To CHoose A TUKKEY.—Do not try to twist ite wings, but feel the point of its breast-bone; if this “gives” to the fingers, instead of being hard and sharp, you may know the bird is young. Abairy turkey. with reddish or. purplish tings and back, is likely to be old; so is one of un-| usually large size, unless you can trust the | Gealer's word. The pin-feathers are pointed 1s | the young and rounded in an old bird; som, pliable legs and feet are the signs of freshness in Game, as the legs very soon dry and stiffen. ‘MILK CooKIES.—Two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of sour milk, three eggs, one teaspoonful of soda; sour milk is so little used Since the advent of baking powders that few modern cooks know how to dispose of aan. sour milk orcream. Here is an old-time most excellent recipe for sonr cream or mill cookies. Mix the butter and sugar 7 add the milk and soda and the beaten; mix soft, roll thin. When the cookies are cut out sift granulated sugar over them and roll it by pressing the rolling-pin gently over | the cakes, taking care not toflatten them too | mueh. Pork Pre.—Make a good plain paste. Take from 2 to three pounds of the thick end of a Join of pork, with very little fat on it. eat into Father thin slices three inches long by two inches wide; put a layer at the bottom of a pie | gis, | Wash and cuop finely a hand/ul of pars- | Jey, alco. an onion. Sprinkle small portion ot | Shee over the pork, and grate @ litte nutmeg over, and a little pepper and salt. Add another layer of pork, and over that some more of thesea- soning, only be sparing ofthe nutmeg. Continue this urtil the dish is full. Now pour into the dish a cuptul of stock or water, and a spoonful or two of catsup. Put a little paste around the ¢ of the dish; put on the cover, and plice the piv in a rather hot oven, Whee the paste has risen and bezins w lake color, piuce the ple at the bottoms of the oven, with some puper over it,as it will require tobe’baked at leas ours. — Phila deipuia Ledger. ‘orse.—There are @ mult tude of sufferers from the noises of their neigh- borhood who endure what amounts to agony, exciting their nerves to abnormal action atid their putise to fever heat, when it would dothem | no injury to use a Simpl means of obviating the whole thing.

From the New York Tribune. A number ot Ameriean doctors who have for three years been practising thetr profession in the hospital at Shanghai, China, returned re- cently to this country, bringing with them many curious mementoes of thelr stay in the celestial empire and many strange and amusing stories of the customs of the people. “Ot course we take the New York papers,’ said Dr. Park. “We've got to do that te keep abreast of the times.

From the St. James Gazette. Sparrows are much too artful for any trap. It 4s almost tle to set nooses or lay clap pets for these birds. The sparrow catcher’s method is known as bat-fowling.

In Mr. Honeyman’s opinion; the popular notion that high ceilings are conductive to the healthfulness of rooms is | erroneous.

In spite of the opposition encountered by our protest against cigarette smoking, which, it will be remembered, first raised the question about this form of the use of tobacco, it 18 now generally admitted that we were right and our opponents wrong in the matter. The rapid con- sumption of the finely shredded leaves very close to the mouth has been proved torender the practice of smoking cizareties peculiarly objec- Uonable. Moreover, it has been shown that, although the use of a tube and the provision of & plug ot cotton will lessen the evil, thes do not wholly deprive the cigurette of ith objectiona- ble qualities. We are not, as is well known, ad- voeates of the disuses of tobacco. If moderately and wisely employed it isa valuable sedative to the nerves, and has an especlally soothing influ- ence in the majorily of instan There are, however. certain properties ofthe tobacco sinoke which ought tobe more generally nnderstood. it is unquestionably in some way aspecial sedative to the beart’s action. We are notin the jea-t surprised to find jt stated that a considerable proportion of thé boys inedicaily examined ior the United States navy are rejected on the score of “weakness of. the heart,” and that thix should be attributed to the babitof smoking cigarettes, As we pointed out when first dirce! ing attention to the subject, the sph shows a peculiar influence ‘to be ex: y the smoking of tobacco, particularly in the form of cigarettes, on the pulse, purtiy due to the de- pression of the heart's action and partly to the joss Of vasomotor tone in the arteries, Those practitioners who do not habitually use the ppbyemograph in their aauy work, but content themselves with simply feeling the pulse with the finger, nay not be aware of this fact. It is @ fact, nevertheless. ‘To the sedative action of the tobacco on the heart may possihly be due that agreeable sense of quietude and of “cool- ing” which is commonly experieuced when smoking in the heat of summer. ‘The points for when we are now especially anxious to call consideration are these: (1) The influence of tobacco is apparently cumulative. A warning sense of excess in the use of tobacco generally comes too late. ‘The pipe, cigar, or cigarette may be laid aside, but the depressing ornanseating effect increases for some time. Nevertheless there is no valid reason to suppose tobacco or nicotine does not actually accuinu- late, (2) Excitation of the nerve centers, as by oxidation, seems to intensify the effects of to- baeco when once taken into the system. On going out into the alr and breathing quickly the characteristic sensations are nearly always for @ time aggravated. (3) A cigar or cizurette Smoked {hrough @ ‘fine tube is generally “stronger” in its influence than the same smoked without a tube, ‘These three results of observation and experi- Ment seem to suggest the conclusion that the action of tobacco is topical as ‘regards the ,nerves, the afferent radicles being first acted ‘upon, and when these are brought under its influence the centers being affected from the riphery. In short, we incline to think to- Bacco is not absurved, or, it it be, its netion ie not due to absorption, but'that It Operates as a ripheral sedative, Ifke cocaine, and produces ts general effects, as cocoa stops the sense of punger by numbing the nerves ol the stomach, e central effects being secondary, and t6 some extent reflex. it is wor while to pursug this subject further.

