''Do you really love me, Beryl 2"
A pair OF soft, lustrous eyes looked up
inquiringly into the face of HAROLD wy
verne, and oyertt the sweet, girlish face
swept a wave of pallor, quickly followed
By sunny smile as she saw by the ex-
preston of Harold's face that his question
had not been asked in seriousness.
How you frightened me" she said,
nesting close beside him in the confding,
trustful way that is so characteristic of
woman when she is about to lay pipe for
a new bonnet. "If you had been in
earnest, Harold, l believe your words
would have broken my heart"-and
stepping to the other side of the conserv-
atory, into which they had wandered
after the last waltz she gazed stead
fastly out into the deepening gloom of a
November night.
Poor little birding" said Harold to
himself, show madly She loves me. My
words, even though spoken in jest, have
affected her strangely, and she steals away
for an instant to conceal the tears that
cannot be restrained"

knowing too much. He was g young

Disciplining a Snake.

1t is but fair to snakes to state
that, though l have often been scar
ed by them, they have now and
then amused and interested me
To give an instance in their favor
One day / was sitting with a friend
in his veranda, when a chattering
kissing mass fell from the thatch
roof down to the broad patch, SO
necessary round dwelling in lands
where grass fires are frequent, and
would, but for this precaution, be
likely to come roaring for admit
tance to the threshold. Well, this
roll of living matter fell, and nat
urally antipathy running through
my nervous system like an electric
current warned me that a snake
though undistinguishable, was in
this bundle; and, surely, soon a
brown one uncoiltd itself and went
across the path, much impeded by
two valiant little birds, who must
have caught him poaching in their
nest and turned him out. Now they
were seeing him safe off the premises
and on his way into the thick rufuge
of grass, for which he was hurrying
against adverse circumstances, the
birds were giving him piece o.
their mind in aggravated twitt er.
lanonaoe He could not stand and
give fight, for the moment he look
ed to right an angry beak nipped
his left side; on turning to the left
he received a peck on his smooth
ripping skin from the infuriated
parent to the right. On and on went
the brave birds worrying the snake
until the grass was reached, and
then they left him.

How n Lost Bracelet Was Recovered

Several weeks ago a lady riding in
one of the cars of the Pennsylvania
railroad, between Pittsburgh and
Harrisburg, had the misfortune to
lose very valuable bracelet. While
putting up the window of the car, it
came unclasped and fell out. The
loss was reported to the conductor,
who took the name and address of
the lady, and four days afterward
she had the satisfaction of having
the bracelet returned to her. How
was it done By very simple pro-
cess. On arriving in Pittsburgh the
conductor telegraphed the loss to the
various station-masters near where
it occurred the stalion-master OF
each section placed The facts in pos
session of the track. walkers, and the
track-walkers were given orders to
keep their eyes open on their routes
for the bracelet. These men go over
the track every day, their business
being to see that no distractions are
on the road. In this way one of
these walkers discovered the piece
of jewelry. 1t was returned to the
station-master with the report of the
track walker then it went to the
conductor with report, and in due
time found its way to headquarters,
where the various reports were
placed on file, and finally returned
to the owner, whose receipt therefor
closed up the account.

From SIX months until the third
year is the age of fowls most pro-
ductive of eggs, although this rule
may differ somewhat with different
breeds. For the largest amount of
eggs the small breeds are best, and
in my experience the small breeds
have the greatest endurance, and
better constitutions, and do not put
on superfuous flesh after arriving at
maturity. Many suppose that egg
producing fowls are not good flesh
makers. In this respect the quality
and quantity vary greatly with age.
A Leghorn broiled at the age of 10
or 12 weeks is delicious and tender,
while month or so later it could
scarcely be identified as the same
fowl. At the same age in Cochin
or Bramah there are only bones and
tendons. Their flesh is not obtained
until months later. The small
breeds mature early, and even at
three weeks the bodies are feathered
if well fed, make good birds for
Thanksgiving. May turkeys are
very uncertain, and 1 do not try to
raise them. June weather is much
warmer and young turkeys take
care of themselves then with little
loss.
After they are Matched take them
out into the grass at once the old
hen takes care of them and they
grow rapidly. like to feed them
every night with wheat or cracked
corn at first, (I meyer give wet food
and as near as possible to the trees
on which | want them to roost.
There is fence under the trees and
/ entice them to the trees and the
fences with their food. They soon
learn to roost op the fence, then on
the trees and after that they need
very little care. give them all the
corn they want every night till Sep
tember; after that all they want
morning and night till | kill them.
l get as good turkeys as can be
found in the market. / try to have
large cabbage patch near the roost,
| feed corn to them in the cabbage
patch. They eat all the corn they
want, and all the cabbage worms
they can find. Cabbage worms are
good food for turkeys and it is very
good for the cabbages to have the
turkeys eat them. A flock of well
fed turkeys can range at will on the
farm without doing harm of any
kind, and are the best of scavengers,
living largely on grass hoppers and
other noxious insects.

