Roup fs caused in a majority of eases by damp quarters for the hens. Even the beat breeds of poultry will not lay regularly unless well fed and provided with comfortable quarters. A board door is easy to keep clean if a little sand is scattered over it as soon as the droppings are scraped up. Over -feeding or keeping on corn and other fattening food is quite as frequent a cause for hens failing to lay as lack of food. Fowls can be made very fat in a sliest time by feeding ;hem liberal ly with sweet potatoes, the little ones are as good as any. For indigestion give the birds plenty of sharp . gravel and also a teaspoonful of fenugreek, in the soft food, for every ten' hens. Poultry need a good dry dusting place. They like it better on a level with the floor of the poultry house than to -climb into a box, Burnt cern is the best plan of charcoal for feeding poultry being euporior to that made from wood.

Tliey will oat almost anything that is left over from the table, and it cannot, at least in the country, bo put to better use.

Coal ashes thrown in their yard is ' ' a good way to feed it. A good way to make a warm poultry house is to have double walls, with a space of four inches between and both walls to be lined with paper.

What She Thought. A servant girl, of no strong in- tellect, who lived with a lady in the neighborhood of Paisley, one day surprised her mistress by giving up her place. The lady inquired the cause and found et was a fertile source of dissension between ads. trees and maid•eereant—a lad. 'And who is this lad ?' inquired her mistress. "Ob, he's a nice lad—a lad that site in the lcirk just torment me." "And when does he intend that you and he should be married ?" "1 diuua ken." "Are you sure that he intends to to marry you at all ?•" "I dour say lie does, mem." "Have you bad much of each other's company ?" "Not yet. "When did you last converse with him ?" "'Deet! we lute lea conversed ava yet." "Then how should you suppose that he is going to marry you ?"

A woman's idea of a true friend Is one who will admire her children just as muoh as she does herself.

The following story, which has never before appeared in print, is told about the editor of one of Maine's moat prominent dailies :— When a small boy, his father, now one of the most prominent men in the State, was then runuing a printing- c Hece and publishing a weekly paper in one 01 the beet toivns in Kenuebeck County. Oue day the advance agent of a show came along and ordered some posters printed upon cotton. His ceder was filled, but for some reason he neglected to call for them, and they were thus left on the priuter'e hands. The printer's wife ran across them, and as cotton was then high, she took the cloth home and used it to line a pair of pants she was then making for the editor above mentioned, then a boy about ten years of age. As the months rolled by the pantaloons grew threadbare, and at Halloo! one day he aooidentally ,tore the seat out, leaving about a foot of lining exposed to view. Tbie in itself would have made the boys smile, but they laughed till the tears came when Ihoy observed the following words stand out boldly upon the lining in large type : "Doors open at 7.80. Perform- ance begins at 8." It is needless to say that the boy was sent home to ;Lis mother in tears.
