ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.

Young husbands, as soon as the
matrimonial moose is tied, leave off
by degrees all those little civilities
and attentions which made you so
pleasant and agreeable to your lady
love in the days Of courtship. Do not
fail to mention every fault and i'm
perfection you discover IN your wife's
disposition, which, of course you
must give her to understand you did
not know she possessed, or she would
never have become your wife; and.
when IN company, pay more attention
to every other lady than you do to
her. Expatiate largely on the beauty
and merits Of certain lady friend
whom you once thought of address,
ing: In after years, as your house.
hold treasures increase leave all the
care and worry of them to her, never
offer to Tighten her burdens by anus
ing the little ones when you are about
the house, take to your book or paper
and require each little one to keep
quiet and let you read. If they fail
to obey, scold, fret and whip them
soundly, and wonder why she don't
teach them to mind when they are
spoken to. When the baby is teething
or James has the Group, retire early
to rest, leaving her alone with the
wide awake sufferers, and while she
administers medicine (spllling half
for want of some one to assist then
walks with it in her tired arms up
and down the floor until faint, then
rocks it and rubs it, while its screams
continue to pierce her mother heart
like arrows, you sleep unmindful of
its physical suffering or her WEAKNESS
and anguish, even If she calls YOU
anon more loudly each time, until in
despair she gives up all hopes of
arousing you. Continue to follow
these instructions ten years, and if
your wife's heart is not as cold as an
iceburg toward you by that time you
may rest assured that she has spark
of INSANITY in her compOsition.

A DIsGUSTDD TRAVELLER.

no whisky.

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN TO SLEEP

A lady overheard her nurse girl the
other night talking to the little child
she was putting to sleep, and among
other legends Of the nursery in
which she INDUCED was this:
IF yon don't go right to sleep
this very minute, big, awful black
bear. with eyes like Goals of fire. and
sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come
out from under the bed and eat v O.
u-a-ll up"
The poor little thing nestled down
under the clothes and after a long
season of terror fell asleep to dream
frightful dreams of horrid bears eat
ing her up.
That night when the stolid nurse
had composed herself in her own
comfortable bed and put the light
out, there came sudden rap at the
door, and the voice of the mistress
called loudly through the panels:
Maggie! Maggie! for mercy sake
get up as quick as you can. There's
a fearful burglar under your bed.an
as soon as you get asleep he's COM
ing out to rob and murder you
At the word burglar she sprang
screaming from the bed, tore open
tho door and fell in Mysteries into
the hall. The lesson was even moro
instructive than the mistress had de
signed; but when the girls fear was
calmed she said to her:
You did not hesitate to tell my
little delicate child. who could not
possibly know that it was lie,a cruel
story of bear under her bed; now,
when l treat you to the same kind
of slumbcr story, you are nearly
frightened to death. Tomorrow you
can go into the kitchen and work
you are not fit to care for little chill
dren.'
How many children are there who,
every night of their lives, are fright
ened to sleep?

A PLACE IN TIE D1PA1T1ENr.

A Washington correspondent says:
One bright morning last spring
John Sherman was sitting'in his office
when suddenly bright t-haired, pretty
girl dashed into his presence. She
was apparently sixteen, and had about
her an air of business which even the
cold gaze Of the Ohio statesman could
not transform into maiden fright or
furry. Deliberately taking a seat,
the girl said: "Mr. Sherman, I have
come here to get place" "There
are none vacant" was the reply. Il
know you can give me place if you
want to. and l think I am as much en-
titled to it as anybody. My father
spent his life in the United States
Army. ind when he died he left moth
ing. The responsibility Of the family
is on me, and think I have got as
good q claim as any one else on the
Government" What kind Of place
do you want!" II don't care what II
is, but l must have work at once.''
He assured her that there we're ten
applicants for every one place, and
there was very little chance. She
very deliberately told him that such
an answer wouldn't do, and declared
that ii he would allow her she would
come up every day and black his
shoes. if he couldn't do better for
her. The Secretary was struck with
her determination and charmed by
her bright face and her sprightly
manner. He told her to come back.
In less than a week she had a good
place in the Treasury, which she still
holds. Every morning she walks to
the department with the step of a
business little woman who is proud
that her delicate hands can be the
support of others. She receives 500
a month and supports in comfort hel
mother and sister. This brave, bright
young woman is Miss Mary Macau.

COLD JUNE OF 1915.

IA few warm days" How eagerly
all classes looked for them in that
memorable cold time sixty six years
ago. 1t was called a dry season.
But little rain fell. The wind blew
steadily from the north, cold and
fierce Mothers knit extra socks and
mittens for their children in the
spring, and wood-piles, that usually
disappeared during the warm spell, in
front of the houses, were speedily
built up again. Planting and shiver-
ing were done together, and the farm
ers. who worked out their taxes on the
country roads, wore overcoats and
mittens. In a town in Vermont, a
flock of sheep belonging to a farmer
had been sent, as usual, to their past
ure. On the 18th of June q heavy
snow fell, the cold was intense, and
the owner started away at noon to
look out for his sheep. Better start
the neighbors after me soon, wife,"
he said, in jest, before leaving; be
ing the middle of June I may get lost
in the snow" Night came, the
storm increased. and he did not re-
turn. The next morning the family
sent for help and started in search.
One after another the neighbors
turned out to look for the missing
man. The snow had covered up ali
tracks, and not until the third day
did they find him. He was on the
side of a hill, with both feet frozen,
unable TO move. A farmer, who had
large field of corn in Tewksbury,
near Lowell, built large fires around
it at night to ward off the frost;
many an evening he and his men took
turns watching them. He was re.
warded with the only crop of corn in
the neighborhood. Fears that the
sun was cooling off abounded, and all
picnics We're strictly prohibited. -

