It Pays Doctors to Cure.

"Do doctors ever practice on their patients?" The above ques- ton was asked of a prominent phy- sician. "The number of physi cians of sense and reputation" he replied, 6 who experiment on their patients is quite small. Indeed, I do not know such practitioner. There is very erroneous impress sion among the middle and lower classes of persons on this point. Nothing is more common than to hear some one say, Why, I could not think of going to a doctor. When they once get hold of you they'll never let gop No general statement could be further from the truth. It is to the best inter ests of a physician to cure the one upon whom he is in attandence, because every cure he effects in creases the confidence reposed in him. Almost every day some new disease or some hitherto unknown manifestation of disease is devel- oped in practice, and it is not surprising, therefore, that even the best equipped and most experi- enced doctor IS compelled to occa- slonally grope around in the mat eria medica before he finds the the proper remedy. But the sus picion of the desire for experiment ting is so uppermost in the mind of the average patient that it would be difficult to impose upon him, even if 1t was so desired.'
 'Do you think that medicine will eventually be able to success fully cope with every kind of di- sease?"
 "I am not at all certain about that But I would not put myself on re- cord as denying that such time may come. The practice of medi cine has undergone marvellous re- yoIutious since it's establishment Other equally wonderful revolu- tions are to come. While I believe that some methods will ultimately be discovered for arresting the progress of every disease, no mat ter how mortal as now considered, I do not put much confidence in the theory entertained in some quarters that anything can ever be done to replace part or organ of the human body, which has been actually deadened, destroyed or obliterated. For instance, it will not be possible to restore to vitality a lung vitiated by consumption, ol to supply a new gizzard in place of one consumed by a malady But if such things are within the realms of the possible, then there is no doubt that human life can be indefinitely prolonged."-Ex.

An exchange speaking of the management of hens, says: Each hen in a house should have one foot of space on the roosts. One hundred hens, then, would require four roosts twenty-five feet long, and to prevent the hens crowding too much upon the top roost, these should all be on the same level. The roosts should be one foot apart and be arranged in frame hinged to the wall, so they can be lifted and hooked up for the pur- pose of cleaning. The roosts will take up four feet and there should be eight feet more floor space. Thus a house for a hundred hens should be twenty-five by twelve feet on the floor inside. and should be at least six feet high in the rear and nlne feet high in the front, with ample ventilation,

A Clergyman InventS 8
 Cork screw.

COrkScreW.
 The Rt.-Rev. Mgr. Cluever, pas tor of Our Lady Help of Christians, has invented an automatic cork screw which is destined to become very popular. The invention is a simple one, and it is a wonder 1t was not thought of long ago. The corkscrew proper is connected within a tube, and is operated with bar or handle the same as an ordinary corkscrew. To this handle is spiral, which, as the corkscrew is operated, winds it. self into the covering of the tube, the same as a hose coupling is made. On either side of the tube is little clamp, operated with a spring, and In the interior is ano- ther spring, which is easily screw ed down as the corkscrew is turned. The mouth of the tube, which covers the corkscrew, is placed over the neck of the bottle from which the cork IS to be drawn. The screw is turned into the cork and the interior spring, which is very powerful, is pressed down ward at the same tune. When the screw is properly through the cork the side clamps are igtly pressed, the spring is released, and out comes the cork as neatly as could be wished,

When a new milch COW has her calf taken from her she will often hold up her milk, and especially so in the winter. It will require kindness and patience to overcome this habit. The operation of milk ing is pleasant for the animal, and if she given a mess of warm slops while being milked her attention will be so diverted that she will yield without remembering her calf. It is important to milk clean from the first, as retention of milk in the udder injures it and tends to decrease the yield. A fast but silent milker will take the milk when a fussy one will fail.

A contemporary holds that fowls as we'll as chicks become quar- relsome if fed on raw meat, and that cooking makes meat more nu- tritious. That when raw it Is rather harsh and crude compared with the more natural diet of worms and grubs, which are for the most part soft and easily digested. It is a mistake, however, to sup pose that cooked meet is either more digestible or more nutritious than raw. Experience points the other way.

peal says: ut may not be generally but

Adams narrowly escaped impeachment

impeachment, and when noses were
counted the friends of the measure found
they lacked two votes of having enough
to remove him from office, or rather two
they felt they could not wholly depend
upon, although they agreed to vote for
the removal of the Governor if the
charges were born out by the evidence.
With so close a vote, those in favor of
impeachment did not feel like taking the
risk, and as the matter was not fully con-
sidered until near the close of the session
it was not pushed. These articles of i'm
parchment were shown to several parties
outside of the Legislature and can be pro-
duced if called for by any of the Gov
errors friends.
