DETROIT, July pa special to the
Journal from Saginaw, Mich, says: The
steamer City of Baltimore, on her re-

brought the 30 passengers to the city.

OFFENSIVE BREATH.
Persons Afflicted with 1t Should Use
Some simple Disinfectant
with Regularity,

There are many causes for bad
breath; in some cases it is occasioned
by the teeth, in others by disor-
again it is the result of diseased and
decaying lungs.
AS persons afflicted with bad breath
are themselves frequently unaware Of
the fact, it is the duty of those with
whom they come in contact to call at
tention to the matter in as kindly a
manner as possible. Where the dis
order comes from the teeth, the serv-
fees of a good dentist are necessary,
also some simple preparation for the
mouth. The following recipe is harm
less and good: One ounce of pow
dered boraX, one ounce of precipitat-
ed chalk, one-fourth ounce of pow
dered myrrh and one-fourth ounce of
powdered orriS root. Charcoal is an
excellent remedy for feverish breath
and the Canadian snake root is also
very highly recommended; it imparts
a spicy aroma to the breath and
leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth.
Needless to say the greatest cleanli-
ness in regard to the teeth and mouth
is indispensable. Many persons who
are most particular about brushing
their teeth after meals never think
of doing so before breakfast, and at
no time is it more important as vari-
Gus impurities gather in the mouth
at night. After cleaning the teeth in
the morning, wash the mouth with
weak boraX water.
Where the offensive breath is
caused by some incurable disease the
person thus afflicted is deserving OF
sympathy and consideration. Even
then some simple disinfectant should
be used.-Eliza r. Parker, in National
StOckman.

"Yes, know that sort of life brings
hurts, smarts and heartaches, to say

all the same it is an education that can
not be gained in solitude. Life brings
many changes and throws strange peo-
pie together, and il is easy to decide
that some of ones kindred by birth or
by pecially the latter-are so
uncongenial as to make living with
them uncomfortable.
Sometimes that is true, but very
rarely. Usually if two persons are
well-meaning-and most people really
do mean well at heart-they can grad
ually grow into each others ways, and
by doing so modify individual traits
and habits to the great improvement
of character. We need to have our

vanities punctured, and most of all to

HANDY SELF FEEDER.
An Absolute Necessity Where Lambs
Are to lie Pushed with Rich,
Nutritious Feed.

No frst-class breeder expects to
produce the high quality of breeding
sheep now being required without
pushing his lambs with rich, nutritive
feed for all they are worth from the
time they are old enough to take more
than the ewes milk until they are
well developed, says C. p. Reynolds, in
Breeders Gazette. Most of the breed
ers use some form of the creep" into
which the lambs are able to go and
secure their fill of grain, which is al
ways kept there for them. With the
proper grain, there is no danger of
overfeeding when once the lambs have
become accustomed to it, so no breed
er has any fear of injuring his lambs
by using the self-feeder.
The general idea of this arrange
ment is clearly shown in the illustra-
ton. About all that it consists of is
box and a barrel. The box is about
three feet square, more or less, and
eight or ten inches high. Both ends
are knocked out of barrel, when it is

DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, dean of the
University of Chicago, in addressing
the seniors at division meeting said:
"We have no orators to-day-that is,
no orators of the first-class The rea-
son for the decline in oratory is the
vast increase in reading. There are
too many gabblers without sound
knowledge. We need more thorough
knowledge and clear thinking, and
oratory will then take care of itself.
The newspaper and periodical press
at the same Uime make much oratory
needless and multiply the power of
what is left.'

a Valuable Curafe.

There is much excitement in the
village of Slushton, because the most
important cricket fixture which the
village club had arranged was down
for decision on the following Satur-
day, and the bowler who had won
every match for them that season had
sprained his wrist, and consequently
would not be able to play.
All their fond hopes of victory had
gone, when, as last resort, they
asked the new curate of the village to
play for them. He consented, and ow-
ing to his score of "a and his capture
of eight wickets for "a runs they
scored brilliant victory.
The next morning as the squire,
himself an enthusiastic cricketer, was
leaving the church, where the curate
had just preached his first sermon,
he was asked by the vicar what he
thought of the new curate.
"Oh," responded the squire, ''his
voice is weak, his doctrines shaky, he
isn't as learned as he should be, but
his cricket is a fair eye-opener. We
must keep him, even if we have to pay
him double the salary.

then set on the box, save for being
slightly raised. The support between
the box and barrel consists of two
pieces of two by two-inch stuff fas-
tened crosswise in the shape of an
X. At points where the barrel end
touches the y grooves are cut into the
pieces into which the barrel head fits,
thus allowing it to come within about
one inch of the box. 1t can be readily
seen that, as the sheep or lambs stand
about the box and eat the grain as it
appears in the inch space below the
barrel end, the weight within will force
more grain down, until the contents
are exhausted. AS long as there is
any grain in the barrel there is Just
so much in sight, and in such shape
that it cannot be easily wasted.
1t will be observed that there is a
slight rise at the edge of the box, which
has tendency to prevent any grain
spilling over the edge in case an an
imal should work out more than can
be cared for, and if the wind is in
clined to blow it about, neither of
which is very profitable. No cover is
shown in the cut. In case the feeder
is to be used outdoors, a cover would
be quite necessary. Such could easily
be made with a few boards, so that
water would be readily turned off and
the grain on the interior fully pro-
tected. The expense of such a feeder
is slight, comparatively, both intime
and money, and yet the size is sufficient
so that from dozen to Is lambs can
feed around the same box at once.

Utilizing Cow Peas,

A poultryman reports that an acre
of cow peas was left uncut near his
poultry yard, and during the winter
his hens attended to the harves ting Of
the peas. He was surprised to receive
almost double the usual amount of
eggs during that season, and asked
if the peas had anything to do with
it. Cow peas are rich in protein,
therefore should assist in forming
eggs. The exercise in securing the
peas is another factor which recon-
mends this practice to the poultryman
in search of winter eggs. 1t would be
a good plan to give cow peas trial.
