BURNS AND SCALDS.
A Simple Remedy that Elea Witlfln the
Reach of Every One.
There are very few homes whose in- |
mates have not at some time or other !
suffered more or less severely from the
effects of a burn; there are few persons
who ever forget the severity of the pain
that succeeds a bad burn, and yet there
are very few who make any provision j
for the proper treatment of such
wounds. This neglect arises from in
difference or from ignorance, but chietly
the latter. A burn treated in time does
not take nearly so long to heal, and gen
erally heals better than it otherwise
would. The object of the present pa
per is to make familiar a few of the
remedies which are generally applied to
burns—remedies so simple in themselves
that they can be applied by any person.
The best thing to apply to a burned
or scalded part is Carron oil spread on
lint or linen. The main object in the
treatment of a burn is to keep the af
fected part out of contact with the air;
but the part of the treatment to which
our attention should be first directed is
that which will lessen or remove the
pain. Ice' or cold water is sometimes
used, and sometimes water moderately
warm, or a gentle heat, gives relief.
Carron oil—so calk'd from the famous
Carron Iron Works, where it is exten
sively used not only lessens the pain,
but covers the part with a film which
effectually shuts out the air ami prevents
the skin getting dry.
This Carron oil can be prepared in a
very simple way. It consists of equal
parts of olive oil ami lime water. Olive
oil, or salad or Lucca oil, is the best
suited for the purpose; but, if not easily
obta’ned, linseed oil answers the pur
pose very well. Lime water can be
easily made by any one. if it can not be
procured otherwise. About a tea-poon-
the lime used by builders, if the
purer kind is not obtainable, added to a
pint of water and well shaken, is all
that is required. It is then allowed to
settle, and the water when required i
drawn oft’ without disturbing the sedi
ment at the bottom. Pour the oil on
lime water, stir or shake well, and the
mixture is ready for use. It is poured
freely between two folds of lint or the
lint dipped in the mixture, the lint ap
plied to the wound and held in position
by the bandage. The wound may he
dressed twice a day, but in dressing the
wound should be exposed to the air the
shortest possible time. If the lint ad
heres to the wound, it must not be
nulled off. but first moistened thorough
ly with the oil, when it comes off easily.
In some cases it is not advisable to re
move the lint. Under such circum
stances, the best way to proceed is to
lift up one fold of the lint, drop the oil
within the folds, replace the fold as be
fore, and secure the bandage. Carron
oil is one of those things that no house
hold should be at any time without.
Considering the simplicity of the cure,
how easily olive oil and lime-water can
be obtained, let us hope that for the
“ake of relieving even a few minutes'
pain no reader of this paper will be in
the future without a bottle of Capron
—Chambers' Journal.
•‘OUR BOY.”
A Wonderful Youth Who Can Be Trusted
Anywhere and Always.
That boy of ours is a wonderful chap.
He is smarter than most of his mates, |
has few faults and seldom needs reproof. ■
We can trust “our boy” anywhere and
always.
Every pastor has heard this said very
many times. He has found that ser
mons and general admonitions to pa
rental faithfulness in many cases do no
good, because “our boy” is so good.
Ibe parents give away the sermons
with a strange prodigality, often out of ■
all proportion to their generosity in the
support of missions; and the admoni
tions do not hit. They utterly fail to
“live up” to the doctrine of depravity
in its reftrence to “our boys.”
I have come into special acquaintance
with several of these exceptional boys,
and have found them no smarter, and
considerably meaner than other fellows.
But I have come to pity them profound
ly, because they so utterly fail of being
properly trained. How shall “our
be reached before the harvest of his wild
oats is ready for the reaping?
I remember him well, a strong,
manly-looking fellow, once in the Stib
bath-school. But I soon found that it
was a painful case of “our boy” trouble.
His tastes were wrong. He read vicious
books and began to take on bad habits.
I prepared two sermons on the training
of children and the value of influence,
and to wing the arrow I pointed out the
dangers of letting the truth all go by
because of this “our boy” delusion.
The mothers thought the sermons
forcible, excellent, and gave them all
away. “How could certain parents
hear such faithful preaching and let
their boys grow up amiss?” So “our
boy” slipped through. Taking a friend
into confidence, I asked: How canthat
boy be reached and saved from the ex
cesses to which he drifts? The reply
' was: “I don’t know. Mrs. went
to his mother and told her kindly, as a
friend, of the danger. But the mother
was greatly incensed, and replied that
she could take care of her boy, he could
. do no wrong, let others take care of
' their own.” While I was trying to
l crack the nut the boy was miserably
overtaken by his own sins.
