In the consideration ot the Plenro-
pneamonla Bill in the House, an
amendmenttproviding that the ex
perts and agents to be appointed
in pursuance of the act shall be ap
pointed under the civil-service rules,
was lost by a vote of thirteen to
eighty-six.
The Spanish Minister at Wash
ington is trying a bluff. He says
that unless negotiations for carrying
out a reciprocity treaty between
Spain and the United States reach
a favorable result by the first of
March, he favors coercion and re
prisals against this country.
Mr. Beck’s bill making it unlaw
ful for members of Congress to act
as attorneys of subsidized railroads,
was slaughtered in the Senate, that
righteous body of railroad attor-
neys passing the Hoar amendment,
which is virtually a substitute, and
which completely emasculates the
original bill and means nothing.
The Senate has passed a bill ap
propriating *10,000 to be immedi
ately available, for the purchase and
distribution by the Agricultural De
partment of seeds for the drouth-
stricken section of Texas. The
number of persons in need ol assis
tance wa3 stated by Senator Coke
to ne from 35,000 to 40,000.
The Republicans, Dy refusing to
vote, prevented the consideration
by the House of a bill reducing the
number of bureaus in the Naval De
partment (rom eight to five. The
passage of the bill is opposed be
cause it would send to sea a num
ber of society men in Washington,
which fact is permitted to outweigh
considerations of economy and the
improvement of the service.
The American Cotton Seed Oil
Trust, which is only second to the
giant Standard Oil monopoly, of
which it is a direct descendant, will
close its books, May 31, in posses
sion of four-fifths of the oil-mills of
this country, nine-tenths of the re
fining capacity, commanding posi
tion in the lard and soap industries,
no debts and something like $4,009,-
000, of net earnings in its treasu
ry.
The House laid on the table by a
vote of 11!) to 46, the bill to prohibit
the appointment of Congressional
committees to attend funerals at
the public expense outside of the
District of Columbia. It is a cold,
ground-hog day when the average
Congressman relinquishes his priv
ilege of going on an official spree
at the expense of other people.
Secretary Manning called at the
White House February 14 and
placed his resignation in the hand
of the President, to take effect on
the appointment and qualification
of his successor. Thisictiou is taken
in order to allow Mr. Manning to
accept the presidency of the West
ern National Bank of New York.
His letter of resignation will not b9
made public for some days. It is
stated at the White House that no
immediate appointment will be
made to the office, and Mr. Man
ning will con inue to act as Secre
tary for several weeks. It is known
that the President parts with Mr.
Manning with regret, and that he
reluctantly consents to his with
drawal from the cabinet.
The following circular was issued
February 14 from the National
headquarters of the Grand Army
of the Republic, signed by Com-
nmnder-fn-Chief Fairchild:
“In view of the recent veto of the
dependent pension bill, and of the
very great importance of that
measure to many of our disabled
comrades who need and are justly
entitled to help, it is recommended
that posts and comrades every
where by resolutions and letters
immediately inform members of
Congress, who are entitled to and
will gladly recieve these expressions
of opinion of their approval or dis
approval of the principles Involved
in *he vetoed bill. Comrades are
requested to move at once, with out
waiting for printed circulars."
If, after having a tooth pulled, the
mouth Is filled wi'li salt and water,
it will allay the danger of having a
hemorrhage.
Salt as a tooth powder is belter
than almost nnything that can be
bought, it keeps the teeth brilliant
ly white and the gums hard and
rosy.
Nothing Is better for a sore throat
than a' gargle of sift and wafer. It
may be used as often as desired, and
if a little is swallowed each time it
is used it will cleanse the throat
and allay the irritatiou.
Salt, in doses of one to four tea
spoonfuls in half a pint to a pint of
tepid water, is an emetic always at
hand. This is also the antidote to
be used after poisoning from nitrate
of silver while waiting for the doc
tor to come
If the feet are tender or painful
after long walking or standing great
relief can be had by bathing them
in salt an<i water. A handful of
salt to ji gallon of water is the right
proportion. Have the water as hot
as can comfortably be borne. Im
merse the legs as far as the knees
with the hands. When the water
becomes too cool rub briskly with a
flesh towel. This method, if used
night and morning, will cure neu
ralgia of the feet.
It is not generally known that the
average value of an acre of celery
in the region of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
is $600, and that the annual crop
reaches 5,000 tons. An acre con
tains from 25,000 .to 30^)00 plants.
The tend was originally a sandy
marsh.
In every household there are oc
casional,'in some frequent, calls for
bandages, court-plaster, vaseline,
Ac., and it is the exception where
it is easy to lay the hand instantly
upon the thing wanted. Of course
it is in the house; but where? And
much valuable time is often spent
in the search.
The way out of the difficulty is
simple, and has proved a daily bless'
ing where it has been tried.
The “emergency drawer”—the
name is a fitting one—is as well
known as the china closet, and the
y-inngsters often run to it and ap
ply the simple remedies themselves,
often tying up a cut almost as well
as their elders.
The drawer should be centrally
located, to be easy of access, and
should always contain the following
articles: Vaseline, court-plaster,
adhesive plaster, rolled bandages of
Afferent widths,soft cloths foj mus
tard plasters, old linen and tome
cotton wool.
