ARTIFICIAL HONEY.

Equal to bee honey, and often mistaken by the best judges to be
genuine. It is palatable and luxurious. All persons are more or less
aware that honey should be used in every household, and it would be so
if every family could have it at a very moderate price. As a
health-establishing nutriment in the chamber of the invalid, and as a
delicious luxury for the well, honey cannot be too highly recommended.
Any one using this honey regularly will find that he is strengthened
and refreshed by it. He will have greater energy and if at all
inclined to dyspepsia will find himself greatly helped. This honey
costs but eight cents per pound to prepare, and our directions are so
simple a child ten years old can follow them.

_Recipe:_ Take two ounces of slippery elm bark and put into three
quarts of warm water and let it stand four hours; strain and add eight
pounds of white sugar; boil four minutes; then add one pound of bee
honey while hot. Flavor with a drop of the oil of peppermint and a
drop of the oil of rose.

Any lady will readily see what a saving the possession of the above
recipes may cause in her household expense. Thus, you can get a ten
cent box of stove polish for three cents, a twenty-five cent package
of washing powder for seven cents, a twenty-five cent box of starch
enamel for five cents, etc. Any of the articles contained in the list
will take but a short time to prepare a large supply.

POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES.

The first thing to do in a case of poisoning is to cause the ejection
of the poison by vomiting. To do this, place mustard mixed with salt
on the tongue and give large quantities of lukewarm water; or, tickle
the throat with a feather. These failing, instantly resort to active
emetics, like tartar emetic, sulphate of copper or sulphate of zinc.
After vomiting has taken place with these, aid it, if possible, by
copious draughts of warm water until the poison is entirely removed.
Of course, if vomiting cannot be induced the stomach pump must be
employed, especially if arsenic or narcotics have been taken. The
following table may be useful for emergencies:--
