 PIGGERY.
 The present extensive piggery, hastily erected, as would seem and to meet a tempo rary purpose, appears to me very faulty in location and design, being exposed to the rake of cold winds and so situated that it's fowage after heavy rains must go to the pol lution of the near stream. To make the mat ter still worse a screen of luxuriant wood which grew upon the southern border of the brook and which shut off from the plateau above (the probable site of the new aims houses) all views of the piggery and it's courts, with their piles of garbage, and which intercepted to certain degree the reek of their odors, has been cut away and the ray ages of a herd of two or three hundred hogs forbid all regrowth of the wood and work deflement to the whole current of the brook. I would advise that the swine house be re- moved eventually to location north by west of the present one, near to that designated on the larger map, where substantial basement walls of masonry in the flank of the hill will of them selves secure shelter and warmth, and in con nection with which-if the present system of consuming the town offal is pursued range may be given to herd upon the hill land in the rear, where orcharding will find a proper place under the lee of the woodland to the north.

The PEI Cr0c0diIe.

When Herodotus was IN Egypt about
$50 years before the Christian era, the
following was the way in which this
formidable reptile was taken prisoner:
There are many ways of catching
crocodiles IN Egypt, but the following
seems to be best worth relating. The
huntsmaa puts the chine of a pig as "A
bait on hook, and lets it down into the
river. In the meantime he takes his
station on the bank, holding a young
pig, which he beats in order to make it
squeal out. The crocodile, on hearing
this, makes toward the sound, but meet
ing with the bait on his way, he swallows
it down. Then the men begin to pull,
and after he is fairly hauled out on dry
land, the first thing the huntsman does
is to plaster the crocodile's eyes up with
mud. If he can succeed in doing this
there is no difficulty in managing the
beast; otherwise it is very troublesome
affair.
The different treatment which this
monster received in different parts of
ancient Egypt is curious, and not very
easily accounted for. In the southern
parts, near the cataracts, the crocodile
was an article of food, but probably
only with a particular caste, as in Don
COLA at the present day. In other parts,
as the Thebes and near the great Lake
Keroun, it was fashionable to have pet
crocodile, who was fed daintily and
treated with great respect. They put, :"
said Herodotus, pendants of glass and
gold in their ears, and rings round their
fore-legs; they also give them regular
allowance of bread and meat, and take
all possible care of them while alive
When they die the Egyptians embalm
them and put them in sacred sepul-
chres." Fortunately for the credit of
Herodotus, mummy of crocodile has
been found with his ears pierced for
pendants, which fact is particularly
mentioned by NJ. Geoffroy st. Hilaire -
Strabo tells an odd story of a crocodile
which he saw when he visited Egypt.
somewhat more than 400 years after the
visit of Herodotus. I'm this district
they honor the crocodile very much, and
they have sacred one which lives in the
lake by itself, and is quite tame to the
priests. He is called Suchus, and is fed
with bread, and meat, and wine, which
he gets from strangers who come to see

little cup of some sweet liquor. We
found the crocodile lying on the margin
of the lake. The priests went upto him,
and while some opened his mouth, another
crammed into it, first the cake. then
the meat, and last of all, poured the
drink down his throat. The crocodile,
after this treat, jumped into the lake.

Mater Raths


II take a sponge bath Of cold salt
water every morning Is it healthyl IL
1t better to use fresh water?"
There is no reason TO believe that, for
ordinary bathing purposes, salt water is
any better than fresh. The salt is not
absorbed, and if it were, we take it more
conveniently with our food. Nor does
it have any particular effect on healthy
skin.
The uses of water, as applied to the
surface of the body, are % to cleanse it;
CD to equalize the calculations; CD to
lessen the susceptibility of the skin to
changes of temperature
The first object that of cleansing
Is accomplished by either cold or warm
fresh water and soap Cleansing with
soap once, or at the most twice a week,
is often enough, for the clothing absorbs
the larger part of the impurities emitted
by the pores. Too frequent bathing,
especially with soap. removes the scarf
skin too rapidly, and unduly exposes the
nerves which ramify on the surface.
Good authorities believe that in many
cases the nervous system has been in
jured in this way
The second obiect-to equalize the
circulation accomplished by miners
ing the body for short time in hot
water, by means of bath-tub Essen
tally the same thing is secured by the
vapor bath This brings the blood
strongly to the surface and to the ex
tremities of the body, thus relieving any
pressure on the internal organs and sootn-
ing the system generally.
This plain hot bath may be used for
cleansing purposes. but it is specially
suited to the occasional needs of the fee
BILE and to the first stage of a cold. At
ter the bath the body should be wiped
quickly, and the person should pass at
once, without any exposure, to a warm
bed Half pint of water. drank as hot
as can be easily borne, is helpful, es-
pecially in case of cold. or if the per-
son has been In any way chilled.
The third object that of lessening
the susceptibility of the skin to changes
of temperatures accomplished by the
cold sponge-bath. Here quickness is es-
sential. The sudden application of cold
contracts the capillaries and sends the
blood from the surface This is followed
by reaction which relaxes and dilates
the capillaries. bringing back the blood
with increased force,
The cold bath is not safe for persons
suffering from heart complaint, nor for
such as are so feeble that the reaction
does not readily occur. This reaction
will show itself in glow on the suaface
of the skin and in feeling of warmth
The bath should be followed by brisk
rubbing of the body with a coarse towel.
