EX- Attorney General DevenS Opinion.

A Boston correspondent of the New York
World asked ex-Attorney General Devens hi.
opinions regarding the land grants. Gen. Dev-
ems said:
In relation to all Of these time grants, my
opinion is this: When a company receives q
grant Of land on condition of completing the
road, or stipulated portion Of il. in a given
time, If at the expiration OF that time the road
il not finished according to stipulation. then
con: rcss las the right TO stop in and recall its
grants; but il it does not do this and permits
tho company to 60 on and complete the road i:
has no rcdrees and the grant is confirmed as
much as il the road had been completed at the
required time. ''lt is just as IT," continued the
juage with a smile II should sell you lot OF
ground on the stipulation that You should put
up q blacksmith shop on it within a year. At
the end Of the year, if no blacksmith shop has
been built, have the right to occupy the land
and turn you out; and if | don't do it and al
low you TO remain and build your shop the next
year, then am estoppei from troubling you
This has always been my opinion, and believe
it il correct i'll law and in strict accordance with
repeated decisions Of the supreme court Of the
Cnited States.

with it such an air of authority, that it was at

u H
Between the hours of eight and nine
o'clock yesterday morning the servant
at No. 46 Pinckney Street was called to
the front door two or three times by the
ringing of the bell. No one appearing
at the door or In sight who could have
rung the bell, watch was set, and in a
few minutes the ringing was repeated,
but IL was found 10 come from the bell
communicating not with the front door
but with the parlor-a bell which was sell
dom or never used On further exam
ination it was found that the wire was
not moved, and, indeed, that the bell
itself was motionless, while the tongue
of the bell at intervals of few minutes
swung quickly from side TO side, as If
answering sharp pull at the wire. The
movement was clearly visible, and the
sound of the ringing distinctly heard in
various parts of the house. The gentle
man of the house, n member of the Suf-
folk Bar, accustomed to weighing the
evidence of his senses as well as other
kinds of evidence, attributed the phe-
nomenal ringing to some magnetic force
connected with the wholly unusual and
unnatural state of the atmosphere. The
unmistakable character of the incident
led him to infer that there must have
been some unusual elemental disturb
ance at the time somewhere within the
range of the electric influences operating
in this Qnarter. Boston advertiser.

Artificial Heat for Fowls.

During the cold winter months, when
the thermometer not only goes far be-
low zero but remains there and we draw
closer to our fires or furnaces, exposing
ourselves as little rs possible to the Sc
we're cold, we naturally think more in
regard to theuse of artificial heat for
fowls, and perhaps some of us are in
clined to make experiments for our
selves. This is good idea if properly
carried out, but one should understand
complish by this experiment. g
AT the first glance it seems to be the
most natural thing in the world to give
fowls the benefit of artificial warmth, on
the principle that what is beneficial for
man cannot be hurtful for fowls. But
let MS consider the question for mo-
ment. If your sole object is the fatten-
ing of your birds and the production of
eggs without regard to the future well
fare of your stock. then by all means use
artificial heat, for there is no question
but that this is desirable in the produc-
tion of fat and eggs. If you begin this
treatment, however, remember that you
must not let the fire go out or the heat
abate below certain point, for il this
happens your labor will have been
thrown away and your stock injured,
since fowls are very susceptible to chills
and sudden colds after being accus-
toned to artificial warmth. l's 3'da
If YOU wish to breed from your pres
ent stock retain portion Of it in your
yards for longer time than the present
winter. 1t probably would be mistake
to resort to artificial heat, MS it surely
eneryates and renders delicate the stock
subjected to its influence, and the result
is poor, puny specimens for chicks and
u dcbilitated stock.
On the whole, then, for general pur-
| poses, il is better not to rely on eXtrane-
ous heat, but have your lighthouses well
protected and as large Il proportion OF
glass in the south and east sides as pos
sible. This will usually furnish sufficient
warmth, and even where il is II little
cool il is better for the fowls (admitting
the loss of "A few eggs at the present
time), than it is to furnish too great an
amount of heat and thereby render youI
entire stock weak and debilitated. This
course would also prevent allowing the
fowls any range, rs the change from a
heated room To the cold air without
would be too great a one for safety.
The variety, however, makes quite q
difference, as q hardy, vigorous fowl like
the Plymouth Rock will endure change
of all kinds much better than delicate
one like the Spanish, The Plymouth
Rock, moreover, does not necessarily
demand the range # required by the
Spanish and Leghorn, and for that rea
son, as well as many others, is the bes

caused by deficiency in the oil, Which
IL constantly being poured ont ON The
surface. for the purpose of keeping the
skin soft and supple.
This lubrcating oil must not be cor

waste matter eliminated from the blood.
The former is sccreted by minute glands

This scarf skin ia very thin and trans

having neither blood-yessels nor nerves.
1t needs constant oiling to keep it from
cracking. When sound il protects, not

skin. b,r. to some extent. the whole

absorption of harmful substances.
1t is for this reason that, in vaccina-
