GapeS in Fowls.

The real cause OF gapes or pips In fowls
has not yet been fully decided. Allen at
tributes its origin to drinking dirty water,
and offers as a remedy the removing OF
the white blister which appears on the end
of the tongue, and wash with sharp vim
egar, diluled with warm water. A little
spirits of turpentine. mixed with the food,
is given as n preventative.
Dixon saws that gapes is an inflamma-
ton OF the respiratory organs, causing
chickens to cape for breath. caused by the
Young fowls running through wet grass,
or being exposed to showers. or bv the
mother leaving her brood and going to
roost. or in other words, attempting to
wean them while they are too young.
Wright believes the disease to be infec.
tious, at least epidemic. "Unless, per.
haps, thus communicated by others, il
never occurs except there has been foul
water, exposure to wet. and want OF nour-
ishing food, These diseases consists-at
least so far as symptoms extend-in a
small number of worms, which infest the
windpipe. and cause the chicken to gasp
tor breath. If taken early, it will be
sufficient to give every day morsel of
camphor the size OF grain of wheat in
meal. taking care OF the DEFICIENCIES in diet
and shelter be amended. In fully devel.
oped cases. the worms may be removed
by introducing loop of horse hair into
the trachea. and turning it around during
withdrawal; the operation to be repeated
several times till the worms appear to be
extracted"
A Quill, from which the feathers have

the worms. An advanced stage of the
gapes may be known by the chicken.

One writer says there is no easier way

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words meier be said
OF friend-till he is dead2
If you hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayerf
If you see the hot tears falling
From brothers weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness
All enriching as you go
Leave them. Trust the harvest Oliver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.

A Formal Call in Persia.

From the illustrated paper in the De-
cember Century by S. W. Benjamin, who
has just returned from the court of Per-
STA, where he was U. S. minister, we
quote the following "The manners of
the courtly occupant of this Teheran
mansion are guided by an etiquette that
is indeed "a law of the Modes and Per-
tians, which changeth not. The visitor
sends notice an hour or two previous To
calling. If the visit is one of Importance.
notice is sent the previous day. You will
go in a fashion suited to your social DO
sition and the rank of the host. Whether
on horseback or in a carriage, you will
be accompanied by number of mounted
attendants. As you approach the house,
servants, mounted or on foot, come forth
to meet your coming. A dozen attend
ants escort you to the reception-room.
According to your relative rank, the
host meets you at the foot of the stair
case, at the door, or at the upper part of
the room. The question of seats is one
also requiring the utmost circumspection
in observing the various shades of rank.
If your rank is superior to that of the
host, you are invited to occupy sofa
alone, at the upper corner, while the
host sits on a chair or on the floor at
your right. The left is more honorable
than the right in Persia. If of equal
rank, he occupies the sofa with you; but
If you are inferior, then the positions
are reversed. The upper corner of the
room is in any case the most honorable
position. If a number are present of
various ranks, each one knows his place
at glance. The passing of refreshments
is also matter of undertaking strictness,
the number and quality depending
upon the time of day and the character
OF the guest. The kalian, or water-pipe,
offers fine opportunity for display of
Persian manners. According to precept
and custom, a Mohammedan cannot
smoke the same pipe with a Christian,
and, except on rare occasions when the
host is man of progressive views, a
separate pipe is furnished for European
visitor But among Persians it is the GUS
tom for the highest in rank to receive
the pipe first, offering it to each in turn
before smoking himself For an inferior
to accept the offer is an incredible offense
against good manners. But each in turn
after this ceremony takes few whiffs at
the pipe, all taking care to eject the
smoke from the bowl before offering it
to the next The attendants on such an
occasion leave their shoes at the door
and retire backwards"
