One Of the first peculiaritics to strike n
visitor 10 the house Of commons Is the free
dom which permits members TO keep on
their hats during the progress Of public
business But this liberty has its limits
A member may not wear his hat as he en-
tcrs or leaves the house, or when he stands
at the bar. although he may put II on M
soon a. he takes his seat. II colleague
engages I'm conversation with him, he I'M
covers his head, and no must he OF course
when he rises TO address the house. An
other requirement Is that member must
only make "A speech from one OF the nccus-
toned seats, never from the entrance, the
bar or the gangway.
The same rule il observed when he rises
10 order In the course Of debate, but II he
raises a point Of order concerning a division
which has been already called he must
keep his seat and speak with his hat on.
Even the speaker In such cases does not
rise when he interposes with his rulings,
40 that the proceedings assume a somewhat
easy going conversational character. On one
occasion OF the kind the late Professor Faw-
cctt, who then sat below the gangway, was
unable. being blind. to find his own hat
quickly enough. He overcame the emcr-
gcncy, however, by borrowing the well
known soft hat Of his ncigLbor, Mr. Joseph
Cowen. which. although IL neither fitted
nor suited him, yet served the purpose OF
the moment
The effect was ludicrous. but not more so
than at another similar crisis when Mr.
Gladstone hastily borrowed the hat OF an.
other occupant OF the front opposition
bench and found Il 40 much too small for
him that he had TO hold Il on until the
point In dispute was settled.

Cracking shoes are an intolerable
nuisance. Yet some shoes will creak,
notwithstanding every precaution. For
such intractable wear it is recommended
to pour small quantity of linseed or
sweet oil upon flat surface, like a
platter, and allow the soles to stand in
the oil over night In that way they
will not only lose the squeak, but will
become saturated with the oil. making
them proof against dampness. Another
cure may be effected by taking them to
a cobbler and having one or two pegs
driven into the center of the soles. =

The summer with Poultry.

The advantage of the summer season
is that the cost of keeping poultry is
but very little, as the larger share can
be picked up by the hens if they are
on IA range. The profit in summer is
fully as large as in winter. for the hens
will lay twice as many eggs in summer
as in winter, and thus compensate in
quantity for low prices. 1t should he

grain except sparingly. as the hens will

In some cases excessive heat causes
very fat fowls to succumb. With an
abundant supply of grass. seeds and
insects there will be no lack of varie
ty. Grain should not be gisen at all
when the hens are inactive. They
shonld be made to seek their food as
much as possible, and by SO doing they
will keep in better health. They
should have plenty of fresh water. and

When poultry house is lined with
arred paper it is frequently the case
that the house is damp. This is due to
several causes. among them being that
new lumber gives of more or less
moisture, and tarred paper condenses
the moisture of the room. When the
house is thoroughly seasoned this may
not happen. The doors and windows
should be kept open during the day.
and during cold weather u lump oi
stone lime should be placed in the cor
ner of the room TO absorb the mois
ture. 1t is not due to the exhalations
from the birds, but rather to the damp
ness of the atmosphere, which is con
densed by the cold tarred paper Or
dinary building paper does not con
dense the moisture. The damp boards
will sfso give off considers BILE moisture

CLEANLINESS in SURGERY.

The Cardinal Precepts of the Science of
Operating In the Present Day.
There are three locations. so to speak
the absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator
is justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
strnments, and the integument cover.
ing the part of the patients body at
which the operation is about to be per-
formed. How is the requisite cleanli-
ness in each case secured? SO far as
the hands are concerned. by profuse
scrubbing with nail brush in soap
and hot water. followed by a thorough
drenching in some antiseptic solution,
as that of one in two thousand of per.
chloride of mercury: so far as the in
struments are concerned. by steriliZing
them, that is. by boiling them in water.
OF by passing them through the flame
OF spirit lamp or placing them in IA
steam sterilizer. and then, when the
operator is ready to begin, by putting
them into Il receptacle containing an
antiseptic solution, as. for example,
that of carbolc acid Lastly, so far as
the patients integument is concerned
by washing the part first thoroughly
with soap and water, having previously
shaved it if necessary. and afterward
with "A perchloride of mercury solution.
or. if the part be greasy. by removing
all the greasy material by~scrubbing it
with ether.
Without going into further details
these are the cardinal precepts of the
science of operating in the present day
OF course, each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use of antiseptic dressings until heal
ing has taken place. The results of this
method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compare
son with those which the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain. What hap
pens after. say. the amputation of Il

eventful convalescence of the patient
The dressings are not touched unless
the temperature and the pulse of the
patient indicate, by some disturbance.
that it would be eXpcdient to examine
the wound. The temperature and the
pulse are the surgeons guide; he takes
his cue from them. Nothing can be
amiss in the wound If these remain
normal, and thus it follows that large
wound. such as that following an ann
putation, heals soundly from first to
'ast without any suppuration. What

