A Feature OF Hotel Life.

Gossiping about the large hotels of
New York and the costly habits which
they stimulate, the ''Lounger" of the
Tribune touches upon a hidden feature
of hotel life thus: "Many guest is in
debt and cannot get away from his ho-
tel Many a woman, apparently indie
pendent and fortunate, is wondering,
while she smiles with visitors, how she
shall get her trunks away from the es-
tablishment, and what person in the
house she shall strike for loan, and at
what sacrifice. People often look into
the tenement house and think that the
people must be very miserable there,
but wonder If they are not happier
homes than some of these large hotels,
where every week comes the reprimand
that 5000 or more is due and the rules
of the house are imperative"

Nice Notions About Stables.

Let your stable be well drained and
sufflctently lighted. The yapors from
damp, putrid floor, and the sudden
change from darkness to light, will
almost to certainty cause blindness.
Let the floor of the stall be quite fiat
and level. Standing on sloping place
is very painful, and causes 1ameness
by straining the ligaments and men,
branes. 1t also produces grease and
sore heels. Every stall should be at
least six feet wide and nine feet long.
This will enable the horse to turn
round without bruising himself, and to
Lie down and stretch himself with COM
fort. Let the stalls be separated by
partitions, not by bars. They prevent
the horses from fighting and kicking
each other. Let proper openings be
made just under the ceiling, to permit
the hot. foul air to escape, and proper
openings at the bottom of the wall to
admit fresh air. Impure and confined
air win cause broken wind. The fresh
air should enter through number of
small holes, rather than large hole,
such as an open window. That pre-
vents draughts, which cause chills and
coughs. The temperature of stable |
should be that of sitting-room or par
or; not over seventy degrees in sum-
ner, nor under forty-ive degrees in
winter. Hot, close or foul stables will
bring on CHAMBERS or Inflammation, |

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Grubs I'm Sheep,

Grubs IN the nasal cavities of sheep
are invariably to be attributed to the
working Of the gadfy. They deposit
their ova within the;nterior of the nos
trils, causing the sheep much pain and
annoyance. After a short time the ova
brings forth parasites in the larval
state, which, when capable of exercis-
ing all independent existence, undergo
the same evolutions as the bot parasite
they burrow deep into the ground,
and finally become metamorphosed in
TO the gadhy. With a view of prevent
ing the attacks of the gadfiy some
farmers smear the noses of their sheep
with tar. Others plow up piece of
land where the sheep are pastured, into
which they thrust their noses, and thus,
for the time being, battle the attack of
the gadhy. 1t is not considered pru-
dent to attempt, either by mechanical
or medical means, to dislodge the para
sites, as the remedy might prove much
worse than the disease. When the ova
have arrived at maturity. the sheep
themselves aid in the dislodgement by
acts ofsnorting, sneezing and coughing.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT,

Dost thou love life, then do not
squander time, for that is the stuff life
is made of.
The claims of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken.
The proper way to check slander is
to despise it; attempt to Overtake and
refute it, and it will outrun you.
People who do not care do not say
so. The soldier who is not afraid
never boasts that he fears no ball.
There is no happiness like that of
being loved by your fellow-ereatures,
and feeling that your presence is an
addition to their comfort.
Duty is a power which rises with us
in the morning and goes to bed with
us at night. 1t is cO-extensiYe with
the action of our intelligence.
The primary use of knowledge is for
such guidance of conduct in all circum-
stances as shall make living complete.

PremOnitiOn of Disasters.

husband was at sea, dreamed that his
fishing vessel was run into by steam

She asked what he meant, when he
said he had distinctly heard his father
come up stairs and kick with his heavy
boots against the door, as he was in
the habit Of doing when he returned
from sea. The boys statement and
her own dream so alarmed the woman
that early next morning she told Mrs

fears. News afterward came that her

Care of Early Chickens.

The very early broods, if they are

snow is gone and the ground is settled,
when protected from the FREQUENT oc-
curing blasts of northwest wind
chickens do well in good coops. The
great obstacles to successful chicken
rearing are the cold, chilly mornings
and the driving cold storms, which.
quite often in this latitude, come in the
form OF snow instead of rain. For
this reason l have found it much better
to keep the broods confined to the
buildings until able to withstand with
out injury the vieissitudes of weather
In May the cold is over, the air is soft
and balmy. and after the morning dews
have died away, the chicks are better
abroad than in the house. They pick
up various substances from the soil
the larvae of insects, and even beetles.
This affords exercise, and pleases the
appetite at the same time.
For the broods coops are now needed.
These should be made roomy and COM
Portable, and always he provided with |
floor to keep the chickens from The
