Of course, the price can be brought up stil higher by fancy carving and decoration.

All chickens want for health, growth and good conditions is plain, nutritius food. Even when the fowis have an unlim -ited range it is a good plan to feed them every evening. One of the first things to learn al-out poultry is that they must be kept clean and free from vermin. Peafowls ate handsome and subsist with the least care of any kind of fowls. They are prolific layers ar.d a good protection against hawks. Raw bone contains every part o? an egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore it should be -kept constantly before lay ing hens in the granulated form. One of the best ways of removing lice from fowis is to make them do it them selves by having a lot of dry earth where they can dust themselves when ever they feel like it. The comb is always an index to the condition of the bird. When the comb is white or very pale or very black, something is wrong. A healthy fowl shows a bright scarlet color in the comb. Slave to a Pillow. There is in this city a young man who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot square and only four inches thi ek, a pillow that resembles a pancake. He has usted it ever since he was a baby. When, at the age of twelve, he entered St. Paul's school, he took it all the way to New Hampshire with him, and when he entered Harvard he took~ it to Cabrdge also. Starting on his wed ding journey, he carried It in his suit case. When he went abroad, tl'e pil low went along. And now, when he is twenty-ive, he is more attached to the tiny thing than ever and will take it on the briefest trips-on trips of a day, say, to New York or on trips over night to the country houses of his friends. He says that he has not ouce sl-3pt on anything but this pillow since he was seven years old.-Philadelphia E.ccord. Sadeiss Explaineal. In Liverpool recently a sentimental young lady was oa the Cunard steam ship quay when she saw d young girl sitting on a trunk in an attitude of ut ter dejection and despair. "Poor thing!" thought the romantic lady. "She is probably alone and a str:mger. Her pale cheeks and great, sad eyeca tell of a broken heart and a yeanng tor-'nmaithy." So shie wvent over to the traveler to win he:: confi dece. "Cossed in love'?" she asked sympa thetically.. -"No," replied the girl, with a sigh, "crossed in the Servia, and an awfully rough passage too."-Tit-Bits. The Subjectioni of 31t "No, I never have -a bit of trouble with my husband." remarked the frail little woman with the intelligent face. "In fact, I have him right trnder my thumb." "You don't look very strong," doubt fully commented the engaged girl. "You mistake me. my dear. "E a menta, not a physical, subjectxon." - "Would you mind telling me how" " Not a bit. Always glad to 3elp any one steer clear of the rocks. First of all, you must knowv that a ma-a in love is the biggest sort of a fool and says things that make him almost wild when he hears them in after life. I realizeil It, and from the very beginnitng of our courtship I kept a phonograph in the room, and every speech he nade was duly recorded. Now, whenever' my hus band gets a little bit obstreperous I just turn out a record or so. Heavens, how he does rave! Dut he can't deny it. They always will, though, if you don't have proof positive." "Thank you,"' gratefully nurmiured the engaged girl. "~I'll get a phlono graph this very day." Carried Fur'ther. Not long ago a lady was giving a lec ture. 11er subject was the human fig ure and the requiremnents in t:de way of proportion for beauty. She herself was of generous-One amy say unwieldy size, and her manner was st percilious and lofty. She was trying :o demon strate the relative sizes of the limbs as they really ought to be. "For example." said she, "twice round my thumnb"-she held it up "once round my wrist; twice round my wrist, once round my neck; twice round my neck, once round my waist." Here she oaused, and a shrill voice ron the audience exclaimed: "Twice round your waist, once around Hyde park!' The lecturer hastily passed on to an other branch of the subject.-London Answers.

TIACHER MEDICINE COMPM WORD PICTURES. Everyday Expressions That Have the Sup port of the Bible. There a miany pictorial ex p-essions in constant and every day use, and familiar as house hold words. having their origin in passages to be found in the matchless English of the grand old "King James' version" of the Bible. One who did not know might hesitate to believe that they are supported by such high authority, and our modern over-sensitive taste might be tempted even to designate them as slang, but they are really word pictures. Nearly one-half of those here quoted, with reference to chap ter and verse, it will be noticed, are taken from the Psalms, but David, the sweet singer. was what we would now call a fa miliar poet: I have stuck unto my testi monies Oh, Lord, put me not to shame.-Ps. cxix., 31.

