In tho Sick Ro'j^.1 The greatest fatality to little chick ens from exposure to wet generally ’comes in the summer. During thb season the showers are sudden and : drenching : and the dews are exceed ingly heavy. ■ There U a rankuess about tfixwcedc fctsd the grass that re tain3 the fret late of a morning, ami '/pr a considerable time after a sliowei all low and shaded spots are usually more or less damp. During this pe riod the coops sould always be set on elevated ground for safety, as it fre -queutly happens that a whole brood *Js drowned in tvfie night by the flood- ■Jpgfalri'. This is knowledge born of experience, as we lost several clutch- 'es of valuable chickens in this way a ’few years since. It is a bad policy to 'coop young chickens on low graund 'atany time, but it is particularly •dangerous at this season when 'heavy rainfalls are sudden and fre quent. 7n addition to the danger of drown- jnfe'ik the liability to roup and dysen tery when quartered in low situations. These two ills are fruits of exposure to the wet. Roup is very fatal when once fully started in a flock of little, •Unteathered chickens. There is but little to indica/to its presene?., only a little swelilkg and discoloration of the beak about the nostrils, sleepy- looklng watery eyes, drooping head ’Wings and—death, before tho dread dfseasebas half run its regular course. We must protect our little chickens from the wet until they are fully •feathered. Just as Iqtic* ao any pari of their bodies is covered with down instead of feathers, just so long must they be kept absolutely dry. They should not be given their liberty wijtil tj}e graoc is perfectly dr3’.

What could better illustrate Mismanagement in the poultry-yard ? It is a gosd plan to have places of ref uge la 'fcpjp -e; sudden and heavy ethowers, scattered about. A strong -built «pen coop, or a few feet of shed -here and there, is often serviceable. ‘Any place for the old hen and brood to flee to in order to escape the wet.— Southern Cultivator. T ie New Orleans Picayune. Sometimes a nervous or feverish patient will find it impossible to eet sleep, and may be counting the time until morning, or, in the afternoon, until twilight. If the nurse or atten dant at this stage of restlessness will simply' leave the room for a few min utes only, giving for a reason that she is goinj; for ice, or to see what time it is, or afiy'errand that will take but « few minnteft,' and will prolong her stay by five minutes more, she will frequently find that the change ot presence has made just the break in the mouotony, and that the sufferer has fallen to sleep. She must not dis appear without giving a reason, foi then the patient will be anxiously straining his eye to the door and watching with some excitement for it t* re-open. There must be a suffi cient reason given fora few minutes’ absence, so that there will be no par ticular concern about it. Always re turn to the sick room in the softest manner imaginable, and do not ap proach the bed with the Ice or what ever else you hava fought, for this will frequently disturb the new fallen sleep. On the contrary, annihilate yourself, so far as sound goes, for the time being; but do not go out ol •<ight, if the sufferer should suddenh open his eyes. Often lie' will close them again if you do not speak. Still, do not look at the sleeping person ; if you gaze steadily at him il may break up the tranquil rest into which he has gradually lallcn while expecting y-ou to return, and not “worrying” about it. Remember that a change of pres ence—not of persons-in c, sick room is some times as necessary as a change of clothes, and most refresh ing, because bringing sleep so unex pectedly to the wearied nerves. jiiow to Clcau Pan t. Notes on Strawberries. Strawberries arc very easily’ grown and if attention is given to a few shn- conditions.t.ie crop is one of the most certain and profitable of small fruits. Almost any’ soil will produce them if properly prepared and enriched. The ground imisi be free from the shade bf trees. FhAv or spado deeply and and thoroughly pulvcrizo the soil. If vegetable matter is'already abun dant in the soil the best manure to •apply is common wood ashes and acid phosphate applied saparately at the rate of five hundred to one thousand pounds of ashes and four hundred to eight hundred pounds of acid phos phate per acre If ashes are not to be had use half as murfli kainit instead thereof. manure is excellent, £*i;ee:ai;y on soils that are deficient in vegcntable matter, and should be worked into the soil with a fork or pronged hoe. The acid phosphate and ashes should be applied, one-half .tin the surface after spading, and •worked in, raid th') remainder in the rows vpr plants. T o? a garden bed tin- rows should be cvo*feet wide and the * t. plants sixteen inches apart. On a lar ger scale, or field culture, the rows should be three feet wide and the tiTants eighteen inches In the row. The best time to set a bed is in Sep tember, but ary time will do until [April. 1 ''•Vhep r.et in the spring very RiW borriea will be produced that 'season!-V Plants : should be strong, vigorous,from runners of the previous season, and should be set with care, epreading out the roots and not doub ling them back, t/bno deeper than they originally.grew.

