WILL SHE SMOKER

lFrom the nineteenth Century,
Motherhood has always seemed to
me the crown of woman's life. Who
can suppose nicotine to be a useful
preparation for the young life to be
launched into the world? And for the
nursing mother, with cigarette, what
can we say? We should have to bury
all our pictures of the Madonna faith
oms deep, that they might not behold
SO unlovely a sight! Still, my other
reason is dear to me, and 1 should like
to recommend it to you.
1t seems to me that in learning to
smoke women are binding themselves
with new letters. There is the cost
no inconsiderable item, as 1 am told, If
one has fine taste-we may be sure
woman would have that. Then there is
the further burden of a smoking cos
tume-we can hardly suppose women
will be less fastidious than men in
this respect; but, above all, there is the
burden of a notwithstanding nee
essity of life, which imperatively
Graves satisfaction. Now, we women
are, as it is, bound hand and foot to
artificial wants.
We have idols of the house, idols of
the toilet, idols of society, idols of
fashion, and now, in the name of
breaking with an old tradition, which,
as we see, has much to be said in its
defense, we propose to enslave our
selves afresh, and to sacrifice to a new
idol. more exacting than any of these.
In the matter of clothes alone, think
how many times fashiona Bile woman
changes her costume every day-to
breakfast in, to ride, to drive, to drink
tea in, to dine, and now, alasI to

A LONDON REFORM SUNDAY.

TFrom the London Daily News.]
Acting on the suggestion of many of the
clergy and ministers of religion in all de-
nominations the London Reform Union
is taking steps for the institution of a
London Reform Sunday" 1t is suggested
that in one Sunday in the year the clergy
and ministers within the administrative
county Of London might specially devote
themselves to quickening the sense of cit
izenship, the feeling of corporate respon-
sibility, the recognition of social obliga-
lions incumbent upon every. London citi-
zen 1t is, of course, not intended that
the clergy and ministers should make
themselves the advocates of any particu-
lar scheme of reform, still less of any
particular party or organization: The
overcrowded and insanitary. condition of
the dwellings of so many of the working
population, the demoralizing irregularity
of their employment, the horrors of the
sweating system, the drawbacks arising
from the segregation of the rich and the
poor. the lack of healthful recreation,
beauty, or rest, in ''the cities of the poor"
the ravages of drink, vice and crime,
amcng the poorly-fed, badly-housed, and
casually employed, it is felt, are. subjects
which ought to enlist the sober Judgment
ard active help of the ministers of relig-
ion. and of all devoutly- minded people.

The presence of a very minute portion
of chloride of sodium common salD and
carbonate of lime Chalk, limestone), in
potable water, is not always Injurious to
highly charged with the latter salt, is
decidedly so. It has generally been sup
posed that If lime were not freely taken
into our system daily by the use of cal
careouS water, our bones would not re-
ceive the proper amount of mineral mat
ter for their normal development. This
is to some extent true, but the carbonate
is not the only. salt of lime required for I
this purpose; it is the phosphate which
we get from the cereals lwheat, oats,
barley, etc.) and other solid food, and
which is required, not only to give solid
ity and rigidity to the bone structures of
the body, but also to build up the brain
and the nerves. This salt contains near
ly 40 per cent of lime, or rather. of the
metal calcium, which is abundantly suffl-
Gent for these purposes.
Water containing an excess of either
the carbonate or sulphate of lime, is
capable of producing conditions OF the
conditions which no treatment can re-
move. Fragilitas ossium, or brittleness
of the bones, occurs frequently in mid
dle-aged and old persons, and is due en-
tirely to an exceS of carbonate of lime.
The bones become abnormally brittle,
and break from the slightest causes.
Such fractures occur most frequently in
the long bones, as the femur, or thigh
bone, and are very slow to unite, because
there is an excess of mineral and def
cheney of animal matter in the bony It's
sues.
Calcareous degeneration of the arteries
of the lower extremities, and of other
parts of the body. is also due to a de-
post, in more or less abundance, of the
salts Of lime. The smaller arteries of the
feet and legs not unfrequently become
ossified, or rather calcified, thereby in
terfering with the healthy circulation of
the blood in these parts, and give rise,
especially in persons of advanced age
to the most serious consequences. Senile
gangrene is attributable, in almost all
cases. to an obstruction of the circula-
ton from calcareous deposits in the dis
tributing arteries of the lower extremi-

POINTERS FOR POULTRYMEN.

