DOMESTIC. AIRDIoINzs.--We are a medlcine-taking people-at least to far too great an extent. "What shall I take?" is asked far smore often than "What shall I dol" The aged and experienced among medical men, as a rule, recommend but little-and that only when indicated by common sense. Biut the people will take it-buying it fromt peddlers, horse-jockeys, grocers, etc.,ali as ignorant of the nature of the remedies and of diseases as themselves. In most instances, when feverish, if one would bathe, sweat, fast, breathe more of the pure air of heaven, bask in the sun, drink freely of pure water, keep cahn and quiet, give up Ltbacco and whisky, the fever woul'l itarve. Pure air renovates the blood far more than aursaparilii; the light of the sun is one of the best anodynet; good fcoot is one of the best tonics; fast ing and exercise are among the best up peti'zers. If we will but take care of our selves, eat only plain food and only what nature demands, cease to overwork and fret, be regular in all our habits and sleep all we can fairly, we shall take less medicine. CoNsTIrATiON may be removed by drink Ing a tumbler of cold-water on rising in the morning. To OBTAIN a good night's sleep, sponge the Cn!ire length of the spine wiLth hot water for ten or fifteen milnutes. Fon chapped skin. take of oxide of zinc, one dram; lard, two ounces. It is also good for any kind of sores. Fox neuralgia, take a good handful of the coninion fleid or Canada thistle. Pour two quarls of boiling water on, and boil dIown to three pints; take a wineglass full three tliles a diy before meals. The following is recomiendecd as a cure for neuralgie headache: Squeeze the Juice of a lemon into a mnall cup of strong coffee. This Will usually afford imme diate relief in neuralgic headacho. Tea ordinary increases neuralgic pain, ai ought iot be used by persons ifllieted with it. JLYCiuaNP IN FI.ATULYxoy AND AciniTy. -An old gentlemnn, who for many years suffered from distressing acidity, readi in a (aily paper that glycerine added to I ilk prevents itssouring, and Io reasoned Itltis: "If glycerine prevents milk turning sour, why should it not prevent ie turning sour?" and lhe resolved to try t le efllency of glycerine for his aciti y. The success o1 his experiment was complete, and when ever tormented by his ohl inahily he cures himself by a re:oumrse to glycerine. In deed, lie can now itke articles of food from which he Was4 previously compiielled to abt. stain, provided il wiays 'hat h le takes a drain of glycerine iimieliately before, with, )Ir directly afler his food. Aineo this was made pubbie several physicians have pre scribed glycerine in acidity and flatuilency with the most happy results.

For similar reason a straw tick is better that a hor-ehair matiress. ithough a woveI-wi re matIress Is perhapsi preferable to both. Fiather beds are a recognized numistance. Children over 10 years should sleep alone, or at least under separate blankets, if the bed steads do not reach aroiund.

WALEiNO loRsa.-Running the risk of being set down as an old fogy, we will say that In our opinion tWe beet gait a horse ever had for every day use Is a walk; but it is a gait that not one in ten possess es. Colts are not trained to walk. Young America wants more speed. Horses trained to walk tast would be a greater benefit to farmers in general than fast trotters, as al most all of his woik has to be done with a walk. Horses that are engaged in hauling on the roads, that are trained to walking fast, will make a longer distance in a daiy than horses will that are urged to trot at every convenient place, because, when a horse commences to walk after a trot, he will go much slower than his coninn gait if kept on a walk, and the consequence is that lie will loose more than he gained. Where horseback traveling is indulged in, especially over muddy roads. any other gait than walking is rendered impossible, and yet a horse that hs been trained to walking fast even over 'bad roads, will make from four to live miles an hour, but since the introduction of hght wagons a horse woulk be expected to make a greater (listance when hauling the wagon over the same road, though it would be by the aid of the whip, und.very nuch to the prejud ice of the poor aninial. These one-horse buggies have put horse back riding out of fashion, am(n now a good walking horse is more rare than one that can trot a mile In less than three minutes. It is, however, to the interest of the farmer that lie should train his horse to walk fast. Ilow Cinema1CNS o(Er oTr OF SHimi.s.-Take in egg out of a nest, on which a hen has had her full time; carefully holding It to the Car, turning it around, you will find tlie exact rpot, which the little fellow is picking on tile inside of the shell; this lie will do until the inside shell is pciforated, aid the shell Is forced outward as a small scale, leaving a hole. Now, if you will talko one of the eggs in this condition from imd-r the hen, remove it to the house or some other suitable place, put it In a box or nest, keeping It warm and moist, as near the temperature of the hon as possi. ble (which may be done by laying it be tween two botles ot warm water upon some'cottn or wool), and lay a glass over the box or nest, then you can sit or stand, as is most convenient, and witness the true modus operandi. Now watch the little fellow work his way into the wori(l, and you will be amused and instructed, as I have often been. After lie has got his opening lie commences at nibbling motion with the point of the upper bill on the olitside of the shell, always working to the rigti (if you have the large end of the egg froni you and the hole upward) until he has worked his way almost aroui(d, say witi one-half an inch in a perfect circle; he then forces the cap or but end of the shell off, and then has a chance to straight en his ieck, thereby loosening his legs soiewhat, and so, by their help, forcing the body fromii the shell.
