Chicken Roost.
Windows In Poultry House.

Put the windows in the poultry house low down to the floor, so that the hens will get the benefit of the light and sunshine when scratching for their feed. The trouble with windows set high up, is that they let the sun. shine in on the perches when the hens are on the floor scratching, and when they are not on the roost the sun doesn't shine, so there is no equi- librium in such plans.

ASSISTANCE IN THE NURSERY

Some young children suffer at times with a form of sore mouth known as "ulcerative stomatitis," " caused sometimes by general i'll health, but very often by neglect of proper means for keeping the mouth clean.
 The first thing noticed is that the child dribbles profusely, in some cases the saliva pours from the mouth; the breath becomes offensive and on inspection the gums will be found very much infamed, swollen or spongy.
 Soon along the line of contact of the gums with the tooth yellowish line will be seen, or in other cases distinct yellow spots or tiny ulcers are scattered about in the mouth, under the tongue and on it. The whole mouth is very sore and ten der, the gums bleed on the slightest touch and the child will take only the softest food.
 If the disease be neglected it may cause the loss of some of the teeth, and therefore treatment should be prompt. An astringent mouth wash is necessary and a solution of alum, five grains to one ounce of boiled wa ter, is good preparation. The mouth should be washed out with this every two or three hours.

HOW PAIN WAS CONQUERED,

It was a bakers son who saved the human race from endless pain. Sir James Simpson was the first man to discover that chloruform could be used to render persons un- conscious for the purpose of per- forming operations. Until almost the middle of the last century when anyone underwent surgical opera tlon there was no way in which the patient could be rendered uncon- scious. MT. Simpson first practiced 1t upon himself, and one day was found lying unconscious on the floor of his study, where he had fallen after inhaling it.

He would gulp down an egg and cup of tea and stick cig- arctic in his mouth, from which a successor was never absent through out the day. That long life of Lab- by enabled him to tell stories of Bismarck in his unknown days, of the original of Thackeray's marquis of Steyne and of Disraeli's Lord Monmouth.
