SUGGESTIONS OF VALUR.

For cold in the head nothing is better than powdered bnr-'x snuffed up the nostnls. Whooping cough oaroxysms are relieved by breathing the fumes of turpentine or carbolic acid. Statistics show that pe \ ’ live longer in a brick house than in stone, and that woo den houses are the healthiest. For stomach cramps use gin ger-ale or a half teaspoonful of the tincture of gingeriu a half a glass of water in which a half teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Salt sprinkled on any sub stanca burning on a stove will stop the smoke and smell. Salt thrown upon coals blazing from the fat of chops or ham will cause the blaze to subside. For burns sweet oii and cot ton are the standard remedies. If they are not at hand sprinkle the burned part with flour and wrap loosely with a soft cloth. Don’t remove the dressing until the inflamationsubsides, as it will break the new skin that is forming. To prevent bread dough forming a hard crust when required to keep over, take a la dor other tin pail with a properly fitting lid, punch about a dozen holes in the center of the lid, flour the pa!l, put in the dough, and press tli Aid down firmly. We have been making too much of heredity. We have said, “The father is a thief, therefore the son will be a thief.” He has felt our saying -we have thought him down. This heredity business is the mistake of the age. Whatever else we are, we are God s children and He has no oet child, and if he has it is ;he one that has gone away. Not the one who h-is stayed at rome and lied about his brother. Because your father and mother both died of consumption. have you got to die with it? Please get that out of your mind. This heredity business has been worked for more than its worth. You are a separate and individual child to God—“ The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” God says by his sensi - ble prophet Ezekiel, “Ye shall use that proverb no more.” “Every man shall give an account of himself to God”—that is from St. Paul. Men who have been making rules for men will be terribly disap pointed when tiiey stand be fore God—Rev. Myron W. Reed. The first white settler in the city of St. Paul came in the year 1832; to day the population < f the capital of Minnesota is 200,000. The first log cabin was erected in 1838; today the city boasts of some of the finest business and resi dence buildings on the American continent. The town site was located in 1847; the capital in 1851. The first survey of they city was made in 1851; the chamber of commerce organ ized in 1867. The original St. Paul proper, platted in 1847, contained about eighty acres. The present area of the city contains 35,482 acres. Nearly nine hundred thousand of the new text-books have been supplied by the Indiana school book company, most of which are in actual use by pupils. One-third of the townships which made origi nal requisitions have made additional requisitions, and a considerable number have made a third requisition. The new books are in use in nearly every township tin the state and appear to be.giving satis faction to everybody except the old school book trust and its purchased creatures. As a “failure,” the school book law is hardly {proving a success.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Siberia is commonly regard - ed as a region of ice and cold; but in sum met time it is about as hot as there is on the face of the globe.
