Crossing Poultry.

1t is not every farmer that can keep a
flock of pure.bred fowls, for the reason
they do not have the time or the inter
est in poultry as we breeders do. To
keep a well-tred stock of poultry, YOU
have to change your stock often, and to
keep them up near to the standard, it is
something of duty to do. | have had
a little experience within the last five
Years III breeding and crossing poultry of
different breeds, and find it viii very
much improve the stock for laying and
brooding The Brahmas and Cochins
are well scattered through the country
at present. Almost every farmer hos
got more or less of the Brahma or Cochin
blood in his stock Of poultry, and q great
many say "they like the Brahma or
Cochin, but they sit everlastingly; can
anyone break them upF etc | will tell
you how improve them. | have taken
the Partridge Cochin hen and Brown
Leshorn cock and crossed them. 1t cuts
them down some, but they are good,
fair-sized fowl, and lay more eggs and do
not care so much for sitting. They are
nearly the same color as Ill the pure
state Another cross is the Cochin and
Houdan cock. That makes good cross;
a large sowl which lays large egg and
does not sit much, anG are not bad to
break OF from sitting. The Light
Brahna and the White Leghorn would
make a good cross and keep your fowls
near the same color.
If YOU have the old.fashioned barn
yard fowl, it will pay you well TO get
some Of the best stocks Of improved
breeds to cross with them. II will in
crease them IN quality of stock and i'm
prove your flock in Looks. The great
trouble with farmers is they think poul-
try IS small affair ard do not pay much
attention to them; let them run from
one year TO another, until they are en-
tirelv run out, never exchanging the
stock. ! think there is nothing on q
farm tina. pays better than poultry tor
the expense they are TO the farmer.
They almost pick up tneir own living in
the Summer season. You say eggs are
not worth anything. they are low, o.
course, but the wife GETS good many
groceries with them.

Dueuing.

1t is one of the beauties OF orr rail-
way legislation that it is cheaper for
the companies when they do set about
having smash-uP, to kill passenger
rather than merely to main him. The
damages to be had against them for the
former luxury are limited by law to
$4,000, for the latter they are mulcted
in any sum the jury see fit to award. y
somewhat similar anomaly exists III the
French law against dueling for they
have law against dueling there, whose
chief intent, however, seems TO be to
render that popular pastime more en-
ticing. But 1t so happens that, under
the law, duels resulting in slight wounds
are dealt with by the Correctional Pc
lice, which nearly always convicts, while
duels resulting fatally are brought be
fore Jury which nearly always acquies.
1t thus becomes point of considerable
Importance to the intending duelist, If
of a robust and healthy habit, to select
particularly nasty weather and DAMP
, ground fol- his less vigorous antagonis'
That is no doubt the reason why NJ.
Gambetta elected 10 fight VI. Fourtou in
dense fog at thirty PAGES, tor which he
was so unIustly riliculed at the time.
The willy Dictator knew that with the
aid of the fog he had achance Of killing
Nj. Fourtou, while without it he might,
by some ;nconceivable accident, wing
him, and so have TO pay line. 1t Is to
remedy this paradoxical state of things
thst new law has been proposed hich
will punish all dueling by various de-
grees of fine and imprisonment, accord
ing to the result 1t is unlikely, how,
ever, that the Legislative Assembly will
venture to deprive the pleasure-loviag
Parsans of an amusement AT once so
harmless and fascinating. One Of the
odd features of the proposed law forbids
the survivor of fatal duel to venture,
for a given number of years, within a
certain number Of miles OF his victims
residence Possibly a more etiectual
preventive of the practice would be to
adopt the plan Of French Colonel of
Louis XV.'s time, who gave the officers
of a regiment notorious for fighting on
every frivolous pretext carte blanche,
with the proviso that both parties must
fight until one or both were killed. That
put an end toit.

Feminine Forces.

A girls mind develops very rapidly,
much more rapidly than an average
boys; and when an intelligent girl
shows any special ability in one direc-
ton, she improves in that especial direc-
ton so quickly that one is deceived into
thinking she has genius for it; she
herself becomes fred with ambition,
works hard-and many girls can work
in way that would shame some boys
builds castles in the air Of future fame
and greatness; gives up other interests
and hopes for the one lin, which, alas,
is so often disappointed Nineteen out
of every twenty-might we not say
ninety. out of every hundred 2
girls stop when you think they are going
to 80 something worth doing, and never
&c any further. They have talent,
hich education has brought OUT, and
deceived them into installing for genius.
There is, however, one very great adj
vantage in the present rage for classes
of all kinds, and in the facilities toi
study in all directions it gives many
girls an object in life, even if they do not
do any thing very great for the benefit OF
the nation In our grandmothers' and
great srandmothers' times girls did fancy
work, made all the antimacassars-
which, now THAI you can buy them for
6 3-4d or Is. Old, it is hardly worth
their while to do; or they used to stitch
their male relatives shirts and collars
exqulsitely -but that can be much bet
ter done in ii quarter the time by the
modern sewing-machine further back
still, their employment was to make
cowslip and gooseberry wine-to which,
however, most people nowadays prefer
shilling claret--or to spin the household
linen-which can in our time be bought,
ready for use, at less cost. There is
nothing left for girls but tennis and art.
A great many prefer the latter. went
the other afternoon to pay call, and
after a few minutes talk with the mis-
tress of the house, the door opened, and
the eldest girl, who is woul!-be artist,
entered. Her head was a wild tousle of
red fuzz, as if she had been in0ulging in
a hay fight she was dressed in a black
satin frock, with very short sleeves and
rather low neck, and over that she had
long pink cotton pinafore, such as
child might wear, decorated like an
ancient Briton, with patches Of various
colored paints, with which her hands,
too, were freely smeared. She seemed
to enjoy art. | do not think the world

How She Cooked His Rice.

