* A party of ten English medical
men were dining not long ago, when
one of them inquired if all present were
limited in their practice to selection
of six pharmacopnial remedies, which
would be chosen as being the most USE
full, compound drugs to be accepted
Each of the party wrote the names Of
the six drugs he would select, and
gave them to the doctor who asked the
question. On examination of the bal
lot it was found that the majority Of
the votes were given in favor Of opium
quinine and iron; between mercury and
iodide of potassium they were equally
divided, as they were, also, between
ammonia and chloroform.

TELLING THE AGE OF SHEEP.-The
size and shape of the teeth are ordi-
narily sure criterion of the age of
sheep up to six years old. The lamb
teeth are narrow and small. At one
year old the two middle front teeth
fall out and are replaced by teeth much
wider and larger. The next year two
more wide teeth appear, and at six
years old the mouth is ''full," the
lamb teeth having all disappeared.
After that the teeth grow darker, long
or and narrower, until they eventually
fall out. Apractical shepherd can usu-
ally Judge the age, very nearly, up to
twelve years.-COuntry Gentleman.

CARES AND CHIcKENs.-The more
naughty children of Mother Earth try
to put themselves in accord with her
beneficent laws, the more pure, clear,
few and simple they will become. in
stead of being the complex, multifari-
GUS and often contradictory beings they
seem to be. For instance, the simple
little disease called gapes in chickens is
strong case il point. Treated in the
light OF .tural laws Common sense), it
yields ready to the proper remedy
the same remedy for the same eli ease
that is indicated in the human being;
for we are all essentially tue same flesh
and blood, from the t;sdpole to The
President, and what is good for one is
So for the other Now, what do we use
salt for in almost everything we eat
It not only furnishes no nutriment,
pleasure or anything else, but is abso-
lutely q poison; and that is the reason
we AXE it, to prevent undue germina-
ion of wo1 ms within US. The old-ti,ne
Hollanders used to punish their crimi-
mails by giving them unsalted food, and
they were thus soon literally devoured
by the worms engendered in their own
stomachs. Now what causes gapes in
chickens? Worms. What is given
animals to prevent this? Salt. But all
the books, etc., say salt will kill chick
ems. SO it would you, if you took too
much, as they often do through the hab-
it of boiling their food without ,nasti-
cation and tasting. In brief, and in
fact when the weather is damp and
cool, always put about as much salt into
the chicks feed as you would in your
own bread, and I will answer 70: the
life of every one. I never lost chick
by gapes in my life, and have raised
thousauds.-A Correspondent Country
