XiLE HOXE lWCTOJR. Cold in the Head. , In congestive and inflammatory dis? eases, the use of hot water thrown by the hand against the eye is recommended by Dr. Leartus Connor as the beat remedy. Two good hearty meals in the day are | sufficient for health?one before going to work, and the other after work is over: that is, breakfast and supper, or what is the same, late dinner. Some i- " Itmch is needed between these meals, but this shonld be light. Hot, heavy suppers taken shortly before going to bed prevent refreshing sleep, and are among the most frequent causes ol attacks of indigestion. At the same time an empty stomach i3 to be avoided; a few biscuits or something equally light, is all that is required. Never use anything but light blankets as a covering for the sick. The heavy, impervious cotton counterpane is bad, for the reason that it keeps in the exhalations from the pores of the ^ . sick person, while the blanket allows thflm to nass thronffh. Weak oersons are invariably distressed by a great weight of bed-clothes, which often prevents their getting any sound sleep whatever. This disease can be cured at once, if taken care of at the beginning. Dissolve a teaspoonful of borax in a pint of hot water; let it stand until it becomes tepid; snuff some up the nostrils two or three times during the day, or use the " " -????.., . dry powdered borax like snuff, taking a pinch as often as required. At night have a handkerchief saturated with spirits of champhor; place it near the [_ nostrils, so as to inhale the fumes while sleeping, Boys "Will See the Point.

His honor the mayor was there, so was Judge Brady ; in fact all the big guns of the bar, and all the famous editors, except the elder Bennett, who never went to dinners. After all the magnates were seated, the reporters were admitted?there were fourteen of them?and were taken to a long table which was not set for a dinner, though admirably adapted for writing purposes. The waiters trooped in with the viands, but ignored the reporters, who bore the slight until the courses had been served; then, by mutual agreement, they arose and tramped silently out of the banquet hall in Indian file. Horace Greeley, IManton Marble, Jones of the Times, j Hudson of the Herald, Brady of the ! Mail, and Brooks of the Express, saw the departure. Mr. Greeley laughed and said : ' Blamed if the boys ain't serving 'em just right." The guest of the evening looked on in dismay; he was primed with a long speech thr 1 he wanted well reported. Next morning j the poor, snubbed reporters had got even with the millionaires, judges and lawyers.

The Chinese Minister with his interpreter called at the house of Secretary Frelinghuysen a short time since, when Miss Frelinghuysen offered him a cup of tea. The Minister drank the tea, and remarked very coolly : "It is of medium quality. I will send you some that is really fine."

I answers A- j B., and says : "I'll take that job, yonrs j traly, T. Z, box 42." That brought me together with a certain showman, | as yon knows as well as I do. After j arranging wot I was to get for the bnsi- j ne93, he takes me to tbe den, ana tners i were two of the nnpleasantest as I had I ever seen in a show or anywhere else. { 'They're a little skittish,' says the show- I man. 'You bet,' says I, 'how they do [ larf.' Well, I got those hyenas put into . j solitary confinement, and for about two weeks I tried my hardest to mash 'em. I fed 'em, I tickled 'em with a six-foot pole in the ribs, I got hot irons and burnt the ends of their snouts, I woke 'em up with pails of ice-water in the middle ol' the night, just to show 'em my power, and the darned animals iarfed harder than ever. This aggravated me awful, and I determined to try conclusions with 'em face to face in the cage: so I arms myseli witn a xnong i of leather with a loaded handle, and one fine morning I entered the lodging j of Hyena No. 1 with a pork chop for j his breakfast.

But if sweet skimmed milk is given of the right temperature?that is, eighty degrees, and no more and not nrucb. less, and net too much of it so that it is properly digested, the calf vriil be equally as well formed, and make a better cow than the one that has sncked.

