"NIama" and "Papa."

German chauvinism penetrates
everywhere nowadays. Some earn
est Teutons have started the idea
that German children must drop the
words Mama" and Papa" in favor
of "Mutter" (mother) and Water"
(father.) "How," say they can
anybody prefer the unmeaning Ma
ma to the deep and impressive
'Mutter?' Nothing can replace for a
German the word 'Mutter,' certainly
not the French Mama" A certain
philologist, however, asks how it can
be suggested that the word Mama"
is derived from the French, seeing
that it is probably to be found in all
languages of the world. In the nu-
merous dialects of Africa and in In
dia the word for mother is Mama"
which is given as title of honor to
every elderly dame deserving of es-
TEEN and respect. Mama" and
Papa" (Baba) are so generally
used in all parts of the world that
they probably date back some thou
sands of years.

Shelter for Animals.

When stacking straw either in the
8eld or barnyard, a good shed suitable
for cattle, sheep or hogs, or even rough
farm tools and implements, may be
made with little work. Before thresh-
ing, secure six posts, eight feet in
length and forked at one end if posi-
Bile. At the place the stack is to be
built, set the posts two feet deep in
the ground in rows of three posts on
each side; the rows eight or ten feet
apart, and posts nine feet apart in row.
Take two poles each 20 feet long and
place one on each row of posts for
crosspieces to hold the top. Lay aspen
poles six or eight inches apart on top
of the crosspieces and set ordinary
poles slanting around the frame, leav-
ing one end open. The poles should
be close enough together to keep the
straw from falling in or being pulled
out. Build the stocks on top of this
frame and comfortable shelter will pc
provided.

Care of Furniture,

Furniture can be unhealthful in
many ways. If too dark it is de-
pressing to the vitality; if too large
it takes up valuable air space. Cen
orally, it is a great refuge for dust.
Now, we get very large proportion
of our diseases through dust, and it
is therefore essential to do every
thing that we can to prevent it's ac-
emulation.
The tops of bookcases and ward
robes are usually bordered by cor
nices, and become what might be
called lakes of dry mud. Here the
deadly microbe breeds and mutiplies,
finally entering our bodies.
These danger places should be
covered with strong paper, pasted to
the edges of the cornice, and then it
would be easy to remove the dust on
each room cleaning day. Great care
should be taken to sweep the dust
from under valanced beds and heavy
pieces of furniture.
Heavy, thick curtains should be
often taken down and we'll shaken in
the open air. And if possible they
should have no place in the sleeping
rooms. All corners, especially dark
ones, should be cleaned with damp
cloth. busting ought always to be
effected with soft, damp cloth,
which should be washed frequently.
1t is better to burn dust, for if
thrown in tha oSh nit If is lia h1o to he
blown again into the house.

FEEDING Sheep for Market.

The farmers who think they would
like to feed sheep for market should be
sure to convince themselves that it is a
business by itself and that regularity
and uniform attention must be the con-
slant rule. We would place first and
above everything. proper qualification
to carry on the business. The fitness
must consist of untiring energy, per-
severence and a reasonable amount of
discretion and financial genius, with a
natural inclination to pay careful at
tention to detail-a concentration of
ideas on one subject. With man
fitted for the business must go proper
surroundings. A dry, sunny spot should
be chosen for the corrals. If possible
get gentle south slope for the ground,
so that natural drainage will be Sc
cured. Running water is desirable if
we'll arranged. 1t should be so encom-
passed that it will run through a
trough with force sufficient to keep it
from freezing If this cannot be done
1t should be shut off at night.

A Partisan Confidence Game.

