A gentleman, on visit to Washing
ton, one day very coolly opened the door
OF the Senate Chamber, and was about
to walk in, when the door keeper asked /:
"Are you privileged member ?"-
"What do you mean by chat ?" asked the
stranger. The reply was "a Governor
ex-member of Congress, or a Foreign
Minister" II am a Minister" "From
what court or country ?" asked the offi-
cial. Very gravely poiting up,the stran-
ger replied: "Fronl Heaven, sir" To
this the door-keeper waggishly respond

holds no intercourse with that foreign
power"

Many dangerous fever has been caus
ed by the foul air from dark, damp and
unventilated cellars. Confined air, with.
out the purifying influence of sunlight
soon becomes impure and unwholesome
Most cellars serve as a reservoir for this
impure air, which, in addition, is loaded
with decomposing organic matters and
foul gases, given OFF from the masses Of
decaying vegetables with which they are
stored. Cellars should be kept as clean,
pure, and well ventilated as any portion

Food for sheer.

Sheep require about three per cent of
their live weight of hay or its equivalent
per day. That is about three pounds for
q sheep weighing in the neighborhood OF
one hundred pounds. But it is not good
economy to con6ne them to hay alone.
They do better on variety of food land
roots of some kind may be regarded as
essential to their thrift. If regularly
supplied with turnips. or other roots,
they will readily consume the stalks and
straw, and do well on them, while with
out roots they require good hay.
