Eramming Poultry.

the large consumption of sugar, syrup
and starchy food, that is common ameng
us, the necessities of the system for car
bonaceous food are fully, if not over
supplied. The use of excessively fat
food then is a waste of material, and 1t
probably induces some of the bilious
disorders which are so common. With
regard to poultry these remarks are es-
pecially applicable. The markets of the
cities are filed with fowls that are lined
with fat, useless addition that is q
loss to the consumer, and its production
has been at the expense of waste OF
food to the feeder Besides, housekeep-
ers complain of these over fat fowls,
that they are deficient in deiicacy OF
flavor, and are coarse and greasy, thus
losing in quality as well as III weight.
/ This matter is in the hands OF farmers
to remedy. They alone decide as to
what degree of fatness their fowls shall
be brought, or rather, not knowing ex-
actly how fat they are, they continue to
feed them much too long for their own
profit. A very thin fowl can be brought
into good condition for the table in
three weeks feeding. Generally fowl
from q grain-stubble or barn-yard at a
time when waste grain is scattered about
! literally, as well as at other times, when
the housewife undertakes the feeding OF
the poultry, is sufficiently fat for the
market, without extra feed. If poultry
is marketed at the age of two years,
and none older than that kept, tue quail
ity of the flesh will be all that can be
desired, without any examining of extra
feed, and the extra fat that is laid upon
an old fowl, is no addition to its good
ness, but rather adds to its bad qualities.
A good Judge of poultry looks to the
age of a fowl, and passes by the old
birds that have been crammed TO fit
them for market. t.-AgriculturiSt,

Cirenmstancial Evidence.

"There is always a terrible uncer-
tainty about circumstantial evidence
where human life depends upon its ac-
ceptance," says the Boston Post, in re-
ferring to Frank Wagner, arrested by
the police the other day, for the murder
of James McCann, at Jersey City.
Against him the evidence was apparent
ly strong to conclusiveness. He was
proved to have been near the scene of
the tragedy shortly a ter its commission;
he gave signs of great fear on being ar
rested he denied being out that night,
which was at once proved to be false
hood: he was known to have exhibited
pistol at saloon close by when the
murdered man was found and, finally,
a revolver found in his room was shown
to have chambers just fitted for bullets
of the size taken from McCann's head.
Now. however, man named Thomas
Brooks comes forward to say that
the deceased died by a pistol shot
from his hand, fired at him as he at
tempted to board his team. as he be-
lieved, for the purpose of robbery. As
he fred his horses started, and he could
not pull them up for half mile, and
had no idea that he had killed the man.
Reading in the papers of the discovery
of the dead body on the spot where he
fred. he delivered himself up and now
awaits trial. Wagner was, of course,
discharged, though he evidently owes
his liberty entirely to Brooks candor.

An Educated Chinaman's Ideas.

Hong Chin Foo, Chinese exile, who
has been educated in the United States,
has Iectured in Rochester. He said that,
of all the people the Chinese came in
contact with. the Americans were most
liked. While hundreds of young China
men were sent to this country to be
educated not one was ever sent to Eng
land or France. The people who came
to this country, as rule, did not prop
erly represent the Chinese nation Ihey
were low and ignorant, and the treat
ment they received here from the lower
classes did not give them any compli-
mentary or truthful character of the
American people. He explained the
reason why American missionaries la
bored under such great disadvantages
in China. He said that the Chinese had
been taught by Confucius TO regard
propriety of conduct as of the utmost
Importance. There was but one way

enough in the Connecticut RlvSr and
New Haven roads to be director in

interest in the Central, Hudson, and
Lake Shore, besides his stock in Ohio

roads. 1t was said of George Peabody

Five Thousand Starve to Death in One
District.
Rev. Dr. Clark of the American Board
of Foreign Missions has received let
ter from the Rev. J. o. Barrows, of
Cesarea, dated July 10, in which he
gives some thrilling details of the ter
rible famine now prevailing in that re-
gion. Mr.. Barrows writes
While a. Yodegat, which is eighty or
ninety miles north of us noticed raw
ages of the famine, which is very Sc
we're, and also bevoud and toward An
goria, many villages are entirely de
serted. Iu some only one or two, three
or four families, or parts of families,
remain. In the district of Sungarte,
which is beyond Yodegat, and in which
city there is a Pro- 'estant church, as
many as 5000 persons have died of star
vation, But the horrors of ti is faIaine
snbsisted al q, grass for Il weeks and then
died. Beggars have hocked to the
cities and there many of them have
died because they could not get a NOR
sci of bread. Old men, mothers with
babes at their breasts, young children,
boys and girls, are all half naked, beg
ging and crying. Dying bodies have
lain in the streets one, two, and even
three or four days, before burial. and
the dogs have feasted on them. Many
of our Protestant communities and
families have suffered greatly.
At Sungarte some of the brethren
have sold house, shop, household fur
niture, everything, and now must beg
or starve, and perhaps both. In one
village there was one Protestant family.
The father, mother and all the children
but two have died of starvation. In
the village of Ingierlie there was a
pleasant little Protestant community,
several of whom were members of the
church, with a preacher residing with
them, but they were poor. This
preacher went to Yodegat aQd prr-
chased flour, becoming responk bic for
the pay himself, and so kept a Ave six
families. Now, unless the preacher
can be paid, his creditors viii take
everything from him.

