HOUSE, IND HOME. Nearly every person knows what to do in ease of injury or sudden sick- , nese. but it often happens that under the exeitinent attending such circumstances they become confused, and forget all they know about it. The following suggestions might be , pasted up on the inside of the closet or book-case door where they could be referred to promptly: For stomach cramps, ginger ale, or of a half teaspoonfull of the tincture ginger in a half glass of water iu which half a teaspoonfull of soda had been dissolved. SwoUowiug saliva often relieves sour stomach. Hot, dry flannel, applied as hot as possible for Neuralgia. Whooping-Cough paroxysms are relieved by breataiug the mines of terpentine or carbolic acid. I For cold in the head nothing is | better than powdered borax snutied I up the nostrils. | a strong solution of bicarbonate of | soda (baking soda ) taken frequently ■ is a reliable remedy for diarrheal I troubles, particularly those rising I from accidity of the stomaon. A standing antidote for poison by dew, poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take a handtul of quicklime dissolve in water, let It stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned parts with it, three ■ or four applications will never fail to cure the most aggravated cases, If children do not thrive on milk it must be boiled. Powdered rosin is the best thing to • stop bleeding from cuts. After the powder is sprinkled on, wrap the wound with a soft cotton cloth. As soon as the wound begins to feel feverish keep the cloth wet with cold water. For burns, sweet oil and cotton are the standard remedies. If they are not al hand sprinkle the burned part with flour, and wiap loosely with a soft cloth. Don’t remeve the dressing until the inflammation subsides as it will break the new skin that is forming. For nose bleeding, bathe the face and neck withoold water. If an artery is severed, tie a small cord or handkerchief tightly above it. For bilious c die, soda and ginger In hot water. It may be taken freely, Broken limbs should be placed iu natural positious and the patient kept quiet until the surgeon arrives.

Nervous spasms are usually reVend by; a little salt taken into the mouth and allowed to dissolve. Hemorages of the lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt. The patient should be kept as quiet as possible, sleeplessness caused by to much blood in the head may be overcome by applying a cloth wet with cold water to the back of the neck. For pains in the chest or stomach as much Dover’s powder as wiiliie on a silver 5-cent piece. Wind oolie is promptly relieved by peppermint essence taken in a little warm waler. For small children it may be sweetened. Paregoric is also good. Chlorate of potash dissolved in water is a standard remedy' for sore threat, particularly if the throat feeis raw. Tickling in the throat is best relieved by a gargle of salt and water. Indigestion is the prolific cause of colics, diarrhea, headachs, constipation and most diseases of the bladder. Food that is not oigested, fer-

ments and becomes powerfully acid j • eaxisiag. irritation and inffamation wherever it touches. Many fevers are caused by it. Pepsin is the best remedy if taken immediately after eating, if Petsiu is not taken, the acidity should be controlled by bicarbonate of soda , or potash. Sickness of the stomach is most promptly relieved by drinking a tea-cup-full of hot soda and water. If it brings the offending matter up all the better. A teaspoonfull of ground mustard in a cup of warm water is a prompt and reHable emetic and should be resorted to in case of poisoning or cramps of the stomach from over eating. Pains in the side are most readilv relieved by applications of mustard. Sprains and bruises call for an application of arnica. Avoid purgatives and strong physics as they not only do no good but are positively hurtful. Pilis may relieve for the time, but they seldom cure. The pill taker's latter end is always worse than his first condition. Stomach bitters are a snare, and only * creaie a desire for stimulant. Eat only sucn things as agree with you, and not to much at a time. By heeding the warnings of your stomach many doctor’s bills, and even undertakers’too maybe avoided Shun feasts and big feeds. Give , children plenty of milk and bread, graham or oatmeal carckers, and good ripe fruit. They will not only thrive on this diet but will keep healthy.

In erery house there should be a little nook in which a few simple remedies are kept. Among them should be extract of ginger, Dover's powder, peppermint, chlorate of potash, bicarbonate of soda, sweet oil paregeric. camphor, arnica, a bottle of pure whiskey, cotton, old muslin for bandages, some sticking plaster a box of ground mustard and some ready made mustard plasters, always strike a light when you go to get any of these in the dark, and be aure yog have the right one. A Man Burned to Death While His Wife Slumbered at His Bedside. A shocking affair occurred at the Hampton mines, on the outskirts of Secauton. .William Cook, who was Stricken by small pox a few lays ago was dying. His wife and babe were ' ' -In Hie u ame room on the ground floor. Mrs. Cook placed a lighted candle in the band of her husband and then knelt by his bedside to pray. No one had visited the house for days. Overcome by fatigue she fell asleep, and when the candle had spent itselr it burned through the rigid fingers of the dying man, setting the bed-clothes on fire. Mrs. Cook started u,, but fainted on the floor at the sight. A Crowd 6t neighbors gathered at th l WWI"V outside at d looked ■ but wouldn’t venture across the threshold <»f the plague-stricken house. At last two men, more courageous tli an there.-t, arrived at the bouse, burst open the door, and earned out the sufliicating mother and child. Then the body of Cook wai» removed and presented a frightful spectacle, the flesh dropping from the bones. The Are was extinguished with difficulty. Mrs. Cook has so far re cqverwd as to tell the particulars ol j tits unMappy affair. She says she h; Bi t slept for several days before th. occurrence, and was c mpleteiy w on, out for lack of rest when she knelt t< pray beside her husband. They wen Qernmu Catholics, and the iightec candle was placed in the hand of tin husband as a syndiol of the imtuota liglft toward which the soul w..s <> T***’ '

