To Make a Fire Properly.
"When I was a youup woman,"
remarked a good housekeeper,
"I used to think that an intelli
gent person could rise to any do
mestic emergency, if necessary,
but I found out my mistake one
morning when the cook was ill,
and I tried with my waitress, who
was as ignorant as myself to
make a fire in the kitchen range.
I was at a loss how to begin. I
knew nothing about draughts or
dampers; the grate was full of
dead coal and ashes. Altogeth
er it was discouraging, and I
shall never forget my relief when
the farmer's wife who supplied
us with milk drove up, aud learn
ing the situation, came to my re
lief. In a few minutes she had
a nice clear fire started, and I
felt there was some prospects of
my husband having his breakfast
in time for his train.
"To make a fire in the kitchen
range, first draw out the dust
damper, then free the grate en
tirely from ashes. It is much
economical not to 'dump' the
coals but to rake out all the
ashes with a sharp pointed poker
and then to shake about the coals
that remain with and old whisk
broom, until they are entirely free
from ashes.
"Afterward brush out all the
ashes that have accumulated over
the ovens and all the inside cor
ners within reach. Then twist
very loosely pieces of newspaper,
and lay them across the grate and
remaining layer of coal, about an
inch apart. Over these lay light
kindling wood, putting a second
layer of larger sticks across the
first layer, and finally a layer of
coal. Before lighting, take away
the ashes below, put on the cov
ers and brush the range perfect
ly clean; then light the fire, push
in the dust drmper and pull out
the draught dampers. As soon
as the coal is burning, add more,
but it should never come above
the brick lining. 'No cook that
knows her business, 'says a cook
ing teacher, 'ever allows her stove
to get red hot. It warps and de
stroys the iron and does not add
to the heat. Once a week, if
housekeepers would open the
slides under their ovens and take
out all the ashes that have sifted
through, there would be fewer
complaints about the heating of
ovens. " New York Tribune.
"I had pile.i so bad I could get
no rest nor find a cure until I
tried Dc Witt's Witch Hazel Salve.
After using it once, I forgot I ev
er had anything like Piles." E. C.

A savings bank accouut is a
great incentive to thrift in child
ren. If one isbegun for the baby,
even with a very small sum, and
added to through childhood and
youth with a certain proportion
of the money thatotherwise would
be spent carelessly and thought
lessly by the child, there will be
a very respectable amount on the
credit side of the ledger when the
"depositor is eighteen years old.

A decision has just been ren
dered by the supreme court of
California with regard to the
right of disposing of a man's
body after his death, which is
causing very pronounced dissat
isfaction in the medical profes
sion. The suit was this: A man left
a will in which he bequeathed his
body after death to a medical col
lege, where he had been treated
aud treated very much to his ad
vantage during his life. Unable
to make any other return to the
college where his su tiering had
been alleviated, he made the re
quest of the managers of the in
stitution that he should be allow
ed to bequeath his cadaver to them
to be used for scientific purposes.
The request was granted, of
course; and, when the patient
died, the administrators proceed
ed, in tonus of the will, to take
possession.
Hut they were not permitted to
take possession. The nearest of
kiu, who claimed possession of
the body by right of immediate
relationship, would not give up
the body,aud applied to the court
for an injunction restraining the
medical college from talcing the
cadaver for scientific or other
purposes. And the kin-folks have
won; for, as we have said, the su
preme court of the state has de
cided that a man cannot 1y will "I have been troubled with in

custody of the corpse
e. The
and the ;
right of burial, the court hold
belongs to the'next of kin in pref-
ereuce to the administrator.
This view, says the New York
Medical Journal, taken by the su
preme court of California, is
"based on the fact that the gen
eral English and American legal
authorities es'ablish the rrde,that
in the absence of statutory pro
visions, there is no property in a
dead body;" and it adds that, if
the decision 3e correct, the soon
er statutory, provisions are ob
tained authorizing a man during
his life to dispose of his body af
ter death as he thinks proper, the
better.
On ordinary sentimental
grounds, whether there b
or be 1
not a law on the subject, one would . Morgart and Mr. Levi Valentine,

who would not comply?
The moribund person knows amputation, "but," ho writes, "I

property, if ho had any, may be
entirely traversed from his inten
tion. It would be but a kindly
act, therefore, to mala; such a le
gal provision as would enable a
dying man to depart with the con
sciousness that his wishes would
be absolutely respected at least
as to the disposition of that cart li

him iu life. "We brought noth

said, of course,of physical things;
but why a person Hearing the
bourne should not bo allowed to
carry with him the assurance
that his wishes concerning the
disposition of the (day-companion
which he leaves behind will not
be departed from in any essential
particular, it would be difficult to
say. So much for the sentimen
tal view.
The scientific or medical view
of the case reaches the same end,
though it reaches it by a different
line of reasoning. "Jf this ruling

Some Ancient Ilistorv.
The death of tho widow . of
IVestou S. Brooks, of South Car
oliviii, to some extent has revived
the one celebrated and sensation
al episode, of Brooks' assault on
Senator Sumuer, in tho senate
chamber, May 22, 1830. Sumner
had delivered a two Days' speech
on "Tho Crime Against Kansas,"
in which he handled Seuator But

tor Douglass, of Illinois, pretty
roughly, concluding: his address
on the 20th. On the 22d, the sen
ate having taken a recess, Mr.

of Senator Jutler, entered the
chamber. Be carried a large

seated at his desk writing. Brooks
approached tho senator, and when

The senator was a large and
powerful man. Ho made a con

THE GREAT. SPRING MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nervo Energlzor. Is the
greatest SPRINd MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes s a rich blessing from
heaven to the "worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired
feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour
ished nerves, from thtn, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as If by a maglo
spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which aedbmpany the spring,
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, Insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, It Is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of llfo, new hope, new strength follow Its faith
ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method In the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and' other minora'
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through Its channels holding In Its circulation the speciftc germs of the
disease. But In this way, every part of the body became more or Jess diseased. Noth
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru
lently the different structures of tbe body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again It will bring de
cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There Is only one
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, .
liver and skin. " First pure, -then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
vitallzerof the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILL'A, not only radically and ex
haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality, "The blood u
the life." Good health mean pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA, Is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov
ered. This fact Is now established beyond question or cavil.
