BY Rule and Measure.

Undoubtedly some harm is done by
those who insist upon bringing up all
children after one cast-iron pattern.
In certain sense it is true, as an old
lady once said, that "if you have thir-
teen children, you'll find no two of
them can be managed alike" But,
after all, the worst harm, and great
deal OF the most of it. is committed by
those who say: There is no use in
trying to bring up family by rule"
Complain as you will about it, the
human frame is machine, and all
human frames are pretty much alike.
and, as Mrs. Browning says: "need
one flannel. with a proper sense of
difference in the quality" The vast
majority of children should be brought
up to go to bed early; to rise early; to
eat three wholesome, abundant meals
per day, and absolutely nothing else;
to be scrupulously regular in main
tanning both inner and outer cleanli-
ness; to live as much as possiblein the
open air; and to abhor idleness. There
are said to be exceptions to this rule,
but the writer has never known one.
There may be children who are al
lowed to break one or more of these
regulations habitually, and who yet
maintain unbroken health from years
end to years end, but we never saw
one. - Kate Epson Clark. IN Home

little whether the conscience be clear,

TIMELY FARM TALK.
Feeding for Manure The Value OF Bra
as Food for Stock.

Feeding for Manure-The Value OF Bran
as q Food for stock.
The feeding of cattle for manure is a
subject for profitable study through
the winter. Manure is the most val
liable crop that farmers can produce.
1t can not be purchased except in the
shape of costly fertilizers, or at ex-
orbitant prices that farmers can not
afford. At its usual market value Of
$3.50 to 50 per ton it is largely used
by thousands of farmers. But it can
be made for much less than this price,
Milking cows use up 20 per cent. Of
the manurial elements Of their food,
young stock 10 per cent. and fatten-
ing cattle only 5 per cent. A ton of
straw and ton of hay fed with 500
pounds of cottonseed meal will make s
tons of manure, and will be fully re-
turned in the form of flesh or
/, fat, or milk and butter. So that the
farmer who buys these feeding SUBJ
stances will have at the above men,
toned market prices fully $40 worth
of manure, clear profit from the food,
if he doesn't make any thing from the
stock.
Bran is one of the most profitable
as well as wholesome foods for all
kinds OF stock. 1t contains Is per
cent Of nit ogenOus matter and 8! per
cent. of fat with about so per cent. Of
carbonaceOus substances. Hence, for
feeding young animals and milking
cows, it is one of the very best Of
foods. 1t is above the normal standard
of nutritive ratio, having 1 of nitrog-
enous substance to OF carbonaceous.
against the normal ratio of l to
81. Hence it is of all the more value
for making manure rich in nitrogen
and is consequently a most desirable
food when stock is kept for the i'm
provement of land. At the ordinary
/ value of the food clements it is worth
81. 10 per 100 pounds for feeding, and
when 1t can be bought at that price is
as good purchase as if one procured

chaser may make % per cent. profit
on every dollar expended. For feed

the cheapest food that can be pur-
chased. And the purchase of food is
an Indispensable part of profitable
farm business. M y Times

Indigestion the Most Fertile Breeder OF
Nocturnal Phantasms.
Many have discoursed learnedly
upon dreams, propounding wise theo-
ries and making plausible suggestions,
yet no one has ever arrived at any real
solution of the matter. It is only a
barrier of cloud that bars the way to
knowledge thereof, yet no fortress
wall could be more impregnable. 1t

ination becomes fly-by-night, and
the wits speed over land and sea like
wild birds set free from the cage.
There are few creatures exempt from
these nocturnal journeyings, however
brief and circumscribed they may be.
The dog "hunts in Dreams" the cat
fights in battles over again and the
bird sings in its sleep, while even the
most commonplace person can usually
give some crude account of his ex-
periences in slumber. Certain dreams
are common to all people-falling
from precipice, down, down, to some
unfathomed gulf; striving to walk
upon floor that sinks horribly be-
meath the feet; endeavoring, in urgent
haste, to put on garments that drop
off, turn wrong side out aud develop
other impish propensities; riding in a
coach that suddenly crumbles to
pieces and leaves one staring in the
middle of the road. So to speak, it is
marked popularity of dreams that
''the bottom drops out OF every thing"

A SALT MOUNTAIN.
The Remarkable Saline Deposit Of Sonth
eru Palestine.

eru PALESTINE
Palestine possesses q remarkable
salt mountain situated at the south
end Of the Dead Sea. The length Of
this ridge is six miles, with an aver.
age width Of three-4uarters OF mile,
and the height 10 not far from six
hundred feet There are places where
the OVERLAPPING earthly deposits are
many feet in thickness, but the mass of
the mountain is composed of solid rock
salt, some of which is as clear as crys-
tai. How far this deposit of salt ex-
tends below the surface Of the ground
no one at present knows. At some
points this ridge, which is on the shore
of the Dead Sea, approaches very close
to the water. and at others it recedes
until it is fifty or more yards from it.
Just here the water of the Dead Sea
is much more salt than it Is at the
north end, where the Jordan en-
ters the lake. This salt is Govern
ment monopoly. The same is true of
the salt that is contained in sOlu-
ton in the Dead Sea itself.
If Arabs or the natives of the
country were found getting salt from
the shores of the Dead Sea, or from
this salt mountain, they would be ar
rested at once. Most OF the salt used
in Hebron, Jerusalem and elsewhere
in this part of Palestine comes from
these sources, but it is gathered
under the direction of Govern
ment officers, and the revenue is
supposed to 60 to the Government. In
this salt mountain, to say nothing OF
the salt of the Dead Sea, there is a
mine of wealth; and if capitalists
were allowed to come in and work it
the prosperity Of this part of the coun-
try would thereby greatly increase. !
have examined personally this salt
mountain, and talked with the Pasha
of Jerusalem, who is also the Govern.
or of Palestine, as to the desirability
of companies being formed which
should prepare this salt for use and
ship it to the markets of the world
but at present the Turkish Govern
ment is hostile to any such subject.
Specimens of salt from this salt mount
ain were sent by me to the care of the
Department of State, designed for the
Exposition at New Orleans in 1885,
