A KISS FOR YOU AND ME. The years are speeding by, my love, “ The years are speeding by, And marks o£ age, they say, are there) To mar the face to me so fair; Let others see it, but not I - Will ever find it so, my love, Will ever find it so. The years are going fast, my love, The years are going fast. And many griefs have been thy lot To make thee seem what thou art not; Still dear to me, while life shall last, Wjll be thy own sweet self, my love, Will be thy own sweet self. And though we twain should go, my love, And though we twain should go Along life’s path still many years, Or flower strewn or bathed in tears, ’Twill ever be, we both do know, A kiss for you and me, my love, A kiss for you and me. —New Orleans Picayune.

Miles of 15 in’ll ing Lava. The most disastrous of all the erup¬ tions which have taken place in Iceland during the human period, occurred in June, 1783 at Skaptar. deep The lava in some places wide, was which GOO flowed feet and 200 feet like a great river toward the sea. One stream actually reached the ocean. It was in full ac¬ tivity for ten weeks, and continued gradually The diminishing lava for six months more. was over two years in cooling. One of the lava streams was fifty miles long, twelve to fifteen miles wide and 000 feet. deep. Most of the country for 100 miles from the crater in every direction was covered by lava, pumice, sand or ashes. The ejected matter is estimated to have beee greater than the entire bulk of Mont Blanc.— Globe-Democrat. ^ HOW WE CATCH COLD. More Through the Nerves than Through Draughts. Cdd is not the only factor in the pro auction of catarrh, .There is ft col ilateral cause, and a most important one, Ii* certain depressed conditions of. the Iknown nervous system, which is too littla and appreciated. In healthy conditions of the nervous system, pro vided reasonable precautions are taken against cold, there is enough vitality in the organism to resist its injurious in fluence. The nervous system is, in fact, the guardian, controller, and prime re gulator of animal heat or body temper ature, and its slightest failure to fulfil .its responsible duties—the least relaxa tion of its constant vigilance—renders us liable to fall a prey to cold. h !w f0 i l0 '' Vit Y? ?

If we assume that the individual was also in a state of intoxi¬ cation at the time, the damage done by cold would be more serious, as the de¬ pression by alcohol is superadded to that of sleep. It is therefore not sur¬ lungs prising to find that inflamation of the is frequently contracted under such circumstances. We instinctively during acknowledge sleep by the nervous depression to throw taking the the precaution a rug over knees before our forty winks on the dining room sofa. pale and ghastly woman with comes one night countered fright, having en¬ a spectre clad in white, which she calls a “ghost.” In a day or two Bhe develops a cold, for which she can¬ not in any way account. Fear acts as a depressant to the nervous system, crip¬ pling its powers of resisting the action of cold ; lienee the phrase, “shivering with fear.” Similarly, innumerable events of daily life tend to irritate, de¬ press, or excite the nerves, and render them unfit for maintaining the body temperature against the fluctuations of weather and climate. During these Un¬ guarded moments, a trifling exposure to cold or damp is sufficient to induce catarrh. It is known that stout boots, umbrellas, and wraps, though preserva¬ tives in their way, are not by any means the only precautionary measures to be: adopted; that we must endeavor to strengthen defective, the nervous system, if it be, and that when we are com-' pelled to expose ourselves to cold or wet when the nerves are depressed from tem¬ porary causes, such as fatigue, anxiety, grief, dyspepsia, or ill humor, we should be specially careful to guard against cold.— Chambers’ Journal. Don’t Kill the Old Hens. When hens are shedding feathers they often Stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider fat a sign of health. The fattening Of moult ing hens, however, as with some people, pro duces debility rather than health. Many of tl*e worst cases of roup are contracted, while the hens are moulting 1 lie ran lO r Kl of moulting , hens, if ... largely . vege table is fat-forming,and not, equired for grow mg feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate elements in their food when moulting, which if not supplied they stop laying, because the growing feathers have used all, and left no ni¬ trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season, killing old hens and relying on young pullets is a great mistake, where people have afew hens and late pullets. Because, if properly fed, the hens will have their new plumage and lay well all winter; while the pullets unless specially t-eated may not commence laying until spring, when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half. Again an old hen’s egg will hatch a more vig¬ orous chickens than a pullet’s egg. John R. Jones, Suflleld, Conn., a breeder of prize winning mottled Javas, says: “I find Sheridan’s Condition Powder,fed once daily in the food, very valuable for moulting hens. I have used it two years for exhibition birds. It assists in growing new feathers, makes the combs a bright red, and gives a rich gloss to the plumage. It will also make hens lay and the eggs hatch well. I And when the other egg-foods are used in quantities to force egg production the eggs do not hatch.’’ The above is the experience of many people in using Sheridan’s Powder. If fed to young pullets before now six months as directed, they will begin to lay old. Commence at once using through Sheridan’s Powder. It helps old hens ing trim moulting, before and gets the pullets in lay¬ will the season of high prices. Eggs fore sell be ready very high to this all fall and winter. There¬ I. S.
