Catarrh and Diseases
of the Stomach.
GOVT AND RHEUMATISM.

DR.. Hofmeister in a recent
lecture says :
"The unnatural motions of the
stomach causing pressure and
belchings, the irritatiens of the
intestines resulting in catarrh of
the bowels, and the inAamed
mucous membranes are the most
fruitful of all known causes of
disease, Out of them grow most
kidney and liver troubles, dia-
betes, all rheumatic affections and

unnatural motions of the stomach
cease. the intestinal troubles be-
come soothed, and health results
from the use of Carlsbad Sprudel
Water. The diuretic effects OF this
water, its quiet action upon the
inaamed intestines are beyond all
praise"

A flock of 90 hens, we'll tended, should
give net profit of $50 year. How can
you make the same capital and labor
pay moreY
Finely pulverized clay makes better

the hen manure to prevent its getting
into clods and to absorb ammonia as the
manure is decomposed
A capon bears the same rotation to a
cockerel as the steer does to bull. 1t
is more quiet, lays on flesh and fat, and
remains tender for many months after
the change.
Capons will weigh from 20 to 30 per
cent more than cocks Of the same age,
and will be delicate and tender when a
year and half old.
One advantage in coaxing your hens
to lay in winter is in their becoming
broody early in the spring, and in only
that way do we get the early pullets for
the laying season the next fall.
Often, in your neighborhood you can
see plenty of refuse cabbages, many
which are small or of second growth, of
all shapes and sizes. These you can get
for nothing. Store these and they will
make a grand change of winter green
material for your fowls.
If you use cocks of your own raising
for breeding purposes, make careful
selection and separate them from the
flock until they are to be used. II you
buy them, do so while you can have
your pick, and soon enough to get them
acquainted with their new premises.
Always cross with a pure male. and
your results will be doubly satisfactory.
II you use cross breeds at all. never use
a male Of that kind.

Florence Rebuilt.

Travellers in Europe will soon miss one
of its greatest charms in the loss of the
old medieval part of the city OF Florence
which is being rapidly torn down and
rebuilt in modern style. From hygi
enic point of view Florentines are to be
congratulated on this change, for this
part of the city had become very eye.
sore,-a fostering den of disease with
its narrow, crooked streets, high, sun
less, airless houses, most of them in a
tottering condition-damp and rotten

GREETED; for these old streets and build

hosts of others have lived within these

Among the doomed old buildings by
far the most regrettable to Florentines
and the civilized world IN general is the
old Palazzo Amieri, built in the 18th
century, which has been regarded not
only as a wonderful work of art, but is
also noted as the scene of the legend of

which for centuries all Florentines have

Bismark's Musical Performance.

Prince Bismarck, one of the greatest
OF men. grinding hand-organ. This
sounds little absurd, and yet he did
grind an organ, and in the royal palace at
Berlin.
1t seems one day considerable noise
issued from an apartment used by the
young princes. Bismarck, who was
passing by. put his head within the door
and found the young princes dancing
and shouting to the tunes of barrel
organ played by the Crown Prince. The
moment they saw him they invited him
to have some fun too. Bismarck de-
clined, but agreed to play the organ if
the Crown Prince would dance with the
rest. The Crown Prince readily gave
up the organ and joined the dancers.
Right merrily went the fun, and right
lively Bismarck ground away. when into
the midst of the shouting, laughing,
dancing group stalked the Kaiser. A
smile crept over his face when he saw
that great statesman, Bismarck, man
of iron, grinding away on barrel-organ.
and after greeting his sons, he turned to
him in mock displeasure, and Remarked:
you are beginning in good time to
make the heir apparent dance to your
music. 1t seems that this is about the
fourth generation that has done so."-

STOCK.

Any kind of grease or oil rubbed over
an animal, especially about the head and
neck, will keep it from the attack of
both the common fly and the dreaded
horn fly. The addition of carbolic acid
will make it soothing to the bites, too.
AT the same price pound. half bran
and half corn is the cheapest diet, the
best, and much the safest. Corn only
is not we'll balanced ration for growing
animals, fitted to make good bone and
music. Sell half the corn and buy
bran.
There is no quicker way to lose money
than by feeding unthrifty stock. Do
not be so foolish as to put up any ami
NAL for winter which does not show good
promise OF returning good profit for
every pound of food consumed. Old
animals, or such as have been stunted
will not do this.
Selection must be the leading factor
in the improvement of all our farm
stock. and fortunately it is method
which can be employed without great
expense. Let us never SO far lose inter
est as to pay no attention in this regard.
The silo not only increases the value
of the corn crop for feeding. but makes
less the labor of handling it. Let the
crops be so grown as to produce the
best possible supply of both grain and
slower, and then be cut and housed all
in one operation.

Talking is Good Exercise.

1t is seldom that the average person
can CLEAN as much solid satisfaction
from medical article as one does from
DR.. Harry Campbell's paper in the Lam
Get upon 1.-THE Therapeutical Aspects of
Talking, Shouting. Singing, Laughing,
Crying, Signing. and Yawning." 1t is.
indeed, a complete vindication on the
score of health of all the expressions of
emotion which we have been hitherto
taught to suppress. The tyrannical pro-
verb that children should be seen and
not heard is utterly discredited by DR..
Campbell. On the contrary, the child
who cries by night and shouts by day
must not be hindered from so expand
ing his lungs and accelerating his cir
culation, lest such evils as a contracted
chest and even consumption ensue. The
yawner, too, is not being Intentionally
rude. but is exercising muscles which
have been for long time inactive. The
lover, signing like furnace. is doing
himself good by aerating his blood. But
talking is the healthiest occupation of
all. for it is good for heart disease,
serves as valuable substitute for bod
lily exercise, and promotes longevity.
There is, however, darker side to the
picture, for the talk which brings
health to the hypochondriac may prove
deadly to the listener.

The Making of Canoes and Intaglios.

Gem sculpture. or lithoglyptics, is an
art of great antiquity. having been prac-
ticed by the Babylonians, the Egyp-
tians, the Hebrews and the Greeks.
Afterward it sank into decadence, but
in the fifteenth century was revived in
Italy. 1t is an art that calls for great
elegance of taste and much skill, for on
small stone, generally precious, de-
signs are represented either in raised
work. as canoes. or by being cut below
the surface, as intaglios.
To canoes the term minute sculp-
ture' is indeed applicable. for since the
days of Greek art celebrated statues
have been copied in this way. The first
intaglioe were the scarabs, or beetle.
shaped signets. worn in rings by the
Egyptians from very remote period.
One side Of the stone was shaped like a
beetle. the other side was fat. and the
name of the king or wearer was cut into
it. A hole was then drilled in the stone
from end to end. and through it strong
wire was passed to hold it in position
in ring. The fiat or seal side was al
ways worn next to the finger, but when
used as a seal it was turned.
10 the art of gem sculpture the
Greeks excelled all predecessors. The
Etruscans. contemporary with the
Greeks. also attained excellence in gem
cutting, and it is said that "on these
early gems Of Etrusean or Greek origin

their religion and the subjects of popu-
