The Care of the Sickâ€"A timely article in one oi the September monthlies impresses upon those who have care 0! the sick thst the patient never should be consulted be- forehand as to what he will eat or what he will drink. If he asks for anything. give it to him. with the doctor’s permission; other- wise prepare something he is known to like and offer it without previous comment. One oi the chiei oflices oi a good nurse is to think of her patient. His slightest want should be anticipated and gratified before he has had time to express it. Quick observation will enable her to detect the first symptom of worry or excitement and to remove the cause. An invalid never should be teased with the exertion 01 making a decision. Whether the room is too hot or too cold : whether chicken broth, baei tea or gruei is best for his luncheon, and all similar matters, are questions which should be decided with- out appealing to him.

Poison Ivy.â€"As several cases of poisoning have occurred iron the handling oi this seemingly harmless plant. we publish the following receips, which is said to be en un- failing remedy, and may prove very useful to some oi our readers in the tuture: Put ten to twenty drops of bromine in one ounce 0! olive oil or glycerine and apply three or four times a day, especially on going to bed. The bromine is volatile. so only a small quantity should be made. Late Hoursâ€"Truth thinks that it is really lull time that the conventional prejudice against late hours should be exploded. When people went to bed early it was to .rise early. because business commenced at an early hour. Persons who have nothing particular to do in the morning have no reason tor rising at some unearthly hour. Nor do they. The early to bed means with them a great deal too much btd. There is nothing in itself more objectionable in being up at 3 am. than at 3 pan.

The encyciical letter just addressed by the Pope to the dignitaries oi the Catholic. Church illls ten closely printed columns 01‘ the Ouervatore Romano. and treats oi the} restoration oi Christian philosophy in} the Uatholic schools according to the spirit of the‘ angelic doctor. Thomas Aquinas. "During the last any years at least." says the Rome corres- pondent oi the Daily News, “ the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas have been held at a discount in the seminar-ice oi Rome. The philosophic teaching imparted to the young has been drawn, according to the varying leshion oi the day, lrom Grotius. Puflendori, Descartes or Kant. At present the textbook used in the Roman aeminaries is the philoso- phyoi Oorte.the late Prolessor oi Philosophy at the University of Turin, whose system, based mainly on Bosmini’s speculations. is taught likewise in the Government lyoenms. From this species oi compromise with modern thought the Pope would recall the instruc- tors oi Catholic youth back to the system of the angelic doctor. The result can only be to train up a generation of militant clergy. versed in scholastic method and dialectic debate. in order that they may cope with the ireethinker and Protestantâ€"the vsryl sntiiype, in a word, of the modern easy‘ going cure.” ‘ In asmall, neat building, situated near the Great Western Railway Station. is one of the greatest wonders of the coming Ex- hibition. Here the Axford Bros' arti- ficial incubator. or as it is called. the “ glass hen." can be seen in full operation. bringing forth by the hundreds chickens of almost every species and breed. The in- cubators. of which there are five in the room, and each warmed to the required temperature by a powerful heater having about 6.000 square inches of radiating sur- face. Kerosene oil is the material used for generating heat. and the stove is so con- structed that the oil is supplied from the reservoir in quantities just sufficient to keep up a regular flame. The dampers are regulated by electricity, so that the heat, which registers 105° Fahrenheit. seldom varies. Adjoining the glass-covered incu- bator, which contains about 1.000 eggs. is a box built after the fashion of a show case. with glass roof and sanded floor. This is called the “artificial mother." When the young chicks are able to cat, which is generally within twenty-four hours after birth, the orphans are removed from the incubator and placed in the "artifi. cial mother" until such time as they are able to pick up their living in the Open air. The inventors who are Englishmen by birth, but now reside at Chicago. 11].. state that they brought out their inventionin that city about four years ago. They have been very successful from the first. but they did not consider the invention perfect until this spring. Mr. E. 0. Arford. before visiting Canada for the first time, wished to experi- ment for this exhibition. At Omaha. Neb.. the incubator brought forth from 180 eggs no less than 179 chicks, something which had never before been performed on this or any other continent. That the artificial incubator is superlatively in ad- vance of the "slacking” hen. the inventors are perfectly satisfied. In proof of this assertion they point with some degree of pride to the eggs placed nineteen days ago in the “glass hen," many of which are already chipped by the beaks of the young birds. The usual time supposed to be taken by the “ clucking ” hen to bring forth her chickens is twenty-one days; many of the eggs in the artificial incubator. however, will be hatched within twenty days. The eggs have been placed in at such times that the, incubation of some of them will take place every five or ten minutes during the exhibition. so that visitors may at any time see the completion of the process. Seven hundred eggs have been set, so that they will be hatched on Thursday. the 18th pron, as a grand finale. It is expected that fully 6,000 or 7.000 chicks of various breeds will be the result of the labors of the “ glass hen " during the holding of the Exhibition. all of which will be sold to persons desiring sub- stantial mementoes of the Exhibition. and especially of this curiosity. The proprietors tell some amusing stories of visitors who imagine because the chicks were hatched by artificial means that they would be minus some one or other of their natural functions. such as the cock being unable to crew. or the hen to lay eggs. It is now in order to put the old connundrnm. “whether is the hen that laid the eggs, or the (glass) hen that hatches the egg. the mother?

Sowing Wheat and Oats Together.â€"The experiment has been made of sowing oats and wheat together with a view to obtain a winter covering for the wheat. The seed, in the proportion oi one part of cats to two parts of wheat. was sown in the fall. and the cats sprang up quickly and were killed by the early frost, the stalks and leaves lying on the ground all winter. keeping the snow from blowing away and preventing the sun from thawing the frozen ground. In the spring the dead oats made a good top dress- ing for the growing wheat. The crop of wheat in the following season was reported to be excellent, while wheat on the adjoining lead plautedin the usual manner was of no v as.

And the secret oi success in farming has been shown to lie in high cultivation. He who makes two blades of grass grow where but one stood before is a public benefactor. Vegetables and small fruits. when raised within reach of a market. pay even better than grain.
