Royal Women Who Smoke Cigar
cites With Gusto.
Those who rave with unceasing bit
terness against women who smoke,
and who declare the habit to be i'll
bred and fast, have no idea of the
women they are condemning. The
Expresses of Russia and Austria, the
Queen of Italy and the Queen Regent
of Spain, as we'll as their Maiesties OF
Portugal, Roumania and Servia and
the Countries of Paris are all ardent
lovers of tobacco, of which they are
also thoroughly good judges. Per-
haps the most inveterate smoker
among tht Royal ladies is the Empress
ofAustria, who consumes from thirty
to forty cigarettes a day. She keeps
her tobacco in an exquisitely-
chased silver box, which, together
with a gold ASH tray, are always to
be seen on her writing table Her
Imperial Majesty of Russia and Queen
Marguerite of Italy only smoke in the
privacy Of their own boudoirs. That
OF the Empress of Russia is most
fascinating apartment, which makes
a really ideal smoking room.
It is fitted up in the style of one OF
the lovllest rooms at the Alhamhra,
palm trees giving it quite tropical
appearance, while tempting lounges
invite that repose which is such
delightful adjunct to the fragrant
weed. The Countess of Paris will
look at no tobacco which has not
grown in the sunny climate OF Havana,
and while the Queen Regent OF Spain
gives her vote in favor of Egyptian
cigarettes, and the Queen of Roumania
declares in Turkey, Queen Natalie Of
Servia has astore OF tobacco from each
country, ofwhich she is careful toget
the very best. believe the cigarette
cases carried by some of these ladies
are veritable dreams of beauty, being
usually OF gold, inlaid with precious
stones. Turning to our own country,
it would take too long to mention the
names of the well-known feminine
votaries of the weed, and it is not
even necessary to repeat that they
are some of the highest in the land.
A very large proportion of our blue
women smoke and many Of them even
smoke cigars as strong as those af-
ected by the sterner SEX.

PREVENTION OF PHTHISIS.
Neglect Of Small Frecaution:
Causes It's Spread.

Neglect Of Small Precautions
Causes lis Spread.
Professor Tyndall has a paper on
''The origin, propagation, and proven
ton OF aphthisis," in the Fortnightly.
He shows conclusively the prevent
ability of the fell disease, consumption
and how neglect OF a simple precau-
tion causes it to spread. He quotes
from DR.. Cornet the following sum-
mary on the subject: tits universally
recognized that tuberculosis is caused
by tubercle bacilli, which reach the
lungs through the inhalation of air
in which the bacilli are diffused. They
come almost EXCLUSIVELY from the dried
sputum ofconsumptive persons The
moist sputum, as also the expired
breath of the consumptive patient: is
for this mode OF infection, without
danger. II we can prevent the drying
OF the expectorated matter, we pre-
vent in the same degree the possibility
OF Injection. It is not, however, sui
ticient to place a spittoon at the dis
posal of the patient The strictest
surveillance must beexercised by both
physicians and attendants to enforce
the proper use of the spittoon, and to
prevent the reckless disposal of the
infective phlegm. Splitting on the floor
OF in pocket-handkerchiefsi is the main
source of peril. To this must be added
the soiling Of the bed clothes and the
wiping of the patients mouth. The
handkerchiefs used for this purpose
must be handled with care, and boiled
without delay. Various other resources
of danger, kissing among them, will
occur to the physician. A phthisical
mother, by kissing her healthy child,
may seal its doom Notices impress
ing on the patients the danger of not
attending to the precautions laid down
in the hospital ought to be posted up
in every sick room, while all wilful
infringement of the rules ought to be
sternly punished. Thus may the ter
ribly mortality of hospital nurses be
diminished. if not abolished; the wards
where they are occupied being rendered
as salubrious as those surgical wards
in which no bacilli could befound.

\ SHARP TRICK.