Sakti kumara, the here Of curious
Hindustani story, preferred testing a
damsel's capability before tying the knot
Master of a prosperous and profitable
business, he came to the conclusion that
wife was wanted to complete his hap
piness, ana determined to go in search
of one. Adopting the guise of fortune
teller, and carrying some rice bound up
in his cloth, he started on his travels
Whenever he encountered a girl that
pleased his eve he asked her to cook his
rice for him. Some laughed at him,
some reviled him, none seemed inclined
to comply with his modest demand, and
it seemed as if he would have to take his
rice home uncooked. At last he reached
Swira, where he beheld beautiful girl,
who, instead of ridiculing or abusing the
strange traveller, relieved him os the rice,
and bade him be rested. Then the
kindly maiden set about preparing the
rice. First she stepped it III water, then
dried it in the sun, and that accom-
plished, rubbed the grains gently on the
ground, removing the avn without break
ing the rice. Calling her nurse, she dis
patched that worthy to sell the bran,
and with the proceeds purchase an
earthen boiler, two platters, ana some
fuel. Bv the time this commission was
executed the rice had been braved IN a
mortar, winnowed, and washed, and was
ready to he put in the boiler with five
times it's bulk OF water As soon as it
had swollen sufficiently, the boiler was
taken from the fire, the water cleared
Of the scum, and the boiler put back,
and the rice constantly stirred by the
pretty cook until she was satisfied it was
properly done. By turning the boiler
mouth downward she evtinguished the
fire, and, collecting the unconsumed fuel,
dispatched the old woman to convert it
into butter, curds, oil, and tamarinds.
This achieved, she told the enraptured
Sakti Kumara TO 60 and battle, and not
to omit rubbing himself with oil. HAY
ing ebeyed orders, the wife-seeker was
directed to seat himself upon a plank on
the well-swept floor, on which were a.
ready nd large plantain leaf and two
platters. His charming hostess then
brought him water in pcrfumed Jug,
and administered TWO spoonfuls of well
seasoned rice and ghee, preparatory to
serving up the remainder OF the rice
mixed with spices, curds, butter, AID
milk, of which Sakti kumara ate his
FILL and then INDUCED in n siesta, with
mind a. ease, knowing his quest was
ended As soon as he woke he asked
tie girl to become his wife, and she, be
ing willing, The necessary ceremony was
gone through without delay; and the
supposed fortune-teller took bis bride
home, to astonish her a the Lord Of
Burlegh astonished hls rus;i, ,oye; but

The Dead Letter Office.

The forthcoming report Of the Third
Assistant Postmaster General Will show
that 3,5j3,65l letters and packages
were received at the dead letter office
during the fiscal year ended june 50, Of
which, in round numbers, 100000
were sent thither from the local post
Offices because unclaimed, 200, 600 We're
held for postage, SOP, 900 We're misdi-
rected, 100000 Lore fictitious addresses,
and over 5000 Were not addressed at
all. The receipts at the dead letter
office also included about 5000 letters
returned from hotels, the persons adj
dressed having left fer other places, and
$4,000 letters and packages returned
from foreign countries. The great mass
of the total number OF letters and pack
ages contained nothing of value, and
over : 100000 Of this description We're
DESTROYED, the senders not being found.
OF the remainder, y, 91f contained
drafts, checks, notes, etc, OF the face
value Of 81 ,526,2l7, and 2G.964 con

Most of the property has been returned
TO the owners. \ small amount, how
ever. is still i'll the custody OF tie &c
partment. Some 100000 letters were
opened and returned to the writers,
and $4,000 We're returned without
opening, in consequence of tie names or
addresses of the senders appearing on
the envelopes \ curious fact, deyel-
oped by comparison of the figures
with the similar statistics of former
years, is that the percentage Of undl-
rected, instructed and unstamped Letters
are exactly the same each year, these
evidences of carelessness or ignorance
keeping quite even pace with the annu-
ally increasing amount of general postal
business. Postmaster General May

The darkness falls the wind Is hi9h.
Dense black clouds fill the western sky:
The storm will soon begin;
The thunders roar, the Hehtnings fash,
hear the great round rain drops dash
Are all the children in!
They're coming softly TO my side;
Their forms within my arms hide
No other arms are sure;s
Inc storm may rage with fury wild,
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near
They'll go from this warm shelter here
Out in the worlds wild din;
Tho rain viii fall, the cold winds blow,
III sit alone ard long TO know
Are all the children in?
Will they have shelter then secure,
Where hearts are waiting strong and s1re
And love is true when triedf
Or, viii they find broken reed,
When strength of heart they so much need.
To help them brave the tides
God4nows it all His will il best,
HI shield them now and yield the rest
In His most righteous hand;
Sometlmes souls he loves are riven
BY temPests wild, and thus are driven
Nearer the better land.
