Raising Turkeys.

First, find the turkeys nest as soon
as possible and take the eggs out every
night. For nest eggs we always use
hens eggs. If the turkey eggs are left
out they get chilled and do not hatch
good. Put the eggs in a box of bran.
Set them where they will keep warm,
and turn them over every other day at
least.
If your turkeys stray far from the
house to make nests, when they go to
sitting bring them up near the house.
If you have ne turkey house, make
some coops just large enough for one to
sit in near the house, and set them.
Watch them when they come off to eat,
or they will return to the old nest, and
thereby the eggs will get chilled.
/ do not think it good plan to make
turkeys lay the second time. We al.
ways set them as soon as possible, so as
to have early turkeys, believing thatwe
can make more money on fifty good
early ones than we can on one hundred
! little ones.
After the little turkeys are Matched,
put them out. Give them diet OF
corn bread and hard-boiled eggs and
old. Sour milk curdled is also very
good for them. After they are two
weeks old feed them only bread until
they are large enough to eat corn. Shut
them up every night in coop until
they are large enough to fly up to roost.
When they are small keep them in of a
morning until the dew gets off.
Almost every time our turkeys are
left out, the dogs, or something else,
! kill about half of them.

The Son of an Admiral Marries Bal.
let-Girl.

Washington July 81 Cor Chicago Times.l
Certain fashionable circles of Wash
ington are just now agitated by the mar
riage of a young man of high social
position to one of the ballet-girls of the
Theatre Comique. The young man al
luded TO is Prestly J. jenkins, son of
Admiral jenkins, of the navy. He had
been frequent visitor at the Theater
Comique, and while witnessing the
mazes of the bewildering can-can, be-
came interested III one of the dancers
who nightly tread the boards at that
place. She is blonde, about ten years
the senior of the young man, and has
been on the stage and in the variety
business for some time. She is about
the medium height, and is considered
good looking. She bears the name of
o Frank Christie" and has recently
taken the part of "Frailty" in the can
visits of young Jenkins to the theater
became more frequent, and he sought
his charmer behind the scenes, and at
the close of the performance was her
constant companion. On Tuesday of
this week he took out license for mar
riage, and on the same evening, at st.
johns church, the assistant rector Off
ciating. he took her for better or worse.
Yesterday there was ripple of ex-
element in west end quarters, which
increased before night, and the friends
of the young man, becoming satisfied of
the truth of the rIlmor of marriage, at
once telegraphed to the Admiral at New
port, II. /. The young man, however,
did not allow this to Interfere with his
romance. and last night he occupied a
prominent seat at the Theater Comique,
and appeared to greatly enjoy the evo-
lutions of his bride. At the conclusion
of the performance he left the theater
for the Continental hotel, where they
are at present domiciled, The bride
appeared tonight in the "Can-can be-
fore packed house.

About Comets.

Professor Chapman says that a comet
is merely a collection of small particles
of matter, about the size of meteorites.
from an ounce TO a pound in weight.
His reason for this statement is that
you can see the stars through the mat
ter radiating from the comet, even close
to the nucleus. He even thinks you
might see the star through the nucleus,
only that the light of the nucleus de-
stroys it. 1t would be curious to OBJ
serve an enormous cobble stone pave
ment million miles long hung up in
the sky ever so high, and science level
ing the spctroscope on the singular phe-
nomenon. The tail of the comet, ac-
cording to the Professor, is little more
than this, and perhaps he is right, for
is there not "a pathway of light through
the sky ?" as the poets express it,
The one of 1911 was esteemed by as
tronomers as most magnificent comet.
Its nucleus was 400 and its head 10, 600
miles IN diameter. It's tail was a
beautiful fan shape, extending 10, 000,-
600 miles. 1t is right to say that among
the numerous comets observed up to the
present time, either with the naked eye
or by means of telescopes, the majority
are distinguished by nebulosity sur
rounding the nucleus, and great num-
Der, especially of the most brilliant
ones, possess luminous train or tail.
The diversity of aspect will perhaps
some day enable astronomers to class
comets into genera, species and varle-
ties, and will doubtless facilitate the
perfection of the theory of phenomena
which these bodies present, and which
is still obscure, According to Prof.
Spoor, of Rochester, comets are con-
trolled by the same specific law which
govern planets of the solar system.
When in their orbits thousands of MILL
ons of miles away from the sun they
move very slow in the arc of an elllpse
almost unreasonable. The sun being
positive and they deeply negative, it be-
gins to exert a controlling influence
over them as that attraction increases
continually in proportion as the squares
of the distance decrease they move
swifter and swifter until as they APP
proach the sun they sometimes fly more
than 500, 900 per hour.
At their perihelion they are very near
the sun, and become highly positive,
and hence are propelled back again into
fields of space with the same lightning
speed they were attracted toward the
great fountain of all motion. The reason
comets pass out of sight SO rapidly after
passing their perihelion is because they
move around the sun in orbits much
more elongated than that of the earth,
and when they cross the plane of the
orbit of the earth on their fight to
regions of space they are then moving
in one direction and the earth in anoth
er, and as the earth moves at the rate
of 60, 600 miles an hour and the comets
at the rate of 100000 miles an hour,
they seem to move much faster, as they
soon disappear, while their motion is
slower and slower till they arrive at
their aphelion point.

