    “HOSPITAL BIRDS."
They Do Not Sing, But Eat and
Drink Heartily.
Peculiar Patients Described by
a New York Doctor,
“Did you ever hear of tho hospital
bird?” remarked a doctor st Bcllevua to
a Now York Feus reporter tho other
day.
“Is it a canary or tho l|irk that Bings
in heaven with its nest upon tho
ground?” quoried tho latter. “Noithcr.
Tho hospital bird is tho term wo apply
to tho fellows who winter in hospitals
and como out of their comfortable nests
with the regularity of tho flowors that
bloom in tho spring. Thoy manage to
bo well lodged and fed during tho win¬
ter, and the cliango for tho better that
comes with the spring is simply won¬
derful. No inatlor what tho disease is,
wlion it is of a modical character, it
commences to disappear.’’
“But can’t Doctor Nowcomc, tho
examining surgeons, toll what man
should be admitted to tho hospital and
what man is feigning disease?”
“Certainly, but when tho hospital
bird is admitted ho is sick. It may bo
that ho has boon sufforing from whiskey
or an empty stomach, from cold and ex¬
posure, from the grip or from any ono
of tho thousand ills to which flesh is
heir. With the exception of rheuma¬
tism there is hardly a disoaso in tho
present advanced stage of medical sci¬
ence that can be successfully simulated.
With rheumatism you havo only tho pa¬
tient’s word, except it bo of tho inflam¬
matory character, to depend upon. It
is not, as a rulo, that tho patient doc3
not come honestly into the public hos¬
pitals that i3 the evil, but that ouco in
thoy stay there long after thoy aro
cured, occupying bods that should bo
at the disposal of others. Seeing that
they aro well cared for and havo noth¬
ing to do they make up their minds to
stay in ns long as they aro allowod.
These'aro the kind of patients who tcD
that wild, weird tala of tho black bot-
tie.
“Tho story goes that when the at¬
tending physician) at Bellevue have a
hopeless case or are tiroci of treating a
troublesome patient, thoy toll tho nurso
to give him a doso that will send him
to sleep for an eternity, uuder tho
pretense that it is mediciuo. Of course,
there is not an atom of truth in this
fairy tale, but what is dono with men
suspected of being hospital birds at
Bellevue is to send them to tho Charity
Hospital on Blackwell’s Island or the
Homoeopathic Hospital on Ward’s. In
theso institutions tho food, except
where ordered by the physician, is
plain and coarse, and all pationts who
are considered able to work for their
koep are mado to do so. Fellows that
we have had in Bellcvuo for months be¬
came cured and demanded their dis-
charge from thorn iuititutiom in threo
days.
“Although it is extreme’y difficult to
simulate a disoaso in order to gaiu ad¬
mission to n public hospital it is quite
easy to delay recovery and simulate tho
existence of syinptc mi Ihnt have long
since disappears) 1. Iu such cases it is
quite common to exhaust tho resources
of all the disgusting drugs in tho dis¬
pensatory on the hospital bird who ob¬
jects to flying.”
“But can ho not bo discharged?”
“Certainly ho can, but should tho
physician ordering tho discharge ^nako
a mistako ho will find, perhaps, his re¬
putation ruined and himself hold up
to public comure ia tho newspapers.
Naturally he doos not care to tako the
risk as it is nono of his funeral.
“In this respect it is that the private
hospitals suffer moro from tho hospital
bird of the more respectable kind. It
is simply wonderful tho caso with
which doctors grant to private patients,
who havo no money letters of admis¬
sion to institutions like St. Luke’s, tho
New York, St. Joseph's llosp'tal and
others. Tho attending physicians do
not wish to discredit the certificate
presented, which in many cases are
granted only to get rid of an impecun¬
ious patient.
“A great mnny deserving people com¬
plain of the character of tho food sup¬
plied lo patients sent by the Commis¬
sioners of Charitios and Correction to
tho hospitals on Randall's and IVard’s
blands. It is certainly not equal to
that furnished in Bellovui. Tho reason
is simply this: Those hospitals roceivo
nearly all our hospital birds, and if the
bill of fare approached too close to
Delmonico’s wo would be overrun.
With all tho care rakon to mako tha
outsido better than tho inside to a tramp
sad a bummer, thero is not an hospital
from Maine to California in which they
do not manage to winter every year at
tile expense of tho charitable.”
The Jewel in Her Ring.
