Thousands of cases of Accidental Poisoning are 
occurring every year, and they are likely to occur, 
even In the most careful families.—The American 
Agriculturist, for July 1st, gives a list of over SIXTY 
POISONS, and against each poison tells ivhat 
remedy to use, and how to use it. These remedies 
are found in most households. It is the most com¬ 
plete and convenient thing of the kind ever printed, 
and should he kept In every family. Don't fail

“Ugh!—did it hurt you, Bubby?” said 
the weigher, as the chain creaked and the 
tripod settled and cracked. 
“ O, go on with your weighing, and stop 
your lip,” said “ Bubby.” 
“Two hundred and three and a-lialf 
pounds,” said the weigher, and turning to 
me, added, “ for all weights over two hun¬ 
dred we get ten cents, sir.” 
lie got his ten cents. I've since learned 
that “Bubby” is hired to “hang round” 
and “pick up” just such benevolent-faced 
old gentlemen ns Uncle Charles— men who 
do not weigh much themselves, but like to 
know tlie weights of others, mentally,moral¬ 
ly and physically. 
That slmrp-f'aced gentleman, with, a high 
hat, was also weighed; but he informed Die 
weigher that Ids scales were not right, for he 
“knew lew an ounce jest what his weight, 
was before he left bum up in Varmounl ” 
ile declined to pay any five cents after “ try- 
in’ the scales tew see if they were all right. 
It was mere ccwr’osity.”

ELLA’S LETTER—COOKING, 
Dear Mr, Editor : — I was so much 
pleased with Edith's letter to the girls, that 
I resolved to try writing one myself, I am 
not as old as she is, so don’t expect me to 
do as well; but I hope to improve as 1 grow 
older. I uin learning to cook and make a 
cake, which every one who has tasted calls 
real good. Perhaps some of your young 
readers would like to try it, so 1 will give 
them the recipe; 
Take two-thirds of a cup of sugar, and 
thoroughly beat with two eggs; powder, 
fine, a tciispoonful of cream tartar ami one- 
half ditto of soda ; mix them in two-thirds 
of a cup of flour; beat all well together; 
flavor, and hake in a quick oven. 1 hope 
the girls will all try if. 
I have a very pleasant room; but there is 
a nice cherry tree in front of it, so 1 do not 
need any ivy curtain. I have a toilet table 
made of rough boards and covered with 
while cloth, so as to look quite tasty, T'hen 
I make frames out of many different things 
for my pictures. If you think this good 
enough to put in your interesting und in¬ 
structive paper, I may tell you more about 
myself and a wonderful dog I have. 1 hope 
the girls will write often, for I enjoy reading 
their letters more than older ones.

One day I loaned on my eanc a moment 
to rest myself and look at the man without 
hands who whittles with his toes, day after 
day, to win sympathy and pennies from 
those who may pass. .1 was just turning 
away when that rough-faced follow you sec 
iu the picture pointing lo the scale’s index 
said :—“ Try your weight, sir ?” He pointed 
to a chair suspended ns a swing to tlie scales 
above, and the scales to a tripod. “Try 
your weight, sir?—only five cents.” Uncle 
Charles declined; but, there happened to 
be passing the fat boy you see in the seat. 1 
said, “ I’ll pay you for weighing this little 
fellow, if he’ll take a seat.” 
“ Bubby, come here,” promptly said the 
man, taking him by the button hole. “ Have 
a weigh? ’twont cost a single red, and 1 
want to try my scales and see if they are 
right.” 
“Bubby” was nothing loth, and into the 
seat lie was lifted, and dropped by tlie weigh¬ 
er, much as if lie was a bag of grain.
