value OF VEGETABLES.

According to the Medical Record.
asparagus is a strong diuretic and forms
part of the cure for rheumatism at such
health resorts as Aix-les. Bairs. Sorrel
is cooling. Carrots, as containing a
quantity of sugar, are avoided by some
persons, while others complain of them
as indigestible; in Savoy the peasants
have recourse to an infusion of carrots
as specific for jaundice. The large
sweet onion is very rich IN those alkaline
elements which counteract the poison of
rheumatic govt, and on being slowly
stewed in weak broth and eaten with a
little Nepaul pepper it proves an adj
mirable article of diet for patients of
studious and sedentary habits. The
stalks of caulifower have the same sort of
value. Lettuce is also to be mentioned
IN this connection; the plant has a slight
narcotic action of well. known value,
and when properly cooked is easy Of
digestion.

Sheltered and Unsheltered Pigs.

Ell cIIments made by Prof. +. NJ.
Shelton. Of the Kansas State Agrlcul-
turai College. shoNs that it pays to pro-
tect pigs. Ten animals as nearly alike
"a possible were kept, duIfng the last
two winters, in st arate pens, five IN the
basement of barn and five IN the yard
without covering save straw for beds.
They were fed with Indian corn twice a
d Y, each mess being carefully weighed.
The result wss as follows:

Or EXPRESSED in other words each bushel

Fed in the baro, made IL $40 lbs Of pork.
Fed OUTSIDE, - 97-IO
This shows that of every bushel of corn
fed TO the unsheltered pigs, an amount
capable of making 6 pounds OF pork
was used IN keeping the pigs warm. Ac-
cordiug to these figures, If the sheltered
pig gained 100 pounds III weight during
the ct ason. 1T was by the expenditure OF
80 pounds of corn for each pound OF
pork, or $50 pounds of corn for the
whole increase. Tbeupsheltered pig re-

Household Hints

OATMEAL cookies combine many good
qualities and will oe relshed by child
rem. Make them just like an ordinary
sugar cooky, using two-thirds oatmeal
and one-third wheat flour.
AN extremely simple way of ornaments
ing the square of flannel which you put
over baby in his carriage is to crochet "a
row of open work and small seallop on
the edge and run a bright ribbon
through the open spaces.
CRANBERRIEs make delicious filing
for a roly-poly pudding. Stew them,
using as little water as possible, so that
the juice will be thick and jelly-like:
sweeten and let the sauce boil for min
ute or two, but no longer, after the sug-
ar is put III.
CREAM fritters, as an entree with
roast beef and vegetables, are made lust
the same as if they were to be eaten
with syrup. The cream is gravy made
of butter and -four, with boiling water
poured over. A little sugar should be
added, and few drops of vanilla.
IF the family is very small and large
loaves CT bread are likely to become
stale before they can be eaten, it is a
good plan to make two little loaves for
one tin. They will keep their shape all
right, and will not run together or ad-
here any more than rolls of biscuits do.

care of COWS.

Cows which are to give milk through
the winter, says the American Agricul-
turlst, need to be fed with special care
at this time. If possible, the flow of
milk must not be permitted to decrease.
Mangels and sugar beets are excellent.
cut IN slices and sprinkled with bran.
The rule, that good feeding brings good
manure, should be kept in mind in a
ludicious care of farm animals during
the winter. Good feed in abundance is
not enough; it should be given with reg
ularlty. The habits of different animals
have to be studied, al d treated accord
lngly. Scarcely any two cows or horses
have the same appetites. 1t is impor-
tant to so mix and change the feed that
sameness may be avoided. A variety of
food encourages healthful digestion, and
upon this the profits of the owner large.

Treatment of Diubtheria

The new German remedy for diph-
liberia, turpentine, appears to have many
advocates. Children take one teaspoon
full morning and night, adults table
spoonful; in children tepid milk is given
after it. and it might also be mixed with
the same. Half an hour after the adj
ministration of the drug bright redness
begins to spread from the margin of the
diphtheritic oxidation, and this redness
becomes generally diffused over and
taking the place of the false membrane,
and the disease is said to disappear
within twenty-four hours without leav-
ing the slightest trace. While this re-
markable effect is said to be invariably
met with when the remedy is made use
of at the very commencement of the dis
ease, those who recommend it so highly
assert that it is also successful, only less
rapidly, II cases that have already pro-
crossed for several days.

