FEEDING YoUNG CHICKs.-Give the
young chickens 8 weekly feed Of chop
ped onions. 1t helps, to keep them
healthy. A medium-sized' onion minced
very fine is enough for brood. Ii you
have been enterprising enough to get
early chickens, don't let them die for
want of little extra care. Give them
one feed daily Of rice and another of oat
meal. You can get cheap qualities Of
both. Let the other meals be any sort
of kitchen scraps. occasionally little
cracked corn. Twice week give some
raw meat, cut very small. At the first
sign Of the gapes, treat the patient to a
bread pill thickly coated with red pep
per OF small lump of camphor It may
be necessary to repeat the dose. We
have never known a second dose to fail
of effecting sure cure.
FEATHER EATING.-In regard to this
strange habit, we append some remarks
by the Poultry Bulletin. ''From close
observation, we very much doubt if it is
the soft, bloody end of the feather thr 1
is crayed for, but the light, webby POI
ton. In all cases we find the crop filed
with this portion of the feather. and we
have number of times checked the
trouble by giving the fowls a supply Of
tinely-cut rowen grass or hay. Where
fowls have run on grass, winter and
summer, they do not indulge in this
troublesome habit, even if they have no
animal food at all !; but confne them to
yard OF house, no matter how large,
if there be no grass or hay within reach,
the trouble soon commences. +"
Old tan bark makes a cool and de-
hghtful walk under the shade of trees.
1t must be laid on a dry bottom, or it
becomes very unpleasant in wetweather.
Stag from furnaces ground up with
ashes is the very best material for gar
den walks, and the color is far more
agreeable in hot weather than gravel
Notwithstanding its dark color, it is not
SO hot, and it does not pack quite SO
hard as the regular road material. Sand,
on the other hand. though it does not
pack at all, is very hot, on account OF
the very hard nature of its particles.

None of us are perfect, and we have
no right therefore to expect perfection
in others. So If you cannot speak well
of your neighbors, do not speak of them
at all. A cross neighbor may be made
a kind one by kind treatment. The
way to be happy is to make others hap
py. To do good is luxury. If you
are not wiser and better at the end. of
the day, that day is lost Practice kind
ness, even if it be but to speak one
word. Do not seem to be what you are
not. Learn to control your temper and
your words. Say nothing behind ones
back that you would not say to his
face. This habit Of reticence, beside
being kindly one, is safe. Many a
bitter harvest has been reaped from
thoughtless words of censure.

The Worlds Cattle Supply.

An English paper says: If meat is
scarce and dear in Western Europe,
such is not the case in other parts of
the world, as the following statistics rel
alive to America, Australia and Africa
will show: Uruguay, the population of
which by the last census of 1876 was
400, 900 souls, possessed OF the same
time 4.S73,924 head of horned cattle
and 9, 142. 155 sheep, but as those figures
are taken from the returns made by the
farmers themselves for the purpose Of
taxation. M. Vatalba, Comptroller OF
the State, considers the more accurate
numbers would be 6,000.000 and 49,
000.0 00. The Argentine Confederation,
far larger in extent, with barely 2,000,-
600 of Inhabitants, had, according to a
calculation published at Beunos Ayres
in 1875, 13,493, 900 animals of the bovine
species. of which 5,1l6,0 20 were in the

