PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY Dhief Requisites of Building Are Dryness, Perfect Ventilation and Pienty of Sunlight. (By :, n. GILBERT.) Frequently poultry keppers com plain bitterly of the failure of their !ov.ls to show profit, when the whole 'ault lies in defective housing. Poultry lead an entirely artificial iife when they live penned in a run, Di- even when at liberty and provided rath a sleeping-house that is to say :hey have their food provided them 2nd do not sleep in the trees, as their intnral instinct would tench them. It is pimply the difference between sleeping in a bouse and sleeping in :rces that upsets them. When they io the latter, they may not lay well out they keep their health. Iore than .aalf tlie diseases modern fowls suffer ire caused primarily by this defective lousing. The chief requisites of a house are :hat it should,, be weather-proof, so :hat whatever the inclemency of the ?eason, the fowls keep c!r3 It must 3 2 provided with ample ventilation ind should have a sunny aspect. The sum is life to all animals, and :be mors fowls cot of it, the better, i'et, sometimes, fowl - houses are placed in dark, secluded corners, and juilt to admit hardly any lisht.

A trench should be due; to carry it iway, or better still, there should be 3, spout on the roof to carry the wet away down to a down spout connected with a surface drain. It is important that. Ihe ground around the house, as well as the house itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do well cn wet land. Special attention ThouId be paid to tke roof. The eaves r-houM overlap scrr.s three inches, and it is all the better if built of stouter wood than the walls. There is no necessity to cover the rcof with f r It, provided it receives a pood dressing cf i?s at first and a further coat each year. On no ac count make the reef cf corrusatel zinc. Such a house will be ccl.1 in the winter and hot in the summer. If the poultry-keeper has some sheets of this very useful article for such it certainly is mako a rcof of thin boards and put thai 7,inc on top. For the f.oor, the eirch needs to be beaten down quite hard and a cress irg cf some inches of sand or light dry earth put cn top. If the soil is a'ayey, it is better to have a wooden Goor, for it must he dry. In any case, observe scrupulous cleanliness, remoin all droppings ance a week and taking care there is never any smell. Ventilation is a subject better tin aerrtoad now than formerly. We in dulge in mcro of it for ourselves and more for the fowls. Yet for them as for ourselves, we must not forget that the thing can b'i overdone and that a good deal depends upon the location of the house and the outside temperature. J r -. ..

Policeman McCarthy of the Union Market station, saw three men loiter ing in the vicinity of Goldstein & Millinger's jewelry store on the East side at three o'clock in the morning. "Aha!" he says, "I'll sleuth some." And he did. He hid in a doorway. Soon he saw two of the men boost the third over the front transom. "Aha!" says he, 'Til pinch "em." But he didn't. The two fled, leaving the third inside the store, making a most careful inventory of the stock, as is done by all burglars in the best sets. "Come outr there!" ordered McCar thy, but the burglar merely hoisted his hand to a position at right angles with his face, placed his thumb against his nose, and wiggled his dex ter lingers a most uncompromising position. "Come in and get me, yer big stiff," ho finally muttered. "That I will, me bucko, and 'twill be no ladylike reception you'll re ceive when I make your acquaint ance," muttered McCarthy. The rob ber's fingers continued to Bway back and forth. McCarthy got a box and tried to climb over. He couldn't reach the transom. The robber advised him. :o get a ladder. So McCarthy got a barrel and put his box on top of it. Thus he managed to reach the tran som. The burglar encouraged him. "You're doing fine, you big stiff," he remarked. "You'll be doing finer when I reach reach you," puffed McCarthy. Then ne tried to wriggle in, aa the bur glar had done. The robber was vol ible with advice. "Move a little to :he left, fatty," he jeered. "Keep on coming, cr wait until I get some grease and oil your sides." Thus encouraged, McCarthy came through until he was amidshirj and ;hen he stuck, for no human being ver said McCarthy was sylphlike. The robber got busy. He collected -race little missiles (like lumps of ;oal) and bombarded the wedged-in McCarthy. Come on; yer doin fine," he ieered. There vas j. supreme effort, and with a mighty "Oof!" McCarthy wrig gled through and, like a ton of bricks, landed upon the little robber. Charles Schwartz, muchly battered, s held on a burglary charge, and Mc Carthy is going to ask the legislature to pass a law so he can be sent to :he electric chair. Pittsburg DIs patch. Unreasonable Wcmsn. Although much has been ssid and written on the subject, we do not yet realize now desperately lonely a wom an can be in a thinly settled farming ccinmunit3. Probably no one can ever realize it except the woman herself. They had taken Seth Hodgkins' wife to the state insane asylum. The day after she left him, Seth who had been a good husband to her from the date of her tin-wedding anniversary to the date of he? silver-wedding, and through all the intervening anniver saries which there had been no par ties to celebrate received a visit ot condolence from his nearest neighbor, two miles away. Seth turned from a sink piled high with dirty dishes, to clear a chair lor his guest. "I shall have to hire more help. It seems as if he had been gone a year," he said. "I alv.'ays supposed that Harriet en joyed good health," said the sym pathizing friend. Harriet Hodgkins' husband looked in dazed and futile inquiry from the sprawly pattern on the bright new oil cloth that she had bought with the carefully saved egg-money to the view from the kitchen window, a wide, snowy field, some tall, funereal evergreen-trees and a patch of darkening sky. The kitchen did not face the road. "I cannot understand," he said, "what ailed Harriet. She has hardly been out of this kitchen for fifteen years." Youth's Companion. Her Personal Plate. A young girl who has a great many paluable small belongings and never loses any of them, says that It is solely because of her plan of marking everything distinctly with her full name and town and country adciress. Tor her parasols and umbrellas she has a set of small silver plates of ob long shape and with screw equipped ends, which are reaflily detached from a handle and put upon another one. Her golf sticks, tennis racquets, hand luggage and the valuable collars which her dogs wear are marked in the same manner and on all of her toilet articles she has plate markings which cannot be obliterated or easily wrenched off. The first cost of these plates was not very great, although all are of solid silver, and they were accumu lated so gradually that the money was not missed from her allowance. How It Turned Out. "I told that dub he was foolish to fco courting so many girls." "How did it turn out?" "s you might expect. His expenses were so heavy that he got behind with hi3 board and had to marry hi3 lano. lady." That Is Natural. Mrs Townsley So Hiram Sharp's girl Effle has become a music teacher.

