A STiANdE REMNIHENUE. The FOSape of a Well known ex.Arin trin-ou fromi an Untorseen Danger. (11altimiore American.) Atc.qwr-. Naitor&: I seldom appnar publicly In print, but the facts connected with my exp.!i ience which follow are so striking, and boar so rT t', closely upon the experience 'of others, that I venture to reproduce them entire: 7In the month of September, 1879, I was prat,ticing medicine in Now Orleans. The summer had been excessively hot and everybody was complaining of bei ng ex haitel and fooleng tired, it was not in onrequentt occurrence to have patients ask for something to rnleve this weary sonsa tion, and that I should also partake af tb seme universal lassitude or weakness, did not alarm me, I supposed- that over-work and exposure had produced a temporary physical prostration; therefore I made a trip.to St. Paul, 1nn.,ttDinkg that a few weeks In a cooler cliniate would soon rein vigorate me.ytte did I dream, howev er, what *ras in store for -no. *After get-. ting settled in my new quarters took a short walk every day, and patiently await ed a return di strength, but n spite of all ny efforts I seemed to be losing strength; and even.-any slight exercise becamue labo rious and tiresome. During the time I had freqient dull ching pains in my head and through my back and hips, occasional shoot ig pains in various parts of the body, with sereness, shor'ness of breath, and pat pitation of the heart. My feet and hands would be like Ice one day, and burn with heat the nex. I had no desire for fooi, and what I did eat distressed me; my sleep became disturbed with the frequent desire to urinate. The quantity of fluid passed would at.one time be small and at another quite prouse. as Then for days I would be perfectly free from this desire and nothlug Ereemed to be the matter ; nevertheles my debihbty gradually increased. ly eyhds were puffed out; oy bowels were alternate ly torpid ad too active, the urine would be clear some dayN on others it would be t high color and deposit a black dust sedi ment, and at still others there would be a whitish appearance and a tin greasy s(-umi would rise to the top. The pains in my head, back, chet, Joltts,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 lords; I would bave bill one day and a burming fever the next. I suffered excru cintingly with a numbness of my feet and h wnds, and at the base of the bram and be Itween my shoulders; at timecs my lumbE anid body would bloat and physicians said I was sufering from the dropsy and could niot recover. How I could be so blind to the terrible trouble that was devouring me, I do not know; but there aro thousands to-day who tire suffering from the samec cause and are as ignorant of its nature as I was. Aly skin was the color of marble at one time, and then again it would be like saffron, and t his terrible restlessness, and I might say wilness, was followed [y a dull, heavy, drowsy sensation. I was wasted to a mere skeleton except when the dropsical bloat occurred. I tried all the celebrated mn eral waters of this country and Eirope; all kinds of medicine and all kinds of doctors. Mtill no help caine. 1 lay at my hotel in 11Philadelphia, where I was temporarily so journing, given up by friends and physi cians alike, when there providentially camne into my hands a little p)amhlet which 1 carefully read, and fronm widu I got a view of my real condition, which no oilier agency had revealed. Acting on its iadvice, 1 had niy water analyzed at once, and to my surprise, albumen and tube cas5ts were found in large qimantitics, A skIllful physician was sent for and appr)isedl of the fact. lie said I had Bright's Dis e*ase, aiid that (leath was certain. My I riend(s importuned mue to take a remedy which had won a great rep)utationi for thme cure of all forms of kidney disease, and I thierefore laid aside my prejudice and coim mecedC( its uisc. At first my stomach re jected it and I hand to use small quiantities; but after the first Ive (lays my stomach re iiimued full doses. This was one year ago last Ootober, and my implrovement was rapid andi permanent. 1 have regained 50b of the 65 pounds of flesh I lost duting my illness, and I feel as well to-day as I ever 'lid, and I can unreservedly state that my life was saved by Warner's Safe Kidney andm Liver Cure, the remedy I used. It imay seem strange that I, being a phy aician and an ex-armiy surgeon, did not hatve the water analyzed before; but such isi the fact. I had the symptoms of every oilier disease, and I di not suspect that my kidneys were In 'the least p)articular omit of order; andl here Is just where 1 was in the greatest danger, anid where mnost people who readi this article are mn (dainger. I lInd that 1 am only one of thousanids who are sufferiag from kidney disorders, whih neglected, surely terminate In Bright's dis ease. 1 also know that physicians may treat these dhsorders for months without, knowing clearly what the troub)le is, and even after ascertaining the cause, be una ble to prevent It. When decathi, however, linally overtakes the helpless victim they disguise its real cause, attributing it to heart duaease, convulsions, ap)opleSxy, ver tugo, paralysis, spinal meningitis, biood and ureinic poisoning, etc., etc. Words, 01 course, fail to exprcss my thanks to it. II. Warner & Co., of Roch aster, N4.

