WINTER SPORT.
to-day a gladstone sight.

I saw to-day a gladstone sight.
I stood upon hill
Whose gentle slope extends far down
Beyond the silent mill:
And snow and Ice had made the place
A glorious one to coast
And half hundred girls and boys
Were out-a merry host.
Some sleds were shod with shining steel
And 6ecked with red and blue
And some were made by unskilled hands,
Yet sped right swiftly, TOO.
And rude toboggans, loaded well
With happy children. made
Their daring trips. the noisy crews
Laughing and unafrald.
] saw six merry little girls
In one unbroken train
Go coast!ng down without a sled!
l looked. and looked again;
And as they climbed the hill, | saw
Each carried In her hard
Just this-a kitchen dust-pax'
Broad, strong and well-japanned
Each mounted. end around her feet
Tucked carefully hey gown,
Then on this cutter. queer but fleet,
Triumphantly rode Gown.
Safely they rode. with joyous shouts,
They seemed to like il well;
Though how they steered the funny craft
I'm sure ] cannot tell.

fine webs cunningly wrought with
strange and curious scenes from for
eign lands, which furnished material
for much worthy conversation. The
other guests furnished rich entertain
ment of songs and stories, while all
were provided with jests and repartee
that flashed back and forth so rapidly
Mrs. Way-down-blue was fairly daz-
zled with their brilliance.
Strange to relate, Mrs. Way-down-
blues own ideas now came focking
back to her, and she opened her
mouth once to speak, but perceiving
that her ideas in ragged, il-ftting
jackets would be received with sur.
prise by the company, the poor lady
remained miserably silent.

neighbour" and Mrs. Cheery-up-heart
turned TO her Hospitality.
~ was thinking" returned Mrs.
Way-down-blue, humbly; 81 would
like to know where you keep all this
company of ideas"
''We keep them in idea gardens, or
you might call them memory gardens.
In these gardens we shelter our ideas
carefully, train them to obedience
ish our friends, for they are indeed
friends, these good ideas who bring
us both riches and happiness"
but, where do you find them
these ideas so beautiful and so
good?" asked Mrs. Way-down-hlue.
I'VE find them around us, if we
only know how to look. But these
ideas have odd ways of hiding in un-
expected places. They maybe cum
ningly wrapped up in floWerJ bud or
a drop of water. They have been
found in "A bit of coal or even curling
in merry wreaths out of the spout of
a tea kettle. Some men have taken
great pains to throw nets over the
stars to catch ideas, and one learned
philosopher found an extraordinary
idea in falling apple"
lis there nothing more you can tell
me about these ideas?" asked Mrs.
Way-down-blue, with growing inter-
est.
There is one more secret, as ter
rible as it is beautiful. Ideas never
come alone; they bring their ASSOC
ciates with them. Cherish one evil,
lawless idea, and seven more wicked
than itself will surely come with it,.
These will call in more and more I'M

ION the contrary, cherish one good
idea and this idea will call in a whole
family of relatives, also good and
beautiful"
THAT is well worth knowing"
unused Mrs. Way-down-blue.
"Yes, good ideas have way of
calling in more and more, for ideas
are like children and always come
clasping each others hands. So one
idea calls in another until you find
yourself surrounded by a shining
host which, like angels, attend your

WATERPROOF WASH.
Walls That Have Been Covered with
1t Have Proved Quite Imper-
viOus to Water.

Use two washes for covering the sur
face, one of CASTLE soap and one of
alum and water. The proportions are
three-quarters of pound of soap to
one gallon of water, and half pound
of alum to four gallons of water. both
substances to be perfectly dissolved in
water before being used. The walls
should be perfectly clean and dry, and
the temperature of the air not above
5n1sgrees Fahrenheit when the compo-
sitions are applied. The first. or soap
wash, should be laid on when boiling
hot, with a fiat brush, taking care to
form a froth on the brick work. This
wash should remain "a hours, so as to
become dry, and hard before the Sec
ond, or alum wash is applied. which
should be done in the same manner as
the first. The temperature of this
wash. when applied, should be GO or 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and this also
should remain "a hours before a Sec
ond coat of the soap wash is put on.
These coats are to be applied alternate
ly until the walls are made impervious
to water. The alum and soap thus COM
bined form an insoluble compound, fill-
ing the pores of the masonry and en-
tirely preventing the water from en-
tering the. walls.
The foregoing method, recommend
ed by the Architect of London, has been
given trial near Philadelphia with
satisfactory results.

In connection with the second meth

HAVING NO TIME.
The Woman who Ii Always Too Busy
to Take Care Of Her Own
Health.

