Thle p o n (Baltimore Ameriean.) srsdtor: 1 teldon aj)par publicly In print, but the facts connected with my experience which follow - are so striking;:and bear so closely upon the experienoe of others, that I venture to reproduce theil entire: In the month of Septembor,; 1879, I was practicing medicine in New Orleans. The summer had been. excessively hot and everybodyl was complaining of being ex - hausted and-.feping tired, it was not an unfrequent occurrence to have patients ask for something to redefe this Wiry' asdia tion, ancj that I should also partake of the same~diverial lapitude or wdakness, did not alarm ni I upposed that over-wor.c and exposure 4&4 produced 4 temporary physical pros&,atio; .therefore I! made a. trip to St. Paul, Minn.,thinking that a few weeks In a cooler eltgna"e would soon rein vigorate me. -' I4ttl' did I dream, howe er, what waa~in tore for me. - Atter get ting settled in my new quarters 1 took a short walk every day, and patiently await ed a return of strengthi, but in spitq of all my e w'. ]sbeiheil t9 bo lsing-strength; and eton 'iny'sligh ekercise becaie 'labd rious and tiresowie. . P ug this. time I had frequent 410 Ac .ains in my head and through my back and hips, occasional shooting pains in various parts of the body, with soreness, shortness of breath, and pal pitation of the heart. My feet and hands would be like ice one day, and burn with heat the next. I had no desire for food, and w 4t I did est distressed me; my sleep becan e dIaturbdd'with the frequent desire to urinate. The.quantity of fluid passed would at one time be small and at another quite prof use. Then for days I would be perfectly 'ree from this desire and nothing seemed to be the matter; nevertheless my debility gradually increased. My eyelids were puffed out; my bo ois were alternate ly torpid andetod ichi e,ithe urin4 wOkild be clear sonie days, on others it would be of high.colgrand deposit. a black dust sedl ment, and it still others there would be a whitish appearance and a thin greasy scum would rise to the top, The pains in my head, back, Abest, joiti;bowels and bones were horrible in the extreme. I went in vain from place to place and consulted the best medical authorities the- country af fords; I wpuld have a chill one (lay and a burning tever the next. I suffered excru ciatingly with a nunibuess of my fet and hands, and at the base of the bram and be tween my shoulders; at tines my limbs and body would bloataand phylcians -said I was suffering ffoin the dropsy and could not recover. llow I could be so blind to the terrible trouble that was devouring me, I do not know; but there are thousands to-day who are suffering from the saie cause and are as ignorant of its nature as I was. My skin was the color of marble at one tine, and then again it would be like saiffron, and I his terriblb restlessness, and I might say wildness, was followed 1y a dull, heayy, drowsy sensation. I was wasted to a nt-re skeleton except when the dropsical bloat occurred. I tried all the celebrated min iral waters of this country and 10,urope; all kinds of medicine and all kinds of doctors. 'itill no help came. 1 lay at my hotel in Philadelphia, where I was temporarily so jouruing, given up by friends and physi cians alike,* when there providentially came into my hands a little pamphlet which 1 carefully read, and fioim which I got a view of my real coindition, which no oilier agency had revealed. Acting on its advice, .I had my water analyz~ed at once, and to my surprise, albumen andl tube casts were found in large quant~ies, A skillful physielan was scnt for and~ aipprisedt of the fact. He said I had liright's Dis ease, aiid that death wuas certain. lily friends importuned me to lake a remedy which had won a great reputation for the cure of aill forms ot' kidney dilsease, and I therefore laid adido my p~rejudice and com mienced its uso. At flret my stomtach re. jectedi It and I had to use small quiantities; biut after the lirst five (lays my stomach re tained full dgsca.

ADMINWIStRiN DiUes To DOGS AND Pias.-The following Is the safest method oFt giving medicine to dogs in a liquid form Tie the mouth and have him hold firmly. Then draw out the cheek, which acts as a funnel, and pour down the fluid. It he elenclies the teeth so as to exclude the liq. uid, but a bit of wood between them. In giving a bolus or ball, one person should hold the dog between his knees, the hinder part realing on the floor. Another person then torces open the mouth by pressing the forefinger and ti umb of the left hand upon the lips of the upper jaw, and with the right thrusts the ball far enough back toward the animal's gullet to insure its ready passage to the stomach. To prevent disgust and. sickness nau seous medicines should be enveloped in thin paper or in a thin flour wafer. When ever possible the necessary medicine should be introduced into the food of the pig. If this is impossible small pigs may be drenphed by seizing them by both cars, placing them between the legs, and lifting them% a few inches from the ground. The medicine, previously mixed, is gradually poured Into the mouth from an iron spoon by another person, the elevation of the head causing the mixture to pass back ward, and thus be swallowed. For large pigs, the operator can hold the head firmly between his knees, while an assistant ee cures the hinder portions. The first, litt ing the heart 1 little, turns it somewhat to the right, separates the lips on the right side, when lie can pour the contents of the horn or bottle into the angle of the mouth. Or again, the animal may be secured by a running noose to a rost, and then be drenched by a single person. Tnz tortilla is a kind of bread hsed by the Mezas (we Americans call them May az), the aboriginal natives et Yucatan. It is cake made of crushed cornwhich is first boiled, then soaked in lye to sotten the imsk, then repeatedly washed In water, with which it is ground into a paste on a ones, "metates" which are said to be the same as those used in ancient Egypt.ThIn, circular cakes, about six inches in diamte ter, are made of till& paste, about one eighth of an inch thick, and baked, or rather 'hcated through," on an hon slab, and they are eaten with ground chill pods or red peppers. It Is lnteresting to know that the people wio eat this kind of bread men and women, are exceedingly clean in their habits and amazingly honest. They .are said to be quick to learn.

