CURIOUS CURE For NERVOUS
HEADAcHE.-An apostle of physical
culture says that an excellent and
never-failing cure for nervous headache
is the simple act of walking backward
Ten minutes are as long as is usually
necessary to promenade. 1t some.
times, however, requires more than IL
minutes to walk it off at all one is very
"nervous. But it is not understood
that it is necessary to walk chalk
line. Any kind of walking will do
provided it is backward. 1t is we'll tc
get long, narrow room, where the
windows are high, and walk very slow
ly, placing first the ball of the foot on
the floor and then the heel. Besides
curing headache, this exercise pro
notes graceful carriage. A hal
hours walk backward every day will
do wonders toward producing a grace
full gait.

AN IRRESISTIBLE BAIT For RATS
According to Washington correspon:
dent to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, an interesting, not to say val
liable, discovery has been made by
Captain Weedin, in charge of the
animals at the Zoo. The building is
infested by rats, and how to get rid of
them has long been perplexing ques-
ton. Traps were used, but nothing
would tempt the rodents to enter. In a
store-room drawer was placed quan-
tity of sLnAower seeds, used as food
for some ofthe birds. Into this drawer
the rats gnawed their way, fact which
led the captain to experiment with
them for bait in the traps. The result
was that the rats can't be kept out.
A trap which appears crowded with
six or eight rats is found some morn
ings to hold Is. They are turned into
the cages containing weasels and
minks. The later will kill a rat alb
solutely almost before one can see it,
so rapid are it's movements. The
weasels are trifle slower, but none OF
the rats escape them.

CARE OF LAYING HENs.-The lay.
ing stock should receive the best OF
care now. AS large space as posi-
BILE should be cleared to give the fowls
q chance to get to the ground, and il
on the lee side of their house the better,
as they do not like cold winds. See
that the grit box, shell box, busting box
and charcoal box are kept we'll filled.
Give as often as possible, every day il
you can, some green stuff. Give cut clio.
yer hay, either dry or steamed, mixed
with the mash, for breakfast; the hens
relish it, and it is an excellent egg food
And don't forget the cut green bone.
Unless you have running water, OF
time enough to watch and see when
they have drunk and empty the water
dishes, give the water warm so it will
not freeze so quickly. The water
dishes should be emptied every night.
Renew the nests often. Clean out the
droppings as often as you can; never
let them accumulate more than week
Use absorbents. and keep the manure
in dry place until ready for use.

mix into thick paste with glue, pound
it into the hole, and when dry it will
make the wood as good as new. Frank
Christian, Jr., in Stoves and Hardware,
says he has followed this for 80 years,
with unvarying success in repairing
bellows, which is the most severe test
known. Often by frequent attachment
of new leather to old bellows frames,
the wood becomes so perforated that
there is no space to drive the nails,
and even if there was, the remaining
holes would allow the air to escape.
A treatment with glue and sawdust
paste invariably does the work, while
leads, putty, and other remedies always
fail,

p@ Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing they can do to is eat
apples before retiring for the night.
Persons uninitiated in the mysteries OF
the fruit are liable to throw up their
hands in horror at the visions OF dys-
pepsia which such a suggestion may
summon up, but no harm can come to
even delicate system by the eating OF
ripe and JUICY apples just before going
to bed. The apple is an excellent brain
food, because it has more phosphoric
acid in easily digestible shape than
other fruits. 1t excites the action OF
the liver promotes sound and healthy
sleep, and Thoroughly disintects the
mouth. This is not all. The apple
helps the kidney secretions and pre-
vents calculus growths, while it OBJ
viates indigestion and is one of the
best preventives known of diseases of
the throat.-Exchange.