A recent guest at the Iletel Bruns¬
wick is the wife of a petroleum prince
who has never deserted his native heath,
the Pennsylvania oil regions, The
lady wears on her left hand a peculiar
ring. It is a circlet of rare brilliants
surrounding a bit of white substance
extremely odd. An acquaintance, who
had noticed this for some days and mar¬
veled over it, finally inquired ;
“Pardon me for asking such a ques¬
tion, but wh-.it is that strange white ob¬
ject in the center of your ring?”
“Ob,” replied tho Other, with a
proud smile, “that is the fic3t tooth of
ray eldest son.”—A r «a York Snn.
FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
DIUNK FOR FATTENING HOGS.
Com is beating food. It is too con¬
centrated for most kinds of stock, and
even for hogs it ofton creates a feverish
state of tho system that requires a good
deal of water to cool down. A hog
that is kept feverish from unloaded
stoinnch will not fatten. It should have
bcols or manglod wurtzols; but if this
is impossiblo mix wntcr with tho chill
taken oil it with a little fine middlings.
This will distond tho Btomach nnd pre¬
vent constipation, it will also furnish
tho albuminoid food necessary to make
loan meat, in which corn is deficient.
If futloniug hogs nro given drink warm,
nnd thus mixed with wheat middling*,
they will drink much moro heartily
than thoy will of cold water alone, and
be loss likoly to get oil their feed.— N.
Y. U raid.
DRIED HP CORNSTOCKS.
The difficulties in keeping corn fod¬
der in good condition nro fouud at
both ends of tho season, IhougU widc-
lj different. In fall nnd early winter
cornstocks aro apt to bo much too
moist, nnd unless speedily frozen dry
by cold weather they will boat and
mould. Later in the winter the e
frozen cornstocks dry out tho Bap that
they originally contained, and become
nearly worthless, because tasteless.
Every farmer knows that tiwnrds
springliino cornstocks greatly depre¬
date iu valuo. Thoy must be fed early
to bo fed to tho best advantage. As
for keeping dried corn fodder over one
year, it is seldom or never attempted.
It is no good tho second season, and
after two or threo times freezing dry,
is worth little except to burn for tho
ashes it will make .—American Vultiva-
tJr.
RAISE EARLY BERRIES.
It is wiso to set tho most vigorous
plants if wo expect success in straw¬
berry culture. When tho strawberry
scuds out runnors they soon tnko root
and a succossion of sots is formod. Be¬
tween tho sets a secondary branch is apt
to start which also sots. Theso sots
produce other sots, and nil this is done
at tho oxpenso of tho original plant, if
theso later sets bo usod for planting
new bods tho fruit will always be lato
and small. A few hundred plants
should bo set in a bed by themselves,
and the elongations encouraged, whilo
tho laterals arc kept nipped off. In
(his way plants of tho host kind will
bo grown, l’lnnts set out tho same
season thoy aro grown, or early the
next spring, aro tho only ones fit to
uso. Older plants become hard and
black at the root and aro difficult to
mako live. If care bo takon to grow
young, vigorous plants, they will usu¬
ally do woll. The soil must be kept
mellow so the young roots will readily
penetrate it. Otherwise they will
stand abova tho ground, the roots will
die an ! the plants will not flourish.—

FIRST PRINCIPLES IN BUTTER MAKING.
Butter is finished in the dairy and
not made there. Tho stamp of tho
dairy woman puls the gold in tho market
form; but tho work must be commenced
in tho field or iu tho feeding stables;
nnd this loads nt onco to tho considera¬
tion of feeding for butter. During the
early, suuny summer mouth, when
naluro is profuio of favor*, thoro is lit-
llo to bo dono beyond accepting her
bounty. Tho lender grasses nro full of
tho needed nutriment, aud they afford
tho constant supply of moisture without
which tho socrotion of milk is greatly
lcsscuod. Yot this season, ns well as
others, a pure supply of water
is absolutely uoccssnry. It does
not moot tho requirement if
cn>e havo a wet holo full
of surface drainago in tho pasture, or a
frog pond. Whilo it is not probable
that tho tadpolos and wrigglers
sometimes found in city milk have boon
drunk by thirsty cows, many iufusions
do oxist in such pools that aro hardly
olimiuntcd or rendered entirely harm¬
less by tho svoadorful milk secretions
of tho animal. Thecittle should drink
from spring-fed boxes; and ns ofton as
those under tho hot sun uro seenlo produeo
green growth or floating scum a pail of
conrso salt may bo put in, nnd tho cur¬
rent chocked until tho fresh water
growths aro killed; tho salt wntcr is
thou drawn off, and for a long time the
trough will remain pure and tho water
bright. —llur al Kansan .
