Sulphur to Kill Vermin In Nests.

1t is well to know that the powdered
sulpher of the druggists is the cheapest,
handiest, and best thing yet discovered
for killing parasites that infest sitting
hens, and find their way to fresh pastures
upon the chickens as soon as the latter
are Matched. Many times people COM
plain that when their chickens are a week
or two old they droop and die from the at
tacks of large lice, which literally cover
the heads of the birds. If examination is
made earlier, it will be found that the in
sects have taken up their abode upon the
chickens head while still in the nest, for
they forsake the hen, prefering the chick
ems. 1t is bad business to have to eaten
the chickens and hen for treatment after
they have left the nest, when the remedy
can be applied with so little trouble be-
fore Matching begins. A week or so after
the hen has been given her clutch of
eggs, sprinkle them and the whole of the
nest and the straw for little distance
around it with the sulphur when the hen
is off. The night following attend to the
hen herself by lantern light. Disturb her
Just enough to make her bristle her
feathers, and then dust sulphur well down
to their roots Go over her whole body
thoroughly, excepting the parts in con-
tact with the nest, and lift each wing and
scatter a PINCH and attend to head, neck,
and tail. 1t will not injure the hen in the
least, nor the chickens when they are
Matched. We repeat the operation at the
interval of week Though, perhaps, one
application is sutficient) and have never
found the slightest trace upon hen or
chicks after. Use two small handfuls. 1t
costs little either in money or trouble.
Tobacco, snuff, grease, carbolic powder,
etc, are not to be compared with sulphur
for this particular purpose, and the best
dust-bath privileges for the hen are not to
be relied upon characterization Agricnl-

Farm Life--.A School of Manhood.

THE whole tendency of farm life is to
develop the body healthy and systemat-
icaly. The child is not pent up in the
narrow backyard of a city dwelling, nor
turned into the thronged and filthy street
to pursue his sports. His eyes open first
upon green fields and fragrant meadows,
and his first football out of doors is upon
the matted grass beneath the shadowy
trees of his rural home. He drinks in
health from every breeze, and all the
scenes around him call forth that play
fulness which performs SO important an
office ia our early training.
And this leads us to speak of the influ-
ence of farm life upon home virtues. No
occupation can be more favorable to the
cultivation of those qualities which arc
the charm of the domestic circle. The
farmer is much more at home than is pos
sible with any other men. How many
there are in our cities who only see their
families at evening or on a Sabbath.
! from its location, takes them from home
early and late. How many from this
same cause fOrsake housekeeping and
huddle into boarding houses and hotels,
where the charm and beauty of the family
as God constituted it are entirely lost, and
children fall under a thousand influences
that would never reach them at homei
With the best arrangements wealth can
command in the city, it is well nigh i'm
possible to keep children under the influ-
ence of their parents, so that they shall
have a distinct family character and bear
the moral as they do the physical image
of their prOgenltOrS.
Parental influence is dissipated amid
the varied social influences to which they
are subjected from their earliest days.
Then what perpleXitics harrass the man
L.. cal
invested in pretitless enterprise, exposed
to the depredatiOns of dishonest men, be-
trayed, cheated and ruined by knaves and
bankrupts From the very character of
his business, he has to trust far more of
his available means to the integrity of his
fellows than the cultivator. His debts
are often scattered over n wide extent of
territory, and collections are not only cX-
pensive, but exceedingly uncertain. But
his commercial credit depends upon this
uncertainty, and he is often compelled to
fall back upon nothing, Il ruined man.
Ninety five failures in a hundred among
most business men i'll the city tell IA sad
tale of the perpleXity and sorrow, the cor
roding cares and anguish of mercantile
life. How can father goaded with
these anXietics from the beginning to the
end of the year do justice with his chill
drcn, even if his business allows him to he
with them a part of the time? He is not

How They Fell in Love.

THEY had grown up together, in the full
sense of the term, and that was the matter.
They had eaten each others mud pies,
taken the Group in eachother's snow forts,
cried out the sums on each others states,
tipped over each others ink-bottles, sop
ped up the ink with their mutual handker-
chiefs, told" of each other in about equal
proportions, and "made up in a common
eXubcrance of sobs and sassafras. They
had played at lovers behind the wood pile,
been married by the prize speaker, been
divorced by the first base, been reunit-
ed by the minister's daughter, and gone
to housekeeping in the peat swamp at
regular intervals, as far back as their
memory extended. She had blue eyes,
and never understood vulgar fractions
He used to miss, SO that she might get to
the head of the class. One day she
braided her hair in two little braids be
hind, and tied it with pink lutestring
ribbon at three cents ayard. When they
walked home together, he touched it
gently, to signify his appreciation, and
She blushed like IA May flower. 1t could
not have been long after that before she
grew shy at singing-school, and was apt
to be going home with her brother. In
another year, when he went to st. David's
College, she cried herself to sleep, forgot
to crimp her hair, and said nothing was
the matter. 50, of course, when he came
home on his first vacation, it all happened
as il could not very well help happening
to the end of all young things dreaming
or old ones warning. She sat in the choir
in blue dress with white spots, with IA
pink bonnet and pink cheeks, and sang
in very sweet little country voice, that

About Building.

THE most economical manner of erect
ing dwelling-houses or outbuildings is to
plan in such manner that the desired
apartments will be all beneath one roof,
rather than under several separate roofs.
The expense incident to covering lean
to one story in height is just as much per
square foot as though the structure were
four stories high. An addition or an
extension is frequently erected in the rear
of the upright part of dwelling, the
plates of which are about even with the
garnet floor. The expense for cOrnice and
for roofing would be no larger If the out
side walls of the dwelling had been car
ried up to a sufficient height for another
story. Builders do not always consider,
when making a separate roof to cover
almost every apartment, that the expense
is comparatively much larger than if the
dwelling had been planned so as to have
a twO-stOry or three-story structure all
beneath one roof. One serious objection
to the practice of building wing to an
upright part, an extension to the wing, an
addition to the extension, a lean-to to the
addition, and a shed against the lean-tO,
is the difficulty and great expense of max
ing the roof rain tight where it is united
to the side of the adjoining structure. A
single extension in rear of the upright
part of dwelling, when carried up to the
proper height, is not Objectionable as to
external appearance, or economy in the
materials for the frame. When the joists
are required to be over sixteen or eigh-
teen feet in length, the expense is liable
to be augmented; and when building is
over twenty or twenty-four feet in width,
the architect experiences greater difficult
ties in constructing the roof than if the
structure were not more than sixteen feet
in width. When one is erecting IA barn,
the more economical plan is to employ
posts twenty to thirty feet high, rather
than to build several small and isolated
structures having posts only twelve feet
in length-Industrsat Monthly.

CRIMINAL SECRECY.-The martinets of
meath the dignity of a regular physician
to advertise. If a member of the faculty
should discover an absolute remedy for
any disease, il would be breach of pro-
fessional decorum to offer the specific for
sale through the journals of the day
Scoring such prciudices, one of our lead
ing practitioners is now making known
to the public, through the columns of over
three thousand newspapers, one of the
most comprehensive remedies for disease
that has ever assuaged the sutlcrings of
humanity. DIR. WALKER's CAIIFoRNIA

ly II new medicine, has already attracted
the attention of millions in both hcmi-
spheres. 1t has been advertised through
all the channels accessible to advertising
enterprise, and the result has been the
preservation of thousands of lives, and
the prevention of an untold amount of
physical torture. Dr. Walker thinks that
the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der is the true object of medical science,
and hence he steps boldly ont of the con
tractcd circle of professional exclusive

within the reach of all. Its beneficial eff