But 1t Didn't Work on One Man Who
Knew About It.
When the guests sat down to the
table in the little combination hotel
and boarding house the proprieto
uncovered what looked like a fine
roast OF beef, and cut off a fairly lib
eral slice for each man.
The surveyor who had been tramp
ing around all day said he was as
hungry as bear, and thought he
could eat at least half OF such a
roast, and the other members OF the
party admitted that they could make
large sections OF it disappear. The
travelling man said that after all, the
best meat vas to be had in the little
country places.
The proprietor said he trusted they
would not stint themselves, he liked
to see his guests have good appetites.
He rather prided himself on the table
he set, he said.
The potatoes and other vegetables
were good and plentiful, and every
one started in for a good dinner, in
Guiding the proprietor. But the lat
ter's first mouthful seemed to surprise
him. He looked perplexed, but he
tried it. again, taking a very small
piece.
"Gentlemen,'' he said, ..'do you
notice anything wrong with this
beef?<'
"What seems to be the matter?''
asked the surveyor, as he poised a
piece of it on his fork.
"Why, I may be a little over-fastid-
lous because Of the superfine quality
Of our beef usually" said the proprie-
tor, "but it tastes to me trife faint
ed"
The surveyor tried the piece he
had on his fork and admitted that it
did taste trife strong, and the man
next to him had noticed it also.
"I'll see about it, said the landlord
with determination, and he had the
cook called in. The cook said the
|, meat had been delivered that morn
ing, but that it looked little stale to
him. -.
'That settles it," said the proprie-
tor, with determination. Gentlemen,
Pm sorry, but we'll have to do the
best we can with vegetables. To
morrow is Sunday, however, and Ill
have the finest roast in the country
for you" Then to the cook, s"Throw
it out in the alley, and when the
butcher comes again send him to ME. -
"Hold on" expostulated the com
mercial traveller. "Give me another
piece frst.''
"You don't mean to say you like
it!' exclaimed all the others.
ooh, it's not so bad, he replied.
They watched him eat it, and they
waited for him to get sick; but he
didn't get sick; on the contrary, he
seemed to feel better than any OF
them. Finally one man bluntly ask
ed him if he had cast-iron stomach.
"Not at ALL" he. replied, "but I've
been here before. It's his regular
trick to make the roast last over
Sunday" -Chicago Tribune.

CroSS-Bred Fowls.

The poultryKeeper says: "The
fact that the cross-bred birds lay
soft-shelled eggs is conclusive evidence
that they are over-fat. It shows also
that crossored birds are more liable
to take on fat than the pure breeds.
Instead OF rendering them delicate, it
is evidence that they require less food,
and that they have partially been
changed from being prolific layers to
meat producers This tendency to
take on fat by cross-bred birds is the
cause OF persistent settlers, anG we
are confirmed by every experiment in
our claim that when hens become fat
they are more apt to become broody"
II this authority is correct, it would
appear that our farmers who keep
hens for eggs are making a mistake in
crossing their flocks as much as is
common. When new blood is intro
duced it should be from the same
breed. All this may be usually true,
but there are some cross-bred hocks
that are great egg producers. t
Authorities agree that the variation
in the color of the yolk of eggs is due
neither to the breed OF the hens nor
their age, but to the coloring matter
OF the food consumed. The richness
or the paleness of the color so often
noted does not qualify any more
than the annatto used to color butter
indicates it's quality. In times of
drouth OR late in the season, when
plants lose their bright color, eggs
have paler yolks. Clover or corn-fed
hens give plenty of color to their
eggs. III.
Feeding Pumpkins to Hogs.
The National Stockman says: "The
farmer who is SO fortunate as to have
a good supply of pumpkins has
valuable food in thensas part ra-
ton for his fattening hogs. It is
claimed by some that hogs will tatten
on them as their only food. We
would not care to risk the statement
SO far as to undertake to fit q lot Of
hogs for market with them. We
would feed as many each day as the
hogs would eat up clean and then give
them all the corn they could consume
besides. Young hogs with ration of
pumpkins each day will stand much
longer feeding OF corn than they would
if fed corn alone. It is wasteful way
of feeding, to throw out enough corn
or pumpkins, or both at one time, to
last the hogs two or reedays. Their

Cleanliness in the Dairy

A creamery man writes: ''The churn,
butter worker and all utensils that
come in contact with the butter should
be washed first with hot water and
soap-and good soap, too, not COM
mon three-cents-a-bar rosin soap; this
will take off all butter or grease, but
will not thoroughly cleanse the uten-
sill on account OF the Oil or fatty sub
stance in the soap itself, and to over
come this rinse with boiling water.
Cold water alone will not do, as it will
cause very small portion of the soap
which has been dissolved in the suds
to harden and remain on the utensil. "
Valuable Hints.
Fowls and eggs are always in de-
mand.
In preparing poultry for market
dress as nicely as possible.
Select the warmcst place in the
gardens where the drainage is good
on the south side OF hill if you have
such thing, and plant your grapes
there.
Did you ever think that a weed was
something of a blessing to some peo-
pie? It is. It compels them to do
what they would not do but for weeds,
cultivate the crop.
Raw meat in moderation, chopped
fine and fed about thrice week will
stimulate egg production One pound
OF meat is sufficient for Is hens. Some
cook it, but raw meat is better by
far.
For any one wanting a white fowl Of
excellent laying qualities the white
Minorca Will be sure to please. Like
the white Leghorn they have their sep
arate admirers and the qualities Of
each are more or less distinct.
The man who believes-and acts on
his belief-that cows should have NO
shade in the pastureso that they wont
loose anytime from eating by laying
in shade should, be compelled to eat q
day bareheaded In the hot sun.
For scalding poultry, the water
should, be as near the boiling as pos
sible, without actually boiling; the
bird, being held by the head and legs,
should be immersed and lifted up and
down IN water three times; thia n axes

