WOMEN INEBRIArFs.

Doctor Hugh Richard Ker, who at one time
kept retreat for women jnebriates, also told
the Committee that the curative process with
women is especially difficult. They are very
Inventive and resourceful in their determin-
alton to get something TO drink Doctor Ker
is responsible for the illustrative story Of the
curling tongs. The women in his retreat
first got their curling tongs. Then, as curl
ing tongs must be made hot, they got some
methylated spirit for the lamp. Next, by
various devices, hot water, sugar and lemon
juice were obtained from one OF the maids.
And so out OF curling tongs came grog and
Il state of intoXcation shocking and startling
10 the proprietor OF the retreat.
Here a member of the Committee recol-
lected that doctor had told the members OF
Parliament who inquired into this subject In
1872 OF a woman patient who drank baeking
because there was alcohol in il rather than
not have something alcoholic. 'I quite be-
lieve il" said Doctor Ker; but surely some
one will say that there is too much backing
in this story Of women drunkards. Another
Doctor Kerr Doctor Norman Kerr-reierred
TO cases in his practice Of ladies well weaned
from alcoholism, and did not argue for the
detention Of women longer than men. Doc
tor Street, who has also had experience of
women in retreats, accounts Tor the in
equality of men and women in regard TO the
drinking habit by the fact that the women
are screened for a longer time and have be-
come very bad before their cases are brought
to the notice OF "a physician while their cure
is more difficult because they have fewer oc-
cupations to divert their thoughts than men.
This harmonizes with Sir Andrew Clarke
view that occupation is part OF the curativ,
process, as the want Of 1t is very often tn,

EXPERIMENTS WITH LAYING HENS.

Belief in the necessity of keeping a
male bird with laying hens is still
quite common. In order to settle this
point a series of experiments was un-
dertaken by the Geneva IN. Y. Sta
tion. The trial was made with four
pens, two of which contained cocker
els, while the other two were without
any. The result showed that a pen of
pullets kept without a male produced
eggs at about thirty per cent. less cost
than an exactly similar pen with which
q cockerel was kept.
Another pen without a male gave
during the first three months about
the same proportionate excess of prod
uct over an exactly similar pen with
which a cockerel was kept. After the
development of the feather-e eating
habit the egg product diminished, but
during eight months the total egg
yield for each pen were very nearly
alike.
In each of the two pens without male
birds some pullets had begun to lay
from one to two months earlier than
any in the corresponding pens in which
male birds were kept.
While eating" usually ap-
pears after feeding for any length of
time an UNMARRIED ration deficient in
some constituents, more especially nj
trogenous matter, the habit has devel-
oped from idleness or some unknown
cause among fowls having a ration
which gave satisfactory results with
other similar pens of fowls fed at the
same time.

LIGHT SHOES For YOUNG HORSES.


The most careful horse breeders are
agreed that the lighter the shoe and
the less it is worn the better. In a re-
cent address before an English agri-
cultural society, Professor Axe dis
cussed the subject, deprecating the
laundering management of the feet of
horses. Often fine ANIMALS are ruined
by being caused to wear their shoes
too early and too long. Standing in
the stable long time is liable to
cause lameness, and could be avoided
by taking off the shoes and substi-
tuting soft leather. Red-hot shoes
should not be applied to the foot of
the horse at any time.
In plowing, cultivating and many
other farm operations a horse will
walk ten to twenty miles day and
advances about four feet alta step. Al
each step the horse lifts half q pound
extra on its two feet, 667 pounds in
every mile. In a days work of fifteen
miles, the horse would lift 1900 pounds
extra or nearly five tons. If the force
required to lift this five tons of iron
could be expended in the work the
horse is doing, much more could be
accomplished. In the light of these
facts is it any wonder that when young
horses begin to wear shoes they soon
become leg weary, have their steps
shortened and acquire n slow walking

TOothache Robbed OF Its Terrors.

Toothacho is no longer serious
thing to treat, and can now be stopped
in the course of two or three minutes
at the outside, and often in half
minute. The method is very simple
Thoroughly clean ont the cavity, take
small piece of cotton, twist il into n
small roll 30 that it will enter the
cavity, dampen the small end and
place upon that three or four granules
of cocaine, about tho size of a small
pin head, press these with the cotton
into the hole mp against the nerve and
the effect will be instantaneous. Every
throb will cease, and this suffer will
think in n few moments he never had
the toothache.

THE GREEDY BOTTLE.

poor, understood boy named Tim, sit
ling by a bottle, and looking in, said, ~
wonder II there can be a pair OF shoes in it?''
He wanted TO go TO a Sunday-school picnic,
out he had no shoes. His mother had
mended his clothes, but said his shoes were
so bad he must go barefoot. Then he took
brick and broke the bottle, but there
were no shoes In it, and he was fright
ened, for it was his fathers bottle. Tim sat
down again and sobbed so hard tha: he did
uot hear step beside him, until voice said /:
"Well what's all this2"
He sprang up in great alarm II was his
father.
''Who broke my bottle2" he asked.
II did, - said Tim, catching his breath, half
IN terror and half between his sobs.
"Why did your
Tim looked up. The voice did not sound
was his father had been touched at the sight
Of the forlom figure, so very small and 80
sorrowful which had bent over the broken
bottle.
"Why," he said, II was looking for a pair
Of new shoes l want a pair Of shoes awful
bad to wear to the picnlc-allthe other chaps
wear shoes.
"How came you TO think you'd fId shoes
IN Il bottle?" the father asked.
''Why mother said SO; l asked her for
some new shoes and she said they had gone
into the black bottle, and that lots of other
things had gone into IL, toO--coats and hats,
and bread and meats and things and
thought II broke it ia find 'em all, and
there amt a thing in il !" And Tim sat down
again and cried harder than ever. His
father seated himself on box in the disor-
derly yard and remained quiet for so long a
time that Tim at last looked cautiously up
I'm real sorry broke your bottle, father
I'll never do it again"
''No, guess you WON'T he said, laying q
hand on the rough little head as he went
away, leaving Tim overcome with astonish-
ment that father had not been angry with
him. Two days aiterward, on the very even
ing before the picnic, he handed Tim a par
eel, telling him 10 open il.
New shoes new shoes % he shouted. 80
father, did you get a new bottle2 And were
they in it2'
'No, my boy, there isn't going to be a new
bottle Your mother vas right-the thing
all went into the bottle, but you see gettinl

