One of Mr. Bowser’s hobbies is the family medicine~chest, and the quack who wants to get his money has only to go to him with a bpring tonic, a \Vinter porous plaster, a Fall liver-pad or an every-day cure for rheuma- tism. There is at this moment, in a closet set‘ apart 'in the Bowser mansion for that infernal old drug-shop over and find me something to cure these colicky pains E” “AllI want is the mustaro from the people are like t c inexperienced traveler, who anxiously inquired about the symptoms of seasickness, and how he should know when he had it. One generally knows when he is sick, and frequently many supposablyl alarming symptoms prove, upon invemiga- 3 tion, to be either perfectly naturle occur- ' rcnces or of very slight importance. l Eat and drink what you desire, as long as - it agrees with you. Your stomach knows pretty well what it can digest. Plain, i simple food is desirable, as a general thing, l but the luxuries of the table, in moderation, will do no harm. Alcoholic beverages are not fit for habitual use. They are true medicines, and should ! only be used like any other medicinesâ€"under ' the advice of a physician. As a regular beverage they can do no good, but will almost certainly do harm. Take all the sleep you can get, but re- member that the necessary amount varies greatly for different persons. Some must sleep at least nine hours, while others thrive ‘ under six. Only don’t rob yourself of what you really need. The “ midnight oil ” is a l terribly expensive illuminant to burn either ' for purposes of labor or study. Always treat acommon cold with great respect. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred it will get well any way, but the hundredth cold, if neglected, may lead to bronchitis, , pneumonia, or consumption, It is best to take no such chances. If you are sick enough to need any medi- cine at all, beyond the simple remedies familiar to all, you are sick enough to need the attendance of a physician. By all means takeasmuch exercise as you can, and be in the open air as much as pos- sible. Outdoor life is the natural condition of mankind, and the more one can have it, the better. The practice must not be carried to extremes, however. There are many days when one is much better off in nwarm, com- fortable, well-ventilated house than trying to take outdoor exercise in a midwiuter storm, or under a July sun, and no one ever strengthened his constitution by sleeping with his bed-room window open with the outside temperature at zero, or allowing the snow to drift in upon his pillow. . Fnsh air, sunlight. good and sufficient food, pure water, outdoor exercise, temper- ance in all things, and a cheerful disposition, are the chief remedies in nature’s dispensat- ory, and are worth more than all the drugs and medicines of the shops. Dr. Holmes has truly said that if ninetcnt‘hs of all’ the medicines,patent,proprietaryondotherwise, in the world were poured into the ocean, it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for thefishcs ; and the bestphysician can do little without good nursing, and thus aid nature in throwing of? disease. Dandruff. \Vush the scalp with warm water and soap, frequently; use a fine comb gently, being careful not to irritate the skin; and then wash with a solution of baking soda, a heaping teaspoonful to half pint of water; or a teaspoonnt of spirits of hartshorn to the same quantity of water may be used in the some way. The following is recommendâ€" ed as a good application : Take hydrate of chloral, half ounce ; water, a pint. \Vash the seal as needed, using the comb as above directc( in the intervals. Sore Eyes- In affections of an . organ so tender as the eye, all potent medicines and mliuztecr prescriplions, should be strictly avoided. If the eyes are inflamed keep the child out ofa glow of light, and keep the eyes covered with cloths wet in .water, warm or cold, according to the degree of. nflomma- tion, being governed by the degree of relief nll‘orded. us to whether the application should be warm or cold. If the lids are glued together, moisten them with warm milk wot-er, and anoint with vcscline. _ - The disease of the eyes in infants known as ” purulent opthalmus,” is a very danger- ous all‘ectirn, frequently involving loss of sight, unless promptly and judiciously treated: and when a child is thus affected at, or soon after birth, the services of a physician should be procured without delay. Of course there is a great multitude of remczlies for sore eyes: and the great trouble is that. there are too many remedies and too many to prescribe them. The only safe course to pursue is to follow the simple (lll't'l'l ions above given. Sore Throat. The best domestic treatment, for this is hot foot baths, and gxtrgles of chlorate of potash. or vinegar and salt, if the child is old \ nough to gurglc. The gargle may be :nmlv by putting a tcaspoonful of the pmnlcrcd chlorate too glass of cold water ; or a l.llvl05pn0l:f‘.ll of strong vinegar, and n teaspoouful of salt to the half-pint of water. The throat should always be cov- ered with a towel wrung out of cold water, and over this should be placed another dry towel, So as to exclude the air, and keep up u perspiration over the scat ofdisease. The exclusion of the air lean important point ; and an oil cloth over the wettowel is better than the dry-towel coverings. \thn the cov- erings arc removed, the parts previousl cov- ered should besponged with cold water. here need be no fear of using cold water in this way. A well known remedy is grand mother’s stocking, filled with warm ashes and sprinkled with vinegar; but I can see no advantage in this over the simple wet towel ooveml over, so that the heat of the body may keep up the proper degree of warmth. But,“ anyare too timid to use the water cold, and there is any diflicplfiy in keeping the‘iuner towel well covc , this can beapplied warm. The whole ob~ ject. of the treatment is tokcep upapers ir~ atlon over the seat of the disease, and t as relieve the congestion and inflammation in the tluoet. _-_ Nose Bleeding.

