f a UT THE HOUSE. N W““\‘\\\ \ \‘ ~ FOR THE BO‘Vâ€"LEGGED CHILD. If the child is still wearing nurSery napkins they should be at once removed and drawers substituted, for the heavy. bulky napkins that so many mothers use in the_hope of keeping the child's clothing dry are a fruitful cause of bow legs, crowding. as they do the tender little limbs apart. As a child grows and follows its natural inclination to put its feet together, the limbs grow rounded and bowed. Therefore, before anything can be done to effect a. cure the cause must be removed. Procure a pair of comfortable easy-fitting. moderately heavy shoes, and have a shoemaker put on one extra thickness of sole leather on the outer part of each shoe sole. that is. on the right side of the right shoe and the left side of the left shoe. This will raise the outer side of the foot a little, which will naâ€" turally tend toward strai htenin the knees. Then on the insiie of an leâ€" that is on the left side of the ankle of the right shoe and the right Side of the left shoe, extending from the sole to the top of the shotâ€"-- ave a piece of the heaviest sole leather about. one inch wide, stitched on. This will pre‘ vent the ankles from turning and cause the. child to step firmly, yet in such a. way as to straighten the knee. In ordinar cusses this ought to effect a cure in a ew months. but after three or four months' steady treatment, never allowing the child to bear its Weight upon its feet Without the sup- port affordcd by these shoes, if there is not a very decided improvement. :1. physician of experience in such matters should be consulted, as the child Will probably need a brace estending from ankle to hip. But ordinary cases of how legs will succumb to the forego- ing treatment. INSECTS 0N HOUSE PLANTS. The red spider and green fly are the principal cause of so many window and greenhouse plants looking sickly at this season of the year. The leaves turn yellowish and finally fall off. The dry air of the living room is just what I suits these pots. If the plants can be sprayed frequently with an atomizer, these insects will not multiply as rap- idly as when it is omitted, but where a furnace. heats the house the effects of the spraying will not last very long. Spraying the plants With a decoction of tobacco, or kerosene emulston, Will save them if applied in time. It IS also a. good plan to place tobacco stems on the soil all around the plants. These act not only as an insecticide but also as a fertilizer. “'hen the plants are grown in boxes it is a good plan to cover the entire soil With tobacco. stems. On outdoor rose beds, they are invaluâ€" able, serving not only as _a_mulch, but as a. fertilizer, and insecticide as well. CARE OF FLO\VERING BULBS. “'ith the. earliest opening of spring, a part; of the covering of the beds of hyacinths, tulips and other Dutchbulbs should be taken off and the remainder loosened. There is danger from ex- tremes in either case. If the mulch is taken off too soon. the early shoots and buds will suffer from frost, and if all is left. the early growth Will be smoth- ered or grow up sickly. If the mulch- ing material used is short, like. forest leaves or pine straw, a part of it. may be left on altogether. HA RDENING PLANTS. Plants which have been wintered in the house or in frames and are intend- ed for bedding out, should be gradually hardened by giving them plenty of fresh air on all bright, mild days. If this is not attended tolhe plants Will be- come unnaturally forced and cannot make a hearty strong rowth during the summer. Stragg ing. branches should be cut back so as to induce the formation of stocky and bushy plants. â€"â€" A FEW SU BS'I‘ANTIALS.

This makes a dry. crumbly stuffing. Stuff the fish. sew it up, place two strips of white cotton cloth across the baking pan, stand the fish erect upon the cloth, in the shape of the letter S. Place strips of salt pork on the fish, dredge with flour, and basic. often ‘with the pork fat. Bake till_brown. Remove from the pan by lifting the strips of cotton. Place up- right on a platter.

