WOMAN BATTLES IN THAMES
Takes Plunge Into Icy Water Every
Morning to Cure Nervousness
Says 1t Has Helped Her.

London.-Baths daily in the icy water
Of the Thames is the remedy which a
woman is trying with effect for nervous
ness. She spends the winter in a house
boat at Staines and takes her bath re.
gardless of weather.
Every morning, whether In snow
sleet or rain, whether the river runs like
a millrace or is as placid as a pond. Mrs.
Humphrey dives overheard for her daily
swim.
AT first she was accounted foolish, and
Wlseacres croaked the speedy discontin-
uance Of such a chilly practice; but still
1t goes on, and, to use her own words,
she is now more fit" than she has ever
been before.

One Of my maids tumbled into the
water the other afternoon, and if | had
not been able to swim / am afraid she
would have been drowned. We have
three double bedrooms, three single bed
rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen with a real
kitchen fireplace, and a double saloon in
which there is a crate that burns coal.
The only difference to a fiat is that the
old boat is not at all draughty, and We
are as snug as snug can be. We rise with
the water, and as long as there is not an
other flood we shall be all right"

THE JUG BRooDER.
A Good Use to Which Farmers
wives Can Put the Empty
jugs To.

There are said to be jugs in Ken
lucky Snd Tennessee-jugs large anu
jugs small, and jugs of different
shapes and colors; and doubtless, there
are some empty jugs, or there will be,
and it IS of this class OF jugs that we
would say a few words.
The first move would he to take the
jug entirely out of the jug trade" and
put it 10 work in the poultry yard.
There's the early sitters-not many of
them perhaps, and we would like to
hatch more early chickens than We
have hen power to incubate the eggs.
and are, as yet, too poor to buy an in
cubator, And so, we will utilize the
jug bro0der,
In doing this the first necessity is a
box abGIt a foot and a half wide, and
twice as long. In the rear end, up
about four inches from the bottom we
should rail some cross-strips, the same
to extend forward about a foot. Then
we should inclose the space from the
strips to the top of the box, and over
the strips tack a piece of sacking or
loose cheese cloth. Then the jug-a
jug-sh0uld be filled with hot water
and set in on the cross-strips and
packed about with any sort of old
goods, sacking, etc, so as to throw
the warmth downward from the jug.
This to be ready for the first Matched
chickens. which should he taken from
the hen before she leaves the nest, and
the latter reset with fresh eggs imme-
diately, rs it will not hurt her to sit
six weeas early in the season. The
chickens should be placed in the box,
under the jug part, and a top put over
the whole. For the first few days the
chicks RAY be fed inside the box
biooder, but, as they get older, a little
runway should be provided, and a
snail door made in the front end of
the box. Renewing the water twice a
day-motning and evening-will keep
the chickens quite as warm as IL they |
had their natural mother with them.
The watnr may be heated on the kitch-
en- stove while the morning and even
ing meas are being cooked; and, as
there is no danger of fire in such a
brooded, 1t may be placed any old place
at night
This Pan is q mighty good one for
the ladies to get even with the men
who will ~patronize the jug trade; and
it's a goid one too, even if one has to
buy a bfand new jug for the purpose.

Thus, with iudicious care, loss from
indigestion and other kindred troubles,
which often amount 10 a large per
cent, is wonderfully lessened, if not
practically avoided.
The amount of grain should be linz
tied at the beginning TO obtain the
best results in fattening western
sheep, and a light grain should be
used, hut during the finishing stages
a heavier and richer grain will give
good results.
The well-fed sheep always produce
the most and best wool, for the mod
ern mutton sheep is also a wool o
Queer. This stands TO reason. A good
fleece is thick. or compact, from the
eyes to the toes, and such a fleece not
only affords a fine yield of wool, but
assures protection to the animal
against storm and exposure. II the
breed is good, and the sheep well fed
and cared for, the wool will be thick
and fine. Every care should be used
to keep the sheep warm, for the yolk
which lnsures a good fleece is always
more abundant under a high temper
ature.' Still the barn or Stabling quar-
ters never must be without fresh. pure
atmosphere, but well protected from
drafts. Cleanliness is essential.-Cor.

Is FREE WITH HIS WEALTH.
Gifts of an English Lord to Charity
Amount to Over a Million
Dollars.

London.-Lord Mount Stephen, the
peer who began life as a herd boy and
whose bounties to charity from his 70.
mantically won wealth have been in
Vulnerable, has given over 81, 600 600 to
the kings hospital fund. and the king
promptly acknowledged the gift as a
magnificent donation.
The announcement is a happy sequel
to the recent visit of the prince and
princess of Wales to his l~ordship's Hat
field residence. A complete list of
Mount Stephens ~benefactions could not
be complied, not merely because they
have been SO numerous but because
many are known only by those who have
benefited by them. A previous hand
some donation was the endowment from
Mount Stephen and Lord StrathcoIa,
producing $4,000 a year, and likely TO
increase In value.
This was not the only occasion on
which Mount Stephen and Strathcona
combined in the cause Of charity. To-
gether they built a hospital for Montreal
in 1886 at the cost Of 81 200, 900, and gave
SS00,0O0 for its maintenance. Mount
Stephen distributed So. 800, 600 among
his relatives some time ago, %preferring,
he said. to see them enjoying life now
instead of waiting until after his death.

