Remarkable Indian Costumes.

THE graphic art is not unknown, it
appears, TO native journalists in India,
for from one of them we get most Wv
id portraiture of the great mobiles who
attended the late dunbar at Lahore.
The puissan; Maharajah of Cashmere is
described as looking far younger than
his real age, by reason of his having

acted in temporary theater. con-
structed of wood. in the camp at
Chalons. The house was crammed to
suffocation, when cry of fire made
itself heard. Instantly every one rose
and a stampede more dangerous than
fire would have commenced, when
Canrobert, who was in one of the boxes
with his wife. cried out in a ringing
voice, ..Let every one stay in his
place" The soldiers Immediately be-

Eggs in Winter.

EVERY farmer who knows ANYTHING
knows that it pays to have eggs to sell
in winter when the price is anywhere
from twenty TO forty cents a dozen. but
not one farmer in twenty takes the
slightest pains TO persuade his hens TO
Law in cold weather. They grumble and
growl about their fowls, and are eter-
nally rehearsing the same old story
about the perverseness OF hens who
will "lay well enough when eggs are
cheap, but will quit entirely rs soon AS
the price goes up" One man declares
that he don't take much care of his
hens in winter because they don't lay
enough to half pay for what they eat"
never once thinking that the failure to
to produce eggs results from lack OF
proper food, shelter and care. Many
farmers who use common sense in care
ing for their horses, COWS, sheep and
swine. exhibit wonderful amount of
ignorance and stupidity when it comes
to managing poultry, and the flocks of
twenty or thirty hens instead OF beinga
source of revenue barely pay their
way in summer, and eat their "heads
off" in winter Whose fault is it? Not
the hens, surely. A hen cannot run
an egg machine without supply OF
raw material to work on any more than
the Israelites of old could make bricks
without straw. What would these
farmers think of man who sheltered
his COW in rail pen. fed her on straw.
! let her 90 without water, and then
growled because she did not produce rs
much milk as when on clover pasture in

/ call him a fool" Draw your own
7 conclusions
A medium-sized egg contains l27
grains of albumen, ninety-four grains
/ of fat, thirteen grains OF ash. and 600
grains of water. To those who have
J never i" studied up these things the
amount of water seems large, but it is
less than in beef, while the amount of
fat and of muscle-forming material is
greater than in fat beef. Now is any
body fool enough to imagine that hens
can manufacture such highly nutri-
tious article OF food unless they are pro-
yided with plenty of raw material in the
shape of egg-making food. and COM
Portable house to work in?
| 1t is Just as easy to have eggs to sell
in winter as in summer, and a great
deal more profitable. Don't tell me
that cit amt natural for hens to lay
in winter 1t is just as natural for hens
to Law in winter as it is for cows to give
milk in winter. Give your fowls COM
Portable houses and with proper food
and care they will lay because they can
not help themselves.
No live stock on the farm will pay as
well in winter as a flock of hens proper
" managed. Farmers look to this,
give your fowls the same care that you
give to other stock. and you will never
have cause to complain that hens ''eat
more during the winter than all the eggs
they lay'in year would pay for. -

Phosphorescent Flowers.

THE phosphorescent flowers, which
have become such an attractive novelty
of late are produced in very simple
manner by the French manufacturers.
They are rendered luminous bv coating
the petals with transparent size, and
then busting them with a phospho-
resent substance. such as Canton
phosphorus (sulphide of calcium) or
Bologna phosphorus (sulphide OF
barium). the first named being cen
sidered the best, and Welding a soft
yellow light. According to NJ.
Becquerel. a good quality can be made
by mixing forty eight parts of flowers
OF sulphur with fifty-two parts of
calcined oyster shells. and raising them
to temperature of between 800 and 900
degrees c. Exposed to sunlight during
the day, the flowers become brightly
luminous at night.