POSSIBILITIES OF COTTON PRODUCTION

1t may be we'll to remark at the out
set that the production of cotton in
the South is practically without limit.
1t was 1880 before the American crop
reached 100000 bales, and the high
est point ever reached in the days of
slavery was a trife over 4,50O,OO0
bales. The crop of 1880 81 is about
2,OOO,O00 in excess of this, and there
are those who believe that crop of
100000 bales is among the certain
ties of the next few years. The heavy
increase in the cotton crop is due en-
tirely to the increase of cotton acre
age brought about by tho use of
fertilizers. Millions of acres of land,
formerly thought to be beyond the
possible limit of the cotton belt, have
been made the best of cotton lands by
being artificially enriched. In North
Carolina, alone, the limit of cotton
production has been moved twenty
miles northward and twenty miles
westward, and the half of Georgia on
which no cotton was grown twenty
years ago now produces fully half the
crop of the State. The "area of low
production" as the Atlantic States
are brought to the front by artificial
stimulation is moving westward, and
is now central in Alabama and
Florida. But the increase in acreage
as large as it is, will be but small
factor in the increase of production
compared to the intensifying of the
land now in use. Under the present
loose system of planting, the average
yield is only one bale to three acres
This could be easily increased to g
bale an acre. In Georgia five bales
have been raised on one acre, and q
yield of three bales to the acre is
credited to several localities. presi
dent Morehead, of the Mississippi
Valley Cotton Planters Association
says that the entire cotton crop OF the
present year might have been easily
raised in fourteen counties along the
Mississippi river 1t will be seen
therefore, that the capacity of the
South to produce cotton is practically
limitless, and, when we consider the
enormous demand for cotton goods
now opening UP from new climes ano
peoples, we may conclude that thu
near future will see crops compared
to which the crop of the past year
worth $300,000,000, will seem small

Pigeon Houses on the Nile.

A correspondent visited some of the
many pigeon houses erected near the
river, which from their towering, con-
ical form, never fail to attract the at
tention of travellers on the Nile on
coming to Cairo by rail These breed
ing places consist of nothing else than
an enormous number of red earthen-
ware vessels, closely resembling medi-
um sized flower pots placed in a circle,
with the mouth inward, and tier upon
tier is raised with the assistance of the
tenacious Nile mud, until the cone is
completed and the dome covered in, a
few light branches of trees being intro
duced on the outside of the fabric be-
fore completion to enable the pigeons
to perch and rest themselves at times.
Hawks and other birds of prey, not to
say cats also, annoy and often destroy
the pigeons here, and consequently a
trap-door is fitted to the place about
half way up the building, and worked
by couple of ropes which reach down
to the ground. These, on being pulled
by the natives at dawn, allow the pig
cons to sally forth and feed gratis dur
ing the day in the adjoining fields or a
little farther off if food is scarce at
hand, and soon after sunset, when the
pigeons are all back again, the trap
door is let down for the night to the
exclusion of all intruders. There is a
long upright pole in the center of the
building, with cross-pieces of wood on
it to serve as ladder, upon which the
owner mounts when he wishes to catch
the birds or clean out the place; and
owing to the facility for keeping pig
cons in Egypt, it is not to be wondered
at their being found always in the
market, and at very moderate prices
1t is not altogether, however for the
sake of the birds that the people breed
them on large scale, but it is the ma
nure, which is priced for agricultural
purposes, especially for raising melons
in spring; and often a fellah who has
no pigeons to depend upon will send
donkey and boy with a couple of large
baskets across the animals back
through the country to buy up all the
manure he requires by going from
house to house, even where only few
pigeons are kept, paying two shillings
for quantity that would barely fill
buShel measure.

Cuts must be treated according to
their position and severity. If fin
ger or toe is cut bathe or immerse it
in cold water until the blood ceases to
flow, washing out all dirt and foreign
substances that have entered the cut
If it is deep, notice how the blood
flows if it is dark and oozes from the
cut slowly, only vein is severed and
il is not ser Gus but will soon heal if
kept from the air. But if it is of a
bright scarlet hue and spurts out in
jets, an artery is severed and doctor
must be called at once. Meanwhile a
ligature must be tied above the cut
and the thumb pressed down and held
upon the artery to prevent loss of
blood. If the skin gaps from a cut,
draw the edges together, apply piece
of sticking plaster over the whole sur
face. and put the finger or the thumb
of a kid glove over the finger if il is
the injured part. If in little while
the wound throbs painfully, cover it
thickly with the vaseline with few
drops of laudanum stirred into it. and,
if needful from severe inflammation,
put on a poultice of fiaXseed boiled in
little water with few drops of laud-
anum. But vaseline alone possesses
great healing powers for all kinds of
wounds, boils, inhammations and abra-
sions of the skin. As long as the first
dressing of a cut remains firm and it
does not throb or burn. it should not
be touched. An outer clean cloth can
be added, but let the inner one alone
until the wound is healed. Cuts on
the head are apt to be dangerous and
require much care. The hair should
be cut off all around, and arnica plas-
ter put directly over the wound.
