Never go from a warm atmosphere

warmed in its passage through the nose
before it reaches the hlngs.
Never strain the voice in the effort to
speak while hoarse. Wait until the
hoarsenesS is recovered from, or the
voice may be permanently injured or
difficulties Of he throat produced.
Never stand still in cold weather for
any length of time in the outdoor air,
especially after having taken active ex-
ercise; and never stand long on the
ice or snow, or where the person is
exposed to cold wind

Whatever is done toward making the
diet desired and appreciated promotes
its digestion.
Water and air are food-stuffs Wa

The food of a person doing ordinary
work should be proportional as fol-

1t has been found by experiment that
tea retards digestion. An infusion of
per cent. Of tea causes a perceptible
delay; per cent infusion will delay
the digestion, sometimes, as much as
twelve times the normal period; a 10

He Came Or Best.

He was no sooner seated in the coy
parlor than she took the initiative.
'Since you proposed to me last week
I have given the matter great deal of
thought, Mr.. Chumpley."
'Mr. Chumpley! Why, you have call
ed me BERTHE for ages"
That's neither here nor there /
have concluded that I must decline the
great honor you have proffered me-"
''Ah! Certainly. But you must par
don me for not understanding just what
you refer to. have SO much to think
Of in a social way, you know"
''But you must recall the last CONVEX
sation you had with me-"
''Deuced stupid Of me, Mamie, but It
has slipped my memory. Something
about the horse show"
'Never mind, Mr. Chumpley. Don't
incur the risk Of overtaXing your mind
in trying to recall our little talk
80 sorry! But fellow will forget
some things. Must do it. you know, #
you're in the whirl. Can't you just give
me hint?"
''1t is of no consequence at all, sir. L
only have a vague recollection of the
conversation myself. But I'm not feel
ing well, Mr.. Chumpley, and must ask
YOU to excuse me for the evening"
TOO bad. And you look in brilliant
health. Only temporary indisposition,
of course. But I'll not detain you. I'm
going straight home and cudgel my
brain till bring back that talk
DO nothing Of the kind. | never
want to hear of it again."
When he was gone she acknowledged
to herself that there was much more
to him than she had suspected, and
that he had decidedly given her the
worst of their little sparring match.
Chumpley walked down the street
chuckling and congratulating himself.
She always boasted gleefully OF the
men whom she had refused, but he had
no fear that she would add him TO the
list-Detroit Free Press.

ton. The grocer might utilize it in
detecting adulteration in goods, while
it has been suggested that bank paper
can be tinctured with special scent,
imperceptible to the ordinary sense OF
smell. but which could be easily de-
tected when placed in the scentograph,
lessening liability of counterfeiting. 1t
is also claimed that the machine will
be popular in homes, hospitals, SICK
rooms. where the air can be kept per-
meated by most delightful fragrance.
The machine is about twelve inches
square and eight high. Mr.. Kramer
saws it can be manufactured for $50. It
is thought he will have no trouble in
obtaining financial aid for organizing
a company to place is on the market as
soon as the patent is granted.

Artin agriculture is coming to be more
and more noticeable every day. With
the advent of new methods, improved
implements and a wider knowledge Of
the field, the agriculturist is rising high
er and higher in the field Of useful or
ornamental art as the years go by. We
may say that sharp competition is no
small factor in this progressive move
ment says The American Student.
Take, for example, the manner in which
certain products are prepared for the
open market. The Improvement in the
condition Of certain dairy products and
fruit on market in the last few years is
truly wonderful. The reason, Of course,
is that people always buy that article
which is put up in the most tasty and
attractive style. and are willing to pay
a little more for it, With this change
comes a more wholesome effect upon
the article itself, and disease is much
less disseminated through food at the
present time than formerly. Greater
precautions are taken now than ever
before in preventing the spread of con-
tagious diseases in this manner, and
with the increase in the size OF the cities
and the greater liability to i'll health
these precautions cannot be observed
too carefully. Thus the agriculturist,
to be successful, must keep right up to
date in his readings and methods.-Wis-
conSin AgriculturiSt.

Rrief Hints.


It is positively asserted that to drink
a half pint of hot milk or hot water
will have the effect of producing sleep
in eight cases out Of ten.
Inmaking green apple sauce, pit few
dates, cut them into quarters, and add
them to the sauce just before removing
from the fire. They will be great i'm
provement to the sauce.
Until it is time for the new nuts to be
brought into the markets, last years
crop is all that is available. Almonds
and English walnuts may be much i'm
proved and freshened by soaking them
in luke-warm water for a few hours.
In camping, or where one does not
wish to take extra bedding along,
warm covering may be made by bast-
ing together three thicknesses Of news
paper and putting it under the spread.
1t is very warm and light, and may be
thrown away when not needed.
1t would be much more economical if
the supply Of laundry soap for the COM
ing winter is purchased now, the bars
the storeroom or high pantry shelves,
leaving a space between each piece.
The soap will then harden SO that when
used it will not waste as quickly.
The average maid needs to be taught
that the washing of china and glass is
more Of an art than she realizes. The
dishes should be cleaned with a piece OF
bread crust instead of the usual knife,
which will scratch fine dishes. Neatly
pile them together before preparing the
water. and then the work does not ap-
pear to be burden.
To keep a jacket in good shape it
should be kept on hanger when not IN
use. If it is hung by loop at the back
of the neck, it will soon give the gar
ment a dragged appearance. II loops
are used they should be at the arm
hole. and the two ends Of the loops
fastened together, not having a two
inch space. as is common custom.
Then hang the jackets upon two hooks.
medium-sized paper pad with a
lead Dencil attached hung over kitchen
table will be found Of great convenience.
If articles needed are written down
11non this pad they will not be over
looked. When the housewife starts for
market the outside slip can be pulled off
and taken with her instead Of her trust
ing to her memory, with the danger of
forgetting some simple but most i'm
portant article.

