SIGNOR ETHARDO ON THE
SPIRAL PLANK.

One of the NEST attractive features
of the entertainments at the Crystal
Palace in London is the performance
OF Signor Ethardo. This wonderful
gvmnast, who is a native of Italy.
ascends a long spiral platform by
propelling up the narrow path
large ball on which he stands, and on
which he Immediately decends by the
same difficult and narrow road-a
feat which seems to be by far the
more difficult. The spiral platform,
in tire shape of cork screw, is built
on the platform in front of the great
orchestra, and in :ull view of the
many thousands of spectators Sig
nor Ethardo has been favored with
royal patronage; for at the Dante
Festival at Florence, he appeared in
the Presence of King Victor Emanu-
ell, who expressed his high approval,
while his MJesty's subjects burst
into a frantic fit of enthusiasm, which.
it appears, baffled all powers Of des
cription. italian sensitivehess was
also carried to such height that the
music was stopped, for fear the vi
bration should cause the gymnast to
make a false step. Certainly the
large Christmas assemblage at the
Crystal Palace displayed no parti :u-
lar anxiety for the performers safe
ty, though they were not backward
in applauding him as he arrived at
various stages of his tortuous and
narrow pathway, as he reached the
small circular platform of the sum
NIT, and so he finally descended in
safety. The globe on which this
extraordinary peformer works his way
up and down is 80 inches in diameter
anG go inches IN circumference. The
width of the winding platform is II
inches, fat, with no groove or pro
lection o. any sort to assist the
assent or descent; and the hight OF
the spiral column is so feet The in
cline winding from the base to the
capital of the column is upward of
$50 feet in length. The globe is
constructed of wood and iron, with
out any India-rubber, gutta-percha,
or other adhesive material to assist
the Signor in his difficult task

large stock of poultry. They do
not thrive well, kept together in large
pumbers. They become sickly, in
Tested with lice, and lay but few
eggs. They need q good range
where they can find plenty ofinsects,
and il kept in large numbers, these
insects are distributed among so
many that they do but little good to
any. Some think that by supplying
meat the loss of insects can be over
come; but we have never seen this
effectual. 1t is true, in winter hens
must be supplied with meat If you
expect them to lay. We have kept
various numbers OF hens, and have
come 10 the conclusion that the most
profitable number for eggs is about
thirty. We got more eggs when We
kepy thirty hens than when we kept
seventy. And we believe that every
one who will try the experiment will
find that our experience will be his
own.
A warm hen house is needed in
winter, ifyou would have your hens
lay. If allowed to roost in trees.
and left exposed to the storms Of
rain and snow, and to the intense
cold that prevails, you need not ex-
pect fresh eggs. But with a warm
house, plenty of feed and water, and
some meat, your hens will reward
you with nice fresh eggs, which are
such great luxury served up in so
many forms upon every gentleman's