A Cure for Packed Crops.

For years | have had hens now
and then sick with the following
symptoms: They appear stupid, with
wings drocping, comb and wattles
pale. In few days they died
This winter | undertook to find on,
the cause and, if possible, cure.
am now satisfied that generally this
condition is caused by the crop be-
coming packed and hard from some
cause so that its contents do not
pass into the gizzard, and the fowl
actually dies from starvation with
its crop full. Experienced poultry
men may doubtless know all about
this, but | apprehend that few far
mers understand the cause or how
to cure it. | became satisfied on
this point by shutting hen up with
a crop in such condition where she
could not get any food and after she
died | found her crop was as full as
when | first discovered that she was
sick. l also found out by examina-
ton that in a healthy condition
when the crop is full, it is piiable,
and the grain in it when it is press
ed, will move readily This is not
the case when it is packed, as then
it seems to be in solid mass.
| found hen thus affected short
time since and cut a small hole into
her crop where it projected out the
most, and with a small hairpin re-
moved the entire contents. The
passage leading to the gizzard
was packed very hard. This /
carefully cleaned out and then sewed
up the opening which l had made
into the crop and also the opening
through the skin, with white silk
thread. | sewed up both apertures
as closely as possible, and gave her
bread soaked in milk for food.
Within twelve hours her comb and
wattles assumed their natural red
color. and the hen became as lively
as ever. In few days the wound
healed and she entirely recovered.
The contents of the crop, (wheat and
corn,) when taken out, smelled
badlv.

The historic Ghetto Of Rome
where so many millions of the exiled
children of Judah have lived and
died amid squalor and persecution
is at the present moment being lev
eled with the ground, in preparation
for the grand embankment which is
to sweep along the Tiber from end
to end of the Eternal City. Among
other dingy edifces, the famous
house which tradition points to as
the one in which st. Paul lodged is
doomed to destruction. No tears
need be shed over it, any more than
over the rest OF the Ghetto. A more
dlsgraceful assemblage of filthy rook-
cries did not exist in Europe. There
was no romance whatever, either in
the appearance of the quarter itself
or In the ragged and disease-mark-
ed crowd who lived in its polluted
atmosphere. The Ghetto of Rome,
like so many other things in life,
may have. been very romantic to
people at a distance, but in reality
it was nothing better than a den Of
very dirty thieves.

Farmers should Raise Turkeys.
PETROLEUM V. NAsBY,
Despondent.

Let me tell how l raise turkeys.
| have six hens and a cock turkey.
Through the winter and until they
begin to sit, their home is in the hay
barn over the floor. / keep box
of oats by them, and they come
down daily for water, and when the
weather is good and the ground bare
they go out and forage as they like.
Oats, hay and what they pick up out
of the doors make up their living.
Oats make strong, lively chicks, and
the best provender for breeding birds
and beasts that we have. As the
tvrkeys have been at home in the
barn all winter, they will be likely
to lay there, and if there is not too
much noise, the barn is the best pos
sible sitting place. They will begin
to lay by April 1st, or perhaps SOON
er. | let them lay, bat if | want to
raise turkeys | do not set an egg till
after May 1st Young turkeys should
not come out of the shell in Massa-
chusetts before the first of June.
Turkeys Matched by June 10th will,
while the reverse is true with the
large breeds. The small breeds
make early and quick returns with
generous feed and care, while the
large breeds are more tardy in reach
ing marketable condition, when
they viii weigh very heavy.
The early or late profit in eggs
varies in the same way. While the
small breeds, as a rule, come into
laying at six, and at seme instances
at four months. the large breeds
linger until seven, eight and nine
months, according to the keeping,
while the greater amount of feed ex-
pended has telling effect on the
small breeds in the right direction /;
the contrary is observed with the
large breeds. Judgment must be
exercised, for neither breed must be
stinted or starved, while growing
After the growth and feathering are
completed. the birds intended for
laying should be separated from
those that are fattening, and put on
small rations of fat-producing food,
and large rations of albuminous
food, such as buckwheat, wheat,
brans and milk. OF this they should
have all they will ea:, but not with
holding corn entirely. When fowls
are in confinement it becomes nee
essary to exercise Judgment in feed
ing, as too much strong feed and too
little exercise have tendency to
fatten the birds. When running at
large the case is different, for the
reproducing breeds subsist largely
on worms and insects obtained by
scratching. The large fowls are not
so active, consequently must be put
on rations. In raising chicks for
market early chicks are best. They
should come out of the shell as early
as they can be managed with sue
cess. THIS period varies with the
convenience and accommodations.
The location must be warm, and
front toward the first warm rays of
the sun. The north and west side
must be sheltered. Very early
chicks escape the gapes, for they
avoid the dampness of the growing
vegetation.-COrreSpondeace Country

their form and color for days, wholly
