Why DO ANIMALS MIN SALT Prof
james T.. Johnson of Scotland, says that
half the saline matter Of the blood Ga per
cent consists Of common salt. and this is
partly Dissolved every day through the
skin and Kidneys; the necessity Of con,in-
ued supplies of it to the healthy body is
sufficiently obvious. The bile also con-
,ains soda Cone Of tho ingredients Of sal,)
as u special and Indispensable constituent
and so do all the cariilages Of the body
Stint the supply Of salt, and neither will
the bile be able properly to assist digestion
nor the cartilages to be built up again as
fast as the naturally waste. II is better
to place salt where stock can have free ac-
cess to it than to give it occasionally in
small quantities. They will help them
selves to what they need. If allowed to do
so ut pleasure, otherwise when they be-
come sal,-hungry, they may take more
than is wholesome.

TABLE Conversation.

A great deal of character is impaired
and received at the table Parents too
often forget this aud therefore. instead of
swallowing your food in sullen silence.
instead Of broodng over your business,
insicnd of scverly talking nhont others,
let the conversation Mt the table be genial
kind. saoial and cheering Don't bring
disagroeahlc things to the table in your
conversation. any mare than you would in
your dishes. For this reason, TOO. the
more good company you have at your
table. the better for yonr children. Every
conversation with company at your table
is an educator of the family. Hence the
intelligence, and refinement, and the ap-
propria,c behavior of family which is
given to hospitality Never feel that in
tclliccnt visitors can be anything but a
blessing to you and yours. How few
have fully gotten hold Of the fact that com.
pany aud conversation are no small part
