M Use glass cans, and be sure that they
f are perfcct. Cut the com from the cob,
press it into the cans (with a potato
masher) till the milk Hows over. Put on
the rubber and the top. and screw down
tight. Place them in a boiler with sticks
on the bottom, pour in cold water enough
to about two-thirds cover them. Boil
five hours. When about half cookod,
remove a can at a time, tighten the top
and replace. I'se fresh corn, aud begiu

amateur can successfully can c;>rn if she
will follow the above directions. Tiie
reason so many failures in canning occur
is bee use of carelessness in little things.
The rubbers must be perfect of their
kind. New rubbem c in be had at any
house-furnishing store. The cans must
be perfectly clean and sweet, and every
sta^e of the process conducted with exactness.
And even then, as with bread,
the most careful housekeeper will sometimes
fail and ge: 4 down on her luck.5'
"Flying" GliiKSvare.
Glass is frequently said by ?crvants to
"fly of itself. ' It i.ever flies from the
thin to the tbick part, but the reverse
invariably. We on e knew a servant
girl who said a richly cut sugar basin of
a flanged shape ha I flown, and she
found the pieces inside of it, so that by
her experience g a s n .t only flies but
jumps.
' Change of temperature suddenly

kept in a cold, frosty pantry will fly

The Seal's Affection for Its Young1.
A lemarkable instance of an animal's
affection for its young is reported by a
California paper. An excursion party
from the mainland went to an island
eighty miles awiv, ami while there captured
a baby seal, whi li they put iu their
boat to carry home as a pet for one of
the boys in the paity. Shortly before
sailing a large seal was noticed swimming
around the sloop anchored off the
cove where the capture was made, uttering
loud baks, and at times howling
pitcou-lv. No part'eulur attention was
paid to th animal at the time, or to the
little captivr, who at times barked in
response to the mother's plaints. On
reaching the wharf a seal was again discovered
swimming about the boat. It
was jot supposed that this was the
mother, or out of pity the young one
would have been thrown overboard. To
bett.-r i-ecu:e the youn? sea!, the rope
was taken from its fin, and it was tied up
in a jute tack and let loose on the deck.
Soon after coming to anchor the young
ecal responded to its mother by casting
* itself overboard. Th ; mother seized the
eack, and with her sharp te th at oncc
tore it open, after which they both distppea:cd.

machine gun, or qijiclc-liring gun, is
mentioned as a "murdering gun," although
the article is chiefly dc.oted to
the method of constructing big breechloaders.
A naval ollicer who talked
about these "murdering guns" said:
"One lias only to stop and think a moment
to appreciate the tremendous advance
made in the construction of guns
during the pres-nt century. livery one
is familiar w th the fact that a v. ry large
number of the privateers that did their
country such great service in the last war
with England were armed wilhsix-poundcrs?cannon
that threw a ball of cast
iron weighing six pounds. Th.se guns
were mounted iir broadside, much as the
nine inch guns on the big wooden frigates
that form the greater part of our
navy now are mounted, and it required
about five men to serve them well. They
were lircd perhaps once in five minutes.
Although the principal weapon of the
little warships of scveuty-fie years ago,
the six-pounder is now one of the little
guns to be used as th-) fiint-lock mus
kets wore used in those days, to repel
attacks from small boats and pick men
off of exposed parts of an enemy's
ship. This latter service gives theiu the
name of murdering guns. The sixpounder
of ldl ~ was usually a brass piece, I
aud the charge of powder was so small ,
that the balls failed often to penetrate !
the thick plank of an enemy's ship. It

thick timber in the top sides of a ship
was a siifKcictit protection even against
the cannon balls of" larger degree. But
now the quiek-liring six-pounder has become
an awftii weapon of destruction.
Its barrel is made of steel. Instead of
being fired by touching a flaming match
to the priming in the vent of the gun,
a> its ancient namesake was, it is tired
and loaJed as well by the motion of a
lever. In place of the little loose bag
of powder aud the round iron ball that
loaded the aucient cne, a meta lie car- ;
triilge that is mad: up of powder fulmx- I
natc und a long steel bolt is used. The
cartridges arc placed in a magazine connected
with the gun, and the motion of |
the lever throws out the empty shell j
after the discharge, inserts a fresh car-1
tridgc, and fires it. The speed atta:ncd ,
at a recent trial of the Nordenfclt six- j
pounder at Dartford, England, was six j
rouuds in fourteen seconds. It could be I
easily aud accurately fired twenty times
in a minute.

