THE MODEL WIFE,
As She Is Pictured by the Rev. DR.
Thorpe, of III ar:fOsd

AUB oh -
From the Hartford Courant.l
She looketh w<ll to the ways CT her house
hold.-Froverbs xxi, -.
The elements goiug to make up a
model wife are usually quite as i'm
portant to be found in the model
husband, and first let us say that
the model wife makes herself an in
terested partner in all the affairs OF
the husband. Not to be supported,
but to support, in every laudable
way by sympathy, commendatlo1,
and real and manifest interest should
be the constant aim of the wife.
The model wife should have larger
faith in the husband, magnify in
stead of minify his ability, his good
qualities. Let him feel constantly
that, whatever the world may say OF
him or disbelieve in him, the wife at
least has large faith in his ability
and disposition to succeed. The
modt1 wife will try to make the home
the best and brightest place on the
earth for the husband. The home
may be humble, but it can be clean
and bright with the light of love.
The wife should study the art OF
home making. which enables the
husband to say: "H ONE is always
where my wife is
TIE model wife makes herself an
intelligent companion of her hus-
band She sets out to know some
thing of the husbands daily work,
mechanical or professional, and
studies to comprehend somewhat
the scope of thought upon which his
mind is, for the most part, severely
bent. The wife of the newspaper
man learns something of newspaper
making; of the merchant, something
of the store; of the mechanic, some
thing of machinery; of the lawyer,
something OF law, thus making her
self an intelligent companion OF her
husband
The model wife studies to make
herself attractive to her husband;
especially does she do this quite as
much after marriage.
Many a wife was a perfect butter
fly before marriage, who, through
neglect of her personal attire, be-
comes quite uncomely, not to say
repulsive after marriage. The model
wife always puts on her company at
tire for husband. She never allows
herself to talk to others of the frail-
ties of her husband. That the hUs-
band has frailties, makes mistakes.
comes short of the highest ideal, will
doubtless be quite apparent to all;
it is not necessary nor best that the
wife should go peddling them along
the street or among the peighbors
The model wife will always avoid
the habit or spirit of fault finding
Probably there will be enough to
criticize, faults plenty if you look for
them, but it rarely pays to dwell
upon them or make them to appear
prominent in the home life. Better
to forget and forgive The model
wife is Christian wife. She has
come to love God, the giver of all
good, and she desires and tries to
follow Jesus Christ, His Son, the
highest model Of human life. She il
richly possessed of the spirit o
charity and she lives, or tries to sc
live, that she can take her husband
along to heaven.

A bit of old crepe is the very hest

jurors must be Able to Reaa.

From the Greenup (Ky.) Gazette.l
Circuit Judge Green in a murder
trial at Williamstown decided that
not being able to read disqualified
a person from sitting on a jury. Tt
is the first time the question has
been raised, we believe. Section 225
of the Criminal Code provides: 1.-The
Court shall, on motion of either par
ty, and before argument to the jury,
instruct the jury on the law applica-
BILE to the case, which shall always be
given in writing" Congressman
DickersoB made the poiat that each
juryman should be able to read the
instructions himself, and if he could
not do this he was disqualified. The
Judge sustained the objection.