Drain on brown paper. Serve hot. garnished with parsley. Veal. chicken or turkey may be used instead of lamb. The croquettes can all be fried at once and reheated on a paper placed in a tin in the oven. the next day. A variety is secured by serving the croqucttes with canned peas or toâ€" mato sauce. IN THE SOUDAN. Interesting Account of the Rise of the Khalii‘ii and the Mnhdist Kingdom. An autobiographical sketch entitled “Fire and Sword in the Soudan,” just issued from the pen of Slatin Pasha, is of particular interest just now in view of the British advance and Sla- tin’s participation therein. As Governor-General Slatin Pasha was in a position to un- derstand and explain the ethnological, social, and polilical condiin which made the triumph of the Mahdi pos- sible, and during his long captivity at Omdurman he was an eye-witness of the ruin which the revolution brought on the greater part of the native population. Slatin Pasha. is of the opinion that the whole situation in the of Darfur, Soudan _ might have been changed if, in the winter of 1882â€"83, the auth‘é‘fi‘. ties at Cairo had accepted the good advice which they received, not to deâ€" spatch a large expedition with the aim of reconquering Kordofan, but to station reinforcements from Egypt in strong defensive positions along the \Vhite Nile, and to leave, for the time being, the rebels to themselves. In the author's judgment, the military forces at the disposal of the Royal officers were quite sufficient to stare out the revolt in the so-called Gezira. or island between the Blue and \Vhite Nile, and. to check the advance of the Mahdists from the West. THE KHALIFA. The Mahdi, as is well known, died of typhus fever in Omdurman not long after the fall of Khartoum, and his spiritual and temporal power deâ€" volved upon the Khalifa Abdullah, who still rules under the name of Khalifa. El Mahdi Sayed Abdullah lbn Saycd Mohammedâ€"snch is the full name of the Khalifaâ€"belongs to the Kaaisha section of the Baggaras, as all cattle-owning nomad Arabs are called. \Vlien Abdullah ioined the Mahdi he was 35 years old, and was then a. still active and powerfully built man. It seems that latterly he has become very stout, and his light- ness of gait has long since disappear- ed. He. is now 50 years of age, but looks considerably older, and the hair of his heard is almost white. Slatin Pasha describes him as quickâ€"temper- ed and rash. often acting ‘without a moment's consideration. It was he who gave the order for no quarter at the storming of Khartoum. and it was he who subsequentl' authorized the sweeping massacre 0 women and chil- dren, as well as men. The Khalifa. however, is said to be devoted to his son Osman, who is now 21 years of a. e. and who has been instructed in all the commentaries on the Koran by able Mohammedan teachers. TH E MA HDIST EMPIRE. The extent of country now governed by the Khalifa is little altered from .that occupied originally by the Egyp- tian Government, but prosperous dis- tricts that once possessod a teeming population have been reduced to.des- ert wastes. The. reat plains over which the \Vestern .- rabs roamed arc deserted. and their places taken by wild animals, while the homesteads of the Nile dwellers are now occupied by those nomad tribes who have driven out the rightful owners of the soil, or enslaved them to till the land for the benefit of their new masters. Accord- ‘ to Slatin Pasha. it is folly to ink agine that the country can right itself by internal revolt. The. helping hand must come from without. 'FAIR QUESTION.

One of the curious consequences of the modern division of labor is the cramp that attacks those who constant- ly use their hands in one particular manner. \Vriters'_ cramp was the first to ap- pear, being quite unknown until the in- troduction of steel pens. It affects men far oftener than the fair sex, and singu- larly, those who suffer are not literary men, but copyists. It is almost in- curable, and even when the left hand is used the cramp very soon crosses over to it. Musicians of every kind are attackâ€" ed. Among pianists it is chiefly ladies ambitions to become professionals who are the victims. Violent pain, weak- ness and fatigue of the arm make play- ing an impossibility. Violinists are af- fected both in the fingers of the left hand and the hand that holds the bow. Clarinet players get cramps of the tongue, and flute players get cramp in the larynx. Telegraphers suffer very often, and they call it “loss of the grip," Tailors get cramps in the legs as well as hands. miths and carpenters get what is call- ples. “Your schoolmaster was a. man after my own heart,” said the physician.

The man who lives to himself he- queaths his own folly and poverty and meanness for his monument.

