CHARCOAL AND LIME.-Pcrmit us to
again urge all breeders of poultry who
wish healthy fowls, to be liberal in supply
ing their fowls with charcoal. 1t is one of
the best preventives Of diseases amongst
the fowls that can be named
Even if the fowls are not confined, but
especially SO if they are, charcoal pounded
up into bits or pieces about the size of a
grain of corn, or a little finer, should be
put around in small piles where the fowls
Can have easy access to it, and they will
soon make use Of it. The cost cf charcoal
is but a triho and where the distance from
town or city is so great as to prevent it from
being readily obtained therefrom, the ashes
from woodstove may be sieved out and the
small bits of charcoal used in the place of
that made in the regular way. Especially
during the spring and early summer months,
is it advisable to use charcoal freely. Lime,
too, is valuable in many ways. In the form
Of white wash it bcgets cleanliness, freedom
from disease, and laying hens should have
lime where they can make use Of it, iu as
sisting in the production of the eggs THE
Poultry World.

MAKE NE A SONG,

Out Of the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall Of woe,
Dim and drcar
As hopes last tear.
Out Of the silences make me u hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft aud dim.
Out Of the stillnesses ih your heart
thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song Of hope in last a despair,
Dark and low,
A chant of woe,
Out of the stillnesscs, tone by tone,
Soft rs a snowflake, wild as q moan.
Out Of the darknesses flash me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep rs n lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows of the night
Sing ii sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark or dim
And earth-songs melt into Heavens hymns

How TO TREAT RoGUEs.-The Orange
burg Taxpayer suggests novel plan of
treating criminals. Its suggestion is COM
mendcd to the consideration of the Lcgis.
fSsure, before whom the important question
is now pending. Here it is:
We therefore suggest that all parties
found guilty of petit larceny twice during
any one year be disfranchised, and that
for the first offensc they be pilloriod at the
Courthouse for number Of days to be
fixed by the Legislature. A man who will
steal is unfit to vote, and ought net t. be
allowed to exercise a franchise by which he
helps to make Governors. Nor ought he to
be fed at the public expense. The pillory
and disfianchisement are what We suggest

SICK HEADACuE.-Thc true cause Of
sick headache lies deep in the patients
idiosyncrasy, and is developed by hundred
different causes. The advice, then, to suf
fercrs is to give as much tone to their
nerves by adopting all those methods which
experience has shown to be good, and then
avoid so far-as practicable, all those causes
which are known to excite an attack. A
writer in an old reliable British Medical
Journal says:
81 need scarcely describe sick headache
how one rises in the morning more dead
than alive perfectly unable to swallow the
smallest particle of food, and often per-
haps actually sick how the head throbs,
and the pain is increased by the slightest
movements; how one prays to be left alone
i'll the utmost quiet, so that he may if pos.
siblc, sleep. TO other persons the sufferer
looks extremely i'll, very pale, lark around
the eyes, and with contracted pupil TO
himself his head feels hot and the applica-
ton of cold most refreshing The clam.
mincss in the mouth the nausea, and gen
eral gastaic disturbances are secondary, and
have no connection with an improper meal
aud thus are in no way relieved by the too
frequent and ignorantly administered pur.
gativc. This is not needed, and has no
good result. The only remedies which are
of any avail are those which act on the
nervous system, such as hot tea and coffee
or, after the stomach is quietcr, and the
more urgent symptoms have passed off, a
little wine or ammonia. If the headache
takes more the form of hcmicrania, then
remedies arc occasionally useful, as the To-
ca! application of the bisulphide of carbon,
or galvanism. and internally the bromide Of
potassium. This is the only drug that |
have seer to be really scrviccablc. While
nausea exists and the worst symptoms pre-
vail even this remedy is Of no avail"

CURE OF SPINAL DISEAsE,-"Thank
God, the days of humpback arc ended"
said DIR. Sayrc, at Il recent meeting of thS
Cork branch of the British Medical Associ.
alton. His method of treatment of spinal
diseases is to give complete and continued
rest day and night at the point where the
Inflammation exists perfect freedom from
compression, and at the same time absolute
immobilty, so enabling consolidation to
take place. His process involves temporary
suspension of the patient in peculiar ap.
paratus by which the weight of the head
and shoulders is taken off the spine, and
the application Of skin fitting shirt, coated
over with plaster of: Paris. A sufficient
vacuum for the patients food is sccnrcd BY
laying cotton pad or India rubber bag
beneath the shirt, over the stomach, until
the outer case is hardened, after which it
may be removed. DIR. Sayrc exhibited a
patient young man of nineteen, who had
suffered from an angular curvature cf the
spine, the angle Of this curvature being
about 13O degrees, and was only able TO
move about by putting his hands ON his
knees or catching at the furniture. After
six..wecks treatment the patient was per-
fectly erect and had gained three quarters
of an inch in height he had taken unas-
sisted, walk Of four miles, and the bone
was rapidly developing. In the case Of
another sufferer, little boy of seven, af-
fected with curvature Of the lumbar vcrte-
brn, marked benefit had followed q very
brief trcatmcnt.-EE.

GIVE THE Fowls PURE WATER.-Thc
careless way in which fowls are ordinarily
provided with drinking water on farms
throughout the country is undoubtedly the
cause of some Of the diseases which have
proved so destructive How often do we
find flock of valuable birds, birds that
their owner has expended consldcra-
BILE money in improving, obliged to drink
the dirty unwholesomc water of drains
and the pools standing in the barnyard, or
the water of melted snow There is moth
ing worse for them, yet how few farmers
appreciate the fact.
Again, while many provide drinking ves-
sells in their hcnneries, and fill them when
they are emptied, they do not realize that
after cold water has stood for several hours
in the midst Of the odors so prevalent in
even the best managed coops, it absorbs the
vile Sascs..and becomes so polluted that it is
unfit to drink
Let any one turn out vessel of water
that has stood twenty. -four hours in hen
cry, and while it is flowing take a sniff of
it; if he can wonder why the hens refuse
to drink it until they are very thirsty in
deed, his sense of smell is weak one The
drinking vessels for fowls ought to be clean
cd and filled at morning and early afternoon
We have often seen fowls stand about a
newly replenished water vessel in the after
noon and drink copiously when they have.
five minutes previously. refused water that
had been standing-Massachusetts Plough-
man.
