Necessity of Green Food for Fowls.

THE last requisite in the shape of diet is
a regular supply of green food. Here,
again. fowls kept on grass will need no
attention; but for birds penned up, the
daily provision of it is an absolute neces-
sity, though most beginners are ignorant of
it We well remember, in our own early
experience, how our fowls died; we could
not at first tell why; and one fine buff
Cochin cock, whose only fault was a
strong vulture hook, was, in particular,
greatly regretted An experienced friend
let us into the secret; and after that We
had no difficulty in keeping fowls, even
where it is often said they cannot be kept
in health-viz., in yard paved with
large flag stones. The best substitute for
natural grass is a large fresh turf thrown
in daily to each four or five hens; and
even in towns it is often possible to pro-
cure this, by giving children a few pence
every week to keep up regular supply.
Where turf is not allowed to be taken,
grass may be cut or pulled; but in this
case it must be cut into green chatf
with shears or chaff- machine.
The latter plan is how we actually man
aged for years in yard only sixtv-seven
by thirty-five feet, divided into six pens,
paving some child few pence to bring
fresh-cut grass daily, cutting it up and
mixing it with their soft meat IFrghts

A Plea for the Bird.

BARON Won TsCHUDI, the well-known
Swiss naturalist, says:
" Without birds, successful agriculture
is impossible. They annihilate, in a few
months, a greater number of destructive
insects than human hands can accom-
plish in the same number of years.
Among the most useful birds for this pur
pose may he classed the swallow, wren,
robin redbreast, sparrow and finch.
Tschudi tested a titmouse upon rose
bushes of his neighbor, and rid the same
in few hours of innumerable lice. A
robin redbreast killed in the neighbor
hood of eight hundred flies in an hour.
A pair of night swallows destroyed in tif-
teen minutes an immense swarm of gnats.
A pair of wrens flew thirty-siN times an
hour, with insects in their bills, to their
nests. He considers the sparrow very
important a pair of them, in a single day,
carry three hundred worms or caterpillars
to their nests-certainly good compen-
sation for the few cherries which they
pluck from trees. The generality of
small birds carry to their young ones,
during the feeding period, nothing but
insects, worms, snails, spiders, etc.
"a farmer Indignantly destroys n robin
because he has caught him eating a cherry
and thinks he has done mankind Il service
in so doing; but let him take II moment
to open the crop of the bird, and he will
find il full of worms. In some instances
200 worms and grubs have been found in
the gizzard of n single bird. An oriolc
shot in field OF wheat had 300 wcevis
in its crop. A pair of orioles parent
birds) destroyed 900 caterpillars in a
day. The commissioners appointed by the
French Government have reported with
an accuracy Characteristic OF French
legislation. 1t has been decided that by
no agency save that of little birds can the
rava.es of insects be kept down A Ger
tain insect was found to lay 1000 eggs
but n certain titmousc was found to cat
POO, 900 of these eggs ina year. A swallow
devoIrs about 80 insects day, eggs and
all. 4 house sparrows nest in the city Of
Paris was found TO contain 700 pairs of
the upper wings of cock -chafcrs, though,
of course, in such place, food of other
kinds was procurablc in abundance.

floor, and from this hang full pink and
white curtains. Under the second shelf
put row of hooks for hanging clothes.
Plain and inexpensive as all this I'M
deniably is, there is no appearance of
meagerness-th full hangings prevent
that. Drapery has the same effect upon
a room that it has upon the human figure,
and we all know that an amply flowing
muslin robe imparts more than ten times
the grace to the wearer than is given by
scanty folds of even the most expensive
silks, satins, or mOires.
With white mating on the floor, this
room will be invitingly cool-looking. Or,

ThermOmetrIcal Experiments.

THE Providence Journal describes the
following interesting experiments made
in that city with an excellent glass mount
ed thermometer:
In the house with open windows, it
stood at 90.2o. Out of doors, in the
shade, at. 95o freely suspended in the
sun, six feet above the greensword, 99.5o.
In the same position, with wet bulb,
1893 with bulb covered with black
silk, 10000. When laid upon the grass
in the sun, it rose to 1919. Laid upon
white cloth, placed upon the grass,
1861 %, and when similarly placed upon
black silk, it indicated 113o.
The experiments with different colored
coverings show very conclusively the
utility of light -colored clothing for those
who are obliged to be exposed to the di-
rect range of the sun at high tempera-
lures; and the experiment with the wet
bulb shows as clearly the value of free
persiration in keeping down the temper
AZURE of the body, which, however, the
observer finds in his own person, not
withstanding the perspiration while max
ing these experiments, to have risen to
1908 . which is about two degrees above
the usual standard for cooler days The
average temperature of the healthy human
body throughout the year, in temperate
climates, is %. 40; while in tropical re
gions it is about one degree higher.

Grant Accepts.

