Hard and Soft Water.

In discussing the large death
rate in Boston correspondent of
the Herald of that city throws
out this suggestion: Other cities
which appear in worse condition
as regards cleanliness are much
healthier. | think two causes are
operating in Boston which are
mainly responsible for this high
mortality. First and Chi, fly, we
drink too pure a water-one that
does not supply enough mineral
matter to form bone. The re-
port of the surgeon general Of the
United States showed that men
from Massachusetts,, removing to
Iowa, a hard water district, from
a soft water, grew nearly an inch
in stature, after they had reached
their growth here. The French
army reports show much larger
proportion of conscriptS rejected
from soft than from hard water
departments, and the researches
OF French sanitarians that the
death rate is higher where soft
water prevails.

Delicate People.

There is constant sympathy eX.
pressed by robust people for those
Of slight physical constitution
We think the sympathy ought to
turn in the opposite direction
1t is the delicate people who es-
cape the most fearful disorders
These gigantic structures are al
most always reckless CT health
They say nothing hurts me, and
so they stand in draughts, and go
out into the night air to cool of,
and eat crabs at midnight and
dof their aannels in April, and
get their feet wet.
But delicate people are shy of
peril. They know that disease
has been fishing for them for
twenty years and they keep away
from the hook. No trout can be
caught if he sees the shadow of the
sportsman on the brook. Those
people whom every body expects
to die, live on most tenaciopsly.
We know of a young lady who
evidently married a wealthy man
OF s. years on the ground that he
was very delicate. But the aged
individual is so careful of bis
health, and the young wife is so
careless of hers, that it is now un-
certain whether she will inherit
his store houses or he inherit her
wedding riggs.
Health and longevity depends
more upon careful and intelligent
management of ones self then up
on original ply steal outfit. Paul's
advice to the Sheriff is appropri.
ate to people in all occupations:
do thyselt no harm"

Night Dresses for Chill
dren.

A mother writing in the House
hold says that she made her liz,
tie ones night dresses of cotton
flannel, with legs to them, so
that if be got uncovered be should
not take cold. Observing that he
lost flesh and grew cold towards
morning, she called in a physi-
clan. She continues:
"He said that cotton flannel,
was not the material for children,
for when it gets wet ii clings to
them and is as cold as ice. He al,
SO denounced the idea of making
legs to the dresses; said that the
limbs sh9ul not be separated,
but should come together. His
directions were to make a night
dress of flannel long enough 10
lay OF the floor half a yard, just
Ike a big bag; run a string in tie
bottom Of, this, and when the
child goes to bed tie it up. In
this way the legs cannot get oct,
and there is perfect freedom of
motion. We did SO at once, and
it worked like a charm. No
more lying awake nights and won
dering what the trouble is. The
little fellow sleeps soundly, and.
wakes in the morning refreshed
and with a good appetite"

UnsheIled Corn.

Corn loses one.flth by drying,
aud wheat ne.fourteeuth. From
this the estimate is made that it
is more profitable for the farmer
t, sell unShelled corn in the fall
at seventy five cents than at a
dollar a bushel in the following
summer and that wheat at 81, 25
in December, is equal to so in
the succeeding June. In case OF
potatoes-taking those that rot
and are otherwise loSt-together
with the Shrinkage, there is little
doubt that between October and
June the loss to the owner Who
holds them is not less than thirty
three per cent.

Egg Eating Hens-A Cure.

Having seen the question asked
how to cure hens from eating
eggs, and having been put to my
wits end to devise some means to
stop them, l finally, by accident,
hit upon a plan that | have never
known to fail. Que great trouble
with many breederSis, they make
their hens nests too large, and
with Bfamahs and .Cochins the
nests are near the ground, and in
many cases the eggs are in view
of the hen. This was the case
with my nests. Having tried ev-
cry available stuff, such as pep
per, mustard, tur entine, and ev-
cry thing | could hear of, but no
cure; | then took a common nail
keg, cut in two, or piece about
eight inches high, and placed it
in the box where the hens laid.
l then put in an egg; the old
hen then mounted the nest or
key and tried to reach the egg,
standing on the edge Of the
key, but it was no go; she then
got down in the keg, but that
was failure, for she did not
have room to get at the egg; af-
ter trying for some time she
gave it up as a bad job. | have
never had an egg eaten by the
hens since then; all Of my nests
in the coop have a piece Of key
in the box, and have parts Of
kegs for nests. Do not make
them too deep, but deep enough,
so that the hen cannot reach the
bottom when standing on the
edge Of the key. You that are
troubled with hens eating their
eggs, try the plan; it costs but
little, and ! think you will new
er regret the trouble it Will be
to odtwit the old hen. - Praj-
RE Farmer.

When to Cut Timber.

A correspondent of the New
Jersey Herald, says: If oak, hick-
DRY, or chestnut timber is feiled
n the eighth month, August, in
he second running of the sap and
barked, quite a large tree will
season perfectly, and even the
.twig will remain sound for 4 year;
whereas that cut in winter, and
remaining until next fall Gas thick
as your wrist, will be almost un-
fit for any purpose The body of
the oak split into rails will not
last more than ten or twelve
Years. Chestnut will last longer,
but no comparison to that cut in
the eighth month. Hickory cut
in the eighth month is not sub
ject to be worm eaten, and will
last a long time for fencing.
