Curing q Doctor.

An eminent physician Of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients after
he had turned their disorders out
Of doors, attended lady of some
celebrity in the world of wit for
three months after her recovery
and regularly stayed @h her until !,
in the English manner, he received
his dismissing fee of 5 guineas;;
Weary of his expensive calls and
concluding that to lessen the Zee
would be to lose the visitor, she
yentured to give him 4 guineas a.
the conclusion of his next call. he
looked anxiously in his hand, ther
on the carpet and stood for some
time in evident embarrassment.

BRINGING the Time Of Day.

A certain squire had just set up
with great pains and elaborate
mathematical calculations a sun
dial in his garden and was naturally
a little proud of it. One day, as 1t
30 happened, being close to the gar /.
den. he was in doubt as TO the right
time and told a boy who vas with
him 10 run down and get him the
time from the dial. After a fe~
minutes the boy appeared, dragging
with him something heavy.

set All was to get her up" lie haS

and dragged it up the hll.--Londo'

DEVICES or THE BODY.
The Cough. sneeze and Sigh Are
Measures Of Self Protection.

One OF the most interesting iactN
about the human body Is Its power
Of self prcscrvation-its power Oh
evading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, un-
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive. :,
Among the most common OF
these acts of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the sigh.
/ Every one is'familiar with these
acts. vet few people ever ask them.
selves the cause, and fewer stlii
/ could explain them.
One Of the simplest of the body's
devices, for self protection Is the
cough. The cough is merely blast
of air propelled from the lungs IN
such manner as to forcibly DIS
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into the throat, the
windpipe or the tubes leading 20
the lungs.
The membranes lining these
parts of the body are very sensitive
and when a foreign matter comes III
contact with them an alarm mes
sage Is at once sent TO the nervous
; eheadquarters,' and the result !;
J the sudden. spasmodic expulsion OF
; breath which is called a cough,
a Very of:en the cough is produced
, BY the irritation of the accumula
I ton of mucus on the surface men
: toned. In this case, as in the cas-
Of foreign body, the cough
e merely means OF expelling tn
matter.
e So, you see, cough is merely on
i Of natures methods of self protec
S ton. Couch cures contain som
:, drug which, by paralyzing tn
I nerves, prevents the cough and a

. Thus the cough medicine doe
IT only harm. The cure for a coug

of A sneeze is exactly like cougl
'e save that the obstruction occurs

IN and that the blast Of air is thrc"
ld out through the nose instead
IT through the throat and mouth.
rs Why do we sigh: When griev'
n. or depressed the tendency is to no q,

ne body suffers for oxygen, and !, I

While we admit that eggs for hatch
Ing should be as fresh q possibie. We
believe people are unnecessarily
afraid Of setting eggs that have been
kept week or two, asserts Wallace's
Farmer. There are times when It II
desirable to set the eggs Of one hen
only. This would mean that the first
egg would be about two weeks old
before the last one was laid. The old
hen who steals her nest and, a. the
poultry writer's 80 often tell ~. brings
on chick for every egg. undoubtedly
is two weeks in laying her litter Of
eggs. We would rather wait two
weeks to set hen than to set her on
one.day-old eggs under wrong condi
tons. We have Matched sturdy chicks
that have lived from eggs that were
three weeks old. Usually such egg
