A Guinea is Scarce Follower

Than the complexion of person becomes
who omits to regulate his liver when that
important gland grows neglectful of its Sc
cretive function. Moreover, the stomach
under such circumstances becomes disorder
ed, the bowels are CONSTRUCTED pains in the
side and between the shoulder blades are
felt, the head aches, and the nervous system
shares in the general arrangement. This
confederation of evils is, however, easily re-
mediable with that matchless regulating
tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which in
sures the secretion and flow of healthy bile,
acts gently but effectually upon the bowels,
and removes every symptom of nervous or
digestive trouble. The result is that renewed
tone is given to the entire system; the sal
low, haggard appearance CT the face to
which biliousness gives rise is superseded by
the glow of health, and the frame gains in
substance as well AS vigor

CURE FOR BARBAROUs HUsBANDs.-A
woman, who had suffered barbarous beat
ings from her husband, went to a noted
wise man of the village to inquire how
she might cure these paroxysms of vio-
lence. The soothsayer heard her com
plant; and after pronouncing some hard
words and used various gesticulations
while he filled phial with mysterious
mixture, desired her whenever her hus-
band was in passion, to take a mouth
full of the liquor and keep it in her mouth
for five minutes. The woman, quite
overjoyed at so simple a remedy, strictly
followed the counsel which was given
her, and escaped the usual chastsement.
The contents of the bottle being at last
expended, she returned to the wise man,
and anxiously begged to have fresh
supply of the same liquid. "You foolish
woman" said the soothsayer, "there was
nothing in the bottle but brown sugar
and water When your husband is in a
passion hold your tongue, and, my life
for it, he will not lay a finger upon you

A TEXAS newspaper informs its read
ers what kind of people they want in
that State. They have twice too many
doctors, and nine too many lawyers.
In fact, they propose to "swap OFF, law
yers at the rate of forty lawyers for one
Northern farmer. They would like a
few more good preachers, and a great
many less poor ones. But the great
want is farmers; ''five million good farm
ers" will receive welcome within the

rising, hard working, sober, good-manag-
ing men,"

Turkey Raising.

Inc F0uttTy journal mas tnlS ADVICE
on this subject:
"The great and only secret in raising
turkeys is to keep them dry and warm.
They must, at the same time, have such
grass, bugs, flies and gravel as they
would pick up if running at large.
Make pen of any old boards, not less
than two and one-half feet high (more
would be better and 50 tight that the
chicks cannot get out through it, in cor
ner of the meadow, orchard, calf-pasture
or house-y yard. Sixteen feet square will
be large enough for brood of ten or
fifteen, and half dozen such broods
may be kept in a place sixteen feet wide
and forty or fifty feet long. Let the
chicks remain in the nest twelve to
twenty four hours after they are Matched,
then put them in the pen towards even
ing, after the heat of the sun has passed,
and long enough before evening to per-
nit them to explore their new quarters
and get tired before dark. A little be-
fore 'roosting time" give them liberal
feed of bread soaked in milk, and hard
boiled eggs chopped fine, throwing in
some coarse grain at the same time for
tuC Olu <AitCA olSpOSAuS VI tulS
they will go quietly to roost under the
old one, and remain there until daylight.
$50 far so good" but now comes the
point at which most of the failures are
made. The turkey is emphatically an
1early bird" and wanderer, and before
you are aware of it, the hen will hop over
low fence, and try to coax the chicks
after her for their breakfast. In order
to prevent this, you must get up in the
morning, and have ready for both hen
and chicks bountiful feed, after par
taking of which the hen will again cover
the little ones, and keep them warm un-
til after the dew is gone. Feed them at
least four times day for a few days,
after which three times will be sufficient /;
supply them with fresh water daily; let
them remain in this pen until they are
old enough to get out themselves, and if
you do not raise more than twice five
out of fifteen hatched," you will have
worse success than l have. The hen
will fly out often during the day, and
use every effort to get the chicks to fol-
low her, bat finding they do not come
to her, she will return to them. An old
door, or bit of wide board, leaned up
against one side of the pen, and fastened
so that it cannot fall down and kill any
of them, will afford shelter from the
sun by day, and dew by night.

The Chinese Language.