ple have read, with no small degree of eagerness, the eulogy passed upon the villainous assassin, by Colonel Charles Reed, the junior of the duet of lawyers who are defending. 1 ' reading portion of the county folks were curious to know what of good i r what in defense of the murderer of the Presided’ any man could say. Hence, Mr. Heed’s address to the jury the other day was an interesting production. Those w.ho have scanned and conned the speech pronounce it as abie as any ordinary lawyer eould produce under tba circumstances—under the pressure of great prejudice on the part of the hearers. It is up liill work speaking before a jury whose opinion is supposed to be already formed and formed contrawise or adverse to that the speaker is attempting to form iu them, and to be surrounded by a crowd of auditors liable to hiss, and backed by a client continuously interjecting remarks which flustrate and embarrass. So, under the circumstances, and eons deriug also that little good of the villain or little in justification of the deed c uid be said, it must be concluded that Mr. Reed did well. Charles Reed is about forty-two years of age, about five feet and ten inches high, solidly and well built, weighing probably 180 pounds. His general appearance is very|good, his large mustache, slightly mixed with gray, and a long, slender “goatee,” give him a rather dignified appearance, yet a pair of light gray eyes and a somewhat florid complexion detract from the well-appearance the former lend. He wears a Scotch business suit, dark gray, coat sacque, double-breasted, and in the fold of which he is prone to plunge his hand while talking. He speaks rather frequently, and acknowledges the rulings and power of Judge Cox in a somewhat reverential manner. Mr. Reed is a very fair, although not eminent lawyer. He seems to be embarrassed by the uncomfortable position Guiteau places him in his insinuating remarks, and also from the fact that he put himself in a position open to criticism by accepting the invitation to act as counsel for tJie defense after he had been upon the witness-stand. He says he believes Guiteau “loony,” that he had a case in Chicago, about two years ago, which came up before a Police Court. Guiteau was counsel for the opposite side of the issue. After Mr. Reed had talked to the Court and left no ease for Guiteau’s client, Guiteau arose and harangued the Court for two hours on the subject of religion. Mr. Reed thinks a sane man would have done differently, and hence he espouses the defense in the name of a humanitarian.

Mr. George Scoville, the senior counsel for the defense, resembles a class leader or Methodist preacher more than a lawyer. He is veryemotional, and w hen such bull-dogs as Judge Porter him with sarcasm, irony or iiftivy criminal lawpoints, and he is overthrown in an issue, great tears come to his sympathetic eyes, and he sits down, sighing as if to cry. This has been his course of late, since he appears to have lost heart in the ease. Mr. Scoville looks to be about fifty-six or fifty-eight years old. His hair and whiskers are entirely gray, the latter covering only the lower portion of his face. His ,ead is well shaped, bald two-thirds back. He wears spectacles almost continuously, but while speaking to the Court or Jury he frequently fumbles them in his fingers and places them often to refer to books or not«s. He is about five feet eleven inches high, weighs probably 160 pounds, wears a dark cassimere suit, coat cutaway, low collar and black tie. He does not Use tobacco, as doe« Mr. Reed, but is an incessant chewer of toothpicks, paper, etc., from a nervous habit. Mr. Scoville is a retiring gentleman, of quiet, timid disposition, has little or no experience as a criminal lawyer, but, being driven into the defense of his brother-in-law by his fervent wife, he is doing yeoman service, despite the fact that the villain denounces him aj a “noodle,” “fool,” “numb-skull,” etc. He is not a brilliant speaker, but pleads his cause in a simple, affectionate manner, like one asking for pardon. He is in almost indigent circumstances, and unless the Court allows him a fee for services rendered at the close of the trial, will be in deep financial distress. [lndianapolis Sentnel.

What a Prosperous Newspaper is Worth The value of the New York Sun is represented by three hundred and fifty shares of stock, of which one share was sold the other day for $4,100. This puts the value of the whole at sl, 400,035, ; ct a bad estimate for a ■‘small” d i ■ paper. But this sum does not represent the real value. For reasons best known to parties concerned. this single share was not bid upto its value; it was sold cheap, Th? actual price of the Sun stock is $5,000 per share, which brings the entire interest up to $1,750,000. Five thousand dol ars per share is five times more than par value, w hich is SI,OOO per share. For years the Sun has paid 50 per eent. dividends on the par value of its stock: so that one share brings in the holder SSOO pe. year. At this rate of interest, $5,000 per share is not a high price. Mr. Charles A Dana’s income from salary and interest on stock is said to be $75000 per year, and Mr. England’s, the publisher’s is very large. An explosion in the East St. Louis rendering works, situated north of the National stock yards, almos* completely demolished the building and killed John Cozisco and seriously injured Jerome Tyler and John Meyerbafer.
