after consulting several members of the Legislature that
1t was not the intention of the trainers law that
this Board should be distributed and consequently did
not conform to that requirement of the Act.

DOMESTIC.

WET FEET THE season Of the year
has arrived when wet feet are usual, TO
say the least, resulting In various forms
of disease. Indeed, it is probable that
more colds are produced from cold and
wet feet after the debilitating intlu-
ences of the extremes of cold and heat,
then from any two other causes COM
bined. This results from the unusual
exposure of our children in their favor
ite amusements on the ice and snow.
These arc often so active and violent as
to produce perspiration and consequent
weakness, predisposing to colds. The
discomforts which might ordinarily be
observed, and needed, under these eX-
citing circumstances, are often unnotic-
ed. The danger is when in the quiet
or home, when fatigue mas prepared
the way, and when in Il hot room, the
body in perspiration, when these cold
and wet feet disturb the circulation
and the equal temperature of the body.
And when we remember that the
foundations of consumption are laid in
the thoughtlesS days ofyouth, the more
alarming symptoms appearing with
girls, from seventeen To twenty-five,
it becomes the duty of a mother 10 see
that her daughter looks after her feet
on returning from skating, etc., secur-
ing comfort.

HENS AS GRUB DESTROYERS. The
French peasants have a novel mode of
teaSting their fowls and at the same
time destroying the common grubWorm
" ith which, in some districts, their
land is literally alive in early spring,
and of which the farmers there thus
rid themselves: When the plowing is
being done a coop or box is placed up
chickens and fowls, forty, fifty or n
hundred in each, and this vehicle is
taken to the newly plowed fields and
follows the open burrows. The fowls
are let out Of the perambulating coops
as soon as the ground is turned over for
a given space, and they are quickly
busy in gobbling up the myriads of
grubworms thrown TO the surface by
the plow ,gorging themselves with the sc
rare pickings of which they seem in
ordinateiy fond. The coop is moved
on as the birds advance behind the
plowman, and the fowls feed constant
ly all day long in this way, devouring
the grubs with intense guStO, and APP
pearing never satisfied so long as there
is stray worm in sight. Thus the
French peasant clears his ground pre-
vious to planting very effectually from
these destructive and peStiter0us de-
vourers of the rootlings Of tender
plants. These grubs breed in countless
numbers in the fields of Normandy
and Nivernais. At sunset the fowls
voluntarily enter the trundled cOopS,
and are thus returned to their home
quarters, or are kept confined until
next day for continuance of this duty,
which appears to be rare enjoyment
to them.

DIR. Wilson Flagg explains why certain
birds, like chickadees and robins, never
tor age in compact flocks, as do the spar
rows and other grain-eating birds. Their
food consists OF insects, aud hence they
are compelled TO scatter. Their natu-
raj gregarlOusness, however, causes
them to sound a note every now and
then, in order to keep within hearing.
Woodpeckers do not call to each other
while feeding, because their hammelng
is sufficient. Mr. Flagg notices a sim
gular fact in the association together,
yet not in the same troop, Of the downy
wOodpeckers and the chickadee. There
seems to b. sort of affinity, he says,
between The small wOodpeckers, the
creepers and the chickadee. They do
not join company, but keep within hear
ing Of one another from a sociable feel
ing. When birds are grain-eaters, they
go in large. close focks, like the red
winged blackbirds, because their food
is abundant.

n WORD OF CAUTION.
Liver Regulator or Medicine manufact-
ured by j. Ii. ZeIlin & Co., like all
standard and really valuable articles,
has INST with degree of annoyance
from lmposters and mercenary adven-
turers. The popularity and worldwide
fame OF the Regulator has induced un-
principled parties to place spurious
compounds called by some garbled part
pi our title or name in the market. A
majority of these enterprises have died
a natural death, but others are periOdi-
cally cropping out. To those vino have
not yet learned the great worth OF the
Regulator this word of caution is nec-
essary. TO the invalid it may be
question of life and death. Ask for
simmons Liver Regulator, and look for
the signature of j. III. Zeilin d Co. and
the large red Il. on their clean, white
wrapper. Accept no colorado imita-
tlons or substitutes however plausIbly

Electricity as an Or-ndment.-M. Trouve,
VINO has recently utilized electricity
for many moved purposes, has applied
it now to trinkets and articles of orna-
ment. For instance, of two scarf-pins
one has heath's-head, gold or enamel,
with diamond eyes and an articulated
Jaw: the other has a rabbit seated up-
right on g box with little bell before
it. to be struck with two rods held in
animals fore paws. An invisible wire
connects these objects with small her
matically-clOsed battery, the ebonite
case of which is about the size of a ci-
garette. 1t is kept in the waist coat
pocket, and acts only when turned
horizontally or inverted. When per-
son looks at the pin the owrer, slipping
a finger into his pocket moves the bat

SCIENTIFIC.