One hundred and sixty babies -will be born in North Carolina tomor row. Thirty-two of these will die within a year. Over half of these deaths will occur becaust of improp er feeding. Breast fed babies have ten chances of living to the bottle fed baby's one. Mothers should nurse their, babies if they possibly can. Mother's milk is the only natu ral and perfect food for a baby. Immediately after birth do not give artificial food while waiting: for the milk supply to come. Give him nothing but cool boiled water. Never give ice water. During the first forty-eight hours after birth his greatest need is rest. Give him all the water he will take; at least a tablespoonful three or four times a day. He will not starve. Nurse the baby by the clock. "Meals at all hours" cause indiges tion in babies as well as adults. Do not feed the baby every time he cries. Crying is usually a sign of discomfort. Nursing may mean more discomfort. Often he is thirs ty. Do not think he is crying from temper until you are sure there are no other causes. Feed a new baby every two hours during the daytime and once or twice during the night. After he is four or five weeks old, nursing every three hours during the day and once at night is suffi cient. It you suspect that you have not enough milk, that your milk does not agree with the baby, or if any other question arises, ask the doctor before changing him to the bottle. He may be able to remedy the diffi culty. Your own diet may be too rich or too poor in certain food properties. Perhaps you are over worked or worried, or you may lack sleep: fresh air, or exercise. All these affect the mothers milk sup ply and may make it injurious to the little one. Do not be content with advice of neighborhood grandmothers con cerning the baby Whiskey Partaken by Accusdd snd Jurors While CoSe is Going On. Oxford, May 2. Quite an unex pected turn was taken in the cape b?ing tried here, state vs Dock Ai ken and Raul Tingen for breaking in the Seaboard depot at Creedmoor. About 12 o'clock when the solicitor was speaking in the case it was dis covered that the defendant Aiken had engaged a room the night before at a boarding house for himself and friends as he expressed it to th? landlady.

Don't you know that a little child vhose mind from the beginning is filled with beautiful and interesting things concerning the growing world about her, will not grow spiteful or envious or unhappy? She will be iu busy and happy grubbing and sing ing in her garden that she won't have time to speak ill of her neigh bor. When she thinks of her it will be to carry her flowers r.nd fruit::. Of course my system of child train ing has drawbacks. You never paw alovelier clump of Chinese sacrtd lilies than I had been saving for ;m entertainment. I heard Margaret singing down by the cow lot and went down there for her, just in Know the best ; time to see the last sacred lily bud I need doing when "we see ourselves as others see us." So let us look at the farm when we go out to work in the morning and see what we can do at little or no expense to add beauty to the acres. Now is the time to do this work, and done now, it will add to the charm of farm life through all the years to come. A. L French, in The Progressive Farmer.

On Safe Ground. days, Whenever, on one of his rare holi- Captain Goldby went to the city, he took some young relative with him as a special treat. On one such occasion he told his seventeen-year-old grandson, whom he had with him, that they would "dine at a real rest'rant, and get a taste of fancy cooking." When they were at last seated in the great dining-room, the grandson waited impatiently while the captain reak the bill of fare completely through without omitting a single article, whether domestic or foreign in title. At last he sighed, and handed the card across the table to the boy. "You choose what you like, son ny," he said, with a sigh. "As for me, I reakon as I've already eat more herrin' than any other man livin', I might as well stow away a little more. It's al'ays agreed with me. 30 far." The Youth's Companion. DQS'T POISON YOURSELF WITH MERCURY That's What You May do if You Take Calomel Eecause Calomel is a Form of Mercury. If you ask a druggist for bi-chlo-ride of mercury, he will give it to you in a red label bottle marked POISON. Calomel is also a chloride of mercury, a your doctor will tell you, and, as everybody knows, mer cury is poison. When you think you need a dose of calomel, instead of whipping your liver up with the mercury it con tains, go to E. T. Whitehead Com pany's drug store and pay fifty cents for a bottle of Dodson's Liver-Tone, a pure vegetable liquid that starts the liver to action just as surely as calomel does and is perfectly mild and harmless, with no bad after effects. No restriction of habit or diet is necessary. Dodson's Liver-Tons gives such perfect satisfaction in curing consti pation and torpid liver, that E. T. Whitehead Company will give the money back to any person who tries it and does not find it a perfect sub stitute for calomel. disappear down the Jersey s throat, and by the way, I never saw a cow smile before, but I give vou my word that beast was so pleased, she was smiling.
