Lavoisier (1743-94) comes very near being the "father of chemis try." Although neither the science of chemistry nor yet a change in its. objects can be said to have orig inated with Lavoisier, the means he introduced of attaining those ob jects, tho ideas he put forth con cerning the constitution of bodies and the explanation he gave/of vari ous phenomena were strictly new and gave to this science in the twen ty years preceding his death a com pletely altered aspect. The mine of chemistry had yielded rich returns long before Lavoisier came. He availed himself of the old work ings and, extending them, opened the main lode.—New York Ameri can. Growth of Eloctrio Scions*. An Englishman, Dr. Gilbert of Colchester, may be considered as the founder of the science of elec tricity. He was the first to care fully repest the observations of the ancients and applv them to the prin ciples of philosophical investigation. Dr. Gilbert's experiments, extend ing through many years, were pub lished in his book "De Magnete," which may safely be said to be the first modern work on the science of electricity.

Windows closed, glass all in and cracks filled up? A sadden cold night will cause lots of tronble in the pigeon loft. Snow is bad food for the birds; clean it ont of the flyways. Do not wait for spring for house cleaning time; cleanliness is next to godliness. Do not allow your birds to bathe daring severe weather, nor in mtw weather unless the sun 'shines. Do not slacken up on feed while p severe lasts; the birds need considerable food to keep warm. Keep record carefully so you Will know what birds arc the best squab breeders and raise the heaviest squabs. Do not fail to remove at once all odd or unmated specimens from the lofts. Nothing makes so much trouble in the pigeon loft as odd or unmated pairs. How often do you scour out the water fountains? It is easier to empty them at night than to use a cold chisel and hammer to clear them in the morning. Always have one or two mating ooopS about tho place. These an* coops that have slat divisions in them where the male can be kept on one side of the partition and the female on the other side; Keep them there until they show a willingness to become acquaint ed, then remove the partition, and after a few days you will find the pair mated, when they can be returned to the loft. Above all things clean out the drones and the non-prodnoen. Watch your breeding pigeons the same as yon Would care for your best producing hens. With poultry the present-day plan is to hatch only from the hens that lay the most eggs. —Ambitions yonng men and ladies should learn telegraphy, for, since the new 8-hour law be came effective there is ■ shortage of many thousand telegraphers.
