BUTTER VS.. CoDLIyER. OIL.

English experiments have shown
that good butter is equal to cod-lver
oil for consumptives, and others need
ing 20 be built up in flesh, and that it
is much more easily digested, and
hence it can be used in larger quanti-
ties Many stomachs too delicate to
digest cod-liver oil at all, readily digest
large quantities of butter taken on thin
slices of stale bread.

A WORD FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

The farmers wife has few conven-
fences in the kitchen. She carries water
from an outside we'll when a small
force pump in the sink would not be
expensive and would save many a
weary step. The space about the back
door is bare. This should be sodded
every spring. 1t will keep much dirt
off the porch and out of the kitchen.
A barrel on wheels with a tig'ht-ftting
cover can be conveniently placed and
thus save much carrying of swill. In
the preparations for spring and sum-
mer work do not neglect the conven-
fences for the women of the house

populous empire, with the largest and

he was only a grand duke, he ruled so

He Was just Wondering.

A small boy in Alameda found a
lovely sand heap in front of his fathers S
house the other morning and he built
roads and houses until be was tired of
playing in the dry sand. Then he car
ried a bucket of water and mixed UP a
beautiful mud puddle. 1t was a warm
day, and the wet sand appeared SO cool
and soft that he sat down in it.
The boys mother happened to be
brushing her hair at that moment, and,
glancing out Of the window, observed
him cooling himself. She led him
around to the woodshed by the ear, and
found she would have to remove his
clothes before she could take him into
the house.
''It seems as if Providence had de-
signed it," she mused as she glanced
at the half naked boy and the hair
brush, so she proceeded to bring the
two together in vigorous style. Then
she took him in, put a clean pair of
trousers on him, and made him sit on
a chair. He did not cry, but sat scowl-
ing defiantly.
Now, look here, Frankie" said his
mother, Il don't want you to sit there
and sulk. l don't like to punish you,
but had to do it.

a German Joke.

The Germans have an odd character
a certain baron, who is made RESPONSE
BILE for many absurd and ludicrous
things. Whenever anything partica-
larly striped for whimsical happens it
is straightway attributed to the bar
on. Consequently, many amusing
stories are related of the baron, just as
in this country all kinds of mistakes
have been heaped upon the shoulders
of the late Mr. Stetson, the theatrical
man. At one time the baron went to
Venice, and seeing the pigeons On St.
Mark paused in wonder and began to
count them. He was getting on nicely
with his calculation when some one
tapped him on the shoulder.
Here, you," said the stern-faced bri-
gand, "are you counting those
pigeons?"
Il was,' replied the baron humbly.
Very well, you have to pay me one
Ira for every pigeon you counted
eff that is the law, here are forty
lire responded the baron, counting
out the money.
The brigand looked over it carefully
and took his departure. Then the bar
on became convulsed with merriment
and shcok his fists boisterously after
the retreating figure.
Fool, Idiot.'' he exclaimed. 81

Night Air.

In summer, when the rays of the sun
fall almost vertically upon the earth S
surface, the gradual fall in the tenn
perature of night comes as a welcome
relief from the heat of the day.
During the rest of the year the suns
rays strike the earth more obliquely
and are sufficient to warm only thin
crust at the surface, which loses it's
heat rapidly after the sun has set and
| the temperature of the air falls abrupt
| ly. Under these conditions night air
may become a source Of danger. The
sudden change in temperature calls for
extra protection for the body, and one
should never think of setting out on
even a short journey without extra
wraps. Except in severe weather it
is not necessary to care so much for
the eXtremities, as the circulation of
the blood is maintained in these parts
by their constant motion. But the
chest, as the seat of the bulk of the
blood and the vitality of the body,
should be protected from chill. The
so-called chest protectors are useful;
but nothing is simpler than to habit
uate ones self to wearing woolen un-
derclothing, suiting the weight to the
season of the year. Wool is a poor
conductor of heat, and when worn
next the skin absorbs the perspiration
and prevents the rapid loss of the body
heat. Moreover, when the temperature
falls suddenly at night, the moisture
present in the air is condensed and
falls to the ground in the form of dew.
The dampness and chill form an addi-
tional source of danger, against which
it is necessary to guard, especially in
the matter of footwear. Thicker shoes
and warm, dry stockings should be
worn. The direct rays of the sun kill
many of the microbes that are the spe-
cifc causes of disease. Consequently
night is the favorite time for the evil
gnomes of disease to collect their forces
and make the plan of attack against
mankind PoWeriess against the
warm, bright rays of the sun, they sue
cumb in the unequal contest; but at
night, aided by the slight dampness,
they rise from their hiding places and
are borne away by the constantly shift
ing currents of air upon their errands
of sickness and death. Though this
may seem to be more or less fanciful,
the study of the origin and life Of the
various germs of disease has proved
that the idea embodies truth, and
that night air is favorable to their
propagation.-Yo Comnanion.

How to Keep Wrinkles Away.

A simple preventive against the
appearance of wrinkles is this: Satu'
rate soft towel in very hot water,
wiring it and apply it to the face, keep
ing it there for at least twenty min
utes. Then dry the face very gently.
This must be done just before going to
bed. When travelling, if the skin is
very sensitive, do not bathe the face
except at night and in the morning,
and then throw few drops of tincture
of benzoin into the water, so that it
NAV be made soft and agreeable to the
skin.-Ladies' Home Journal.
