ExpER1MENTs.-Ap physician of Mont
palier, in France, has lately been making
experiments with fowls to see what effect
wine, brandy, and absinthe would have
on them, They took to the liquors
naturally, and soon grew very fond of
them. Two months devoted to absinthe
killed the strongest cock or hen those
which used brandy died at the end of four
months and q half; those which used
wine lived ten months. 1t was found
that under the developing power of
strong drink the cocks crests increased
to three or four times their original
size, and became fiery red, as the noses
of old topers come in time to bloom and
blossom like the rose. In view of these
experiments the Pal Mall Gazette sug-
gests the propriety Of introducing the
a-pot into the hennery in order to as
certain the truth or falseness of the opin.

FISHING. There is new invention in
fishing Out in West Virginia they sink
a tin cartridge containing pound of
nltro-glycerine to the bottom of the river,
explode it by an electrical battery, and
then pick up the fish, stunned but not

FUN.-At an Agricultural fair recently
held OF Oxford, Del, one Of the most
amusing parts of the programme was the
potato match. -Four bushels Of potatoes
were placed along the trotting course, in
four lines of bushel each, and about a
foot apart on the ground. The four con
testants each had wheelbarrow, and at
the word "Gon commenced picking up
the potatoes and depositing them in the
wheelbarrows, and the first to get them
loaded up and return to the starting
point was to be declared the champion
potato picker, and rewarded accordingly.

TAKE CARE.-Joseph Harris gives this
sensible advice. Take care of your health,
and that of your family. See that the
cellar is scrupulously clean. Whitewash
frequently. Use chloride of lime freely
about the sink, sewers, etc. Recollect
that dry earth is capital disinfectant,
and is cheap in the county. We have an
idea that there are out-houses that would
not be quite so offensive il half load Of
