4 Cracked Comet.

Professor f. S. Holden, director of the
Washburn Observatory, has computed
that the tail of the comet has decreased
one-half in length since the celestial
wonder passed is perihelion. When
the tail of the comet was at its greatest
length, il was 100000 miles long;
now it is but 10000, coo miles in length.
This length is decreasing rapidly, and
will be very greatly reduced before the
comet disappears in the south from the
view of the Inhabitants of this hemi-
sphere, which will be in less than two
weeks probably. The comet and the
sun are now nearly equally distant from
the earth, each being about %, 900, 900
OF miles. The three large divisions of
the nucleus are separating te consid-
able extent, and the parts are now much
more plainly defined than they were
when the comet was first seen. As yet
the divisions are entirely invisible to
the naked eye but they are very obvious
when examined With telescope mag
nifving one hundred diameters. The
theory that the comet will soon become
entirely disintegrated and eventually
disappear altogt Their appears to have
been advanced wisely, in view of the
fact that it j, now evident that the
nucleus is not as compact as it was a
few weeks ago Madison Joar7adl

Bones for Poultry.

Poultry breeders do not seem to APP
preciate the great value of bones for
their fowls, and but limited few ever
make use of them for this purpose. No
matter whether the birds are confined
or not, they are sure to be benefited by
moderate quantity of bones. though
those which are kept in close confine-
mont need them most. Nearly every
family of any size have refuse bones
enough from the Kitchen 10 afford the
poultry quite treat from time to
time, and when this is not the case, or
when the supply runs short. enough
can be procured each week from the
nearest butcher at very small price,
many butchers being glad to give them
away to get rid of them. These can be
crushed by using q large stone and
heavy hammer, though there is now a
very good and cheap mill, made for the
purpose costing but So, without legs.
and 81 with legs which pays for itself
several times over during the season.
where large ilocks OF fowls are kept, as
il not only brushes and grinds bones but
also oyster shells, corn, etc. The bones
crush best when dry, and should be re-
duced to about the size of small pea.
They are put in small troughs or boxes,
under cover, where the fouls can eat
what they want and to suit their pleas

successful, and is very simple. Select

try to keep-picl on dry, clear day,
with grape scissors, so as not to handle
them much, removing all imperfect ber-
ries and those not fully ripened. Place
in clean dry earthen jars in layers, a
bunch deep, with dry straw paper be-
tween the layers, and fill the jar in this
way, Place q double sheet of paper
over the top layer and put on the lid
Strong unbleached muslin is pasted en-

LIQUOR LICENSES.
Important Recommendation Wade by
the 6raud Jury

hhe Nfnnu jury
To vary the monotony Of finding star.route
straw bond, and other indictments the grand
jury, on Saturday, submitted to Judge Cox vo.
luminous paper In regard to The evils growing out
0ithe violation Of tho liquor laws In this District
They find that largo number of persons have for
years past been carrying the retail liquor bust
ness without having license, TO the injury Of the
financial interests oftho District and to the detri
ment of good morals and honest dealers. The re.
guirements laid down to govern the trade are con.
,tantly Ignored. The sale ofliquors TO minors and
9n sundays y openly carried on. From these
incts the grand jury comes TO the conclusion that
he existing laws are not sufficient to cope With
.he evil and are not properly enforced, aud re-
yscm Of administering the law through the Po-
lice Court II considers iuconyenient, expensive,
md cumbersome. The following recommended
ions are made
Flrst-The board for the consideration of appl.
atons for licenses to sell liquor by It should con
ist OF three persons, each Independent of and not
IN the employ Of the District Commissioners these
persons TO be appointed annually by the judge
holding the June term of the Criminal Court, and
their action upon any application to be hual
second-Au such applications should be aed
With said board on or before October of each wear
and should be definitely passed upon before the
end OF the succeeding month-yiz., November 30.
Thlrd--The cost OF licenses for wholesale and re.
tail dealers should be uniform
Fourth-Nholcsae dealers should be subject to
lho same police regulations as retail dealers.
. tiith-The exhibition Of stock and fixtures, of
liquors and glasses, or the parapheTnalia of the
dcnCe of sale
Slxth-The penalty for conducting the-liQuor
business withouta license should bo-flfst, for the
lirat onense, fine as at present; second, for the
secOnd oifense, fine and imprisonment, and the of.
fender to be, for period Of five years disqualified
for obtaining u license.
seyenth-For violation by licensed dealer of
me laws and regulations governing such traffic
he penalty should befrst. for the first oflensc,
line as at present; second for the second ohense,
similar fine and forfeiture Of the license.
In concluding this report the grand jury begs to
say that In Its opinion considerable increase I'm
ihc police force is essential to the better enforce.