Hen manure of good quality, if properly kept prepared and applied to the soil, is very nearly if not quite in value to the guaao of commerce. Hen manure that is mixed with sand and gravel or hag been long exposed to atmospheric and other influences, is depreciated in value and will not stand the comparison mentioned, although it may not iiU*C 1UOU ail 1:0 X%JLUXAJ.ULU.? wO? Hen manure is more or less valuable on all soils and crops, beiog identical in its action with guano. The value of each depends in a large degree upon the amount of ammonia contained. Both are powerful and must therefore be used with caution, after being mixed with other substances that will cause them to pr.ri gradually with their caustic qualities. A very common error committed is the mising of hen droppings with wood ashes. Excellent as these two materials are when applied as fertilizers apart, their association is altogether i-... i.i.. ..?ik.; ii wrong, lur luu biuu^uu iciwuu iiuav causes a waste of valuable material. The potash in the ashes liberates the soluble ammonia in the dropping, and it escapes into the air. In place, therefore, of wood ashe3 and other substances that deteriorate poultry manure by driving off the valuable ammonia, absorbents, such as clay, dry loam, muck or gypsum, should be mixed with it, and if the others are required, apply these separately to the soil later in the season. When the clsar droppings are scooped up and saved at brief intervals an excel* ? ? * i 1 _ i lent pian is 10 pacs m oarreis or doxbs, under cover, with alternate layers of dry earth between, letting the earth always come on top of the heap; this will not only save the manure without waste, but put it in convenient form to handle. One of the most economical and at the same time convenient methods for saving and preparing fowls' droppings is to keep the floor under roosts and in poultry-houses sprinkled with dry earth or muck, and as often as once a week, at least, scrape off and deposit this surface earth and droppings where it will ? -* * -3 ?^ AvnATtrif ICLLLttlli UIJ Ui-CULL a ouuivxcuu auvuuw has accumnlated for use.

Where the droppings have not been previously mixed with earth, either on the floor of the hen-hous9 or on being packed away in barrels, they should be mixed before applying to the crop with two or three times their bulk of clay, muck or whate7er absorbent is employed. If salt is required ia connection with hen manure, it may be added ia small quantities, say one pint to a bushel of droppings and muck, all to be thoroughly incorporated.

They feed heavily on corn meal and oil cake until the milk fails, when the cow is replaced by a fresh one. A dairyman who keeps oae hundred and fifty cows saya such a practice is more profitable than to lose time between ; their going dry and coming in. Merino sheep will yield from tec to ' twenty pounds of wool per head, and i the Cotswold even more, while scruo I sheep give only from three to sir j pounds. The fine sheep eat no more j than the scrub and produce much more : flesh, to say nothing cf the superior j quality of both wool and flesh. There- j fore keep only good sheep. To make excellent iron-holders, and j at the same time utilize the tops of an ! old pair of wornout boots, cut the leather into squares and cover two or three thicknesses of it with some suitable material, whipping it closely in place Oror all put a covering of nice white cloth, and as often as necessary remove this outside covering and replace with a fresh one. The quality of stable mannre depends npon the quantity and quality of the feeding stuffs used, and on the amount of milk or other products obtained from the animals. As a rule, but a small pro- j portion of the manurial elements t)f the fcod are permanently retained in the j tody or excreted as milk, etc., while j the remainder passes into manure. As i a consequence, the richer the feed the i licher the manure. Good feeding pays I not odIv through increased production by the animals, but through the iaa- I proved quality of the manure as ! ?n wen.

