If you give to a healthy maj of
twenty, who has never tasted it, eth
er a cup Of tea or coffee. it will keep
him awake all night. If you give one
who has never drank fermented or dis
titled liquors, a glass Of beer, wine OF
weak whisky and water, it will make
him more or less dizzy, and perhaps
give him a headache. If you persuade
one who has never smoked to try a
cigar, it will probably nauseate him,
and for a time make him severely sick.
Now, what is the conclusion from
these facts? Simply that tea, coffee
fermented and distilled liquors and
tobacco are in their nature medicinal
are, in brief, drugs, and that, at least
while the body is growing, while it
still has a superabundence of vital
force, it does not need either the pre-.
sentative properties of tea or coffee, OF
the digestive and tonic ones of wine,
beer or brandy, or the soothing powe,
Of tobacco, to keep it in health and
well being; but that, on the contrary.
when the youthful system is IN its nat.
ural state and either is offered it, dis.
tnrbancc, more or lees pronounced, is
the result.
What terrible responsibility, then.
do mothers and fathers incur who
from babyhood allow their little chill.
dren to drink tea or coffee,-nay, be.
fore the little things think Of asking
for it., tempt them to sip it out OF

high to low, are always anxious to be
in fashion. They will dress theil
children as nearly as possible like the
little a%ristocrats of Beacon street and
Fifth avenue, and why will they moi
feed them also as the little "swells'
are fed? A Beacon street mothe,
would be Mortified at the thought OF
giving young children either tea OF

bread and butter. form the principal
diet of these rich children who look SO

A prominent Methodist clergyman
tells the following story Of an old Bap

introduce baptism into his sermons
whatever his text might he. The ole
gentleman was asked one day If h,

He said he could, and would, If the,

reads as follows: "And this is tn,

Poultry Houses.

To begin ii b the houses must not
only be air-tigh6, but be heated by the
sun or artificial heat. The building NAV
be a ~lean-to, fronting the south or south
west, with windows in front; or made
with a roof having a long slope on the
south side, with an ordinary greenhouse
sash to six feet, and q short slope of roof
at the rear. Such IL house may have the
rear walls five feet ind the front ones
three to four feet high, while the peak of
the roof is only seven. This affords
standing room for u man, doors five feet
high at one end, and in the partitions
ample room for roosts, nests, etc. The
perches should be as near the centre of
the space in the rOosting room as posi-
BILE, as they are thus out of the way of
draughts. Let the perches be low, snv
two ana a half feet high, or even two
feet would be better. Proper means
should be taken to ventilate the house,
and dust baths, ETC., j%udiciously placed
in convenient places. The f1oor should
be made Of plank, stone or cement, but
the lest possible article is sifted coal
ashes, levelled, wet and pounded hard,
say three inches in depth. The wood
work ought to be made of planned stuff,
so that it can be painted in the Joints
when put up, which fills up the cracks,
and greatly reduces the hiding places Of
vermin. Painting will not interfere with
the subsequent whitewashing. Double
glazed sashes arc essential, for in moder-
ately cold weather the moisture from the
breath of the fowls does not deposit on
these as on singlc-glazcd sashes, where it
not only gathers, but aftcrward drips.
In the roosting room about two and a
half feet is required for each fowl, and q
room equally as large for a feeding room
in winter, with a good run in a sunny,
sheltered yard.
