AT this season fowls beginning to lay
are liable to have eggs frozen if not
looked after carefully. The henhouse
should be warm enough to keep out
much of the cold, but many eggs will
be laid outside by the active breeds of
fowls. The loss of the eggs by freezing
Is less than the damage it auses by
teaching fowls 20 eat their eggs This
bad habit is usually formed early in the
season, from fowls pecking at eggs
cracked by frost. When a hen learns
this trick she should be killed at once,
as she will soon teach others the same
habit and the value of the entire flock
will be destroyed.

he leaned over the pickets and saw train

looked on to see him follow the course :oi
his property in mad resolution to rescue
it. A small boy on the roadway opposite
saw his plight, leaped from his wagon,
mounted the fence, picked up his hat and
handed it to the owner.
The red-faced man simply said, "Thank
you," and resumed his way. "Never go
for lost hat yourself" he observed to
acompanion. "During long experience
Ihave uniformly observed a principle iu

LAMAR'S HABITS.

good story about Senator Lamar has
leaked out lately. AS is well known, the
senator is IN day dream half his time.
He is the most courteous of men, but,
when he is wool gathering he walks
along, saluting his best friends with q
stony stare, and answering questions at
random. One day some time ago, as Mr.
Ellis, of Louisiana, was sitting in his coui-
mittee room at the capitol, Mr.. Lamar
walked in. He approached Mr.. Ellis, and,
seating himself, said in his grave and
gentle way:
Ellis, don't believe you like me'
"No," said Mr. Ellis, Il don't"
Why not?" asked Mr. Lamar.
Well,' said Mr.. Ellis, "when l first
came here you led me to believe you were
my friend. You seemed to take an in
terest in me as new member, and felt
IGNORED by your regard. Lately you
have hardly spoken to me. l pass yoh
and you don't look at me- dislike ycu
very much"
"But, Ellis" said the senator, "you
know it's my way"
81 don't care" said Mr.. Ellis. "It's
bad way"
"My dear fellow" said Mr.. Lamar,
throwing his arms around Mr.. Elis's neck,
"the next time you see me in the bad
way just come up and punch me in the
ribs Now, promise me, and let's be
friends"
Mr.. Ellis promised him, and they are
friends.

A WINTER CLIMATE HAS ITS
FAULTS.
philadelphia Press.

This brings me to speak about my ex-
perience of the climate of Manitoba. The
variations of temperature are very great.
| have seen the thermometer stand at l25
degrees inside a tent in summer, and at
So degrees below zero, or 80 degrees be-
low freezing point, outside the house in
winter. Such Arctic cold would be un-
endurable if the air were not so wonder
fully dry and clear, and often very still,
that it does not seem half as cold as it
really is. Then the changes of weather
are not generally very sudden; the heat
and cold are very regular, and in mid
seasons the thermometer does not tiuctu-
ate much.
The snow outside cur house is from six
to ten feet deep from November to April.
Moccasins, made by Indians of moose
skin, are used instead of shoes to cover
the feet, which are first cased in several
pairs of stockings.
We were forced to melt snow for all
the water We used last winter. The cold
is 80 intense that when melted snow wa
ter is poured from the boiler into a pail,
and taken at once across to the stable, the
ice on it frequently has to be broken with
d StiOh OChOIC CuC CoCClc Cdu UTILk. III Is
rather common sight to see people part
ly frozen. The part affected turns as
white as marble, and loses all feeling.
Unless you see yourself in glass, or are
told of it, you are not conscious of being
frozen. In this plight it is best not to 60
near fire, as sudden thawing is very
painful. People generally try friction,
rubbing themselves with snow, or, better
still, with paratfine OIL Occasionally,
when one is frozen, and far from help, the
part frozen, if an extremity, will snap off,
Last year man living about thirty miles
from us was told that his ear was frozen );
he put his hand suddenly to feel, and the
ear dropped off in his hand. Limbs some
times have TO be amputated from severe
frost bites. My kittens ears froze and
broke off last winter, and a neighbours
pony lost it's ears IN the same way.
l was surprised when first found the
mustard freeze in my mustard pot, which
stood foot from the kitchen stovepipe
and two feet above the stove, where there
was blazing fire all day and every day
through the winter Yet the mustard
froze between every meal. To woman