%c@h1C ~ lftA-
A w~cll-known Vienna dentist has
got into sad trouble through his ungov-
ernable passion for experiment. Some
time ago he made the acquaintance of
a young lady, the aspect of whose teeth
inspired him with a vehement desire to
improve his assistants acquaintance
with practical dental surgery by giving
h latter an opportunity to extract a
few of them. He therefore persuaded
the young lady in question TO undergo
a ''brief and painless" operation. on
the ground that her otherwise ire
proachable beauty was marred by GER
tain defective teeth. which he proposed
not only to remove, but to replace graf
uitously by artificial ones Of conspic-
nous whiteness and brilliancy. Having
obtained her consent to this arrange
ment. he administered laughing-gas to
her, and, while she was under the in
fuence of that anmsthetic. his assistant
with admirable skill and promptitude,
drew sixteen of her teeth. When she
recovered her senses she was somewhat
startled by the unexpected extent of
her losses, but. being . sensible girl,
forebore wasting regrets upon the ire
parable, limited the expression of her
feelings to q civil demand for the prom
ised new teeth. These, however, upon
reflection, the dentist declined to sup-
ply, observing that ''she might be very
well satisfied with having had so many
teeth extracted for nothing" Tho
patient, falling to apprehend the JUS
tiae of this rejoinder, has brought her
paint before the competent authorities.
and an Austrian tribunal will ere long
be called npon to decide whether or not
a surgeon-dentist be justified in empty
ing m unconscious maiden's mouth of
its teeth in the interest of science, and
for the instruction of his assistant.

Antiquities of Language.

We may excuse the foreigner II, in
speaking our language, he occasionally
misapplies an ambiguous word, however
odd it may sound. DR.. Chalmers once
entertained a distinguished guest from
Switzerland, whom he asked If he would
be helped to '.kippered salmon" The
foreign divine asked the meaning of the
uncouth word '.kippered," and was told
it meant preserved" Soon after the
Switzer made use of this newly-acquired
expression in a public prayer, when he
offered a petition that a certain divine
might long be "kippered to the Free
Church of Scotland" Here is another
example of a possible misconstruction
of language. Il fear" said a country
curate to his flock, .'when / explained to
you in my last charity sermon that phi
lanthropy was the love of our species,
you must have understood me to say
specie from the smallness of the collec-
ton. You will prove, / hope, by your
present contribution that you are no
longer laboring under the same mis-
take.n

The New Orleans Picdyune has some
statistics showing that before the civil
war the South had more taxable prop
erty on her rolls than New England
and the Middle States combined. After
the contest and five years of peace she
had sunk $500, 900, 900 below the New
England States alone. In 1860, 40 per
cent of all the real and personal prop
erty assessed in the United States was
in the Southern States, while now they
have only IA per cent.

ION A bonanza

A West Virginia exchange remarks
that "the railroad business is on DO.
nanza in this State" We have been
watching the railroad business of the
State pretty closely, but the point at
which it got 'on a bonanza" escaped
our notice. The fact is we are q little
muddled about the situation as thus
chrOniclsd. We have been anticipating
almost anything and everything for our
State this season, in the way of rail.
roads. We have dreamed OF West yir-
ginia being converted into a regular
gridiron by railroads. One day we are
startled with revelation OF a railroad
project in this locality. and another day
with a still more stirring revelation of
one in that locality, and we are kept
turning about and whirling about with
railroad projects until our head Is in a
whiz, and every time We hear fellow
whistle for a street car We imagine it the
scream Of a locomotive on its first trip
over new track. But We have been
able to preserve our equilibrium to
moderate degree until the reception of
this last report that "the railroad bust.
ness in West Virginia Is on a bonanza"
That upset us. We have heard OF rail-
roads on paper; aud we have heard OF
railroads in various stages OF prospect;
and We have hearl of railroads on a
bust; but this is the first time We have
heard OF railroads ION bonanzl." That
settles it. West Virginia isahead. Here
after when We hear Of great doings in
railroads out West, and when GRANT
gets to Dragging about his great Mexican
scheme, We shall forward him the ex-
change, notifying him that our railroads
are ION q bonanza" and thus shu, him
up.

BEN. BUTLER hit tho nail on the head,
as usual, when speaking, the other day,
about the Shotgun policy in the
South" he said ''there is something in
the North more disastrous to a free vote
than a thousand shot-guRs. A man who
firmly believes in his principles and as
firmly advocates them is not afraid OF a
shotgun, but he is afraid OF his wife and
family starving. With shotgun you
influence but one vote. The manuiac-
turers influence thousands OF votes by
the meanest kind of intimidation With
their thousands OF workmen they do not
say to man that il he votes for the
Democratic party he will lose his place,
hut the facts show that when he has so
voted he has been discharged. The
workmen know this, ami they do not
vote"