There are not a few birds that possess a knowledge of the prin ciples of surgery that is not far from supernatural. The wood cock, the partridge and some other birds are able to dress their wounds with considerable skill. A french naturalist says that on several occasions he has killed woodcock that were, when shot, convalescing from wounds previously . received. In every instance he found the old injury neatly dressed with down pluck ed from the stem of feathers and skillfully arranged over the wound evidently by the long beak of the bird. In some in stances a solid plaster was thus formed, and in others ligatures had been applied to wounded or broken limbs. One day he killed a bird that evidently had been severly wounded at some recent period. The wound was covered and pro tected by a sort of network of feathers which had been plucked by the bird from its own body and so arranged as to form a plaster completely covering and protecting the wounded surface. It had evidently acted as hemo static in the first place and sub sequently as a shield covering the wound. The feathers were fairly netted together,. passing alternately under and above each other and forming a textile fab ric of great protective power. Birds are often four.d whose limbs have been broken by shot with the fractured ends neatly joined and ligated. M. Dumon teil tells of a woodcock that had been shot by a sportsman on the afternoon of a certain day. Af ter a long search the bird was taken up, but it was discovered the next morning by an accidenat. In the meantime the wounded legs were found to be neatly ligated, and exqisitely neat ban daehvng been placed around eacn limb. The poor bird had in dressing its wound entangled its beak with some long, soft feathers, and had it rnot been discovered it would have died of starvation.-Toledo Blade.

The trouble begins with a tickling in the throat and a nagging little cough. Soreness in the chest follows and the patient wonders if he is going to have an all winter cold.

THE COOKBOOK. A cup of butter means sixteen table spoons. When we measure butter in a cup, we measi're it packed solid. One cup of sauce means one cup of liquid, regardless of the amount of thickening and butter that you use. A novel and dainty way of cooking little new onions Is to boll them and serve them on toast, similar to aspara gus. Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon until they thicken and begin to leave the sides of the pan. Add. flavoring es sences after taking the pot from the fire. After boiling a ham let it cool In the water in which it was cooked. This helps to make it more tasty, moist and tender. The same rule applies to tongue or corned beef. Sardines broiled iL a chafing dish are nice for Sunday night suppers. Use just enough of the oil in the box to cover the bottom of the dish and keep the fish from sticking. When they are browned on both sides, sprinkle liber ally with lemon juice and serve hot. A Youthful Financier. A correspondent asks, Will some of your mathematical geniuses kindly tell me if I am absolutely devoid of the calculating faculty in not being able to see through the following three cornered trick, shall I say? A beggar boy asked an old gentleman in the street for sixpence. "What will you do with it if 1 give you one?" asked the old gentleinan. "Turn It into ninepence quick," re plied the boy. "How?" "Give me the tanner, and I'll soon show you." The boy got the money, darted off to a baker's shop and bought a three penny loaf, with which he returned to the old gentleman and handed him back 3 pennies. "How's this? You said you would make the sixpence into ninepence." "So I have. The baker's got three pence, you've got threepence and I've got a threepenny loaf. That's nine pence."-Pealrson's Weekly. The Laughter of Savages. The general impression one derives from the accounts given is certainly that savage tribes are not victims of a sullen despair, but, on the contrary, have a large and abundant mirth. Their laughter and other signs of good spirits are of the most energetic kind. Darwin and a number of travelers as sure us on this point. The Tasma nians, Ling Roth tells us, accompanied their loud bursts of laughter with movements of the hands to the head and quick stapping movements of the feet The loud, deep chested character of the men's laughter is sometimes specially noted. A recent visitor to central Africa regrets that under Eu ropean influence the deep chested, hearty laughter of the men is being re placed by what is known as the "mis sion giggle" in the younger folk-In ternational Monthly. An Odd Nest. A correspondent of Cassell's Maga zinc records a curious freak on the part of some wasps In Gloucester, Eng land. The wasps were noticed going in and out of a'lock which secured a work shop door. The owner of the shop had the lock removed to satisfy his curiosi ty about the doings of the busy work ers. He found-a nest inside. The cells were made of mud and were full of larve. There were several dead wasps insde the lock. As the lock was In almost daily use the wasps could not have had a very peaceful home. The Young of the Sen Devil. You may find in the sea devil a curi ous illustration of nature's system for adjusting reproduction. The cod lays several hundred thousand eggs at a spawning because nearly all of them must necessarily be lost while floating on the waves and those which hatch are mostly devoured. But the sea devil, which produces but a single young one at a time, retains the latter in its belly until the infant creature is from four to six feet in length, so that when born it is able to take care of itself and is in no danger of being destroyed.
