CARE OF THE SICK.

They are Prepared.
Poultices are used in so many case
that it is very important to know how
to make aud apply them properly.
They are intended to convey varmt'
and moisture to the parts affected, a iJ
so must not be made too dry. nor al
lowed to grow cold before being put on.
A wet, sloppy poultice is almost us ob
jectionable m a dry, hard. one. and a
little care will enable one to attain the
happy medium. Flaxseed meal is
best material for a poult ce; it is
always at hand in a country hou-e.
tilt
:i nd
then a substitute must be found lor it.
If many poultices are likely to hi re
quired, as in eritonit s, or iuila'uma
tion of th bowel-, it is well to buy a
few pounds, for nothing can satis ac
torily replace it. If it has not been ap
plied to an open surface where there
is a discbarge of matter, the llax.-eed
can be scraped from the cotton and
heated again, adding a little water if
too stiff, or more meal if there is not
enough. To make it, have ready a suf
ficient quantity of boiling water in a
sauce-pan (two teaeupfuls will
make a good-sized poultice). and
into tnis ' stir enough of the
meal to make a soft, thick paste. By
stirring in one direction, and putting
in the moal gradually, there will be no
lumps. It need not boil after the flax
seed fs in. Have rt?ady a piece of old
cotton, about two inches larger each
way than the poultice is to be when ap-
Jlied, and a small piece of thin muslin.
ip a spoon in boiling water, and spread
the tlaxsecd evenly on the cotton, leav
ing at least two inches of margin on ail
sides; lay the muslin on top of the
poultice, and fold the margin neatly over
it. This prevents the possibility of the
flaxseed oozing out. No Kultiee or plas
ter should ever be directly applied to the
skin; there should always be a layer of
muslin, old linen, fine cambric, or
some thin fabric, between, to prevent
the skin from being soiled, and to make
it more easy to remove the application.
Carrots, 'boiled soft and smoothly
mashed, make a good poultice, and
turnips prepared in the same way are
sometimes used. These must bespread
quickly, or they will cool too rapidly.
Onions boiled in water to which a little
vinegar has been added, make an excel
lent poultice; they should be crushed
with a spoon whe;j spreadin them on
, the cotton. Indian meal make a tol
erable substitute for flaxseed, and is im
proved by the addition of a third part
of slippery elm. Bread is a good ma
terial for a small poultice; it should be
stale and only the crumbs used. Crum
ble it between the fingers, and
pour over' it enough boiling milk
or water to moisten it thoroughly.
When a poultice is intended to relieve
pain, a small quantity of laudanum is
sprinkled on the surface. If it is ap
plied when there is an offensive dis
charge, powered charcoal is used in the
same way, or a tablespoonful of carbolic
acid soluVon is put into the water with
which it is made. A poultice ought to
be removed every two hours at least,
and covered with a piece of oiled silk,
India rubber cloth, or several thick
nesses of flannel, to retain the heat.
Before applying it, test it with the
linger; if it feels uncomfortably warm,
it is certainly too hot to lay on a sick
person. When a gentle stimulant is re
quired, a mustard plaster is generally
used. Emial parts of mustard and
wheat flour is a good proportion. They
should be mixed to a smooth paste witji
warm water boll ng water destroys the
essential oil of the mustard and renders
it less efficacious and then spread as
thinly as possible on a piece of stout cot
ton, covered with muslin and applied.
In ten minutes a corner should bet
raised, the state of the skin in
spected and, if very red, the plaster
removed. It is not desirable to raise
a blister, as one made by mustard is
more painful than any other. It is said
that when mixed with the white of an
egg, it will not blister. Flannel dipped
in vinegar and thickly sprinkled with
red pepper, makes a stimulating appli
cation, that is also free from this objec
t'on. An admirable plaster for a swelled
breast is made by melting together a
ftiece of resin the size of an egg and a
ump of mutton tallow as large as a
nutmeg; let them remain on the stove
for an hour, and when taken from the
tire, stir in the yelk of an egg. Have
ready a piece of cotton the proper size,
cut round and with a hole in the middle,
spread the mixture, on it, cover with
part of an old handkerchief, shaped like
the cotton, and apply warm to the
breast. It usually gives great relief,
and may be left on three or four days.
Wtien a doctor orders a blister, he
generally sends one ready prepared
from an apothecary's shop, or a bottle
of blistering fluid, which only requires
to be painted on the spot where the
blister is to be ra'sed. It must not be
applied where the skin is broken; the
surface should be washed, and, if not
too tender, rubbed with a rough towel.
The time required for it to rise varies in
different ersons; it is usually from six
to,twelvc hours. If it is very slow, it can
be hastened by putting on a warm
poultice; the vesicles will then be
larger, and less painful. When the
blister is raised, if it is intended to let
it heal, the skin must not ba removed,
but snipped carefully in one place with
a pair of sharp scissors, and the fluid
that has accumulated allowed to escape,
then dressed with a piece of soft linen
.spread with lard or vaseline. If it is to
be kept open, the skin must be careful
ly cut around the edge and taken off,
the surface being dressed with any
stimulating ointment the physician
orders. In either case the place must
be washed every morning by gently
squeezing tepid water over it from a
sponge, a baiu or thickly folded towel
being placed underneath, to absorb the
mo'sture. The ointment must be ap
plied again as at tirst. Elizabeth llob

