Oark-Blue Ware.

Boston.-Among the various kinds

Is none in greater demand or more
difficult to find than that bearing the
famous Doctor Syntax designs.
The pictorial ware can readily COM
mand a fancy price, for it is not un-
common for $40 to be paid for some
OF the plates and from 5000 to $500
for some of the platters.
Mrs. Emma De Forest Morse of
worcester, Mass, is the fortunate
possessor of nearly all the subjects,
included in this series. 1t is not only
a most remarkable collection, but it
is by all means the largest and most
complete known. Each one is a per-

schoolmaster's tour, as it was called
on its appearance in the Poetical Mag

into widespread popularity, to the ex-
tent that Syntax wigs, Syntax hats
and coats soon became the proper
thing.
Doctor Syntax was next reprinted

PRACTICAL WINTER HOUSE FOR
KEEPING POULTRY
In Constructing Care Should o Select Well
Drained Soil Pay Attention
Venti

In housing fowls in winter, care
should be taken to have your build
ing warm and well ventilated in such
a manner as to prevent all direct
drafts of air coming in contact with
the fowls, and at the same time do
away with the moisture and frost col
lecting upon the ceiling and walls of
the house, writes A. E. Vandervart in
Farm and Fireside. 1t is much bet
ter to have a cold, well ventilated
house than to have one very warm
and poorly ventilated, and your fowls
will be much healthier and lay bet
ter in the former than in the latter.
In building house, one should take
into consideration the climatic con-
ditions of the locality in which the
house is to be built. A well-drained
soil should be selected, and avoid
building in a hollow where water will
collect, If you do not want any

COMMON SENSE

In Treating Ills of Live Stock
Judgment Must BE Mixed With

In handling livestock and treating
livestock ills, much common sense
must be mixed with medicine. In
fact, many minor animal ills may be
cured without resorting to medicine
The writer has a mare that became
stiff and lame in one front leg last
winter. We were told all sorts Of
things were the matter with her, and
many remedies were prescribed. We
had been away from home for a few
weeks and found that the mare had
lost the shoe from the lame foot and
that she had been confined in her stall
nearly all of the time.
To reduce soreness, the leg was
bathed in a water solution of salt and
vinegar, slightly warm. Each night
and morning the leg and shoulder
were given good, brisk rubbing to
stimulate good circulation of blood

first, but soon willingly permitted it

The Harvest Home.

ond series called Doctor Syntax's
Tour in Search of Consolation" This
was in 1920 and the following year
came Doctor Syntax's laughable "tour
in search of a wife," which undoubted-
ly contained some of Rowlandson's
best designs.
1t is said that Combe used to pin
up the various sketches against a
screen of his apartment in the Kings
Bench and write his verses as the
painter wanted them. He was a most
prolific writer and between the years
1873 and 1923 he wrote and edited
upwards of 100 books, contributed to a
score of journals and furnished, ac-
cording to his own notebook, fully
1000 columns of matter to the maya
zines and newspapers.
1t happened that about the time of
the vogue of Doctor Syntax, Clews
was making his lustrous, dark-blue
ware for the American market and he
Immediately seized the opportunity to
add to his fame by reproducing the
various Syntax designs with an accu-
racy that characterized the Clews
china.
One series began with the doctors
preparations for his tour of the lakes,
accompanied by his mare Grizzle:
At length the lingering moment came
That gave the dawn of wealth and fame;
Injurious Ralph. exact at four
Led Grizzle, saddled, to the door,
And soon, with more than common state.

Behind him was his faithful wife.
"One more embrace, my dearest life"
Then his gray palfrey he bestrode,
And gave nod and off he rode.
Good luck. good luck" she loudly cried.
vale. oh, Valet he replied.
This story is distinctly portrayed
within the limits of dinner plate, or
in the larger scope afforded by a plat
ter. Then follows list of calamities
which befell the unfortunate traveller
in rapid succession. First he loses his
way and then he is stopped by high
waymen and finally bound by them
to a tree. Here he remains in dur
ance for a while, until liberated by
two buxom matrons, who are seen on
their trotting palfreys riding to his
rescue.
Doctor Syntax setting out in search
of wife is the beginning of one set
of drawings Others of much attrac-
ton are the garden trio, the harvest
home, a noble hunting party, Doctor
Syntax with a blue stocking beauty,
Doctor Syntax star-gaZing and many
more.
The Syntax dishes are occasionally
seen in colors, as in the case of the
specimen in the Morse collection,
which illustrates Doctor Syntax's
Travels" These are probably of a
later period than the Clews china.

and one-half feet high in back, six feet
high in front and seven feet high at
the highest point. These dimensions
and the style of roof make a low
house which is warmer than one high
er, yet it is plenty high enough to
work in.
The frame plates are made of two
by-fours and the stills and corner posts
of four-by-fours. The outside is board
ed as tightly as possible with hemlock
boards, and a cheap grade of house
siding is used for the siding. with a
good grade of tarred paper between
the boards and the siding. For the
roof, roofing-paper is used, and is put
on in strips from the front to the back
of the house.

Dreamed Cucumbers.

Peel two or three large cucumbers
and cut very fine with sharp knife
or run through the coarsest knives of
the meat chopper. Drain off liquid,
but do not press.
Rub a bowl with a Glove of garlic,
put in minced cucumbers aud season
with cayenne pepper, black pepper,
salt, teaspoonful of onion juice and
the strained juice of half small
lemon.
Chill all the ingredients thoroughly,
and just before serving stir in half a
cupful of thickly whipped cream.
This makes a nice sauce for serv-
ing with fish or is equally good put
on the half shells. Serve one to each
person and pass with soft-shell crabs
or broiled lobster at a luncheon.

For Group.

Lobelia is a sovereign remedy for
Group. Get a small bottle of it and
when a child awakes in the night
with a dry, hoarse cough. which moth
ers who have croupy children soon
learn to recognize, begin giving the
lobelia in small doses until the child
vomits. The druggist will tell you
how to give it. Vomiting removes
the mucous from the throat.