The Chinese language is, perhaps, the
most difficult of mastery among the Ian
guages of men. 1t is the most remarkable
specimen of an isolating or monosyllabic
language, which has been the instrument
of a respectable civilization and the re-
pository of abundant literature. Each
word is a monosyllable, and expresses a
complete idea. The written language is
entirely different from the spoken. The
characters represent not the sounds, but
the ideas, and so, of course, must be as
numerous. The whole number has been
stated as high as $4,000, though it is
probable that good knowledge of even
10000 would enable one to read any
ordinary Chinese book, and to write in
teligibly on any subject. But to make
the individual and familiar acquaintance
of even this number of unrelated par
ticles in this great literary sandheap is
task truly prodigious.
Their literature is voluminous to a for
midable degree. A collection of the
Chinese classics, with commentaries and
schola, begun by recent emperor, is
said to contain 10000 volumes. The
printed catalogue of the same emperor's
library consist of 1923 volumes of 300
pages each, and is represented as most
creditable monument of literary genius
and taste.
OF course, the great books of their
literature, the center and germ of the
whole, are the five ante Confucian, called,
in order, the Book of Changes, of Records,
of Odes, of Rites, and Annals of Spring
and Autumn. OF these the third, the
Book of Odes, is regarded as the most an
cient; going back, it is believed, to the
eleventh century before Christ. Thus the
three great collections of ancient hymns
the Hebrew hymns by David, the Vedic
hymns of the Hindus, and the Chinese
Book of Odes, have substantially the same
date, and are outranked by nothing in
literature save certain Hebrew historical
books. 1t is also comforting to know
that the choice specimens of Chinese wit
and sentiment which are scattered over
every tea chest and other article of Chi
nese manufacture, and which, of course,
everybody has read with exquisite de-
light, are taken from the same ancient
Book of Odes.-Dr. Hemenpay, in CHS
tian Ado0cate.

FEEDING FowLs.-In France, where
poultry breeding, feeding and fattening
has been reduced to science, they feed
very little whole grain. A very popular
feed is one half bran and one-half buck
wheat, barley, or oatmeal, made into a
stiff paste, and fed to old and young
alike. twice day. They claim that
this feed is less expensive and promotes
laying. Whole grain, however, will pro-
duce fat. when fed abundantly, but it
also produces disease, by impairing di-
gestion. Buckwheat is regarded as the
great egg-laying stimulant. A system
of "liquid examining" is practiced by
many who follow fattening fowls as a
trade. Barley and milk, mixed, is
crammed into the fowls by means of a
funnel. 1t is said that one person can
cram go fowls per hour, and the fatten-
ing process only lasts two or three weeks.
At three markets named, upwards of
5000, 900 head of fat poultry are sold an
nually, all fattened by this process.

EFFECTS OF SALT ON WHEAT.-In an
interesting series of experiments recently
made on the farm of the Royal Agricul
tural Society of England the manurial
value of salt was Enthusiastically indi-
Gated. An acre of wheat dressed with
three hundred pounds of common salt
yielded thirty-nine bushels of grain,
with proportionate amount of straw,
while an adjoining acre, left unmanured,
produced only twenty-nine bushels per
acre The entire cost of the crop is
not stated, but this experiment shows
that the additional ten bushels resulting
from the salt were produced at q cost of
thirty cents each.
In another case piece of ground in
tended for wheat was plOwed the pre-
ceding fall, and again in May, when it
was sowed with salt, and afterwards
plowed before seeding. On the 1st and
I'd of September wheat was sown at
the rate Of two bushels to the acre. The
crop, when harvested, yielded, according
to the estimate of the owner, Mr.. John
Parke, not less than forty bushels of
grain to the acre, with luxuriant
growth of straw. From these and
many similar cases the inference seems
to be that salt is a specific for the wheat
crop, imparting solidity to the grain and
firmneSs to the straw.

A Chance for Yankee Doodle,

IT is with feelings of pride that an
American should read of the gorgeous
metamOrphoses which our young people
who go abroad to study music undergo.
To see plain Miss Rice, after six
months in Italy, change her cereal sur
name for that of Nine. Ricci, and thus
show foreigners what an American girl
can do, is supremely satisfying to our
national pride. Blanche Tucker, who
need not have been ashamed of hel
name, for she is of no kin to that name
sake who sang for his supper, now ap.
pears in her home paper as Blanche
Rosavella, while Mary Trimble, daugh.
ter of our late Consul at Milan, is ut.

Amore. Go abroad, dear old Yankee
Doodle, and change your plebeian name
for that resplendent one of Juan X.

Times Rsvenges.

Mr.. John Welsh is stated to be a
lineal descendant OF Rev. John Welsh,
of Scotland, who married daughter of
John Knox. Mr.. Welsh was con-
demned to death in the year 1905 for at
tending the session of the General As
sembly of Scotland and promoting the
same, contrary to the desire of King
James. The sentence was commuted
to Punishment from Great Britain.
After fourteen years, by great solicita-
tions, he obtained permission to return,
but only to London. His wife subse-
quently sought an interview with the
King and begged permission for her
husband to return to Scotland; but
King James, with coarse oaths, refused
unless she would persuade her husband
to submit to the Bishops. "Please,
your Majesty" replied the heroic mat
ron, lifting up her apron and holding it
forth as if in the act of receiving her
husbands decollated and falling head,
~ would rather KEEP (receive) his head
there! The King would not allow
Welsh to preach until just before his
(Welsh's) death. He was then able to
preach but once, and died in two hours
after returning from the meeting to his
chamber. The houseO of Stuart has long
been banished from the throne of Great
Britain, and descendant of John
Welsh is the appointed Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Court of st. James. -