WHERE GOLD GOES.
HOW ANNUAL SUPPLY OF WORLD
is DISTRIBUTED.
Over $50, 900, 900 Used Annually in
Industry in the United States
High Record of 1908 Probably
Exceeded Last Year.

New York.-No phase Of the financial
situation has attracted more attention
IN the forecasts OF the present year than
the increased gold output OF the world,
Eight years ago this product footed III
trifle over s200, 600, 600; in 1899 it rose to
1896, 700, 600: sank to 1854, 500, 900 in 1900
during the Transvaal blockade; estab-
lished a new high record in 1903. with
its $32S, 500, 600; has certainly exceeded
this in 1904, with the SIC, 000, 600 in
crease in South Africa. and will prob
ably expand still further in the present
year.
Leaving aside the general question Of
the influence Of these new supplies or
markets, a highly interesting question
arises: Where does the new gold go?
Even allowing for the very substantial
portion used in industry upward o
$4,000 600 is thus annually consumed
in the United States alone), who gets the
rest? In particular, which nations are
the benefciaries?
This country gets 4 reasonable share:
during the II months past the treasury's
figures show that the American stock of
gold in and out Of the treasury has in
creased by $53, 600 geo. nearly one-sixth
of the whole worlds output. The great
European banking institutions. too.
have had their share; nine of them have
added 5000, 600, 600 gold to their reserves
during the - months past, of which in
crease $55, 100000 went to the Bank of
France. $95, 900, 900 to the Imperia!
Bank of Russia, $22. 900 900 to the Bank
Of Germany, and only SO, 500. 900 to the
Bank of England. When allowance is
made for use by foreign refiners. and
for the large amounts of gold which, In
European communities. pass into hand
to hand circulation. the balance. unac-
counted for of perhaps $50, 900. 900 in the
annual output, is not excessive,
But the flow of this new gold from ma
ton to nation is more peculiar. Eng
land owns the Transvaal mines, whicn
have produced about SIS, 900, 900 gold
these II past months. yet the Bank of
England added only One-tWentieth of
this sum to its gold reserve. The past
years gold output in the United States
was not far from $50, 0O0. 900; yet scarce
ly one-third as much as was added to our
home circulation, despite a large addi-
tional gold import. On the other hand.
Russia, whose own yearly gold product
is barely $23, 000. goo. has been able to
add four times that sum TO the i'm
perial banks reserve. while France.
which produces nc gold at all, stands
second to Russia in the amount of gold
added to its gold reserve

NOTED BY NATURALISTS.

Birds, however wary, are curious, and
will approach a strange object at the
risk of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters
know.
Brazilian ants make little gardens In
the tree tops and sow them with pine
apple and other seeds. The gardens are
found OF all sizes. some containing a
single sprout and others a densely grown
ball as large as a mans head.
There are several species Of fish, rep
tiles and insects which never sleep in
the whole Of their existence. Among
fish 1t is positively known that pike,
salmon and goldfish never sleep at all,
also that there are several others in
the fish family that never sleep more
than a few minutes a month. There are
dozens OF species Of flies which never in
dulge in slumber.
In the proceedings OF the Philadelphia
academy Miss A. M. Fielde records three
instances of curious traits displayed by
ants kept under observation In the
laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass. In
the first case the actions recorded
suggest something akin to hypnOt-
ism, while from the third there seems a
possibility that these insects may be
able to remember and recognize indi-
viduals Of their own kind after a sep
aFation Of several years.

Don't you know that shcaf oats
makes a fine winter feed for horses?
The best hay produced on the farm
is none too good for your faithful
horse.
A horse dictionary should be issued
so that We could all get more horse
sense, We all need more.
Horses should have exercise daily.
Standing tied up with the halter day
after day often causes trouble.
The horse needs water every day
in the year, and more than once each
day, in winter as we'll as summer.
Horses need proper food in order to
keep in good condition, and the ideal
grain for horses is good oats.
Sec that the cracks in the barn are
closed, and don't let the horse shake
to get warm. Be more humane.
Don't put a frosty bit in the horses
mouth on a zero morning. The skin
on the tongue is there for a purpose.
Watch the little things in horse
raising, or the horse will be lacking
in a greater thing. Keep your eyes
open.

THE CARE OF SHEEP.
sheep by Chance, They
Require Care.

No animals are more dependent on
intelligent care than are sheep. First
class sheep never come by chance;
they are the result of skilled and in
teIligent care, and they give ample re-
turn for that care in both wool and
mutton.
A competent shepherd has a trained
eye. and can detect at n glance if a
single animal is off feed or in any
way on. of condition. Then he knows