"HOWS YOUR LIVER?"
In the comic opera of "The Mikado"
his imperial highness says :
"To make, to some extent,
Each evil Liver
A running river
Of harmless merriment."
A nobler task than making evil
livers, rivers of harmless merriment
no person, king or layman, could take
upon himself. The liver among the
ancients was considered the source of
all a man's evil impulses, and the
chances are ten to one to-day that if
one's liver is in an ugly condition of
discontent, someone's head will be
mashed before night!
"How's your liver?" is equivalent to
the inquiry: Are you a lcar or an
angel to-day?
Nine-tenths of the "pure cussed
ness," the actions for divorce, the cur
tain lectures, the family rows, not to
speak of murder, crimes and other
calamities are prompted by the irri
tating effect of the inactivity of the
liver upon the brain. Fothergill, the
great specialist, says this and he
knows. He also knows that, to pre
vent such catastrophies nothing equals
Warner's safe cure renowned through
out the world as a maker of .

FASHIONABLE SMALL TALK.
Fiozen Facts for Ladiet and Those AVhn
Care fur Fashion.
Poplin may be said with certa:nty to
have become fashionable; not only has
the Princess , Beatrice ordered dresses
from that fabric for her trousseau.
but her highness of Colonna had two
poplin dresses in her outfit. One ot
ivory white, for evening wear, was
emWo'dered all over in a design of
silver thread. Another for street
wear, of soft silver gray, was bright
ened by touches of red.
lricotine satin is one ot the new
fabrics of the seasou. It is cloudy
woven and has the slight ribbed ef
fect familiar in Jersey cloths, and in
more marked weaving suggests hu tt
ed stuffs. It is all silk with a luster
like satin, and may be had of a single
color or of two changeable colors.
Surahs will remain in favor for
summer silks, and may be had in plain
colors or in the new glace efl'ects that
promise tc be fashionable in various
goods; thus, the twilled silk surrh is
shown chang'ug from black to c:-din-al,
black to gold, blue to brown, or
trreen to red.
Black cashmere dresses for plain
wear should be made as plainly as
if of cloth, and simply st tched or
else ornamented with rows of narrow
soutache; to niako t'rvm more dressy
they may have rows of silver braid oi
of jrilt that is mixed with black.
Instead of severely plain ba.ias or
folds foe trimming skirts there will
now be Vandykes, escallops or leaf
po'nts on the upper edge, while other
folds will have openings or slits cut at
intervals, and through these will be
drawn p-ilt or silver bra d. Tucks will
be more used than at any previous sea
son: and these will be decorated with
braid, slitehing or a piping on the lower
edge.
The old chine silks are revived, with
rings of a dark color on light grounds
lellow will be a d.stinctively fash
ionable color in the new spring muli
ne;y.
Tulle, embroidered with da"ses, corn
flowers and buttercups in chenille, is
among the novelties.
J ea gowns and morning gowns are
both made with House fronts and long
tnvns.
The newest lace pins are in the shape
of a moss rose.and are made of red
gold set with a diamond and sur
rounded by sapphires.
All repped s.lks will bi in high favor
this season, especially what is called
gros fa lie. with flattened reps.
Embroidered surahs a:e seen in all
over patterns or a gay ngure on a
quiet groun 1, which may be either light
or dark.
Shot ribbon velvets are very much
used, and are very handsome; the back
is of satin shot in two colors.
The new sateens almost rival silks
and satins in bjauty; the yar ety of
styles are almost innumerable, lapes
try sateens with patterns in imitation
of cross-stitch work are- new and
pretty.
The most fashionable colors of the
spring season will be the smoke blue
an! grays, the stone shade;, rock gravs
and mushroom browns. The smjice
blues and grays suggest color rather
than show it.
A charm ng fichu, called the (Jala
tea, has a high co'lar covered with
bjads and edged w.th lace. The liehu
is etlged w.th bead embroidery, birt the
center" is tilled in w.th graceful folds of
fine black net st irred with jet, and
caught together at the waist with loops
of narrow satin ribbon, below which
it hang's becom ngly aud gracefully.
In underwear the latest craze is for
tucking. Tucks in groups and clusters
narrow and wide are seen in all arti
cles of underclothing to the exclusion
of lace or embroidery.
(jilt or silver-figured woollens are
also shown again for early spring; in
these there are merely a few ba-s,
blocks or ri.igs of different sizes done
in dark, twilled woollen, and these
figured parts form the vest and trim
the lower part of the front of the skirt.