six-pounder f|uick-iiring guns. At the
Dartford trial mentioned the gun was
tested to show its power. J i.e iron
pi te5, each an inch thick, were u<cd
over an appropriate backing of wood to
form a target, yet the steel bolts which j
this g in threw with such marvelous
rapidity pas-ed clear through iho five |
inch'.s of iron plates, the gun being tired |
at a distance of sixty yard-i from the
target. That is the-sort of a weapon
that thexhin racing shells called torpedo
boat* have got to face. The little
%teamer may tly at a speed of twentyfive
miles an hour, but unless she can
get unobserved within a very short distance
of the big man of-war she .iccks to
destroy the Captains of the top on the
masts, which arc ere ted in nil ships,
will get the rin^c of her with the liglitning
six-pounders, and before she can
travel three times her length will drive
such & shower of stc?l bolls cleat through
hull, b tiler and everything about her
that not a soul nor a fragment will be
left above water to tell whence she cam :
or mark where she wentdowu. Kot even
the be>t of torpedo boats except
through the accident of fog or in the
smoke of battle between larger ships c.m
hope to reach an enemy to do him h.irt.
"vj uick-tiring guns that throw pro .ee- j
tiles the si e of a riCe 1 all arc made in |
great variety. The single-barrel Nordcnfclt
of this calibrc weights but fifteen
pounds, and can be lired ISO times a
minute. The next larger size has three
barrels. It weighs sixty pounds and can
throw 400 projectiles a minute. This is
just now a very popular weapon in the
French, German, and Italian armies,
both on account of its effectiveness and
the lightness in weight. It is mounted
on a light carriage for field service. Un
ship bo ird, however, the live barrel gun
is the smallest si/.e used. larger one-,
bavin; ten barre.s, weighing22 >pounds,
have be n devised for use in forts as well
as on ships, and even twelve-barrel guns
tnatweigli a >0 pound* are oncoming
common. The ten-barrel gun throws
1,000 projectiles a minute, and the other
one 1,'i.ui. Their effective range is a little
over 1,000 yards. One g n like this
is warranted to k- ep the open ports of an
enemy's ship clear when within ranj;c.
4 A curious test was made wilh one of
the ten-1 arrel guns not long ago in India.
Two companies of wooden soldiers were
set up on the ri 'c range. A company of
fifty men, armed with th-i be-it modern
rifles, fired at or.e of the companies of
woo len targets at a distan c of 1.00 )
yards, while a ten-barrel machine
g.in peppered the other company
during the same interval of lima.
It required six men to feed,
aim, and tire the machine gun. An examination
of the targets showed that the
machine gun did as much work as fifty
trained men. But in time of actual battle
the trained men. owing to the excitement
and fatigue incident to the contest,
could n t fire with the accuracy nor
speed attained in a practice drill at a
mark, while the machines, having neither
i.erves nor muscles, would spout death
with unvarying accuracy and speed. It
is no longer po-sililc to work a canno:i
on an unprotected de k. except when
out of range of the murdering guns of
the enemy. It is not possible to take an
enemy's snip uy uo.i ruing. Minuu ooais

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Cold in the Head.
A remedy for an incipient cold in the
head may be obtained by breathing the
fresh fumes of flowers of sulphur. The
powder should be sprinkled upon a hot
metal surface, aditlle at a time, the person
inhaling to stand as near as possible.
The odor is not nearly as disagreeable as
when the smoke is inhaled after it lias
been snrae time diffused in the air. Only
a short time is required before a "cure"
is elected. Even little children find no*
difficulty in breathing the fumes.
"Whooping Congli.
Whooninff cousrh is a highly contajr'ous
fever, affecting the entire system, but
specially manifesting itself in an inflammation
of the bronchial tubes, and a
spasm xlic cough occurring ia freijucnt
paroxysms. The whoop is due to the ,
rapid coughing. This renders it impos- j
siblc to draw in the breath until the
coughing ends, when the breath enters
strongly through tlie glottis, still partially
contracted by the spasm.
It rarely cuds in less than six weeks;
gcneraliy'its run is long.-'r, sometimes
many months. Asa rule, the physician
merely aims to pdliate the symptoms,
I guard against complications,and abridge
somewhat tin atta.k. Says Flint: "It j
must be admitted that there arc no i
known means by which the affection
may be arreted.
A writer in the Lancet for March, 1880,
thinks that the prevalent treatment has i
been directed too much to the svmptons,
instead of to the cause, llence the
medicine-; prescribed have simp y had an
anti spasmodic and sedative effcct?re- (
lieving the cough, but not reaching the
desease itsvlf. Uuring a severe epidemic
of whooping-cough, he noticed on
several occasions a marked alleviation of
the symptons, and then at other times a
marked aggravation. This led him to
suspect some powerful atmospherical influences
at woik consulting his (
charts, he found that the former condition
corrcspon led to a high peicentage
of o.one in the air. and the latter to a
very low per ccntage.
Ozone being a natural antiseptic (pre
ventivc of p it refaction), be at once commenced
to treat his patients with antiseptic
medicines, taken internally. The
result was very favorable. The method
was con'irmed by further experience,
j roving satisfactory in almost every .
case. ? Youth's Companion. !

