing purposes, they will thrive and do well if fed on ras or bulky food. Too much grain is detrimental. The Pekin breed seems best adapted on farms that have no (ouds or streams ol water. It has been estimated that cattle disease in tbe past 40 vears bas cost Great Britain toUO.OOll.COU. Commis sioner Colman recommends a catt'e quaratlne against all Europe, which bas been the hot bed of dis eases which afterward nfil.cted tbis country. Roots should not be red with straw or poor bay. as they are too much alike In composition. Feed the roots wi.b clover or good hay, and give the more concentrated food with the straw. It requires more skill to te successful in feeding poor than rich kinds of food. Foundation walls for barns and tables should go down deep on low soils that are not well drained. Many walls go to ruin by failure to go a little deeper for tbe foundation. An ex ceptionally cold winter may cause damage from frost, and it is always well to bank up as much as possible. There is nothing a laying ben likes better than a variety, not only in her soft food, but in her grain. With iran for the bulk of their morning food add one day ground oats, another ground wheat, with always meat and vegetables, if available, and the table scraps. W beat, oats and barley form a regular grain diet, but coru, buck wheat and grass seeds make fine relishes. Rolling collars and open necked lresses will be worn. If the neck will oot bear exposure, a rull chemisette ot lace drawn about the throat by ribbons will be worn with them. The Nations Tbat Eat Most. Dr. Beard Says: The ruling peo ple of the world, who have from time to time shaped the destinies of human ity, have alwavp. so far as ran t. aa certained, been liberal feeders. Among ' modern nations, the greatest eaters are j the English, tbe Geimans, the French, ana me Americans ice ruling people of our civilization. Tbe diet of the Spaniards and Ital ians is notably less substantial thau that of the English and Germans, just as their brains are less active and orig inal. Tbe Americans are, on the average, the gi eat est eaters in the world. Said Carlyle to Emerson: "The best thin? 1 1 know of that country is. that in it a can uave uieai lor uu la&or."

There is no evidence whatever to show that the children oT the present day are not naturally aa free from dis eases of the eye, and have not as good eye-sight as the children of auy preced ing ae. The conditions of business in the present aire put a greater btraiu upon tlie eyes of the young, than for merly, wiuih weakens tne eye-siht and necessitates tlie use of spectacles. The bouses in our lar-ie cities ami towns are built larger and closer tn telher than foruieily, and in most cases, they are iooily lighted. The number of young people employed in otTlces and stores m w hich there is tin insuHicveticy if light is constantly in creasing, and the numlier of young people wiio are now employed at work iu whit h they are required to examine and view objects of diminutive size is much larger than formerly. The young people of the present day devote a great deal more time to reading than those of loruier agts, and publishers in their anxiety to crowd the greatest possible quantity of mutter within a given space, print much in type whicli to too small for tl.e average human eye. , These facts, we think, show the causes necesiit-itiug a more general use of spectacles am. ng the young than formerly, and that the increase lu de fective eye-si-jlit is the result not of in herited disea-se, but of the increased Btraiu put upou t he eye by the condi tions and requirements of business.

All of the venoms examined are essentially alike; lu every case they are made up of three proteld bodies. The Urst reduces the blood pressure, induces swelling (oedema) and finally brings about putrefactive effects. The second is a virulent substance, one-twentieth or a grain of which will kill a pigeon in two hours. It gives rise In a tew minutes alter injection to enormous infi.tration of blood into the neighboring tissue. Ttie poisonous properties of the third substance are ooubtrul. The object of the analysis is to eliminate the venomous principle, so that experiments may be ma le as to what drug cau be used to the best advantage, in neutraliz ng it. On the State railways In S-elen there is generally a doctor for everv tblity-two mi'.es of line, and in tl is way forty-four doctors are employed by the Government. The private rail ways have a similar system. The medical men examine all applicants for employment and reject those physically disqualified, und especially by delects of sight or hearing. They also give their services to aud attend to all in-j-ned by accidents on the lice, to regular employes and their families lu sickness, to occasional employes while e igaged iu service, and to laborers iu the shops who have paid tbe same contributions as those engage 1 In working tt e line, and also to their families. No exception is made lu the case of those who sutTer fiom lniuiy or disease caused by their own fault. The manufacture of rope from asbthtos Is likely to become au indusii y of considerable Importance, the strength of the article being estimated at about oiie-f.-urth that of ordinal y hemp rope of tlie same diameter. Kjie of this material of 1 inches in duiQ -eter is stated to have a breaking strength of one ton, aud twenty fet of it aie calcu.ated 10 represent weight of 1 pounds. Some of the purioses, us enumerated, to which this kind of roje is especially adapted are theatres. Ore brigades and menus of escape from dwellings aud public buildings, its ad vantage being that it will not break and drop its burden if the Came bears U im it. It is made like ordinary r ie aud Is spun from Italian or Canadian aabei'.os thread. A jVi tt liul lu a German iron rolling milt recently broke in pieces through exce.uve speed, one of the fragments, nearly a ton lu weight, having lien thrown a-ore than 450 feet away. The wheel had a diamet-r of seven metre.i, weighed '25,000 kilogrammes, and was on the crank shaft of a 100 horse power engine. At the time of the accident ttie wheel was making 100 revolutions a minute. -h'r. Alan A, C'amj.bcU Sivtntun fiats it is cheaper and better to heat sninll towns by means of electricity than b a coal gas system. He compares the tqual illuminating effects of gas and electricity in portions of tbe lrlilsh museum, aud iiuds that, while the former is estimated to cost il 22 an hour, the latter has cost actually jl 44 an hour for a total of lS,e'00 caud e !Kwr. using the pendulum arc lamps. 77ie newest method for hardening copper is that of melting together and st rring until thoroughly amalgamntetl copper and from 1 to 6 per cent, ot manganese oxide. If an alloy is to be made the other ingredients may then le added. This process makes the copper homogeneous, hard end tough. About a pint of the celebrated chaly-1-eate waters of Tuubridge. Wells, Eng land, has been found to obtain tbe fol lowing substances: Nitrogen, 0.59 cubic inch; carbonic acid, 1 cubic iuch; oxygen, trace; carbonate of lime 0.03 grain; sulphate of lime, 0.17 grain; chloride of sodium, 0.30 grain; hydroch loride of magnesia. 0.03 grain hydroch lorate of lime, 0.05 grain; aud protox ide of iron, 0.28 grain. Impregnation of the atmosphere of a sick chamber when the patient is ill of diphtheria, mentis, scarlet fever, or of any allied disease, with tha odor of a mixture or equal parts ot turpentine and carbolic acid Is recommended by Dr. Vilandt. Half a teaspoonful of the mixture will beenough at a time, ir it is put into a kettle kept near the boiling point. The odor generally gives some reller to the sufferer anil tends to prevent the spread of the ma'at'y. JV t's gratifying to learn that the el. c. ileal railway at Fortrush, Ireland, has pioved both a scientific and finan cial success The introduction of a i-.: liar mode of transit at some of our v..tering places would no doubt receive ample patronage to far more thau cover the original cost and working expenses during the summer months. Zoic(feretf ros n, accord'ng to II. Ilager, is liable to spontaneous com bastion, owing to oxidation by tbe air, and it should be kept iu tightly closed tiu boxes.