The celebrated pianist, Gottschalk, was highly amnsed on finding hi3 performances stndied very closely by a ' scientist who had published a treatise I on the number of muscular efforts that | may be made in a given time, for this ! learned savant found that in one brilliant j pieua <JTUIjbiSU.Uai.iS. civccucu gxcawij fciio I estimate he had made after careful con- | sideration. The number of consecutive percussions given out were found to be quite astonishing. Although Gottschalk pretended to be greatly enter- I tained his critics and their widely j differing points of view, yet he must [ have already known that his physical j strength was great. Although to all appearance delicately constituted, he wrestled with the muscular giants who were engaged in moving his heavy con- | cert pianos, and with a success that as- ; tonished them so greatly as to make it I a subject of conversation to the present day. When Bulow was on his concert tour through Germany and Austria he met Rubehstein at Vienna. They were both playing on the Bozendorfer pianofortes, but Bulow would not play on Bubenstein's instrument. He would have another one provided for liis use. Prof. "Schmidt, of that city, being curious to le??n the real reason of this ctetermina- j tion,vexamined the "touch of each in- | strnment, respecting the depth the key i sank and the weight required to depress | them to the lowest point. The piano- j forte that Rubenstein played required an average weight of eighty-eight grams ' (one gram being eqtial to fifteen and a i half grain), while Billow's required an ; average of 105 grams. Therefore the i keys of the Enbenstein pianoforte were i easier to put hi action than those of Bu- J low's pianoforte, bat on the other hand j the keys sank fully tventy-five per cent. j than Bnlow's. so that the action I of both pianos madd pretty equal demands on the physical powers of the respective performers. But if Bulow had played or: Eabenstein's instrument he j would feuve found his hands sinking too j deap, for they are small, To play on an ! instrument with a deep touch one mu st : have long fingers. Prof. Schmidt counted the number of j nnfoa nla-cort Tw 'Rnhenstem at one of iiis concerts and found them to be 62,900 ! in number, and therefore equal to a ! pressure of 998* pounds in weight. On j the Bnlow instrument they would be equal to a pressure of 1,190 5-8 pounds. ! When it is considered that something ! more than pi'essure is needed in a bril- i liant fortissino: and on a large instrument in a large hall, and that a high degree oi velocity must be given to the hammer and-not the mere motion dne to some weicht some estimate ot the ex- : penditure of' force necessary to deliver such, percussive accents from the fingers may be made.

J y I Y ( A CHAIN OF SLED-HUTS. A New Plan for KeacUinz the North Pole. A Canadian engineer, Mr. Okill Stuart, has devised a plan of approach to the Pole by means of a chain of sledhuts from Chesterfield Inlet, which is 1,565 miles from the Pole. He says: Now, from Chesterfield Inlet to the north end of Lake "Winnipeg, where supplies could be delivered by boat, is but 600 .miles. This distance I would overcome permanently by building a system of relay stations twenty miles apart and connected by a through telegraph line to Winnipeg City at a cost of $120,000. This work would be carried ont by the government and wonld eventually ? ^ _ l: zl -ij pav, connecimg, ixa wuuiu, v^iiurciiiii Harbor, month of Nelson River, and west coast of Hndson Bay, where, in the future, will be the great emporium of the north, thus nentralizing this expenditure by the great advantage of a telegraph system for the purposes of emigration and trade. These relay stations of block huts would be stored with all necessary supplies for the undertaking, together Tvith sleighs, dogs and men iu charge, for purposes of transportation from Lake Winnipeg to Chesterfield Inlet, which latter place would be the headquarters of the expedition, in daily rv? T"? T"? * /*n TT?