Things Soldiers Carried.
"There were lots of fnnny thingsabout
th?? war/' said Col. Frederick .Martin, of
the Brooklyn elevated, the other day.
"now that you think of them when the
tears arc dried away, and about the funniest
things I recall were the queer articles
the boys used to pi.k up on the
marili and the eccentric way in which
they'd tote 'cm along to finally adorn
some ditch by the wayside. Strapplcrs
were the worst at this, but all the fellows
were bad enough. Whenever the aimy
went through a first family residence the
boys would capture what struck each as
most attractive, and some of their tastes
were peculiar. They had a great weakness
for cradles. You may ask me what
a man treading his way to the front
wanted with a mahogany cradle, and
I'm blest if I know, but tliey took 'era.
l-'irst one man would back a cradle aiid
cart it a d /en miles; then he'd begin to
cuss and finally drop it.
'.Now, you'd suppose that any ordinary
idiot would just look at that cradle
as jt lay in the road and pass on, but
they wouldn't. Some one would be certain
to pick it up and lug it a few miles
further into the Confederacy.
"I recall one cradle that traveled 100
mil s on blue backs before it went to increase
the blaze of a mess fire. Somehow
they seemed to think vaguely that there
was a chance of getting the infant soothei
home, but they never fucn eeded,
"The funniest thing I ever saw carried
was a looking glass as high as your head
and two feet wide. I ?aw it first in the
pailor of a central Virginia mansion, and
nvxt on a soldier's back, headed for
Petersburg. Then I lost sight of it fox
two days, and found itnga n propped up
against a tree forty miles further along. (
The ntyct day I saw it traveling tenderly j
on a straggler's back, lie had his gun !
in one hand, and hud somehow strapped
the glass so he could get along without ,
holding fa t to it.
"Well, this fellow must have got tired,
for t'ie next day a third man had it. and

The Sailor Fish.
In the warm waters of the Indian Ocean !
a strange mariner is found that has given |
rise to many curiou< tales among the na- j

but one day the phantom craft actually
appeared to the crew of au Indian
steamer, and as it passed by under the
stern of the vessel, the queer ^ail was
seen to belong to a gigantie sword fish,
now known as the sailor fish. The sail
was really an enormously developed dor- |
sal fin that was over ten feet high, and
was richly colored with blue and iridea- '

