KEEPING POULTRY IN ORCHARDS
This is matter that should be
practiced when possible. We be-
lieve that if farmers and fruit raisers
knew the benefit arising from such
management, they would at once
adopt it. Last fall we visited nm
orchard in which fowls were kept,
the owner of which told us that
before the fowls were confined in it,
the trees made little or no growth,
and only a corresponding amount of
fruit was obtained. But what Il
change was evident now. The grass
was kept down, the weeds killed and
the trees presented IN appearance
OF thrift, which the most enthusias--
tic horticulturist could not but
admire and envy. The growth of
the trees was most vigorous, and the
foliage remarkably luxuriant. Tho
fruit was abundant, of large size
and free from worms and other
imperfections. This excellence was
accounted for by the proprietor,
who remarked that the "hens ate oil
the worms and curculio in their
reach, even the canker worm" He
found less trouble with their roost
ing in trees than he expected, and
that picket fence six fcot high
kept them within bounds. His
orchard was divided into three
sections, and the fowls wero
changed from one to another, as
the condition of the fowls or tho
orchard section seemed to require.

ORIGIN OF A CELEBRATED DISPATCH.
Great men will trip sometimes !;
and the Rev. Joseph Cook, who
knows everything, is no exception.
In O recent lecture he told how,
when Napoleon had reduce Warsaw
to extremities, he telegraphed to
Paris dispatch couched in tho
memorable words "Order Rcigns in
Warsaw" The New York World,
10 pointing out that they had no
telegraph in Russia in those days,
thus explains how "the memorable
words" of this dispatch had thoir
origin, and perhaps the Worlds
history is as good as Mr.. Cooks:
"The facts of the case really are
that the famous dispatch Order
sReigns in Warsaw was sent by
telephone to Athens by the Greek
General Phooion immediately after
the battle Of Marathon, whom, the
earth trembling under them as they
fought, the Acb@ans reeled back,
abafded and bleeding, upon the
;YAcropolis where, pallid and white,
cold Pallas stood shaking her
sAorgon locks, while the scales of
Justice hung lifeleas in her hands,
helpless to strike a blow. Owing
'to the fact that Phocion's wife was
then taking tea at Pliny's villa, the
dispatch did not reach her at once,
Int bad to be sent around by q
ssSS agAr-boy. Milton and Michael
were coming down the

AN INDEPENDENT FARMER.

Let sailors sing Of the mighty deep,
Let soldiers praise thoir armour,
But in my heart this toast I'll keep
The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose in robe Of groom
Unfolds its crimson lining,
Around his cottage porch is seen
The honey-suckle climbing.
When banks of bloom their sweetness
yield
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field
When tho skies arc soft and sunny.
Tho blackbird clucks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind i,s bows
Tho homo he lovos 50 dearly.
The gray old barn doors they unfold
His ample store in measure,
More rich in heaps Of h onrdcd gold,
blessed, precious treasure.
While yonder in the porch thore stands
His wife, the lovely charmcr--
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The Independent Farmer.
To him the spring comes dancingly,
10 him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles with yellow ray,
With household angels round him.
He trusts to God md loves his wife,
Nor grief nor i'll may harm her,
He's natures noblcman in life
The Independent Farmer.

reasonable presumption is that the former is us

from Peru were brought to the county house who
showed the characteristics spoken Of in a marked

The opening of Wednesday last at Mrs. Grcgg's
millinery rooms was II success in every way. The
ladies made an extra effort to be out and through
Wednesday and Thursday they filled the rooms.
All expressed themselves as highly pleased with
the display of goods and many went quite into
ecstacies over them. The goods are really very
beautiful the great number of elegantly trimmed
hats being chiefly noticeable, many OF which are
imported goods from Paris and st. Petersburg.

We had contemplated this week II general re-
6ume of the great stock at atGILLENs, but Well,
we found the house busy yesterday still unpack-
ing, and while we had not the assurance to make
any Que take leisure TO show lis through we
accepted the assurance that the opening was Il
great success-much greater than anticipated,
probably owing to the remarkable reductions in
prices all around-at least 20 per cent.
Perhaps the trade in CLoAKs is more decidedly
big than in any other one line. We have forgot
ten how many they told us they sold on Thurs
day but it was unusually large ut any rate on
that day they received three new eases OF cloaks
to replcnish few days raid on the stock, which
seems TO settle the question that GILLEN is in the
cloak trade The stock of cloaking beavers is
also attracting much attention among the ladies,
as well as the superb stock of cloaking and trim
ming vclvets.
We are at loss to characterize the DRESS
GOODS stock--it should be seen.
The great decline in prices is specially marked
in the line of blankets of which a complete stock
is in store They are selling good all-wool
blanket at $50, for example.
or course the grocery and boot and shoe de-
partments are full, and rs usual no back seat will
be taken by the house on prices. To get best
value for least money, call on GILLEN.

Mr.. John Gross, Ottawa's book binder always on
the lookout for new improvements in his business,
has Just received new idea for use chiefly in the
binding of music. It consists first Of tasty illu-
minated page for contents, which adds much to
the beauty of the book The music in the book
may be PACED with pencil or by the binder, and
by the use Of this page the contents may be
found at Il glance. Another unique idea is gilt
Illuminated piece for the owners name to be
used on the side Of the book. Since it has round
corners, it cannot become ragged and will last
till the volume is worn out These two features
add much to bound volume Of music and cost
nothing extra. In all grades of binding or the
manufacture Of blank books, Mr.. e. is equally
up to the times and gives the best satisfaction in
work or prices

a yexed Question Answered.

''What shall do to get rid of all this ilcSh"'
is the question that has been asked again and
again Of physicians without receiving an lntelll,
gent reply Several Of our popular lecturers and
writers have attempted to answer it, but the
force Of their disquistions can be summed up in
a single sentence: BE content you are not lean,
and starve yourself,-a course of treatment that
will never cure obesity, rs thousands who havc
tried it can attest. Pharmaceutical science has
given rational answer to this question in Allan's
