The Value of warmth,

Both adults and chicks love warmth,
The hens will select the sunny spots,
especially if protected against the
winds on damp or cold days, while
even on the warmest days of July the
chicks will nestle under the hen. Should
a heavy shower suddenly come up, and
the chicks appear dead, place them near
a stove, or in an oven of moderate heat,
and notice how quickly the apparently
dead chicks will come to life again.
Heat is the great life-giving element.
Should disease of any kind appear al
ways provide dry and warm place.
There is no remedy for roup that equals
warmth, not that warmth viii cure il,
but warmth invigorates the fowl and
enables 1t to withstand the ORDEAL

SECRFT OF HAPPINESS.
1t Consists I'm the Acceptance of the
Talent and the Tasks God
Has Appointed.

"Happiness comes through quiet ac-
ceptance of the talent, temperament
and task that God hath appointed. I'm
able to add one cubit to the stature, or
make one hair white or black, man is
also impotent to alter his birth-gifts," :"
writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, on
The Secrets of Happy Life" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Through
heredity our fathers chose the life work
for us, and try as we may we cannot
alter their choice, though we can break
our hearts. To-day one part of society
is making itself miserable through an
overestimate of great deeds and an ag-
oniZing desire to do striking things.
Yet struggling and agoniZing never did
anything worth while. The first sign
of a great piece of work is the ease and
swiftness with which it was done by
him appointed for the task. Another
part of society destroys happiness by
Understanding small deeds and du-
ties. Gods mountains are not made out
of huge chunks of granite, but out of
minute flakes of mica. Size has nothing
to do with the valued work, and man
cannot be happy until he surrenders his
will and cheerfully accepts the one tai
ent, or two, or ten, counting it honor
enough to do his appointed work more
perfectly than any other can possibly
do it. We do not need great and splen-
did things, but that common things
shall be lifted up and Illuminated by a
quiet and beautiful spirit. One of the
secrets of happiness is found in the ha-
bitual emphasis of pleasant things and
the persistent casting aside of all ma
lign clements"

Make Your Own Perfume.

You can easily make a delicious vio-
let perfume for yourself by putting half
au ounce of orris root, broken into
small pieces, in a sottle with two
ounces of alcohol. Add to this a bunch
of newly-picked violets, cork and bottle
been standing four or five days, a few
drops on the handkerchief will leave
the scent of fresh violets. Apropos of
perfume is the laundering of fine linen

MOTHERS CHICKEN PIE.

Our folks have jest cleaned up a chicken
pie,
An nommynated me to tell the tale.
Well, first We ketched hen that he'd her
eye
On settin'-when her egg desires got
stale
OF course, we didn't do a thing to her,
But chop her head off-she was butter fat.
But sorter aged, if you judge her spur,
But chicken pie, sez |, will settle that.
They cut her up from wing way down to
heart,
The women folks-they soaked her over
night,
And then they billed her till she fell apart.
An soat the flavor would come out jest
right
They billed ar onion an G lemon, too,
Right with that chicken-then the chill
dren gnawed
The bones to start our appytite anew.
Ma lined the dish with pie crust, then she
drawed
A cup OF cream, an beat an egg up white,
With two big spoons of hour-they laid
the meat
Inside the dish-it made a hungry sight
Then mixed egg, cream and -four and soup
complete
An poured it in-then put crust on top,
An baked it till the smell jest seemed to
fill
The kitchen-but I guess I'll have to stop;
My mouths a-waterin so my tongue
stands still.

A BREAST OF VEAL.
Thi. Article Tells Exactly How 1t
Should lie Prepared and How
to Stun and Roast 1t.

In the spring, when lamb and veal
are in season, they are not only the
cheapest but the most wholesome of
flesh food. Heavy beef and mutton,
which are in prime condition for food
in cold weather, when they can be hung
until they are tender, begin to pail
upon the appetite in spring. a lighter
and more easily digested meat is de-
manded. Veal comes first into season
to meet this demand, and young lamb
little later. The acid vegetables, fruits
and sauces for meats which are so ap-
petizing at this season are demanded
when these easily digested young
meats are served. Thus the convention
al diet of the spring months, and the
one which is the easiest to procure, may
be readily proved to be the most whole
some for the season.
The breast of veal is the cheapest por-
ton of the animal. The large proper
ton of the bones are in a semihardened
state, when they can be softened by
cooking. The hard bones of the breast

lays to go to scratching and give up all
idea of sitting, without being cruel to
her, either. Get grocery box, or some
thing similar, and convert it into the
affair shown in cut. 1t has no bottom,
out one end has a sloping top to throw
odf rain and also to protect the hen from
the sun. The remainder of the top is
covered with Stats. The two holes at
the side give the hen, or hens, access to
dishes of water and food, which, by the
way, should be light and small in guam
tity, to reduce "biddy's" condition.
Oats are about the best substitute for
bread when refractory hens thus
have to be placed on dungeon diet. -

REMEDY FOR GAPES.
Applied Without Danger to the
Youngest Birds.