Hev. II. L. Haweis writes: "Morn

of course, impossible to deal. Of one

Bustles, Steels, Etc.
Bustles are worn very large because
there is a tendency to do away with
masses of drapery on thetournure. The
separate bustle for each dress is a
cushion or pillow of hair made thicker
than it was last season, and tacked
through with threads at intervals to
keep the hair from matting; this is
sewed permanently to the belt, and be
low it are two steels run in casings
across the back of the found tion skirt.
When a pad bustle is objected to,
modistes use a third steel in a casing
about eilit inches below the belt, cut
ting it in two for the opening of the
placket-hole, and puttiug a hook and
eye at the end of the casing to fasten it.

MA I AL
The Wild Animals That Abound in South
Africa.
There are no tigers in Africa. This is
a fact which is not generally known,
for one constantly hears of 4 'tiger' '-hunts
at the Cape a mistake that is caused
by the native habit of calling any crea
ture belonging to the cat or tiger fam
ily a "t'ger." Colonists also fall into
the same mistake. Panthers and leop
ards are indiscriminately "tigers" to the
Kaffir, and the wild-cats are all 'tiger
cats;" and even these so-called "tigers,"
which are in real ty a small kind of
leopard, have become so rare in the civ
ilized parts that a -'tigers-hunt there is
now a rare diversion.
Leopards are exceedingly shy crea
tures. As the farms and villages have
increased, they have retreated further
inland, so thai the report of one being
seen about a village or farm creates
qu'te a sensation, an J he is soon hunted
anil k'lle I, or driven back to his proper
domain. The increasing scarcity of this
par ieular kind of "game," though a
matter of lament to sportsmen, is for
tunate for the farmer, as these animals
are terrible robbers. The depredations
which even one will commit in a herd
or flock are ruinous, because they not
only kill what they eat at the time, but
they like to have a well-filled larder,
and when they get a chance lay up -provisions
in some secret place for a future
day, a leopard not leing, I imagine,
over particular as to the stat j of preser
vation his dinner may be in when ho
re juires it. Th's is such a difficult ani
mal to get at, tiiat a Kallir who man
ages to lcill one is regarded as a kind of
hero, and receives an ovation from his
brother-Kaffirs, who at the same time
ire not a little envious of him who has
earned sir. h a d:sliuction. A leopard
is a great prize to a Kaflir. Its teeth
and claws he strings together for a
necklace, and very well they look glis
tening aga:nst his dark skin; the n'de
he makes into a carross or rug; and the
ta 1 is dangled by a string from his
waist. If he happens to have several of
these ornaments hung round him he is
looked upon as a great swell, quite in
full d -ess, indeed. K atlirs seem to thiuk
that there is something royal about a
leopard s skin, and their chiefs' thrones
are often composed of one thrown over
a mound of earth.
Though the leopard is so scarce in
Natal that persons need have little fear
of com'ng face to face with one, yet
there is a smaller edition of the same
tribe which is more to be dreaded, on
account of its frequent aud daring dep
redations in the joultry-yard. This is
the '-tiger-cat," or, properly speaking,
bush-cat. Whe ever there are fowls to
be had, these .creatures will haunt the
place, and take every one, unless the
fowls are securely shut up. They break
through the Kaffir-built huts, which
P'eople often unwisely keep their fowls
in, as a neighbor of ours found to his
cost, for one morning all his fowls were
strewn about dead in the fowl-house,
kill d by the tiger-eat. Tues'J creatures
are mnch larger than the common cat,
and very fierce and strong, though ca
pable of being tamed.
Another kii?d of cat also does a deal of
harm in Natal, na nely, the common cat
run wild. Cats get driven away from
home, or left behind when people leave
their fa -ms, thi se colonise, and become
great pests. When we left our house,
there was a brood of kittens on the roof
which we could not get near; they were
per.'e.-tly wild. I have heard people say
that these cats become fiercer and do
more harm than even the bush-cats.
There are some other enem'es to poul
try of all kinds, which should be care
fully kept at a distance. One of these
is the jackal, the black-backed one be
ing the most common in Natal. 'This
animal is gifted with a rapacious appe
tite, to which nothing corner amiss. He
will walk off with any small, weak crea
tures that come in his way. rowls,
youug pigs, lambs, and even small pup
pi s are never safe from him; and he
has been known to enter houses and
take even the cooked meat Luckily,
they, too, are getting scarcer in Xsatal,
though there are still a number left
about Cape Town. The Kallirs mak;
splendid earrosses of their skins, par
ticularly of the rare silver jackal, a very
handsome animal, which skins they sew
together with perfectly even stitc-hes.
The most skilled workwoman could not
do them better, though the process
must lequire a great deal pf patience,
from the peculiar manner in which they
sew. They punch holes with a slrong
thorn in the edges of the things they
want to fasten together, and then pass
a long piece of sinew as fine as a thread
backwards and forwards thiough the
holes.
Another South African animal much
sought after for the sake of its prelty
fur must also be refused admittance to
to the fowl-house. It is one of the
smallest of foes, and can therefore creep
through a very small hole. It is called
the ass3 or caama. It does not kid
fowls. Its specialty is eggs of all kin Is.
Even the egg of the ostrich is not safe
from it As its teeth are too small to
break through the shell, it rolls the eggs
about until they smash against the
other eggs, or something hard. They
are excessively greedy. 1 have had a
nestful of eggs taken oft in no time, no
doubt by one of these creatures. Thv
have no objection to an egg having
been sat upon; addled ones and all
kinds are acceptable. Chambers' Jour