PLOWING LAND WET.
It is not only tho difficulty in getting
the soil in a proper tilth for planting or
sowing a crop that makes it undesirable
to plow tho lan l when wot, but also
the damage to laud that in a majority
of casos is tho result of stirring tho soil
when itcaunot ho worked into a good
condition.
There may bo times in a wet season
when it will bo necessary to cultivate
tho soil when it is wot, iu order to save
the crop; but it is rarely the case that
there is any saving in pro pari a g the
soil in tho spring, in plowing or stirr¬
ing when it is so wet that it will not
work readily iuto a good tilth.
Hav ng the soil in a good tilth before
planting the seed, is one of tho essen¬
tials necossary to secure a good growth
nnd yield, and a failure to secure a good
tilth will aff.ct the crop to a more or
less extent.
In many cases, if the soil is wet it
will be a good plan to run out furrows
iu different parts of tho fields that will
alien) good draiuage, nn4 in this way
get rid of a good portion at least of the
surplus moisture. While it is very im¬
portant to got all tho crops planted
reasonably early, it will be better to
delay plantingjuatil the soil is dry.
Ono of tho advantages In plowing in
tho fall is that! tho soil will dry out ear¬
lier and bo in a condition to scodsoonor
than if left undisturbed until spring.
If tho weather oontinuos wot after plow¬
ing so as to run tho soil together, less
damage will bo done than if after plow¬
ing it turns off dry, as it is liable to
bake, nnd often the ciloct can bo seen
all during tho summer, and will affect
not only tho growth but the yield.
It will often bo difficult to work tho
soil to n good tilth, aftor it has boon
plowed wet, and this affects the germi¬
nation of tho sool as woll ns tho start
to grow. It also increases tho work of
cultivation, and often prevents com¬
mencing tho cultivation as early as it
should be, and tho better plan is to wait
until it lias dried out sufficiently so that
in plowing it will work looso and mol-
low .—Prairie Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Good care lightens tho horse’s load.
Do not allow or force milk cows to
drink ice-cold water.
With easy, well-fitting ’harness not so
many oats aro required.
Never drivo milk cows or fattening
stock faster than a walk.
To bring up a worn-down horse, give
it light work, not idlcuo3s.
You have no need of a dog in bring¬
ing the cattle homo from pasture.
Keep stock of all kinds oil tho mea¬
dow when tho soil is not dry and firm.
Whitewash in tho cow stable makes
things look cheerful and tends to clean¬
liness.
A moderate top-dressing from tho
compost heap will ensure a Hue stand of
clover.
There is no more profitable use of
skim milk, than to give it to the woan-
ing foals.
Mako a map of your orchard and on
it name all tho varieties of fruit as the
trees stand.
When gently usod, tho curry-comb
and brush are just as needful for milk
cows as they are for work horses.
You go through your barn-yard gate
twice a day, carry lug milk. What
kind of fastening have you on that
gate?
Your cows will certainly fall off in
their milk unless housed iu a warm
stable during inclcmout or very cold
weather.
Milk set at a temperature between
fifty and sixty degrees cannot be made
to pnrt with all its cream no matter how
it is set.
Hens do not cat their ogg3 unless
they learn the habit from haviug eggs
broken in tho nest. Never use stale
or broken eggs as ncst-ogg3.
Chicks nnd fowls in confinement
should have brokon charcoal before
them at all times. It is as good a con¬
dition powder as we know of.
Don’t be ashamed or discouraged be¬
cause you fail in batching quite as
many chicks as your neighbor. Expo-
ricnco will aid you, stick to it.
Cultivate homo markets for every¬
thing. Seed nothing to tho goueral
market until you havo satisfied all tho
demands of thoso liviug near by.
Crop- bound fowls can trace tbeir
trouble to tho lnck of gravel or sharp,
gritty griuding material, as woll at to
fibrous substancos, such at potato and
apple parings or grass blade 1 .
Thero it no doubt that apples gath¬
ered boforo any frost and kept in a
cool place will keep fresh much longer
and possess a higher flavor than if they
hung on the tree lati aud were frosted.
There is no economy iu crowding
poultry. They suffer moro than you
could believe and you will not believe
until you lrid a lot of dead ones in
the morning when you visit your hen
house.

