ALL OVER THE HOUSE. torn* Useful Hints For the Home Treatment of Illness. Palpitatiop of the heart may be arrested, writes a well known physician, by bending down so as to allow the blood to run to the heart. f Take the whites of two eggs and j beat them, add two spoonfuls of white sugar, grate in a little nutmeg, then add a pint of lukewarm water. Stir well and drink often. Bepeat the preparation if necessary, and it will cure the most obstinate case of hoarseness in a very short ^ time. To make a linseed poultice take of fine ground linseed meal four parts and of boiling water ten parts. Mix the linseed meal with the water gradually, stirring constantly. The poultice should be an inch thick and very4 hot. A piece of thin flannel placed between it and the skin will enable the poultice to be borne much hotter than it otherwise would. In illness hot water is of inestimable value. For example, there is nothing that so quickly cuts short congestion of the lungs, a sore throat or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Headache always yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. Health Hints. Butter is good for both a bruise and a burn. In summer always dry the hair in the sunlight and open air. In massaging ordinary salad or olive oil may be used in place of cold cream. All medicines containing acics ahould be taken through a glass tube and the teeth immediately brushed. For ringworm or light cases of eczema apply with a feather glycerin 100 grams and resorcin 10 grains. A good astringent to close enlarged pores is boric acid, made by dissolving a teaspoonful of the ptowder in a pint of hot water. Comont For China. A capital cement for broken china and bric-a-brac that can be made at home is obtained by mixing half an ounce of gum arabic with half a teaspoonf ul of boiling milk and adding enough plaster of paris to produce a creamy paste. To use successfuJy have the pieces that are to be mei.ded warm and apply the cement wa rm with a small brush. Objects repaired with this cement have to be set aside for a week before they can be used, but after that they can be washed in either warm or cold water with safety. Soaking they will not stand. Romody For Grip. A rpmpdv for irrin that is orov.ne "V O'T * W very efficacious in numerous instances is this: Put into a cup of hot water cayenne pepper the size of a marrowfat pea, a teaspoonful of sugar and a scant tablespoonful of grain alcohol. Beware of the wood alcohol, which is rank poison. Itir together and take steaming hot ust before going to bed. If grip is nly threatened and not actually present, a teaspoonful of alcohol will suffice. i ' Ciwint to Faoton Loathor to Wwd. Take whitefish glue, six ounces; dry white lead, one and one-half ounces; soft water twelve ounces; alcohol, four ounces. Dissolve ths glue in a double boiler containing the water. When the glue is all dissolved put in the lead. Stir and boil until it is all thoroughly mixed. Bemove from the fire, and when cool enough to bottle add the alcohol and bottle while it is yet warm. Keep tightly corked. Fronoh Mustard. Mix three tables poonfuls of mustard and three tablespoonfuLs of sugar thoroughly together. Beat ne egg light and add, mixing until smooth. Add one cup of vinegar (not itrong); pour in slowly, so as to keep smooth. Add one tablespoonful of butter when ready to take from the fire. Stir while cooking. It will require only a few minutes. Silver Cleaner. Dissolve one ounce of powdered borax in half a pint of boiling waiter. When cold, pour it od four ounces of precipitated chalk and beat until smooth. Add thirty drop? of ammonia and one gill of alcohol and bottle. Shake well before using. For a Sore Mouth. The sore mouth may be healed with frequent washings with borax water. Salt is also good for a sore mouth and for canker sores. wain I rig wiun gwvi*.

While death is produced almost , instantly by the passage through the human body of alternating currents of high voltage, such as are encoun tered in ordinary practice, yet in the ( currents of enormous voltages produced by Mr. Tesla it is possible for them to pass through the body with- out the slightest injury. It has, of 1 course, been known that the Tesla ( currents are of extremely liigh frequency as compared with the or- , dinaiy current as well as of high voltage, but it was thought that they ; passed over the surface of the body ^ rather that through it and thus did . no damage. Lately Professor Xernst has shown the Bunsen society of Berlin that this effect is due to the high-frequency of the current, which actually does pass through the body, but so rapid are its alternations that it does not have time to effe<?t any change in the tissue before there is a reversal of the electrical stress. This he has shown conclusively in a series of experiments, where he passed a high frequency current through his hand and then through the legs of frogs.?Harper's Weekly. Ground For Complaint.

U.m Mautn (h* fipilitp th* Fu> itv mw. w ?/? ? ?W ? * ? J 1 In Gam* of Buzz. Buzz is a very old game, but ia al- 1 ways a very great favorite. Thf s more the players the greater the ] fun. The way to play it is as fol- , lows: The players sit in a circle and begin to count in turn, but when the number 7 or any number in which the figure 7 or any multiple of 7 ia j, reached they say, "Buzz," instead of whatever the number may be. M f foi instance, sup}>osing the playera have counted up to 12, the next , player will say "13," t^e next Buzz," because 14 is a multiple ol 7 (twice 7)?the next player would then say "15," the next "16," and 0 the next would, of course, say "Buzz," because the figure 7 occurs in the number 17. If one of the players forgets to say "Buzz" at tha c proper time, he is out. The game t then starts over again with the re- a muining players, and so it continuee t until there is out one person re- ^ maining. If great care is taken, tha 8 numbers can be counted up to 70, v which, according to the rules before mentioned, would, of course, be (j called Buzz. The numbers would p then be carried on as Buzz 1, Buzz a 2, etc., up to 70, but. it is very gel-? j dora that this stage is reached. Agility of Insects. There was a certain little fly that b was observed to run three inches and r make in doing it 440 steps, all in b one-half a second of time. To equal n this in proportion to his size a man p would have to run at the rate of o twenty miles a minute. . b The common Ilea leaps 200 times 1 its own length. To show like agility f; a man six feet tall would have to f leap a distance of 1,200 feet. The e cheese mite is about one-quarter of an inch in length, yet it has been seen to take the tip of its tail in its ; mouth and then", letting go with a ^ jerk, to leap oilt of a vessel six a inches in depth. To equal this a man tfould have do jump out of a jj^^^om a depth of 144 feet _ ? i i "I 53j t- . SCSSSgSCS'gSg "Why, Margie," said a mother to her little daughter, "what are you crying about ?" "'C-cause," sobbed the tearful little miss, "I s-started to m-make my dolly a s-sealskin sack and it c-came out a c-calico wrapper." "What in the world are you doing with your shoes and stockings off this cold morning?" asked the mother of a bright youngster aged six. "Studyin' my lesson," answered the little fellow.
