POULTRY POINTERS.

Eggs are as hard to make from i'm
proper foods as lamp-posts are from q
bag of sawdust. IL is possible to get
eggs in winter, when they are of the
greatest value, but you must do your
part. Proper feeding and care will cause
the hens to produce at almost any time.
If you will supply the raw material the
hen will do the manufacturing and you
will reap the rewards.
If you hide the hOppers containing the
grit and mash food from the hens, and
think that they will get exercise in seek
ing it, you are much mistaken. Hens
never play that game. They will only
eat what they want. and this should be
placed in a bright convenient place for
them. They will never hunt in out of
the way places for it.
Next week we will have something to
say about Ducks.

now for being a good boy" the whole
school would quit.
People who are not called Jones are
called Williams. or Evans, or Hughes.
or Lloyd. They divide these names
between them and make the best Of 1t.
They do not follow the English meth
cd of taking their surnames from
towns and Villages. They felt that to
do so would cut them off from the rest
OF mankind. Nobody could possibly
call OH Mrs. Llanymynech. Disloca-
ton of the jaw Is a great drawback to
social intercourse.
The Welshmnn has the Celtic mag
ination. says London Answers. He
never calls spade n spade. When he
has done describing this implement Of

thinks he has been listening to story

Man Moro Liquid Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
Into the formation OF living body ia
bathed in moisture, by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
nlive and are enabled to carry out
their duties. Even the bones, which
appear to be the most solid Of all, owe
more than half their weight to the
presence of fluid. That our bodies con-
tain a large amount Of fluid Is proved
In striking manner by the blisters
which rise after the infiictiOn Of burn.
Water, In fact, plays a very important
part In the human anatomy. for It is
through its agency that the vital pro-
cesses Of digestion. absorption and the
excretion Of waste products are car
ried out. To reduce the whole matter
to figures and taking 154 pounds to be
the total weight Of an average full
grown man, 1t Is said that water alone
accounts for 100 pounds of the whole.

and here is the history Of its origin:
After the Moors first invaded the coun-
try the Christian and Moslem popula
tion became 30 mixed that 1t was Diff
cult to say which were Moors and
which Spanlards. The Spaniards then
hit upon means by which they could
at once distinguish their brethren.
They did not shave their lips any long
er, and they allowed tuft of hair to
grow below their under lips, so that
their boards formed the rude outline Of
a cross. Thus the mustache became q
