Loss of cud or suspension of rumination in cows is due to indigestion, from inaction of the muscular coats of the stomach. The remedy is to clear the, bowels and stomach of the gathered indigested matter by a brisk purgative; for instance, a quart of linseed oil or twenty ounces of Epsom salts, and then to give some easily digested and laxative food, as bran mashes or linseed meal steeped in water twelve hours. A writer in the Prairie Farmer tried the experiment of flat and hill cultivation for vines. This year squashes, pumpkins, melons and oilier vegetables were planted, part in hills and part flat. He recommends the level cultivation as the best, as hot weather did greater damage in the Mile Tn t.pn riavs the difference was very marked. Although the flat cultivation was superior for a dry season, the hill system is preferable for a wet one. Recipes. Pickled Chicken. ? Boil four chickens till tender enough for meat fall from bones ; put meat in a stone jar, and pour over it three pints of cold good cider vinegar and a pint and a half of the water in which the chickens were boiled; add spices if preferred, and it will be ready for use in two days. This is a popular Sunday evening dish; it is good for Luncheon at any time. Beown Loaf ?One coffee cup of molasses, one teaspo^nful of soda dissolved in one-half terspoonful of boiling water, stir into the molasses until it foams, then mix into it graham flour and cornmeal (vin the proportion of three to one) enough to make a thick batter, and then add one table^,. spoonful of lard. Pour into a^mold and steam four hours.* To be eaten hot. Very nice as a pudding with sauce. -Brown Onion Soup.?To make four quarts of this soup proceed as follows: Peal and slice six large onions, fry them brown in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of drippings or hntter. noar over them four quarts of boiling water, season with two teaspoonfuls of salt and haJf a saltspoonful of pepper, stir in two cupfuls of grated bread free from crust, and boil i slowly two hours, stirring occasionally. Season palatably, and serve hot. Tiekna Rolls.?One quart of milk, one-half teaspoonful salt, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one tablespoonful lard, one pint of milk. Mix into a dough easily to be handled without sticking to the hands; turn on the board and roll out to the thickness of half an inch, cut it out with a large cak-w cutter, spread very lightly with butter, fold-one half over the other and lay them in a greased pan without touching. Wash them over with a little milk and bake in a hot oven. ^ Boast Goose.?The goose should Ka /virvhf mnnfVic nlrl Qnrl LLVO KJX* ??JL\SJL\s VUUU U^uv the fatter the more tender and juicy the meac,. Stuff with the following mixture: Three pints of breadcrumbs, six ounces of butter, or part butter and part salt pork, one teaspoonful each of sage, black pepper and salt, one chopped onion. Do not stuff very full, and stitch openings firmly together to kept flavor in and fat out. Place in a baking pan with a little water, and baste frequently with salt and water (some add vinegar), turn often so that the sides and back may be nicely browned. Bake two hours or more; when done take from the pan, pour off the fat, and to the brown gravy left add the chopped gioiets wmcn nave previously been stewed until tender, together with the water they were boiled in; thicken with a little flour aad butter rubbed together, bring to a boil and serve. Household Hints. Do not put glass articles that have held rrulk into hot water as this causes the* milk to penetrate the glass and it can never be removed. To clean copper teakettles use turpentine and 'fine brickdust and rub hard with a flannel and polish with leather and dry brickdust. Bread is ready to be made into loaves when it is like a honeycomb all through, and when the loaves will not retain the impress of the finger then it is readv for the oven. To polish tin pulverize charcoal very j Bne, dip a coarse cloth in a little soft! soap, then in the charcoal and rub the tin briskly. Wash in hot water and clry with a clean towel,- afterward sitting t,hc2i in the sunshine, if there is any. The tin does not wear off by this process. Or make it clean with soapsuds and polish with whiting. The best way to prepare a new iron kettle for use is to fill it with clean potato peelings, boil them for an hour or more; then wash the kettle with hot'' water, wipe it dry and rub with a little lard; repeat the rubbing for a half dozen times after using. In this way you will prevent rust and all the annoyances liable to occur in the use - - T AA.1 - oi a new iiei-uie. Clenching of the Hands. A correspondent writes: Whether i the clenching of the hands be the result j of mental emotion, of hysteria, or j other nervous convulsion, of acute poisoning or of tetanus, women always seem to lay the thumb across the palm and fold the fingers over it, frequently wounding the skin of the ball of the thumb by the pressure of the index and middle finger nails; while men invariably flex the fingers acutely first, now and then digging all four nails ! into the palm, and turn the thumb out- i side, across the back of the middle j phalanges. About four years ago I j witnessed a case of idiopathic tetanus I in a black woman in Barbadoes. The disease had ::eaehed that advanced stage where the muscles of the extremities begin to be affected during the paroxysms, and it was interesting | to observe, before actual clenching ensued, that the thumb "first began to twitch inwardly, while the fingers were motionless. Possibly this may be the unconscious result of habits acquired duriig life, I have had no opportunity of noting the phenomenon in children. - ^ : ^ 11if i i imr i?? ii mi -I, mi i ACCIDENTS OF HISTORY. A Chapter on Trifles Which Hare Deter*n!n^ Events. ! A curious volume might be penned ; on trifles which have determined great i events. It was but a trifle which gave i Spain for so many generations the lordship of the Xew World, and enabled her by the wealth she derived from that source to become the most powerful nation in Europe. It is wellknown that Columbus, dispirited by the refusal which he met at so manj courts, dispatched his brother Bartolomeo to ask aid from Henry YII., of England. But on the way the messenger fell into the hands of pirates, and by the time he reached London he was so destitute he had to try and earn the money to clothe himself in proper style before he could be presented at court. But by this time it was too late. Even the fact that Ferdinand and Isabella supplied the funds to equip the expedition was mainly due to the accident that Juan Perez de Marchenal, the queen's confessor, happened to be passing at the very moment when the weary mariner was knocking at the door of the La Rabida monastery to beg a little bread and water for his boy Diego, and was si'ruck with the noble face of the dusty pedestrian. Had Bartolomeo Colon reached London in time; had Christoval been by any chance a little later or a little earlier at the monastery door, the fate of Europe might have been changed and the destiny of the AngloSaxon race altered. Three centuries later it was again nearly revolutionized, for in 1806 the English Steld Buenos Ayres, ana it is no Secret that Napoleon was almost persuaded to abandon Europe as >a field for his ambition, and try what he could accomplish in the way of carving out an empire among the dissatisfied provinces of South America. When citizen Bonaparte seemed little likely to sit on the throne of Louis Capet, he was on. the point of offering his sword to the sultan, as at a later period Yon Moltke actually did. It is curious now to speculate what would have been the present state of the Eastern question had ]Sfa poleon carried his intentions into effect, or supposing that Moltke had remained in the Turkish service whether the Danish war would have been fought, or Prussia's supremacy established at Sadowa or Sedan. The cropping of Louis YII.'s chin brought on three centuries of bloodshed; and a sarcastic remark of Frederick the Great on Elizabeth Petrovna, of Kussia, roused that virtuous empress to take such a vigorous part in the seven years' war that at one time Prussia seemed well nigh stricken unto death. It is hardly forty years since Louis Philippe threatened war against the Texai. ~?T>ublic because an irate citizen haa ^1; ^t the trespassing pigs of the FrenCi mbassador.

