A Byway to Health.

Let it be remembered that the best
cookery of the best viands in the world
is comparatively thrown away, in its
health-giving and nourishing qualities,
if the food be swallowed hastily, and in
Jumps. From the @sthetical side of the
question, too, grave mistake is this
haste and imperfect mastication. If to
eat be a necessity, and if the satisfac
ton of this necessity be pleasant, as
nature intends it to be; If a sensitive
palate be given to enhance our pleasure,
and to enable US to enjoy the goods the
gods provide, why, in the name of all
that is rational, should there be any
thing grosser in enjoying the fine flavor
of the well-cooked dish than enjoying
the scent of a full-blown rose, particu-
larly when the former in some shape is
a necessity, while the latter is only
luxury. Therefore, philosophically it
is grave error and an ungrateful deed
to swallow well-cooked, palatable food
at such pace as prevents your getting
the full amount of pleasure out of the
act of eating, and which renders you in
different to your cooks skill. There are
some supremely virtuous beings, who
condemn epicurism as something horri-
BILE, and as likely to lead to murder,
petty larceny, and other Objectionable
crimes; but, good souls, they often con-
found refinement, and discrimination in
feeding, with gluttony, and, in their de-
sire to avoid this, and set high exam
pie of indifference to the flesh, adopt
scornful disregard of what and how
they eat and drink; and, pretending to
be above such mundane considerations,
bring themselves to chronic state of i'll
health, from which it takes years of
strict regimen to recover. No; you
must inger over the taste of your food
as you linger over the smell OF flower;
nature demands of you this concession
to health, and there can be nothing
more sinful than indulging the sense Of
taste than the sense of smell. Having
swallowed your dinner in Jumps, the
usual custom is to endeavor to counter
act the discomfort produced, by wash
ing it down and rendering it soluble by
huge draughts of fluid. This is merely
adding insult to the injury you have
done your stomach, and is resented &C.
cordingly. Copious draughts are just
as injurious as large, quickly-devoured
mouthfuls; and drink should be taken
as slowly and cautiously as food. Thirst
is really more effectually and thor
oughly assuaged by swallowing slowly
a moderate quantity, than by taking a
large one at gulp, and little thus
goes further than much. The best
check upon immoderate draughts, is
never to drink out of too large tum-
bier. Taking it in moderation, the fluid
assists in dissolving the solids, instead
of setting them floating, and sluicing
them all before it, as is inevitably the
case when a so-called hearty draught is
taken.-7Snsleys Magazine.

INFA11m1E PREVENTIVE FOR GApEs.-

INFALLBLE PREvENTTvEFoR GAPEs.-
When the hen has finished Matching
saturate her well under the wings with
strong suds made of carbolic soap. This
should be repeated until the chicks Or
turkeys are too old to have the gapes.
The smell of the carboic prevents the
formation of the worm in the windpipe,
and at the same time both prevents and
destroys lice. In the coops strew dry,
strong wood ashes. A teaspoonful of
ground black pepper, mixed with the
food about twice a week will be found
very beneficial, both as a stimulant to
the chickens and preventive of gape-
worms.-Cor. Practical Farmer.

A USEFUL PAsroR.-Father Terul-
lian, of fredericksburg, is the priest for
a new county. The watch of Calves
tonian having stopped, the hotel keeper
said the good father was the only man
in the place who could start it again.
Taking some little people along, the
Galveston man went to see the padre.
The case of the watch was too much for
the good man, but he amused both his
adult and young visitors with the vari-
ETY. of his accomplishments. He is a
good painter, glass blower, skillful in
working metals, has variety Of life
like images of his own manufacture,
showing high degree Of art; is bird
fancier, keeps pet monkey, and is the
wonder of the place for his mechanical,
artistic and scientific knowledge and
pursuits, as well as for piety and devo-
ton to the religious, mental and moral
training of his flock. His abode is rep
resented as curiosity shop of the most
interesting kind.-GaIreston Nstos.

When and How to Salt Mich Cows.

would say, that until five or six
years ago, I had the old fashioned
idea that to throw COWS handful of
salt once q week along a path in the
pasture was all they required. About
that time my attention was called to
the fact that for oncea week for couple
of days after sailing there was an in
crease in the quantity of milk. Acting
on this suggestion I tried sailing twice
q week and found q decided improve
ment. Then I thought if twice week
was good, perhaps every other day would
be better. Here, again, my attention
was called to the fact that on the days
they were salted they gave more milk
than other days. Imilked some eight
or ten, so that I noted these things
more closely than I otherwise would.
I therefore concluded to try it every
day, and liked the result, and noticed
when they missed their salt there would
be decrease in the milk. When salted
every day a very small amount will
do, say teaspoonful just before they
are turned out of the stable in the
morning. I tried sailing in the evening
in the stable, but found that it had a
tendency to shrink the flow of the milk;
so after several trials gave that up. In
trying the above experiments, it was not
for the period of few days and weeks
only, but for year or two. Another
thing, found that the corn 1 fed my
COWS, which 1 grind and re-scald to mash,
if it be salted will decrease the percent
age of cream-all other feed being Just
the same. The reason, presume, is
that the salt in this case has a tendency
to run more to fat than the product Of
milk.-Rurdt World.

