TROUBLES OF A HAY MAKER.

I heard pretty good story few
days since about good old deacon
somewhere out in York State, which
was somewhat after this wise: He
was one of those upright, dignified
sort of men who make it rule to
perform their duty, and then make
the best of the matter, however the
event may turn out; but everything
on his farm was kept in the neatest
order.
1t had got to be quite late in the
season for moving, and still the dea-
con had a fine piece of grass which
he had been unable to cut, on &C.
count of a press Of other matters. So
one day he put on large force, and
by noon he had it all down and spread
about in nice order, when there came
up a shower and wet it. After the
shower the old gentleman came out
and walked about perfectly cool"
and the next day he had 1t spread
again to dry; about noon there came
up another shower. Well, out came
the deacon again, with the long face
and dignif1ed air becoming one in
his station, looked at the hay and
walked into the house.
The next day being pleasant, he
had the hay dried, loaded, and driven
to the barn, into which they had got
just as another shower began to fall.
The deacon was congratulating
himself that he had finally succeeded
in securing the hay, when a gust of
wind struck the barn, rushing
through and completely sweeping the
hay, scattering it to the four quarters,
and tearing the barn doors from their
hinges, one of which hitting the old
gentleman, Frustrated him in the
mud and fell on top of him. After
the door had been removed and his
breath partially recovered he sur
veyed the ruins for few moments,
and then very solemnly exclaimed:
well, 1 think 1t is now time for me
to express my sentiments! &c. B.

DRINKING VESSELS.

Scummy drinking vessels cause
sickness. They should be scalded out
every now and then. Filthy water
drank daily is very irritating to the
bowels. Water is the principal con-
stituent Of the flesh, bones, feathers,
and eggs Of fowls, and necessarily
large quantities of it are consumed
daily. Therefore it should be seen
that the water supply is not only pure
but fresh.
There is a poisonous fungus growth
In the blood in nearly all the fatal
diseases. Fowls never perspire so
that many of these evils may be
thrown off. On the contrary, they
must resort to respiration. The re-
suit is that the great majority Of
poultry diseases are found in the
head, throat and lungs, and, there
fore, it is in these parts that we must
look for the symptoms of disease

MAY SUTTON
Tells American Girls How To Be
Healthy and Graceful.

Z
Don't drink coffee.
Don't drink tea.
Don't exercise too much.
These three don'ts constitute the
advice of Miss May Sutton, champion
woman tennis player of the world, to
girls who would go in seriously and
Systematically for athletics.
Eat what you want.
Take long walks
Get all the fresh air you can.
These are the three rules Miss SUIT
ton lays down for girls who desire
merely to be strong and healthy.
The little champion recently ap-
peared on courts in San Francisco in
a series of exhibition matches. 1t
had been reported that she was not in
the best of health, but she gave no in
dication of having gone back" play
ing her strong game that made her
worlds champion, with her same old
dash and accuracy.
At the close of the series Miss SUIT
training she had found most effective
and what, in her opinion, is the best
form of exercise and diet for the av-
erage American girl. Inpart she said:
"While I advocate hearty
eating, I cannot say too much
against the use of tea or coffee.
They are nerve destroyers and
no one can be healthy who
persists in their use.
"Too much exercise is as bad as too
little. Walking is the best exercise
there is. Early each morning, after
drinking a glass of hot water, dressed
in loose clothing, l walk for nearly.
an hour.
athletics should receive some at
tention from every girl. If her time
precludes the playing of tennis or golf
she should take long walks in the
open air, both before the morning
and evening meal, throwing the head
and shoulders back and taking long,
deep draughts of that which money
cannot buy but is in reach of the poor
as we'll as the rich-pure air.
Pure air and a moderate amount
of exercise l cannot too strongly i'm
press upon girls as being the only Sc
cret of health and grace. Medicine
for that out-of-sorts feeling may cause
girls to imagine they feel all right,
but what they really need is more
fresh air and not quite so much sit
ting around the house in tight-ftting
clothes as great many of them do"
Miss Sutton is declared by physi-
clans to be a perfect athlete. Tennis
experts declared that every movement
is "a picture. "-Leningtom (Ky.) Leader.

MODERN MOTHERS.

A woman who attended the State
federation meeting of women's clubs
in Springfield, says, in the Globe
Democrat, that she was impressed
with the fact that in this moving age
there Is not time to spend in doing
things thoroughly. When she was a
girl she sat and sewed a sheet seam
on a holiday, and when it was not
done as we'll as her mother thought
she could do it she was made to rip it
out, tears flowing the while, and there
was no play hour until the whole
seam was sewed.
Things that are worth doing at all
are worth doing well, was the lesson
her mother sought to impress upon
her. So it was with the sweeping,
the corners being of more conse-
quence than all the rest of the floor.

as a church ceremonial, and to wash
them in less than three waters would
