Rot Water as a Medicine.
The uses of hot wstcr are many.
There is nothing that so promptly cuts
abort congestion of the lungs, kind sore
throat or inflammations of any
as hot water when applied promptly
nnd thoroughly. A strip of flannel
doubled, dipped in hot water, and
wrUDg out and appliod around the
neck of a child that has the croup will
sometimes bring relief in ten minntor.
Headache almost yields to the simul¬
taneous application of hot water to tho
feet and back of the neck. Hot water
will relieve ncnralgia and a cnpfnl
taken befnre retiring is very beneficial.
A glass of hot water taken heforo
breakfast has cured many a case of in¬
digestion, and no simple remedy is
more widely recommended by pbyai-
olans to dyspeptics.
Glided MIllc.
Gilded silk, it is said, may possibly
come into use as a surgical dressing, or
iu medical applications of electricity.
It may bo prepared in several ways.
That of Gonin consists in impregnating
the silk fiber \>lih chloride of gold, and
reducing tho metal by hydrogen,
finally polishing by means of a smooth
surface. This method is too expensive
for ordinary use, but silk may also be
gilt by electroplating it, after it has
been made to conduct electricity by
Honking it in somo metallic salt, such
ns nitrate of silver, acetate of load or
Copper, etc. The gilt silk thus pre¬
pared retains its flexibility and soft¬
ness. Tho method is applicable to
laces, mtmlins, tulles, etc.

WOMAN AND TIIK OLD LAWS.
In England loss than ninety years
ago it was not unusual for a man to
sell his wife into servitude.
Upon-murriago the husband became
entitled to all bis wife's goods and
chattels, also to the rents and profits
of her lands.
He was her lord, bound to supply
shelter, food, clothes and medicine.
He was entitled to her earnings and
the custody of her person.
Ho had tho power to choose her as¬
sociates, separate her from her rela¬
tives, restrain her religious aud per¬
sonal freedom and, if necessary, chas¬
tise her moderately, as though sho
was his ehild.
Tho father of legitimate children
was bound for their maintonauoo nnd
education, and was entitled to their
labor and custody.
lie had power to disposo of them
until they wero twonty-ono years of
ago by doed or legacy nnd the testa¬
mentary guardian’s right to the chil¬
dren’s custody superseded that of their
mother. Tho mother was entitled to
no power but reveronco aud respect
from her children.
Blie had no legal authority over
them nor right to their servico. Ouly
tbo mother of an illegitimate child wss
eutitlod to its control and custody.
Intestate personal proporty was divi¬
ded equally between males and females,
but a son, though yonngor than all his
sisters, was heir to tho whole of real
proporty.

Among tho seven trades which a
student iu mechanical engineering
must learn at Cornell, is that of the
blacksmith, says an exchange. Ooca-
sioDally there ia a protent, but it is
never heeded. One dude ton years
ago was unusually averse to soiling his
hands. But he had to work at tho
forge just the same. Lost fall he went
to Professor Morris and thanked him
for being compelled naked to learn black-
smithing. "Why?” the profes-
Her. "Why, you see,” replied tho
former dude, “1 am now superintend-
ont of a mine nway back in Colorado.
Last summer our main shaft broke,
and there was no one iu the mine but
myself who could wedd it. I didn’t
liko tho job, but l took off my coat
anil welded that shaft. It wasn’t
pretty job, but sho’s running now. If
I couldn't have done it, I’d have had
to pack that shaft on mule back and
send it throe hundred miles over the

would have shut-down till it got baok.

Proposed Change in the Old Sani Road
Causes a Kick.
Secretary Candler has granted an
amendment to the charter of the
Georgia and Alabama railroad, over
which a considerable stir will
created in and about tho town of
Lumpkin. This is the ruilwuy for-
merly known as tho Sam road.
For a considerable part of the way
the road runs nearly straight, but at
one point it makes a big curve, liko a
horseshoe. The town of Lumpkin is
located at the round end of tho horse
shoe. The authorities aro desirous of
shortening the main line, to run it
across the open end of the horse shoe.
They do not propose to abandon the
remainder of the road from Lumpkin,
but will not continue it as the main
Uue.
'I'be amendment to the charter
granted allows tho company to
build from Louvale to Richland. Tho
people of Lumpkin do not proposo to
be left on a side lino, so they are pre¬
paring to file a petition asking that
the road be enjoined from abandoning
the old route as the main line.
TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstrects’ Review ot Business for
tho Past Week.
Bradstreet’s review of trade condi-
tions the past week says: The features
of tho week are a continued retarded
demand for merchandise and checked
industrial operations. Least satisfac¬
tory is the waiting attitude of some of
the more important industries.
Shoe factories at Philadelphia are
shutting down or running on part
time; cotton goods makers regard the
outlook for their product unpromis¬
ing ; there is a reaction in the price of
steel billets; among fifty pig iron fur¬
naces in the Pittsbnrg and Shenango
districts fourteen are idle and the con¬
dition of the woolen goods manufac¬
turers is shown by the fact that for¬
eign woolen goods are relatively most
active.
An indication of the continued
shrinkage in tho volume of business in
December and its extension into Janu¬
ary is Rhown by the prolonged decline
in totals of weekly bank clearings that
for this week, $891,000,000, being the
smallest since the last week in Novem¬
ber and 5.5 per cent, smaller than one
year ago. General trade at the close
of January proves disappointing, par¬
ticularly in central, western and
northwestern states, where the move¬
ment of merchandise from jobbers has
been slow and unsatisfactory, it being
fair at only a few points.

Waste on the Farm.
Around the farm there is at least a fort or two of materials, such as Ashes,
Hen Droppings, Wood’s Karth, Marl and other things, which, if mixed with
Powell’s Prepared Chemicals,
make fertilizers rich in Ammonia, Fotash and Thosphoric Acid, which will be
quick acting, producing large crops and at the same time permanently improve
the soil. A fertilizer made in this way is certain, but costs very little — only
about $12 per ton.
Many thousand farmers have saved fully half their fertilirer hills hy the use of Powell's Prepared
Chemicals. Circular giving instructions for mixing, with testimonials from every section sent free

“Ever since I was in the army, where
I contracted indigestion aud dyspep¬
sia from eating “hard tack and sow
belly," I have suffered much from
those and kindred aliments. A son'
of mine who olerks for J. N. Harter
in a drug store at Winfield, Kansas,
told me while home on a visit, over
year ago, to get a box of Bipanc
Tahules and tako thorn. I did, and
in a very short time I was benefited,
and by th6 time they were half gone
I was well, and since then I have felt
better, ate more and relished It bot-
terthanat any time since the war.
and am doing more work now than
I ever expected to do again. I tell
you. they are the greatest medicine
for a fellow’s stomach I ever saw.
This box is for a neighbor of mine
out by me In the country. Wo al¬
ways have them at home, nnd I
never hesitate to recommend them
when a fellow complains about his
