TIMELY ADVICE TO POULTRY RAIsERs.
Always set your hens in the evening
rather than by daylight. They will be
more sure to stick to the nest afterward.
And for two or three days at first, be
careful that they are kept undisturbed.
On the 2lst day, when the chickens are
coming out, leave her to herself until all
are released, then wait twenty flour hours
yet for the little ones to get on their feet.
Apply little dry sulphur upon the down
and under each wing of the chicken rs
soon as they emerge from the nest. Com
mence feeding with soaked bread crumbs,
rice and hard boiled eggs. Follow this
up for q week; then cooked soft food and
broken wheat then cracked corn, chop
ped meat or scraps, and always plenty Of
green food until the grass starts.

Set the pan on q damp cloth for few
moments. then loosen by striking the
edge of the pan gently on the edge of a
table. Care should be taken to place
the hands safely under the cake to pre-
vent its falling to the floor. Delicate
cake should be handled lightly.

There is some talk Of piercing the Alps
by third tunnel, this time under Mont
st. Bernard. At the center of the tun-
mel it is proposed to excavate q shat t
to the surface through which visitors
could be drawn up to a hotel, and thus
obtain the view without fatigue. The
project for piercing q tunnel under the
Straits of Dover seem to be really APP
preaching a definite shape. 1t is pro-
posed to place it in the lower chalk. and
though the whole undertaking will prob
ably be the most stupendous of its kind
that the present generation will attempt,
it is not expected to be:very costly.

1t is shameful fact that every other
State in the Union has law preventing
the netting Of fish ii unnavigable streams.
With Kansas it is likewise apparent that
the fish in our various rivers lakes and
creeks are fast becoming depleted. In q
few more years the Legislature will be ap'
propriating thousands of dollars to re-
place these fish. Nor is this all: the
States that have good laws against net.
ting have all been stocked by the United
States Fish Commissioner with salmon,
black bass, trout, and other excellent
varieties, at nc expense to the States.
This would be the case here, and 80 soon
as we have such law we can have ouI
streams alive with excellent, toothsome
fish, affording rich sport besides. to men,
women and Wichita Eagle.

The Citadel of Gibraltar.

An English writer says: "The fortress
of Gibraltar is an idealized epic of the pic
t~uresqueness and poetry Of war that a
British Victor Hugo might rhapsodize up
on ~eternally. Great guns garnish the
crest, though the keenest eyes can hardly
detect them from beneath, embrasures
confOund themselves with the natural
clefts in the rock face, cannon Turk among
the gay flowers of the gardens, and heavy
batteries snakes in the grass arm the
strawberries of the Alameda and the es-
p%lanades. The views over Africa, across
to Algeciras, and upon the heights behind
San Rogue are unrivaled, but though the
eye can wander at will among views the
most enchanting, the body is cribbed and
confined, AMI you feel in the superb fort
ress as if you were only a prisoner at
large. for you o tire of the m%Onotonous
canter across the neck of sand that goes
by the name of the Neutral Ground and
if you try a long excursion and come home
belated after gun-fire, you find the gates
have been closed in your face"

: Love your neighbOr as YOURSELF
So the parson breaches;
That's one half the ~decalOgue-
So the prayer book teaches.
Half my duty | car do
With but little labor;
FOR with all my heart and soul
10 love my neighbor.
Mighty little credit, that,
To my if-denial;
Not to love her, though, migff be
Something of a trial.
Why, the rosy light that peeps
Through the glass above her
fingers round her lips; you see
Fen the sunbeams love her.
%, to make my merit more,
ri go beyond the letter;
Love my Deighbor as myself:
Yes, and ten times better.
For she's sweeter than the breath
Of the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding woods,
Ger the meadow grasses.
And I've preached the word, 1 know,
For it was my duty
To convert the stubborn heart
OF the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
For her sweet eyes w that she
Also loves her neighbor.

The United States ship of wal Cumber
land, that was sunk by the Merrimac in
Hampton Roads in 1862, contained a safe
full of valuables. This safe was raised a
few weeks ago, and is now on exhibition
at Washington. 1t is Old-fashioned and
square, about the size of a tea.chest. and
is of cast-iron. 1t was lying nits side, in
four feet of mud. There are several holes
in it, one of which is supposed to have
been made by the explosion of a torpedo.
Through this a shower of $1,000 in gold
coin fell when the safe wa raised. The
coin is still lying on the bottom, in a hum
dred feet of water. While the wOrkmen
were fastening chains around the safe they
stumbled over the petrified remains of a
man. standing erect in the mud. The safe,
which has not yet been opened, is sup
posed to contain about $4,000 in gold
coin and nearly that much has been spent
in previous efforts to recover it.

4 Fable.

Aristo tells a story of fairy who,
by some mysterious law of her ma
ture, Hsas condemned to appear at
certain seasons in the form of a foul
and poisonous snake. Those who
injured her during the period of her
disguise were ever exctudedfrom par
ticipation in the blessings she be-
slowed; but to those who, in spite of
her loathsome aspect, pitied and pro
tccted her.. she afterward revealed
herself in the beautiful and celestial
ionm which was natural to her, ac-
companied their steps, granted all
their wishes, filed their houses with
wcaIthsmade them happy in Above, and
victorious in war. y uscfulmoral
might be drawn from this little fable,
in favor of showing kindness and CT
Witty to the most degraded and IN
