To get rid of offensive odors is often a very difficult task but here are a few hints which you should follow : A generous lump of washing soda and a apart of water, if put into pots and pans in which, fish, cabbage, onions and other loud smelling foods have been cooked, will thoroughly cleanse, and make them smell sweet and clean. A teaspoonful of vinegar, boiling on the stove, will counteract the smell of strong food. A teaspoonful of ground cloves will pro- duce the same result. ` A few drops of oil of sandlewood dropped on a hot shovel is also an excellent deodorizer. A stale crust of bread boiled with cabbage will absorb the strong odor. A large lump of charcoal in a refrigerator will prevent a musty smell. A pound of copperas in boiling water, if poured into drain pipes, will dissolve the grew and carry away all impurities. A disagreeable onion breath may be got- ten rid of by swallowing e mouthful of vine- gar, or dr uking a half cup of hot water, in which a pi ch of baking soda has been dis- solved. A foul reath may be sweetened by a &mutt' wasl of permanganate of potash in a teacup of water. ne frequent use of lye in the kitchen sink will prevent a horrible odor. • Just as Good!

Aninternationaltemperance congress has been held at Vienna, in Which the subject of intoxicants seems to have been handled ma scientific way. Dr. Wiesak, of Vien- na, according to the London Times' report, eave particulars of a, series of experiments Upon young and healthy persons, conducted for the purpose of ascertaining the effect of email fixed paantities of alcohol on the speed and quality of certain simple and oniltudentle mental operations, such as sums en addition, committing figures to memory and noting impressions on the senses. An appreciable decline in the power of addition was produced by a quantity of alcohol equivalent to less than half a pint of beer. The injurious elects of suchn quantity were noticeable for over 24 hours. The persona experimented- upon had. no consciousness of their diminished capacity, hut, an the contrary, believed that they were working easily and well. The circum- stance that alcohol thus falsified facts con- stitened ite greatest danger. While actu- ally diminishing the capacity for intellectual labor, it produced a feeling of satisfaction with the inferior work accomplished under etit influence, It thus acted as a hindrance 'Man& THE HURON EXPO ITOR. ] to culture,- even in tutees where there was no approach to intemperance. The wisdom of making ,.experiments on "young and healthy persons" with alOohol is very doubtful, but the results are inter- esting. They are nob startling, but, they - give scientific confirmation to a truth which is now -pretty generally recognized, namely, that the brilliancy and intellectual power which were once credited to alcohol are entirely illusory. But when taken in quan- tities far below the intoxioetion point the effect seems to be simply to dull and blunt the intellect. The illusion was, of course, due to the alcohol itself. • • A Food for Brain and Muscle.

The first farmer thereupon hid a needle in a haycock, and called "Time II His neighbor drew a match from his pocket, set fire to the haycock, and rushed off at full speed to his own house. Back he came presently, and found the haycock r duced to a heap of allies. Flourishing a huge horseshoe magnet he plunged it intjp the askee, and in a minute withdrew -nit wi the needle clinging to it. " The result of scientific eddication !" he said proudly to the first 'farmer, who was gazing ruefully at thel ashes of his haycock.

' • The Old German and His Favor- ite Horse. (Written for Tile ExPoisrroa). (By our Bluevale Correspondent.) A touching little incident 'happened in Listowel on one of -the recent horse inspec- tion days. An old German had brought in a beautiful, little, fat, sleek coal black mare and placed her in the long line of horses waiting for judgment to be passed upon them, just for fun, he said, as he knew she was too small to be, taken. When the jockey tried to put a saddle on her the old man was fairly delighted _tit the opposition his " Chessie" put up. Jessie had more than an ordinary share or comhativeness and her owner was brimming over with anecdotes about that and other of her quali- ties and herself. By his testimony Jessie was a pretty smart horse. She was half man and half horse, with bits of angel and devil in her that kept coming out er queer times, like the needles those far -away people in Missouri and Nebraska get in their feet and which never .trouble them until long years afterwards they come out at their shoulder blades with buttons and thread attached. After a while she was conquered, and -sad and long was the face of the German wben he heard she was ac- cepted. The attendants were leading her sway with three others, when the old man interfered, but they told him he couldn't get her back,as she was now their property. The poor old man nearly cried, and he begged them to take another in her place and to let him have her for a little while to feed her, for " Cheseie Eked crass." So they let.him have her for a little spell, and he talked to her of the jogs they had had to RIGHTS ISEASE Is the deadliest and Most painful malady to which mankind is subtect.

