Berlin Public kitchens.

These popular establishments are
described by George S. Layard in the
Nineteenth Century. Apublic kitchen
for the working classes was lnaug-
urated in 1866 by a German woman,
Han Morgenstein. She has estab
lished many of these kitchens, each
one having a public dining room, com
fortably warmed and furnished, and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from three
hundred to four hundred people with
daily meals, is managed by a local
committee, the whole scheme being
under the control OF a central council.
All the paid cooks are on the premises
by six in the morning, and the vege-
tables and meat have been brought in
before them. Waste of any kind is
strictly forbidden. A subscription of
three thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars was sufficient to start this
scheme; the reserve fund set aside for
providing new kitchens increases
every year, while the council pays fair
wages and is able to pension off its old
servants. For a sum varying from
three to six cents the Berlin workman
can obtain a satisfactory meal at any
of these restaurants. A dinner for
four cents allows a basin of thick, sub
stantial German soup, a plate of veg
etables and a plate of pudding, and
a roll of bread in addition costs a lit
tie over one-quarter of a cent.

saved by Its Song.

A little thistle bird in Monmouth,
Me-, owes its life to its perseverance
and habit of singing while ia trouble.
A man in that village had heard the
small songsters persistent notes near
his window for nearly month, and at
last called the attention of friend,
who makes a study Of, birds and their
ways, to its song. This friend soon
made the discovery that the bird was a
prisoner to its nest. A ladder was
brought, and the bird and nest were
taken down and examined. One leg of
the little sufferer had become ensnarled
in the wool with which the nest was
lined, and it was only after twenty
minutes Of painstaking effort with
sharp instruments that the limb was
losed from the snarl. This done, the
spectators were surprised to see birdie
fly away, apparently as well as though
never tied to a nearby apple tree. The
birds parents. or some other of Its
feathered friends, had kept it supplied
with food during it's Imprisonment.

For some years past we have been
urging farmers when they repair their
fences each spring to ground the wires
every twenty rods or such a matter,
and thus avoid the danger Of having
the lightning, when fence Is struck,
making the round Of the field and kill
ing any stock that may be near 1t. The
subject was brought up at the late
meeting of the mutual insurance COM
panies and discussed somewhat fully,
says Wallace's Farmer, and the almost
universal experience was, that when
wires had been grounded as above sug-
gested, there had been little or no dam
age to stock. This is a matter Of great
Importance, as will readily be seen by
any man who examines his assessment
and discovers that large per cent. OF
the losses are those Of cattle by light
ming and In open fields. We do not
claim that grounding the fence wires
will avoid the danger altogether. What
we claim is that the fence where the
wires are grounded are much safer
than the cattle in the open field, for the
reason that properly grounded fence
acts as lightning rod to the parts OF
the field adjacent to the fence.

Rabbits and Trees.

The simplest and cheapest protection
is coating bark with some substance
offensive to these animals. Among
them is a thick wash made of COW
manure with water, with enough wa
ter slaked lime to render the mixture
of a dull, white appearance, or rather
of greenish-gray. Rabbits do not like
this kind OF condiment with their food.
A stronger mixture Is made by mix
ing gas tar, but for young trees with
tender bark, it should be cautiously or
sparingly used, or it may injure them.
The mixture is applied with any old
broom or coarse brush. A moderate
portion of asafoetida in the mixture is
said to give it additional efficiency as
a rabbit repeller.

at the appearance of large posters on
all the dead'walls containing an appeal
to educated Chinese to abandon the tor
ture Of their young daughters by foot
binding.
1t contained many quotations from
Confucius, but it's main point was d.
rected to the edict Of Emperor Shun
Chih in 1862, pronouncing the binding
of girls feet to be illegal. Chon declar-
ed that this edict had been obeyed for
a time and then ignored.
He describes the tortures which
young Chinese girls Of the better class
are forced to endure, and the misery
and tears that are their portion for
months and years. Even the worst con-
victs, be says, are never called upon to
endure what foolish custom imposes
upon the tender. frame of young girls,
who are beloved by their fathers.
The deformity is produced in the feet
of young Chinese girls by narrow cot
ten bandages about three yards long.
These are applied when the girl is 9
years Old One end of the strip Is
placed beneath the instep and then car
ried over the four small toes, drawing
them down beneath the foot.
Another twist draws the heel and
great toe nearer together, making an
indentation beneath the sole. When all
the cloth has been used the end is firm
ly sewed down and the feet are left for
a week or two in that condition. Clean
bandages are now and then put on, but
the change has to be rapidly effected or
blood begins to circulate in the be-
numbed feet and the agony becomes
unbearable.

Women's craving for small foot has
rum mad In China, and they willingly
submit themselves to fortunes as hor-
rible as any to which prisoners In the
jails are subjected rather than be ex-
posed to ridicule because their feet are
large.
Now the custom Is assailed from a
powerful source-from a group Of pro-
gressive scholars, which the Chinese
people hold In the greatest reverence.
The anti-foot binding agitation, which
Is now spreading all over China, was
recently started by prominent men,
Der of the Chinese litterati in Suifu,
which is great city Of Szechuan.
The leader OF the movement Is Chon,

poultry are made more particularly at
night, although some mites may be
found on the fowls ut almost any time.
TO get rid Of them spray the inside of
the chicken house with Kerosene or

to remove all mites from the cracks or

What many an American farmer
fails to do on 100 acres, the thrifty Hol-
lander in Belgium easily does on two
acres; namely, support large family
and lay by something for a rainy day.
He does 1t by making the most of every
Inch, by heavy manuring, allowing no
waste places. His two acres Is sur
-ounded by a ditch of running water.
The typical two-acre Belgium farm will
contain patch of wheat or rye and an
other Of harley; another fair portion
grows potatoes. A row of cabbage
grows all around on the sloping sides of
the bitches with n row of onions Just in
side, leaving bare walking room be-
tween them and the grain.
The shade trees round the house are
pear trees. Every foot OF land Is made
20 produce. He keeps pigs and chick
ems. We refer to this as illustrating the
