With the bloom and beauty of the |
season, Its balmy airs and delightful
temperature, we feel like living with
new life, and are therefore cften very
careless In taking care of ourselves. It
is this forgetfulness that lays us liable
to attacks of rheumatism, the more
liable because we think there is little
danger of its coming on, but rheuma
tism Is an easy thing to take and some
times a hard thing to get rid of unless
we take the advice of others and learn
that the best way possible is to use St.
Jacobs Oil. It has been used so long
as a sure cure that this advice is given
in good faith from the testimony of

Insanity in Prussia.
There lias been a good deal of com
ment of late upon the increase of In
sanity In England. It seems, from n
recent official report, that a similar If
not a worse condition of affairs exists
in ITussia, where the lAnatic asylums
find difficulty in providing accommoda
tions for the crowds of applicants for
admission. In 1871 the total number of
lunatics in Prussia was 55,003, in ISBO
it had risen to 00,345, while in 1890 it
had gone up to 52.550. It Is interesting
to note also that, while tho growth of
Insanity Is general, it is more marked
among men than among women. Of
100,000 Prussian males It seems 278
are found insane'; but In a like number
of women only 243. From figures given

Regularity is a matter of importance

however, endured in the belief that it

What a Rune-Cutter Cute.
In feeding poultry the greatest
economizer is the bone-cutter. It is
better than a small hand mill, clover
cutter or any other machine of like
nature. With it we can cut a pound
of green boue in about three; minutes,
and we find five to seven ponnds of
fresh-cut boue, when mixed with
other food, enough for one hundred
fowls.
In buying meat for chickens, the
cheapest we can get here is five cents
a pound, and it is cften a third bone,
and has to either be cut by hand or
cooked to be utilized. In the same
market we can get fresh, clean bones,
with a good deal of meat adhering to
them, at half a cent a pound. So, then,
every time we cut a pound of bone we
make four and one-half cents as com
pared to the price of the cheapest
meat. Aud that is not all. We find
that one pound of fresh-cut bone
equals, in nutritive qualities, five
pounds of grain.
Another point in the economic line:
A bone-cutter will cat vegetables as
well as bones, and three times as fast.
Any kind of roots can be cut with it.
We sometimes mix small pieces of
bone and vegetables in the hopper and
cut them up togethor. A liner mix
ture, with a little bran and cornmeal
mixed in, dampened with water, can
not be imagined. The hens just can't
help laying when fed such stuff; aud
yet it is cheap. We cut potato, tur
nip and applo peelings up with the
bones, and in that way get the best of
food at the smallest cost.
In working a bone-cutter,'don't at
tempt too much. It is only a piece of
machinery, after all. Don't lunge
against it with all your strength. We
have just been running ours for thirty
minutes, and are not tired. We avoid
flinty bones, selecting ribs, neck
bones, back bones and trimmings from
beefsteaks, such as the butchers chip
off in trimming up steaks. Such bones
have a good quality of lean meat stick
ing to them and marrow within. The
cutter puts them in good shape for
even the smallest chickens without
any great exertion on the part of the
operator. Our bone-cutter will cut
hard shin bones, but we do not utilizo
them because we can get better and
softer bones. The modern bone-cut
ter is a cutter, not a grinder. The
purpose is to obtain food, not grit,
from the fresh, green bones.—H. B.
Geer.
Feeding Bees Profitable at Times.
As the natural bee pasturo (uativo
timber) is cut away, tho matter of
feeding bees becomes more important,
writes W. Z. Hutchinson, of Michigan.
As a rule, there are two periods in the
year whou it may bo profitable to feed
—the spring and full. First comes
the matter of stimulative feeding in
tho spring. It will not do to recom
mend this indiscriminately. In some
localities bees can find something to
gather almost as soon as it is warm
enough for them to fly. Where thero
are willows, soft maples, fruit bloom
and the like, something that furnishes
tho necessary food with scarcely a
break until the main harvest of clover
opens, there is no necessity for stimu
lative feeding. Nature furnishes it.
But suppose there is scarcely anything
to be gathered until tho white clover
opens, tlion the bees will not bo in
condition to work. Their numbers
will be small, their combs lacking iu
both honey and brood, and by the
time that they are ready to collect
honey the harvest is past. Iu such
cases, feeding in the spring is very
beneficial, but do not begin it too
early, so that brood will bo started,
then chilled later. Ouce it is started
it should bo continued regularly until
the main harvest opens.
Another advantage of this spring
feeding is that tho coml>3 are filled
with food and brood, and when tho
white clover comes in it must from
necessity go into the sections. A
feeder of sufficient capacity to cover
tho whole top of the hive is advisable.
Have openings at the side for tho bees