AS an insecticide poultry are sue
cess.
Crowding produces few eggs, besides
it engenders disease.
1t is we'll to remember that the lay
ing hen is always the working hen.
Millet seed makes one of the best
feeds for young chicks so does whole
wheat.
Pullets and yearlings make the best
LAYERS. Old hens are to be preferred
as sitters.
Raise sun flowers freely. Their
seeds are so relishable and nourishing
or the fowls in winter.
Small fruit growing and poultry are
| kindred industries, and with due care
can be made to pay well.
If you would have your poultry
healthy keep small tlocks and allow
=. ten square feet to each fowl.
Ducks will thrive on coaser, cheaper
food than hens or turkeys. which
materially reduces the cost of keeping
them.
Keep your laying hens busy. That
is, give them exercise by throwing
their grain feed upon the floor and COW
ering with chatf, cut straw, and the
like.
ANY kind of fresh vegetables are
good for hens in winter. A patch OF
rye sown in sheltered spot where
they can get it whenever the snow is
Off is best Of all.
Fowls need sulphur. Their feathers
contain between i and 5 per cent. OF
sulphur. Penetrating, as it does, to
every part Of the system, it is a remedy
and assistant to the fowls ailments.
Too close inbreeding is sapplng the
foundation Of health, hardness, growts
vigor and fecundity in breeding stock
In some cases inbreeding to some
extent is advisable, but generally the
safest plan is to avoid it.
Hens need lime for the formation O.
egg shells. Old plaster, broken lime
stone and crushed oyster shells are
about equally good for this purpose
They get most of the lime used fo1
shells out Of their food and water.
All poultry yards should be larg'
enough to let one-half of them be uset
at time, so that the other half ma,
be airing. Half of a yard should bt
sown with grain and turnips. This
gives the hens plenty Of green food
which is very essential for egg produc
ing. Besides that, it gives them clean
fresh ground to scratch in, which helps
to ward off disease.
To make your fowls healthy, giv'
them plenty Of green food, meal an;
gravel. Give them whole grain twice
a day, oats, wheat and corn in this
proportion: One quart of corn, foul
of wheat and four of oats. Give plenty
of fresh water. Their houses for roost
ing should be up from the ground an(
free from draughts. The perches mus
be kept painted with coal tar. If thi:
is done every six months, it will keel
off the vermin.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1894-05-31

Hens kept in yards and fed on good,
wholesome food are preferable to those
which run about and gobble up every
thing that is loose. Hens are the fill
thiest fowls in the world; the buzzard
can not hold candle to them in this
regard, and the eggs and flesh are af-
fected by the food hens eats. If con-
sumers realized what eggs are COM
posed of and what they contained,
every poultry raiser would have to tell
where he kept his hens and what they
were fed on. Eggs which are laid by
hens properly fed, have one-third more
nourishment than those which are laid
by hens whose existence is a daily
scramble for something to eat.

A Few New NeyerS.

Never fail to keep an appointment.
Never call on people just at bed time,
or during dinner, or before they are
down stairs in the morning.
Never stop people who are hurrying
along the street and detain them for
ten or twenty minutes.
Never, when you see two people en-
gagged in earnest talk, step in and
enter upon a miscellaneous Converse :
ton.
Never begin to talk about :: this,
that and everything' to one who is
trying to read the morning papers, OF
book, or anything else.
Never tell long stories OF which you
yourself are the hero.
Never inconvenience people by com.
ing in late at church, theatre, lecture
or concert.
Never talk when others are singing
or doing anything else for your amuse
ment. and never, the instant they have
finished, begin to talk upon a differen
/ topic.

Plenty of Sunlight for Chickens.

Sunlight is more agreeable to the
hens than anything else. They abhor
darkness, and will not accept dark
poultry house, preferring exposure to
cold and sunlight to warmth and
darkness. A dark poultry house is
nearly always damp, and becomes a
fruitful source Of those diseases Incl
dental to winter The more glass used
in poultry house the more comfort
for the hens. True, glass radiates
heat during the digit, but as fowls
seldom suffer from cold if protected
from winds they will not be injured
thereby. 1t is much better to have
them in warm and light house dur
ing the day, as they will be kept in
greater vigor. With plenty of glass
the wood of the house absorbs large
amount of heat, which partially recon-
penses for that lost by radiation. and.
as radiation may be lessed by the use of
muslin curtain. to the window the
advantages secured by large windows
will be beneficial to a great degree
compared with compelling the hens to
live in a gloomy place. Poultry Keeper.
