Tie Dictionary and OYSTERS.

AT the French Academy one day the
members of the committee were en-
deayoring to establish Il distinction be-
tween the words ode suite" and tout
de suite Each of the members sug-
gested different definition, Gentle
men, said Bois-Robert, "let us 90 and
eat dozen oysters. We will discuss
the question while doing So" The pro-
posal was agreed to, and the party ar
rived at the restaurant, "Please open
for us said Bois-Robert, "de suite, six
dozen oysters "Yes," added Courart,
land serve them to us tout de suite"
But, gentlemen said the woman,
chow can ! open your oysters de suite
and serve them tout de suitePn "HowPn
replied one of the Academicians, on
whose mind light was breaking. You
can open six dozen de suite, that is, one
after the other, and then serve them
tout de suite, that is, as soon as you
have opened them That definition
of the two phrases was adopted, and
now appears in the Academy's Diction-
airy.

Hogs in Winter,

There is no domestic animal that
suffers so much from exposure to cold
and wet as the hog. He is native of
a wild climate, and should be treated
as his nature demands if we would turn
his peculiarities TO our advantage And
during winter he should be provided
with warm, dry quarters, plenty Of
warm, clean bedding, and an abundant
supply Of nutritious, fat and hcat-pro-
ducing food, For this purpose there is
nothing equal TO corn, owing to the
large amount Of carbon in its compost
ton, which the hog appropriates in
producing fat and heat to warm his
systematic same as our stoves to warm
our rooms. The colder and the more
exposed these rooms are the more fuel
we are obliged to consume TO make
them comfortable, just SO with the
hog-the less care is expended in max
ing his quarters comfortable, the more
corn he must consume to keep up the
animal heat, and, if not supplied with
the necessary amount of food, his system
has TO fall back on carbon it has stored
in the form of fat, and he must neces.
sarily lose in weight, at his careless or
thOughtlesS owners expense.
Hogs should also have good, supply
of water, rs it is impossible for them to
digest their food without water to
dissolve il and convey il into the blood.
They should be kept constantly supplied
with salt, coal and ashes. Salt is n
valuable stmulator Of the appetite and
digestive organs.
During warm days in winter the feed
should be regulated according to the
temperature, just ~ we would regulate
the fuel according to the demands of
the weather. When the weather sud-
denly becomes warm, animals lose their
appetitcs, and are liable to become
stalled Some cooling, succulcnt
food, as slop or vegetables of some kind,
should be substituted for the more heat
ing food of grain.

Turkey Fattening.
From the Farm,


Nice plump turkey-most people
have weakness that ways what on
many farm the young people of the
household are now looking forward to
produce. Turkeys in few month will
not be the least remunerative depart
ment of the farm-yard when properly
cared for and fed. In the majority of
cases in this country, turkey rearing
hardly pays for the large outlay in
trouble and other expenses. But they
are undoubtedly profitable to raise when
reared on profitable principles, which
means plenty Of food, care and exercise
There is great difference Of opinion in
regard to fattening turkeys, but ey-
perience has shown breeders that the
best way to get the greatest number of
pounds of flesh is to feed the birds all
they will eat, right from the time they
hatch out till they are ready for market.
While they are running at large is
the time to develop them. They undoubt-
eddy get much food in the fields, the
scattered grain, the choppers, worms,
etc, but then they must be supplement-
ed by daily or twice daily feeds Of grain
at the barn. Turkeys cannot bear
confinement, especially when in small
focks or singly, and could never be
confined more then week or ten days
before killing An ordinary rail pen is
one of the best for the purpose, for they
like to be on the ground, At this time
feed principally on cooked or soft food
and plenty of milk, if YOU have it to
spare, giving occasionally hard whole
grain to keep the flesh solid and firm.

Miss Flynn's Lover.

IIOU IWfSS,
Miss Mary Flynn was studying medi
cine and being courted at the same
time. Mr.. William Budd was attending
to the latter part Of the business. One
evening, while they were sitting togeth.
er in the parlor, Mr.. Budd was thinking
how he should propose. Miss Flynn
was explaining certain physiological
facts to him.
"Do you know she said, that
thousands Of persons are actually ignor.
ant that they smell with their olfactory
pedunclc?n

"And Aunt Mary would not believe
me when | told her she couldn't wink
without a sphincter muscle?"
Chow unreaSonable!'
why, person cannot kiss without
a sphincter."
'Indeed?n
II know it is soY'
May | try if | can?"
"Oh, Mr. Budd, il is too bad for YOU
to make light of such a subject
Then he tried it, and while he held
ner hand, she explained to him about
the muscles of that portion of the hui
man body.
1T is remarkable how much YOU
know about those things said Mr..
Budd-'' really wonderful. Now, for
example, what is the bone at the back
of the head called?n
why, the occipital bone, OF course
"And what are the names of the mus
cles Of the arms?n
The spiralis and the intra-spiralis,
among others"
well, now, let me show you what
mean. When put my intra-spiralis
around your waist, so, is it your occip-
ital bone that rests upon my shoulder
blade in this way?"
MY back hair, primarily, but the
occipital bone, Of course, afterward.
But, oh, Mr.. Budd, suppose papa should
come in and see u.s."
LET him come! Who cares?' said
Mr. Budd, boldly. Il think I'll excuse
sphincter and take a kiss"
"Mr Budd, how can YOU" said Miss
Flynn, after he had performed the feat.
Don't call me Mr.. Budd; call me

THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF THE
NURsERY-The following Is an extract
from letter written to the German Refom
Messenger, at Chambersburgh, Penn;
ABENEFACTREsS.
Just open the door for her and Mrs.
Winslow will prove the American Florence
Nightingale of the Nursery. Of this we
are so sure, that we will teach our "Susye
to say, "a blessing on Mrs, Winslow' for
helping her to survive and escape the grin
ing, colicking, and teething seige. Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup relieves the
child from pain, and cures dysentery and
diarrhpa. 1t softens the gums, reduces
inflammation, cures wind collie, and carrys
the infant safely through the teething
period. 1t performs precisely what shes
processes to perform, every part of it-not
ing less. We have never seen Mrs.
Winslow-know her only through the
preparation of her Soothing Syrup for
Children Teething." If we had the power
we would make her, as she is, a physical
savior TO the infant race. Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents bottle. (2)