A pork butcher of the Latin quar-
ter in Paris was asked for credit by
piteous little Italian boy with a vio-
lin. The lad told how his mother
and sister were supperless in their
garnet. Not sou had the poor lit
tie musician made that day. If he
left his violin as pledge would not
the pork butcher let him have a
string of sausages? The compass
sionate tradesman agreed at oncea and
the boy handing over his instrument,
went off with plentiful supper. The
next day a well dressed man, hap
pening to look in at the shop, saw
the violin, examined it and started
back in surprise. Did the pork but
cher know what a treasure he had?
1t was a Stradivarius, worth any
amount.
Having heard the story of the
italian boy, the well dressed gentle
man proposed that the tradesman
should buy the instrument. If he
got it for $50 it would be dirt cheap
and the well dressed person himself
could sell it for him afterward for
ten times that amount. The boy
came to pay for his sausages and to
claim the violin. Sell it" he ex-
claimed when asked by the pork
butcher 'Never, for it is the only
treasure left me from my grand
father, to whose grandfather it had
belonged before that"
At last, however, having gone
home to consult his mother, he
agreed. Embracing his beloved vio-
lin, with tears in his eyes, he parted
with it for $50. The supposed anna
tour never turned up. The pork but
cher took the violin to a dealer, who
pronounced it to be worth Is cents.

Experiments Showed Good but Expen
sve Gains.
Farmers generally regard pumpkins
highly as fall pig feed. They are sue
culent, palatable and nutritious, and
properly fed, give profitable returns
Experiments at three stations where
the utility of cooking pumpkins was
studied show that the practice added
little to the efficiency of the ration.
The gains from feeding were good in
all cases and economically produced.
Pigs fed on raw pumpkins and grain
showed gains at a cost of 262 pounds
of grain and 376 pounds Of pumpkins
per 100 pounds of gain where the pump
kins were fed raw, and 222 pounds or
grain and 1,150 pounds of pumpkins Tor
each 100 pounds of gain when they
were cooked.
Another test at the same station with
a ration of cider or windfall apples and
pumpkins, equal parts, cooked, showed
good but expensive gains, the high cost
being attributed to the apples.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.

WayS of SiberiaRS.

Some interesting phases of Siber-
ian life are described in Samuel Tur-
ner's book on that country. Of the
eXiles he writes: when l told a
Siberian friend that | carried a re-
volver as a protection against wolves,
/ was promptly informed that | had
much more reason to fear the human
wolves / might encounter, and this
found, was a general view of the
case. About one-third of the crimi-
nal eXiles escape all control. Armed
with a stick, to which is attached
strong piece of cord or catgut, they
will approach the unwary traveller
from behind, throw the cord around
his neck, and quietly strangle him
by twisting the stick, to roo him at
their leisure of whatever he may
possess, or secure his passport in or
der to make their escape from the
country"
Great is the butter making of ST.
IBERIA, and greater, says Mr.. Turner,
is to become--a region that might
supply half mankind with butter:
"There are, however, peasants who,
for one reason or another, refuse to
sell their milk or turn it into but
ter. The owner of a farm, not far
from the station of Tagai was asked
by Danish friend why he did not
sell the milk from his 800 cows to
the neighboring dairy. He replied
that his grandfather and his father
had not sold milk before him, and
that he saw no reason why he should
do so; he was sure the Lord would
not like it..
Here is a familiar picture which
the author saw from the Siberian
railway as he travelled on it, day af-
ter day, across the sea of steppes:
1--WE often passed sledges going in
the same direction as our train, and
sometimes, when the horses took
fright at the engine, they maintained
the same speed as the train for con-
siderable distances, frequently ter
minating the race by overturning
the sledges and scattering their oc-
cupants.'

Feed the Sheep Salt,

1t is very desirable that sheep should
be kept so tame as to be easily caught
and handled, and the weekly sailing is
a powerful aid in making the sheep
docile. The salt may be dropped, in
small handfuls, on the sod, or put into
small boxes kept in the field. If the
salt is dropped on obstinate weeds, or
tuft of coarse grass, the sheep will
eradicate them, and better heritage will
take the place. With little time spent
each week in letting the sheep eat from
the hand, or the dish, the whole flock
can be kept very tame, and the time
will be amply repaid whenever it is
necessary to move the sheep to other
pasturs, or to catch any for other pur-
poses.

USE OF VERIFORM APPENDIX.
Acts Like an Air Bulb i'm Clearing
Intestinal Passage.

