effectiveness. Although the name is
recent the thing itself is old, and
quite well known in its effects. So
DR.. & uye has occupied himself, not
with its effects, but with its causes.
1t is curious thing that the nose is
one of the causes of aprosexie. This
organ is decidedly III favor at this
moment 1t is not long ago that we
saw the great role that it was made to
play sometimes rightly. but some
times also wrongly, by irtue of ex-
aggerated and hasty CONGRATULATIONS
in the production of certain dyspne as.
Now it is question of its psychology
ical influence.
Aprosexie. in the cases cited by
Guye, appears 10 be due to q greater
or less obstruction of the nasal fosse,
which forces the patient to breathe
through the nose, thus giving the face
an expression of little intelligence. as
we all know.
The following are the cases report.
ed by the Amsterdam scientist: The
first is that of a young boy. unable to
breath through the nose, or to learn
any thing whatever. Guye extirpated
the adenoid tumors from his nasal
fosse, and the child, in eight days,
knew his entire alphabet, while at thsa
date of the operation he knew but the
three first letters of it. The second
case concerns a man of twenty, W
from the age of eight, was troublX
with buzzing in the ears. and was AZ
tackled with vertigo whenever he
worked. After the same operation,
mental labor became easy and profit
able. The third case is that of a medic
al student, which presented analo-
gous symptoms. The cure was effected
by the same method.
How is the influence of these nasal
troubles upon the cerebral functions
to be explained Dr. Guye supposes
that they prevent the cerebral lymph
from circulating freely, whence the
origin of conditions unfavorable for
the brain. 1t is by analogous troubles
that certain headaches are explained,
and it is by the same operation that
Dr.. Guye treats them. He believes in
partial aprosexies referable to differ
ent studies, and he has observed one
that was limited to mathematics. -

HOW TO RAISE PIGS.

A Return to Old-Fashioned Methods
Strongly Recommended.
There was much in the system OF
swlne-growing quarter of a century
ago that was commendable, and can
still be practiced by many with profit.
One of these conditions was to give
the sow while in farrow the run of
timber lands--with little grain.
when short mast made it necessary
to keep her in good flesh. She was
allowed to select her own place to far
row and left there till the pigs could
travel to convenient quarters. Dur
ing this time care was taken to feed
the sow properly to insure d strong
flow of milk, quantity being preferred
to quality. 3s
There are many farmers on broken
lands who have timber hillsides, and
can give. their. brood sows just such
surroundings. 1t may be that these
men struggle and plan every year to
shelter their cows in modern houses
when they can not do any better, if as
well, as they would do in the woods.
There is much in modern improve
ments connected with swine growing
that would be best for good per
cent, of small breeders not to aspire
to.
Extravaganza marks the work of too
many--extravagance in teed, shelter
and carelessness, which is the worst of
extravaganza.
But few common farmers need ex-
pensive houses, and believe they are
in most cases detrimental, rather than
beneficial, because they are not kept
clean; or if clean it is on too costly a
basis. have found it hard and con-
slant work to keep permanent hog
shed as neat as ] desired it, for young
pigs to thrive from narrowing till
weaving time.
Contiguous swine pens harbor dis
Ease. Constant change should be aimed
at. If a pen is used at narrowing time
it should be vacated for time before
using for that purpose again. I like
it much better to have pens that can
be moved or torn down. as soon as the
pigs are weaned, and when farrowing
time comes again have new pens en- a

HOUSEWiFERY.

Let US speak with scorning never
OF the housewives patient round,
While our dearest memories ever
In the scene OF home are found;
And to-day, where'er we stray,
Peace no other where abides,
Than about our own f1resides.
Word OF sweetest derivation,
r From its normal meaning wrenched;
Yet, in foreign installation,
Holding Of it's warmth unquenched,
Bearing trace amid disgrace,
OF something not uncomely,
. Since 1t still is only honaely.
Homely though each home-ly duty,
From no others spring so free,
Peace, content, and ease. and beauty.
:. And such true felicity;
Sleeping, waking, or fast-breaking;
Or the noontide board beside,
Nearing home when shadows glide.
OF all social joys partaking,
Resting in affection sure,
Festal feasts for friendship,
Or In household ease secure,
And whene'er we sadly fare,
Whittier is it that we flee
Torenew our bravery?
If the world no homes were holding,
Kept by women's loving hands,
Unto JOY and rest EMBEDDING,
What were life but barren sands?
So we frown the scorner down
Who defames the housewives art,
Bringing JOY to every heart.
But If more Of skill and beauty
Be the plea for art so high,
And that cen the simplest duty
May be done most gracefully,
Welcome to the message new,
Longtime errors boldly sweeping,
That demean this sweet housekeeping
Bring ye here your skill artistic,
Bring We here Inventions stride;
Weave with beauty, rare and mystic,
Many a homely task beside.
But beware, no scorning dare,
While, albeit, We rest or roam,
Home is Heduen and Heaven Is home!