Gold in India.
It is difficult to estimate the amount of
gold minted hoarded before in the India; royal but commission it was appr ox-
on
bimetallism at £130,000,000, which was
the amount imported during the last fifty
years, and is exclusive of the hoards for
centuries past. The silver was yields computed
at about £170,000,000. This for
both gold nnd silver a sum of £800,030,-
000, which represents nearly one-third
of the value of tho total amount of coin
£1,000,000,000) beer estimated by Ur. Soet-
to be in circulation in tho world.
The form which the hoarding takes is
that of bullion or coin, nnd frequently
the metal is made into ornaments, pnrtly
used for the purpose of ndornment and
partly kept as a hoard. As a rule, the
nntive prefers it in the form of ornaments
for his family, because it is a hoard, and
it is also a source of gratification to them
to possess these ornaments, The
simplest by form of jewel or ornament
worn the natives Is the thick
gold or silver wire twisted into
bangles or bracelets. The latter arc made
by the silversmith, to whom the poor
liiudoo betakes himself when he has saved
a few rupees. These are soon melted and
benton up into the necessary article of
ornament and hoard. Silver is also ham¬
mered into brooches and torques in imi¬
tation of knotted grass and leaves, while
armlets, anklets and such like are freely
fabricated. Solid or hollow gold lumps
in the form of cubes and octahedrons
strung on red silk appear as another form
of hoarding, and the gods of India,
which are many, absorb much of the mol¬
ten notable gold and silver of the country. One
design is called Svvarai and con¬
sists of an ornamentation of figures of
Hindoo gods in high relief, beaten out
from the surface or fixed by solder or
screws. In southern India there are vast
stores of gold and silver in the temples.
The poor people have no strong boxes or
safes in which to place their valubles,
and so they generally put their hard cash
and ornaments within brass lotas or baha-
gunas and then bury them underground
somewhere in the room iu which they
sleep, preferring for this purpose the
ground below their beds or disused wells
and other out-of-the-way places.
The Candle Fish.
People who are accustomed to gas and
electric light would doubtless think it
very for illuminating strange to depend chiefly up ion a fish
purposes; butth e candle
fish is the chief, nnd in many places the
only light in used by some of the natives
living the northwestern ami part of North
America. This curious useful fish is
of slender make, and measures about a
foot in length. It is silvery white, and
is regarded by the natives ns the most de¬
licious of edible fishes. It is nearly im¬
possible, however, to broil or fry it, be¬
cause the fish, so treated, almost com¬
pletely melts into oil, and it is this latter
quality which makes it so esteemed for
quired, lighting purposes. When a candle is re¬
a dried fish is stuck, tail upwards,
in a lump of clay or iu a cleft stick; a
light ly is applied to the tail, which instant¬
flames up, and the fish bums steadily
best downwards, giving a light superior to the
piece quality of “dips.” In some enses a
of rush pith or a strip of the inner
bark of the cypress tree is drawn through
the fish with a lonp wooden needle, to
act as a wick. The fish is, however, most
successfully moving used as a torch, because in
it through the air, the rather
dense smoke which it emits is got rid of.
The natives find a profitable trade iu bar¬
tering the fish with those of other places,
and latterly the extraction of the oi has
become a regular business in the districts
which it frequents. The oil is used for
many for its purposes, but is most highly said prized
medicinal qualities. It is to
be as efficacious as cod-liver oil in pul¬
monary diseases, whilst it has the ad¬
vantage of being much more palatable.
Calculating Rainfall.
The quantity of rain falling at any place
is estimated by means of a very simple
piece of apparatus known as a rain-gauge.
The most common form of rain-gauge
consists of a copper funnel, the area of
the mouth of which is accurately known.
The rain collected iu this funnel flows
into a graduated measure, which can very
easily be constructed by any one out of a
small glass side tumbler or beaker by pasting
on its marked a narrow strip inches, of paper, half
carefully off into sixteenths;
inches, quarters, eighths, and
or into inches, tenths and twentieths.
Supposing receiving that funnel the area is five of the times mouth of of
the that
the graduated measure, then a depth of
five inches in the measure would repre¬
sent a depth of one inch on an area equal
to that of the aperture of the funnel.
To raise the pile of plush or velvet,damp¬
en on the wrong side with clean, cold
water, then hold tight across the face of
a hot iron, aud rub up the crushed spot
with a clean, stiff brush.
