THE CHIMNEY QUESTION.
BE Sure That the Main Flue In Free from
Troublesome Angles.

The chimney question is still an unsatis-
factory problem in domestic architecture.
How absolutely essential it is that the
0aIne on the family altar" as some one
not unaptly calls the central open chimney
around which tho inmates Of the house
chiefly congrcgate, should burn with a
clear steady brightness, undmmed by
smoke or Inadequate draft OF air. Yet
how often it occurs that the very fireplace
that the new householder fondly faucicd
would be the centre and attraction of the
dwelling has proved to be smoky, cranky
and altogether uumanageable-a chimney
that must be humored, managed, worked
over and helped out with this and that de
vice forstoppiug the smoky turns to which
it Is Liable, until the owner is fairly veXed
to death over the pcryersity which rea'ty
seems an intelligent righteousness and

/ One very obvious and practical reason,

blue sky, and if there is no roofQEe TO in
teriere YOU will never have any trouble.
Your architect or builder will constantly
tell you that to adjust itself to this or that
lit Of architecture your Auo may be car
riod this way or that way with perfect
safety and yet, in nine cases out Of ten,
whore this is done it will smoke.
In one very handsome house th't cost
many thousand dollars the mnin chimney
WIS thus carried away from is course to
suit some picturesque anglo in the floor
above, and every time a fire WIZ lib in the
noble fireplace in the great hall tae whole
house was filed with smoke, SO that finally
the entire ilue from the second story up
had to he built over again. This, of course,
involved taking down almost the wnOIt
chimney.
If however, it is simply impossible, as is
sometime, the case, to run zap a straight

Cleanliness in the Nursery.

Mothers will do well to keep the fact
in mind that some infantile diarrhRas
are infectious, and therefore can be con-
Veyed from ono baby to another. This
has been clearly proved in certain forms
of the trouble, and there are yet others
which exhibit marked signs of being of
the same character. Until mothers can
know just which are and which are not
SO they ought to assume that IN every
instance it is best to keep the little pa
tients as much az possible from other
children of nearly the same age. When
this rule is generally followed there will
be infinitely fewer cases of summer com
plants in the nursery,
Distinction should also be practiced
where there is summer diarrh9a. One
Of the cheapest, safest and most effective
agents, requiring the least skill in its
use, is the chloride of lime. A bucket
of wafer we'll whitened with this should
receive the soiled napkins as soon as
they are removed. There they will be
practically safe until they can be prop
rrly boiled, which, however, ought not
be delayed longer than possible.-Boston

ETON: AN ODE.

Four hundred summers and fifty have shown
on the meadows of Thames and died
Since Elton arose In an age that was darkness,
and shone by his radiant side
As a star that the spell Of wise mans words
bade live and ascend and abide.
And ever a. times flow frightened, a river
more dark than the storm clothed sea,
And age upon age rose fairer and larger In
promise of hope set free,
With England Elton her child kept pace as a
fostress of men to be.
And ever as earth waved wiser, and softer the
beating of times wide wings
Since fate fell dark on her father, most hapless
and gen,lest OF star crossed kings,
Her praise has increased as the chant Of tho
dawn that the choir of the noon outsings.
Storm and cloud in the skies were loud, and
lightning mocked at the blind suns light;
War and woe on the land below shed heavier
shadow than falls from night;
Dark was earth at her dawn Of birth as here
her record of praise is bright.
Clear and fair through the morning air tho
light first laugh on the sunlit stage
Rose and rang as n fbunt that sprang from
depths yet dark with spent storms rage;
Loud and glad as a boys, and babe the sunrise
open on Shakcspeare's age.
Lords OF state and Of war, whom fate found
strong in battle, In counsel strong,
Here, ere fate had approved them great, abode
their season, and thought not long;
Here, too, first was the larls's note nurscd that

strength OF such a fact, has subjected his
epileptics to astrict vegetable diet, and has
even dispensed with the use Of drugs This
method has given, in his hands, excellent
results, especially in well marked cases.
In these cases nonnitrogenous vegetable

STORY or THEIR PEDIGREE.

"Do they make good war horses"
"In battle their extraordinary eyolutions
remind one Of the gyratory movements OF
Of the swallow when it flies. TEey turn
and wheel with such rapidity that it j.
impossible to get a shot at them. and II
they run nothing can catch them, their
wonderful wisdom and cunning leading
them and their riders out of difficulties the

"Whore are they foundY'
an Mecca, Medina, Palestine and the
Persian gulf are found the Nedijar and Os'
man. They have the Abdalla race in the
Atlas mountains as well Us between Al
ghanistan and the Persian mountains,
where also live the MOhHmmed and Dakir
breeds. These horses descended as heir
looms from father to son, and no possess
sion is so precious as these exquisite ami
mails. Their pedigree is carefully pre-
served with that of the family's own, and
their names descend as do those Of the gen
erations of kings. Sometimes many or all
the members of tribe will be each a part
sharcr in horse, and this horse is left by
will to n successor. One cannot sell his
share without permission from the rest, be
he ever SO much in need, and it must be an
unusual circumstance, indeed, which could
gain such permission"
Doubtless their pedigree dates a long
way back"
"The legend regarding them, which is
said to be a true one Is this; During the
reign OF Mohammed he sent his grand
vizier with his army IN the hope OF con-
ouering China For five years they trav-

the Arab tribes follow the same laws, and