to come up and go down upon slats of
wood placed close together. Let it
have a reservoir in the center from
which the food can rise up among the
slats upon which the bee 3 stand and
take their food. "Feeding back" ex
tracted honey to secure tho campletiou
of unfinished sections is made profita
ble by some beekeepers in some local
ities, but it is doubtful if tho ordinary
beekeeper would make a success of it.
If there is an abundant fall llow of
honey lasting until frost, fall feeding
will not be needed. It is always best
to get ail of tbo white honey possible
into the sections, whether there is a
fall flow or not. If there is nous,
then feed. It is a simple matter.
Just decide how much a full colony
with sufficient stores ought to weigh,
weigh all and then feed those that are
lacking until they weigh the requisite
amount. To judge or decide as to how
much a full colony and stores ought
to weigh, weigh an empty hive aud
enough empty combs to fill tho
hive, add about six pounds for the
bees and any pollen that there may be
in the combs, then allow about twenty
five pounds for outdoor wintering nud
fifteen for cellar wintering. This is
muoh more than will probably he used,
but it is well to err on the side of giv
ing Aplenty. There is no better o
cheaper food thVb;(L syrup of granu
lated sugar. Tile consistency does
not matter eo much if the feeding is
done early, and it ought to be, so that
it may be thoroughly ripened and
sealed.
Poultry Notes.
Brooder chicks aro not troubled
with gapes and mites.
The February and March pullets
make next winter's layers.
The March-hatched pullol io worth
three June-hatched pullets.
A little lean raw boef is excellent
for chicks—but must be chopped fine.
Don't neglect the grit for chicks.
Put some iu food at least once every
day.
Dust tho sitting liens with Persian
insect powder twioa during the three
weeks.
Don't trouble yourself to give brood
er chicks a dust box. They do not
need it.
The cockerels marketed in May will
pay the cost of raising pullets to
maturity.
Do not hurry tli9 chicks from beneath
the hen. They need warmth mure
than food.
If an egg gets broken in nest, re
move hen aud wash the remainder in
tepid water.
The early March pnllet is worth
two lato April-hatched pullets, as a
general thing.
Everybody's hens will begin to lay
now. Havo yours supplied you with
eggs during the winter?
Give the chicks a little green food
of somo kind—a small box of lettuce
in tho kitchen window will supply
them.
Don't coop hens up in a little dirty
pen, but clean things up and make
them comfortable. Use plenty of lit
ter and make them scratch.
The poor chick is apt to got scant
care when other work is pressing on
every side, yet it is work that will pay
better than other work we may neglect
the chicks for.
Those who havo superannuated or
otherwise unprofitable hens should eat
them. They are easily fattened, and
when properly cooked ure excellent
appetite appeasers.
Any poultry raiser who permits his
fowls to get their combs frozen i 3
derelicit iu his duty. Keep the chick
ens housed whenever tho temperature
goes as low as C or 8 degrees below
freezing.
Now is the timo to make up the
breeding pen, if it has been neglected
until now. A dozen or fifteen hens is
enough for n pen, and only place one
cock or cockerel with them. Two will
do more fighting than anything else.
Don't forget to dust the hen well
with insect powder before giving her
tho eggs, nud again before she hatches,
There is nothiug that will sap the
chick's vitality quicker than lice. No
use blaming the eggs or the hen when
the fault is yours. Lice we always
havo with us.
It is a great mistake to set eggs
from all the fowls. No matter if the
hens are all scrubs, there will be afow
that are belter tlrnu tho rest—more
uniform in size and probably better
layers. These should be put in a
good-sized pen with the best ccck, aud
their eggs set.
Vegetables a Fighting Diet.
I regret to say that vegetarianism is
a fighting diet. Ninety-one per cent,
of the world's fighting has been done
ou farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
Square I found it impossible to run
away as fast as tho meat eaters did.
Panic is a carnivorous specialty. If
tho army were fed on a hardy, healthy,
fleshless diet we should hear no more
of tho disgust of our colored troops
| and of the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies
!at the cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I
am myself congenitally timid, but as a
vegetarian I can generally concoal my
tremors; whereas in my uuregenerate.
days, when I ate my fellow-creatures,
I was as patent a coward as Peter the
Great. The recent spread of fire-eat
ing fiction and Jingo war worship—a
sort of thing that only interests tho
pusillanimous—is due to the spread
of meat eating. Compare the.Tip
perary peasant of the potatoes-and
buttermilk days with the modern gen
tleman who gorges himself with
murdered cow. The Tipperary man
never read bloody-minded novels or
cheered patriotic music hall tableans,
but ho fought recklessly and wantonly.
Your carnivorous gentleman is afraid
of everything—inolitding doctors, dogs,
disease, death and truth-telling.—G.

