MANKIND's HYGIENIC MISTAKES
Health Journal. 1T is mistake to labor
when you are not in fit condition to do so.
To conclude that the smallest room in the
house is large enough to sleep in.
TO think that the more person eats the
healthier and stronger he viii become.
To take of. proper clothing out of season
because you have become heated.
To imagine that if little work Or exer-
else is good, violent and prolonged exercise
is better.
To think that any nostrum or patent
medicine is specific for all diseases flesh
is heir to.
To go to bed at midnight and rise at day
break, and imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained
To believe that children can do as much
as grown people, and that the more hours
they study the more they can learn.
To eat as if you only had minute to
finish the meal in, or to eat without ap-
petite, or continue after it has been satisfied,
merely to satisfy the taste.
To imagine that whatever remedy causes
one to feel Immediately better-as alcoholic
stimulants-is good for the system without
regard to after effects.

Poultry.

By this time the poultry keeper should
have decided in his mind just how much OF
stock he intends to carry over or through
winter, and it will be much better to fatten
and sell this month the surplus than to keep
it over for the Christmas holidays for II not
as high price will be realized now, If the
cost of the longer keeping is considered II
will be readily admitted it is wise to dispose
of the surplus at once. From ten to fifteen
days are enough to fatten fowls for market.
They should be kept by themselves IN as
small space as possible. The morning
feed should be given early and should con-
sist of corn meal mush, made the same as
for the table, and then after it is cooked,
wheat middlings should be stirred in until
the mush is free from sickness and Will
crumble we'll. Every other day add to each
two quarts of food tablespoonful OF
pulverized charcoal; at noon feed meal,
leaving out the mlddlings, and instead aoo
all the table scraps you can get and some
finely chopped cabbage; at night feed corn
and little buckwheat Every other Gay

it's natural size. Give no drink until AFTER
they have eaten all the food they will; milk
is best if you can spare it. Never feeo any
thing for at least twelve hours before XIII
ing and the last feed then should 20 soft
food. Celery tops impart gamey haVor
to the meat. Fowls thus treated will fatten
very rapidly and the flesh be tender anu
: juicy. There should always be an open
shed facing the south with the other side
boarded up, and board foot wide across
the front at the bottom, and in this shed,
= during the winter months, in inclemen
weather, and when the ground is covered
with ice or snow, leaves should be scattered
D loosely and grain thrown in for the fowls to
hunt after. Be liberal in feeding, for you
e can rest assured there is nothing made or
r poorly fed fowls. Poultry require if they
: are desired to be profitable, little more
d food than merely enough to keep them from
: starvation. The more they eat the more
;, eggs and meat they will furnish. Let me
D once again remind the reader here that il
e the fowls commence the winter IN COCA
d condition, and are kept in that way, and are
e in any but freeze-to-death quarters, they
will lay during the coolest weather Let
It every farmer keep strict account, debtor
o and credit, with his fowls, commencing any
J. time in the year, and he will find, at the
+? regular market prices, every hen will clear

a which is more than worth her food.

In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead

the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works OF millions,
the American continent is fist beng
transformed from its untarned state and
being placed on an equality with TIE older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,

fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course Of years these very elements nay

GOOD RULEs.-The following rules are
common place enough, but we can assure
our readers that if they will observe every
one OF the rules, they will be anything but
commonplace men and women:
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Ifyou have place of business be found
there when wanted.
No man can get rich sitting around stores
and saloons.
Have order, system regularity, and also
promptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you know
nothing of.
Pray as you 60.
A man Of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Help others, but never give what you
cannot afford to, simply because it is fash
ionable to'give.
Learn to think and act for yourself.

A New Anecdote Of Alex. Stephens.

Perhaps there never was a man SO trail
in body, but so full of humor as Alex. Ste.
phens. We had to set up his great speech
es before end after the war, made in the
old capitol of Georgia, and he always want
ed to read his proof sheets, not with great
success either. He was abad speller and
a worse proof-reader. After his famous
speech in MiIledgeville, just before seces-
sion, he got the writer to bring him the
proof sheets to his room in the Milledge-
vile Hotel. We found him and his brother
Linton alone Mr.. Stephens had cane
pipe stem in his mouth, the pipe resting on
the water stand six feet to the front. As
we entered he politely beckoned us to a
seat, and invited US to take pipe, shorter
than the one ne was putting at. After a
few preliminaries we remarked; "Mr
Stephens, this is the grandest effort of your
life, but l can't see how you and Mr..
Toombs can be friends, politically, any
longer. l would be proud to be able to
father such speech as yours, it would send
me to Congress. Said Mr.. Stephens in
reply, "Young man, if you want to go to
Congress, learn to sing some good SONGS
1t has been my great misfortune to have
no music in tongue. If | could sing
songs like Crack back Dayy. daddy shot a
bar, shot him in the eye-ball, never touch
bar; and Old King Cole, and Clar de
Kitchen. ETC., etc., could be president Of
this probable disrupted nation" We were
so amused at the pleasantly Of the great
man and so lost to bui mess that we cut of

For want of labor. Not they. Because it

it is too high. Why stop Because