Gapes of Fowls.
Gerald Mccarthy, Entomologist Experime
StatiOn.1

Gerald Mccarthy, Entomologist Experiment
Station.)
'sGapes'' is a disease well known to
most growers of poultry, and often des-
troys whole broods of young chicks.
The disease is caused by a very slender,
scientifically known as syngamus ira
chealis. This worm is characterized by
the permanent union of the paired
sexes, and cannot be parted without
rupturing the bodies. The female
greatly exceeds the male in size.
The matured worms are found only
In the wind-pipe of fowls to which they
cling leech-like on the walls, sucking
the blood of the parts. The female of
each pair produces 2.0o0 10 s,ce0 eggs
which remain within hSa body until
size dtes. They are then leose1 by the
Decay OF the parent body. and Il they
roneAn within the wind-pipe of the
fgwl thsygEng worms emerge from the
shsA AAAsw days, and in a few days
are nss1ns couples and begin to repro
duee a9y4 The Matching of the egg
occurs only when it is kept constantly
moist and NJ a temperature of about So
degrees II. The sexes never pair ex-
cept in the wind-pipe of fowl. If the
temperature is below 60 degrees E. the
eggs will not hatch, but will retain
their vitality for year or more, pro-
yiaGu 1ACy arO ASPt Hois1, uence con.
tagious gapes is a wet land disease.
When the affected fowl gapes and
coughs for breath some of the worms
with their eggs are elected into the
water troughs where the fowls FREE
quently congregate, evidently trying
to a1lay the Inflammation in the wind
pipe by drinking copiously. The
elected worms or eggs are greedily
eaten by other fowls present, or the
water containing them is drunk thus
spreading the disease, and in large
docls producing > veritable epidemic.
REMEDIES, The best remedy + pre-

vent1on. Keep the fowls on dry per-
meable soil. Feed generously, inc1ud-
ing chopped onions or garlic occasion
ally. Wash out the water trough or
pan daily with boiling water. If gapes
is present among the fowls, separate
the sick ones, add to each quart of
drinking water four fluid ounces of .
solution of salicylic acid, made by dis
solving 16 grains of the dry acid in four
fluid ounces of clear, boiled rain water.
The pen in which the sick fowls are
kept should be as dry as possible, and
the ground should be sprinkled twice
daily with water, to each quart of which
add four fluid ounces of commercial
sulphuric acid.
Where only few fowls are affected
a bit of camphor about the size of .
grain of wheat may be forced down the
throat of each and will by its odor kill
the worms. One drop of turpentine
dropped into the throat has given good
results. Powdered asafoetida, 10 grains
per head, may be fed in a mash Of corn
meal. Chopped garlic or strong smell
ing onions will also be found beneficial
Turpentine rubbed on the outside of
the throat will sometimes cause the
worms to let go their hold. The use of
a small feather or hair loop, dipped in
turpentine and thrust down the wind
pipe of the sick fowl is often effective.
The worms may either be withdrawn or
else coughed out by the chick.

j. P. B., Germanton, N. G..
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Botanist Ex-
pertinent Station) Seed should not be
soaked in blue stone the treatment will in
jure the sprouting power OF the grain and so
cause an uneven stand. The only purpose which
such treatment could serve would be the de-
struction OF the spores of corn smut, (Ustilago
maydis) But the spores of this fungus are
more likely TO be present in the soil or manure

The best preventive of corn smut is rotation of
crops, and the removal and destruction by fire.

The Oxford Tornado of May Sd, 1893.

The Oxford Tornado of May Sd, 1898.
&C. F. vonHerrmann, Meteorologist Experiment
Station.)
The tornado which occurred at Ok
ford on May Sd, 1898, was the most Sc
we're storm of the kind which has oc-
Cured in North Carolina since 1884.
On that account it was investigated by
the State Weather Service. Full reports
have been received from Mr.. u. W.Lyon
DIR. j. E. Wyche, r. o. Gregory. and an
excel mt map, reproduced below,
showing the path of the tornado from
DIR. J. NJ. Hays.
The storm struck Oxford at minutes
before o'clock p. m. It was local
whirl within the area of a general
storm passing over the state from south
to north, and occurred jeSt at the mo-
ment the Critical line'' or trough of
low pressure passed Oxford. It is re-
markable that there was an entire abb
sence of any close or murky feeling
such as is usually said to precede a tor
nado. The day was cool, the tempera-
ture was about 10 degrees; a moderate
thunderstorm prevailed with brisk
south to southwest winds. The total
rainfall was about inches.
The path of the tornado was from
southwest to northeast through the
city, and its width about rs feet. The
buildings demolished or injured are m
dicated on the chart by the letters A
to n. -Four houses were destroyed and
nine others injured. A fair estimate of
the damage to property places the
amount at $4,000. Only one person Ia