PhOtographing the Baby,

They came at 10 A. M.-the baby. his
grandmother, his papa and mamma. and
two aunties. They wanted to have his
picture taken. The obliging artist got
everything in readiness, brought out
the little velvet-lined high chair, in
which babies ara usually photographed,
and then the trouble began. The babys
papa wanted to take off its sack because
1t had such a pretty fat arm, but its
mamma was afraid that it might take
cold. Then one auntie thought it would
be SO sweet to take off his little stock
ings and sit him in big armchair, but
his other auntie thought that such a
performance would be very immodest.
indeed, and a conflict seemed eminent,
Finally it was agreed that they should
take the artists advice. and strap hin
up IN the h1gh-chair. Alter much ring
ing OF bells, the baby was induced BE-
look with favor on the new state of af-
fairs. The artist prepared to take th,
negative, but just at the critical mo-
ment the infant doubled himself across
the strap and screamed Justify. His
papa lingled the bells anew, the artist
set the music-box going. while the ma
ma drew him out of his chair. and his
auntle called him a putty utzv title
sing"
Peace being restored. another mega
tive was taken, this time with tolerable
success. But one auntie did not like
the expression of the face, and the ma
ma thought it did not do Justice to his
eyes. The next time he stuck both fists
into his mouth and shut one eve; and
the next time, his grandma, who had
been watching him intently, ran hastily
forward and began shaking him and
slapping him on the back.
1t was II o'clock, and the thermome-
ter stood at $50 in the shade, and that
artist ground his teeth and looked to
see how far it was from the window to
the sidewalk. Three or four more un-
satisfactory attempts were made, and
at last the baby, who had been taken
out of the chair so many times and was
not properly secured, slipped down on
the floor with thump. A grand hub
bub followed; everybody screamed; the
tlmid auntie tainted and the papa
swore, while the trembling artist, fear
ing for his life, secreted himself be-
hind q screen in the corner, where he.
waited until he was sure that no bones
were broken, and then he came forth,
saying that he had been suddenly called
down stairs to see man.
He was so much relieved on being
told that they would not try again that
day that he forgot to live up to his rules
and demand pay when the negative is
taken. As they started down the stairs
the head of the family informed him
that they would call again in a few
days, and he has hired small boy to
sit at the foot of the steps and bring
him word at their approach, so that he
may have time to lock the door and
hang out notice-"Gone to the Cen
tennial. ."-Omaha Republican.

WHY are farmers SO liable to rheuma-

WHY are farmers so liable to rheuma-
tism? Because they wear wet clothing,
heat, and suddenly chill the body, over
eat after very hard work, and because
they do not keep the skin in vigorous,
clean and healthy condition. If farm
ers would avoid suddenly cooling the
body after hard exercise, if they would
be careful not to go with wet clothing
and wet feet, and if they would not
over-eat, when in an exhausted condi-
ton, and bathe daily, using much fric-
ton, they would have less rheumatism.
The same rule applies to others than
farmers. The Turkish bath is the best
remedy for rheumatism.-Science of
Health.

TREATMENT OF LUNATIcs BY CoLoRED
LIGHT.-Medical journals give an ac-
count of experiments recently made by
DR.. Ponza, Director Of the Lunatic Asy-
lum at Alessandria, Piedmont, to deter
mine the influence of the solar rays on
brain diseases. DIR. Ponza, having COM
municated his views to Father Secehi,
was encouraged to study the subject.
In his letter to DIR. Ponza, the Roman
astronomer expressed the opinion that
the violet rays are of special Importance.
Violet" he writes, " has something
melancholy and Oppressive about it;
perhaps violet light may calm the ner-
vous excitement of maniacs." He then
advises DIR. Ponza to perform his ex-
periments in rooms with stained glass
windows, and with the walls painted of
the same color as the glass panes. One
patient, who had been affected with
morbid taciturnity, became gay and af-
fable after spending three hours in a
red chamber; another, a maniac who re-
fused all food, asked for breakfast after
having staid twenty-four hours in the
same red chamber. In blue chamber
highly excited madman became calm
in one hour. A patient was made to
pass the night in the violet chamber.
On the following day he felt himself
cured, and has been very well ever
since. ...- -.

THE following is said to be a Texan
practice for training sheep dogs: A pup
is taken from its mother before its ewes
are opened, and put to eve to suckle.
After a few times, the eve becomes
reconciled to the pup, which follows
her like a lamb, grows up among, and
remains with the flock, and no wolf,
man or strange dog can come near the
sheep; and the dog will bring the flock
to the fold regularly at half past seven
o'clock, if he is habitually fed at that
hour.

SUN-DRYNG HAY.-M. NJ. Frisselle,
in the Country Gentleman, writes:
''There are only two conditions neces-
sary IN order that all the hay made may
be as sweet, nutritious and attractive as
the aftermath; namely, that it be cut
before it blossoms, and cured with as
little direct sunlight as possible. The
continental farmers have set us a good
example in this matter of hay-making,
by which we should be wise enough to
profit. They make their meadows rich,
and then NOW them two or three times
during the season, cutting the grass be-
fore it forms seed, and curing with as
little sunlight as will answer the pur-
pose"