sirable. The weight OF testimony is
against them. Some farmers are still
planting them, but for every such one
there are FIVE who are digging them
out, For the first 10 years the pros
pect for good fence is bright. 1t con-
tinues to thicken, and when we'll kept,
is not too high to be easily trimmed.
This is the case when the trimming has
been done three or four times a year.
But the stubs are left an inch or two
longer at every trimming, and in time
the old wood must be cut down foot
or two, and this is an exasperat1ng
piece OF work. The trimming must be
done each time just before the thorns
harden, no matter how much other
work presses. A little delay makes
serious trouble. But all this could be
endured if the hedge made a trust
worthy fence. 1t gives fine promise,
but soon after it reaches Il condition
OF trustwortbiness hog holes and
breaks begin to appear in it. It re-
qulres constant mending, and is never
safe. 1t robs the earth of plant food
and becomes a nuisance. Notwith-
standing the work of uprooting a
hedge fence, a very few possessors Of
hedges over 10 or Is years old are
willing to let them stand unless they
are farmers who have ceased to trim
them and are careless OF the appear

Straw.

Farmers have been slow to learn
that they cannot afford to burn
straw. II it is not wanted for feed it
should be rotted and returned to the
soil. It's analysis does not show o.
high manurial value, as it contains
much carbon that is not valued as a.
manure, but herein may we be led
astray by the tables and theory. Its
mechanical effect on all soils that are
inclined to pack is great. It lightens
and warns up the soil, and let's the
air in to feed the roots. It IS good
absorbent, and should be used freely
in the stalls, when not wanted for feed.
Return all straw to the soil either in
form of animal manure or in it's
usual form after rotting.

Weaving Colts.

For weaving colts provide a good
box stall large enough for a number
to be weaned. Feed them in it for a.
week or more, so they will get used to
it. See that their man: ers and feed
boxes are in order before commencing,
and provide a good vessel to hold
water for the night. as it will require
two or three gallons per head each
night. A large iron kettle has rend-
cred good service in my barn. Cleanse
the vessel once in every "a hours, as
colts prefer the water fresh and clean.
Having lived mostly on liquid food
for five months, then turning sudden
ly to solid, the youngsters need some
thing to moisten it. By having
water within their reach they will
drink little and often, which will do
them more good than larger quanti-
ties farther apart. Confning a wean-
ling in his stall from four in the even
ing until seven the next morning, or
Is hours, is too long to have them do
well.-Exchange.

Village Farming.

Mr.. John W. Bookwalter owns co.
900 acres OF land in Nebraska, and he
proposes to undertake the establish
ment of o. modern Utopia upon it.
The plan consists OF a colonization of
the farmers in a village that he will
build, aud that will contain schools,
churches, halls of entertainment,
libraries, etc. He thinks the present
farm life is one Of privation, and he
expects to furnish his farmer colon
lists with all the advantages of the
towns. The practical farmer can see
many obstacles in the way of a. sue
cessful working of this plan. 1t is, of
course, slightly modelled after the
European farming village, but the con-
dltlons in America, especially in the
West, are not favorable to it.
The American farmer, on relatively
cheap land, and rails ing low-priced
products, must work with machinery,
and thus till large tracts Under these
circumstances very few could have
farms close enough to a proposed viii
lage to permit of their making homes
IN It,. Western farming is. and of
necessity must be, on a. rather extern
slve scale that will not permit of a
concentration of the people. In a
country where land is high because
the demand for it's products is great,
small tracts given up to vegetable
farming and furnishing more OppOr-
tunity fol- labor than SO times its ex-
tent III our Western land, adapted to
grain farming, will permit village farm
ing, but we predict it's failure for the
present in our country.

food should be given to them sweet
and clean at least twice aday."
Another plan of feeding pumpkins
to hogs that has been found to pro-
duce excellent results, is to begin
early in the fall, when the fattening
hogs are in the pasture lot; give them.
all they can eat as long as the supply
lasts, then begin with the corn
Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs
quite rapidly, but the pork from such
feeding is soft and undesirable, and
needs a, finishing with corn to make it
first-class.
Pumpkins are cheaper than corn
besides being a specially health-giving
food. hence the fat and flesh added in
the beginning is more economically
produced and the profits proportion
ately increased.
French Way of Fattening Fowls.
The writer has often been asked
about the French method of stuhing
birds IN the forced fattening process
which is in vogue somewhat in the
east and might be worked just as pro-
nCaOly IN Denver. Ihe mOdus Oper-
andi is simple enough. There is amin
strument consisting of a rod, piston
and a treader, with a long slender
tube attached. The fowl that is to
be fed is held by the machine, the tube
is inserted down it's gullet and man
turns the treadle with his foot. BY
this pedal movement the feeder is set
IN motion, and gently as a nurse
would force tonic down a sick mans
throat, the stuff is inserted into the
bird. All the time this examining op-
Grafton is going on the fowls are kept
in pens and no other kind of ''vituais
or drink' is given them They wax
fat on the treatment. By this pro-
cess the flesh of the fowl can be flaw
ored to any taste customer desires,
and it becomes as soft and sweet as a.
capon's. The result is more than
anything else like the poularde Of the
French markets.-Field and Farm.
