Thoughtless ImpoIiteness.

who would on no account put spoon point
first into his mouth, or blow his soup to
cool it. oftentimes this same scrupu!ous
young persOn-and he isn't always young
will offend all sense of propriety and
make himself something of nuisance TO
other people by keeping up All intermit-
tent course Of drumming upon some
musical instrument. Summer boarders
may penetrate far into the backwoods, but
they find few rural ''deestricts' where the
piano and the organ have not preceded
them. These instruments, imperfectIy
tuned, and poorly played, are often a
source of much discomfort to the real
lovers of music.
A half a dozen persons are enioving a
quiet chat In the pleasant little parIor.

Bessie, and forthwith proceeds to interrupt
the convention by drawing notes OF dis
tress from the long suffering piano. The

favOrite place of resort, but the pleasure
of sitting there is lessened because these
ambitious Young people must run in and

other source of amusement.
Etiquette and good manners are found
ed upon the principles of good taste, sound
sense and friendly spirit towards others,
and surely those who desire to follow this
pleasant rule need first to consider whether
any performance Of theirs is likely to con-
tribute to the comfort of those about them
or whether the reverse is likely to be the
case, ''Poiiteness has been defined as love

for the exeIc else of loving thoughtfulness
in the most retired home circle. but if
one home is in I boarding house, or in
hotel, OF In suite of apartments there is
still larger opportunity for the exercise of
the gentle amenities of life. Or. in other
words, the more gregarious the style of
living, the greater need is there that the
Golden Rule be carefully observed.

Gapes in Chickens.

siIhe following points regarding gapes, if
observed, will prove preventive and cure
for this troublesome disease, namely: |.
Scatter air-slacked lime freely over the
ground occupied by the fowls.-2. Put a
little of the lime in the drinking water -
3. Should signs of gapes appear, feed the
fowls twice a week with stiff corn-meal
dough, first intimately mixing teaspoon
full spirits of turpentine with a quart of
meal. Give very sick chick a drop
of turpentine on a bread crumb. 3. If
this fails, then strip feather, leaving
small tuft on the end, dip it in turpen-
tine, insert the end of the feather into the
vindpipe, and quickly withdraw it.
Feed ON clean boards. Never allow I'M
eaten food to remain on the grounds
Keep the ground clean of flth.-9. The
rich, moist places, such as are favorable
to earthworms, are favorable to gapes.-
10. Do not mistake lice for gaps, as the
big, gray lice on the skin of the heads and
necks will often cause the chicks to gasp
from weakness. 1t is not an easy matter
to insert feather in the throat Of large
number of chicks: hence the best whole
sale method is to give the turpentine in
corn meal, and to use plenty Of lime on
the ground, as the lime will destroy all
germs of gapes.

Pigs and Lambs Need Attention

Early pigs and lambs will begin to come
this month and will demand attention;
the sows and ewes should be made famil-
lar with their Keeper. so that he can
handle them without fear, and if the
weather should be- unfavorable at the time
of narrowing, the keeper should make sure
that the young things do not get chilled
before the get pull at the teat; after that
they will surely take care of themselves,
in a clean, warm aud well-littered pen
Sometimes the SOW is cross, and will bite
her pigs and even kill and eat them; III
such cases they should be taken from her
and placed in basket of dry chaff, well
covered over, until she has has got through
narrowing and had warm mash to drink
in which a little whiskey Ia pint or sol
may be mixed to make her sleepy, When
she lies down quietly, the pigs should be
carefully placed aG the teat8 without dis
turbing her, and once they begin to suck
there will be no trouble

THE SIDEWALK STROLLER
Embarrassing Situation of n Young Lady o,

THE CURVE OF HEALTH.
These Curves Occur in the Movements OF
Every Day Life.

Oliver Wendell Holmes saws in the
Atlantic Monthly: Let me tell you one
thing think if patients and physicians
were in the habit of RECOGNIZING the fact
that | am going to mention, both would
be gamers. The law | refer to must be
familiar to all observing physicians. and
to all intelligent persons who have observ-
ed their own bodily and mental condi-
lions. This is, the curve of health. Ii is
a mistake to suppose that the normal state
of health Is represented by a straight hori-
zontal line. Independently of the we'll
known causes which raise or depress the
standard of vitality, there seems to bel
think may venture to say there is-a
rhythmic unduIatlon of the flow of the
vital force. The dynamo" which furn-
lshes the working powers of consciousness
and action has its annual, its monthly,
Its dlurnal waves, even It's mOmentary
ripples, in the current it furnishes. There
are greater and lesser curves in the move
ment of every days life-a series of as
cendlng and descending movements, pc
riodicity depending on the very nature OF
the force at work in the living organ
ism. Thus we have our good season. and
our bad seasons, our good days and our
bad days life climbing and descending in
long or short undulations, which | have
called the curve of health. from this fac
springs a great proportion of the errors of
medical practice. On it are based the
the decisions of the various shadowy
systems which impose themselves on
ignorant and half learned public, as
branches or schools Of science a rem
edy taken at the time of the ascent in the
curve of health is found successful. The
same remedy taken while the curve is IN
its downward movement proves a failure.
So long as it exists the wisest practi-
toner will be liable TO deceive himself
about the effect Of what he calls, and loves
to think are his remedies Long-contin-
ued and sagacious observation will, to some
extent, undeceive him; but re it not for
the happy illusion that his useless or even
ueleterious drugs were doing good service
many practitioner would give up his
calling for one in which he could be
more certain that he was really doing
good to the subjects OF his professional
dealings.
