she will bear up; and smile she must, an
answering smile to the love Of friends,
the courtesy of society, the beauty of
flower and grass, and the slant sunshine
through the trees. But there Is no joy
within. Home Is joyless spot; for her
most careful housewifery there is never
an encouraging word; for the taste and
grace with which she tries to make home
attractive there il never an encouraging
word. The glance Of her husbands eye
only takes in what happens to offend; the
word of his mouth only expresses what he
finds, and these are faults, spots, some
thing forgotten or overlooked. she
breads him, she fears him, she shrlnks
from him. There il NO freedom or SUM-
shine in his presence. Perhaps in her
yearning woman's heart she has longed
for his return, forgetting in his absence
the small tyranny of his exacting spirit;
but the thrill of his coming is soon dead.
ened-" No encouraging Words" and
she silently slips out Of his sight to swal-
low her disappointment and heart break-
ing alone.
There is sense of misery in the house
which no stranger can detect; perhaps
this is too positively expressed; it is rather
an absence Of Joy, everything spontaneous
and cheerful and glad held in check. A
minor tone rims through the family life,
depressing to every one. The prints of
an iron hand ale on every heart.
"Never . word to encouragel' slipped
unawares from her lips one day. It does
not seem much; but who that has felt it
does not know that it is the secret of
many joyless childhood, many broken
spirit Family Friend.

Poultry Yard Notes.

A DAILY ration of green food is an act
ual necessity for laying hens. Vegetables,
either raw or cooked, of which they are
very fond, supply in q measure the place
of green diet. Onions chopped fine and
mixed with their food are very whole
some, and in many cases preventive OF
disease. There is no green food SO good
for growing chicks as onion tops, cut up
fine; they should always be fed something
Of this kind when it is necessary to house
them on account of Indictment weather.
Put away choice eggs with the name of
breed and date of laying until some hen
wants to set. Select good clean nest
and put in china egg, hang piece of
board over the nest to keep the hen in and
outsiders out. Put the hen on the nest
and shut the door; if she is wild, . few
hours win quiet her, and by evening the
valuable eggs may be substituted for the
china one. The eggs should not be more
than thirteen days old, and marked with
the date of setting, in orcer to know when
to expect the brood to hatch out. Feed
setting hens with corn once in twenty four
hours. Close the doors of the hen house,
lift the hens from the nest by their feet,
provide them with corn, fresh water and
. box of sifted ashes or road dust. Close
the nests and leave the hens for twenty
minutes, when they will be ready for their
nests. During the latter part of the three
weeks sprinkle the eggs daily with luke
warm water, while the hens are feeding.
If the hen was set late in the day the
chickens should hatch out at evening Or
in the night; by the next day they should
be ready tn leave the neet. Put a mixture
Of kerosene ON their heads ard under
their wings, and move them with their
mother to q clean coop. Darker this cuop
somewhat for q couple of days, 80 that
the hen may keep herself quiet and her
chicks warm. Cover the floor of the coop
with sifted ashes. 1t pays, and pays we'll,
to keep poultry if cared for as they should
be. The guano alone, if we'll housed, is
worth more than it costs to keep the
fowls. No department of the farm 10 20
generally neglected as the poultry yard.
Pure bred fowls pay much better than the
common ones. If farmers would raise
more poultry for their own table, a. .
change from the monotony Of pork, they
would have better healthy. =. Herald.

On recent Sunday night, two Alleg-
hany pal gentlemen attempted to play
policemen, and succeeded n admirably.
A lady named Mrs. Smith, who resides
near the toll-g gate ct the head of Federal
street, thought she heard burglars in the
upper story of her house. She was very
much frightened, ~ her husband was not
at home, and she ran to the door and
screamed for help. Two gentlemen,
named Owens and Spang, heard her cries
and went to her assistance. She told them
what was the matter, and they agreed 10
surround the house that il, one Of them
was tc enter the front door and the other
the rear door, and thus prevent
the escape of the burglar. The plan was
carried out. Mr.. Spang entered at the
front door, with piece of iron Ras-pibe
in his hand, and Mr.. Owens entered 1t
the rear door. The hallway was very
dark, and Mr.. Spang had gone but . short
distance when he detected the burglar.
whom he ct once made at and struck on
the head with the gas-pipe. The other
man quickly grasped Mr.. Spang around
the body, carried him to the porch in the
rear, and attempted to throw him to the
ground beneath. While the two were
struggling they discovered their ludicrous
mistake, and hastily departed TO bind up
their wounds, while Ms. Smiths bur.