If there is anything less surprising than
the nomination of Grant at Philadelphia,
it is Grants acceptance of the nomina
tioP. Everybody knew he would be NOM
mated, and nobody ever imagined he
would not accept. He has accepted, and
with an alacrity that is refreshing. 1t is
only five days since the Philadelphia
Convention adjourned; it is only one day
since he was notified of the honor confer
red upon him; and here is his letter of
acceptance before us. The letter of the
President of the Convention, informing
him of the action of that body, is dated
June 10; and his own letter in reply is
dated June 10, an example of promptness
that does credit to the Presidents mill
tary training.
The Presidents letter is the queerest
paper of the kind ever written. 1t is
more like the letter of a boy accepting a
gift than that of a grave statesman &C
cepting high and solemn trust In his
inaugural, three years ago, upon being in
vested with the office of President, he
showed his hardwood by declaring: "The
responsibilities of the position feel, but
accept them without fear" In his pres
ent letter he exhibits his eager desire for
the position by making an argument in
ence," he says, "may guide me in avoid
ing mistakes inevitable with novices in
all professions and occupations" Could
anything be more cool? 1t is n clumsy
apology for the many blunders of his own
ignorance, as a ''novice," and a gratuitous
argument against cntrusting the Prcsi-
Dental office to ohter Hnovices." He
seems to say: 81 have made mistakes, but
they were the mistakes of ignorance. i
now possess experience; ! understand the
Presidential business better than any
N @ m I En ~
more mistakes, you ought, therefore, to
re-elect me, rather than elect novice
who is as ignorant as / was three
years ago, and who will repeat
the mistakes which / made" General
Grant is said by his adhercnts to be a
modest man; but this is the language of a
monstrous cffrontery. If it is our duty
to re elect Grant because he understands
the Presidential duties, we must re-elect
him again four years hence; for the same
reason we must elect him again, four years
after that, and keep on Te-electing him
during the entire term of his natural life.
What is to become of us after he is dead
and gOne-what we are to do for an Tex
peri0nced" President after his lamcnted
death shall have deprived us of all sea
sOned Presidential timber, the modest
acccptor of the Philadelphia nomination
does not take the trouble to tell us.
When Grant shdH retire from the high
Office which he estcems himself so ad
mirably fitted to fill, he "hopes" to leave
to his successor "a country at peace with
in its own borders, at peace with outside
nations, with "A credit at home and abroad,
and without embarrassing questions Ia
threaten its future prosperity" What a
reflection these words are upon the actual
policy of the President,
/ Three years ago he promised 10 give
peace to the country; aweck ago he and his
partisans asked Congress for power to dc
clare martial law in all the States at his
] discretion. Is this the kind of peace

Henry Wilson's Nomination.

THE smiling Schuyler has smiled in
vain for Fortune, the tickle Goddess, has
withdrawn her smiles from him, and he
is left to mourn over the ingratitude of
Republicans. He may, however, find
consolation in the strong probability that
his successful rival for the Vice Presiden-
tial nomination will not reach the chair
which the gentleman from South Bend
now occupies.
The nomination of Wilson, rice ColfaX
shelved, is confession that the whole of
the old Republican national ticket would
be little more than the country could be
expected to stand Aneu man was want
ed. Grant could not be dislodged, within
the party, for the relationship between
him and the multitude of office-holders
and other wire-pullers was too peculiar
for that. So Colfax is thrown overheard,
and Wilson, of Massachusetts, substituted.
And, certainly, if greediness for the place
is any recommendation, the claim has
been emphatically recognized in the ac-
ton taken in the matter by the Conven-
ton, acting under the inspiration of
Grant, and by his unquestionable desire.
One of the first considerations occur
ring in our minds from, this nomination,
is its insulting character towards class
of our fellow citizens, whose proper re-
sentiment would alone be sufficient to kill
it. We refer to those of foreign-birth,
who, if Henry Wilson could have had his
way, would not be allowed to vote in this
country. He was the head and soul of
the Know Nothing organization, when ii
most greatly flourished, and although he
subsidized into back seat when he saw
that its days were numbered, he was more
completely and Extensively identified
with its distinctive dogma than almost
any other public man in the whole land.

He may beg on Bonded knees for the votes
which he tried so hard to keep out OF
existence. But he cannot blot out the
damning record 1t will stick to him,
and American citizens of to day, who did
not happen to draw the first breath on
American soil, will reward his bigoted
demagogism by voting against him en-

WE have invited attention to the Gcttys-
burg Katalysine Water, which is advertised
in another column. A contemporary thus de-
scribes the spring at Gettysburg from which
the water is bottled: "By an interesting
coincidence it appears on the spot around
which the battle commenced. 1t has the
taste of common water, and was used as
such by the wounded who fell in the vicinity.
1t was their testimony as to its reinyigorat-
ing and pain soothinS properties which in
duced the residents to try it on disease,
which led to the discovery of its wonderful
curative powers. Since then it is computed
that this spring has been visited by million
of people, while its waters have been carried
to every part of the world. Its healing effects
have attracted the attention of the newspa-
per and medical press, and promise to find an
enduring record among the marvellous Gu
rative and restorative phenomena Of the race.
The worst forms of Dyspepsia, of Rheuma-
tism, Gout, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Kidney,
Urinary, Heart and Nervous diseases, etc,
are said to yield to its power. 1t is also
claimed to be a solvent of stone."-Cora.

DURING the warm weather, among the ar

Vinegar takes prominent place. Prussing's

no superior in the market. His works are
the largest of the kind in the United States,
