The Shark Got the Hat.

We were about mile off the bar,
fishing for drum, and it was a dead
calm. Some one accidentally knocked
the Pittsburg mans hat off, and it
foated away about twenty feet and re.
manned stationary. The loser said he
didn mind swimming out for it, as it
was a very warm day. but, IS he rose
up, the cat-boat captain protested:
Don't you do it; Pm suspicious of
sharksp'
''Sharks be hanged! don't believe
there's one on the whole Coast!
81 say you hadn't better"
and | say I'm going to, just the
same"
He stood upon the seat ready for a
dive, and we all looked at the hat. At
that moment there was a swirl of water,
the white body of a great shark showed
clear through the Iimpid green, and the
next instant his nose pushed above the
surface as he seized and bolted the hat
He was ten feet long if an inch, and
could have snapped a man in two at a
bite.
81 told your growled the captain as
he rebaited hook.
"Well, by gosh!" gasped the hatless
man, as he sat down and trembled for a
half an hour.

Cold Baths Very Beneficial.

81 think that those who can take a
cold bath every morning all the year
round derive a great deal of benefit
from so doing, said a well-known hos
pital surgeon to a writer for the Wash
ington Star. ''The effect Of the cold
water on the system is TO act as Il nerve
tonic, and a person Of a strong constilu-
ton always feels a great deal better af-
ter taking these cold baths. Then in
drying ones self the friction of the skin
has another heaIthful effect upon the
nerves. Persons who are strong enough
to battle in the open air every morning
all the year, think, enjoy better health
than those who try to keep in warm
rooms and only take warm baths on
certain occasions. Their nerves are in
better condition and stronger; their skin
is harder and more healthlul and better
able to stand the cold, and, their mus
Giles are greatly strengthened by the use
which they get through the bather hav-
ing TO move about in order to keep
himself warm while in the water. To
persons of weak constitution or
nervous temperament, of course, this
heroic treatment would kc too severe.
They couldn't stand the sudden
shock to their system caused by
the plunge in the cold water. For such
persons tepid bathing is the moro bcnc-
fetal. The water should be from 80 to
100 degrees in temperature. Some per-
sons cannot stand bathing nearly as
much as others. To some persons water
has a firing effect upon the system.
These should only indulge in tcpid
sponge baths at certain stated times.
For many diseases and complaints water
is absolutely necessary. But these &C.
casions Gun only be ordered by a
physician after he has made a study of
the patients case. Turkish and Rus
sian baths are luxury to those who can
stand them, but only those who have
been advised by their physicians or
whose hearts are in healthful condi-
tion should ever attempt 10 take these
| baths. For rheumatism and similar
complaints heat baths are very beneti-
cial, and great many persons suffering

from Turkish bath. The general effect,
though, of Turkish bath on the system
is weakening, and for this reason alone,
if no other, they should not be often
taken. Sea bathing is particularly bene-
ficlal to all those who can stand it.
don't know that there IS any harmful
result experienced through staying in
the sea water for a whole morning, pro-
vided the bather keeps moving about, il
warm, and his blood is in good circula-
ton. But directly one begins to fee
cold, or experiences a tired, languid
feeling, then it is time to come out OF
the water, and good brisk walk should
be INDUCED in then, in order to get tho
blood into circulation again.

HARMFUL wHITEwAsH.

l have long distrusted the broad
claims made for the much-recommended
whitewashing of poultry houses for pre-
vention or determination of the vermin
which it is claimed, says o. S. Bliss in
the New York Tribune, habitually infest
them and their occupants. | have had
no personal experience with it, because
never fail to accomplish the purpose by
easier, cheaper and more permanently eff
fective means than the advocates of
whitewashing have ever ventured to
claim for it. | have, however, taken
pains to look the matter up, without
prejudice, and am now persuaded that so
far from accomplishing any real good of
itself, the whitewash is actually harmful.
1t may be admitted that some immediate
benefit appears to be gained, as would be
the case with any other substance so
thoroughly applied to every crack and
crevice, but it remains true, nevertheless,
that the whitewash is protector rather
than an eXterminator of the vermin.
This very day | examined a whitewashed
house and found a confirmation of this
view. Carbolic acid, kerosene and var
ious other things which of themselves
are destructive of insect life are put into
the whitewash, but their destructive
qualities are all more or less neutralized
and rendered Ineffective by dilution.
In few hours the wash becomes dried
and as harmless as sand, every destruc-
tive agent in it being cffectually locked
up. But the habitable retreat of the in
sects have been increased in number a
hundred or thousand fold. Cracks and
other places without number which be-
fore were uninhabitable by them have
had the dust wiped out, or wet down,
and protecting scale of whitewash hung
up before them, thus creating many a
new indus where none existed before
If house is really infested and it be-
comes desirable to clean it out to get rid
of the vermin, it is easier, cheaper and
far more effective to apply strong soap
soaps with or without the addition of
kerosene, spirits of turpentine, or any
other Of the agents employed to render it
more effective. Such wash not only
kills the vermin, but detaches the accre-
tons which protect them and leaves a
free open space, which is greatly prefera-
BILE to one partly filled with anything,
except it be fine, dry dust in which in
sects cannot live. If the cracks and
other open spaces in poultry house are
to be filled at all it should be with NOR
tar containing sufficient amount of plaster
of paris, raw or calcined, or other similar
substance, to make the filling solid. But
repeat what have often said, that there
is no occasion for any of these things
when the supply of dust is what it should
be in every case.

REARING CALVES.

