In an illustrated description OF the

"Like all good things. lawn tennis IS
Of English origin. Marie Stuart while
q prisoner was compelled to beat car
pets which were hung over rail
Not contented with this humiliation,
her sister. Queen Elizabeth. once
threw dead mouse at the unfortu-
nate Marie while The latter was beat
ing carpets. The little defunct rodent
was caught on Marie's fail and sent
back over the rail and was returned
to her by means Of fail IN the hands
of Elizabeth. and thus the game or
tennis originated" further on in the
same description it is said. Two sets
are formed, and white these flirt at
the edge of the court others stand
near the net and make efforts TO speak

EVIL OF TIPPING" GROWING WORSE

We owe to W. D. Howells, who
! having just returned from England
has been interviewed in the Sun
some fresh. frst-hand information
about London's new "no-tip' ho
tel. Mr.. Howells has found tip
ping in England pretty nearly as
bad as it is here" That seems tC
be a fair statement of the state.
ment of the case. He was interest
ed in the new hotel, not far from
the confines of London's historic
CITY" and went there to lunch
The place was so crowded that il
was almost impossible to get in. A
single daily charge is made for 6
bedroom with lights, attendance
and breakfast. Tipping is prohib'
lifted.
This experiment, in the heart OF
London, is certainly interesting
The house is run by one of Lon
dons two great cheap restaurant
syndicates, which is controlled, by
the way, by the British tobacco
trust. So there is plenty of money
behind it. Its ccess rs a mo
tip" hotel depenCs largely, if not
entirely, on the deposition of the
public to discountenancc tie habit
of tipping. We have been led to
believe that the frequent and voclf-
erous denunciation of this practice
by Englishman wants comfort, and
he is generally willing to pa an ex-
ira six-pense or so to get ii but ne
objects, naturally, to Others doing
the same thing. The supply of
comfort is always limited.
Tipping in this country is worse
than in England only because the
tips are larger. The English six
penny tip becomes a quarter here;
the three-penny tip is a dime, and
is generally received without
thanks. We do not have to tip
quite so many persons. Shopmen
and policemen get tips in London.
But undoubtedly the halit of tip
giving and tip taking is growing in
this land Ct republican institutions,
strangely and inexcusably. 1t is a
deplorable habit for both the giver
and the recipient. New York

REMEDIES FOR POULTRY TROUBLES.

n llOuDlC NlI&N AitROiS w ~
present any time of the year is an
obstruction commonly called egg
bound. 1t has been found that
large dose of castor oil will assist in
overcoming the difficulty when the
case is very severe. Care should
be taken not to break the lodged
egg. In case the trouble repeats
itself, change the food, giving plen-
ty of soft mashes and no meats or
concentrated feeds.
When simple remedies. fail to cor
rect diarrhoea in birds, give the
following: subnitrate Of bismuth,
one to four grains twice day, or
pulverized cinnamon bark, two
grains twice a day. The soft feed
given the bird should be dry or as
near dry as possible. In case the
trouble is checked too abruptly,
give twenty to thirty grains of salt
in a teaspoonful of water. One or
two grains of calomel in soft water
is also a good corrective.
DR.. Cary gives the following SIM
pie remedy for destroying mites:
Lard or vaselene on legs, feet or
head, applied once or twice each
wee, m effective remedy. " Ker-
osenv emulsion sprayed on walls,
roosts. nests, floors, once a week
for y hat is commonly called chick
en- mites is very destructive. Two
to FIVE per cent. coal tar dlslnfect-
ants sprayed on same places is an
other excellent remedy. Formalin,
one part to 200 parts of water
sprayed on the walls is also advis-
ed.
Nine-tenths of the so-called poul-
try diseases are caused by lice. The
birds or chicks become mopy and
stand around with no attempt to
eat or hustle for something to eat.
If they are small chicks, we usually
begin to dope them with medicine
for cholera or bowel trouble, and
if they are hens, we conclude that
they are crop bound or egg bound.
Investigation, nine times out of
ten, will reveal the fact that they
are lousy. 1t is lice and not dis
ease that is eating away their
strength and vitality If the lice
are permitted to infest the chick
ems, it will not be long before the
disease will follow
In the early stages of roup, treat
ment may be administered that
may prove effective. Dissolve two
ounces of per magnate of potash in
six and one-half pints of water.
Completely submerge the fowls
head in the solution and hold it
there as long as the bird can stand
it without choking to death. This
will cause it to sneeze, thus forcing
the solution through the nostrils,
when it comes into contact with
diseased parts. Repeat two or
three times morning and evening.
Next dilute some of the solution
with four times as much water and
give it to the fowls to drink, allow
ing no other water. Roup in the
last stages cannot be cured. When
it has reached such a stage, the
birds should be killed, and burned
or buried so deep that they cannot
be dug up.
Perhaps the very best remedy
for so-called chicken cholera is tine
ture of iron and milk. We have
seen this used for number of
years and we have rarely known it
to fail to correct the disease. Use
about one-e!ghth ounce of the tine
ture to every gallon, and a half of
sweet milk.

Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-

your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should

ical wreck. DR.. Miles

nor rest at all. l tried different doc
