DIR. Bcddoes, an English physician of
great enthusiasm, had imibed the notion
that palsy could be cured by inhaling
nitrous oxide gas. He requested the
celebrated Sir Humphrey Davy to almin-
lister the gas to one of his patients, and
sent the man to him for that purpose. Sir
Humphrey put the bulb of the thermome-
ter under the tongue of the paralytic, to
ascertain the temperature OF the body, SO
that he might see whether 1t would be at
all affected by the inhalation of the gas.
The sick man, filled with faith from the
assurances of the ardent DR. Beddoes, and
supposinR that the Thermometer was a
remedy, declared at once that he felt bet
ter. Davy, DESTROYS of seeing how much
Imagination would do in such case, then
told him that enough had been done for
that time, and directed him to come next
day. The application OF the theome'
ter was made from day to day In the same
way, and in fortnight the man was
cured,

A Few words about Turkeys.

In the hands OF careful persona, breed
ing turkeys ia very profitable, but 1t Is
absolute essential TO success that they
have plenty of range; unlike other
poultry, turkeys require perfect liberty,
and oannot brook confinement. On
srass and grain farms raising turkeys
c. mot help being profitable, for they
have plenty of ground TO stroll over,
and there is but little they can ipjure,
while they help materially In keeping
down ins, cis On a fruit farm, where
grapes, sfr4 wberries, etc, are grown,
turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens are
all destructive 10 fruit, unless kept
within prescribed limit. Many far
mer's wife, and dauRhters too, know
that most of their pocket money depends
on rearing large fiack OF turkeys, and
there are many others who rear flock
each year. III commencing get pair
or trio of the best irrespective of breed,
though the pronz5 breed seems to be the
leading and most popular one, and de-
servedly 70, for they are hardy, grow
LARGE sizs, and invariably command
payi ing prices. Young turkeys are
hardy after taey got full dress OF suit
| feathers, but are very frail and tender
before that time, requiring graat care In
feeding md houaiI g, dampness being
fatal to them.

National Board of Health Dofuuct.


The national board Of health, which has
for several years had precarlous existence,
has at last bowed to the will Of Congress
and abandoned Its headquarters in this city.
The appropriations committee of the last
session OF Congress positively refused to
appropriate for the further maintenance OF
the board, consequently its secretary could
not under the law contract debts In the
shape of office rent, fuel, messenger service,
sc. The Acting Secretary OF the Treasury
has also called upon the president of the
board for return Of the government prop
erty used in the Office Of the defunct asso-
citation, and the desks, bookcases, bed
lounges, chairs, and other articles OF fur
niture will have to be accounted for to the
Secretary of the Treasury. A bountiful
supply OF fuel for the winter had also been
carefully stored away in the cellar of the
building formerly used by the board, but
recently, 1t is said, was removed, and 1t IL
not known whether It was returned to the
dealer who supplied 1t or not.
