For hospital Use.

Some young girls not long ago de.
vised a pleasant and useful way Of
using their old magazines. They lived
In a family where there were many
weekly and monthly magazines, too
many to attempt to save the greater
part Of them, which were always sent
to hospitals and homes after they
we're read. These girls took the maya
zines apart and made them up into
little pamphlets, one story or article
In each pamphlet. They fastened them
together, sometimes with the metal
fasteners that come to hold papers to-
gether, sometimes with bright-colored
cord or ribbon. The leaves may also
be sewed or pasted together into little
books. They proved most acceptable.
Oftentimes convalescents are too
weak or i'll to hold a book or a whole
magazine. when they would greatly
enjoy reading if there were no labor
attached. These little leaflets are so
light that the weakest person could
hold them, and they are also in homeo-
pathic doses, as it were, so that there
is no temptation to the invalids to go
on reading, several stories at time,
and so overdo their strength.

Turkey hens begin laying early in
the spring. and as they usually make
their nests on the ground, it is not ad
of eggs, unless one can get them to sit
In some sheltered place.
IL the hen sits in a cold, damp nest
the eggs will not hatch well. This
is often the cause of weak, sickly
poults.
While turkey hens make the best
mothers, it is good plan to hatch the
first clutch of eggs with chicken hens;
then by the time the turkey hens have
finished the second laying the weather
Is somewhat warmer and they may be
allowed TO sit.
See that the hens have good nests
and are kept free of lice. If the hens
are allowed to sit in old nest-boXes
they will soon become regular louise
incubators. Then when the little tur.
keys come out your trouble will begin
in earnest.
1t doesn't take many lice to kill a
young turkey. A young turkey cannot
endure these life-sapping creatures as
long as chick can.
If the feed is all right, and still they
do not seem to thrive, the chances are
that they have vermin of some sort.
Spread the wings out and examine
well on both the inside and outside
The latter is favorite hiding place,
and il sometimes happens that no lice
can be found anywhere else. However
it is not uncommon to find the large
lice wherever there are pin-feathers
Head lice attack little turkeys almost
as soon as they are Matched.

Feared Their Women.

CASTOR Boissier of the French
academy has been making a study of
the suffrage movement, and tells, in
Cicero and His Friends" how much
afraid the Romans were that women,
who had such great influence in the
home, would begin to exert as much
influence in the state. Cato was espe-
cially bitter against women. and Livy
makes him say: Remember all these
regulations our ancestors made to sub
ject wives to their husbands. Shackled
as they are, you have trouble to man.
age them. What will happen il you
give them their liberty, if you allow
them to enjoy the same rights as
yourselves? Do you think you will
then be their masters? The day they
become your equals they will become
your superiors."

It had a worse effect upon the tur-

Up to this time we had lost Is tur-

Great care must be exercised lest a
little too much is applied. Just a little
is enough, and it must be put on where
it will reach the lice.
Take little on the end of the fin

found. Olive oil may be used instead
of lard. Lice cannot live long in
either, and both are harmless to the
little fowls unless too much is used.
The grease should not touch the
bare spot under the wings if it can be
avoided, and the head should not be
creased unless one is certain that
either lice or nits are present.