AGRIOULTURA FRTILITY INORRASRD BY ROTATION. When the farm annually yields to its fu capacity there is extracted from the so those elements that principally constitu its riches or fertility, and unless the soil fed with matter containing those elemen of fertility it will in the course of time fa to repay for-the labor and capital requirt in its cultivation. Most farmers are awai of that tact and use barnyard manure an commercial fertilize ts iii order to suppl the deficiency. We have within our powt however, the means by which the soil ca be recuperated and restored to fcrtilitj and every prudent farmer takes advantag of such opportunities in order to bring h farm to the highest degree of productivc ness. The practice cf rotation of cro; is essential to good farming, and it : by such a system that the most ferttl suctions have betn kept to their standar conditiou. How rotation ccomplishes so desirabI a result is not a hard matter to solve, fu plants, like animals, differ in their ineth ode of growth and feeding capacities. Whe a field is occupied by clover, the crop when plowed under or fed to atock on th farm and again returned in the shape o manure, adds additional matter to the soil When fed to animals, only a portion rc turns, but when the whole crop goes undo the quantity is very large. But, as a cro of clover is sometimes too valuable for th plow, we still have the advantage of know ing that tho sod ant roots are very crLIe ing. Olover is a lime and potash plan requiring but little applied nitrogen i make its growthr and yet, by shading th soil, and through its power of utilizing th nitrogenous materials of the soil and a iosphere, it returnf mere nitrogen to th soil than those crops that depend largel on that substance. Now does it take froi the soil a dInproportionate quantity ( phosphoric acid, which is another advau tage in its favor. As clover takes froi tte soil lime and potasti principally, leaves the ground, when removed, in goc condition for some crop that protects n wIogen and phosphoric acid. Experient has taught farmers that wheat or corn capable of tilling a place in thu rotatioi and such system is generally on well cu tivated larms, wheat, clover and corn to lowing in successive order. In some sections the piactice is a hot crop, that is, III addition to the 1se 01 11 Cultivator, the hoe is passed once throug the coriield,which uiore thorouguly crac icates weedq. It calls (or more labor c tue corn, but saves it on the weeds. Th rOtition is not, hiowe:ver,complete withot a roo; 0101) of soIC kind, and this, joine with the hurdling of sheep, as is done I Einglaud, will bring an almost barren iel, in the course of a few years to a ferti conditMa. O,ar system of rotation is tc nairow und ishouhl take in other crot that are prefitable, in order that the ec ients 01 plant food sliou;l be (istribute as evenly as possible when removed b> crops. Another advantage in rotation is that a soils contain fortiity to a certain degrec Bven in the best o1 sol;s there are dormau or insoluble substances valiable in cowj sition, and when they are not bieing appr< priated by an occupying crop are gradu ally being reduced and rendered soluble a pint-food Jor the succeeding crop, an thus rotation not only pr eents the loss partLeular substances in excess but coi vertsi the locked-upi eilememsu ot the so into Iree and alssIiiabtle lmiter. in thb uniltry nio tystemi ci rotation is cmplel withoeit clover; ini England it. must coahma, to euitivation of root crops andt slhee pasIlturage.

DOMETIO,1 HniTs FOR Tfs LAuNDit.--Evory 11 housekeeper knows how vexatious it is 1l to have colored fabrics ruined in the e process of cleansing. A few practical la hints about washing calicoes, percales a and muslins will therefore be of real 11 service. Before washing black and d white, stone, slate or maroon colored e cotton goods, dip them in a solution of d salt and water. made by dissolving two y cupfuls of salt and water in ten quarts ir of cold water, and hang themin a shady n place to dry. The salt sets the colors. I When dry, wash in a light suds in the e usual way. Calicoes and muslins do S uot require a hot suds; water moderately 1- warm is best. Never allow them to a soak in the water. Wash quickly, turn 8 the wrong side out and dry in the shade. 0 A little salt in the rinsing water is an d improvement. Another way is to mix two cupfuls of wheat bran in cold water, e making a smooth paste; then stir it in r to one quart of soft .warm water. Let it bo1J one hour, then strain into five or six quarts of soft warm water. No soap is necessary, for bran has cleansing , properties of its own, If there is black in the dress, or any other color that is liable to "run," add a tablespoonful of r salt. Rinse thoroughly in the water. P For starch, use a little white glue water, e cool and clean. Always iron on the wrong side with a moderately hot iron. . Blue, stone, slate and brown-colored articles may also be made to retain their o color perfectly by adding sugar of lor.1 a to the water in which they are to be e washed. Dissolve one ounce of sugar of lead