"My how hot it is !" exclaimed .
heshy lady as, entering the car her eyes
fell upon the stove. "What an idea /! A
fire such a day as this! What in the

shoves up the window and fans herself

glancing at the open window in al Of
Tended sort OF way. As his eyes move
around from the window to his paper,
they fall upon the stove.

up goes his window.

looks at the stove and then cries, "How

thing OF the kind; and each opens q

to open all the ventilators, while another
opens both doors.

The conductor looks at the cause Of
all the commotion, its mica window
glowing like furnace seven times hotter
than it is wont to be heated. He takes
off his hat and mops his brow. Then
lie takes a long poker, and. standing as
far away from the stove as possible,
throws open the door. He falls back to
avoid the heat, then steps forward, looks
into the empty cylinder, and remarks,
with a laugh:

An express train filled with l~istless,
sleepy-looking passengers stood In the
Pennsylvania railroad station, on the
moment of departure for Philadelphia.
The locomotive had backed up to the
cars and poured q volume of thick
smoke into the hot, sitting atmosphere
Of the station. The travellers lolled in
their seats, looking as though they
dreaded the discomforts Of the long,
dusty ride, but yet were impatient to be
whirling through the open country,
away from the smoke, the smell, and
the noise. A slow-moving, surly-look-
ing boy of Il or thereabouts, passed
through the train, calling out
"Fa-a-ns, 5 cents"
He spoke in a dreary, disconsolate
tone, which made the people feel more
tired and languid than ever. He went
from the smoking car to the rear of the
train and sold just two fans.
A colored boy, about the same age,
followed Immediately after him, with a
big armful of new bamboo fans. The
difference in the two lads was striking.
The darky had a CHEEKY, business-like
way with him that appealed directly to
the comfort and to the pockets Of the
perspiring passengers. In a peculiar
boyish voice, as mellow as a flute, he
jailed out:
s'Keep yo'selves c-o-o-o-l, now, ladies
an gemmen C-o-ney Island breezes
A big fan only ) cents Zephyrs from
de pillows! Buy 'em while you can +
The effect was like a draught of cool
mir. Everybody at once wanted a fan.
The darky was as much in demand as
the newsboy on an early train from the
suburbs. People left their seats to
avoid getting left. In two cars the boy
sold G7 fans. He could have sold>a
many more if lie had them. He jumped
off the platform as the train moved
from the station with his pocket full of
change and his heart full of JOY.
''Golly y he shouted, "dat was quick
business" The other boy stared in
,tupid establishment and wondered how
it was done.

known as love apples, and were regarded

His Last Words.

There was IL brief notice i'll this pa
per of the death of greatly beloved
and very useful man, who died ut his
home in Boston about IL mouth since.
Below we give notice of his last
hours:
~ didn't think of such good news SO
soon. Praise God !" With these
words Rev. John O. Means, ID. D., the
corresponding secretary of the Amerl-
can Board of Commissioners for For
eigu Missions, received the announce
ment that his painful illness was about
to terminate in death. Shortly after
ward he passed from earth. In the
spring, when his associates, Drs. Clark
and Alden, were sent to Constan-
tinople to look after the interests of
the missions in Western Turkey, DR..
Means took their work upon his Shout
ders, and in so doing brought upon
himself the disease of the heart that
has proved fatal. His tireless energy

his wearinees and prOstration, he
would not desert his post until the
steamer bearing his associates was an
nOunced in port. He then put his pa
pers IN order, locked his desk, and left
the office never to return. This was
in the early summer. For the past
three months he has suffered the keen
est anguish, vet he has borne his attiic-
lions with heroic fOrtitude. Although
racked with pain, he was ever mindful
of those around him. and no word of
complaint ever passed his lips. His
smile was as cheerful and his greeting
us cordial us though he lay upon bed
of ease. He manifested the keeneSt
interest in the progress of the mission
airy cause and conversed freely upon
topics relating thereto. When near
ing his end he sent warm messages
of love to many of his personal friends
and associates. His closing hours
were attended by such agony that his
physicians deemed it advisable to put
him under the influence of Opiates.
Thus unconsciously he passed away.

Poultry Notes.

