To TELL THE AGES OF FOwLs.-The
following rules for arriving at the ages
of poultry are said to be as nearly cor
rect as it possible to make them:
If hens spur is hard and the scales
on her legs rough, she is old, whether
you see her head or not, but her head
will corroborate your observation. If
the under bills so stiff that you cannot
bend it down, and the comb thick and
rough, leave her, no matter how fat and
plump, for some one less particular. A
young hen, has only the rudiments of
spurs; the scales on the legs are smooth,
glossy and fresh colored, whatever the
color may be; the claws tender and
short: the nails sharp, the under bill
soft, and the comb thin and smooth.
| An old hen turkey has rough scales
on the legs, callosities on the soles of the
feet, and long, strong claws; a young
one the reverse of all these marks
When the feathers are on, the old tur-
key cock has a long tuft or beard a
young one but sprouting one; and
when they are off, the smooth scales on
the legs decide the point, beside the diff
ference in the size of the wattles of the
neck and in the elastic shoot upon the
| nose.
An OLD goose. When awe, IS known
by the rough legs, the strength of the
wings, particularly at the quilts, the
thickness and strength of the bill, and
the fineness of the feathers and when
plucked, by the legs, the tenderness of
the skin under the wings, by the quilts
and the bill, and the coarseness OF the
skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
mn hu1ff hnra Il, thu difforov, No hot n
duckling's bill is much longer in pro-
portion to the breadth of the head than
the old ducks.
A young pigeon is discovered by its
color, smooth scales, tender collapsed
feet, and the yellow long down inter-
spersed among its feathers A pigeon
that can fly has always red-colored legs
and no down, and is then too old for use
as SQUAD.

ly dignity to the mind.
Oh, it is daily seeing myself debtor
to Sovereign grace, and seeing thy hond
cancelled on the cross, where thy debt,

Lord, pardon what I have been !;

Lippincott's Magazine for February con.
taius number of articles of special interest
and merit. "With the Russians in Bulgaria
is the first OF a series of papers, by Edward
King. describing the seat of war. the Russian
army and its leaders, and the Bulgarian peo-
pie from personal observation, with iliustra>
lions from original drawings by an artist of
the London Graphic. Alfred T. Bacon's ac-
count of Syracuse, which forms the conclud-
ing paper of his Month in Sicily" and Pro-
lessor James \. Harrison's glimpses of Swee-
den" are equally vivid and instructive, and
are copiously illustrated. Hunting in France
by l.. Leieune, shows knowledge of the coun-
try and its sports such as no foreigner can
possess, and contains many graphic descrip-
tions and amusing anecdotes. Simpler. but
not less striking is "a "Reminiscences of the
First Iron Clad Fight" by an officer on board
the ill>fated Congress, whose account of one
of themost dramatic incidents of modern war
fare is valuable contribution TO the history
of our civil war. "Thirty>five years of sound,
ings" is the punning title of paper by deaf
contributor, who has made close study of
his infrmity, and who relates his experiences
in way that must engage the sympathy of all
his readers. There are several capital stories
in the number and the Gossip" is fresh and
entertaining.

No Coin-Dodger Here.

To the Editor:
The contract between the Govern.
ment and the bondholders requires
and permits the latter to be paid in
coin. Cannot the Government under
this contract insist on payment in coin
regardless of the law defining what is
lawful money? Ordinarily contracts
are drawn with payment to be made
in lawful money of the United States
If make contract in which for
certain bonds engage to give wheat
| can compel the other party to take
the wheat, regardless of the law that
only lawful money of the United
States is legal tender So if a con-
tract is drawn that for certain bonds
the United States will give coin, can
it not compel the taking of coin re.
CARELESS of what is legal tender ? Coin
means dollars in gold or silver and
the fractional and multiple pieces
thereof, and sovereigns, francs, shill-
ings, etc.. made in other countries
are all coins, and if the Government
should offer to pay in any or all of
them at their current valae, would it
not be complying with the condition
OF the contract in a manner as bind.
ing as if were paying my contract
with wheat at the market price? II
seems to me the term coin was put in
to the contracts expressly to waive
the question OF lawful money! and if
so, whatever is a recognized coin,
rendered at its current value, should
satisfy the condition in the contract.

A BANKER recently bought and
brought to this county 10000 silver
dollars for which he paid in green
backs about $4,000. Many farmers
in this county took their wheat and
pork to his market. They received
in payment "tickets" on his bank and
had them cashed in his silver. They
received no higher prices than if paid
in greenbacks. Thus the farmers of
Grant County are out about 500 in
that one little bank transaction.
When they in turn buy goods that are
brought from the East they have to
pay for them enough to cover their
cost and profits in grcenbacks and
gold. Very well great many farm
ers in Grant County are asking that
this thing go on without limit and
that it be forced upon them by law.
