DOMESTIC.

WET FEEr.--'rhc 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 arc produced from cold and
wet feet after the debilitating influ-
enceS of the extremes OF cold and heat,
then from any two other causes COM
bincd. This results from tho unusual
exposure of our children in their favor
ite amuscmcnts on tho ice and snow.
These are often SO active and violent as
to produce pcrspiration 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 sshot room, the
body IN pcrspiration, when these cold
and wet feet listurb the circulation
and the equal temperature of the body.
And when we remember that tho
foundations Of consumption are laid in
the thoughtlcss days ofyouth, the more
alarming symptoms appearing with
girls, from seventeen TO twenty-five,

wheat yields the best bread. This is
believed to be due principally TO the
character of tho heterogeneous matter or

for examination by making little flour

of water. There Is then left Il grayish-
yellow, tough, elastic mass, which Is
gluten. Speaking of peas, beans, and
various kinds of pulse, 1t was pointed
out how much moro nearly the differ
ent kinds agree in composition than the
cereals do. The great drawback to the
use of various kinds of pulse is chat
they arc so diil'cLcnt to digest. They
are an excellent theoretical food, nc.

Il Darling Freak.

Some medical students in Baltimore
planned one day recently daring
freak, which miscarried only by mere
chance. They went up to the top of
the Washington Monument, about five
O'Clock in the evening, when 1t was
fast growing dalk, one Of them wear
ing an extra coat. another an extra
pair of pantaloons, and another carry
ing also pair of old boots and other
material concealed, with which to man
utacture the e1llgy of a man. They
quickly did their work, in fact almost
too quickly, for their design had been
observed by several people OH the street
below, whose presence on corner at
tracted the attention OF the keeper.
ApprcLcnd:ng that Il tragedy was i'm
pending, he rushed to the top of the
shalt, where he was Ill first startled BY
seeing pair Of boots hanging over the
parapet, and near by a slow match
burning. On closer examination, how
ever, he discovered the trick, which had
been artfully planned. The efilgy had
rope about its neck, Gil end Of which
was tied to the lightniag-rod. Anoth-
er cord was around the waist of the fig
urc and to this the slow-match had been
attached, which, when it had burned
the cord, by the time it had grown quite
DARK, would have caused the figure to
Sill. over the parapet and left it for Sun

HENS AZ GRUB DEsTROYERS.- The
French peasants have novel modo Of
ieasting their fowls and at the same
tine destroying the common gruhworm
with which, in some districts, their
land is literally 'alive' in early spring,
and Of which the farmers there thus
rid themselves: When the blowing IS
being done coop or box Is placed up
on wheels and filled with advanced
chickens and fowls, forty, fifty or II
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 pcrambu'ating coops
as soon as the ground is turned over for
given space, and they are quickly
busy in gohbiing up the myriads OF
Srubworms thrown to the surface by
the plow, %orSinS themselves with these
rare piGkingS OF which they seem in
ordinatcly fond. The coop is moved
on as the birds advance behind the
plowman, and the fowls feed constants
~ all day long In this way, dcvouring
the gruhs with intense gusto, and ap-
p"arinS never satisfied so long as there
is stray worm in sight. Thus the
French peasant clears his ground pre-
viouS to planting worry eifcclualIy from
these destructive and pestiferous de-
vourcrs Of the rootlings of tender
plants. These grubs breed in countless
numbers in the fields Of Normandy
and Nivcrnais. At sunset the fowls
voluntarily enter the trundlcd 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