The fear of lice is the beginning of
wisdom in the hen business. The
breeder who masters that difficulty will
find other things comparatively easy.
Early chickens are easily raised in
warm, dry barn cellar, where there is
plenty of fermenting manure to scratch
over. Have an opening on the south
side, with plenty of light, and then if
| the place is rat proof, as it should be,
they will do better than out of doors
in July, when it is too hot and lice
abound.
Dressed fowls should always he
packed in clean, dry oat straw, and
never he frozen, but all the animal
heat shonld he out before packing,
which will take from II to "a hours,
according to the size of the birds and
temperature of the weather. If the
poultry has many PIN feathers, it is
better to allow it to become little
cool before attempting to remove them,
as when warm and moist it is apt to
make the whole bird look ragged, and
the plumpness and beauty are two i'm
portant things to be preserved.
Now when poultry is inclined to
gather together in groups, and when a
large portion of their time will be spent
in the house, it is good thing to see
that all the pelches, bottoms of nests,
etc, are we'll sprinkled with common
kerosene. This will do more than pre-
vent insect breeding. 1t will also be
good disinfectant and deodorizer.
There is no danger in liberal use of
kerosene in the chicken house or on
the chickens.
The hen has in her ovaries, in round
numbers, more than 600 egg germs.
which develop gradually and are sue
cessfully laid. OF these 600 the hen
will lay 30 in her first year; l35 in her
second, ia in her third. In each one
of the following four years the number
of eggs will be diminished by 90. and
in her ninth year she will lay at most
10 eggs. In order to obtain from them

at once that he knew the boy very well

Hello" he said in great amaze
ment.
1t was his own Grabbed little self!
What he had taken for a doorway
was the frame of a great looking
glass, and he had been all the time
making faces and shaking fists at HIM

which he had made no mistaken
thinking his own face the crossest
which could be found.
He could not help laughing little
to think what funny mistake he had
made. And then he was astOnished a
gain to see how very different his face
! looked when there was smile on it.
He stood looking at the dimples
which came in the rosy cheeks, and at

sufficient product to cover the expense
of Authorization, they should not be al
lowed to live over four years.
Variety in food is what the poultry
owner should bear in mind. Not all
corn, nor all fresh meat, nor all of any
thing else which is excellent, but a
little of nearly everything by turns that
a fowl likes. Corn may predominant,
but corn will ruin flock in time. Still
it must be said that not enough corn
ruins a great many more fiOcks; in
other words, starvation. A hen or
pullet that is thin and poor about the
first of November need not be counted
on to be profitable through the winter.
In killing poultry. the birds should
be tied singly and hung from pole,
where their throats should be cut with
a sharp knife, so that they may bleed
to death. They should not be fed for
at least II hours previously. While
yet warm, the legs should be dry
picked, and if scalded, care should be
taken not to have the water too hot, or
to rub up the outer skin. When dry
picked, this is not disturbed. Many
advise laying the poultry, after dress
ing, on shelf to cool, but | greatly
prefer the old fashioned method of
hanging them up by the legs, tying the
wings back closely. There are then
no fiattened portions, and the poultry
packs well either in barrels or boxes.
When cool, the heads should be cut
off, the skin drawn down over the neck
bone and fastened with cord
In fitting up the quarters for winter,
the busting boxes must not be neglect
ed, nor the supply of broken shells.
This latter item is imperative with the
layers. As any change or removal dis
turbs the fowls greatly, especially in
cold weather, it is better to have the
quarters all arranged and fitted up be-
fore winter. The hens which are to
lay eggs for the subsequent Matching
season shonld have their quarters ar
ranged. that they may be placed there
/, Immediately. The old fowls should be
weedcd out, and if not desirable for
breeders, should he fed and fattened
for the holiday market, when they will
command fair price. They are of
little use for producing winter eggs,
and should lie removed to make room
for younger fowls that will lay.
When the hens are young it is better
for them to lay ont their first clutches
before saving any for Matching pur-
poses. After the first clutch has been
laid out, there will occur short sea
son of rest, in which the fowls gain
strength. This gives greater uniform
ty, thrift and strength to the chicks
Care should be taken to weed out al
specimens imperfect as to size and
markings, rs well rs strength and har-
dihOOd. Eggs should never be saved
from fowls that show any weakness oil
disorder. In this manner many disOI-
ders and affections may be avoided,
and better and stronger fowls be rails
ed as representatives.