on or near the surface of the water, ill's

A Novel Plan of Bnrial.
General M. C. Meigs, U. S. A., discusses
the burial of the dead as follows
in Building: "I see that the question of
disposing of the dead in towers of masonry
or by cementation is being discussed.
It is not new. Asiatic conqueioru have
built the living, after capture of their
cities, into tow era of masonry, using their
bodies as blocks and generally the adobe
mortars of the desert plains for cementing
them together. One of them built ;t
pyramid or tower containing tlicusnicts
of h ads. The city of New York inters
in its 1 otter's Field obout 4,000 bodies
annually. Enropc rents a grave site fc r
a term of years?a short term?and then
disinters the bonc< and packs them in a
catacomb or a vault. Would not Xew
York save money and treat, its dead with
greater respect if it embedded each bodkin
a mass of Iludsun River cement and
sai.d (lleton Coignet) ? 1 find that onehalf
a c.ibic yard of 'Bcton Coignet will
completely enclose the body of a man of
six feet stature, weighing 2oo pounds.
The average human beinir would require
even less then thirteen cubic feet. At ruling
]>riccs such a surcopliagus would <o<-t
onh-two or three dollar*. Mhe name
md ds:te, a perpetual recoid and memori:d
of the dead, could be inscribed with
letter punches or stamps on the head or
foot of the block or sarcophagus. Ifnngtd
alongside of each other in contact, and
in two rows?that is, two bl cks deep?these
would build on any suitable plan a
fourteen-foot wall, massive and strong
enough to be carried to the height of
150 leet.
Thus would be crected, at the rate of
nearly 2,000 cubic yards per yenr, agieai
temple of silence, a grand ai d everlasting
monument to those who pass away.
The designs for sue h a monument seem
wor hy of the study of onr bejt architects.
It might be a pyramid, l cone, n
tower, or a long gallery like tho.<p of 'he
Italian city of Bologna, the mo.-t,beautiful
cemetery in the world.
Many years ago me j.onnon jv.crweci
published the proposal of an architect to
crect by slow degrees and in succe-sive
courses a solid pyramid in which, in
cells, the dead of London would be enclosed.
But this made no provision for
memorial inscriptions or visible rccord9.
The fourteen foot wall docs this.
Accidents to Slccp-TYalkcrs.
It seems strange, on the first Hush of
the matter, that so very few accidents
befall sleep-walkers. The proportion of
instances in which any injury is sustained
by the subjects of this remarkable
state of semi-sleep is very small.
The explanation of the immunity is
doubtless to be fotild in the fact that it
if ? of o n rt1' rnmi.ulnnnin I
walker makes his excursion. lie is sleep- !
ing only so far as part of his cercbium
is conctrncd. The rest of his brain is J
awake, at.d therefore it is really not a
strange feat to walk carefully and escape
in'r.ry, d^ing all the necea?ary r.cts
of avoidance while carrying out some
dream purpose, Just as a walking purpose
is fiiljillid. This hypotl eais obviously
requires a very full explanatirn of
such an accident as that by which a
sleep walker recently came to her death
- iiiimdv. falling out of an open window. I
It is not liki ly lo h ive been j art of the
dream to get out of a window. There
must have been some error in the carrying
out of the process; such, for example,
as turning to the right instead of
the left on leaviug a room, and thus
walking through a low window instead
of through a doorway. As a ride the
senses are sufficiently on the nleit to enable
the sleep-walker to take all precautions
for safety, and when he comes face
to face with a diH'cully involving more
than automatic or subconscious self control,
he wakes. We should like lo know
more of the case whi< h has .just ended
fata'ly from some i ompctcnt medical observer
who has studied the development
oi tins interesting disorder in mis j r.r
tictilar instance. J-urcly a practitioner
was consulted. No case of sleep-walking
should ever be left without medical
scrutiny and counsel. In sleep-walking
there it the making of madness, and in
its inception this disorderly sleeplessness
ought to be stayed.*?London Lancet.
Starry Motion.
A careful comparison of the positions
of the stars from one time to another
shows in many cases a real motion in
pace. Really accurate ascertainment of
position began in the time of lJiadlcy,
who lived about the middle of the last
eentuiy, so that we have only tl.erecords
of a little over J 00 years ou which to base
our knowledge of stellar-"proper mo
tion." Jb.urope.in astronomers gave us in
the last oenluiy several catalogues of
stars which ar.j reliable, and the work
of comparison with the present pla. C5
lias been undertaken for a ni mbor of
f.iint stars, the bright ones having already
been eonvidired by an English
gentleman, ,7. L. E. Drcyer, who has
jiist published the results. By such effort
as his, continued over centuries of
time, it will be possible finally to deal
inteliig*ntly with the great problem of
tl:c ir.oti' 11 of the universe as a whole.
To a| preciatc the feebleness of any efforts
if confined to a single centuiy, it
must be r< roembmd that the stars are so
in.m mely remote that but ^ry few of
them s-how any perceptible shifting of
place as a lcsult of the motion of the
mrlh in its orliit. A (-1.alloc of :i second

