Fixing the Door.

There was crack under the kitchen
door-a crevice large enough for one to
put hand under-and early in Novem-
Der Mrs. Crispo began saying:
"Now, Crispo, don't let this day pass
without mailing down a cleat to stop
that crevice. 1t will let in more coal
this winter than two tons of coal can
drive out" ... ...
And Crispo began replying:
Certainly, my dear-certainly. That
crevice shall be stopped this very day."
On fifteen different occasions in No
vember she reminded him of the fact
that he had forgotten the crevice. In
December the number of occasions was
twenty. During the month of January
she spoke of it twenty-five times. In
February she began referring to the
matter at each meal, and the other day
she nailed him down with the remark:
"Crispo, | am going down town, and
I'll stop on my way and ask carpenter
to come up and fix that door"
"ru fix it."
"No you won't! You just let it alone.
I'll have a carpenter here before night,
and that door will be fixed"
II say I'll fix it myself-right away
now and in five minutes he had saw
and hammer and cleat and was at the
job.
Mrs. Crispo went off chuckling over
her victory, and upon her return her hus-
band said:
"Well, the old crevice is shut up"

The Earthquake Sensation.

All who have related from actual ex-
perience how an earthquake feels, agree
in describing the sensation. as one of
OF peculiar sickening fright and despair,
as II 1.-The bottom had fallen out of the
world and the whole universe was going
to pieces. In travels in Peru and
Mexico" the writer gives Juan Rom
eros story Of recent terre-moto in the
equatorial Sierras, from which he and his
cattle were sufferers.
At the first warning rumble in the
ground, himself and his family and his
workmen all quilted their occupations
and ran to the middle of an open field.
''But before we reached this.'' he
says, ''the earth trembled violently be-
meath our feet and we were all thrown
to the ground.
We were all, however, soon on our
feet again, and in position of compare
tive safety where we could watch the eff
fects of the earthquake upon the animals.
These all stood motionless with their
legs stretched out and their heads bent
down almost to the ground, one or two
of the cattle moaning
"a second shock was very different,
During the first one we seemed to be
drawn or pushed from side to side: but
now we felt, for minute or more as if
some weight were pressing us to the
ground, and Immediately after this as
light as if we were all ascending into the
air, showing that the shock was in the
first case horizontal, and in the second
in perpendicular direction"
Of his own feelings, Mr.. Romero said
that he experienced kind of terror hard
to describe. "My first sensations were
dread that the earth was about to open
and bury everything within its bosom.
But what | felt after this was not like
the fear of death which have expert
enced in other cases. / have faced the
bayonet and stood before the lannon's
mouth, and cannot say altogether with
out fear of human enemies who, one
might suppose, experienced the same
unpleasant sensations. as oneself. The
prospect of death, however, is generally
accompanied by hopes of the future; but
during an earthquake the reason is sub
dued and my predominant feeling was
that we were utterly lost. 1t seemed as
if all nature was about to expire; and
for an hour or two after the shocks there
was the same appearance of dread among
the whole party.
Given the beasts stood for some time
in the position which they had taken
during the shocks, and required patting
and reassuring before they would move"

New Ways Of Curing Consumption.

A good story is told of a well-known
Boston physician who was much
puzzled to know how to treat consump-
ton. Learning that the disease was
unknown among the lumbermen of
Name, he instituted an inquiry as to
diet and habits of the wood-choppers.
To his surprise he found that their chief
diet was salt pork, and their principal
drink was whisky, whereupon he pre-
scribed pork and whisky for his Boston
consumptive patients, not, however,
with happy results. The real secret of
the immunity of the lumberman was
that he lived in the pine woods and had
abundant exercise in the open air.
Two Paris physicians, MN. de Bore and
Beaumetz, have invented stem of
treating consumption which is sad to
be quite successful. 1t consists in q
practice styled Experimentation
which is not only overlooking but
forced feeding by means of pumps and
other appliances. 1t is found that pa
tients who can not retain food in their
stoma his in the ordinary way are not
Inconvenience when literally immense
quantities of food are introduced into
the system by pump. The diet is
composition of minced lean meat, which
is dried and then pounded into pow
der. 1t is then mixed with milk or
bOuillon, and sometimes raw eggs are
added. This is found to be highly nu-
tritious and easily digested, and has
proved efficacious in hysteria and other
wasting diseases as in consumption. for
which ii was first devised. The first
dose given is not more than twenty-five
grammes per meal, but the quantity is
gradually and rapidly increased until
the large portion of six hundred
grammes is daily given. which is equiv
alent to about four pounds of lean meat
How large this quantity really is shown
by the fact that one pound of meat is
quite sufficient for an ord nary working
man, and two litres of milk and several
eggs are required in the administration
of the dose. The report is that the con-
sumptives, if not too far gone, have
rapidly gained in weight under this
process, their daily average increase
having ranged from eighty to one hun
dred grammes. The cough is less FREE
ouent, and the lungs begin to heal I'M
der this forced flooding, which, it is
added, works as well in dyspepsia as in
phthisis, never producing nausea or
vomiting, the food being passed down
the throat without any objection on the,
part of even historical women. No
doubt the experiments of these French
physicians will soon be tested in this
country. -DemOrescS Monthly.

