SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

A Little Piece of Rudeness That Probably
Comes from Want of Thought.
"People should bow to each other even If
they have not been introduced, when one is
playing the part Of hostess, the other that Of
guest" So says Mrs Sherwood, and the
hint may serve as a reminder to many who
sin in this respect from want of thought
rather than through intention. In explana-
ton Mrs. Sherwood continues: At ball
at Delmonico's last winter a young man
passed lady who was receiving and did not
bow. ''Why were you SO rudea" asked the
Macenas of the ball because had never
been introduced" was the reply Now, il
ladies take upon themselves the trouble of
receiving at public ball, a club or charity
bazaar, any one who enters should return
the graceful courtesy. Anything less is a
boorish rudeness. 1t is to be feared that old
fashioned courtesy has little place in our
fashionable society, or in the Nineteenth cen
fury.
While there is no fault Of manner greater
than q too eflorescent and Aattering sub
serviency, yet no citizen loses particle of
his independence by returning the bow of his
hostess. HE bows too low" was said of
Shakespeare's villain, but "he does not bow
at all," even when entering ballroom or
parlor, can be urged against many modern
hero.

Food for Fsttening Hogs.

There have been numberless discus
sions, and not few experiments made
for the purpose Of settling the question,
"Does it pay to grind and cook food for
fattening hogs?" The surrounding con-
ditions and circumstances have much to
do in settling the question of economy;
and while one farmer, under certain cir
cumstances, could feed a considerable
portion of cooked grain and receive salts
factory returns therefor, another, diff
ferently situated, might not be able to do
so without actual loss. Under favorable
circumstances many have thoroughly sat.
isfied themselves that the practice OF
cooking is largely profitable, and others
from experiments fully as careful have
arrived at conclusions directly the re.
verse. That it is practically profitable
on the majority Of farms to cook the
food for large stocks of swine is not gen.
orally conceded. Among the reasons for
regarding cooking as impracticable. are
the scarcity of timber for fuel, the extra
labor involved, and the general lack OF
fixtures and facilities for cooking and
feeding the food in its cooked state.

Cost of Keeping a Horse.

The cost of keeping horse by the
most of persons is mere guess work in
stead of careful figures. Mr.. j. H.
Andre, with view to enlightening the
uninitiated, gave recently in Rural Home
the following estimates: If one purchases
good horse, 4 years Of age, for $3.50 it
is a good bargain. A top buggy will
cost $125, cutter $25, harness $40, robe
$40, blankets So, comb and brush So,
whip So, which amounts figure 1887.
Now if we take all into considera-
ton these will last on an average
ten years. Perhaps the wagon might
last longer, but it would need repairing
in that time; on the whole ten years is a
long average, as the horse might be
worthless in five years.
If it costs 1897 for ten years, it would
be at the rate Of $780, per year, and the
interest on the whole outlay at per
cent. would be 5000. Add to this at
least four tons Of hay, which has aver
aged in the past ten years $12 per ton,
$48; one ton of straw for bedding, 81;
ninety bushels of oats at S5 cents per
bushel, $31.5O; shoeing S., and it would
be a cheap job to care for horse, wash
wagons, etc., for 81 per week, which
would bring the price to S52 per year, or
the sum total of $197. 40 for the year at
moderate figures. And yet we find
thousands who keep horse and have no
real business for it and do not keep a
COW, when the cost of keeping horse
will keep two cows, and yet they do not
see how they can keep COW.