in a pailful of hot water; stir 0 carefully until it is thoroughly dissolved, Y and let the mixture cool. When about a milk-warm, put in the articles and let ,f them remain an hour. Hang up to dry before washing. When dry, wash as n directed in bran water. The sugar of it lead fixes the color permanently, so that d treatment with it will not need to be i. repeated. Use this prepaiation with e caution, sugar of load is poisonous. To is wash brown linen, take enough good k, timothy hay to fill a ton quart kettle I- two-thirds full when pressed down; I- cover it with soft water, and let it boil until the water assumes a dark greenish d color. Make flour starch in the usual e way, and strain the hay-water into it h after it becomes cool or tepid; let the li- nen soak ten or fifteen -minute--not i longer-then wash- without soap. I di 0 vido the preparation into two parts, it using one for rinsing. Linen dresses d and dusters washed in t1lis way will n look now as long as they last, Friut or dl wine stains can be rom.>ved from silk, " woolen or cotton goods by sponging Stheu gently with ammonia and alcohol -a t- aspoonful of ammonia to a wine - glass of alcohol. Fmish with clear al cohol. The fumes of a lighted match Y will remove remnants of stains. WHAT GIRLS ,5nOULD LaEARN.-By all means lot the girls learn bow to cook. t What right has a girl to marry and go Into a house of her owu uuless she knows how to superintend every branch of housekeeping, and she cannot prop 8 erly supqrinteud unless she has some d p actical knowledge herself? Most men marry without thinking whether the woman of his choice is capable of cook Sing hinm a meal, and it is a pity he is so * short-sighted, as his health, his cheer U fuleess, and, indeed, his success in life a depends in a very great degroe upon the P food he oats, in fact the nousehold is e influenced by their diet. Fed thomn -on fried cakes, fried meats, hot bread, Sday after day, and they will need medi nine to make t.hmem well. A man will take alcohol to coutoract the evil eifets of such food, and the wife and children muist be physicked, Let all the girls Y have a shire in housekeeping at home t before they marry; let each superintend S- some department by turn. It need not -ocu'Jpy half the iiue to see that the Shouse has been properly swept, dusted V and put in ordoer, or to prepare p)uddings and make dlishes, that many young 1lathies spend in reading novels that en iervate both mind and body, and un'lt .1 e for overy-day life. WVomen do not, as a general rule, get pale facL by doing housework. I heir sedentary 'habits, in overheated rooms, combined with ill-chosen food, are to blame for Cbad health. Our mothers .used to pride theseles on their housekeeping and fine nmeedlho work. Why should not our daughters ? FLOnmDA GRAPE IFamUT.-This fruit is o refreshing and wholosome, oe peeially for s a bilious temperament. Its flavor is m sub-scud, but its juicy pulp is inclosed in a tough white membrane of intensely bitter ta-te; when this membrane i3 re moved the fruit is delhcious. It has become the fashion to use it as a salaud. The fruit is placed on the table wvhole (onto as enough for a party of four or esix), cut in quarters and serve aus natu "rat. When not used as a salad, cut the skin in sectious and peel it off; separ ate the sections as you would toeof an orange, and, holding each one by the ends, break it open from the centre, e disclosing the p)ulp); tear this out of the -white membrane which covers the sec tions, carefully removing every p)art of -it; keep the pulp as unbroken as possi dl blo and put it into a .deop dish with a Li plentiful sprinklhng of fine white sugar. Let it sta.nd three or four hours, or ov'er night, and then use the fruit, n WALL papers for the coming season ai show much lighter shades. Yellow e olives, I' rench maroons, tea greens, (1 shrimp pink and, of course, terra cotta, are mere likely to be asked for thaln anything else. The taste is returning ,- to small figures, although the Renais ,o sance designs .are extremely p)oputlar. r- Many persons insist upon the wall paper harmonizing so far as is practicable 0 with the upholstery; so this governs - mainufactur.ers~ to some extent in their d calo-ing and designs. To wash a fine cambric handkerchief 15embroidery in colored silks, so that the ecolors (do not ruin, the secret is to wasnm .In a soap lather very.qikywrn t thoroughly and thon iron, so that it ndries at once. There should be unosoak inlg, and the embroidered corner should e be kept out of the water as much as n possible. A little alum in the water Swill make the process more sure. e To protect the ironing board from dust, take two paper flour secks, cut the bottom oft from one, and paste this one IR to the - top of the other to make the trequired length; wvhen dono slip this 0 over the board. The outer covering of the board need not be taken olf altter Y using, if this care is taken and much a time saved. -ONE tablespoonful of bromo-colora mum -to eight of soft water makes an ti excellent deodorizer, and will purify the sick room of any offensive smells.