He has lived in himself, he has died in himself. and all that he leaves in memory of himself speaks no word of praise in his behalf, no word of justification. This is no true life.

Madras. lndia. Continuing he said: “I have seen a good deal of change in the coun- try during my 50 years nuaidence. here. and one of the most. remarkable (‘llllllgl's has been in the treatment of Servants. A few years ago in the good, old days of the Madras Presidency, if a servant dis- obeyed his master he would have been strung up and whipped. 1f the whip- ping caused death a fine of ‘ seven ru- pees ($1.75 in our money, according to present value.) would have been ini- posed. “lf,liowcver, the servant's master did not care to run the risk of having to pay the fine, which was considered ii. big sum for the life of a Hindoo in those days, all he had to do was to send the. offending servant with a note to the police magistrate, “and an official whip- per would return with Sammy. The whole appliances for whipping \vere kept' at the Police Department. would be made to carry his own whip- ping post. Flog him hard? I should say they would. The general averagel would be 30 lashes, and if the master thought the rascal was not punished enough he would order 30 lashes more.‘ lf.tlic flindoo died from the effects of this punishment, why, there was no fine to pay, and it was simply ‘good rid- dance. of bad rubbish.’ But look at tho condition of things now. The rascally Hindoo will stand up and sass you. _iou ask )vliy. It is because the Hindoo whipping post has been abolish- ed. At present the offending llindoo is. brought before a Rajah or Judge. of. his own race, and of course he will not be. severe on hi's countryman. 'lhe only way that these Hindoo ser- vants.can be made to obey is to beat and kick them. You cannot showllieni kindness or they at once put you down as a softie. Take my advice, as long‘ as you remain_in India and your ser- vants are lax in their work, you just make them acquainted with the too of your boot." The old gentleman sighed as he re- called the former manner of dealing With servants. His tone of voice and looks indicated that he would like. it rte-established. His advice was both good and true, for lIindoo servants do not appret‘iate kindness, and understand only a. kick when you desire them to obey. 'A "Sahib" (master) who will not give his _servant a kick or a slap has no standing with the Hindoo. and is counted by them as "a no-goodSahib." BROKEN WIRE. flow the. Telegraph operator 'l'clls “'licI-o lhc III-cult is Located. Perhaps the greatest of all mysteries, to the uninitiated, about telegraphy is the fact that when a wire is broken or damaged the operator, sitting in his office, can tell exactlijhcrc the ac- cident has occurred. The explanation, however, is vory simple. It requires force to send elec- tricity through a wire, just as it does to pump water through a hOSe. The longer the wire is the greater is the force required. This force is measured; but, instead of calling it pounds, as in the measuring the pressure in a boiler. electricians call the ui' ' ' '- fogce “ohms.” Me of electrical _ oppose a wire between two off'c is. 150 miles long, and that on a storlnf; night, it .gets broken smnewliero.

He now finds that he. can send incurrent With only 700 ohms. lie. di- vides 700 _by l4, and finds that the'brcuk in the Wire is 50 miles from his end. \Yhen the wire. is under the sea a curious thing happens. The electricity decomposas the sea salt, and a new salt; is_formed on the broken ends of the Wire; and until that is cleared away by what is called a. zinc current, act». ing for ten or twelve hours, no meas~ urement can be made. A MOVING MOUNTAIN. An object of the greatest interest in continental Europe at this minute is a; walking mountain in Gard, France, which is moving toward the river of the same name at the rate of fifteen feet a day. In its advance it has de- stroyed the machinery and pits of the Grand Combo colliery, and has also de« stroyed nearly a mile of the Alain rail- way. A great thing. which must be done now, is to prepare new channels for the Gard and Gardon rivers, which' are sure. when the. landslide comes, to be completely choked up. Six hund- rcd'_ persons have been obling to leave their homes at Grand (,‘o’nibc. The low- er strata. of the mountain. which ris- es sheer from the. valley. are grit. and 'reen mart.
