"A hot bath, a stroll in the fresh air, shampooing the head in weak soda-water, or a timely nap in a cool, quiet room will sometimes stop a nervous headache,7' writes Dr. B. F Herrick in August Ladie's Home Journal. "When overfatigued from shopping or sightseeing a sponge dipped in very hot water and pressed repeatedly over the back of the neck between the ears will be found ex? ceedingly refreshing, especially if the face and temples are afterward subjected to the same treatment Neuralgia is caused not only by cold air but by acidity of the stomach, starved uerves, imperfect teeth, or by indolence combined with a too generous diet. Heat is the best and quickest cure for this distressing pain A hot flat iron, passed rapidly and deftly over several folds of flan? nel laid on the affected spot, will often give relief in less than ten minutes, without the aid of medicine. Hot fomentations are ot equal value ; though when the skin is very tender it is more advisable to use dry heat, nothing being better for the purpose than bags of heated salt, flour or sand, which retain warmth for a long time. Cold water, applied by the finger tips to the nerves in front of the ear, has been known to dispel neuralgic pains like magic. When .caused by acidity ii dose of charcoal or soda will usually act as a correct? ive. Sick headache is accompanied by bilious symptoms, and attacks usually come ou when the person is overtired or below par physically. This is a disease of the first half of life, and often stops of its own accord j after middle age. A careful diet isl imperative in every case, sweetmeats j and pastry being especially per? nicious. . I "Eating heartily when very tired, late dinners, eating irregularly, insuf? ficient mastication or too much animal food, especially in the spring or dur? ing the hot weather, are frequent causes of indigestion, causing head? aches by reflex action." - mm ?QI -?? Culture of Crysanthemums An experienced flower grower gives j the following advice through the Char? leston News and Courier : This is the time for people who want to have Soe chrysanthemums io the autumn to begin to look after their plants. Of course they ought to have started some time ago, but then it is most probable that most people who have the modest little garden plot have Got done so. But even if the ch.ysac- j ihsmums are still growing io little i clumps there is plenty of time to obtain good results. The first thing to do, of j coarse, is to separate the plants and the | second ia ta plant thea io rich soil Ali ? the branches should be nipped off aud no new branches allowed to come. . Some people prefer to have a great quantity of small flowers to one or two great big ones. Those, however, who wish to obtain the finest results in the I way of individual Sowers wiil find it the j best plan to keep the plant to one two j or stems. Chrysanthemums, unlike most plants, i do not mind being moved at all. lo i deed they seem to like it. The reason ? of this is that they are ve?*y rapicious feeders end soon exhaust the soil, a;:d when moved have, as it were, a fresh meal set before them. A chrysanthe? mum cannot be too highly manured, but, of course, where a great deal of" j maoue is used the plant must have a great deal of water also. Otherwise it will burs up. One of the most conve? nient and efficacious ways of manuring chrysanthemums is by using manure water. This is easily prepared. Noth- ; ing is needed but ao GI! barrel, a half barrel of stable manure and water. Put ' the barre! far away from your house and your neighbor's Put the manure in the barrel and pour the water or. it. ; After standing a few days it will be ? ready for use. Make a little cop-like ? indentation ia the earth around thc I plant and and p?U? fu'l of QJHPUC wa- j ter. Once a fortnight ii enough, until . the plants start to bud, and then in- ! crease ?he dose, giving the plants as much a? tl:ey will stand, but lessen the quantity if they look at ali badly. A smail quantity every day when the the Sowers are just about to op:u is not too much as it will be found to increase the size of the blooms wonderfully. There is ene thing which is very im? portant in tho culture of chrysanthe? mum?, and that rs, to keep them well tied up to stakes. About Cotton Ties. We notice that several Southern cot? ton exchanges have passed resolutions denouncing the cotton tie trust for its action in increasing the price of ties something like 100 per cent. This position on the part of the exchanges indicates that they will not throw any obstacles in the way of farmers, and the fight will be of short duration. Heavy wire is much cheaper than cot? ton ties ; it wili answer the purpose just as satisfactorily, and under the circumstances, we see no reason why tho matter should not be settled in short order. As we see it, the farmers will not only administer well-deserved chastise? ment, but also be the gainers both tem? porarily and permanently if they will just abandon the use of flat tics altc gother.-York ville Enquirer. "Blight costs cotton planters more than five million dollars an? nually. This is an enormous waste, and can be prevented. Practical experiments at Ala? bama Experiment Station show conclusively that the use of " Kaimt " will prevent that dreaded plant disease. Our pamphlets sre not advertising: circulars boom? ing special fertilizers, but are practical works, contain? ing the results of latest experiments in this linc. Every cotton farmer should have a copy. They are icnt free for the asking. GERMAN KALI WORKS. 93 Nassau St., New York.
