Poultry.

Our domestic animals derived as they
are from wild ancestors, require a GER
tain amount of exercise to keep them in
sound and vigorous health. Poultry
cannot be kept in large numbers in con-
fined areas without detriment to their
constitution. Colonel Taggart of Penn
sylvania provides food and exercise for
his fowls at the same time. The editor
found in his poultry yard several beds
about thirty feet square each, in which
Col. Taggart buries oats, several bsshels
to the bed The grains begin at once to
swell ami gernlinate, and the fowls have
free access, scratching and eating the
tender sprouts to their hearts content.
While the fowls are thus busy on one
bed, new one ia prepared, which Is in
readiness for them by the time it is re-
quired. The idea is a good one, and we
are glad to call attention to it. In onr
own yards we have found the benefit OF
it, and we are glad to learn that we are
not alone in the practice Francipr's

R0UEN'S CATHEDRAL.
The Highest Monument in the World.

The new cast-iron spire of the cathe-
dral at Rouen has just been completed
The Semaine Rellgieuse of that diocese
publishes the following particulars rela-
tive TO the comparative heights of the
principal monuments of the globe, as
contrasted with this new work: None
of the structures raised by the hand of
man has made so magnificent or so lofty
pedestal for the Christian Cross. The
dome of St. Peters, at Rome, the model
of modern art, thrown up to the skies
by the genius of Bramante and Michael
Angelo, has raised the emblem to 452
feet above the ground. Strasburg, the
highest cathedral in all France, reaches,
with its celebrated clock tower, 465 feet;
Amiens, 439 feet; Chartres, 399 feet; No
tire Dame, at Paris, has only 222 feet
The Paris Pantheon, considered one OF
the boldest ediices, does not exceed sos
feet, the cross included. On another
side, the highest pyramid, that OF
Cheops, measures 47S feet according 'tc
some travellers, 465 feet according to 9TH
ers, and this latter calculation is the one
generally adopted-a height which nc
human construction has hitherto exceed
ed. The pyramid of Cephrenes has
436 feet, that of Mycorenus III feet
Among more modern edifices the dom,
of St. Panfs, London, has $50 feet, tha
of Milan, 375 feet; the Hotel de Vile
of Brussels, 352 feet; the Square ToweI
of Asinelli, (Italy,) 351 feet; the DOM
of the Invalides, Paris, 344 feet S,
Sophia, at Constantinople, only rises f
100 feet; the leaning tower of Pisa f
1S7 feet; the Arcide Triomphe, Paris, t
IA feet; the Pantheon of Agrippa t
141 feet, the Observatory of Paris to S
feet. The dome Of the capitol at Wash
ingtor, including its statue, reaches 80
feet in height, Trinity Church steepl
being 2S4 feet. From these figure,
: which are given in round mum bers,
will be seen that the spire of Rouer
which has height of 492 feet, is th
most elevated monument in the worlt
The old one, commenced in 1914 on til
plans of Robert Becquet, destroyed b
the fire of September Is, 1922, an
which was justly considered one of tn
boldest and most perfect works in ext
tence, had height of 433 feet; it ws
therefore SO feet less than the preser
spire.

Muffling the Throat.

What is the best mode OF protecting
the throat from colds where person is
very susceptible to them? The common
way Of protecting the throat is to bun
die and wrap it up closely, thus over
heating and rendering it tender and SEN
sitive, and more liable to colds and in
famation than before, Especially is
this the case with children, and when,
in addition to nluffling the throat, the
extremities are insnfficiently clad, as is
often the case, the best possible condi-
tions are presented for the production of
sore throats, coughs, Group, and all
kinds of throat affections. If the neck
ia kept overheated portion of the
time, when it is exposed some form OF
disarrangement of the throat will be
apt to occur The rule in regard to
clothing the neck should be to keep il
as cool as comfort will allow. In do.
ing 80 YOU will suffer much less from
throat ailments than if you are always
fearful Of having little cold air comes
in contact with your neck. Any one
who has been accustomed to have hii
throat muff1ed should be careful to leave
of gradually, and not all at once.

A Remarkable Frog Story.

A remarkable incident occurred at
Brown & Halls sawmill, in Acton,
while pine log was being sawed up in
to lumber. The outside slab and one
board had been cut off, and while the
workmen were turning over the log they
were surprised to see large toad poke
his head ousof a hole in which he was
imbebed. and where he had barely es-
capped being cut up by the saw. How
the stranger got there was mystery,
as he was completely encased, with no
possible means Of ingress or egress. As
the log was the fourth or fifth from the
butt of the tree. his position must have
been at least fifty or sixty feet from the
ground, and he had no doubt grown up
with it from infancy, being probably
hundreds of years old. The animal
was quite fat, and nearly as large as a
mans hand. He was perfectly blind
but when taken from his bed he made
use of his limbs to crawl away. The
tree was perfectly sound, with the ex.
caption of decayed spot of about a
foot in length below the hollow place in
which he was imbeded. How did he
get there, and what did he live on?

DEAR SIR-I had the pleasure and
profit of attending your exposure of the
acts by which the alleged proofs of
Spiritualism are foistcd upon credul-
ous public You showed in a most ef-
fectual and convincing way that a most
intelligent audience could be entirely
deceived by the testimony of its own
senses, in regard to matters which were
afterwards shown openly by you to be
mere tricks in which sleight of hand and
a diversion of attention from the real to
the artificial and chosen conditions were
the means of success. After puzzling
the audience, as no juggler conld puzzle
them, for an hour and half, with feats
that seemed supernatural, you united all
the riddles. left convinced that moth
ing that Spiritualists pretend or believe
is done by spirits, is beyond the reach Of
a clever juggler who possesses unusual
suppleness of joints and strength of
muscles and agility Of movements, per-
fected by practice, and skillfully played
upon the credulitv of our common ma
ture.
am of the opinion that your exhib-
itlon is one of great public Importance,
and tends to disabuse the public mind OF
very mischievous and very general de-
lusion, which indeed is becoming vul-
gar religion with thousands. No de.
criptIon of it can take the place of an
actual sight of it. It might advantage.
ously be repeated in every town, where
the pretended seances of the modern
necromancer have played upon the
weaker portion of communities. With
out attrihuting any exalted motive te

you seek, that your exhibition is one o.
the most instructive and useful ! have
