BREATHE TizsoEOU TIts NOSIC.-In
Pold weather the roundabout cours' of
the air through the narrow nostrils,
warms It som6what before It strikes
the larynx, whose surpassing delicacy
ot cozstruction renders it peculiarly
liable to harm. Many a case of in
flamed tonsils, laynx, or lungs, is duo
to breathing through the mouth and
not through the nose. The beat medi
cal authorities now assures us that the
serious harm which so often results
from nasal catarria, iseaused, not by
vny "dropping" of diseased muous,
frQm the head, but by the simple fact,
that the usual passages being swollen
and partially closed, the person
breathes only through the mouth.
Wh mover the air is loadied with in
foe ton-la sick roois; in the open
air, during the prevalence of epidem
los, in malnrial districts, espeni tily at
night, when the sytein is especially
Lible to be affieted, in the a .rs an I
all crowded gatherings, for we never
know when ihre are infected persons
present-thxe rule should be observed,
to breathe through the nose. Perions
who do so are less likely to take dis
e tse. The morbid particles are quiLe
likely to lodge on the moist sides of
the nasal passages, and thence to be
washedout. When the air ts loadt d
with dust-when sweeping rooins,
beating carpets, sifting ashes, shovel
Ing coal, facing e.otids of dust in the
street, tilling iron and other metals as
a business, and wordtig in various
kinds of inills-it Is exceedingly in,
purtatnt that the rule be observed. O.e
should train himseif to sleep witlh
closed mouth. For this purpose, lie
should avoid lying on his back, iI
which posture the mouth Is imuch more
likely to open thau in any other podl
bion of the body. Tue datagcr is in
creabed by .the mouth becoming dry,
and thus less able to arrest, tlie parch
clas of dust or any luating 1iasins.
LXAF rloroGRAiI.-A simple and
eleetivo method of taking leaf photos
is as follows: Procure a few cents
worth of bi-chromcate of potash, with
which make a saturated solution. Pour
some of the clar liquid into a shallow
dish and ioi it float a piece of letter
paper till it is tioroughly and evenly
moistened, placing It in the dark to

yellow color. On this place the fern
or any other kind of leaf desired;
under it, a piece of sofb black cloth
and some folds of newanaper. Place
this between two panes of glass anti

and whitewash the bags, which is
troubl some and somewhat expensive;
suome cover them with dry wood ashea
and pack them in barrels; some pack
them in barrels and cover thoroughly
with pine shavings, but we think the
best plan of all,'and certainly the least
expensive with all who have a smoke
house and every farmer should have
a good one, Is to keep the hams hung
up in the smokehouse, which should
be kept perfectly dark at all times.
We have eaten hams so kept two
years, and they were athong the very
beat we ever tasted. Uniform dark
ness is a complete protection against
the attacks of insects.

In 'a paper recently read before the
French Academy of Sciences, Prof
Fort gave some startling instances of
the iflicacy of artificial respiration. A
three year-old chilid had apparently
died, and was conialdered as having
passed over to the majority for three
and a hlif hours. At the end of that
time Prof. Fort set up artificial res
piration and kept up the process for
tour hours, when the child returned to
life. A person had been under water
for 10 niinute, and was evidently
drowned. Dr. Fournol, of Billancourt,
however, after four hours of labor,
managed to mako natural sucoced arti
ficial breathing, and so reaninated his
patient. In some instances artificial
respiration will be found of great eill
oacy in removing poisoi from the
lungs and glands. In any c-se of as
phyxia hope should not be abandoned
until hours of trial ot'artitielal respira
tion gives no encouraging iesult.

has been to publish the fnest card yet
shown. -Applications tor them have
come in so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition Is engaged before the
receipt by us of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the.following plan for the dis
tribution of the remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakspeare cards, seven in
the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of a statement from a grocer
that the person applying for the eards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobbins' Electrio Soap,
with price paid for same. Al apply
ing in this manner will receive the Iull
set of seven cards grate by mail. This
will insure us that our friends and pa
trons get their share of these beautiful
designs, although it In np manner re
pays us for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get It, and
the purchase by you of seiren bars of
it at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and is an article of
necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked to buy a
useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your
appliation at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections," to
do the same. (rocers do ?iot have the
cards to deliver. Buy the soap 01 fkm,
send us their bill, and we will mail you
the cards free. Yqurs respectfully,
I. L. CRAGIN & Co., 116 bouth 4th
Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
P. B.-Ladies not wishing to buy
soap can get the cards by remitting
cost price. 25 cents.
APPLE CRARIoTE.-Take a loaf of
stale bread and butter the slices; pare
and slice a dozen apples; take a lemon,
grate the skin, and save the juice;
place at the bottom of a stone-ware
baking dish a layer of apples, scatter
brown sugar on it, some of the lemon
grating, and t little of the juice then
-put in a layer of the buttered bread;
keep on until your dish is full, hav
ing the crust on top; bake in a mod
erately hot oven. Do not make it too
sweet.
WILD DucK.-Wild duck should be
sealded for a few minute, in salt and
water before roasting. It the flavor
Is very strong, the duck may be skin
ned, as the oil of the skin is the objec
tionable part. After skinning, spread
with butter and thickly dredge with
flour before putting in a very quick
oven.
