In case of poisoning, the simple rule is to get the poison out the stomach as soon as possible, says an exchange. Mustard and salt both act promptly as emetics, and they are always at hand in the home. Stir a teaspoonful in a glass of water, and let the patient swallow it quicKly. If it does not cause vomiting iu five minuses, repeat the dose. After vomiting, give the whites of two or three eggs, and then send for a doctor. Corn Bread. Take a cupful of granulated cornmeal, a cupful and a half of boiling milk, a tablespoonful of butter, a heaping teaspoonful of sugar, a level teaspoonful of salt, aud two eggs. Mix together the meal, salt and sugar, scald with the boiling milk, add the butter, and when the mixture is sufficiently cool stir in the yolk and white of the ' eggs, beaten separately. Bake in loaves. For a man to exert this power in doing good so far as he can is a glorious task. He that begins not to take life from (, Christ shall never live; be that doth shall never die. If we frame ourselves another form that God prescribes, we worship not him, but ourselves. It is a great mercy to enjoy the gospel of peace, but a greater to enjoy the peace of the gospel.
