Removing a Cinder from the Eye.
The proper wnv to eet a eindpr- nnr
of the eye is to dr.iw the upper lid
down over the lower, utilizing the lashes
of the lower as a broom, that it may
sweep the surface of the former and
thus got rid of the intruder. Or
drawing the lid away from the globe,
pass a clean camel s hair brush or fold
of a soft silk handkerchief two or
three times between them. This pro
cedure will, in nearly all cases, suffice;
when it does not the services of a Dh vsi-
clan are necessary. It is a remarkable
fact that a very minute body will give
rise to Intense pain, and even after it
has been extracted the sensation m.
mains for an hour or more. AfW tha

every fifteen minutes la iced water till
tne teelinir subsides. Ladies Hnm.

To renovate hat bands'when stained

We are told that a simple way of prs
serving the color is to wash them intoap
free of so la and in the last rinsing water
to add a teaspoonful of good vinegar.
Wring them oui and clap them into
shape. A hot iron tends to destroy ths
color, particularly if they are wet.
It is a science to put on gloves for ths
first time. The hands must be perfectly
fresh, dry and cool. After putting in
fingers and thumb fasten the second
button from the bottom, coming to ths
front one last. Remove the gloves from
the wrist and not by the lingers, and
leave them tnrmd thus inside out so
that all moisture may be dissipated.
When putting away gloves do not roll,
but lay them lengthways in a satchet.
Place white flannel between pairs ol
light gloves.
Smut.
A correspondent asks us how to pre
vent smut in wheat and blasting in oats.
Experiments have been made with
oats, but so far no remedy for the blight,
which for many years has caused great
Iobs of this crop, has been discovered.
In regard to smut on wheat Prof. W.
A. Kellerman in a recent lecture before
the Ohio Agricultural Convention gives
the following as embodying bis experi
ence: "It would be a long story to relate the
experiments in detail which have re
sulted in the discovery for the stinking
smut-of cheap and efficient fungicides;
that is to say, modes of treatment of the
ee-d grain (which may have adhering
spores) that entirely suppress the dis
ease. I know of no reported experi
ments touching thb prevention of lose
smut except those carried on by my
former assistant (W. T. Swingle) and
myself ; but unfortunately they were not
successful, and need not be further dis
cussed. "Of numerous fungicides (twenty-foar
in all) that were used in the experiment
to prevent stinking smut one is to be
especially recommended, namely: hot
water; temperature, 132 degrees Fahren
heit. The immersion of the seed in wa
ter kept at this temperature should be
continued fifteen minutes. When the
seed which should be in a basket or
frame lined with wire netting, say twelve
meshes to the inch is dipped into the
hot water the temperature will suddenly
fall so low that the spores of the smut
that may be present will not be killed
even with prolonged immersion. It is,
therefore, necessary to add at once suffi
cient hot water to bring up the tempera
ture to about 1.12 degrees, never above
135 degrees and better never below 130
degrees. Observing this and also the
further precaution to shake, lift and
plunge the basket of seed so as to injure
the contact of the hot water with every
grain of the wheat, the smut will surely
be killed. The seed thus freed from ad
hering spores will produce a clean crop.
The grain may be treated days or weeks
before seed time, or it may be sown im
mediately after treatment and beiore the
grains are completely dried.
"Numerous exnerimenta with oats
showed in every case that there was an
increased yield of grain, due apparently
to the effect of immersion in hot water,
aide from the mere killing of mut.
TIiub when there was from 7 to 10 per
cent, of smut in the crop tbe yield from
tne treated seed was augmented not eniy
oy an amojnt equivalent to tbe average
amount of smut, but by twice the same.
it is very pronaoie mat a similar resuiv
would be obU ned in phh of wheat
treated in the same manner described
be'ore. At any ra'e the stinking smnt
c n be effectually prevented, if tne
proper fungicide be used. The expense
in treating the seed it verv small, and if
the latter is badly infected, great finan
cial profit mnst necessar ly follow."