me, ] am going to keep them out after this.

A pIsdusrrn nnuNKAnn-

One woman determined that her husband
should know how he looked when he was
drunk. She knew how he looked well
enough, and needed not that any man should
tell her. Her childred also knew by sad ex-
perience, but the man himself had a very i'm
perfect idea OF the state of the case. SO
once when he came home and fell into a
maudlin slumber she sent for the photog-
rapher TO come forthwith and on his arrival
she set him to work. She ordered the pho
tographer to photograph her husband as he
sat In his chair. The photographer did his
work and did II well /; and when the photo
graph was finished and laid beside the hus-
bands plate at breakfast II was revelation,
end the sobered gentleman experienced a
decidedly new sensation. There was no need
OF explanation the thing explained itself.
There was no chance for contradiction the
sun tells no lies, There was no room for
argument. There was only one thing to do,
and that was TO quit and II is very fortunate
that the man had courage and sense enough
10 do it.

KEEpING DUCKS Am GEESE.


The advantage of raising ducks and
geese over turkeys and chickens is,
that if they can be given the range of
a good pasture with plenty of water,
they will need less looking after. They
are hardy, easily raised and require
less expensive food than other poul-
try. To this may be added the fact
that in nearly all cases they are
healthier, being less subject to disease
and free from lice. An additional
source of income is their feathers.
They lay eggs, hatch young fowls, and
yield a good quantity of feathers, and
can, with good treatment, be made
profitable. OF course with either it is
always best to have the larger, better
breeds. Embden geese and Pczin
ducks cost no more to raise than the
other kinds, while they return a much
larger profit,
Ducks, If provided with comfortable
quarters where they can rest at night
and are reasonably well fed, will often
commence laying the latter part of
January or the first of February, and
lay very regularly uhtll warm weather
sets in. Geese begin to lay early in
March and will lay fourteen to
eighteen eggs; these should nearly al
ways be set under hens, as it is often
the case that the mother will not be-
come broody until late. With ducks
it is usually best not to attempt to
hatch ont the first laying of eggs I'M
less it is done in an incubator They
are less trouble to raise in a brooder
than either turkeys or chickens, and
with good feeding can be made to
grow very rapidly, much faster than
chickens, SO that when three months
old they readily weigh four or five
pounds apiece, while chickens will
average about two. Both ducks and
geese require less grain and more
bulky feed than turkeys or chickens,
and it is best, and especially so will
geese, to sell the younger fowls and
keep the older ones for laying anC
breeding, After they are reasonably
well mntured, the feathers can b,
picked regularly several times during

A STARTLING QUESTION.

Everybody knows that a large proportion
OF crime (statisticians claim threc-fourths)
is the direct result of alcoholism. But now
comes scientific writer in an esteemed con-
temporary and asks the startling question :
''Wlll our descendants be criminals2" He
shows that the pathological conditions con-
ducive Of crime are produced or aggravated
by the habitual use Of liquors. Drinking
degenerates nerve tissue, and in particular
ofthe delicate structure OF the BRAIN Hence
there is relation OF cause and effect be-
tween drinking and epilepsy, and insanity,
and morbid nervous conditions generally
which are hereditary.
1t cannot be said that crime is the express
sion OF disease that would destroy moral re-.
sponsibility. But II is certainly true that
morbid nervous conditions intensity the
difficulty of self-control and re-enforce
temptation.-St. Louis Republic.

WASHING oF RuTrER.

The advantages of washed and un-
washed butter are being discussed in
England. Too much washing is ad-
mitted to iuiure the flavor, but little
water is generally used. The Swedish
and Danish butter makers who supply
the English market get all the butter
milk from the butter by repeated
pressure. This requires a good deal
of work, while washing the butter
simplifies the matter greatly. Some
of the best English dairy makers never
use water. In this country we believe
the use of it is universal. Our dairy
men may learn something from the
discussion, which may give them some
new ideas on the subject.

A writer in the National Stockman
says: Massachusetts has 5000 sheep
and $4,000 dogs. Il is not to be won
dered at that the sheep industry is at
low ebb in that state. Sheep men have
tried many times to have dog laws en-
acted by the Legislature that would in
some measure protect their fiocks: but
dog owners being SO much more numer
Gus than sheep owners. all efforts in
that direction are futile. In New York
where there are probably dozen sheep

can be enacted. although at every ses-
sion of the legislature effort is made 10

of justice resting in the people which
will exhibit itself sometime. Well-fed