The adhesive piaster can be
bought in spools of ten yards each
of different widths, and will keep
indefinitely.
The bandages are made of soft
old linen, or cotton, or if these run
short, cheese-cloth will do nicely, it
being used by many surgeons as a
standby. To make them, cut or
tear the material into tong strips—
five yards is the professional dimen
sion—and from one-half to three-
quarters of an inch up to three
inches wide, which will do for any
thing. Double over about three
inches at the end, folding again and
again, until it can be doubled no
longer, and on the core thus ob
tained roll the rest of the strip hard
and smooth, by placing it on the
knee and roiling with the righthand
while Ihe left holds the goods. Any
one who has used these for dressing
even the simplest wounds will ap
preciate their convenience. The
children enjoy rolling them on rainy
days or dull evenings.
It Is painful to take a trip through
the country on a wintry -flay and
see both cattle and young horses
standing shivering with cold,
nnder the lee side of a building,
straw-stack, or clump of bushes.
Such stock is being wintered at a
loss to Uie owner, to say nothing of
cruelty to the animals. At the end
of winter they will weigh less than
at the beginning; the hair will be
rough and the whole system en
feebled, and the owner of such ex
posed stock is fully aware of all
this. He intends to provide addi
tional-shelter, buf neglects to do so.
And thus the matter runs, year after
year, and he makes no money from
his stock.
Celd Food for the Sick.
It may rot be generally known
that cold food is more easily kept
on a sensitive stomach than hot; so
iii eases where it is rejected in the
ordinary warm or hot form, it had
better be tried as nearly frozen as
can be taken. In many fevers this
would bo a decided advantage. The
prejudice against cold food is per
haps natural, but we carry it too
lar. Milk may be administered in
a frozen state, often with positive
advantage.
Cure for RillionHtieM.
For billiousness the Boston Medi
cal and Surgical Journal says a
plain diet of bread, milk, oatmeal,
vegetables and fruit, with lean meat
and fresh fish, is best. Exercise in
the open air. The victim of an acute
attack will be righted by (I) absti
nence; (2) porridge and milk; (3)
toast, a little meat and fish and ripe
fruit, thus coming to solid food grad
ually.
Chapped Hands.
A good mixture for chapped
hands is composed of carbolic a id,
fifteen grains; the yelk ot one egg;
glycerine, three drahms. A little
of tills is to be rubbed into the hands
soveral times a day if the skin is not
broken.
Mild weather in winter is a good
time to give orchards a pruning, al
ways using gum-shellac dissolved
in alcohol to cover the large wouuds.
If performed now the work will be
out of the way when spring duties
are crowding. The removal of a
large limb is apt to be followed by a
strong growth of new wood, and if
the superfluous shoots are rubbed
away as soon as they show no loss if
strength will occur. Heading ba k
is useful in many instances, espe
cially where limbs are few and far
apart. What is needed is a regular
head with the brancties equi-dis-
tr nt. Clumps of suckers show bad
management, whether they occur
in top or base of the trunk. These
must of course be removed, but to
avoid a repetition of the growth re
quires a new system. All cuts must
be smooth and clean, and the bar
barity of splitting down a portion
of the remaing wood and bark must
be guarded agaiust. A slight curf
on the under side will always pre
vent it.
Alfalfa is full of promise to the
Western flockmaster. It was the
growing of alfalfa in'California that,
checked the flow of sheep from that
state to Colorado. A hundred days’
feeding on alfalfa, with half a pound
of oats per head, daily, makes very
fat sheep and except : onally sweet,
tender mutton. It will completely
remove from the flesh the flavor of
the black sage and other offensive
shrubs and plants of the West. 1'
is sometimes slightly productive
of scours and hoven, if allowed to
grow too rank before the sheep are
turned on'it; but luinjig of rocksali
kept continually within the reach
of the flock, have been found in Cal
ifornia to be a preventive to it.
The natural am. apparently eas
iest way to 1 iaJ a cow is to tie a
rope around her horns. But if she
is not thoroughly broken this gives
her too much advaniage; she cau,
if she will, pull by the horns so as
A few years ago it was quite com
monly supposed that posts set with
the top end in the ground would
greatly outlast those set with butts
down. Prof. Beal,ot Michigan Ag
ricultural College, has demonstrated
that there is uothingin this theory.
In 1877 he set posts of thirteen kinds
of timber, some one way and some
anol her, in both sandy and clayey
soils. Upon recent examination no
perceptible difference was found be
tween those set in reverse order and
the others.
A great many fields, especially
those long and narrow, are always
plowed the same way. Simply
changing the direction ot working
will often make a great increase in
productiveness. The furrow cut
across the old lines of furrows is not
stopped by the same stones, while
new soil is open to the growth of
pianf roots.
Last year the United States im
ported 509,417 bushels of potatoes
from Canada, 99,254 bushels from
Scotland, aud 33,834 bushels from

There were‘500 more marriages
in New York City in 1S86 than 1885.
Not less than 1,596 widows were
married again, the number being
345 in excess of the widows.
About 3,000 of brides were under
twenty years of age. Only one man
was married the fourth time, and
only one man the fifth time.
