Dr. Thomas Dunn Of the Fordham
Hospital, that good results can be OBJ

Said one physician in discussing it:
The theory is by far too radical an
innovation for me. l agree that a con-
slant circulation Of fresh air in the
treatment of the disease is eficacious;
but when the temperature tails belo"
20 or % degrees, the patient chances
of recovery are lessened rather than
bettered.

husband used her very roughly. He
asserted he did not and that ne always

Mrs. Smith was widow before she
WAS married TO her present spouse.
She took to him a ready-made family
of three children. That was the pr
mary cause Of the trouble. Smith did
not want them in the house, and their
mother insisted they should stay. He
made complaints about them and she
turned a deaf ear

Husband.
THOUGHT 1T GOOD JOKE

NEWARK, Feb. 16.-Failing TO curb
her husbands groundless Jealousy, Mrs.
Margaret Smith gave il free rein, with
the result that as soon as il got rope
enough it hanged itself She weaTied OF
telling the man he had no reason to
doubt her devotion and concluded the
only way to impress the fact on him
was 10 play practical joke.
SO, with the knowledge OF others in
the family, she slipped a straw dummy
into his bed, then. with her conteOr- ates
hid behind curtains and doors 10 see
the fun.
The fun arrived on schedule time and
n a few minutes 800 Broad street, the
Smith home, was more like a boiler
factory than a dwelling. Mrs. Smith
smiled with reminiscent relish as she
related the story to Judge Kuhn in the
Second precinct police court this morn

seen the point.
An Artistic Dummy.
It was an artistic dummy. Mrs. Smith
was hours making II. She fashioned it
life-size and stuffed il with nice. clean
straw. Not only that, but she clothed IL
in cast-off apparel of Smiths garments
she was sure her husband had forgotten
he ever owned. Then she rolled the lay
figure neatly in blankets and disposed
OF the rest of the bedcIothing. so her
lord should not be likely 10 notice the
bulk before getting into bed.
Her plan went through. Smith was
so weary that he made bee line from
his dressing gown like convicted Sen
ator putting off his tosa and slid with
a sigh between the sheets-only to fnd,
as he supposed, a stranger smuggling
into his favorite side OF the bed.
With a shout of rage the irate husband
leaped 10 the floor. At that instant his
wife and the rest of the family, who had
lost nothing of what had occurred, broke
out into that style OF laughter popular
~ known as the merry ha ha.' En-
ragged at their TidiCuie even more than
at the outrageous affront to his rights
Smith Sprang to a corner of the room
and seized a club which he had kept il
waiting for burglars
Without stopping to reflect that his
wife was not in the bed and that per
haps she had cOnniVed in some hoax

Dust For the Poultry House.

The dust box ought to stand in the
sunshine out of all drafts. Urder the
front window Is a good place. Road
dust is excellent. We have found dry
slfted coal ashes good. A large shallow
box is best. Do not fill II too full SO the
hens will kick the dust over the floor.
In some cases small quantity OF lime
is added to the dust, but we do not like
1t, as II takes the gloss from the feath-
ers. Do not let the dust remain too
long. 1t must not become damp or
caked. In freezing weather the dust
box should be emptied frequently so as
to keep the dust dry.-The Business

were conducted at the Utah experiment
station by Professor James Dryden.
The contrast between individual
Brown Leghorns in those tests is great.
The Brown Leghorn in the cut has the
worlds record so far as known. She
laid POI eggs the first year, 241 the Sec
ond, 1875 the third and over 100 the
fourth. On the other hand, Brown
Leghorn kept in the same pen and, of
course, fed and cared for In the same
way laid only 200 eggs in the four
years, or less than one-third as many
rs the other. 1t Is n singular thing
that the record breaking hen was class
ed as poor layer by people who pride
themselves on their ability to pick out
a hen by her shape, while the drone
was selected as a good type OF layer.
1t will be seen that the hen does not
carry all her character on the outside.
Mr.. Crosgrove OF Connecticut from a
number Of pictures Of the hens tested
at the Utah station selected the hens
with a strong. protruding breast and
sharp curve under it as the better lay
