About 80 per cent, of the exports of this country consists es products of the soil. The prices of the wheat, torn and bacon of the farmer are determined in the foreign market, but he must purchase what he needs in a market in which the prices es all products but his owu are enhanced by the tariff, He must sell a - cording te the rates of one market, in ahert, and buy according to the rates of another. It would be surprising if the farmers of the country do not become tired of the pressure one es these days —Exchange. Here is a fact for workingmen, and so well stated by| the Philadelphia (Pa.)

Fob toothache, where a cavity exists, there ere many remedies in common use. but, says en exchange, none seem to relieve as equal parts of hydrate of eblnra! and gum camphor rublieri togx-i her. Saturate a piece of cotton with tlu- tuixfc uie and put it into the cavuy of the tooth coveting it with dry cotton. Or** must be taken not to allow the remedy to come in contact with the inside of me mouth, as it may produce severe burning. V Ax exchange says : “ Let anyone who has an attack of lockjaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pon <- it on the wound, no matter where* wound is, and relief will follow in than a minute. Nothing better car applied to a severe cut or bruise cold turpentine ; it will give certain lief almost instantly. Turpentine is a sovereign remedy for croup. Sab a piece of flannel with it and pL. •• flannel on the throat and chest, i.i every case three or four drop* on * i of sugar may be taken inwardly.” Db. Ebrard, of Nimes, states that h. has for many years treated all his cases of sciatic and neuralgic pains with an improvised apparatus, consisting merely of a flat-iron and vinegar, two things that will be found in every house. The iron is Seated until sufficiently hot to vaporize the vinegar, and is then covered with some woolen fabric, which is moistened with vinegar, and the apparatus is applied at onoe to the painful spot. The application may be repeated two or three times a day. Dr. Ebrard states that, as a rule, the pain disappears in twenty-four hours, and recovery ensues at once. Salt in Diphtheria. —ln a paper read at the Medical Society of Victoria, Australia, Dr. Day stated that, hawing for many years regarded diphtheria, in its early stage, as a purely local affection, characterized by a marked tendency to take on putrefactive decomposition, he has trusted most to the free and constant application of antiseptics, and, when their employment has been adopted from the first, and been combined with judicious alimentation, he has seldom seen blood-poisoning ensue. In consequence of the great power salt possesses ill preventing the pretiwlactive decomposition of meat and athei organic matter, Dr. Day has olten prescribed for diphtheritic patients living far away from medioal aid the frequ t use of a gargle composed of a teaspev - ful or more of salt dissolved Ai a turn bit; of water, giving children who cannot gargle a teaspoonful or two to drink occasionally, Adnlts to use the gargle as a prophylactic or preventive three or four times a day. J How Voltaire Cured the Decay op His Stomach. —ln the “Memoirs of Count Segur” there is the following anecdote : “My mother, the Countess de Segur, being asked by Voltaire respecting her health, told him that the most painful feeling she had arose from the decay in her stomach and the d; 11: culty of finding auy kind of aliment that it could bear. Voltaire, by way of consolation, assured her that he was once for nearly a year in the same state, and believed to be incurable, but that, nevertheless, a very simple remedy had restored him. It consisted in taking in» other nourishment than yelks of eggs beMten up wim the hour of potatoes and water.” Though (his circumstance concerned so extraordinary a person as Voltaire, it is astonishing how little it is known und how rarely the remedy hai been practiced. Its efficacy, however, in cases of debility, cannot be questioned, and the following is the mode of preparing tins valuable article of food as recommended by Sir John Sinclair : Beat up an egg in a bowl, and then add six table-spoonfuls of cold water, mixing the whole well together; then add two table spoonfuls of farina of potatoes ; let it be mixed thoroughly with the liquid iu the bowl; then pour in as much boiling water as will convert the whole thing into a jelly, and mix it well. It may be taken alone or with the addition of a little milk in cage of stomachic debility or consumptive disorders. — Sou entijic American.

Making Flowers of Soap-Bubbles.

A pretty experiments has been described by the well-known Belgian physicist, M. Plateau. He bends flue iron wire, so as to present the contour of a flower of six petals. The central ring to which the petals are attached is supported on a forking str which is stuck in a piece of wood. After oxidizing the wire slightly with weak nitric acid the flower is dipped in glyceric liquid so as to r-' ceive films in the petals and the centi part. It is then turned up, placed on table near a window and covered with bell jar. For a little at first it appears color! ei but soon a striking play of colors coi mences. In the experiment, M. Plate; describes, the flower continued showii. modifications of color for ten hourß, when dusk stopped observation. Next morning several petals had burst. The liquid used was of very mediocre quality. M. Plateau recommends preparation of the liquid thus: Dissolve a fresh piece of Marseilles soap, cut up into small Sieces, in forty parts by weight of bo+ istilled water. Filter after . mix thoroughly three volume*, oi the solution with two of Price s glycerine. The solution shonld be left at rest till all the air bubbles are gone. London Timet.