Cssabianca. the BOY Who Stood ON the
Burning Dock.
Every ono who has been a school boy h
familiar with the lines, 1.-THE boy stood on the
burning deck" This IL the story Of Casa
blanca, who was the hero Of the burning deck,
Owen Casabianca was native Of Corsica,
on which island be was born In the year i76S.
His father was Louis Casabianca, distin-
guished French politician and naval COM
mander, and the friend Of Napoleon. He was
captain at this time of the Orient, one Of the
largest vessels In the French navy, q mag
nifcent ship Of war, carrying 100 guns and
800 seamen OF Casabianca's mother we know
little save that she was young and beautiful
Corsican lady and devotedly attached to her
son. Owen was her only child, handsome,
manly little fellow, with her beauty in his
flashing eyes and dusky hair. Shs died while
he was yet quite young, and when the green
sod was placed over her grave, the boy left
the pleasant valley under the smiling bills of
Corsica, to go with his father and tread the
hard deck Of war vessel Mere child as he
was, Casabianca soon grew to love his fathers
dangerous calling, and became favorite
with all on board He was made midshipman,
and at the early age of 10 years participated
with his father In the battle Of the Nile. The
shipcaught fire during the action. Soon after,
Capt. Casabianca, TIE father, was wounded
by musket ball. Not yet disabled, he was
struck in the head some minutes later by a
splinter, which laid him upon the deck insen-
sible His gallant son, unconscious Of the
chieftain's doom, still held his post at the bat
terry, where he worked like the hero he was.
He saw the flames raging around him; he saw
the ships crew deserving him one by one, and
the boy was urged to flee. With courage and
GOODNESS beyond his years, he refused to de-
sert his post Worthy son of Louis Casabi-
anca, he fought on, and never abandoned the
Orient till the whole Of the immense vessel
was in flames. Then, seeking refuge ON a
floating mast, he left the burning ship behind
him But he was too late. The final catas-
trophe came like the Judgment doom. With
an explosion so tremendous that every ship
felt it to the bottom, the Orient blew up, and
from among the wreck the next morning was
picked up the dead, mangled body of the
young hero, whose story romance and poetry
cannot make more heroic than it was

PREVENTIVE INCUBATION OF A SHEEP.

PREVENTIVE INCUBATION OF SHEEP.
In the test experiments under con-
sideration, the merits of the two systems
Of preventive incubation were tried
that Of Pasteur and that of P. H. Fl. Geh-
rig. The latter gentleman's system proved
a failure, while Pasteur's system scored
victory. Space will not admit of Pas

The outbreaks of this disorder, in Aus
tralia as in this country, clearly teach
that it is constantly reproduced by ami

animals have deposited excreta or have
themselves persisted and rotted. In Eng
land, it has been found that by judicious

POULTRY FOR MARKET.

Directions for Preparing Poultry for Sale
by New York Commission Firm.
An ordinance In force In New York
city prohibits the sale of turkeys or
chickens unless their crops are free from
food or other substance and shrunken
close to the body. This law makes II
imperative that poultry dressers should
keep their poultry from food long
enough before killing to insure the crops
being entirely empty. According to the
commission firm Of E. & o. Ward, 1t is
best to keep poultry designed for market
from food twenty-four hours previous to
killing to insure the crops being entirely
empty, though In some cases twelve
hours has been found sufficient.
Kill all kinds Of poultry by cutting
through the roof of the mouth to the
brain with q sharp pointed knife. Leave
the head and legs on and never "draw"
the entrails. Pinfeathery young tur-
keys, ducks or geese should not be killed,
but kept until full fedged. Poultry
should be fat before killing. The usual
quality sells best scalded. The legs and
necks of turkeys and chickens should be
dry picked Immediately after killing;
this will keep them from discoloring
when exposed to the air. The water for
scalding should be boiling hot. Immense
the bird, holding it by the legs, and lift
up and down in the water three or four
times. Immediately after scalding
chickens and turkeys, remove the feath-
ers, pinfeathers and all, very clearly and
without breaking the skin.
After scalding ducks and geese, wrap
them in a cloth about ten minutes, then
the down will roll off with the feathers.
All poultry should be "plumped" after
picking, by dipping for about two seconds
in boiling hot water, then thrown into
cold water and left for ten or twelve
minutes.
Very fat and handsome chickens and
turkeys generally sell a little higher
when dry picked, and from far distant
points they carry better. Poultry looks
much leaner when dry picked than when
scalded and "plumped;" therefore only
very fat stock should be dry picked.
Ducks and geese are preferred scalded.
Carefully avoid cutting or bruising the
flesh or breaking the bones.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
VARIOUS TOPICS THAT ARE BEING
TALKED ABOUT.

