Scaly legs is one of the many things
which should never be seen in the
poultry yard and simply shows neg
lect on the part of their keeper. 1t
is very mmon affection, easily
cured but much easier avoided and
greatly disfgures the fowls. These
scales are caused by innumerable very
small parasites, not visible to the
naked eye, but easily seen through a
microscope. If the fowls receive
proper care and attention to their
wants these scales Will never appear,
but if they do they should be attended
to at once, for the sooner it is at
tended to the easier it is to cure
them. These minute insects form in
thin. fat scales at first and if not de-
strOyed early will incerase very rapidly
and form white, wartish Jumps, and
if not given any attention at
all, will finally become very
troublesome sores. 1t is very easy
to cure this unsightly affection if it
is attended to when the scales first
appear, by simply bathing the leg
and applying a mixture of sulphur
and lard to the affected parts This
will cure it effectually; but after the
scales become hard and dry they
must be bathed several times before
they are soft enough 60 pick off. and
then the mixture OF lard and sulphur
used two or three days in succession,
which will act as a healing salve,
and as the sulphur is very obnoxious
to insects of all kinds, their legs will
not be troubled again soon Clean
up their legs and do the work thor
oughly and keep applying the sui
phur and lard and the baths until
their legs are perfectly free, and you
may be sure they will not be troubled
again very soon.-Farmers Voice.

I sat down at my dss!, thinking to
myself that folks didn't know what a
trouble Bennie was; but all the afternoon
I Kept remembering how glad his little
face looked through the pare when ne
saw US coming home, and how timld
and scrro Wful he was after l scoloeo
him.
When school was out, and Marian
and I went home, there was Bennle
watching again, but he didn't call out
to ue. We clapped our hands and
laughed, and then he laughed, too, ana
met US at the door. Something had
come over US both, so that we did not
want to push him away. We got the
fairy-b)ok and finished it, and We let
him see all the pictures. Then we
wanted 70 co Our SUMS for next Gay,
and 1 thought to myself:
"Oh dear. now we shall haVe a
time!'' But Marian said:
''Bennie, want to do sums, too!
There's an old slate in the closet, and
III give you pencil"
And then, don't you think, that little
mite drew up his little chair and sat
Gown just as sober, and made little
marks and lines all over his slate till we
had finished every one Of our sums, and
he thought he was clpherlng just as
much as we were. Then he trotted up
to Aunt Ann for her to see, and she
Looked as pleased as couli be.

seemed like an accIdeut, has been the

possibly been beguiled into believing
there was a shadow CT truth in the
assertion. There is usually will,
will to be prosperous, or famous, or
brilliant ; but when one looks for the
way, he is likely to find that it's some
other fellows way, not his. Looking
back over the history of this Republic
for more than century, We note the
career of many of its famous men, men
Of giant intellect, ennobling qualities,
and commanding presence. They were
imbued with natural ard ls1dsble
ambition. Having been entrusted ~
their fellow citizens with q measure Of
responsibility, and designated to par
ticipate in the functions OF govern
ment, they ultimately aspired to the
acme of official honor-the Presidency.
They had the will, but they failed to
find the way. Who shall say that the
first Napoleon, having signally de-
feated Blucher, had not the Will to
conquer Wellington too? But the way
was not open to him, and he met ha
Waterloo.
The foregoing are fair specimens o.
the material that enters into the COM
position of much of the bathos that
passes for sage counsel, and, doubtless,
many deluded persons have believed
that these bits Of, irrationality we're
the ''open sesame!" TO all the hidden
treasures of life, only to bewall their
eredulity.
'tAdvice that is given in good faith,
and that possesses inherent value, is
frequently useless because of nom
adaptabillty. That round peg can
not De fitted to square hole is truI
ism not more obvious than that Doa
recommendation can be used indls
criminately, and it is the effort to ap
ply these wearisome old platitud<
to new conditions that bring well in-~
tentioned counsel into disrepute.
In the little book previously men-
toned as one of my possessions, I fad
this: "Don't whistle in the street, in
public vehicles, at public assemblies,
or anywhere where it may annoy.
Mem. Don't whistle at all" I can
not forbear adopting the admirable
style, and at the risk Of being charged
with inconsistency, write: Don't give
advice unasked; don't give it unless It
fits the case. Mem. Don't give ad-
vice at all.

triHed with, for although not grave
disease in ltscI,, tonsjlitis is often
followed by othe, serious troubles.
Those subiect to quinsy should take
every precaution to prevent an attack
coming on. They should not wear

ing to bed. Oar great-grandmothers
were in the habit of using for this pur-
pose stocking which they had worn
during the day, and for some supersti-
tlous reason they always selected the
one worn on the left foot!
Once the quinsy has set in the pa
tient should keep in bed, and have hot
lamentations or poultices applied to the
throat. Gargles made with the tine
ture of capsicum, or the chlorate Of
potash, are very useful in relaxing
the tissues. Locally the best applica'
ton is the ordinary powered bicarbo-
nate Of soda, which should be busted
on to the affected tonsil. The SUI

often very effective.
Owing to the great difficulty in swal-

should be given in small but frequent
quantities. A lit le stimulant is often

easily opened, then the sufferer should
be made to inhale the steam Of hot
water with little creasote dropped
into it.
When the abscess ripens it should
be lanced; but this ia very delicate
proceeding, and can only be performed
by surgeon, for the tonsils are stu
ted near very important and large
blood-7essels. A popular method OF
"bursting the abscess" is to endeavor
to make the patient laugh heartily; the
effort to do so usually results N the
breaking of the abscess from the strain
On the already tense tissues.
Before concluding, it may not be out
of place to say few words about the
enlargement of tonsils frequently met
with IN certain children. The condl-
ton is the result of a scro!ulous con-
stitution, which should receive imme-
dat. attention, otherwise the enlarged
tonsils are likely to prove troublesome.
A loEg course Of cod-Iiver oil and malt
will prove very et1icacious, and the en-
largement will often disappear when
the child grows into adolescence. Oc-
casionally, however, the enlarged gland
has to be e1cised, but this is b7 no
means a dangerous operation. Tie
safest plan is to seek earl : medical ad.

alike, and no general rule can be ap-
piled to the treatment OF enlarged

tincture of iodine to The neck, near
the angle of the jaw, often acts bena-
fclally, and every heaithful condition

bathing, ill he found helpful.
