Necessity Of Bulk in Diet.

The bodily tissues, says the American
Poultry Yard, belongs to the norma

tines-and discharged as useless, and
worse than useless, matter And We
learn from these facts that supplying
mere aliment Of the most condensed
and nOurishing sort, and in quantities
just sufficient to support health, is not
the true way to keep all their bodily
functions in their best condition. II
is just as necessary that the waste por-
tions of food should be supplied that
the directly life-sustaining cOnstitu-
ents should not be wanting. Hence,
we urge upon poultry keepers the ne
cessity of giving something which, by
its mere bulk, may help to fill the almost
Unsuitable crop and the ever grinding
gizzard of the fowl, and while elimina-
ting the needed share for general Sus-
tenance, shall also furnish the waste
matter, which is equally important to
the well-being of the flock. For this
purpose any coarse, bulky article, such
as potatoes, chopped apples, turnips,
cabbage, or in winter hay or rowen,
will answer, and their use will make
fewer demands on the meal barrel and
other expensive materials needed for
the support Of the poultry.

JintlemanlY Ladies'.

A contemporary appreciates the fol

grammar. So do We;
In a railroad car the seats were all
full except one, which was occupied
by a pleasant looking lrishman; and at
one of the stations a couple of evident
ly well-bred and intelligent young la,
dies came in to procure seats. Seeing
none vacant, they were about to 60 in
to the next car, when Patrick arose
hastily and offered them his seat with
evident pleasure.
"liut you will have no seat for your
SELF" responded one Of the young aides,
with a smile, hesitating, with true po-
likeness, to accept it.
"Niver mind that! said the gallant

to New York, any time for a smile from

And he retired hastily into the next
car, amid the cheers of his fellow pas

Never Go into a Place Where You
Would Not Take Your Wife,

Not long ago a young man in Carson
got married and started for California
with his young wife. As he boarded
the train his father bade him goodbye
and gave him the paternal blessing.
"My son." said the aged sire, shak-
ing with emotion, etc, "Remember

enough to track grizzly to his lair
among some of the bOulders in the

the bear reused up and set forth 4
grOwl which shook the trees.
"Go in there and kill 'im,' said the
old man eXcitedly.
The son held back, further acquaint-
ance with the bear seeming in some re-
spect undesirable.
"Count me out" be said.
"IIave l crossed the seas and settled
in America to raise a coward ?" shouted
the father, brandishing his gun.

The old man clasbcd his dutiful son
to his bosom, and as the bear issued
forth, exclaimed.
Speaking of Sally, let us hasten
home. Our prolonged absence might
cause her needles alarm"
In about fifteen minutes they had
rached the ranch, the old man a little
ahead, and the distance was about
four miles.

French savants have lately been devot.
ing special attention to hyGrophobia
The great authority on germs has, in
fact, definitely announced that he does
not intend to rest until he has made
known the exact nature and life-history
of this terrible disease, and discovering
means of preventing Or curing it.
The most curious result yet attained
in this direction, however, has been
announced by Professor V. Galtier, of
the Lyons Veterinary School. This
inquirer has found in the first place,
that if the virus of rabies be injected
into the veins of Il sheep, the animal
does not subsequently exhibit any
symptoms of hydrophobia. This in
itself would be a sufficiently curious
result to Justify attention, though its
Importance, except as conlirmatory
testimony, becomes lest striking when
it is remembered that NJ. Pasteur
has lately shown that the special RiluS
of the disease appears to be the nerv-
Gus tissue, and particularly the gang
Ionic centres. But there is this fur
ther curious consequence; sheep who
have thus been treated through the
blood, and who are afterward inocu-
lated in the ordinary way through the
cellular tissue, as if by a bite, are
proofs against the disease. IL is as
though the injection into the veins
acted as a vaccine. Twenty sheep
were experimental upon; ten only
were treated TO the venOus injection,
and then all were inOculated through
the cellular tissue. The ten which had
been first "yaccimated' continue alive
and well; they have not even shown
any adverse symptoms, The other ten
have all died of rabies. II remains to
say why NJ. Caller experimental upon
sheep, and not upon dogs and cats,
which usually communicate the dis
ease. The incubation of the disease
is much more rapid and less capri
cious in the sheep than in the dog
or in man, and hence N. Galtcr was
able to get his results more certainly
within short period. Having sue
ceeded so far, he is now justified in
undertaking the more protracted series
of observations which experiments
upon the canine species will involve;
and this he proposes to do. Expert
ments of this nature are not without Il
serious risk, and admiration is almost
equally due to the courage and intcli-
gence Of the cXpcrmcntalst. But
what will the mti-yaccinator say?

barely covered only with cold water

that the rice is cooked by steam rather

As George Herbert says, "By all
means use sometimes TO be alone"
God has put each into a separate body.
We should follow the divine hint, and
see to it that we do not lapse again in
to the general flood of being. Many
people can not endure being alone;
they are lost unless there is a clatter
of tongues in their ears. II is not only
weak, but it fosters weakness. The
gregarious instinct is animal--the
sheep and deer living on in us; to lie
alone is spiritual. We can have no
clearer personal judgment of things
till we are somewhat separate from
them. Mr.. Webster used TO say Of q

The Currency Question Not Settle

The Currency Question Not Settled
iGe american Sentry.
We have often exposed the fallacy
of the assertions made by organs of the
money power, that resumption had set
tied the currency question. Every
careful thinker has known that the
authors of those assertions were fully
aware that they were wilfully attempt
ing to mislead the people. But still
the assertions were repeated, and stand
of record to-day as monuments of the
infamy of men who would prostitute
the press at the demand and in the in
terests Of corporate monopoly. A sin
gle reflection should have prevented
any man, who cared for his reputation,
from placing upon the record such a
stultifying assertion, The basic theo-
ry of popular government is that the
people shall settle all political questions
at the ballot-box. Necessary prelimi-
naries TO such settlement must be, a
fair statement of the questions at issue,
and fair discussion of them when
stated. Therefore, until the people
shall have had the economic questions
which underlie the National party fair
ly made the test of political campaigns,
not even the first active step toward
their settlement will have been made.
Heretofore, the hard money organs have
supported their assertion of the settle
ment Of the currency question by point
ing to the expressions of the platforms
of the Republican and Democratic
parties before the recent election. But
they knew that no issue had thus been
raised, since there had been no practic-
al difference between these two parties.
They knew, too, that the people of the
country had been appealed to upon an
entirely different issue, and it was a
criminal attempt at Misrepresentation
to argue that the defeat of Hancock
was in any sense a settlement of the
currency question.
But now we are just beginning TO
see the result of the persistent agita-
tion of the economic questions formu-
lated by our party. That which we
have contended for so long, fair dis
cussion of fiscal and financial questions,
is to be brought about, and party lines
to be obliterated in the new division
consequent upon new issues. And
strangely enough a potent factor in
the result is found to be a representa-
tive convention Of the very party which