THAT GREENHoRN.-He was a very in
nocent-lookins man, and had evidently
come from somewhere in the bluegrass
region He wore blue jeans, very seedy
and threadbare about the seams, and
heavy cowhide boots, redolent of the
stable-yard. And so it came about that
when he dropped into leading billiard
room in Evansville he found no great
difficulty in inducing one of the sharps
who frequented the place to give him
small odds in a game of French carom.
Then some of the bystanders wanted to
bet, and the stranger, not to be out
done in the display of genuine spirit
of accommodation, took all the wagers
that were offered as the game pro-
crossed, and when they had mounted to
the respectable figure of some $500 he
turned in and ran out the game.

When TO Paint Your House.

The Tcchnologist, a good authority,
states that paint applied to the exterior
OF buildint $ in autumn or winter will
endure twice as long as when applied
in early summer or in hot weather. In
the former it dries slowly and becomes
har' like glazed surface, not easily af-
focued afterward 10y the weather, or
worn off by the beating of storms. But
in very hot weather the oil in the paint
soaks into the wood at once, as in a
sponge, leaving the lead nearly dry and
ready to crumble off. This last diff
Guilty, however, might in a measure be
guarded against, though at an increased
expense, by first going over the surface
with raw oil. Furthermore, by paint
ing in cold weather you escape the an
noyance of small flies, which invariably
collect during the warm season on fresh
paint.

A. T. Stewards "Proyisions. -

4 correspondent says The Bible
speaks of the grave as the long home,
and most of our. old men not only have
arranged their places of sepulture, but
have already visited the grave as mourn
ers for the objects of their love. Stew
art, however, is a very remarkable ex-
ception. He has reached seventy-five
without attending a funeral in which he
was interested, except in the way of
friendship. Can any other man of this
age make similar statement The
reason may be given in the fact that A.
T. Stewart left his kindred in the old
country and has never had any children
to lose. while his wife, with whom he
haa lived in very happy union for near
~ half century, is still alive. Stewart
has lost some valued friends, one of
whom was the late John Kellum, so dis
tinguished in his day as an architect,
and Co whom Stewart confded all his
plans for building. 1t is probable that
Stewart in his will has made explicit
directions concerning his funeral, Tor to
ON this would be out of keeping with
his character. He is one of the most
far-sighted of mankind, and this is
shown by the fact that to provide
against all the contingencies of the fut-
ure and the risks of trade he insures
his life for $4,000. This will give his
wife an income if all the rest of the
princely wealth should dissolve and,
like the unsubstantial pageant faded,
leave not rack behind. ,"

Now, have something TO suggest to

instructions to the tradesman. A week
later, on the anniversary of his birth
day, the millionaire pointed out with
pride to his guests, in the middle of his
conservatory, the bust of his grand
father, from whose mouth rose grace
fully jet of limpid water, falling into
a marble basin, in which some fine gold
and silver fish disported themselves.

A LEFT HAND writer in the Scientific
american gives some reasons why it is
better to write as he does. The hand is
never in the way of vision. The pen
point is always in plain sight, and so is
the paper to be written on. There is,
consequently, no inducement to stoop
forward or to turn the head so as to
throw the eye out of focus. 1t is com
mon fault of those who write much that
the left eye has shorter range than the
right. 1t is overworked, and compelled
to adapt itself to nearer vision. In
writing with the left hand these evils
are avoided. An upright posture is
the easiest, and the eyes are equally
distant from the paper.

two canaries. He was taken out ter

of his senses, but the poor animals were
all dead He declared, on being con-

not ceased to love him when misery and
want became his portion. He died in
few hours after being rescued from