If there is a “ rising ” in the ear, cloths wrung out of hot water should be applied over the ear, and when it is “ ripe,” it should be opened, if in reach. .2” Eamchc and other disorder of the organ of hearing, are frequently caused by an ac- cumulation of hardened wax in the car. This is best removed by dropping in a few drops of glycerine, and gently syringing with warm water. For sores behind the cars. and other eruptions about the head, simply keep them clean by washing frequently with castile soap and warm water ;and when dry, anoint with vaseline, or powder with starch. No attempt should ever be made to “ dry them up,” or repel them by using all kinds of solves and ointments ; as such a course may give rise to serious disturbance of the brain, manifested in convulsions, or inflaimnation of that organ. .â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"oâ€"â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€" Progress In Science. Mr. Preston in a letter to Dr. Hertz, the famous discoverer of electrical waves, point- out that if the lines of force remain stations ary, while the magnet rotates, the magnet, being a conductor rotating in the field of its own lines, will become electrified and show positive electricity at one end and negative at the other. If on the other hand, the lines move with the magnet no such effect will take place. Dr. Hertz admits the force of this reasoning. \Veldless steel chains are being experi- mented with in England.

He put all the roots in the tea. kettle, started up a. good fire, and at intervals of every five minutes he walked out to cool his face and to say to Mrs. Bowser : “ Doctors ! Drug stores ! After a couple of hours Mr. Bowser pour- ed off two quarts of dark liquid which gave out an odor similar to that of a. ripe cucum- ber flung against the smoke-house door in ' August. Being alone in the kitchen at the time, he of course took down the roller-towel to strain it through. He then added to the liquid half a pint of whiskey, an ounce of cloves, one nutmeg and half a. pound of sugar, and put the 'whole in an old fruit-jar. “ Thereâ€"that’s off my mind l” he said, as he returned to the sitting-room. “The dose, Mrs. Bowser, will be one table-spoonful three times a day for you and half that for the baby. ”’ - - “ If we need it." “ If you need it! saw the signs of collapse in your eyes ten days ago, and I may not be in time to save our child.

The four simple principles of the Salva- tion Army, as stated by its founder, are ; (1) going to the people with the message of salvation;(‘?.) attracting the people; (3) saving the people; and (4) employing the oplc, as far as possible, in re- Igious work. No objection against the “Army” is more common on the li sof superfine people than that which comp sins of the shouting and howllu and blas- phemiug and vulgarism.

Hiram J. Maxim Thinks He Has Solved the Problem of Sailing Through the Air. Hiram J. Maxim, one of the Americans who makes guns in Europe because he can get a better market for them there, is just now working out a flying machine with which he proposes to revoluntionize methods of warfare. Mr. Maxim is in lVashington and talks upon his plans for a flying ma- chine. “ If I can rise from the coast of France," he said, “sail through the air across the Channel and drop half a ton of nitro~glycerine upon an English city I can revolutionize the world. I believe I can do it if I live long enough. If I die some one will come after me wno will be successful where I failed._” Mr. Maxim has built at his workshop near Kent, England, a small flying machine with a. wooden screw as its motive powcr. The screw revolves all the way from 1000 to 2890 revolutions perminute. “ \Vhat is your machine like?” he was asked. “ What is the size of your large machine?” “ It will be 110 feet wide and forty feet long. It will he propelled by two immense wooden screws, nearly eighteen feet in di- ameter, looking very much like the screws of ocean steamers, only with broader blades.

At thirty miles an hour it will barely skim along, the pressure of the air underneath it being then equal to one pound for each square cat, or sufficient to just lift it.