DEAD SELVES.

How MANY of my selves are dead3
The ghosts of many haunt me. Lo!
The baby in the tiny bed
With rockers ON is blanketed
And sleeping in the long ago;
And 80 l ask, with shaking head.
How many Of my selves are dead?
A little face with drowsy eyes
And lisping lips comes mistily
From out the faded past, and tries
The prayers . mother breathed with sigho
OF anxious care in teaching me;
But face and form and prayers have fed
How many of my selves are dead?
The little naked feet that slipped
In truant patters, and led the way
Through dead'ning pasture lands, and tzipped
Ger tangled poisOn-vines, and dipped
In streams fOrbidden-where are theyf
In vain listen for their tread
How many Of my selves are dead?
The awkward boy the teacher caught
1nditing letters filled with love,
Who was compelled, for all he fought,
To read aloud each tender thought
Of Sugar Lump" and Turtle Dovos-
wonder where he hides his head
How many of my selves are dead?
The earnest features of a youth,
With manly fringe on lip and chin.
With eager tongue to tell the truth,
To offer love and life, forsooth,
So brave was he to WOO and win;
A prOuder man was never we'd
How many of my selves are dead?
The great. strong hands SO all-inclined
To welcome toll, or smooth the care
From mother brows, or quick to find
leisure scrap of any kind,
To toss the baby in the air,
Or clap at babbling things it said
How many of my selves are dead?
The watchful eye and scheming brain
Conspiring in the plots of wealth,
Unconscious. till the heightened chain,
Cnwindlassed in the wells Of gain,
Recoils with dregs of ruined health
And pain and poverty instead
How many of my selves are dead?
The faltering steA the faded hair,
The wildered mind-au whispering
With foolish fancies that declare
That life and love were never there.
Nor ever Joy in anything,
Nor wounded heart that ever bled-
How many of my selves are dead?
So many Of my selves are dead
That. bending here above the brink
Of my last grave, with dizzy head,
l find my spirit comforted
For all the idle things think;
1t can but be peaceful bed,
since all my other selves are dead.

Eject Of Metals upon Anesthesia.

SOME twenty five years ago q certainyM.
Burg, doctor in France, announced q
discovery at which science looked with
little favor. He declared that the appli-
cation of certain metals to the human
body relieved the malady of an@sthesia,
and restored the faculty of sensation. Some
patients could be helped by the touch of
gold, copper agreed better with others,
and zinc suited the constitution of third
set.
Very lately some members of the S0ci-
etc de Biologie have given NJ. Burq's
practice trial, with results which seem
satisfactory enough. For example, pa
tient OF the Salpetriere, girl Of about
sixteen, subject to Authorizations, and un.
able to feel on the right side of her body,
was treated with gold bracelet. It is
said that before the application of the
bracelet she allowed herself to be pinched
and pricked with needles with perfect in
difference. Fifteen minutes after the or
nament was clasped round her wrist the
skin became of a more healthy color, and
the slightest touch of the needle drew
blood and provoked CALCULATIONS from the
sufferer. Her right eye, which had been
blind during her illness, now distin-
guished colors, and her right ear detected
sounds.
On other patients gold had no effect, but
zinc or copper restored, for the time, the
lost senses. It is to be noticed that in a
few hours the deafness to feeling returned
in these hysterical subjects. and it is also
said that what the right side of the body
gained, the left side lost. So, on the
whole, the discovery seems rather curious
than prOfitable.-London Daily Neaos.
In a recent lecture In Edinburgh 'on
1.-THE Stars" Prof. Grant said that
railway train, travelling day and night
fifty miles per hour, would reach the
moon in six months, the sun in 200 years,
and Alpha Centauris. the nearest Of the
fixed stars, in A, 0OO, 900 years; a cannon
ball travelling 800 miles per hour. in
2, zoo, 600 years; and light, travelling 1885,
600 miles per second, in three years.
Light from some of the telescope stars
takes 800 years to reach the earth: from
others SOC, 900 years. These stars, there
fore, may have become extinct thousands
of years ago, though their light comes to
our eyes. Alpha Lyra is 100, 00O, OO0, 900
of miles from us. and its magnitude and
splendor are as twenty to one compared
with our sun. The sun is neither greater
nor smaller than most of the stars.