I have seen Polled Anaus heifers, at 2 years 1ld, weigh 1800 pounds. These were ac :ected inl Englaild fnd iliported. Both flerefords and Short-horns have equaled it, and I venture the assertion that, it an equal nuiiher of the best speciiens of those breeds were selected anid placett uidr the same conditions, there would be scaicely any diffironce in the profit for beef.

DOMESTI. OQAP OoAe.-The novefty of the present season in outdoor garments is a revival of thle winter cloak of many years ago, shaped and modified in ac aordance with the better ideas of to-day. This cape cloak is useful and economi ual; the cape is not detached, but forms part of the cloak; i6 admits of a slight drapinn at the, back, and. constitutes the sleeves. which partake of the dol man or visite form. It is fitted in at the back, and therefore presents a neat wad lady-like appearance, and may be serviceably made in cloth with a braided trimming for border, and also down the Ientre of the back, if that is liked. It [s a much more desirable form of cloak ror the country, for .church wear, and for riding than the circular, which ex poses the arms and chest. It is beauti rully made in dark shades of cloth, and Uiso in cashmere cloth in small palm patterns, with olive shades in them. 'hese should have a black velvet collar. Another cloak, an imported design, is a itraight sack with mandarin sleeves and lark velvet collar. It is made in striped Dhinese silk and wooi stuffs with gold and black in them, the stripes narrow md indistinct; the lining is quilted sat in. Brocaded volvets and pi essed plush ire us 3d for the outside of the richest garments, exceptiag the few made in very rich plain velyets, lined with splen lid furs and clasped with precious metals, Naturally, of these there are few. but they must be said to occupy the first place, the cost being trom $500 to $1000. APPETIZrNG SANDwIcMES.-Take equal quantities of the breast of a cold boiled :hicken and of cold boiled tongue. Dhop them very fine; so fino, in fact, that you cannot distinguish the separate particles. Add a good largo half-tea spoonful of celery salt, a pinch of cay. nne pepper and four tablospoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing. This quantity of condiments will be enough to seasion the breast of one large chicken and an equal quantity of tongue. When this is perfectly cold, spread some thin slices of broad with butter. and then with this mixture. Do not prepare them till you are about ready to serve them. If you wish to take sandwiches for a lunch when traveling, be careful not to make the dressng quite so moist as you would if they are to be eaten at homo. The better way, if you do not obj-ect to the trouble, is to put the salad filling in a small glass jar, and spread the sand wiches as you need thein. DEVILLED CRAD.-One doZon fresh crabs, boiled and pickled (or one cin of lresh oral) meat), quarter (of a pound or fresh butter, one dc-sertspoonful of mustard powder, cayenno pepper and salt to tasto. When canned crab is used, draw all the liquer from the meat into a bowl, and mix carefully with an equal quantity of line bread crumbs. Work the butter to a light cream, mix the mustard well Aiith it, then stir In very carefully a handful at a time of the mixed crabs and crumbs. Season to taste with 'ayenne and salt, fill the crab shells with the mixture, sprinkle bread crumbs over the tops, put three small pieces of butter upon the tops of each, and brown thenm quickly in a hot oven, They will puff in baking, and will be found very nice. EvEnYv neuse--Wilo should knOw that sugar boiled withi an acid, if it be but three minutes, wvill be converted into a glucose, which is the form of sugar found in sweet apples.

A BAn-H~unaon Dish. -Take half a piounld of sadt, pork, cut ini sall pieces, fry them till brown; take them owa, and ini the fat thus obtained put a pound1( of haddock or of fresh codllsha, half a dozen potatoes cut in thin slices, bomne crackers or pieces of hard bread broken in small bits, half a teacupful of sweet m'a lump of butter the size of a small egg, and pepper and salt to tasto; thickenu with a little flour rubbed smooth with the butter. When the potatoes are done serve. PUTaINo AN Eoo rN A BOTTLE. -To accomplish this seemingly incredible act requires thue following preparation: You must take tan egg and soak it in vinegar amnd in process of time its shell wvili become quite soft, so that it may be extended lengthwise without break ing, then insert it in the neck of a small bottle and on pouring cold water upon it, it will assume its former figure and hardness. This is really a curiosi ty, and baffles those who are not in the secret, to find out how it is acomplishe,,d. Oiuu dram of carbolic aold, six dtrops of oil of lavendoer, and two and a half ounces of olive fornmed the preseiption which proved effectual in destroying a parasitic affection of the moustache of a gentleman who co'sulted Dr. George Thuin, London, England. The hair had fallen cut, and a sort of baldnes occurr. ed in spots, but after the application of tuae remedy the hair grew again as thick and healthy as bef. rai the p~arasitos had attacked it. GELATINS FnosTso.-Soak one tea. sp~oonful of gclatiine in a tablespoonful of cold water till it is soft; it will take about half an hour to accomplish this; then dissolvo it ini two tablespoonfuls of hot water; stir in whale still 'warm one cup of pulverized suagar; keep on stir ring until the Irosting is perfectly smooth, This Is a quantity sufficient for the top of a large cake.

HtJMOROUSR Tmn stranger carelessly tucked away in his vest pooket the change of a 85 note that a brooklyn bartender handed to him after serving a warm drink, There was nothing strauge in that, but subsequently the bartender said to the bystanders:. "I have made a customer of that man. How? Why, as easy as rolling off a log. I have given him a fifty-cent piece with a hole in it. He'll come in to-morrow when he's going by, politely call for a drink, inform me in the kind. est manner that I have unintentionally put in on him a fifty-cent piece with a hole in it. To all of which I will reply good-naturedly that I am really sorry, and ask the man to take a drink with me. We are both feelug quite satisfied with each other, and there is no refus ing.