Cowley became a poet owing to his perusal of Spenser's "Fairy Queen," and Sir Joshua Reynolds had never thought of painting until Richardson's " Treatise " fell into his hands. Shakespeare might have ended his life as a prosperous wool-comber had he been a prudent young tradesmen; Corneille showed no liking for any literature except the law until he fell in love and felt compelled to tell the lady so in poetry; and Moliere might have remained making tapestry had not his grandmother nettled his pride by wishing that he could be an actor like Monrose.

Ignatious Lovola was a soldier, and the Order of Jesuit might never have been founded had he not accidentally beguiled the tedium of inaction necessitated by a wound while reading " The Lives of Saints." Gibbons determined to write his famous work after listening to the monks singing vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, Rome; and La Fontaine was stimulated to cultivate literature after hearing some verses of Mfdherbe. Faradav might have remained a journeyman bookbinder had not kindly JNlr.

They believe they came from the "West; and they seem to Dr.'Kae physically like the Chinese. They build their huts and boats in a similar way with the Siberian natives, but appear very short in stature on account of the shortness of their legs. Dr. Flam, of London, had said that the skeleton of an Esquimaux in his museum had thirty-five vertebrae, or one more than the average number. They are not to be regarded as gluttonous, for the large quantities of meat they consume seem to be required by the climate.?Popular Science Monthly. Capacity of the Largest Churches.