Results from the Study Of Babylonisn
Monuments which Open Entirely New
Ideas Of the EARLY History ri the An
Client World.
In recent number Of Tho Journal of the
Anthropological institute, Mr.. q. Berlin pub
fishes an interesting study Of the types Of
manfound on Babylonian monuments. One
Of the most remarkable results Of his re-
searches Is the proof that the Armenian race
Of these early times exhibits the same char.
acteristics to be noticed In the modern Ar.
menians Fig 81. This u the more remark
able from the fact that at this period the
language spoken In Armenia, and illustrated
by the Inscriptions Of Van, Is totally different
from Armenian, and linguistically connected
with Akkadian and Medic. Evidently the
Armenian population has, In course of time,
acquired new language, while its physical
characteristics survive. DR.. Won Luschan
has shown that the Turks and Greeks of Asia
Minor are of the same Armenian type, and
thus the great antiquity Of the native popu-
lation Of this region is proved.

"There is nothing like heat for milk
making in winter, and with ensilage for
food there is no reason why the supply of
milk should be any less in cold than in
warm weather." says American Dairy
man.
Professor w. A. Henry states that there
is an urgent demand for some succulent
food for hogs in winter, as we now have
only concentrated grain feed with which
to supply them, and this is not wholly
satisfactory for growing animals.

perience," says L. T. Hazen, 'that silo

American Agriculturist says: "If the
hogs to be slaughtered are fed within
twelve hours of their killing the food Is
wasted. the meat will be more disposed
to sour, and it will be more difficult to
remove the distended intestines and take
from them the lard"

MICROSCOPIC VIEWS OF SLEEPS BLOOD

MICROSCOPIC VIEWS OF SLEEPS BLOOD.
But now come tidings Of the value Of
protective incubation, as tested recently
in New South Wales. According to q
report of said tests and various investi-
cations in Mark Lane Express, the evil
dence is conclusive that anthrax is due
to specific germ poison. and that it is
propagated by animals grazing over in
fected pastures. In word, it is bacillus
anthracis that is the cause Of the disease,
and not the disease that gives rise to the
germs in the blood.
At Fig. in the annexed cut is shown
a microscopic view of the blood Of a
sheep in health; at Fig. its appearance
when affected with anthrax, showing
also the rod shaped bacillus in large
numbers. Now the anthrax bacilli live
in the oxygen in the blood and SO do the
blood cells. The death of the animal
affected, therefore, is due to the bacilli
warning with the blood corpuscles for
the possession of the oxygen and gaining
it. The supply of oxygen is limited,
being mainly kept up by the circulating
blood, and when disease arrests this pro-
cess the animal dies by asphyxia as GER
tainly as if it had been strangled by any
other means.

this type seems to Lave formed the
great mass Of the population According
to Mr.. Bertin's theory, this people was the
ground race of western Asia, and he goes
SO far as to identify it with the European
prehistoric races, which are by many authors
believed to be Of Berber origin. He adds:
IAN important point to- notice is that this
race is everywhere found in an inferior social
position, and it was equally so In the remot-
est age. Nowhere did il rise to the rank of
dominating or ruling race, but everywhere it
4ccepted tfis 55ke Of the conquering tribe in

obedience This explains why this race has

One Way of Catching Cold.

'sWe find in neck wraps common cause
of colds" says writer on hygiene, and adds,
IF, during winter, one was certain to wear
much the same wrap at all times when In the
open air, there would be less danger from it.
But the chances are that On some occasions
when 1t should be worn IT would be left on,
either purposely or forgotten, and cold is
the result. The silk handkerchiefs, with
which many men adorn themselves, are per-
feet denominations, and cause more sore
threats than any other influence. When once
put on, the wearers are welded to them for
the remainder of the winter. The coat collar
is ample protection when turned up and but
toned closely, and man is very foolish to
use any other means for the purpose"