CompdratiUe Value Of OodS.-In a re-
cent, lecture on the chemistry of food,
bv Professor Church, some suggestive
points of dietetIcs were well brought
out. Of all the cereals. says Mr.. Church,
wheat yields the best bread. This is
believed to be due principally 10 the
character of the heterogeneous matter or
wheat. The main constituent Ia a
1ibrlre, and it can be readily obtained
for examination by making little flour
into dough with water. and then wash
ing the starch out by means of stream
OF water. There Is then left grayiSh-
yellow, tough, elastic mass, which Is
gluten. Speaking of peas, beans, and
various kinds of pulse, it was pointed
out how much more nearly the differ
ent kinds agree in composition than the
cereals do. The great drawback TO the
use of various kinds of pulse is that
they are so different to digest. They
are an excellent theoretical food, ac-
cording To analysis, but they are Sc
we're tax on digestion. OF all the beans
none presents better typical food than
the Soy bean. Lentlis have been much
spoken of lately as good food, and,
they undoubtedly approach to good
typical food, but they are bitter, astrin-
gent, and not easy OF digestion. Ii has
now come TO be pretty well recognized
that the food of man doing hard work
should have feSh-formerS to heat-giyerS
in proportion of l 70 / y and that the
food OF a child should have 10 Z. Bread
gives l to ~ where the heat-givers are
more even Jnan a child wants; so it is
not good heat by itself. Pulse gives
(taking an average) to pa. which Is
lar to small. In these calculations
heat givers are reckoned as starch.
Potatoes give TO l6, according TO the
latest analyses the old TO s being evil
IDENTIFY an error. Onion is to +, an
excellent proportion, though onions
are not much in favor as food. In LOOKS
ing at Lhe relative values of flesh
formers and heat-givers III foods, The
actual amount of water must not be
forgotten.

AGRICULTURE.

THE EVAPORATION OF FRUIT. Null
tituues of men of great intelligence do
not seem to understand the difference
between evaporated and dried fruit.
They are almost incredulous when told
that evapOrated fruit sells at two and
three times the price of dried, especial
ly that which is dried in the sun. Yet
such is the fact. The demand for eva
porated fruit is largely for export.
While The bright and beautiful color of
evaporated fruit greatly recommends it
to the consumer, 1t is by no means its
chief recommendation. If IL were so,
sun-dried fruit might be bleached by
Sulphurous acid gas, or chlorine, TO
make itlnQuired after. Take of peach
es. for example, forty-eight hours be-
tore they are fully ripe; dry halt of
them either in the sun, or in an oven,
or dryer not philosophically construc-
ted, and the other half in phIloSophi-
Cal evaporator and the evaporated
fruit will be found To contain from ten
TO fifteen per cent. more of sugar than
the dried; besides the flavor Will be so
different that any person can perceive
the superior excellence Il the evapora-
ted. Drying fruit Is removing the ma
Uural Juices, either in the sun, in an
oven, or in dry air. The outside is
dried first. Eyaporating is removing
the natural juices, while the fruit Is
kept in air saturated with moisture.
This is important TO remember, II dis
appointment at results Is TO be avoided.
TO remove the natural juices while the
fruit remains in moist air, is 10 convert
the starch of the fruit into sugar with
great rapidity-rsducing the time OF
ripening from forty eight TO five or six
hours. The heat of the chamber in
| which the fruit is placed, the moisture
evolved, the increased electrical cur
rent, all tend 10 this result. To secure
most perfectly the full flavor OF evap-
grated fruit, the trays or hurdles must
| be placed IN hot air chamber heated
| by furnace, coil of hot air pipes or
OF steam. \ furnace or stove with
sufficient radiating surface TO produce
ten. perature of from 26O TO 800 deg. Fab.
is ali that is needed. The tray or hur-
dies is placed above ii for about ten
minutes, or until il is heated through.
IL is then elevated by machinery or
endless cnains five Inches and another
tray of fresh fruit is showed in the place
made vacant. This operation is contin-
! ued until the hot air chamber Is filled
with trays, when the first that was put
in is ready TO come out.
