Dampness In Poultry Houses.

When poultry house is lined with
tarred paper it is frequently the case
that the house is damp. This is due to
several causes, among them being that
new lumber gives off 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 a lump of
stone lime should be placed in the corr
ner Of the room to absorb the moisture.
lit is not due TO the exhalatfons from
the birds, but rather 10 the dampness
of the atmosphere, which is cona ensed
by the cold tarred paper. Ordinary
building paper does not condense the
moisture. The damp boards viii also
give off considerable moisture in the
room, which will be condensed and
precipitated Oh the colder tarred paper.

HAT PIN CUSHIONS.

Two Pretty Designs Which Can BE Made
at Small Cost.
In these days when hat pins are as
much of a fad and of necessity with
al, as stick pins, it is desirable that APP
propriate receptacles be provided for
them in order that they shall not mar
the dainty toilet cushion with their
huge perforations. Where suspended
cushion seems most convenient the al
ways attractive little japanese doll
may be utilized. Choose one with
head measuring siS inches in circum-
ference. To dress one, as shown in
Fig , in the illustration, fold a half
yard of three-inch ribbon together and
crease it to designate the bottom of
the cushion. Sew thirteen small gilt
spangles along the bottom. with gilt
bead in the middle of each to fasten it
on. Overland the sides of the ribbon
to within an inch and half of the OPP
posite end; stuff with hair or wool and
fasten it around the dolls neck A
half yard of the same ribbon is cut in
two and folded lengthwise for the
sleeves; overland. turn in the ends at
the bottom, and attach to the dress at
the shoulder. Now take yard and a
quarter of half-inch ribbon. fasten it
over the shoulder and tie about the
waist with bow and ends in front, al
though the really Japanese lady al
ways wears her sash ends behind,
neatly tucked up into sort of roll or
cushion. A loop of this same ribbon is
fastened to the belt in the back to sus-

spangles and beads. and finish with a

The Human Ear /.
A NOTABLE LECTURE ON THE SRNsE
or HEARING BY DIR. HARTMAN.

During the course of one of DIR.
Hartman's latest lectures at the Surgi-
cal Hotel, be said: Good hearing is
essential 10 health and safety. A con-
tinual roaring, cracking. aud buzzing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is constant
nervous irritation which will gradually
underIane the strength. Besides tins,
even a slight loss OF hearing renders
anyone more liable To accident, many
persons beng killed every year because
OF pa t,al deafness Many people think
that gradual loss of the sense of hear
ing is inevitable, and that everyone
must submit to it sooner or later.
Hence they make no attempt to find
cure. Th is great mistake. Loss
OF hearing, either in the old or young
pee pie. is nearly always due to cnronic
catarrh OF The head or middle ear.
+ Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes To the middle ear.
The catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear. The symptoms are: Roaring.
cracking. buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. If not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When The case has
not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru.na will cure
every sase. 1t is only after catarrh has
destroyed portions of the middle ear
that Pc ru-na fails to curer All snch
cases should write DR.. Hartman. Co

White Hollands have clear white
plumage, though during summer like
other white fowls. they become more

other varieties and not SO commonly

KEEPING EGGS FRESH.

Methods of Packing Which Have Been
Tried with More Less Success.
While there is yet no known process
that will keep eggs for any length of
time as good as they are when fresh.
they can be kept so as to be marEeta-
bic. We givea few of the many meth
DDS, with this advice: Make a trial on
a small scale at first, and then if your
success warrants,you can increase next
year.
To start with, only strictly fresh
eggs can be preserved, and in packing
they must not touch one another. as
one bad egg coming in contact with
another will soon spoil the whole lot.
The eggs of hens that have been
kept separate from ROSTERS viii keep
better than those that have been fer
tilted.
Another item is To store the eggs in
a place where the temperature is as
even as possible. A cellar, if not too
damp, or a cold storage house will be a
good place.
The temperature should be kept as
nearly sixty degrees as possible, and
the more even the temperature the bet
ter they will keep. Eggs fresh and not
fortified, kept in cool, dark place
and turned half over every other day
will keep month or six weeks in good
condition without any other prepare
ton.
One method of keeping is to make
a strong whitewash and thoroughly i'm
merse the eggs in this. taking care
that the whole surface of the shell is
coated. After they are dry put them
on racks in such way that they can
be turned readily.
Another plan is to take boxes or bar
rels and put in a layer of salt and then
layer of eggs, setting the eggs on
end and taking care not to let them
touch each other.
Some prefer TO use finely sifted coal
ashes, packing in the same way.
Twenty grains of salicylie acid in
one gill Of cotton seed oil may be used
for greasing the eggs all over; then
lay them in racks.
Another plan is to take bushel of
unslaked lime and eight quarts of salt
to sixty gallons of water, or these pro-
portions for a smaller quantity.
Stake the lime with portion of the
water, then aid the rest of the water
and salt, stir it well so that all will
dissolve. Let it settle and cool, and
then draw or dip off the clear pickle
into preserving vessel to the depth
of fifteen inches. Carefully put in as
many eggs as the pickle will cover.
Then pour in a little pickle that is
slightly milky, made SO by stirring in
to it a little of what has settled to the
bottom. Continue in this way as
every fresh lot of eggs is added. Use
only fresh eggs, and be careful not to
put in enough lime to settle in thick
sediment at the bottom. Keep the
vessel in cool place, the eggs always
covered few inches with the pickle.

There is an endless etiquette In the
use Of fans, and with the Japanese the
fan is an emblem Of life. The rivet
end is regarded as the starting point
and as the rays Of the fan expand SO
the road of life widens out toward a
prosperous future. 1t is also said that
the Japanese ogi originally took its
shape from their wonderful mountain.
Fuji-san, which represents to them all
that is beautiful, high and holy. When
one begins to understand all this there
comes salutary feeling Of ignorance,
and we perceive that the japanese may
claim to be among the great symbolsts
in the world. A continuance of such
study might turn the most hardened
European into a Japonophile.

HARDWOOD FLOORS.

They should Always BE Swept with q
Covered Broom.
The hardwood floor is comparatively
new feature of the house, and it is not
altogether strange that housekeepers
do not always know just how to take
care of them. Many of them treat them
as they do a carpet, sweeping them
with a broom-corn broom, which is in
tended well enough to take the dust out
of the meshes of carpet, but not to
polish a hardwood surface.
The same woman who treats her
hardwood floor in this way would re-
fuse to sweep off her piano with a
broom-corn broom. for fear of scratch
ing it. She would proba bly, take d soft
cotton-f flannel buster and wipe off the
dust, and this is exactly what she should
do with her floor. The most convenient
way of doing 1t is to make soft cot
ton-tiannel bag for the broom. The
dust is easily removed from polished
floor in this way.
Such covered broom is also useful
sweeping down the walls, though a
feather buster accomplishes this work
more successfully. There ought to be
a number of these broom covers ready,
so that when they become soiled they
may be washed. Painted piazas may
also be much more successfully swept
with a covered broom of this sort than
In any other way. Even when it needs
scrubbing brush, if it is well swept
with a covered broom. it will look al
most as we'll as II it had been scrubbed
with brush, and certainly better than
If it had been cleaned with mop. N.