Twelve vears ago Miss Jennie Collins, of Boston, set herself about ameliorating the condition of working girls and working women of that citv. The results have proven 'what vast good can be accomplished by one who gives herself, heart and soul, to such work. What induced Miss Collins to undertake the work was this: A young women who could keep books came to her one cold winter's day. She was out of employment, owed her landlady for several weeks' board, and had been told not to return to her room again without the money to pay. Miss Collins gave her the money Deeded, and then did what was more to the point? got her a situation as a clerk in the Boston postofnce. This was an innovation, and, as in the case of all innovations, met with great opposition. The then postmaster, Burt, however, stood by her, and today there are several young women in the Boston postoffice. By the efforts of Miss Collins the interest and cooperation of many philanthropic men and women were secured, and as the result "Boffin's Bower," as Miss Collins calls the place where she seeks to do good to all of her sex who come t o her, was established In the annual report for 1882 Miss Collins says that from May 30,1881, to May 30,1S82, a total of 1,154 employers applied to her, and 1,545 girls during the same tims. Over three thousand meals were also given during the period named to girls too poor to pay for their food. "So report," says Miss Collins, "can give a description of the miscellaneous work, including the poor girls in disgrace, others hungry and cold, penniless ar.d perishing. Millions of money are invested to help the poor, but no law can possibly be enacted to prevent human sulfering, because law gives too much power in one direction and too little in another." riLSLimru ui n tiuia; Can you guess what is the newest fashionable diversion for young women of wealth and leisure? says a New York correspondent. Dressing live dolls, That is to say, they make toys of little girls?sisters, nieces, cousins, anything in the shape of a little gi^rl will do, if she be comely. This has suddenly become a rage in certain circles. I know an only daughter who, having no little girl relative, uses t'ae three-year-old offspring of one of her papa's poor tenants, a pretty little chit, on whom she places costly costumes with all the ardcr of a fresh pursuit. The child is as cute as possible in Kate Greenawav garments, and my lady takes delight indressingher after some quaint picture. Two or three afternoons a week slis is arrayed in something novel and taken out for a wUk or drive. Of course that will not liist long and the chiM will soon be returned to calico.

Fashion >"otcs * Fur borderings trim both cloaks and costumes. Beaver fur of natural color and dyed beaver are equally fashionable. Royal cardinal jackets are very fashionably worn over black skirts of silk, satin or cashmere. Scarlet cloth, with eider-down woven i in it, is a light and comfortable fabric for winter underskirts. Round and oval-shaped brooches are imported, now that every lady is supplied with long, slender lace-pins. Chinchilla holds its own as one of the most dainty and useful of the furs appropriated by the wardrobe. White felt poke bonnets trimmed with white uncut velvet, white feathers and some gilt braid, will be worn by young ladies. Fancy bags carried by the ladies and i having huge initial letters on the side , have had their day, simply because the j shop and hired girls carry them. now.i The leg-of-mutton sleeves have not proved successful, but the close coat sleeves are now slightly cushioned at the top to lift them above the armhole. Copper-colored silk and velvet combination dresses are among the most j stylish of the season. Embroidery on 1 velvet and multi-colored beaded gimps | are the trimmings. The costume for church, weddings! and day receptions is a short dress of j brocaded repped silk combined with ; velvet. It is worn witli a small visite i mantle of the velvet and a capote bon- i net.