But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who Will draw
Around my humble couch and shed

Who'd watch life's last departing ray
In deep despair,
And sOothe my spirit on lis way
With holy prayer?
What nl0urner round my bier Will come,
In weeds of woe,
And follow me to my long home,

BY the pale moon impiant the rose
Upon my breast
And bid it cheer my dark repose,

One faithful heart would there be keeping

As if some gem lay shrined beneath

And light the tomb.

From halls Of glee
And Beauty's presence one would steal

No other boon.
But all ioneIier fate is mine.

To sleep through deaths long, dreamless night,

The Mysteries of COurtship am Man
riage.


1t is singular fact, says a Partisan
writer, that a man generally requires
very different qualities in a wife from
those he admires in sweetheart
While lover, he expected to see his
| future wife neatly and stylishly dressed
whenever he chose to call, either morn
ing or evening. and the girl busted her
| little brain all day in efforts TO please
| his tas te. If he left town for a few
days, he sent letters full of sweet moth
| ings that filed her soul with Joy. Then
came delightful rambles in the moon
| light, and hours spent in charming
tete-d-tetes after the family had retired,
when the two saw no one but each other
| in their world of love.
Alas that such bliss must ever be dis
| PEELED. Time brought preparations for
the approaching wedding for this de-
voted couple imagined that their happi-
ness could never be complete until the
hymeneal knot.was tied.
So the wedding and honeymoon were
soon over, and the parties Sc tied into
the matter-of-fact part of life. The
Since her schooldays she has spent her
time in studying the tastes of her lover,
which certainly seemed to incline to-
wards dress and sentimentality.
Now, alas she discovers that his
stomach demands food of the best
quality; and because she knows not
how to cater to his palate his love seems
to be waning. While he is vainly try
ing to appease hunger with sour bread
and burned steak, little does he appre-
ciate the sweet nonsense and honeyed
words which used to be so satisfying to
his sentimental nature.
Ah, men are so unreasonable They
expect to find every quality of excel
lence in the women they marry, vet
have not penetration sufficient to choose
the most worthy. To shine in society,
to exhibit every feminine accomplish
ment, both at home and abroad, are
duties which they require in the women
they marry /; and what have they to give
in return? It seems impossible that
these delicate attentions which charac-
terize the lover should be so withdrawn
by the husband
The other day when I heard neigh
Dor demanding his dinner In not The
most pleasant tone, thought, 4" Can il
be possible that he ever played the
ardent lover to that pale, detected wo-
man, whom he calls his wife ?X
The lover who could scar &ely tear
himself away from his sweetheart at
midnight is the same man now who
leaves his wife to spend her evenings as
best she may, while he passes the hours
in doubtful enjoyment.
All how foon men forget the solemn
VOW to love and cherish till death And
how many women regret that the charm
ing delusions of courtship were ever ex-
changed for the unpleasant realities of

8. Come Home; the Beans are Burning.

Last Sunday morning family living
in the suburbs of the city went to a
suburban church, leaving little gill
about seven years of age and boy
about twelve years of age in charge OF
the house. The church was situated
but short distance from the house.
The family were to have beans for dim
ner. and these were left in a vessel Oh
the stove to cook. The little girl while
PLAYING, suddenly began to smell the
odor of burnt beans, upon which she
rushed out of the house over into the
church where the pastor was gravely
and earnestly preaching the profount 4
word of God. The first person of the
family the little girl espied was young
lady cousin, and to her in loud voice
which startled the assemblage consider
>ably, she cried, "Come home, coms
home, the beans are burning" and inn
mediately rushed out again. The as
tonishment was great, and all the solem-
nity of the preacher as we'll as of the
congregation disappeared beneath q
broad smile at the Righteousness of the
matter. Louisville Co,,.ier-,Iou'7aot

speaker had observed the utmost free
dom in these regards, and Americans
taking their habits with them to China,
greatly shocked the sensibilities of that
nation. For instance, they would speak
to the ladies and hand things to them

eyes. Then they would hold converse
zion with people ef the lower classes,
which effectually debarred them from
intercourse with the upper circles of
