Loving Brothers and Sisters.

One Of the saddest declarations ever
made was that of a man who had
lived q stormy domestic life on account
OF the claims Of property.
"Don't talk to ME about the love Of
brothers and sistersW he said, bitterly.
"At heart they hate each other"
The evidence of history gives the
lie to this saddening conclusion.
Among the most beautiful souls we
know there has been the strongest and
most lasting fraternal attachment.
The beautiful Margaret of Navarro
was devoled 10 her brother. Francis ].
When he was apparently dying at
Madrid, she found her way to him
through privation and danger, and
succeeded in etfecting his dellverance.
When he was ill at distance from
her, she went every day and sat down
on stone in the middle of the road to
catch the first glimpse of u messenger
afar off. And she said: "Ah! who
ever shall come to announce the re-
covery of the king, my brother, though
he he tired, jaded, soiled, disneveled,
will kiss him and embrace him as
though he were the finest gentleman
in the kingdom"
When he died she seemed heart
broken, and she did not long survive
him.
Sir William and Caroline HerscheI
seemed to have but a single thought
in their common occupation of study
ing the stars. One swept the heavens
with the telescope, and the other pa
liently noted down the results. To-
gether they reached old age, always
interested in the same pursuit, and
always devotedly attached to each
other.

,JOscDh Cook Oh Dancing.

Joseph Cook, having been called on
for an opininion for card playing and
dancing. wrote recently the following
letter;
"rhere is Il famous French proverb
which says, 'Ou la vertu tinIt, Ia cou-
mence le vice. where virtue ends,
vice begins see no virtue in
what is known to-day as the round
dance, nor in social card playing.
These are ante~chumberS of mischief,
even if they are not themselves the
worst form of mischief 1t is safest to
keep out Of such ante-cllaElbcrS.
am assured hy those whose work has
given them opportunity to know the
facts ut first hand that hundreds of
gamblers have found fashionable card
playing the beginning Of their road to
ruin, and also that the commencement
of the unrcportable degradation of
thousands of abandoned women has
been in the modern ball and round
dance. For one, | always maintain
that card playing and dancing, learned
by Respectable young people, may
easily become Il bond of union be-
tween them and other people who are
not so respectable, and SO be u snare
to those who are yet in their largely
inexperienced years. - -MiciGan Ad-

Children grow more rapidly during
the night than they do during the day.
In the daytime, while the child is
awake and active, the system is kept
busy disposing Of the waste conse-
quent on activity: but during sleep
the system is free to extend its opera
tions beyond the mere replacing of
wornout PARTICLES (; hence the rapid
growth.
This is why 80 many invalids need
50 much rest and sleep. The system
has been taxed for years beyond its
ability to repair the tissues, and hence
the organism has become worn and
disabled from the accumulation OF
waste products, and disease has result
ed. With the proper conditions res
tored and dense of perfect rest
nature will reassert herself, clearing up
the clogged and dirty tissues and re-
storing the organs to their normal
condition.

Faithful Service.-A shepherd had
driven part of his flock to neighbor-
ing fair, leaving his dog to watch the
remainder during that day and the
next night, expecting to revisit them
in the morning, Unfortunately, how
ever, when at the fair the shepherd
forgot both the dog and the sheep, and
did not return home until the third
day. His first inquiry was whether
his dog had been visited. The answer
was mo" "rhen he must be dead, !"
replied the shepherd, with tone and
gesture of anguish, "for | know he
was too faithful to desert his charge"
He instantly repaired to the heath.
rhe dog had just sufficient strength
remaining to crawl to his masters
feet and express his joy at his return,
and almost immediately after ex-
Dired.

Alum will cure fever sores.

Strips of brown paper will clean
glass bottles or decanters when all
other things fail.
Alum meal used instead of soap will
keep the skin smooth in winter and
ward off sunburn in summer.
If your face looks red and shiny in
warm weather, bathe it in hot water

The bottom of your hen house
should be filled up until it is higher
than the surrounding ground, TO avoid
dampness.
The natural food of the horse is
which he will grow so large, so healthy
or live so long.
Ifyour hens catch cold, give them
q little turpentine. Kerosene oil is
also used, and a small pill of canIphor
gum will help them.
The hoy who has been an attentive
student ut a good agricultural college
will show in after years on the farm
the value OF his training.
Mulching is valuable in winter to
prevent crops from injury from alter
nate freezing and tbawing and in
summer for retaining moisture.
Too many cows for the pasture, for
the grain bin in winter and for the
help to properly milk, prompt the
remark that there is 10 money in
dairying.
In France every fowl is fattened sep
erately by hand. The process is a

Sell off the straw and buy better and
more concentrated food. Better
results i'm feeding and hetter manure
will be realized. The rule must not he
adopted as Jan invarahle one but its
adoption is often valuable.
When grit is needed, pound up some
pluss for the hens, and it will assist
them to grind their food. Do not use
cOlored glass, however, as it may con-
tain poisonous matter. You cannot
put your broken glassware, china or
earthenware to better use than to
pound such material for the hens and
they will relish it.
You seldom see sick fowls where
fresh ground green bone is feed three
or four times week. 1t is not SO
much extra food, but takes the place
rf more than its weight in wheat or
other food, besides aiding digestion,
toning up the system, helping along
the bone and egg making process, and
building up the flock in every way.
