SHAKING PALSY.
Is Seldom Cured Hat May he
Abatcd.

Shaking palsy. or paralysis agituns,
as it is called by physicians. is a nerv-
GUS affection in which there Is a weak
ness. almost amounting TO actual
paralysis at times. combined with con-
slant and uncomfortable jerking of the
muscles, says Youths Companion.
The affection is classed among the
diseases Of old age, but is not very rare
in younger persons, and may occur
even in children. As a rule it begins
gradually. the first thing noticed hing
an unsteadinsss of the hands, or per-
haps trembling movement Of only one
finger, generally the thumb. With this
there may be moderate pain, which is
supposed to be rheumatic.
The trembling movement is often in.
termittent, at first coming and going
without apparent cause; but later il
becomes permanent and extends 10
other parts, finally involving both arms
and legs. Less frequently the neck mus
cles participate in the movements, the
head then nodding, turning or moving
from side to side. The muscles Of the
face and the tongue may also be i'm
plicated.
In conjunction with the trembling
the muscles are weak. and may be al.
most incapable OF voluntary move
ments, and the patient feels tired and
longs for the constant shaking to cease,
The trembling does cease during sleep
and it is also less marked when one
executes volutary movements.
The onset Of the affedkion, although
commonly gradual, as We have said, is
in some cases very sudden, following
some great mental or physical shock.
In later stages OF the disease the
muscles of the body become more OF
less stiffened, the back is bent, the
head is inclined forward, and the vari
GUS segments of the arms and legs are
slightly fexed one on the other.
The rigidity Of the muscles OF the
face gives fixed expression of sadness
Of indifference, or it may be Of bad
temper. There Is q peculiar gait. some
thing like that Of drunken man, who
has to walk very fast, or even run, tG
overcome his tendency to fall forward
Shaking palsy Is seldom cured. bu
Il does not always get worse. and ma
continue for years without appsren
change one way or the other. Thu
general condition Of the patient is usu
ally below par. and the chief In dication
Of treatment Is, therefore, to improve
the nutrition by tonics and generou,
diet. Some relief to the constant and
fatiguing tremor may be obtained b.
the patents making slow voluntary
movement. or by massasp. l-t,.L

THE BALANCED RATION.
Those Whs Consider Its Existeac,
. Pigment Of the Imagination
Are Very Much Mistaken.

To be a successful dairyman . mar
must know a good deal about the ef
feet on the animal system of the ra
tion he feeds. A one-sided ration i.
sure to work injury to the animal
at some time of it's career. Unbal
anced rations are frequently the
cause of dyspepsia in animals as wei
as man. An opinion seems to prevail
that an animal has a stomach and di
gestive system SO much superior tc
that Of man that any kind of food
can be consumed without bad effects
All Investigations show that this 1.
not the ease. A well-balanced ration
Is doubtless the most healthful ra.
tion. The rations are over-balanced

is most abundant IN each neighbo
hood. In the corn belt the feeding

mated by the strengthening of the
beef-producing powers. In sections
of the country where timothy Is ex'
tensively grown the animals are fed
on this SO exclusively that indiges.
tion often results. In regions where
clover is the cheapest food the
amount fed Is SO large as to result
in frequent losses from bloat. A
combination Of foods to make a bal.
anced ration is the thing to be de.
sired, and this cannot be done un.
less the cow owner puts some
thought and investigation into the
subject.-Farmers' Review.

Improved EscaIIoped Oyate~.

The addition of chopped celery and
a white sauce makes Of escalloped
oysters a rich and substantial dish.
The sauce is made with a cupful OF
milk, heaping teaspoonful of but.
ter, one cupful of oyster liquor and
one tablespoonful of flour. Brown a
small cupful Of bread crumbs in a
very little butter, or, il preferred,
rolled cracker crumbs may be used
without browning. Put q layer of
oysters in the bottom of the baking
dish, season lightly with salt and
scatter over little of the chopped
celery before adding some of the
white sauce. Repeat this order till a
quart Of oysters and all of the sauce
and celery have been used. Cover tho
top with n thick layer Of bread
crumbs and bake for not more than Is
minutes.-Detroit Free. Press.

GOOD H1vE9FoR BEES.
Eork That sh"ta he Done rs soes
- the Busy little lnsects Be-
gin Tseir Work.

