The physician was young, so was the
patient The case was strange; none of the
symptoms. correspondent with any known
disease The physician came every day,
and the more he came the worse grew the
patient. Presently the doctor began to
suspect that the trouble was mental-of
the heart, perhaps-and at last he charged
the patient with the thing. IL believe, !"
he said, shat there is nothing in the world

and with bushes and tears the patient
pleaded guilty to the charge. And does
the man know"
@Alas p she replied, che does not even
suspect.
''Can you tell him p

And then the physician pleaded with the
patient that she should tell him who it was,
that physician is father confessor, and
that it might relieve her to confess all to
him.
"Since yon have asked me" she said
with confusion, ''come tomorrow; then per-
haps, if | can, | will tell you.

put into his hand little slip of paper on

NJ. Paul de Cassagnac is practically an
extinct volcano. OF late his interruptions
in the Chamber have not been so frequent
or so noisy as they at one time were, and
in the field of politics he does not count as
serious factor. One of the best stories
told of NJ. de Cassagnac has as its hero NJ.
Menier the chocolate manufacturer. NJ.
Menier, who was deputy, had mounted
the tribune and commenced to speak, but
NJ. de Cassagnac SO persisteptly shouted

great difficulty in proceeding. At length,
in desperation, NJ Menier turned on his
tormentor and shouted that if NJ. de Cas-
sagnac would pay him the bill his uncle
had owed him so long for 'chocolat," he
would feel very grateful. The Chamber
roared, and NJ. de Cassagnac at once sub

SUBSTITUTING FOOD.

We are often asked to state what Is
the best food for this or that purpose.
1t is dilllchit TO give sat sfactory re-
plies to such questions.
Fowls require heating food in win
ter. Corn is perhaps the best and
cheapest carbonaccous or fu-mnking
food. But wheat and buckwheat con-
tain carbonaceous matter, although IN
smaller proportions. Fat meat, lard
scraps aud cottonsecd meal aud clover
hay also contain IL.
Nilrogenous matter (nlbumcn) Is
rcquDcd along with carbonaceous.
and is especially necessary Cor laying
hens. Lean meat, raw Or cooked, IN
sects, bran, coitonsccd meal, linsced
meal, milk, clover hay, all contain
this valuable food element. Corn has
comparatively little OF it, whc't a
larger proportion.
Succulent aud bulky matter, such
as grass and vegetables. is also quite
essential to poultry, not only for the
nutrimcnt it contains, but to dilute
and separate tho more concentrated
grain and meat diet.
If poultry keepers will study the
general question of the classes of food
elements they can frequently subs'i-
tute one for the other according as
they have this or that article at
hand, and according to the price of
the various articles in their nearest
markets. Farm Journal.

FAIRS ARE GREAT EDUCATORS.