E. d. Richards, writing to the Ameri-
can Cultioator, says: In the earlier days
it was the general practice among dairy
farmers to allow the calf to run with its
dam during the first season. Such a
method is too expensive for these days.
Again, it works great damage to the COW
if she is to be kept for the dairy. When
the dams bag becomes healthy and in
normal condition, the sooner the calf is
removed from her side the better for the
COW.
In order to give the calf good start,
it is well to let it drink part of the moth
ers milk warm from the COW, but after a
few days give skim milk. 1t is advisable
to scald the milk for few days to pre-
vent sours, which are inclined to trouble
calves raised by hand Some dairymen
feed calves upon whey and turn them out
to grass Such calves, if they live at all
until time to go to the barn are seldom
worth wintering. Long experience and
observation have confirmed me in the
belief that the best and most successful
way to raise calves by hand is the English
custom of keeping them in the barn the
first season; give them a small yard where
they may go to and from their pen at
pleasure and take the fresh air. Keep
their quarters strictly clean, feed them
upon skim milk either sweet or sour, |
prefer it sour, give them all the good hay
that they will eat, and they will soon learn
to cat quite quantity. Milk does not
take the place of water They should
have fresh water daily. A few ground
oats daily will give them fine start the
first season.
The future of any animal depends
greatly upon the start it gets the first
year. Calves need salt. The best way
to salt them is to place a lump of mineral
salt within their reach then they will lap
it as they need. A box of fresh loan is
also an excellent thing to place within
their reach. Calves fed upon milk crave
something of this sort. If the floor is
bedded with dry sand, it will guard
against lice, which are a deadly foe to
calves or older cattle The main point
which l wish to call attention to is the
benefit to be derived from keeping calve;
in the barnyard the first year in prefer.
ence to turning them to grass l have
never seen calves which are put out tc
grass as forward and strong in the fall as
those which are kept in and treated az

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Dispose of all surplus cockerels while
they will pass as spring chickens.
If we take the weight of the eggs in
consideration, the duck lays more than
the hen.

you were out in the garden yesterdays
Go and get it and burn it before the seeds
fly all over the garden.
With fall weather come many duties.
A general overhauling of all buildings,
nests and roots, and liberal application
of white wash and carbolic acid.
AS a safeguard against lice, all young
turkeys should be we'll busted, at least
once week, with fresh insect powder
and especially in the down and under
their wings.
AS soon as the sweet corn is gathered,
cut up the stalks and feed to the COW if
you do not save for winter. They will
make more milk if cut now instead of
standing till all dried up.
All forage and grain crops may be pre-
served in the silo. The silo adds very
materially to the palateableness, digesti-
bility and nutritiousness of many articles
of food and detracts from none.
Camphorated oil is one of the best
things for roup or swelled head; you can
get it at any druggists and apply it with
the finger to the infamed parts. Vinegar

good.

Lucky And UnIueky DAYS.

Superstitions regarding the days of
he week are many. The following
dOggerel is an old Scotch rhyme not
often quoted nowadays:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all:
Thursday for crosses
Friday for losses
Saturday no day at all
In Judea, rainy day was always con-
sidered unlucky for a wedding. Here is
more doggerel regarding lucky and un-
lucky days:
Born of Monday,
Fair in face;
Born of Tuesday,
Full of Gods grace;
Born of a Wednesday,
Merry and glad;
Born of a Thursday,
Sour and sad;
Born of a Friday,
Cody given.
Born of a Saturday,
| Work for your living;
Born Of a Sunday.
Never shall want.
So there's the week
And the end ont
The idea of Friday being an unlucky
day is almost universal, and it is known
as hangman's day. In Scandinavia,
Thursday is considered the day of bad
omen. 1t is a very old belief that the
hair, like the nails, should be cut only
at certain times. There is another
ancient rhyme that reads.
!
Friday cut and Sunday shorn,
Better never had been born.
Few persons in Iceland cut the hair
on Friday.

A Brave Little Wife.

A mild-eyed lit'le Austrian and his
gypsy-faccd wife, who was attired
somewhat dramatically, were called be-
fore the emigration commissioners Of
New York, recently, to give an account
of themselves. They arrived from Ham
burg the other day without cent to
start life with in the new world. But
the little man had trade glazing, and
what was more important, a very ener-
getic partner.
"What are you going to DO if we let
you inv asked President Ridgway.
"Work at my trade" said the glazier
through Interpreter Silverstein.
"Suppose you can't find work, what

The GLACIERS mild eyes assumed a
puzzled expression, and he turned ap-
pealingly to his bright-eyed wife. She
became voluble right away.
ooh, " she said, che will get work.
will help him to find it. And if he
doesn't get it, will am seamstress.
Never fear, we viii find work"
''But suppose neither of you should
find work, how are you going to get
alougp
''God will help us, then"
But" said commissioner Wylie,
laughingly, Gle has no office here"
"Ah," said the woman, with a tri-
umphaut smile, "He is everywhere"
'You couldn't prevent that woman
from getting along" president Ridg-
way remarked, admiringly.
The commissioners decided tn most
pone decision on the case of the glazier
and his confident helpmeet until the
Austrian consul sees them.

CONCERNING WEEDS.

Weeds are usually plants that do not
contain much valuable plant food. For
this reason they are not worth so much
for ggen manuring as are cultivated
plants, such as the grains and clover.
The damage they do is more in abstract
ing moisture from the soil than plant
food, though what fertility they take is
usually near the surface, and therefore
possesses greater value for crops. The
common rag weed has very little value as
manure. Pig weed grows only in rich
soil, and it contains more valuable plant
food than any other plant; but it takes il
mainly from near the surface. Glover
has the great advantage as green manure
of drawing fertility from the subsoil.-