No doubt this old man I suffered more in parting with his dumb servant than the 'man who allows no affection whatever to grow up between himselfand his beasts, but how Much better it ould be for the Oreattnes, perhaps both innate and brute, if there was a tittle more of the German's love in people's '.'hearts, There would be less beating and neglect and brutal langu- age, and less plunging n the snowdrifts with a load twice too large, and less kicks for the struggling, half -buried horses.

I have seen towns that are ready to bonus any little industry - that n'oinises to give employment to a eiv men, but where very little at- tention is paid to the possibilities of increasing the value of the trade of the surrounding couatry,e This is, we believe, one of the most important. tips ever given to the towns of Ontario. Nv. C. C. ;fames, Deputy Minister of Agricul- t tire A•or the Province, used these words in a recent speech. -I Thave often thought," ht. added, "there are many towns which could. do much more to increase I heir f wosperity by assist ing in d,..veloping agricultural lirospe, i L,y in their neighborhood than by bonusing manufacturing en- terprb-es that are apt to prove, so far as the to Wns i mr I ieularly inter- .-st d are concei ned, Of a- somewhat el Jhelum -al no t If the men in "any given town who aro treeng to !devise ways and moans of milking Wade a manufacIuring centre would coneiller the ma. ter, theY would se' that no greater bene- fit could be conferred upon the town than to make it 110 businoss office, factory and warehouse for a Wide mud prosperolis _agricultural area.

This is 'what, Emerson F. Harris thinks of a local miper: The rightly conducted newspaper ecintributes more to the well being of its Community than any other priv- ate enterprise caul is second in -im- portance to the people, to no insti- tution, unless it be the public school. TIM local newspaper that records all of the local happenings, tenden- cies and developments that are of in- terest to the people, -has performed it very important service. If in addi- tion to this, the editor construes and comments on - the more important. matters, in a way to reflect the best sent inunits of the people, lie contri- butes a- factor] of local life, the Value, of which cannot be overestimated, The editor who. has the ability and is in touch with the community, so as to conduct a paper on these lines, has a hold upon the people, which not only gives him an honorable and cflgnitied position, but should, with good business management, make'him ttfl e«Iequate income nnd a, valuable property.

THE AT OF CHICKOni-RAISING- Work at Government Experimental Sta- tions Proving Satisfactoft. Mr. P. C. Hare, poultry expert for the Department of Agriculture, has just returned to Ottawa from an of- ficial trip to the eastern provinces, where he visited the poultry statione at Truro, N. ene and Bondville, Que. At 'both theso places, as well as at Whitby, experiments are De.ing made with three lots of chickens, numbering from :250 to nt). Here- - tofore the experiments conducted by the department have been confined to fattening, but this year the stations are engaged in raising chickens, tend watching them day by day from the time they- leave the iiecubater until. they are four months ,old, when they go into the fattening crates and are kept there one month, when they are ready to be killed and marketed. The cost of the experiments will be not- ed, so that the profit may be :ascer- tained. These chickens are being fed on skim Milk and ground oats, and a little blood meal, the whole making a very rich food. By this treatment a chicken weighing one and a quarter ounces when hatched has in three weeks reached eight ounces, and in five months, five or Aix pounds. The experiments' are being tried as be- tween Wyandottes and Rocks in or- der to judge the respective merits of the two varieties. Sciontific View of Wrecks. It is a belief common among sail- ors that a wreck never goes to the bottom; that it sinks until the pres- sure of the water holds it fast, and there, rocking about in the shadowy depths, it slowly dissolves]. What food for the imagination lies in this fleet of the lost navies of the world, shill floating up and down in. the deep, Meeting- and passing in silence, no voice ever calling, through tho dark, no gall- ever rising to- it breeze. Kipling has voiced this idea in one of his poems: "The wrecks dissolve above use their - dust drops down from afar - Down to the iark, the utter dark, where the blind white sea snakes are,'L It is unfortunate, however, that the poetic view is not the scientific view. "Anything that will sink in a glass ,of water," says Sir John Mur- ray, the eminent Canadian scientist, "will practically sink to the bottone of the deepest sea," Murray points out that water is one of the most ineompressible of substances; (water can be compreesed only one tvdenty thousandth of its bulk) , that although the pressure may be enormous at the ocean bot- tom, the water is only a, very little more dense than at the surface. And yet the compression is mitlicient, so that if it were suddenly s 'leaaed, say by the suspension of the attraction of gravitation, and all the water over all the globe .should eXpand un- - til it was of the same density us the surface water, the oceans „mould in- stantly rise some 500 feet, ceyering practically all the- inhabit ed loud in the world.
