TION. Physician Bald to be Amsied at Be* alts. Denison, Texas, Dec. 8.?Cottonseed oil will be the most valuable remedy for the cure of consumption that has yet beeu tried if the experiments that have just been made are as successful a? reported. Dr. J. G. Ellis, of this city, has a letter from his old friend, Dr. C. T. H!ne8, of Monroe, La., who states that it has been demonstrated beyond doubt that cotton-seed oil is the best remedy yet discovered for con sum p "* ? -- Its lion, ue says lue uibuuvcij i? i?n value was accidental. A negro working in the cotton-seed oil mill at Modroe bad been treated by several physicians for consumption. He had not improved. He went to work in the oil mill, according to the statement of DrHines. The dust made his breathing much more difficult, and this caused him to drink some of the oil which releived hid breathiflg some what. The oil acted as a substitute for food and the negro began to fatten. In a few months he was strong and healthy ? " > ? J ? rl J?e was examintu ?uu it was V/UUU | that all traces of tuberculosis had left him. The cottonseed oil had furnished nourishment to the body and had given him vigor which had overcome the disease. The result to the negro Was a revelation to the doctors of Monroe aod to test llie efficacy of the treatment they began UBing it. In fifty cases upon which they have experimented they had the greatest success in accomplishing cure*, especially the oases that have not entered the last stages. In the case of ooe person who had < .' been to New Orleans for treatment! and had returned withoat being bene-1 flted a cure was effected. In adaDtinK the cottonseed oil to the | practice the doctors have used the usual dose of creosote, which has been long used iu treatment for consumption. New Year Thought*. Why is it some" people wait for the new year to "turn over a new leaf." Because it is pleasant to ook forward to doing better,, pdrhapa. It is so ea?y to practice economy when one is dead broke, or to deny ourselves rich food when in the throes indigestion. One's birthday is the proper time to turn over a new feAf, if we ftto going MAHI/vi) fAH fhttf rvpoof ?A IAJ liavo <ft ?^V (AUiVU tut bu?v gtVMN *vform, but tbe really, truly time Is now. We are so prone to put off. Many things can afford to wait, but spiritual affairs can not, because no one knows what a day ma; brine forth. Those of us Who are fortunate ehiougli to have kept our good old servants are feeling serene. Those who j are not accustomed to having any at all are serener because they are mdei pendent. Those who are wrestling with a green hand have need of much patience to come anywhere near serenity. Laugb off tbe awkwardness. What a ble&ing laughter is! Many a woman would be in her grave or ! worse, a sanitarium, were it not for laughter. I had a " new cook " of the corn-field variety several years ago and told her to dress a chicken for broiling. After a while she called in tbe most distressed voice. "Miss Ellen come 'ere!" I went and she held out the chicken for my inBpec^ iion. "Look at 'im ain't he sick?" ! A Ko Aorroinlv InnVoH aiobr fnr aho X>.UU uv vv? V.V-, W?v had burated the gall and it spread instautly all oil over the inside of the chicken making it as green as a springing wheat field. What did I do? I laughed until I cried and then had u'im" rinsed in several cold waters which removed all trace of his illness. I have a friend who is delicate and who has a most attentive husband. One afternoon her new cook failed to put in her appearance. She was entertaining a late caller and thought the cook was about her duties. The husband came home and finding out how things were, like a good fellow, took the reins into his own hands and proceeded to carry out the domestic I affairs without disturbing bis wife. Tbe first thiDg he did was to get tbe bucket and sally to tbe cow-pen. When half through milking the patient cow decided that patience had indeed ceased to be a virtue, so she hauled away and kicked over the bucket of milk. He was dumbfounded for a moment to ihink that bis efforts of kindness was so misunderstood. Tben he grabbed the bucket and bit the cow in the bead with it. Picking up tbe bent semblance of a dollar milk pail he started angrily to tbe house, but before he reached tbe gate tbe absurdity of the whole thing appealed to him And he laughed all his anger away. Tbe new year has hrmiffht sorrow to manv of us. and to I many of us happiness. Let not the latter refrain from pouring out her sunshine into the house of gloom, for th? more she gives away the more she will have. Tbe Farmer|nDd the Trusts. The farmer Is nearer out of the reach of the trusts than the man of any profession. He can burn his own wood, ^eat his own beef, pork, mutton, eggs and corn cake, and sleep under a roof that is not mortgaged to any corporation.

The little ones of the household should be encouraged to remember the poor e birds, so dependent at this time of 1' year upon such assistance. Remains of n cold boiled potatoes, broken small, will be picked up eagerly; a bandful of t rolled oats will be a perfect feast, and 8 cooked rice, barley, peas, etc. left from p a meal, are all much appreciated by ? them. The; pleasure of watching the birds is very great?especially no cbil- a dren, whose natural love towards all dumb creatures is intensified by the b knowledge that they are befriending t them, and perhaps saving them from a n cruel death.