The woman who has mo time for re-
taxation and systematic exercise" IL
precisely the woman who most needs
to take it. Rest, exercise, diet, amuse-
ment and work are of equal impor-
tance in the vast scheme of living. If
one would Live sanely, that is, health
fully. The old saying: "All work and
no play makes Jack dull boy" is per-
fectly true, and that all play and no
work have the same effect is equally
correct, observes an eastern philos-
opher, says the Detroit Free Press
II get all the exercise I need in go
ing about my household" many wom-
en- assert, but that is the greatest mis-
take possible. Under ordinary, cir
.cumstances, few sets of muscles are
called into activity, and the mind, at
the same time, is fully occupied. For
physical exercise to be helpful, the
mind must be at rest. A walk of 20
minutes duration in the open air is an
absolute daily necessity, and should
be at reasonably brisk pace. Deep
breathing should be practiced on
these walks, until it becomes fixed
habit. A good plan is to inhale slowly
while taking seven steps, then exhale
during seven. The mental applica-
tion soon ceases to be necessary, and
the walker almost unconsciously
breathes in this way. Deep breath
ing is helpful in cases of insomnia
also. gEhr F-Hg pftit

NEST BOX FOR SITTING HENS.

and allow the broody hens to sit on
them for a day or two. The sitters
having proved reliable, the china eggs
were removed and replaced by the val
liable ones. In the morning the doors
Of the nest boxes, which had been
Aosed from the previous day, were
opened and the sitters allowed oppor-
t1nity to get out for food, water and
. short run. In early spring, whom
the weather is likely to be cold, the
sitter should return to her nest inside
of ten minutes. The foregoing details
are all important in the succe ssful
Matching of chickens by hens.
Late April and May hen-hatched
chickens did the better at the Cana
dian farms. In the case of hen-hatched
chickens the latter were permitted to
remain in their nest for "a to SO hours,
when, with the mother hen, they were
placed in a Slated coop on the grass
outside. The coop was so arranged that
It could be securely closed at night,
while ventilation was secured.
Through the Stats the chicks could
run on the grass outside, while the
hen remained inside. On the floor Of
the coop was sand to the depth Of two
inches. On taking the mother hen
from her nest she was given food and
water. She would be more likely to
brood the chicks contentedly after be-
ing fed than if hungry or thirsty. How
important it is to have early chicks
carefully brooded is well known to all
experienced breeders. The rations
adopted werestale bread crumbs, fol-
lowed by stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed dry; this for day or
two. Crushed corn was. not given un-
I'll after eight days, and whole wheat
was not fed until the twelfth or four
teenth day. As the chicks grew, q
mash composed of shorts, corn meal,
stale bread and small quantity Of
prepared meal was mixed with boiling
skim milk, allowed to cool, and was
given three or four times per day. Milk
and water were both furnished for
drink.

Modern Invention and scientific re.
search have done much to tighten the
burdens Of tie farmer. Inventive skill
has not only facilitated the opera.
tions Of husbandry by supplying la.
bor-saving machinery, but IL !, has
adapted many of the conveniences
and comforts of the city TO farm life.
But inventive genius has done very
Mttle for the farmers wife. Il has
relieved her of buttermaking through
the multiplication of the modern
creamery, but in doing so It has also
diverted the profits of this industry
to the farmers pocket, whereas this
proceeds of buttermaking formerly
were conceded by custom and prece-
dent to the farmers wife.
The farmer has the telephone and
free mail delivery, and he rides all
day long on a sulky plow or on a
reaper that cuts the grain and binds
it into sheaves. It is doubtless only
a question of time when machines
will husk his corn and dig his pota-
toes. But the drudgery of the weeks
washing and ironing is still with the
farmers wife. While the lord of the
fields rides in indolent comfort in q
sulky plow the wife bends over a
washtub or wreetles with the hot
irons two days out of every week.
A promise of belated relief for the
farmers wife is seen in the PROPOSE
tion of Representative Frost, of Wis
consin, to establish steam laundry
at every crossroads in the state, to
which the farmers washing and IRON
ing may be brought every week. AS.
the state is dotted all over with
creameries and cheese factories, it
would be an easy matter to operate
steam laundries in connection with
them. ..,,l-.ro
There is nothing impossible or vi
sionary about Mr.. Frost's plan. 1t
embodies the principle of cooperation
which has already been successfully
applied to nearly every form of ag-
ricultural activity, from the old grist
and sawmills to the modern, cream
cry. Divest the farmers household
of this form of drudgery and then in
troduce in the kitchen some of the
modern labor-saving devices that are
used in hotels and the life of the
farmers wife will begin to approach
that standard of ease and comfort
long since attained by the farmer
himself.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Some claim that it is quite natural
for hen to remain on the nest for q
long time while laying, some times for
several hours; that it is hard work and
they need a long rest after laying.
Close observation for two seasons pa st
convinces us that hen in proper con-
dition wants to leave the nest, get .
drink, and go to scratching very soon
after she lays. When our hens are
ready to leave the nest inside of half
an hour after entering. we are satis-
bed they are in good laying condition.
If they stay on for one, two or three
hours, we believe it is because they
are either too fat, constipated or go
ing broody. A good layer seldom
wants to stay on the nest longer than
. half hour. She hasn't time. She
must get ready for the next day, writes

The position of the farmer with re-

cially directed:
Farmers have given increased at
