From the American Agrieulturiss
Gapes in Chickens.

For couple of years after commencing
the raising of poultry, was subjected to
the loss of a large number of young chick
ems, and almost the whole of them by gapes
I inquired of an old lady. who has had great
success In the chicken line, if she could tell
what made the gapes. The reply was, lousy
hens, and the cure or ! should say preven-
tive, simply to grease the hens under the
wings thoroughly, and around the neck as
soon as she came off the nest.
Well, tried it, and the result has been,
the more did not grease the hens the more
chickens died, and vice versa. The whole
matter, In my experience, Is perfectly sim
pie, and SO far as practiced with my chick
ems, has been successful When a hen
comes off her nest with brood, she is well
creased, and from time to time, while con-
fined to the coop, the operation IS repeated,
with occasional changes IN the position OF
the coops- Should any of your readers try
the experiment without favorable result; /
should be glad to know it. DoRkIse.

Dean Swift and his Tailor.

A tailor in Dublin near the residence of
the Dean, took it into the 'fninth part' of
his head that he was specially and divinely
inspired to interpret the prophecies, and es-
pecially the book of Revelations. Quitting
the shop-board, he turned out preacher,
or rather a prophet, until his customers
had left his shop, and his family were like
ly to famish. His monomania was well
known to the Dean, who benevolently
watched for an opportunity to turn the cur
rent of his thoughts.
One night the tailor, as he fancied, got an
especial revelation to go and convert Dean
Swift, and next morning took up the line
of march to the deanery. The Dean, whose
study was furnished with glass door, saw
the tailor approach, and instantly surmised
the nature cf his errand. Throwing him
self into an attitude of solemnity and
thoughtfulness, with the Bible opened be-
fore him, and his eyes fixed on the 10th
chapter of Revelations, he awaited his ap-
proach. The door opened, and the tailor
announced, in an unearthly voice
t'Dean Swift, l am sent by the Almighty
to announce to you
'sCome in my friend" said the Dean, s'I
am in great trouble, and no doubt the Lord
has sent you to help me out of my Difficult
ty."
This unexpected welcome inspired. the
tailor, and strengthened his assurance in
his own prophetic character, and disposed
him to listen to the disclosure.
''My friend" said the Dean, al have
just been reading the 10th chapter of Reve-
lations, and am greatly distressed at diff
Guilty have met with, and you are the very
man sent to help me out. Here is an ac-
count of an angel that came down from
heaven, who was so large that he placed
one foot on the earth and lifted his hands
to heaven. Now my knowledge of mathe-
matics,' continued the Dean, ''has enabled
me to calculate exactly the size and form of
this angel; but l am in great difficulty, for
wish to ascertain how much cloth it will
take to make him pair of breeches; and
as that is exactly in yeur line of !. business,
l have no doubt the Lord has sent you to
show me-
This exposition came like an electric
shock to the poor tailori He rushed from
the house, ran to his shop, and sudden re-
vulsion of thought and feeling came over
him. Making breeehes was exactly in his
line of business. He returned to his occu-
patton thoroughly cured of prophetical rev
elation by the wit of the Dean.