The upper class of Anamese have

closely on those of the sane class in

but in silk of less glossy hue. They

either wear sandals or go barefooted.
When they appear in public it is with a
certain number of huge umbrellas or
parasols, some before or beside them to
indicate their rank. The number lia-j

occupation of Tonquin by the Chinese.
The vehicle in which they travel is a

Cancer of the Tongue.
A Case Heisembllnstliatoren. tyrant.
Home ten years a'O 1 had "a Bcrofnloun sore on my
right haml which gave me great trouble ami under the
olil time treatment healed up, but It had only ben
driven into the system by the use of potash and mer
cury, aud in March, 1832, it broke out iu my throat, and
concentrated in what some of the doctors called cancer,
eating through my cheek, destroying the roof of my
mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate
and lower lip, destroying the palate and under Up en
tirely and half my tongue, eatiug out to the top of my
left check bone and up to the left eye. I could not eat
any solid food, but subsisted on liquids, and my tongue
was so far cone 1 could Dot talk. huch was my
wretched, helpless condition the first of last Octolmr
(1864), when my menus commenced giving me nwuts
8iecinc. In less than a month the ating places stopped
aud healing commenced, ami the fearful aperture in my
cheek has been closed and firmly knitted together. A
process of a new under Hp is progressing finely, and the
tongue which was alnio-t destroyed is being recovered,
and it seems that nature is supplying a new tongue. I
can talk so that my friends can readily understand me,
and can also eat solid food again. If any doubt these
facts, I would refer them to Hon. John H. Traylor,
State Senator, of this district, and to Vr. T. S. Urad

Storekeeper, at She Always I.ies, with
Her Dainty Sobs and Tearful Glances.
She vyas pretty anJ sweet, so much
so that the several clerks nearly broke
their necks in struggling to see who
would be the one to wait on htr, but
she ignored tlieni all, anil, sitting down
on a stool, drew from her jxx'ket a
handkerchief which he held in lvadincs
for an application to her eyes, and sent
for the manager. He soon came up to
the lady, who. with the handkerchief to
one eye. Hashed the other brill ant orb
at his, and told her story thuslv:
"Mr. H , Charley, my 'husband'
(sob.) is dead and I have no suitable
(suMlle) mourning. 1 came down to
see (gulp) if you would trut nie for a
(sob) mourning outlit." (Sniille.)
Here the other eye was hid behind the
handkerchief, while a kind of cold chill
shudder passed over her.
"But, my dear madanie, I don't know
you. 'It would be rather departing
from our rules to comply witli your re
quest," replied Mr. It , politely.
How much of a bill "did you wish to
buy?"
"I want (sob) everything as nice
(snitlJe) as I can get (sob) about (an
other snitlle) .iiJ0, I (sob) guess.
1 am sorry, but as 3011 are a stran
ger to me 1 shall have to decline unless
you can furnish security or come recom
mended by some one known to us."
"Do vou (sob) know Mr. (two sob)
Mr. Richfe!low?" (Two snillles.)
"Yes, madanie, I know him; do you
think he would guarantee the payment
of the bill?"
I don't (sob) want (sniflle) want
you to (sniflle) ask him (sniille) because
1 am going (two snillles) to marry him
(sob) when my (sob) mourning has ex
pired." (Sob.)
"Well, in a case of that kind ot
course we will trust you; we can pre
sent the b'.ll to him after jour mar
riage." -
-O, thank you (brightening up),
thank you; indeed, that will be all
right. 'Now I want a box of black
gloves number six and a half, fourteen
yards of cashmere, thirty yards of crapo
cloth, twelve yards of veiling, two boxes
of black silk hose (number eight) and
the necessary trimmings; pVasc fix it
up nice. Don't you think I will look
n'.ce in mourning?"
Mr. u looked into her eyes, his
heart began to jump, and thinking- dis
cretion the better part of valor, he
assured her that her order' would bo
tilled and the lady depart-d smiling.
