Along his path there moved funeral,
Gray spectacle of poverty woe.
Awretched sledge. dragged by one weary man,
Slowly across the snow. rs
And on the sledCe, blown by the winter wind
Lay poor coffin. very rude and bare.
And he who drew it bent before his load.
With dull and sullen air.
The Emperor stopped and beckon ed to the man:
WHO is't thou Dearest to the grave ." lie said.

Following the coffin, again it went,
Slowly across the snow.
The passers OF the street. all wondering.
Looked on that sight. and then followed
silently;
Peasant and prince. and artisan and clerk.
All in one company.
Still. as they won't, the crowd grew ever moro,
Till thousands stood around the friendless

VIRTUE OF THE TOMATO LEAygs-A
statement comes from South America that
singular property of tomato leaves has been
discovered by fruit grower. Having eut
down some tomato vines, he used them as .
mulch around his peach trees. He soon
discovered that the curculio, which was De-
stroying his fruit. had abandoned the tree
surrounded by the tomato vines. Following
up this accidental discovery. the free use OF
tomato vines proved perfect protection. not
only against curcuIio but other noxious in-
sects. lie found also by sleeping in water
some fresh leaves Of tho tomato. and spripk-
ling the infusion upon other plants, the in.
nnmerable insects which covered them were
driven away. Some gardeners have tried the
above remedy. some by accident aud others
by Intention, and their success was remarks
BILE. One gentleman had his apple trees
ravaCed by the curculio until Ia.t year, when
he secured splendid crop He knows of no
cou'e for his exemption from the curculio
except the tomato plants that were grown
from the first among his trees.
CoKN>FED HENs.-Corn>fed hens do noI
lay IN winter, and especially when snow
covers the ground, because there is nothing
IN corn which furnishes the material for the
white and shell OF the egg, but abundsns
material for fat and rudimentary yoIks. A.
soon as spring comes, corn-fed hens com.
mence laying, and continue to do SO simply
because they are able to supplement this
food by grass, worms, insects and other BIZ
luminous substance, aud also fuds materials
for egg shells in bits OF lime, stone and the
shells and debris of a variety of decayipg
matter thatwe have no conception OF. %
the other hand when wheat is fed TO hen.
there is fat enough in it to supply all that IL
needed for the yolk. and gluten enough 70
make the white, and lime enough to furnish
the she'll, and it does not seem difficult now
to understand why corn.fed hens should NOS
lay. as they do not, aud why wheat fed hens
should lay as they do. -

EATING SNow'oR ICE.-Any
one who has observed children
must know that it is common
practice among them TO cat
snow and ice in winter. 1t is
common to see boys and girls
dcvour a SNOWFALL as though it
were an apple, or an icicle as
eagerly as a bit of candy. The
hard palate which forms the
roof Of the mouth also forms the
floor OF The nostrils, and is no
thicker than pasteboard. The
chilling effect Of snow and ice
brought freely in contact with
this thin partition, the upper
covering Of which is a sensitive
secreting membrane, made up
almost entirely of fine blood
vessels and nerves, produces q
congestion, often succeeded 10y
chronic inflammation. As a con-
sequence, these snow and icl
eating boys and girls almost al
ways have "colds in the head,
and lay a sure foundation for
that most disagrceable COM
plant, nasal catarrh. The habit
should be corrected.

Not Honey Enough.
Am. Bee Journal.

"Too much honey" was the
cry only a few months ago; now
it is the opposite of thisl Then,
a bce-keeper wrote as follows:
II do not know but so much
honey will be produced that it
will not be worth raising" Now
the cry is for more honey! Be-
fore the Winter is over, there
will probably not be a pound to
be obtained at any price. Eu-
rope is stretching out her hands
10 us across old Atlantic's bill
lows, and crying "More, more;
give us morel" The low prices
of the past few months have en-
couraged thousands to "eat hon.
.ey," as advised by Solomon of
old, and the demand is steadily
increasing.
The present advance in prices
and the short crop will retard
the consumption a trife, but ii
will be only Of short duration,
Not one in a hundred is now
eating honey that will do so,
within a few years. The prices
may be somewhat lower but the
demand will be good, and We
hope that next years crop will
be plentiful, that the prices may
he somewhat lower than now, SC
that those who have learned to
cat honey during the past year
or so, may feel as though they
could afford 10 continue to use
il unsparingly. "Too much hon
ry produced!'-not at all
Markets yet undeveloped would
take ten times as much as is
now produced.

Cold WATER.-The benefi-
cial influence of constant cold
water baths is truly wonderful.
A noted author cites in proof
of this his own experience. AT
ter a long course Of writing and
severe study he found himself,
at the age of 40, a confirmed in
valid. The least attempt at cx-
crcise exhausted him; his nerves
gave way a: the most ordinary
excitement, the action of HE
heart was morbidly restless and
painful, his sleep brought no re-
treshment. His efforts to i'm
prove in health were quito fruit
less, although he tried every
means within his power except
The water cure. The system
seemed violent but he deter
mined to try it, and did so with
success. One thing which i'm
pressed him was the ease with
which, under this system, good
habits were acquired and bad
habits cast aside. Siimulants
and narcotics were abandoned
without much reluctance, and
men 10 whom mental labor and
excitement had grown to neces-
sites returned, he says, TO the
careless spirits Of the boy in his
first holiday. According to the
noveIist's experience, water skill
fully administered, proved in it.
self a wonderful excitement,
operating powerfully and rapid
~ upon the nerves. Hence in
his case followed consequence
which he was, perhaps, not JUS
titled in affirming ofall patients,
viz, a complete repose Of the
passions and the intellect from
The carly stages Of the cure.
More gradually, yet pcrceptibly
other good effects were noted
Flesh and weight returned, and
the sense Of health became con-
scious and steady.

For sleeplessness the Journal
of Health recommends this:
Wet half towel, apply it to the
back of the neck, pressing it up
ward to the base of the brain,
and fasten the dry half of the
towel over so as to prevent the
too rapid exhalatlon. The eff
feet is prompt and charming,
cooling the brain, and introduce
ing calmer, sweeter sleep than
any narcotic. Warm water may
be used, though most persons
prefer cold. To those suffering
from over excitement of the
brain, whether the work of brain
work or pressing anxiety, this
simple remedy is an especial
boon.