In another home “our boy” was the
only son. His ancestors, back to Adam,
had been officers in the church, and he
was expected to be no less, perhaps a
minister. When I met him it was too
late to do much. He seemed morally
bankrupt. His mother said: “I can't
understand it. lie has had praying
parents, was baptized, and has been
brought up as carefully as we know
how. If you had known it all, and seen
how my husband labored that he might
grow up a good man, you would not
think that ‘our boy’ could turn out so.
Why is it? Oh, why is it?”
Ilis acquaintances said: “His parents
trusted him too much. They left him
exposed to temptation; not believ
ing that their boy .with su«h ances
try, could do wrong. He began to
play cards, to drink' ale, whisky. His
parents would not believe it.” Said
one: “He came to me one night to as
sist his father, and was so tipsy that he
could hardly show me into his house,
but his parents did not see it.” Said
another: “At last we found him one
light in the gutter, and two of us walked
him home, opened the door into the
room where his mother was sitting and
pushed him headlong on the floor. That
was the first time that his mother
would believe that he drank.” How
could he drink—“our boy?” It was a
conspicuous case of how not to train up
a child in the way he should go.
Alas for “our boy,” especially if he is
the only child, with no sisters to report
him! Other people’s children sit on the
fences, eat stolen apples and swear like
pirates; “our boy” said so, and he
never tells an untruth. But he is a won
derful chap! He never does wrong,
And he lias yet more wonderful parents.
Too bad he isn’t an orphan; then the
world would show him his faults; he
might make something. But “our boy”
is so sheltered now by his thoughtless
parents that his chance for a noble life
is rather limited. The “wicked” little
boy across the way, the poor man’s one
of many children will probably go by
him. They know he is bad, anti try tc
take care of him.— Congregationalist.
CLOAKS FOR CHILDREN.
■ ’low Mothers May Makes Their Little
(wlrln Stylish hii<l Comfortable.
The loose wraps in modified Mother
i Hubbard shapes are exceedingly com
! sortable, and look well on slender fig
ures. For girls of fourteen and sixteen
they art* most becoming. They are
| made of soft, tine broadcloth, and also
in the cheaper woolen cloths. Dark
! greens, blues, and browns are the colors
used, and wide satin ribbons hold them
I at the waist and throat, tying in loop
i bows with long ends. These wraps are
‘ made up tor carriage wear in soft bright
colored cloths and plushes. They are
much warmer than opera cloaks, and
set so loosely on the figure that they do
i not disarrange the toilet.
Ihe broad stripe flannel cloaks for
children are to be worn during the win
ter. 1 lie colorings are darker and more
harmonious than these seen during the
summer, and plush, velvet, or astrakhan
are used as cuffs, collar and belt. A
dainty little model for a child of four is
in inch wide stripes of dark green, blue
and deep wine color. It has three
broad box-plaits in the back, which are
stitched down, and two in front. A
wide belt of crimson plush, a turn down
collar and cuffs of the same, with large
crimson plush buttons complete it. An
other model for a boy of six or so is in
shades of brown, olive ami yellow, with
a leather belt and cuffs. One in blue
and gold for a girl of ten has a
pointed hood lined with blue velvet and
culls and collar of the same. Crimson
plush cloaks are also fashionable for
children, and for school girls the plain
heavy cloths, trimmed with bands of
astrakhan, are in vogue.— American \

THE DAIRY.
—A moist, cool nose in homed cat
tle denotes health; a dry, hot muzzle,
fever.
—Dairymen can now begin feeding
corn. It makes milk when mixed with
other food.
—Watch the cows and keep up the
flow of milk. After a little while but
ter will begin to advance. No one is so
poor as he who has nothing to sell.
Keep the cows at their best all of the
time.
—The English farmers, remarks the
Breeder's Gazette, are now giving un
usual attention to questions relating to
the dairy, and every effort is being made
to improve the quality and increase the
quantity of dairy products. Thy Amer
ican creamery and factory systems are
being tried in various localities, and ap
pear to have worked well in the main
and to have given a wholesome stimu
lus to the dairy interest.
—The best milkers are not beef-fat, nor
should they be burdened with super
fluous flesh. And yet it is a mistake to
suppose that their condition is a matter
of no consequence. To see a herd of
cows little more than animated shadows
is an indication of a poor dairyman.
Dairy cows should be well fed with milk
producing foods, with sufficient flesh
forming properties to maintain a high
state of physical vigor. It is hardly the
thing to have to lean a cow up against
the fence to milk her.—Toronto Globe.