There are several remedies for
gapes, but the difficulty is that some
times the chicks must be handled. The
difficulty occurs mostly on farms upon
which fowls have been kept for years.
1t is caused by collection of small,
threadlike worms in the windpipe of
the chicken. 10 kill these worms and
not injure the chicken is laborious.
Take a glass tube with a small rubber
bulb (Which apOthecaries sell for
"medicinc-dropper') half fill it with
camphorated oil, and inserting the tip
in the windppe, discharge the oil. A
small oil can used for sewing machines
may serve in place of the medicine
drOpper. Operate as follows: Place the
chicken back down between your knees
and hold it gently; open the bill and
draw the tongue. Seize the lower man
dible and tongue thus drawn out be-
tween the fOrefinger and thumbnail of
the left hand. This will bring into view
the opening into the windpipe at the
base of the tongue, into which gently
insert the tube and discharge the oil,
using about one drop. Close the bill
and hold the head still for few sec
onds. Then let the chicken go, and it
will cough, scattering some of the oil
out, but enough remains to destroy the
worms, and they will be coughed up
and swallowed. The gapes continue for
some time after the treatment, but the
remedy will be effectual in every case
if properly applied, and it may be read.

as often as necessary. After little
practice it is very easily applied and al
ways succeeds. A breadcrumb upon
which is one or two drops of a mixture
of cafnphorated oil and oil of turpcn-
tine forced down the throat is some
times etfectual, but it does not always
reach the windpipe. Pulling out the
worms with the strip of feather is
painful to the chick.-Farm and Fire

Pretty window HangIngs,

White muslin curtains for windows
will be much used this year in summer
houses. The frilled border is out of
fashion and an embroidered open-work
edge is in vogue. That this launders
more easily than the frilIed edge may
be one secret of its popularity. These
curtains with the fiat open-work bor-
der and an embroidered design scat
tered over the surface may be bought
for very small sum. The new dotted
swiss curtains with a scalIoped edge
are extremely dainty and pretty for
summer draperies. The dot is large
enough to be conspicuous.

A MOURNING LAMP.
An Eccentric Bit of Furnishing De-
signed for New York So
cicty WOmnn's Room.

In a search for fashion novelties your
correspondent has come across a most
unique bit of furniture. 1t is in the
shape of a mourning lamp. In the New
York home of well-known society
matron whose sister died abroad a few
years ago there is room furnished in
remembrance of the deceased relative.
Everything in the room is black, save
the carpet, which was made to order,
and has violet background with black
flowers standing out upon it in somber
relief. The furniture is of richly carved
ebony. The curtains of black satin
brocade, and all the ornaments are
black.

Evidence of Indigestion.

Coldness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of Indigestion.
The eoldness is due notCo the weakness
of the heart or feebleness of circulation,
as is generally supposed, but to the
contraction of the small arteries, pre-
venting blood from entering the parts.
There is generally an irritation of the
abdominal sympathetic nerve centers
which control the circulation of the
lower eXtremities. This difficulty is not
to be removed by exercise or by any spe-
cial application to the limbs, but by re-
moval of the causes of irritation. This
may be prolapsed stomach or chronic
indigestion. Hot and cold footbaths
are valuable. These act not simply
on the feet and limbs, but by reflex
action affect benefcially the abdominal
sympathetic centers, which are in a
diseased condition.

should be removed. Flatten out a
breast that has been freed from hard
bones, leaving those that are soft and
flexible. 1t should weigh about 2h
pounds when prepared. Dredge about
q tablespoonful of salt and an even tea
spoonful of pepper. Stuff it with a we'll
seasoned veal stutfing. Roll it up and
tie it into shape. Lay it in any fiat-bot-
toned shallow saucepan, with a cover
that has no solder about it.
The saucepan must be large enough
to hold a gallon, and should be at least
nine inches across the top, in order to
be broad enough. Rub the roll of veal
with butter, dredge it with flour, slice
an onion over it and a carrot. Put a
pint of rich brown gravy or stock over
it, cover it and set it in a hot oven to
braise. Baste it every Is minutes. As
the stock boils down add boiling water
TO thin it, and continue the cooking in
this way until the meat has been braised
for at least two hours, or until it is a
very rich brown in color and perfectly
done.
The stufIing for this breast of veal is
made as follows: Brown over the fire
two onions minced fine. Soak a loaf of
bread freed from its crust in cold wa
ter for IS minutes. Press out the wa
ter with the hands from the soaked
bread. Add two or three whole eggs,
a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful
of pepper, a tablespoonful of sage
leaves, three skinned sausages and
teaspoonful of parsley. Add the mince
of fried onions, and after thoroughly
mixing the forcemeat rub it through
a puree sieve. Spread this stuffing in
the center of the breast of veal before
1t is rolled up. Tie it closely at the
ends, so as to resemble the roll in the