' America* P We are glad to know that a testimonial was given to the author of our " sublime national hymn, which, adopt- D ing the English tune of "God Save the c Queen," is now sung by the millions P of our own country. n When In 1869, a{ the feativ&l of the n great Congress of our Humane Socie- tt ties of all nations at Zurich, Switzer- p laud, this tune was played by tbe band, and we, in company with tbe English delegation, rose and stood while it was played, we astodinbed c somewhat tbe Germans, who, in their ? turn. Anton ifcha<1 ns hv tallincr us that It it was also a. national tune of Ger- 01 many. b We well remember at a later time, 01 at the English cathedral at To- a ronto, hose we eDjoyed joining with ^ the great Cathedral Sunday-school in singing it. , May the time soon come, In the progress of humanity, when in place of * battle-songs like the Marseillaise, all " nations shall sincr not ftori hlfifla bines D? ?

On this point & some curious experiment were re- A ported from Italy as to the effect of 6 colors on tbe nerves of the sick and in- ft sane. In the hospital for insane at 4 Allessandria special rooms are arrang- n ed with red or blue paint on tbe walls. A violent patient is brought suddenly ?! into a blue room and left to the effects ^ of that color on his nerves. One ma- ? iiiac was oured in an hour; another ti was at pqpce in his mind after passing * a day in a room all violet. The red k room is used tor the commonest form of dementia (melancholy), usually ac- v companied by a refusal to take food. After three hours in the red room a a patient afflicted in this way began to be cheerful and asked for food. Pointed Paragraphs. Students of ancient history are never up to date.

MPROVIfiQ EARTH ROADS WITH CLAY AND SAND. low to Mix and Apply Them to Se? rare the Beat Reanlts?The Die of Road Machines In uuiiaing men Highways. Id an Interesting address delivered at he Greenville (Mich.) good roads con ention Fraak F. Rogers, 0. E., had he following to say regarding the imirovement of earth roads: If you must always have an earth oad and cannot get gravel or stone at . reasonable cost, put clay on the sand nd sand on the clay. When these beome suitably mixed, they will form a rtnt nf hnrrinnn mflklmr fl verv STOOd bad surface at most seasons of the fear. . Of course, the clay Is good when lard and dry and the sand quite passage when the weather Is so wet that lobody wants to travel, but to secure medium earth road, good the greatBt number of days in the year, that It i possible to make it, this is the best Method that we can prescribe It should be borne in mind that neiber improvement is very good until uitably mixed, and clay should be applied to sand in a manner to secure bat mixture as speedily as possible nd vice versa. Decide on the width of a given road etween ditches?say twenty to twen y-four ,feet not much narrower and ot much wider. These are economical rtdtha, and the lack of uniformity in his particular is one of the greatest Tils of our lack of system In road uilding all over this country. Bring be road to a suitable crown from welve to eighteen Inches above the ide gutters. This, however, will have d be varied to meet the special needs f drainage for the locality, and should large ditch be required on a narrow oad it should be entirely outside the egular gutter, which will protect the ehicles from the danger of tipping ver. To prepare thfc bed It may have to be lo*ed toward the cehter, but, if So^ o not disturb the old roadbed unless bsolutely necessary. After plowing, arrow thoroughly, take a road mabine and shape the whole bed to a erfectly rounded 6hape and roll till o more compacting Is possible with a aller weighing four tons or more. A arm roller If of little use for this parose. After the bed 1b properly shaped and Dlled as described take a road mabine ahd crowd enough earth to each [de of a central strip of such width as : may be desirable to cover with clay r gravel. This being done, clay should e applied on sand to the depth of five r six Inches where no gravel is used nd to the depth of three of four inches rhere a dressing of as much gravel an be placed upon the clay. After the lAy is applied, it may be leveled with road machine If well pulverized, or, ! lumpy, It may be lfeveled by first >lling to crush the lumps, then harjwing till smooth, but in each case it, lust be rolled till hard after a smooth iirface has been secured. Where no gravel is used the clay inst be covered with from one to two U- ?AII <1 icura ut muiu uy xcvciom^ uic iuau lachlne and crowding a little of the orpins sand from the sides to the enter. Thia will prevent the roads rom becoming muddy at the first wet pelL If a top dressing of gravel is sed, it should be applied to the thin oat of clay immediately after foiling, a en be brought to a true surface by tie use of a road machine and rolled ill it Is thoroughly compacted. If the reather la dry, the gravel should be ept sprinkled during the final rolling. When sand is used on clay, we anally secure as good results as by utting clay in sand, for it does not lways prevent mud when the ground i extremely soft A clay road should lw?no ha wall nltoH with trrwl hIHa Itches, which must quickly take the rater to Its nearest natural outlet, rhlch In turn must always be so rell kept as to take the water at once way from the road allowance. Sand hould be applied to clay after the lcklng is done, without forming any lepresslon for Its reception, as has een recommended for gravel. Sand hould never be applied at a season of be year when a long dry spell Is expected, but rather Immediately before ret fall weather and winter sets In, o that by the next season It may beome sufficiently mixed with clay to iroduce the condition already referred a The same practice should be emiloyed when any considerable depth f loose gravel is applied to a clay