War Elephants in Burmnb.
j Ai:tachcd to he Briiish Indian army,
i which is now in Burrnah trying to wipe
I out the murderous bands of dakoitsthut
i are affrighting the country, is an elej
jihant battery. Seven-pound guns, inI
eluding their c rriages. arc fastened to
I framework and fastened upon the backs
j of the elcph nts. In this way the troops
I ?re able to transport their artillery
j through long stretches of country where
i there arc no wagon roads, a:;d where
they wouid not be able to take their rnn.
nou if they did not have beasts of burj
nen strong enough to carry the artillery
j on their backs. Wi.cn tlie troops meet
, the sncniy the gun; are quickly unloaded
by means of a tripod, to which is atI
n CTtr'nrrinnr arm nnrl tiickle.
I Tlie elephant takes a more humble
I place in wair than formerly. He used to
j be one of the combatants, but in these
day!! of gunpowder and bombshells he
has been reduced to the transportation
department. Centuric; before the
Christian era the rulers of Egypt mainj
tai:.cd :;(ations as far fouth as Khartoum
I for tho sole purpose of collecting wild
j elcplinnts to be t:&inccl for war purposes.
: They were used not only to carry archers
and javelin hurlers into tlie field, but
were also trained to rush upon the enemy
and trample them under fo t While
I opposing warriois on their elephants
, fought at short range the elephants
I thems'.-he; would light each othi-r It
I i-i faid that the notion that the Asiatic
! elephant is superior to his African
brother daks from the time when, in a
battle between Antiochus III., king of
Syria, and Ptolemy I hilopater, in 21; B.
C\, the Asiatic elephants in the army
of the Syrian monnrc i killed every one
of l'tolemy's African animals. This idea
i of the superiority of the Asiatic ele|
pliant is still 1 eld by many, though it is
| probably ground less.

Something About Cntnrrh.
A great many people are afflicted with catarrh
who do not know* what ails them; and
[ a great many moro continue sufferers who
| might be cured,
I Thickening of the membrane which lines
I (lie nasal passages, thus making Lreathin;
I difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more
! or less copious, w atery or thick, according to
, the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in
I thohcad; a constant inclination to spit; and,
in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis!
ga&ting matter into the throat, are a few of
: the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
I Deafness, inflamed eyes, neuralgic pains,
l Bore throat and a loss of sense of amell are
very often caused by Ca'arrh.
All these troubles are cured by Pi9o's Remedy
for Catarrh. Relief ii had immediately
after beginning its use, but it is important
that it be continued without interruption until
the catarrhal virus is expelled from the system
and healthy secretions replace the diseased
action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly
it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a
short time of a disease that has been progressing
for months or years.
Thisquestion of time is provided for in the
i putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It Is
I so concentrated that a very small doie is di;
reeled. Tho quantity ia one package is sufficient
for a long treatment, consequently the
I expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse
I for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness.

A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
Elijah Cook'd Terrible Experience Given
for the Benefit of Othera?lJvinz Witnesaen.
The following graphic description will be
read with interest by all:
"Dear Sir?Any one who has ever felt a
faintriess atthe pitof the stomach, los* of appetite,
nervousness, sleeplessness, dull headaches
or strange pains through the b-ick can un,
derstand the condition I was in two years ago.
I thought I could reviiiy throw thesa
things off, but they kept returning. Consequently
I grew worse every day until last
spring, when I sent for a physician.
lie said I had a fever. 1 told him wliat condition
I was in with my water. At first he
paid no attention to it, but finally said he
I would take some of my urine home and analyze
it.
The next day he came and said there wai
some difficulty with my kidneys. My sickness
I continued until my urine was a sight to behold.
Another physician wai called. He pronounced
it Bright's disease of the k dneys.
and said there was no cure tor it He did all
he could, but to no effect. I then tried every
remedy 1 could hear of. The pain was so skVKMK
TH AT IT KKEMED I MUST DIE. I Saw a I
newspaper a IVertisement of Dr. Kil er's
Swamp-Root, and sent e'ght miles to pet tlie j
medicine. When 1 had Used one bjifle, it
clearcd my water so there was no hfd'ment
in tho bottom of the vessel. I continued j
taking tho medicine and kept gain- '
in*.:. I liave taken eight bott.es in a'l !
and consider myself to-day jis well ss
ever, and can now do as much labor as j
any man of my ag.\ 'While talking with cur !
druggist a few days ago about my case, lie .-aid j
he was selling a great deal of Dr. Kilmer's i
Swamp-Root and that he had neversoldaMed
icine that gave as much>a sfaction.
Oh! I often tnink how much suffering I 1
mig;it have avoided, both niuht and day, if I I
had only taken your medicines when I first
felt ray kidney troubles oomi gon,
