DIPPING SHEEP.

The necessity for dipping sheep nr-
pears only when parasites infest tho
stock. These parasites are of two
kinds, tho sheep thick and tho scab
mite. Lice or other kinds are some
times, but rarely, found to iufcst II
flock.
Neither Of these parasite enemies
eau develop out of nothing. They ex-
ist in the flock wholly through con-
tageous contact with living in.ecs.
The object of dipping sheep. there
fore, should be TO eradicate insect
enemies from the flock, for il these in-
secis are thoroughly and completely
destroyed they will not again infcst
tho flock till it comes in contact with
living parasites. Thoroughness is the
key to success in dipping sheep.
One bath in a parasite destroyer
will kill the ticks that infest the AMI
mails. But fences, sheds, yards and
other places which the flocks has come
much in contact with will retain
enough auimal parasites to rein feet the
flock, And such places cannot be
wholly cleaned of the pests. Effective
treatment requires that the sheep
should be thoroughly dipped three or
four times in one season at intervals
Of two or three weeks. Ii this is done
At shearing aud during tho following
and the farm can be so completely rid
Of the parasites that future treatment
will be unnccessary.-[Western Stock

PalpitntiOn OF the Heart.


BY palpitation of the heart Is meant
the sensation either of irregulalily in
heart action or of rapidty Of heart
beats. The person who cxl cricncc:
1t Is usually alarmed by the symptom,
and calls in tho doctor.
But In most cases of this sort which
are brought to his attention, the
physician finds nothing out of the way
with the heart, and hence of danger TO
the individual. The cause of the Ill
sa,ion Is elsewhere. In tho mai ,rity

larity or like sensation of heart

symptom. palpitaiion Is valuable
to the physician in that it directs the
attention OF the patient TO the heart.
An unusual sensation IN this region
usually leads one to consult his ply
sician at once. Symptoms felt in
other parts of the body usually wait
for "the more convenient season."
Doctor Austin Flint was once sum-
moned to attend II young lady dying of
heart disease. Tho family Informed

merely to satisfy the lady's friends.
since they all understood the fatal
nature of her malady.
Tho patient lay in n room from
which not only light but everything
that might lead to The slightest ous
excitement was excluded. Ii was su. =
gcsied to the docton that an exalnin =
tion of the chest be omitted, and that
all communication with tho patient
should take place through n friend,
lest the eXcrtion should result in i'm
mediate dissolution.
To this the doctor objected. When
admitted to her presence. he found
that she answered his questions IN
whispered monotoncs. Examination
of the chest showed that there was no
disease. and consequently no danger.
The story was told to illustrate the i'm
portancc of thorough examination be-
fore deciding on an opinion.
Palplatiom does, however undoubt-
cdy occur in cases of real disease, aud
whenever 1t occurs its cause should be
found out and rcmcdicd.
Among the common causes of pail
pitution ARE to be numbered the ex ces-
sivc use of tobacco, tea, coffee, alco-
hol, or of certain drugs, hysicria,
excessive excrtion, hunger, privation,
fatigue, fright or loss of sleep, and

written for the occasion by DR.. Oliver wef

Our Father while our hearts unlcarn
The creeds that wrong Thy name,
Still let our hallowed altars burn
With Faiths undying flame.
Not by the lightning gleam Of wrath
Our souls Thy face shall see,
The star of love must light the path
That leads TO heaven and Thee.
Help ns TO read our Masters will
Through every darkening stain
That clouds His sacred image still,
And see Him once again!
The brother man, the plying friend,
Who weeps for human woes,
Whose pleading words of pardon blend
With cries of raging foes.
IT, mid the gathering storms of doubt,
Our hearts grow faint and cold.
The strength we cannot live without,
Thy love will not withhold.
Our prayers accept, our sins forgive,
Our youthful zeal renew.
Shape for us holier lives to live,
Aud nobler work to do.

purpose as well. With this they were
secured. The next was u washing in
salt water, and the last washing was
in water slightly swcetcncd, into
which he usually put fcw dried rose
leaves or some swcct-smciling herb.
They were well dried between the
washings. and he said tho bees liked