soil rith the expectation that travel will oake It hard. The application of sand and gravel o clay, as above described, can be done n ifivpm pi vine time for the first layer o pack before the second Is applied, t is often advisable to wait till the text fall before the second layer is pplied, thus giving time to watch remits and use Just the depth required o secure the best effect, as well as to conomize material. After all this is lone, we have not secured a permanent oad suited to heavy traffic, and we hall be obliged to look to the better grades of gravel and broken stone to iroduce any roads that may really be | tailed permanent The Care of Earth RoaAi. Earth roads hould be repaired, particularly in the spring and fall of the rear, but the mistake of letting them ake care of themselves during the >alance of the year should not be nade. The greatest need of the comnon road In this country is daily or weekly care. A road receiving dally ittention will require no extensive re alrs and Instead of becoming worse vill gradual]- improve. It Is minute md frequen. homeopathic treatment hat the earth road needs. HOW TO BE HEALTHY. B?1m to Be Obaerred In the Matter < of Diet And Exerclae. Positively avoid a habitual diet com' < poeed too exclusively of one kind of J food, such as meats or cereals. Such < & diet leads Inevitably to disease. < Many cases of sickness, palpitations, < curvy, skin diseases and headache are directly due to this Improper diet. Bear in mind that sugar and all sug&rea or Birupy suusumtw, uixieoa sparingly used, are the most Injurious of the foods In ordinary use. They render digestion Imperfect and by their seductive taste are liable to Induce overeating. Eat sparingly of fruit, preserves, veal, pork, young lamb, kid, ham, ba^ con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, oils, fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich desserts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked bread and foods which form adherent pastes. Avoid cold drinks at mealtime, except In hot days. Avoid uncomfortably hot drinks. Avoid eating at irregular hours. Never overrule your appe tlte, which is the best index of the ainount of food yoa need, except in the course of diseases that require a special diet Satisfy your appetite, not your glut- j tony; satisfy your thirst, not your craving. ' Salt your food sufficiently, because , salt fe an aid to digestion, but not < more than needed to suit the taste. , Eat less rapidly and chew your food more. The stomach wants only well . chewed food. The teeth were made ; for that special purpose. If they are ? pbor or missing, seek the dentist's aid. * Avoid violent exercise and severe , mental exertion just after meal, but a \ moderate exercise, as walking, will ? aid digestion. \ Wash your hands with soap and wa- ? +*r hpfnrp each meal, even If they do ' not appear unclean. Brtsh your teeth inside and outside at least once a day, and rinse yonr month after each meal. When your stomach is out of order, give it a rest by fasting half a day or by taking only a little fluid food. Remember that the wholesomest meats are beef, mutton and poultry cud that beef and mutton are most easily digested and wholesome when broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried. Remember that pure water is the most natural and wholesome beverage. A glass of pure water every morning before breakfast will go far toward preventing sickness and extending life toward the century mark. How to Make Turkey Shortcake. Make a biscuit dough and bake it in a shallow square tin, as for ffult shortcake. Take one cupful of cold turkey, minced; beat wltn one cuprui ot gravy < and season with one-half teaspoonfnl 4 of salt and one saltspoonfnl of .pepper. ! When the crust Is done, split and put < the meat between the layers, pour the \ sauce over It and garnish with parsley. < . - i How to Hike Potato Keiti. 1 Lattice potatoes are an excellent ac- ) companiment to the fish course and aft- 4 ? a few trial efforts are easily prepar- J ed. Wash and pare the potatoes and < let them stand for a time In Ice water. J Ctrt them Into very narrow strips, throwing them Into Ice water as they are cut Then drain and thoroughly ; dry enough to pack into a strainer i which is about the size of a teacup and : force into the middle of the potatoes a i smaller strainer. Pry this in deep, very hot fat When a golden brown, remove the two strainers and stand the ] potato nest on soft brown paper. Re- j peat the process until there is a nest j * *- Da#awa oomrlnof nlflpp ! lor eauu pemuu. wnuc >uS f?? them on a tin In the oven to heat Fill the nests with fish a la reine and serve on a bed of cress. Bow to Make Tooth Powder. Take half an ounce each of powdered orris root and prepared chalk and add to them one teaspoonfal of bicarbonate of soda. Mix thoroughly. The soda acts as an antlacid and neutralizes the adds of the mouth, while the chalk and orris are gritty enough to remove any particles of food which may cling to the teeth. How to Treat the Llpi, The lips should never be rubbed with tronz scent, such as eau de cologne or vinegar or lemon. Friction Is also very bad for their well being. Lipu may be only a pale pink, but if they are smooth and soft they will look attractive. Rouge 1b also very bad for the lips. Some women have a stupid way of "biting the color Into their lips." Not only does this unwise practice make the skin very sensitive, but , it also thickens and swells the lips till they lose all charm. How to Make Raw Beef Tea. This Is ordered in some Illnesses. Take one-quarter pound of lean beef, hred It finely and place In a jar with one-quarter pint of cold water. Cover It and allow it to stand for two hours. Strain off the liquid and use at once, as ' 44 ? Ti A Ka nAtmn/1 In It Will QOt Keep. 11 OUWU1U UC DCi Ttu u< ft colored glass. How to Bake Onions.