former days! Suppuration was then
thought to be an Indispensable part of

the top. In either case the table must
be provided with foot lever as shown
in the lower cut. The middle board is.
solid and the outer ones fastened to it
by means of hinges. The outer boards
must be free so that they can be
raised to vertical position. The mid
die board is covered with strip of
leather one foot wide which is firmly
fastened at one end of the board. A
strip of iron is riveted across the other
end of the leather to the middle of
which light chain is attached. Just
inside the strip of iron are three holes
in the leather indicated by H, H, Fl. in
the upper cut. S, S, S, are grooves
made in the leather for holding the
twine in place. To prevent waste of
string use three separate balls of
twine, which can be kept in box un-
up through the holes H, H, Fl. place
it in the grooves S, S, S, and fasten
in the notches N, N, N, at the
front end of the table. Spread
out the fleece and turn up the side
leaves and fasten them with the hard
wood hook. Now take up the loose
end of the leather and turn it toward
the front of the box rolling the fleece
at the same time. Pass the end of
the chain over the front of the table
and hook it to the foot lever as shown
in the lower cut. BY pushing the foot
lever downward, the fleece can be
rolled tightly. Bring the ends of the
twine through the holes in the leather
and tie. The knots will pass back
through the holes. Turn back the
leather, drop the side leaves. replace
the twine and the box is ready for
another fleece. This form of box is
somewhat expensive, and difficult to
construct, but it has the advantage of
rolling the fleece tightly and keeping
it compressed until tied. A fleece that
is not parted in shearing will. when
tied in one of these boxes, present a
white, fluffy surface and be more at
tractive to the buyer than if loosely
rolled up on the ground or floor and
tied with common twine. Fleeces
thus bound occupy less space and are
more easily handled.

PIGS At PASTURE.
A Practice which Promotes Health, Thrift
and Growth.


and Growth.
The breeding sows and all young
pigs should be turned to pasture
through the summer months. 1t pro-
notes health and thrift to give them
the free air to breathe in. the clean
earth to live on and burrow in. and the
fresh grasses to pasture on. Don't be
afraid of the roofing. 1t does the pigs
good and never hurts the land.
But, il is sometimes said. if the pigs
are all at pasture we lose the large
pile of manure that would he made in
the cellar and the fields will suffer to
that extent Not ut all. The pigs
make as much manure at pasture as
when confined in pens The only diff
ference is that in the case o. the pas.
turing it is scattered over the land
where it is always needed.
If one wants the effect of this meth
cd of manuring on his titled fields a
good practice is to fence off lot pro-
portionate to the number of pigs and
give them the run of it for the season.
The matter of distribution of the
manure is easily provided for by chang
ing their feeding grounds from time to
time during the summer. The next
season the lot can be plowed and
cropped. the manuring having cost NO
labor or carriage while the pigs are
changed to pastures new.
In many cases there are lots on the
farm rough and foul with brakes,
shrubs and bushes, that may be cleared
through such management. But on q
larger scale. a more intelligent man
agement and the appropriation OF
means easily within reach. there may
much more of this kind of stock be
made profitable on our farms than is
now kept.-Rural World.

PORClNE ESCAPE PIPE.
Peculiar Functions Performed by the Leg
of a Hog.

OF u Hog.
The hogs legs perform function
not known to any other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge of waste water or sweat not
used in the economy of the body.
These escape pipes are situated upon
the inside of the legs above and below
the knee in the forelegs and above
the gambrel joints in the hind legs
but in the latter they are very small
and functions light; upon the inside
of the fore leg they are in the healthy
hog always active, so that moisture is
always there from about and below
these oritices or ducts in the healthy
hog. The holes in the leg and breath,
ing in the hog are his principal and
only means of ejecting an excess OF
heat above normal. and when very
warm the hog will open the mouth and
breathe through that channel as well
as the nostrils.
The horse can perspire through all
the pores of it's body, much as man
and cattle do the same to limited ex-
tent, but the hog never. His escape
valves are confined to the orifices upon
the inside of his legs.
People often wonder why it is tina,
the hog dies SO suddenly when he runs
rapidly or takes quick and violent ex.
ercise by fighting, but when you con.
slider the few escape pipes. their small
capacity and remoteness from the cav
ity where the heat is generated. the
wonder is not that he dies quickly wher
overheated, but that he lives as long a.

POULTRY PIckINGs.

Duck eggs. when Matching. require
less moisture than do the eggs of hens
If strong chicks are desired, see to it
that the eggs are from healthy stock
that has not been overfed.
HARD-sHELLED eggs produce the most
vigorous chicks. Those from soft
shells are apt to be weakly.
THERE is more profit in raising geese
than chickens. and it is surprising that
progressive farmers do not go in for
them more.
SEE to it that the setting hens have
fresh water and plenty of fattening
food, and do not neglect the supply of
gravel and the dust bath.
WHEN shipping poultry see to it that
the coops are large enough to permit
the fowls to stand up and strong
enough to endure rough handling.
ONLY those chickens which are in
tended for early marketing should
be pushed. With the others it is only
desirable to maintain thrifty growth.
EGGs with dark yolks are much rich
err and more nutritious than those
with pale yolks. The color of the
she'll is no indication of the richness of
! the egg.
DURING the first six weeks chicks of
the different breeds weigh pretty
nearly the same. After that time,
though. there is steady and continu-
Gus gain on the part of the large