The terras " Glucose " and " Grape Sugar" are but different names for : the same fhing; the former designating its solution in water and the latter its solid condition. Both are produced ; from starch, which, by a simple chemical process, is converted into i sugar. i The change is but a slight one, as j the chemical elements of starch and of i sugar are identical in kind, varying ; only, and that to a very small degree, , in their proportions. It has been i found that starch can be converted | into grape sugar by a simple process. It is called " Grape Sugar " because it is precisely the same as the sugar ol the grape, as well as of all other sweet and wholesome fruits, and is the chief natural component of honey. Honey often runs as h:.gh as seventy per cent, of pure glucose, and the juice of the I sugar-cane, sorghum, beet ana watermelon contains a considerable percentage of it. The starch intended for conversion may be derived, from any source that is convenient 'or economical, whether it be from fruits, grains, roots or ! plants. In this country corn is the i most available, being not only abundant but exceedingly rich in starch of a most pure and excelled quality. The starch being given, which is itself a most useful and universal product of nature, being a constituent of all vegetable growth and forming a large proportion of the food that we eat, the next step is to convert it into the sugar to which it is already so neariy arntu. This is done by simply submitting the starch, in liquid form, to the action of a minute percentage of dilate sulphuric acid, jkiifch quickly pro- j duces the requital change. As soon as this is accomplished, the acid i;? completely neutralized and elimin ated by the addition of a little chalk, which combines with it, forming the insoluble and harmless sulphate of lime, or gypsum, which in its turn is entirely removed, after settling, by drawing off the clear, supernatant sac- I charine liquid. This is then filtered and refined precisely as in the case of cane sugar, so that the most searching chemical test can discover no trace of the acid or any harmful impurities. We then have, when properly evaporated, a pure, sweet and colorless syrup called "glucose," or by further evaporation, the concentrated, white I and solid substance called "Grape Sugar." "Glucose" is from the Greek glwlcus, signifying sweet. The r ngin of the term ' Grape Sugar" has already been given. These commercial titles have served to mystify the public, and have misled people, or, perhaps, permitted others to mislead them as to the true character of these products. Were they simply called " Corn Syrup" or " Corn Sugar," their names would truly indicate just what they are, and the mystery would be dispelled. Glucose and grape sugar are no new ' things. In 1792, nearly one hundred years ago, the sugar of the grape was discovered in Germany by two chemists, Lowitz and Proust, who advocated the cultivation of the grape for the purpose of obtaining this sugar for j tlie home market.?January migmeer. \ Sixty Feet Under the Sea.

Then your business is to knock off as many oysters as you can, and pile them int-j the basket before you lose your wind. It is a terrible strain, but I could stand it in those days for six minutes, and I have known some men who could stay down ten; but it is sure death in the long run.

I went down sixty feet with a rush, and, landing on the edge or a big branch of coral, swung off into a kind of basin. The basket went ahead of me, and, as I swung off to reach the bottom, something seemed to spring up all around me, and I was in the arms of some kind of a monster that coiled about my body, arms and legs. I tried to scream, forgetting that I was in the water, and lost my wind. . It was just as if the plant hs.d sprouted under me and then threw its vines and tendrils about me. There were thousands of them, coiling and writhing, and 1 thought I had landed in a nest of sea snakes. I gave the signal as soon as I onr? a hrpn.k nmvard. Dart VUUiU, C4U.&VA v? ? ?

I afterward saw the body of one that was washed ashore on the isthmus that must have had a spread of thirtyfive feet.

A Reliable "Blood Pnrificr." The popular faith in "blood purij fiers" is a never-failing source of revenue to the quacks and medicine- j makers, who are disinterestedly eager I to supply the demand. The adver- j tising columns of the newspapers teem with profound treatises on the importance of keeping the blood pure, all ending, like an old-fashioned sermon, with a " practical application " in the ; form of admonitions to buy Dr. Soand-So's "Bitters" or other medicament. The following, which we find uncredited in an exchange, is so good a prescription in this line that vre are glad to advertise it gratuitously: The best blood purifier known to the medical profession is the following: First, plenty of cold water ablutions; that is, every morning of the year take a cold-water sponge bath over the whole body, followed by vigorous rubbing with a coarse towel, using quick, brisk action, the whole process not taking more than three minutes' time. In dressing wear flannel next to the skin throughout the entire year. * Second, eat plenty of plain, nourishing food, plenty of rare beef and mutton, partaking freely of fruits, fresh or stewed, and of vegetables, particular ly the summer vegetables, as being more digestible; ignore artificial sweets of all kinds, pies, puddings, pastries, heavy preserves, etc. Third, plenty of outdoor exercise every day ; take good long walks, not to overfatigue, ;.however; plenty of ventilation to your house and rooms at all times, day and night. Let the fresh air into your sleeping-room at night, in winter as well as in summer, and see to it in every way that you breathe pure oxygen every hour out of the twenty-four, instead of carbonic ' acid gas poison. Take plenty of sleep, and at regular hours, and strictly avoid alcoholic drinks and tobacco in any form. These four?daily cold water bathing, good food, fresh air and exercise ?form together the only specific blood purifier known. Medicine, drugs and herbs will not alone purify the blood ; the most they can do is sometimes to assist nature in making a start on the ricrht. rnnH Tnurnnl of ' )h.emi.stnL FACi S FOR THE CCBIOUS.

