Plan for Small Garden.

GUS gardeners, ready to seize the first
warm spell as a favorable opportunity
to go out and work the heavy clay
soil before it is dry, are not only vast
ing their energy but are doing a dam
age to the soil from which 1t will take
years for it to recover. To determine
when heavy soils are ready for plow-
lected from the surface and the fing-
ers tightly closed on it. II the ball
of compacted earth is dry enough for
cultivation it will fall apart when the
hand Is opened.
A garden spot near the house is Of
ten more desirable than a plot which
is in better filth but located at an in
convenient distance. A garden which is
near the house will receive many a
spare hour of care from adults and
children which would otherwise be
wasted. Where there is ample room
for the selection of garden site, the
slope of the land should be carefully
considered. A gentle slope toward the
South is most desirable for growing
early crops, while 1t is a decided adj
vantage to have the plot protected on
the north and northwest by either a
hill, group Of buildings, or board
fence.
Drainage of the garden is Of great
importance. The land should have
sufficient fall to drain off surplus wa
ter during heavy rains and yet not be
so steep that the soil will be washed
or quilted. The surface should be
nearly level so the water will not stand
in hollows. Where the natural slope
of the land does not provide sufii-
Client natural drainage, bitches may
be dug or a tile drain put In. This
will prevent waste water from the ad-
Joining land from washing over 1t.
Such water may carry weed and grass
seeds into the garden, which are later
culled out with difficulty.
How to FertlIlze.

not only lacking in plant food but also

and not without reason. They have
found that this light lunch taken an
hour or TWO before the hearty evening
meal serves as an appetizer, preparing

A BILIOUS ATTACK.

When a northern man says he is
bilious he means that he feels heavy
mentally and lazy physically. Probably
he has a headache. He takes a purga-
he took calolnel, but he has found out
that one purge answers as we'll as an
other.
When "a southern man say that ne
is bilious it may mean that he has been
overeating and understanding and
needs "a purge. If he says that he has
had a bilious attack he nay mean
something entirely different.
A man with a bilious attack starts in
With some nausea. He probably is hav-
ing some fever. Somebody tells him
that he is sallow and he concludes he
is bilious. He takes a course of Gallo
mel. A course of calofnel may consist
of divided doses, a half grain or more
every hour for five or 10 doses. or he
may take a single large dose. Calomel
acts on the small intestine as well as
the large.
Presently he is profoundly ~nauseated
as a result largely of the calomel. He
begins to vomit. He empties his
stomach. His nausea continues and
bile is drawn into his stomach. He
vomits bile. Was he not bilious? Sure,
here is the bile to prove it. He needs
more calomel. He takes a second
course-more pain. nausea. and vomit-
ing bile. When this has subsidized he
feels better. Any feeling is an inn
provement over the nausea from Gallo
mel augmented by the nausea of bile.
He is going to be all right now. He
was bilious N the calomel has acted.
Days Of needless and useless suffering.
A bad picture? Yes, but that is not
what makes the story worth while.
Here's where the harm comes in:
Many of the cases of consumption are
called bilious attacks until the disease
is we'll advanced. A lot of typhoid
fever goes by the name of bilious at
tacks for a week or two of the disease.
Locomoter ataxis are aid to have
bilious attacks for months, during
which their disease is progressing.
The blanket diagnosis of malaria is
bad enough. Why give it a twin? Be
tween a touch Of malaria" n a bill
ious attack" almost any disease all
most anywhere in the body can be COW
| cred. The harm of the sloppy dag
nosis-a bilious attack-consists not so
much in the days of needless suffering
induced by the calomel as in the fact
tina it prevents the proper diagnosis
from being made.
have in mind now a man who has
consumption. He is far from living as
he should. In consequence he has
spells of fever from time to time. He
is not closely under a physicians OBJ
servation. When he has fever he con-
cludes that he has a bilious attack
and he takes a ourse OF calomel.
After several days of vomiting he feels
better. The calomel has acted. What
is the harm? 1t is twofold. First.
these courses of vomiting and purging
exhaust his vitality. Second. he fails
to recognize that the attacks of fever
mean that he is not living right and
in his disease is pro-
crossing.

Degenerate Christians.

From the Christian Herald.
In the WI up the river. especially
at Nasarieh on the E~uphrates. and at
Amara on the Tigris. you will find a
peculiar Christian sect called Subj.
Some call them the followers of John
the Baptist. They are a dark skinned,
black-featured race. ignorant and IA
natical; yet they are exceedingly ex-
pert in manufacturing inlaid silver
jewelry by a secret process which they
religiously guard. Every traveller
brings away souvenirs of their handi-
work. Their attitude toward Euro
peans is even more hostile than to-
ward the Arabs. Perhaps this was
brought about by an early trader who
sold to them for pure silver a large
number Of pewter forks. The Subj is
hardly worth Of the name Christian.