The cabin of our steamboat, painted a clear white, now looks as if the painter had just left it, being not only- clear, but having a beautiful polish . People generally’ who see it think il has just been painted up for the sea son, while it has only’ been washed and rubbed up by the crew between meal times. To start witli.it was dirty, black almost, covered with smoke and soot, so that the nail heads stood out prominently. “'All that is necessa ry to accomplish tho transformation is a little water, a sponge and pure castile soap, and a smb'ot <i cloth for rubbing after the dirt has been wash ed off with the sponge. This rubbing restores the polish. iSo many people paint every year, whereas if the paint is washed in this way it will show clear and with a high polish for four or five years.—Steamboat Steward in Globe Democrat.

The tonic efleet of bathing is caused by the contraction of the surface blood vessels which drives the h|ood hack to the larger blood vessels and the heart. These react and send the blood rushing hack to the skin, causing tin- glow which follows the bath, or ought to follow it, the free respiration, and the vigorous feeling of the muscular system. The bath should always he followed by friction with the hand, a brush or a towel. The frequency with whicli it should be taken depends en tirely upon circumstances, it should he often enough to keep the pores open and the skin clean ; for the skin does one-third of the breathing, and if itis clogged the lungs m ist do the work,and they will be over burdened. As a rule the more rapidiy a bath is taken the better will he its effects. Daw For the Million. A note dated on Sunday is void. A note obtnined by fraud or from one intoxicated cannot b? collected.

There are two classes of facts, es pecially, which are dreadful stumbling blocks to the pro’sflionist statistician The superiorty of English to Conti nental wages, and the rise of wages in England during the free trade era. As to the latter point, we have fortu nately very high authority for deter mining it. On the opening of the fiftieth session of the .Statistical .So ciety of London, in I SSL, its presi dent, the eminent statistician, Mr. Gillen, chose for the subject of his inaugural address, “The Progress of the Working Classes in the Last Hall Century.” The table which he there presents, though itself showing in a striking way wha> opportunities such tables offer for intentiounj perversion, exhibits unmistabably an enormous rise in the wages for British labor. The least increase shown by any oc cupation in the fifty years is 20 per cent., in nearly every case the in crease is more than oO per cent., and in one case, that of the Bradford wea vers, it exceeds 110 percent, From i table showing so great a diversity in the difl'erentoccupations, it is difficult to draw ail accurate nu merical conclusion; what is plain is that the working men of England have made an enormous advance in the rate of wages. Nor is this all At the same time that Ins wages has been increased, the Englishman’s hours of labor have been diminished, the nine hour day heiljg now almost’ universal in England. Mr. Giffen estimates the average reduction of hours at 20 per cent. A French econ omist, M. Emile Chevalliar, in his work on “Wages in tho Nineteenth Century, (Baris 1887,) to which was awarded the prize of the Academic des Sciences Morales et Poiitiques, .sums up the matter in this way (p. 100:) “The English workingman has obtained in fifty years an in crease of from 50 to 100 per cent, in his money wages, and a diminution of 20 per cent, in the duration of his daily work; he has, therefore, made an advance in round numbers of from 70 to 120 per cent..”—The Xathm [Respectfully referred to the Au gusta Chronicle.—Ed.

A Congressman, being a party* man, and depcna.ng upon party- delegates and party machinery to hoist him into prominence and power, cannot always ignore his constituency He is elected as their representative, and when he r.ot.t outside of their wish es he ceases to represent his constitu ency and ignores their will.