MEALS IN THE MILK RATION.
Kstlmates on the Amount of Milk Produced
by Certain Courses of Feeding.
To test the principle that has been
very emphatically laid down by Ger
man investigators, and somewhat wide
ly accepted in this country, that a lib
eral supply of digestible protein is the
main thing to be looked after in the
ration for milch cows, tests have re
cently been made at the Wisconsin Ex
periment Station. The first ration con
sisted of clover-hay and cornmeal, and
had one part of digestible protein to
about eight of digestible matters of
other kinds. In the second ration cot
tonseed oil meal was substituted for a
for a part of the cornmeal in such
quantities that the ration should con
tain the same total of digestible mat
ters, but at the same time a larger pro
portion of protein—one part of this to
about five of other digestible matters.
In the third ration malt sprouts were
put in the place of the cottonseed meal
in such quantity as to leave the propor
tion of protein and of total digestible
matters unchanged.
If the principle stated in the begin
ning be correct, the second and third
ration should yield more or better milk,
or both, than the first. In estimating
the effect of the ration, due allowance
was made for the natural falling off in
the yield of milk as the period of lacta
tion advanced, and for the gradually in
creasing temperature with the advance
of the season—two opposing tendencies
which partially but not entirely neutral
ized each other. The results were not
favorable to the principle tested. On
the second ration there was a very slight
gain, which could be credited to the
ration, ami on the third ration a very
slight loss in yield. There was not, as
we should have expected, a notable gain
on the second ration, continued on the
third.
It will be remembered that the inten
tion was, in making up the rations, to
have the same total of digestible matter
of all kinds in every one; but when the
separate digestion feeding experiments
with the fodders used in these milk ex
periments were finished it was found
that the second ration contained a little
larger total of these matters than did
the first, while the third contained a lit
tle less. If now it be supposed that the
yield of milk depends (‘specially and
mostly on the quantity of digestible
matters of all kinds, it is explained why
about the same quantity of milk was ob
tained on these three rations, but a lit
tle more on the second than on the first,
and a little less on the third than on the
first.
Attention is very properly called in
the bulletin to the importance of further
tests of the correctness of this supposi
tion. Oil-meals of all kinds, stien as
linseed and cottonseed, have been highly
praised for use in the milk rations, be
cause of their richness in protein; but if
general richness in digestible matters is
just as useful for the purpose mentioned,
then the cheaper corn meal, which con
tains, pound for pound, about as much
digestible substance as cottonseed oil
meal, can be as well used in the milk
ration. In this connection it should be
further noticed that the tests of the milk
as to quality, and butter yield on churn
ing, failed to show any unmistakable
improvement on the more expensive oil
meal ration.—Dr. G. C. Caldwell, in
N. K Tribune.
Taming Minnows.
An eminent naturalist gives these re
sults of experiments in taming pet fish:
"Os minnows I had two vears ago no
fewer than thirteen, ranging about in a
large glass globe, and 1 taught them not
only to know me. but to recognize the
sound of my voice, while I whistled to
them some lively air. On such occasions
they would all rise to the top of the
I water, salute me by touching my lips as
I bent closely over the bowl, and actually
leap up ami play with the extremity of
my nose! They would, moreover, fondle
i over me. by rubbing their silvery sides
| against one of my fingers, which I pur
| posely dipped into their watery habita
tion in this particular imitating the
fondness of a eat. when she pleasingly
purrs, erects her tail, and draws close
to your person to evince her perfect
state of happiness. The usual fate,
however, peculiar to all pets awaited
| mine. One by one. as the heat of the
i weather increased in intensity, they gave
.up the ghost, and my glass globe was
i consigned to the silent shelf. A few
| months since my eye chanced to rest on
I the same globe, and there was awakened
in me the fondest remembrance of my
former tiny friends. You may guess the
consequence. I have procured more,
confining myself, however, to three
onlv: and I have actually accomplished
with these what I did with the others.”

Woman’s Suffering and Relief.
Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be on your seer
that constant drain that is taking from youi
system all Its former elasticity; driving the
bloom from your cheeks; that continual strain
upon your vital forces, rendering you Irma
ble and fretful, can easily be removed by the
Use of that marvelous remedy, Hop Bitters
Irregularities and obstructions of your sys
tem are relieved at once, while the special
causes of periodical pain are permanently re
moved. None receive so much benefit, and
none are so profoundly grateful, and show
such an interest In recommending Hop Bitters
as women.

$3,000 Lost.
“A tour to Europe that cost me $3,000, done

Sirs—l have been suffering ten years, and I
