Prof. Brinton says that the very best thing for a sprain is to put the limb into a vessel of very hot water immediately, then add as muoh boiling water as can be borne. Keep the part immersed for twenty minutes, or until tbe pain Bubsides, then apply a tight bandage and secure a reet. For the dyspeptio, fried oysters are forbidden. When roasted in the endl oysters are delicious, and oan be digested with ease even by a weak stomaoh; Chloride of lime should be scattered at least once a week under sinks, and in all places where eewor gas is liable to lurk. To clean bottles, put them into some kernels of corn and a tublespoonful of ashes, half fill them with water, and after a vigorous Bhaking and rinsing you will find the bottles aa good as new. h-ii dißb.es be neatly washed, rinsed in hot water and drained, and then rub them until they shine. Put a pail of water into the tubs directly after using, and they will not leak when wanted for use. In some forms of headaohe, a towel or a napkin, wrung out of hot water, as hot as can be borne, and wound around the head, affords relief. Peach stains may be removed by patting the article in boiling water before washing it. Once the cuds have touched them, tho stains are set and cannot be afterward removed.
