"To take c2re Of the sick poor and of those who can pay but little for the service of a nurse, to teach FOOT people the importance Of cleanliness and how to care fer their sick, how to make their homes habitable by good ycn.iiation, how to allow the health-giyiEg rays of the sun to enter in through washed window Fanes, thus bringing ligAt a..d sunshine 10 suffering souls cast down by sorrow and disease" This is tl3e aim of one of the most benevolent cLGTi- [ ., the Visiting Nurse Association of Chicago, and this is what is accom- Flished b. its dozen nurses under the direction of tAe beard of % of Cbicago's most influential and intelligent women, of which Mrs. James L.

 The Canadian government has es- tablished refrigerators for the stor- age of fresh bait in cooperation with associations of fishermen along the coast.

 A house fell in Venice recently, causing the death of two people. This has naturally raised the question of the stability of buildings of this curi- ous city.

A FAMOUS BIG WHEEL
Probable End of the Great Midway
 Feature.
Tke Invention of Ferris Has Absat Served Its Purpose and Will
 Soon Find Hts Way to the Scrap Heap.

When the Ferris wheel is sent to the scrap hesp-a thing likely soon 10 hap pen-the greatest engineering vugury of the century will have passed into that oblivion reserved for fads. tiyinu machines and experimentation con trivances. Not that the great Ferris wheel isNany cf these, says the Chicago Post, but simply because it never could serve any practical use, because it cm- bodies no distinctly new principle in engineering and because il has 6 mar. velous faculty of emptying the coiTerS of those who try Co make it's huge bulk earn even small part of the cost ci maintaining tito say nothing of the cost of original investment.
 As one of the wonders of the world $ fair of IS93-perhaps the chief wonder -the Ferris wheel stood unique. lis great size, marvellous construction and distinct novelty made ii not only the crowning feature of the midway, but the gossip of four continents. During the continuance of the exposition more than million and q half of visitors from all quarters of the globe rode in ' its suspended cars and from height O. 26i feet caught a hird's-eye glimpse of the fair grounds, the lake and the dis tant city.
 Though less than third the neigh, of the Eiffel tower of the Paris exposi- ton. the Ferris wheel was a much greater wonder. The Eiffel tower waS merely continuous projection of sue cessive towers enc upon another. Given suitable base. its construction simply meant the stringing Of iron and steel straight into the air. But in the Fer ris wheel something new in couStrue- tion was acccmplished-new because of its great size. IL was the projection Of a gigantic circle, carrying thousands of tons of steel and iron suspended from an axle and readily movable by the application of machiEery. To have hnilt tue Ferris wheel simply to stand upon its periphery would Lave been comparatively simple task. To sus. pend this mass of metal from a central point and give it motion was the con- cepiion e genius.
 About S25,Coo was spent in plans. tests, etc, before the actual cocx:ruc- tion Of the wheel began. Some 20 firm, took part in its making and a CAicugo firm saw 10 its erection. When read, 10 be turned the Ferris wheel lad cost S362.coo and had construed aAoa, s.ooooOO pounds of iron and steel.

And so nicely adjusted were all the parts, so we'll balanced was the great steel circle with its 36 cars, capable of carrying 2,l60 persons. that 1t was under as full control as a sew ing machine or pony engine. Once or twice during the worlds fair the mo- tive power needed adjustment, but the only results so fa. as the public w3s concerned were humorous incidents which gave inc newspaper men a few eoluIaus of anything but dull reading C3tfcr.

On the range the hens get little at a
time, but they are ever moving from
place to place and are busy as pos
sible. 1t is a different matter when
they are fed by the owner. He throws
down the food and they fill their crops
1T once. Having done so they are salts
fed and "wax and grow fat" There is
Il lesson to learn from the natural mode
of feeding by the hens. Give them this
food in small quantities. When fhs
crop is overloaded too much food is
passed into the gizzard to be triturated,
and the digestive organs are overtaxed;
but when the food Is eaten gradually