Mr. Garratt, in a re- centedition of his interesting “Marvels of In- Stinct,” gives a very circumstantial account of an instance in which a very large adder was feen on a bank by the roadside basking in thesun. The narrator of the story advanced to assail the creature with his: stick. Onob- serving him, she e aslight hiss, at the same time raising ber head w little 4nd opening her mouth. The signal was understood by her four little ones, which instantly glided down her throat.- But her thought tor her off: spring caused the mother's destruction, for the act delayed the adder long Snongh for him to strike again, and the snake, gorged with young, Jay dead at his feet. Mr, Girratt then removi her body intothe middle of the road, to see what hud become of the “insiders.” He opened. the snuke, and the four young all came out alive. The little animals wrigaled about in all munner of forms, as it something strange bad happened to them, and as if they knew not where togo or whatto do. Mr. Garratt, annoyed apparently at the doubt which has been sume- iimes expressed as to the tof snakes afford- their young a temporury shelter from dan- ger in thelr own insides, has collected a lance ulnber of well-recorded instances of the fact, ind, it may be noted, that in most of the cases. cited the parent perished in consequence of the delay her regard tog her young oc ioned. Coming tos somewhat higher ype of animal, the same devotion is to be found, as is exem- plified in this story ofa rat und cobra fight, nar- Fated in the pages of a contemporary, The Spectator of the conflict relatos that the two combatants fil from the roof ofa hut to withina. few iect where he was standing, and through the open window he was enabled to witness the battle. The rat, he states, was too a: ile for the heavy movements of the ‘snuke, and for a long time'eseaped unscathed, while her enemy was desperately wounded. Ultimately the cobra succeeded in inflicting @ bite, and, as though aware that precuution was now ‘useless, the poor rat rushed Into close quarters, and firmly Tixing her teeth in the throat of the venomous creature, never let go her grasp again snake plunged about furiously, but val enemy had made a death-gripe’ on its tiroat and both the duellists fell in the flight, Subse. quent research proved that the rat had faced tov ormidable {oe for the preservation of ber Mttle ones, the nest of young rats being discov- ered in the roofing. ———+er—__ Glass Eyes, MOST OF THES MADE IN GERMANY AND 'RANCE—SUME GOOD ONES PRODUCED IN THIS couNtRY.

The Philadelphi Medical Batletin: French, Ri & Co., Carran & joler. cs WHAT THEY KNOW AROUT DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY, Read what The Medical Bulletin, ot Philadel- phia, a Monthly Journal of Medicine and Sur- gery, eMited and published by Physicians of high standing, says editorially of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiske; Tho use of alcohol in ita various forms is of such great importance in the treatment of di-- ease that we would be most sorely puzzled to get along without it. As a drug itis of the 5 Rely ld value, no matter how much its use is be deprecated as an article of diet, It is to be deplored that the great demand for it for the latter purpose has rendered itan object of much sophistration, and it is only with difficulty that the clan may pronounce in favor of an article Of that, Kind, knowing that, there is no longer any bran st grapes in France, or that the whiskies of our market are rarely ‘anything else than flavored and pre- pared high wines. It is gratifying toknow that the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company has under- talen to furnish for medical: uses @ pure malt whiskey, which is reported to be all that is de- sired of alcoholic stimulant in treatment of disease, Free from that polsonous amylic al- cohol called tasil of], it is said to be readily borne by the most irritable stomach, without creating any disagreeable after effect and gas- tric derangement. Further comment is unnecessary. Every well-regulated family should have # bottle on their side-board, The following opinion of Messrs. CoRRAN & Gorsr, Well-known wholesale and retail drug- gists, speaks volumes: Gentlemen—The broad difference of opinion existing among medical men as to the wisdom or propriety of employing alcoholic stimulants in disease, can never be harmonized by any ar- ument in favor of a particular brand of liquor, flowever trae or intrinsically valuable notwith- siahding that much of thisdivergence of thought may be traced originally to the pernicious ef- fects of the worthless material labeled and sold as “pure wines and liquors.” All are agreed, how- over, that whenever stimulants are employed, whether Indicated or not, they: should be of & character unquestioned by experience in the lck-room or by the moat delieate manipulations in the chemist’s laboratory. An experience of more than twenty years in the drug and legiti- mate apothecary business hasgiven us a wide range of ucqnalntance with the wants of the profession and requirements of the sick in the Arection of stimulants. Among the many arti. cles of liquor dispensed at our establisiment during these years for medicinal use, we can say confidently that none have approached the cele- brated Duify’s Pure Malt Whiskey In freedom from fusitoil and other noxicus’ materials, in smootliness of taste, roundness and delicacy of flavor, making it alike acceptable to all ages and {6 the most delicate stomachs, In typhoid fever, dysentery, diarrhea, and all low forms Of disease, the medical profession will tind this article of whiskey invaluable asa stimulant and tone, without any of the bad effects usually following ’the taking of spirits less refined.