~irV? 4-VlA tTTAT?l^ I .1 mini II it i iwii.iLiu II1VU 01AK? vuwi TT VHUi These sled-huts would be constructed of paper board, of the lightest design and frcst proof; each sled would be about six feet wide and ten long, neatly rounded at the top and about five feet high, with a hole down through the center for a signal pole or anchor, to avoid drifting while resting in a gale. Each sled would bo steel shod, shaped somewhat like a toboggan, rounded up at either end. Each sled would contain a kerosene stove, oil tanks and lamps, as well as a completejeupply of preserved food, medicine, axes and ice shovels, sufficient for six men for six months together with fur trappings and othei /Ort+Viinrr WVian pnmnloto hut would weigh one thousand and six pounds, or a little more than two hundred and fifty pounds per man. Thus equipped we would commence the forward march by moving ten sleds at a time, manned in the following order To each sled one practical engineer, one doctor, and four able bodied men, all thorough-bred Canadians; thus ten sleds would comprise sixty men. These would advance in order at intervals, all keeping the due north course, and any deviation would be reported by a halt from fhA advance sled. All the sleds would be advanced in this order until a complete chain of communication was established. I would commence this movement about the 1st of December, or as soon as the ice formed on the more southern rivers. Oar route would lie by the west coast of the gulf of Boothia to Borrow strait, thence to North Devon and North Lincoln by Jones' sound., having land the whole distance, except Borrow strait and Jones' sound, which would be frozen. At North Lincoln we would be distant from Chestei field Inlet 786 miles, and from the Pole 780 : iles. To North Lincoln we would push all the sleds, except seventyeight, which we would leave by relays of ten miles, all anchored with signals, so as to form a complete chain of refuge in our rear, and if found necessary would establish a svstem of telephone from eacli sled by means of tripod poles. This would give us daily communication with Winnipeg, and govern onr dog transportation trains, which would be in constant attendance throughout the whole line. "When this was done we would commence our advance along the third or polar division in the same older as before, only by shorter relays, as we would have 122 sled-huts to station over 780 miles, or about six miles apart, so that each hut could be seen or reached with safety. It might be necessary to have some of these sleds constructed upon a boat principle, in case open water was reached, and could be used for towing others, as they -would all be watertight and capable of being floated, Bat as I do not contemplate finding open water this latter point would not offer any serious difficulty. The only obstacles likely to be encountered are rough and irregular ice ledges, which might have to be leveled or tunneled in places. In this manner I would expect to overcome the whole distance from Chesterfield Inlet to the Pole by the 1st of July, 1S84, that being the best season for observations at the Pole. The whole cost of the expedition in thi3 way, not including the telegraph line to Winnipeg City, would ba about $70,000. ___ YFho Kissed Away the Tears. Is anything stranger than the human heart?