Among the latest to advance ex-
mysterious veriform appendix Is
| Philip Schuch, Jr, the chemist, who
declares his belief that the appen-
dix is a bulb attached to the intes-
tine for use as receptacle for air
and with the same operation as that
of the bulb of a syringe.
Mr.. Schuch has been chemist for
seventeen years. Within the past
two years he has taken up the study
of appendicitis, and many expert
ments have resulted in the develop
ment of the theory which he has just
announced.
THE appendix is small bulb"
said Mr.. Schuch, "and the opening
into the intestine is large enough to
admit a good sized needle. | have
proved conclusively to myself that
air congregates in this bulb, and that
1t acts in the same manner as the
bulb on a syringe or the chamber Of
a force pump, in giving material as
sistance to the expulsion of the con-
tents of the intestine.
THE causes of appendicitis are as
follows: The eating of much indi-
gestible food, such as insoluble grit
ty stuffs and substances, which are
converted into glucose through the
action of gastric juices and acids in
the system; the lack of sufficient
gastric juice to properly digest the
food in the stomach, and eating in
haste, without sufficient time for the
proper mixing of the saliva with the
food.
appendicitis occurs much more
frequently among those who live ex-
pensively and partake Of many lux
uries. All this food is easily and
quickly converted into glucose, or
gummy substance that lines the in
terror Of the intestine with a thin but
coating. This closes
the opening to the appendix.
Nov, in the event that a strong
dose of physic is taken and this lin
ing is quickly dissolved, the aper-
ture of the appendix is opened. The
air in the intestine, carrying with it
a certain quantity of matter, will en-
ter the appendix suddenly, distend
ing it, and subjecting its walls to
strain. The matter
from the intestine will thus remain |
in the appendix. The particles, con-
tanning a large number of noXious |
germs, will cling to the sides and ir- |
ritation will eventually begin. This |
will develop into inflammation and |
finally liberation. A person will then |
have trouble with his appendix, and |
an operation will sooner or later
have to be performed to remove the
liberated organ.
"a person can live without his ap-
pendiX, just as one can live without
eyes. So long as the man without the
appendix is careful of his diet and
his condition he will not suffer.
&"Statistics show that a large per
cent. of those operated upon eventu-
ally go insane and die as a result of
the operation. | have studied this
question several years and | am con-
vinced that the removal of the ap-
pendiX before it is made absolutely
necessary by decay is unwise and

from which they are pumped up and
distributed over the manure heap. 1t is
usual to provide two manure plats, so
arranged that when one is full (when
the manure is to 10 feet high it may
be allowed to ferment undisturbed
while the other is used. The manure
is carried from the stables to the top Of
the manure heap in wheelbarrows over
an inclined plane of boards. Care is
also taken to smooth down the sides of
the heap, to prevent the too free access
of air and the loss Of teachings, as de-
scribed in the illustration.

MANAGEMENT of Manure.

The need of keeping manure moist is
especially marked in case of horse ma
nure, which is naturally dry and de-
composes with great rapidity. The
same is true in a less degree Of sheep
manure. The common and harmful
''fire-fanging" is the result Of an in
sufficient supply of water and may be
readily checked by sprinkling.
A method employed in the prepare

tin, is as follows The manure is

EDISON'S OBVIOUS INVENTIONS.
Why He Would Like the Aid of Some
Judges.

Thomas A. Edison recently made a
suggestion by which a common fail
ing of judges may be turned to ac-
count. The patent law demands that
dences of imagination than are re-
quired in the ordinary makeshift i'm
provements that are made every day
in machine shops; and yet the SIM
pleSt devices are the most effective
and the most profitable. The Fed
eral courts have several times inval-
idated Mr.. Edison's patents on the
ground that the improvements made
by his devices were obvious solu-
tons of the mechanical problems,
and, therefore, not patentable. AS
in many problems that require hard
enough-afterward.
Not long ago Mr.. Edison was try
ing to work out a new piece of mech
anism. 1t seemed a simple enough
problem when he began it, but it
proved to be extremely difficult. At

Postal conditions in the interior

stage of evolution. When a postman
arrives in a village on muleback he
distributes the letters in a public