Grating Wax,

Any grating wax is liable to melt in
a very hot sun. The remedy is imme-
diately after applying the wax wind
a strip of thin cloth around the CRAFTS.
This will adhere to the wax and keep
it from melting. The seed of any good
apples will make strong and healthy
seedlings for root grating, but the most
desirable seed is supposed to be crab
apple Seed out Of which the inferior
seeds have been sorted by hand.
Receipt for Grating Wax.-Four
parts rosin, two parts tallow, one and
a half parts beeswax; melt all together
and pour into cold water, then work
same as molasses candy.
For Root Grafts.-Four parts rosin,
two and quarter parts talloW, three
fourths parts beesWaX.

The women trades unionists of Gin

The prosperity which is due in the
world following universal depression is
already being felt in Europe, where en-
terprises of all kinds are having a
boom. and it is expected the cheering
influence will soon be felt in this coun
try.

Hard Soap,

A simple way to make small amount
of hard soap is to buy can of pre-
pared potash and dissolve it in one
quart of cold water. The potash will
case the water to boil like lime when
the mixture cools, and just before it is
cold stir in five pounds of melted grease.
Stir the soap for ten minutes over the
fire and then pour it into an old dripping
pan or some similar sQuare-cornered
dish. An old wooden box if the joints
are tight is the best thing to put it in to
harden. Where there are stationary
Washtubs these may be utilized to cool
the soap. When it is soft cut it into
suitable sized bars and let it become
hard. 1t can be used twenty hours
afteritis made, but it is better for ripen-
ing month.-Rural World.

A machine which he claims will take
it's place by the side of the photograph

a Missourian, who moved to Bingham
ton. n. Y, about year ago. 1t is
used to receive and magnify odors of
all kinds and is called a scentograph.
A patent is to be applied for, but it has
been already practically tested. It will
take a liquid heretofore regarded as
odorless and distill the most delicate
perfume. A drop Of perfumery or es-
sence placed on the receiver will pro-
duce an odor that would in a very
short time cause symptoms of suffoca-

horticulture Hints.

A bird in the bush is worth two in
the hand. Don't kill the birds.
Howell County, Mo-, boasts of the
largest peach orchard in the world.
If shrubs require pruning, the best
time to do the work is just after the
Towering is over.
On farm near a market, more mon
ey can be made from gardening than
from general farming.
Apples in the cellar will keep much
better if care is taken to keep the tenn
perature even, and as low as possible.
Keep a watch out for the rabbits;
they will girdle the young fruit trees,
especially if there is snow on the
ground.
A good position for the new orchard
is 70 the north and west of the farm
buildings, if other things are equal
The buildings will thus protect the
young trees from the high winds of
winter
By keeping a register or record Of the
trees in the orchard, one can at all
times tell the name of a doubtful tree
Labels are apt to come off, OF be de
stroyed; the book may be depended

The New Horseshoer,s Law.

The evident purpose Of the new law
requiring horseshoers to be licensed in
cities of this State, of over $4,000 in
hbitants, is to prevent incompetent
men from shoeing horses in the larger
cities. 1t is a well-knoWn fact that a
large percentage Of the lameneSs of
horses, especially in the cities, is due
wholly or in part to the mutilatiOn Of
the hoof and improper shoeing by in
best every shoeing is an injury to the
horses foot, so that the better the OPP
GRAFTON the less the injury.
HOrSeShOerS, as a class. are welded
to a number of traditional practices
long handed down from generation to
generation, that are directly opposed to
the preservation of the foot in it's natu-
raj, healthy condition. They do not con-
slider the shoeing complete and work
manlike unless they have sliced away
the greater portion of the frog; carved
out the sole until it will readily yield
to the pressure Of the thumb; opened
up the heels" and rasped off the pro-
lCCCluS COfCI1uS lIOlu Lie lOHcI Hall
or two-thirds of the wall by cutting the
hoof down to fit their idea of shoe. in
stead of making a shoe to fit the foot.
The result is that, instead of leaving
the feet as nearly as possible in the
condition in which nature made them
to withstand the wear and tear Of use,
they are robbed of their natural cush-
ion and protecting covering, and SO
weakened as to be subject to concus-
sion, bruises and contraction.
The more ignorant the blacksmith,

derstood as saying that all blacksmiths
are of the class described. There is, oc-

Light requires eight minutes and
eighteen seconds to pass from the sun
to the earth when at its mean distance;
therefore. when we look at the sun we
see him, not where he actually Is, but
where he was about eight minutes and

then always in advance of his appar-
