The nenents or Sen yoynges.

The sanitary effects of a sea voyage are
very decided First is the ocean climate
Sea air stimulates the appetite, improves
digestion, assimilation, secretion and ex
erection. The glandular fosfcles and or
gans Of the alimentary system are awak
ened to high state of functional activity.
Relaxed muscular tissue becomes firm, the
heart is invigorated, the circulation is car
ried on more actively, respiration is deep
ened, the pure air inhaled promotes a
quickened oxidation and tissue change,
the skin grows soft and blooming, the tone
of the nervous system is raised and u
cheerful state of mind induced. The
traveller gains flesh and strength, sleep is
sound, lassitude vanishes and irritable
nerves become drm.--London Lancet.

Hints from Tho Farm Journal.

Old asparagus roots sometimes die out
or are destroyed by field mice. We usu-
ally replant such hills with strong roots
To prevent the grubs Of the asparagus
beetle from devouring these tender shoots
we watch them and rub off the eggs and
grubs by passing them through the fin
gers.
1t is thrifty farming to raise, match
and train steers for work teams The de-
mand for them is increasing. Teach
them to walk fast, Devons can't be sur
passed for the purpose.
When you make underdrains be sure
also to make map locating them per-
fectly so they can be found for repairing
without too much digging.
The farmer who must NOW weeds to
find his potatoes is convinced that potato
growing doesn't pay.
1t pays to run the seed wheat through
the tanning mill twice. The mill should
be good one.
If the buttermilk be rich suspect loss

Her overshoo nefused to Let DO.

Last Sunday lady living in the south
part of the city came home from church
and sat down in chair to rest. She is
not small body and did not have any
more room than she needed in the chair.
Her husband kindly consented to take
off her rubbers for her. The first one
came off easily, but the second one
stuck, He gave a sudden jerk at it, but
instead of the rubber coming off his
wife came out of the chair and landed
heavily on the floor. Yesterday after
noon she was taken to the hospital to be
treated for o broken hip, the result of
the attempt 10 take off the rubber. Last
night she was reported comfortable

skill, Mr.. Architect, to prove that this pet
theory Of mine is a true one. Give me a
veranda which will extend across the EN-.
tire front of the house. Then ! must have
a good sized hall, with a vestibule to
shut off drafts, for my house will have n
frontage to the north. If you can make
the hall sufficiently large to use it as a re-
ception room, / shall be pleased. Since the
windows I'm the hall are on the easterly
side of the house, should like n stained
glass window above the landing Of the
stairs, for the effect will be very pretty
upon sunny mornings-this soft, tinted
light.
"The dining room also should have
bay window facing the east, for the sun
light is always cheerful at the breakfast
hour, and gives me inspiration for the en-
tire day. Let the communication between
the kitchen and dining room be made
through the pantry, upon one side of which
should be hung door with springs or
hinges so that it will be self closing and
keep out the odors Of cooking from the
dining room. / am quite well aware that
the latest improved ideas upon plumbing
argue that a portable range in the kitchen
is to be preferred over brickset appara
tus, but l am somewhat old fashioned in
some things and shall insist upon having
the latter, for like the color Of the brick

Cabbage Salad.

One large head of cabbage, one cup of
sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, two table
spoonfuls of butter, one cupful of vinegar,
half teaspoonful of ground mustard, one
dozen hard boiled eggs
Cut the cabbage with a sharp knife,
shaving it very fine, leaving out any wilted
leaves and all hard pieces; put into large
dish, add all the ingredients and mix we'll
together. Boil the eggs hard, about five
minutes; throw them into cold water, take
the shells off and chop ten of them fine and
mix with the cabbage. When ready to use
put the salad in dish, slice the other two
eggs and garnish the top. For a small
family half will do.

less than three feet in height, yet he was Of
perfect proportions. He spent many years
in travelling about TO various places, and
several amusing anecdotes are related Of
him.
The story is told that on one occasion
O'Brien, the Irish giant, who stood feet
inches high in his stockings, having been
invited to appear before some gentlemen
at dinner, while the guests were looking
up with wonder at his towering stature,
suddenly drew from his pocket the little
Polish count and placed him on the table,
to the amazement and admiration of all
who were present.
1t is curious that giants who are 50 very
tall, have, it is said, very short lives, sci.
dom living much beyond forty, while
dwarfs, who are short generally, have long
ones The life Of this tiny Pole was
stretched out to the age of ninety y-eight
In 1907 a clergyman Of Durham, England
who had met the little count on his travels
prevailed upon him to take up his resi-
dence in the neighborhood Of that city, and
there he spent the last forty years Of his
life. AS he was clever and witty, spoke
several languages and was of very engaS-
ing manners, he was much courted and
admired in the society of Durham until
his death, which took place in 1887

The Little Dog Under the Wagon.

Come wife" said good old Farmer Gray,
Put on your things, tits market day
And we'll be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down"
Spot2 No, we'll leave old Spot behind,
But Spot he barked and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
Away they went at good round pace,
And joy came into the farmers face,
Poor Spot" said he, did want to come,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot,
And keep tho cattle out of the lot"
I'm not so sure of that" thought Spot,
Tse little dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold
And got his pay in yellow gold;
Then started homeward after dark,
Home through the lonely forest. Harkl
A robber springs from behind tree.
Your money or else your life" says he;
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The little dog under the wagon.
Spot ne'er barked and Spot neer whined,
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and dirt
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground;
The robber uttered not q sound,
While his hands and feet the farmer bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.
Poor Spot, he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money, the farmers wife,
And now n hero grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears today;
Among his friends, among his foes
And everywhere his master goes
He follows, upon his horny toes,
The little dog under tho wagon.

middle of the piece A. This crank
should be about l foot long. In use
Iput the piece A against the side Of
the shock where it is to be bound.
Thrust the windlass through the hole in
the same and into the stalks. Then put
the end Of the rope around the shocks,
put it through the hole in the end of A;
wrap it around the end of the crank and
wind it up until it is tight enough.
Fasten the crank with cord to the end
of A and bind the shock with straw
band, which will hold the stalks when
the rope is removed, although it will not
be strong enough to draw them up as
tightly as the rope will.-Practical

between them is handy wicker flap,
which serves as table, over which is sus-
pended a capacious basket for newspapers,

Advice to a Daughter.

Finish every day and be done with it.
For manners and for wise living it is a
vice to remember. You have done what
you could; some blunders and absurdities
no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as
you can. Tomorrow is new day; you
shall begin it we'll and serenely and with
too high a spirit to be numbered with your
old nonsense. This day for all that is

SECOND STORY,

studio was in the third story of the tower
which feature of the design, together with
the long, sloping roof and pretty dormer
window, broad veranda and neat octagon
bay window on the side, leaves little to be
desired as regards the exterior appearance.
From every point of view it looks we'll and
would make a home of which any one
might be proud. The lowest cost of the
building would not be less than s., 500 or
$4,000, and could easily be made to cost
much more by using elaborate and expen-
sive finish inside. The main rooms are
heated by hot air furnace.
