Heather Chinee Telegraph.

Owing to the peculiarly of the Chi
nese characters, each of which repre-
sents a word, not letter, as in our
Western tongues, the Danish Telegraph
Company (the Great Northern) work
ing the new Chinese lines have adopt
ed the following device. There are
from five TO six thousand characters or
words in ordinary Chinese language,
and the company have provided a
wooden block or type for each of these.
On one end of this block the character
is cut or stamped out, and on the other
end is a number representing the char
acter. The clerk receives a message
in numbers, and takes the block of
each number transmitted and stamps
with the opposite end the proper Chi
nese character on the message form.
Thus a Chinese message sent in fig
ures is translated into Chinese charac-
tiers again and forwarded to its desti-
nation. The sending clerk, of course,
requires to know the numerical equiv
alent of the characters or have them
found for him.

Science as O Basis Of Conduct.

My purpose in these papers is to
show how rules of conduct may be es-
tablished on scientific basis for those
who regard the so-called religious basis
as unsound. shall follow chiefly tho
teachings of one who has inculcated in
their best and purest form the scientific
doctrines of morality, and may be re-
garded as head, II not founder, of that
school of philosophy which, on purely
scientific grounds, sets happiness as the
test of duty-the measure of moral
obligation. To Mr.. Herbert Spencer
we owe, / take il, the fullest and clear
est answer to the melancholy question,
''Is Life Worth Livingp" whether asked
whiningly, as in the feeble lamenta-
tons of such folk as Mr.. Mallock, or
gloomily and sternly, as in the Prone
thean groans of Carlyle. The doctrine
that happiness is to be sought ones
self (but as a duty to others as well as
TO self, that the happiness Of others is
to be sought as duty Ito ones self as
well as to them -happiness as o
means, happiness as the chief end
such has been the outcome of the much
maligned philosophy Of Mr.. Herbert
Spencer. such has been the lesson re-
sulting from his pursuance of what he
himself describes as his ultimate pur-
pose, lying behind all proximate pur-
poses," that of Finding for the prin-
ciples of right and wrong, in conduct
Mt large, scientific basis"
If can help to bring this noble and
beautiful doctrine-for noble and beau
tiful even those must admit it to be
who deny its truth-before the many
who regard Herbert Spencer's teach
ings with fear and trembling, not
knowing what they are, / shall be con-
tent. But would advise all, who
have time, to read the words of the
master himself Apart.from the great
doctrines which they convey, they are
delightful reading, clear and in simple
language, graceful and dign fed in
tone, almost as worthy to be studied as
examples of force and clearness in ex-
position as for that which nevertheless
constitutes their real value-tho pure
and beautiful moral doctrines which
they offer to those over whom current
creeds have lost their influence.

ing rice, which he said he had done a
hundred times. Telling him that he
would find five pounds in the locker,
and cautioDing him against cooking too
much, the captain went about his bust
ness OF loading his vessel with pig iron.
In half an hour the new cook rushed
out, exclaiming. ''For goodness sake,
Captain, don't take on any more pig
iron; Wen have load of billed rice be-
fore night" The Captain rushed into
the cabin, where he found all the pots,
kettles, pals, pans, dishes, and even two
washtubs, full to overlooking with
cooked rice, which was all seething
over the top of the kettle and falling of
upon the stove and the floor. "What' n

skipper, as he glanced around. :"How

Food for Fattening Poultry.

We receive so many inquiries about
this time every year as to the best meth
DDS and food to give poultry that is Sc
lected to fatten, we wish to give some
general advice on the subject to those
who may be ignorant on this particular
business, which Will engage the atten-
ton of large share of our patrons dur
ing this and the next month. Novem-
Der and December cover the winter
early holidays, when the turkeys and
chickens, the geese and ducks are in
active demand for the palates of myriads
who at that season of the year especially
find it "a part of their common educa-
ton" to luxuriate more or less on good
fat poultry. No green food is now desir-
able. All you are aiming for is to put
additional flesh upon these fowls, and to
do this in the shortest possible time. So
long as they eat well they will continue
to increase in weight, up to o certain
period, treated in this manner, and two
to three weeks will bring them to their
best. If they become cloyed, and lose
their appetite at an earlier date, after
thus being cooped up, kill them off at
once. They have reached the most
profitable day of their existence. and
will no longer improve in the desired
direction. In this simple way we have
fattened many previously well kept
fowls in three weeks time satisfactorily,
and we have known many hundreds
thus fattened that have dressed hand
somely in some days less time; the mode
thus briefly recommended being eco
nomical, as well as expeditions, cleanly
and very convenient. A greater amount
of flesh can be produced in proportion
to the grain fed, when confinement is
resorted to, and, if the prisoners are we'll
attended, and the term of incarceration
does not last too long, there is not much
danger of disease. We have not men
toned two prerequisites toward fatten-
ing fowls successfully and speedily, but
we take it for granted that your birds,
when cooped up for this purpose, shall
be free from vermin, and during their
confinement that they must be kept so:
No greater drawback to the growth and
Improvement of domestic fowls exists
than the presence. OF this pest upon their
bodies, or in the pens to which they are
limited. We, therefore, suggest, that to
fatten fowls proftably they must be kept
from this annoyance during the process
Most depends on keeping the subjects
in a condition free from worrying ana
dstraeting circumstances Stick pm
here, YOU who are new to the business.