Hives become mfit for good manipu-
lation, and il ,ot cleaned up every
spring and pu In good order we lose
great part q their usefulness. Bees
carry in largequantities of propolis or
bee glue, an,piaster it over the inside
of the hive. and over the frames in
such quantities that it almost dtsqdal-
ifies the fnme hive for the use it is
intended. ICES also build burr combs
around tn, edges Of the frames, and
about in he inside of the hive; this
also blocls good handling. While hives
are mad, to prevent the building of
burr combs as much as possible no
hives entirely prevent it.
During the honey season bees fire.
uuentl, build out some of their combs
in whrh they store honey so wide
that tney can scarcely be placed back
in tn. hives without bruising the
comts and killing bees. These combs
should be trimmed down to the proper
thickness by shaving off the surface
with sharp knife. The frames should
be cleaned Of propolis and burr combs.
thus putting the frame in the best
shape for good handling during the
honey season.
We can clean up the hives nicely by
beginning with clean one and setting
the frames with contents, bees and all.
into it from another; then this one
may be prepared for the next colony,
and so on until the entire number of
hives are put in good shape and with
but one empty hive to start with.
This is the important work to be
done in spring and should be done just
after the weather gets warm and the
bees are beginning work. Transfer
ring bees from old hives into new ones,
and all the work of cutting out and
strengthening up the combs in the
frames should be done at this time.
Some who are not we'll posted become
discouraged with combs that have
turned black and think them worth
less, but by no means is this the case,
for after brood is reared in combs
they all turn black, but are not i'm
paired from usefulness.-A.H II. Duff, in
National Rural.

ELECTION EPISODES.
Amusing Incidents Of the Recent PO-
htical Contests in Eng

At place called Beccles, during the
recent elections, says Youths Com
panion, a voter was observed going
to the polls in a donkey-cart. The
donkey was profusely decorated with
the radical colors, while the voter
wore tory rosette. Challenged as 70

"Oh, I'm going to vote for F,

Kingston-on- Thames was contested
by Mr.. Skewes-Cox in the conserva-
tive interest. His opponent was
Mr.. Burt. The radical agent placard-
Cd the town with
"EXSkewes-Cox and vote for Burt"
Nevertheless, in spite of this artful
invitation the tory nominee was re-
turned with very respectable ma
jority.
The member returned for South Ok

of Mr.. Hodges residence in the di-
vision naturally gave him an advan-
tage, and this was thought to be dis
counted by the radicals in the follow
ing way. Thousands Of placards were
distributed, bearing the words:
"Mr Samuels If elected will live
here"
Unhappily the bill-posters employed
by Mr.. Samucls' agent were destitute
OF n sense Of humor. or else they were
secretly OF conservative proclivities,
for great many OF the announce
ments found their way TO the walls
OF pigsties and ramshackle buildings.

BITS FROM BUZZDOM.

Swarming hives should be kept in
a cool place. A swarm may be in
duced to enter q hot hive, but If it
be too hot they are liable to de-
sert IL.
Use young larvae for the rearing;
of queen bees. Bees. always select
the younger larvae, and apiarists
may well follow the bees in this mat
ter, says Mrs. Ella Henson.
Sometimes, when bees have started
combs, and some eggs are laid, an
extremely hot day will cause them
to desert the hive. This can be
avoided by having the hive in u
shaded place, or by erecting four
pole simple shade over it.
Bees seldom desert q hive after
they have made large beginning on
combs and eggs, or when a frame
Of brood is supplied to them.
Close students Of bees insist that
bees never gather honey and pollen
ON the same trip.
Honey-gatherers carry twice as
heavy loads as are gathered by the
pollen-gatherers, The reason for
this is that the honey is heavier than
the pollen, bulk for bulk. and that
the honey is taken into tho bees
sack. while tho pollen Is carried on
the ends Of the legs.-Rural World.
Tho size Of the hives must be set

A regular army soldier at Fort
Schuyler was lately blown to pieces by
the explosion of o stick Of dynamite
which he tried to break in two. A
schoolboy in New York was about to
be spanked by the janitor, who had

the job, when q stick Of dynamite

The humorous and unusual expert
ences in the life of n metropolitan
clergyman are told by Rev. David n.
Steele, of New York city, in the Ladies'
Home journal. Mr.. Steele declares
that the prospective bride is always
nervous until the time for the mar
riage ceremony, when she is calm and
collected. The groom is exactly the re-
verse; always cool until he comes to
face the clergyman, when his nerves
invariably give way.