the rigid examinations of workmen and

Famous of French Women,
i The recent eale Izi Paris of a mantel

1 tlladame Recamler, recalls the memory
pf that most remarkable woman. She
•was- In her time the most beautiful and
(the most famous of European women
[and her modesty and ber accomplish
hnents enchained the world of France
Ito her feet
Madame Recamler was born In 1771
pnd at the age of 1G married M. Reen
piier. an opulent banker of twice hei
age. He had Just acquired the hotel ol
M. Necker, situated In the Rue Mom
'Black. He had this property so en
'larged and embellished as to make It a
dwelling worthy of her who was to In
habit It All the furniture, even to tht
last arm chair, was designed and exe
cuted expressly for this purpose. Tht
Hotel of the Rue Mont Blanc soon be
'came the center of fashion and lntelll
genre. Fete succeeded fete. Mme. Re
'camler, radiant as a spring morning
received her friends and guests with
Incomparable grace. Her salon was a
kind of neutral ground where men ol
parties met mingled In the same ad
miration. There gathered princes, no
bles, philosophers, poets, writers, art
Ists, musicians, wits and beauties—ali
attracted by the lovable woman whos
Intelligence was hardly second to hei
beauty.
This epoch of splendor, however, was
not of long duration. M. Recamler,
through unfortunate speculations, losi
almost the whole of his fortune. Mme
tlecamler was obliged to sell her hotel,
(her lands, her horses, even her silver
[She took a lli le apartment In the Rue
masse du I>, apart, where, as In the
past, her ad; ..rers crowded around her.
Fresh flnanrtal disasters having over
taken her husband, Mme. Recamler
sought refuge In the Abbaye nux Bols,
where her salon became more cele
brated than ever. The Abbaye aux
Bols was tho home of a religious com
munity. During the somber days of
the revolution this property had served
as a prison. Under the restoration the
uuns of the community had made It a
refuge for women of the world, who
withdrew there to taste of the pleas
ures of solitude without at the same
time renouncing those of society. The
nuns ceded to her the right for life of a
magnificent apartment, and there she
surrounded herself with objects that
recalled her princely existence of other
days. The friends of former times
flocked to see her and the most noted
Parisians defiled through the salons of
the Abbaye aux Bols. A writer of this
time says of her: "She never held such
a place In the world as when she lived
In this humble retreat at one end of
Paris. It was there that her gentle
genius, disengaged from too vehement
complications, made Itself more and
more felt It may be said that she per
fected the art of friendship and caused
It to take on new charms. This lovely
woman was gracious and captivating
even in her old age. The day she com
prehended that her beauty was wan
ing, because the little chimney sweeps
no longer turned to look upon her when
she passed, she determined to conse
crate the remaining years of her life to
the duties of religion and to the culti
vation of friendship."
She died In 1840. Her life was blame
less, but her salon was the scene of In
trigues, religious and political, that
have come in for severe criticism.
Burial Money In China.
, A kind of Chinese money which is
largely manufactured and sold Is wor
thy of mention, although the traveler
need not trouble himself with It except
ns a curiosity. This Is prepared for
tho especial purpose of burning at the
graves of deceased relatives as an offer
ing to the dead. The denizens of the
other world are supposed to require
and to be capable of receiving money
In this way; but the Chinaman Is far
too practical a person to part In such
a fashion with the currency of the em
pire. Instead he buys for a few "cash"
a large supply of silvered and gilded
pieces of paper, or of imitation coins
blocked out of cardboard.
Although these have no purchasing
power on earth, they nre supposed to
count for much in the transactions of