At the Vermont Dairymen's convention Mr. Cheever, speaking of milk as food with and without its cream, said: "The robust forms of the European emigrants, who use it extensively in fiioir nwn r>nnntries. refute the idea that milk is only fit for babies. The per cent, of water in milk is not so large compared with other foods as is generally snpposed. Lean meat is dearer than milk as food. Whole milk is a more complete food for animals or man than skimmed milk, bnt the latter taken in connection with fat nsed in j cookery is quite equal to whole milk. Skimmed milk is almost a perfect food for pigs in summer. They will live and grow upon it, but they need something more for fattening." Milk contains of digestible substances, albuminoids. 3.02; 5 of carbo-hydrates, and 3 6 fat; and skimmed miiK aoouc uie same, with most of the fat removed.

(Cleveland, 0., Herald.) A few weeks ago wo copied into our columns from the Kochester, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle "A Remarkable Statement," made by J. B. Hen ion, M. D., a gentleman who is well known in this city. In that articlo Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and a few days thereafter we published from the same paper a second article, ?- ?- ? ? ?> ? ? ?.i ? f giving AU au^uixuu Ul tliC i-.AVitrv-mtUH Ui cheater," caused by Dr. H?nion's statement In the first article Dr. Henion stated that for a number cf years, up to last June, he had been afilicted with what seemed at first a most serious trouble. He felt unaccountably tired at frequent intervals ; he had dull and'indefinite pains in various parts of hia body and bead, and waa very hungry one day and entirely without appetite tbe next-. However, as a "physician, he thought, and so did his fellow physicians, that he was suffering from malaria. But yet he grew worse, and was finally obliged to give up a large and lucrative practice. Still be was not conscious of his danger, nor that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon him, although all his organs had become gradually weakened. The symptoms above described continued, accompanied by others ol an aggravated nature, and he noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids he km nassinsr: that thev were abundant one dav and very scanty the next, and were covered with froth, or filled with brick dust sediment. Eut even then he did net realize his real and ; alarming condition. At last, however, he was brought face to face with the fact that he was a victim of a moat terrible disease, and he made heroic efforts for recovery. He traveled extensively and consulted the best physicians, but they "could give him only temporary relief, and that principally in the fonn of morphine. And eo he grew steadily and constantly worse until his life became a torture. His pulse was un- . controllable. He lived wholly by injections, . and for six days and nights ha had the hiccoughs constantly, which are considered tho sure indications of coming death. When hope and life were nearly exhausted. his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of St. Paul's church, strongly urged him to try a means which the reverend gentleman had seen ! used with remarkable results. He objected at first, but finally consented, and was conscious of an improved condition the first week. His pains gradually disappeared; his stomach resumed digestion; his heart became regular; his headache* disappeared; he had no more chills and fever, or acidity of the stomach; he gained twenty-six pounds in three months, and is a well man to-day, being entirely cured of a moat pronounced case of Bright's disease. Although conscious of the comequences from his professional brethren, still, as a duty to his ( fellow men, and according to a vow he made on what he thought was his dying bed, he pub tisnea a card detailing nis woeaa ana remarKabla cure. "Since my recovery," lie says, " I have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright'* disease, and I believe more than' one-half the deaths which occur in aliebica abe caused by Bbight's Disease of the Kidneys. It has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily whose burials are authorized dv a physician's certificate of "Heart disease/' "Apoplexy," "Paralysis," "Spinal complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia" and other common complaints, when in reality it was Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few physicians and fewer pe ople realize the extent of this disease or ita dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into ttiH ?T?fcm Hito a thief, manifests it? nreienca by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life before tiie victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire lamilies, inheriiing it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, and as such is usually supposed to be heart disease." The second article entitled "Excitement in Rochester," was made up of interviews with Dr. Heuion himself who confirmed all said in his card, and also with Mr. H. H. Warner. Tne latter gentleman did not regard Dr. Henion's case as particularly exceptionil, because he had known of very many such cures by the game means in all parts of the land. Kidney diseases, he said, are carrying off tens of thousands every year, while Blight's disease is increasing 250 per cent, a decade, and yet the -oeorle do not realizs it or seek to check it until too late. He related how a New Orleans medical professor, lecturing on this disease, thinking to show his class what healthy fluids were, suojected some of his own to a chemical test, and although he had no suspicion of it before, discovered that he too hat! the dreaded disease, which proved fatal in less than a year. There was also an interview with the celebrated chemist of the New York State Board of Health, Dr. S. A. Lattimore, who said he had analyzed the remedy which cured Dr. Henion, and found that it was " entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances." We have made these condensations in order that all the material facts may be set before our readers. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a letter to Dr. Henion and also one to H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any additional nroof could be triven us as to the val idity of the statements published. In answer thereto we have received the-fbllowing ISiters, which a.ld interest to the subject and wholly verify every statement hitherto made: Bochesteb, N. Y., JFeb. 2, 1882.

J _ S.itrsGFiELr, Mass., December 22,1881. ' Mb. H.k. Stevens: Dear Sir?One vear ago about ..?? the present time I was afflicted with Scrofuloua Humors, also with Catarrh. I was suffering intolerably from Neuralgia. For two months my nights were seasons of a^ony. After a troubled sleep in the early " '" >2jj hours, I would wake anywhere between 1 and 3 a. X. * : :'"'W with the most excruciating sufferings in my head. and be forced to walk my study floor the rest of tha night. During the day also I was often attacked with dizziness, both upon the street and at home, so that ' it seemed lor a minute or so that consciousness was about to leave ros. This state of affairs continued until my nerves were sadly unstrung, and I began to " . -&Z fear organic disease of the brain. By advice oi Bev. Geo. \v. Mansfield, who had been much benefited by y. your medicine, I wrote to you and shortly afterward * ^ commenced using it. I took several bottles of Via*- . ttsx and was entirely cured. I have waited to see it \ there would be anv return of the disease. Nearly a year has passed; I find not one symptom of it. I do most cheerfully recommend Vegetdte for the com. - . .*J| plaints for which it is recommended. I remain, sir. very truly yours, T 6. B. SWEETSEE. Police Officer's Report. Eosrox. January 19,1831.
