feeding, and cleanliness If strict

great profit to the farmer, aud the
farmers family may well afford
to enjoy on his own table the ex-
eelIent and health-promoting diet
of eggs and poultry, instead of so
much deleterious pork meat. This
month the fowls should all be in
comfortable quarters house
sheltered as much as the situation
will allow from the northwest
winds, aud it should have sash or
two on the east and south sides, and
ventilation sheuld be had through

sary to 20 around and gather the
eggs two or three times day to
prevent their cracking open with
the frost, which will teach tho fowls
to commence egg eating, a habit
once contracted is very demoraliz-
ing and exceedingly difficult to
break. For this reason it is always
best to make the nests away from
the light, in fact arrange them so
that they will be quite dark. The
diet should be varied as much as
possible. We have found it n good
plan to feed, as soon after daylight
as possible, soft food made of cooked
vegetables, turnips or potatoes,
mashed skins and all to which should
be added corn meal and best wheat
bran, and sufficient scalding water
should be thoroughly stirred
through the mess to have it mix to
a crumbly consistency, so that IL
may be made up into balls without
much adhering TO the hands Ground
oats may be used two or three times
a week in place of the meal and
bran to good advantage. At noon
utilize the table scraps, pounding
the bones fine on large stone in
the hen-house, which should be
kept for the purpose; also give the
fowls a crushed turnip or carrot, or
loose head of csbbage-it is better
to suspend the cabbage just on a
range with their heads. At night
whole grain should be given-sither
wheat or corn. the latter preferable
this month. Very cold evenings it

FRIENDLY ADVICE TO
SwEARERS.

Robert j. Burdette: Nobody cares
for the swearing of an habitual
sweArer. His volleys of profanity
have no terrier in them. They mean
nothing. 1t is the man who never
swears who scares you out of your
boots if once in a lifetime he does
swear. So far "a we can learn,
Washington only awore once during
all the eight years of the Revolu-
tionary war. But that one time
counted. 1t turned back the tide of
retreat, changed a rout into a vic
tory and made things hum. But
! the fellow who swears on all oeca-
sions, and swears hot and cold with
the same mouth, the intellectual
pauper who ekes out his barren
supply of ideas with an abundant
crop Of profanity whose converse
ton is a long chain of mill privi-
leges, and who talks as a beaver
works-his swearing is weak, tire
some, disgusting. So, if you want
to swear with any effect, my boy,
be very seldom about il. Be exclu-
sive in your profanity. Ifyou can't
get along without it, bring it out
occasionally, like rare old family
diamonds; don't keep it running six
or eight hours day, like the kitch-
en- hydrant.
And-you went be offended, my
son-but if you will observe closely
you will perceive that young men,
boys, lodgings of about your age,
swear more than men-mOre fire.
quently, and more Rwkwardly, with
less point and direction. A man be-
comes ashamed Eft. 1t belongs to
the cigarette and matinee period of
life, my boy. 1t is habit that
Aourishes in the bread-and- butter
days, along somewhere between the
high school and the college, and
while the blue ribbo on the diplo-
ma is bright. IL belongs to what
Pack so aptly calls the "unsalted
generation" the fresh young man.
So put it away, and put on manly
things. latE

SAD CAREER OF AMANDA
HALL.
A nAUGHTER OF A GOVERNOR AND
UNITED STATES SENATOR REscU-
ED FROM THE wORKHOUsE
AT DAYTON.

DAYTON, o., January 6. The
romatic, but sad, career of Amanda
Hall, who was sentenced to the
werkhouse last month, has just been
brought to light by the appearance
of Councilman Lincoln, from Pitts
burg, relative, who rescued her
from degraded position aud has
taken her to his home. Amanda,
who has been known here only by
an assumed name, is the daughter
of gentleman who was governor
of this State, q member of the Unit
ed States Heuse of Representatives
and Senate, and distinguished Of
fieer in the war. Her father is now
dead, and his death is said to have
been fastened by the hayward life
of his favorite child. Amanda pos
sessed a genial disposition, and her
rare beauty, accomplishments, and
exalted social standing, caused her
10 be courted by leading gentlemen
of the nation. She was the rec0g-
nized belle of her native city, the
capital of her native State, where
she dwelt while her father was
governor, and was queen of socie-
ty at Washington when she resided
there. Her parents desired her to
marry a wealthy man whom she
did not love, and 10 please them she
promised to wed him, but on the
appointed day eloped with a man
named Paul, much her social and
intellectual inferior, who afterward
cruelty deserted her. She wrote her
parents, asking forgiveness, and
permission to return home, but they
coldly turned her away. Alone,
dIshsartened and penniless, she fell,
and, as last resort, entered house
of ill fame, in a Western city. She
came here two years ago from Col
umbus, but drifted from bad to
worse, and for the last year was in
the lowest dive in the West End.
While here she became involved in
a difficulty and was arrested for
assault and battery, for which she
was sentenced to the wOrkhouse.
For the past few years her relatives
have been securing the country for
her without success, but finally learn
ed of her whereabouts from a letter
written by her to former friends
asking assistance. One of her sis
tiers is the wife of a millionaire in
Pittsburg.