Ned, the Children's Dog.

Everybody in Midway, Ky, knows
old 'Ned," the children's dog. He
formerly belonged to the late Mrs. Mar
garet Buford, but as there were no
children at her house he came to town
and took up his abode at Mr.. S. N.
Rogers. He goes to school with the
children every morning and remains
there all day. When they 90 out to
play he goes, too, and is quite expert at
catching a ball; indeed, in a game, he
takes the place of child. When the
bell rings he is the first to run into the
school-house, and when the classes are
called up to recite he takes his place in
line at the foot. After the child next
above him has recited, he answers the
next question by an intelligent bark and
bow of the head. Should a question be
missed by the child at the fobt of the class
and passed to the next by the teacher,
Ned" will answer it in his peculiar
way. Spelling seems to be his favorte
branch of study, his answers in that be-
ing exceedingly quick and vigorous.
Although he turns the children down,
after his fashion, he never goes above
them. He will tight for any of the pupils,
as well as teachers, and could not be in
duced to stay where there are no child

A New Firemen's Device.


The Milwaukee Wisconsin is proud
and happy in the belief that if the New
hall House fire was to occur again there
would be little loss of life, because the
tiremen of that city, taught by mis-
fortune, have become experts in The use
of all sorts of fire-escapes. One scheme
in particular recommends itself to every
one of imagination and experience.
The plan in Il future emergency will be
TO shoot ramrods, with string attach
ments, into the windows of the burning
hotels. The only drawback to the
practical execution of this idea is that
y terrified guest, standing in a window
shrieking for help, will be very much
surprised and not immeasulably tran
quilted or treasured, on finding himself
suddenly transfxed with three-fooe
ramrod and coil of string. And, unless
the firemen of Milwaukee become vastly
better marksmen than the police usually
are, the probability is that not a window
in the hotel will be broken, while the
streets will be full of bowling firemen
and weeping citizens pulling ramrods
out OF each other. PhiladeLphtG Press.

enormous envelope of matter, greatly
exceeding in bulk the visible sun and in

constitution of this great envelope of the
sun is, how far it extends earthward,
how it is affected by outbursts in the

it plays in the SUMS influence upon his

Feeding for Eggs, not Fat.

The feeding of whole corn and nothing
else through the winter makes weak
fowls in the spring. Fowls will not lay
so well when thus fed. Corn makes too
much fat, and after a certain amount
has been made disease is probable. This
condition comes on when the hens should
be prepared for laying the spring eggs.
AS the warm season approaches the
torpid state produced by cold weather
begins to wear off, and the birds begin
to look about them with more activity.
If the fowls have been kept too high on
whole corn. the fact will now appear.
Excess of fat produces excess of heat,
and the unnatural heat weakens the in
ternal organs to so great an extent that
they are unable to perform their required
offices.
From this cause oftentimes fowls are
found dead on the nest, or beneath the
roost. The fowls may have appeared all
right the day before, for only close OBJ
server would discover anything amiss.
The laying organs have been weakened,
and in many instances destroyed by
the heat and fat, being crowded and
cramped by it. Frequently the eggs
escape into the body and are not laid
in the nest. This does not cause death
so suddenly as the other phase where
the eggs remain in the oviduct. In this
case the fowl is active, goes on and off
the nest with the usual CHEEKY cacklo,
but leaves no egg. The hen appears
hearty and well, but may be found dead
twenty-four hours later, to all appear
ances sound, fat fowl. The fowl was
too fat; that is the difficulty.
This latter case is more frequently met
with in pullets when first coming into
laying. When the weather is warm,
and the fowls are running at large, the
trouble may be removed by reduction
or change of food. During the cold
months their food should be varied, and
production stimulated and kept up
as much as possible. 1t is the business
of hen after full grown to produce
eggs, and she will do it when running
abroad in mild weather. For this reason
poultry keepers should give in winter
both animal and vegetable food, allow
ing only scant ration of corn once a
day. Other grains may be fed more
freely, and with good results. Cor.

in little open space In the valley, laid
my game sack, gun and ammunition at
the foot of tree near the trail and went
down to get drink OF the creek below.
While was sitting on the bank resting
and looking for trout which were quite
plentiful there, heard noise behind
me and looking up to where l had left
my gun and trappings saw an old grizzly
smelling of my gun, which fell over.
Well, sir, you'd hardly believe me, that
animal had been following me to get
that gun. He sat down beside 1t, licked
the barrel and caressed it. In fact the
old rascal appeared to be delighted with
it. felt kind of queer and uneasy and
kept still. The old fellow picked up the
rifle and actually hugged it to his breast.
Then he came to a Support arms, and
you may believe me or not, he held the
gun out in his two forepaws at as pretty
"present arms" as any of our boys in
the guards could do. That was the only
bear saw, and didn't kill him because
he got the drop on me.
