MAKING HENS LAY IN WINTER.-lt Is
really discouraging 10 tell, for the 500th
time or so, show TO make hens lay in win
ter" Everybody ought to know how by
this time, but it's plain everybody doesn't,
so wo copy these directions from the Gold
en- Rule, only remarking that one more
thing is necessary, and that at the outset
get good breed of hens: The first thing
is light, warm, healthy quarters. The win
dows in the hennery should be low, and on
the side for the morning sun, so the fowls
can take an early bath in the sunlight. The
temperature should be such that the combs
will not suffer from frost, and it would be
wise to have 1t so that eggs will not freeze.
Not more than Is or 20 fowls should be
permitted in coop II feet square, and, no
matter how large the coop, rs is number
rs large as is profitable TO run together.
Give them good dust box OF dry, fine
earth or ashes, and keep broken bone or
shell always before them. See that their
water is replensbed, every morning, with
hot water, and that some green stuff, such
as cabbage, turnip, clover or corn fodder,
is occasionally thrown in for them TO pick
over. Then regularly, and with proper
economy-say twice each day-Geed Them
all they will eat, and no more i'm the
morning, soft food, pieces from the table,
boiled potatoes, mixed with bran and meal
the latter used sparingly-with little
pepper and salt. Feed this every other
day, and alternately with buckwheat, and
you have the best food we know of for lay
ing hens. Every night feed corn, whole or
coarse cracked changing occasionally with
oats. Plckings of meat or fresh fish two or
three times week are good. If you can
not get these conveniently, ground scraps
will answer; for coop Of twenty hens
take pint of scraps, put them in three
pints of water, leave them over night;
then mix meal with them. Give this two
or three times week, with bran, potatoes
and buckwheat.

How the Egyptians Treated their
Inanna.


How strange 1t is 10 find that the mild
system now adopted in our insane asylums
should have been that actually pursued In
that cradle OF civilization-Egypt. The
system OF treatment seems to have been
excellent. At both extremities of Egypt
were temples dedicated 10 Saturn, TO which
melancholics resorled in great numbers in
quest OF relief; in these abodes surround
ed by shady groves and beautiful gardens,
varieties of games and recreatlons were es-
tablshed for the amusement OF the mind
and tho IMMIGRATION OF the body, while the
Imagination was impressed with the finest
productions of the sculptor and painter.
This was nothing less than the treatment
which Pinel labored TO restore when he
struck of the chains from the lunatic and
by revertlng to the system OF compare
lively benighted age, destroyed that bar
barous and cruel system which was dis
grazing the character and satirizlng the
vaunts of an advanced civilization. They
were indeed, wonderful people-those an
cient Egyptians-with those tenets of
resurrection, day of judgment, future
retribution and an incarnation OF Gods.
Perhaps justice has scarcely been done
them by those who owed so much 10 them.
Thus Pythagoras, who was the first Greek
philosopher who practiced medicine, seems
TO have inherited most of bis philosophy
from them, and'might we'll have introduce
ed into Greece, with the doctrine of met
empychosis, the plan AFTER which the
Egyptians treated insanity. But now, hap
PLY, resting on the solid basis of the high
est moral law, we apply every comfort
which humanity can suggest, and every
instrument which science can devise, to re-
lieve the unhappy beings whom destiny
has so fearfully afflicted. Com.

THE SPARE BED.-one rule ought TO be
invariable with every good housekeeper:
That the bed in the guest chamber shall
never be made" except when it is to be
directly used. Let it lie fallow between
whites, and turn the mattresses every few
days, with all precaution against dampness
gathering on them. Then when put in or
der, with fresh sheets and blankets having
the dry heat OF the kitchen fire in them,
there will be small risk of that chill which
the travellers dread. We repeat it, a room
kept undamped, sweet and sun-wholesome,
with a dried bed and plenty of well-alred
bedelothes, is within the reach of all 10

visitors ask. 1t is better than hot stove

efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
blned, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions

The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which

Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