'he Commotion Cansed by the Statement oi a Physician. An nrrasual article from the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle -was published in this paper recently and has been the subject of much conversation both in professional circles and on the street. Apparently it caused more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J.B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester, but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further nf tlm Tra^ JIT1 editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his residence on St. Panl street, -when the following interview occurred: " That article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?" " Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and I am not surprised that the public think it marvelous. It was marvelous." "How in the world did you, a physician, come to be brought so low?" ' By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time, could eating nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains and my stomach was out of oruer, dui x cua hot. unnf. it mesui <xn.$ innig serious." *'But have these common ailments anything to do -with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firm a hold on yon?" ' Anything? Why, they are the sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is few people know or realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either." "That is a strange statement, doctor." " But it is a true one. The medical profession have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of Bright's disease even more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the Wo eVinnlrl not wnste our time trvinc to relieve the headache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments." " This, then, is what you meant -when you said that more than one-half the 'deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, doctor?" "Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its many forms. It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other com mon complaints which I see now were caused by Bright's disease." "And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first "Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy?Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see Mr. Warner himself. He was sick the same as I, and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made a study of this subject and can give you more facts than I can. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them showing the alarming increase of ?>?/Hcodco i+c cimnlfi nnd V"?^rSTLuat there is but one -way by which it can be escaped." Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the doctor's -words, the reporter bade him good-day and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learning that the information desired was about the alarming increase of Bright's disease, his manner changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly: " It is true that Brighfs disease has increased -wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carrenter, Bishop Haven and 'others. This is terrible, and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It should be plain to every one that something must be done to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end." "Do you think many people ar? afflicted with it to-day who. do not realise it, Mr. Warner?" "Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just ?? - A TVTwmrncmf. rvrnfAQQnr CUillC IKJ uujr -Uk. in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast between healthy and un. healthy fluids, he had provided a vial the contents of which were drawn from his own person. 'And now, gentlemen,'he said, ' as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health/ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed ?his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: ' Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease of the kidneys,' and in less than a year he was dead." "You believe, then; that it has no symptoms of its own and is frequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it?" "It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one. I know what I am talking about, for I have been through all the stages of kidney disease." " Von 1-natt* rvf TYr TTurnnn's rtftsa?" " Yes, I have both read and heard of it." ' It is very wonderful, is it not?" "A very prominent case but no more so than r. g-eat many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means." " You believe, then, that Bright's disease ran be cured?" " I know it can. I know it from the experience of hundreds of prominent perso is who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends." " You speak of your own experience, what was it?" " A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I didnoi know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty 1 thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one or tne pnysicians 01 this city poumec me cut to a gentleman on the street one day, saying:. 'There goes a man who Trill be dead within a year.' I believe his words would have proven true if I tad not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure." "And this caused you to manufacture it?" " No it caused me to investigate. I went to the principal cities, saw physicians prescribing and using it, and I therefore determined. as a duty I owed humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their reach, and now it is known in every part of America, is sold in every drug store and has become a household necessity." The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness and sincerity of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. S. A. Lattimore, at his residence on Prince street. Dr. Lattimore, although busily engaged upon some matters connected with the State board Of health, of which he is one of the analysts, courteously answered the questions that were propounded him: " "Did von make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. II. H. Warner some three years ago, doctor?" " Yes, sir." " What did this analysis show you?" "The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance." " And what did the symptoms indicate?" "A serious disease of the kidneys." "Did you think Mr. Warner could recover?" " No. sir. I did not think it possible. It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had up to that time ever been cured," " Do you know anything about the re~edy which cured him ?" " Yes, I have chemically analyzed it and upon critical examination find it entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances." We nublish the foreeoinz statements in view of the commotion -which the publicity of Dr. Heiiion's article has caused and to meet the protestations which have been made. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the comnjunity is beyonda?$^3tfiOnd thA's'ldte? ments they m?J^cannot for a moment be doubted. Tb*y conclusively show that Bright's dis^rfse of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that zijtf exceedingly common, alarmingly increasing and that it can be cured.
