this run, keeping them confined in the
box during the night. In warm. dry
weather they were let out upon the
ground with a low wire net keeping
them in a small corral OF course the
box containing the hover was water
tight and the cover hinged so the Jug
could be easily lifted at night, the,
cool water thrown out and hot water
put in. Only very young chicks in
very cold weather need the water
changed at night In sunny days their
run can be a new one each day. The
covered run should have floor and
cloth on two sides to prevent draughts.
Both the covered run and the hover
box should be raised from the ground
to avoid dampness.

There is a scientific advantage in
laughter. 1t is not only that If we
laugh the world laughs with us. and
we derive all the accompanying senti-
mental gain, but we are actually bene-
fitted physically by It. Risibility which
is usually treated from its NOR
al side purely has also its physical
advantages. 1t increases the heart ac-
ton, thereby sending the blood quicker
through the veins, and strengthening
the liver on the way. It shakes the
diaphragm. and encourages action Of
the muscles Of the abdomen
Shakespeare goes so far as to claim
better leg action for the one who
laughs. in the Winters Tale" he makes

Desserts.

The importance of the dessert at
dinner is rather overlooked. nowadays
We are a nation of extremists. and
because our grandmothers overdid the
matter by serving pies at breakfast,
we have gone to the other extreme,
and wind up the dinner with "a pinch
OF SALT maybe, or a drink of water
(which, by the way, is bad habit, as
the liquid neutraiizes the gastric
juices).
The idea of little extras, like pud-
ding, small slice Of pie. or even a
bit OF candy, has its foundation in a
real need Of the system. We are not
making a plea for huge fadges Of pie,

to the simple sweet. the light soufie,

The patrolman, convinced that
things were all right, acted quickly;
Foley's was invaded, and the prisoner,

Jones went over his story again to
the sergeant, dilating on the details

however, failed to bring forth either

There was sure something doing at
the Silver Tip schoolhouse Saturday
night At eight o'clock the building
was dark and gloomy and the floor
was covered with everything from
Chalk to pieces of sage brush and coal,
but behold the transformation which
had taken place IN less than an hour.
Three men with brooms swept the
floor; then for good measure the wom-
en- swept it again. Somebody brought
a stove; some one else arranged boards
for seats. Still another sprinkled wax
on the floor about an inch deep, and
then the music started; also the fun.
twenty-five couples we're on the floor

dancing like mad until midnight-and
then some.

tents of the tin cup around until the
ingredients were well mixed.
And then those ham sandwiches!
Tied up in tissue paper with red rib
bons. Some were so hungry after the
strenuous hours of the early evening
that they ate the sandwiches without
removing either the ribbon or paper.
But the dance went on. Was there
ever such a time before? Old-fashioned
quadrilles were mixed in with waltzes
and two-steps, and for good measure
jigs were thrown in. The old school
house may have seen its best days as
far as learning is concerned. but it
is pretty good dance hail in a pinch