Michigan's Richest Man

From the Northwestern Lumberman1
We often see going the rounds of the
press figures showing the wealth of
Americas rich men, but the name of
DR.. David Ward is never among them.
His modesty, in this age of the world. is
certainly curiosity. In early life Mr..
Ward saw the possibilities of wealth that
were locked up in the Michigan forests.
and invested every dollar he could spare
in pine lands. He nowowns 2. 200, 600.
O0O feet OF standing pine in Michigan
and Wisconsin, fully three-fifths of it
being the cork variety ans the balance
mostly bull sap. 1t is said all told he
does not own 100000 feet of Norway.
Ask any lumberman who is acquainted
with the Michigan pineries who owns
the choice pine of that state, and he will
answer DIR. Ward. On the head water
of the Manistee he has rich possessions
of cork pine. For many years he has
been engaged directly or indirectly,
more or less in the manufacture of lum-
Der; we believe he has never numbered
a tract OF land except when timber upon
it was imperlled by fire from the opera
tons of his neighbors. For much of
his sap and bull-sap pine he has been
offered S. per NJ, and from SIS to So per
NJ, for his cork. Without doubt, his
Michigan and Wisconsin pine is worth,
atcurrent prices, Sl5, 600, 200. This, how
ever, by no means measures the extent
of his possessions. He owns valuable
hard wood and mining lands which, we
believe, will swell the above amount to
$25. 900, 900. Not a cent of this colossal
fortune has been obtained in the whirl.
pool of destructive speculation. The
possessor of it has been content to wait
year after year, and work as steadily as
the mechanic does who earns his daily
bread. To-day he is as fun-loving as
any boy and nearly as spry as any of
them.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.



Close by the chimney, on Christmas eve,
Are huddled two tiny forms;
The rafters ereak and the windows Shrek
And the night is Wild with storms
lis lonely night. for the specter doubt
Has entered a childish breast,
And faith tonight must be lost in sight,
And the spirit laid at rest.
care you sure he'll come ~ says a tiny voice;
!" Oh, say You are certain quite
On, what could we do if il shouldn't be true,
And nobody came tonight ~
But the sweeter tones of a childish trust
Break in on the others doubt;
Oh. never you fear you'll him here
When the midnight bells ring outn
Perhaps they TOLD us a story, though,
Yol see we're such little BOYS:
should feel so bad If / thought they had,
That I'd hate the Christmas toys.
DO you think he'll care for the wind and rain
They say he's getting old
with that hesvy pack on his poor hump back
And the night is so very cold !"
" tell you the reindeer brings him here
And the load OF toys Is light;
dls coat is warm, and he laughs at storm;
know he'll come tonight.
Ihere never can be doubt, say,
oh, never cause to fear
Our watch wen keep while the others sleep,
And we're SURF to see him here"
But the minutes drag, and the small heads droop
When soft through the parlor door
Two shadows creep, while the bright eyes sleep
For the bold night-watch is DER.
They cram the stockings with loads of toys
And then, with steathy tread
1hey hit each form in its nightgown warm,
And put the watchers to bed

THE FIDDLER.
BY DORA READ GooDALF,

A halting man in rusty coat,
BY sixtv winters se9med and bent,
Still drawing thin and slry note
From out battered instrument.
Beside the kitchen chimney place.
Whose generous Yule log dickers wide,
A link with lost and lavished DAYS,
lie tastes the cheer of Christmas-tide
The mug of cider emp.ied thrice,
he lights bis pipe and tips bis chair,
And once again, with narrowed eyes,
He plays the swift, fantastic air.
1t guides the boy without. who nings
To left and right the clotted snow,
Or snatches at the tune, and sings,
And, hand on latch, forbears to go.
It serves the masters jest, perchance,
The girlish laughter in the hail.
Or leads the light and scattered dance,
rythmic measures rise and fall.
And through the cracking hemlock boughs,
The lissing of the lighted tree,
IT ROUNDS the humming of the house
To fuller mirth and gayety.
To him, the clashing strains repeat
The hollow music of the past;
He pipes to greet the rushing sleet
And whistles to the empty blast.
Across the worn and creaking strings
He feels gided passion GLOW,
ss young 20 yonder boy who brings
The Christmas message through the snow,

Death in the Dress-COat.
From the New York World

A prominent physician said recently
that the Italian opera is increasing the
death rate. He had attended a score of
cases of pneumonia brought on by ex-
posture in dress coats. Men take off
their heavy business suits in the even
ing and go to the opera with their
breasts covered only by a few folds of
linen. They rush out heedlessly between
the acts, stand in the drsughts of the
doors, or run out to the nearest cafe
The next day they are in bed. The
dress-coat prescription is one to be taken
with the greatest care In this climate.

Women and Life Insurance.
DR.. Hammond's impeachment of the
Truthfuluess of Women Effectually Con.
tradicted.
NEW York Tribune.1


Dir. William A. Hammond declares in the
current number of the North American Re-
view that life insurance companies refuse
women's lives because they cannot depend
upon what women say with reference to
themselves. "On account Of woman's ina
biity to be exact in regard to her age, the
diseases she may have had, her mode of life,
and other matters in which exactness is re-
quired, life insurance companies decline to
issue policies to her." DR.. Hammond fur
ther explains that though woman abhors
falsehood, she does not understand the
necessity of being exact in the Ordinary al
fairs of everyday life She tells her physi-
clan, for instance, that she has eaten moth
ing for a month"; and if pressed as to wheth-
or she means what she says, replies that re-
ally she 'eats nothing at ALL and IL still fur
