They are at first weakly and wet, but In q

the chickens early in the morning, and often
during the day, giving but little at the time;
the water vessels should be shallow anu
frequently refilled. and so arranged that the
chickens cannot get iuto them. Throw the

poorly fed she will drag her progeny about
in search of food, taking them through the
wet grass, and wearying them with over
exertion but if we'll fed she broods them
carefully, and only scratches to supply them
with grubs and dainty animal food. Both
hen and chickens must be carefully and
warmly housed at night, and never allowed
out until the dew is quite off the grass.

The Force and Evil of Habit.

What things habits are! While we
make them, they in turn make US. At
first they are tiny, weak and brittle as
theads of grass, but ultimate into
cords, ropes, aye even chains, that no
human power can break. Talk to
man of vicious habits, and see how
easily and readily he will excuse him
self by the common apology of "Oh, I
can't help saying or doing that way"
Men do not swear as usual thing be-
cause they think it manly, or decent,
or gentlemanly; but habit has got them,
and that badly. Young men, steer
clear of the terrible bad habit. There
are men occupying prominent places,
and who think themselves entitled to
be classed in the list of gentlemen, who
can not utter twenty words without a
fearful oath. They swear unconscious
ly, owning to the steellike grip of
foolish and wicked habit. Let every
young man reflect that he can become
just such repulsive, coarse kind of an
old man, or can carry a clean mouth
and thus gain the respect of decent So
ciety,b cultlvating or overcoming one
of the most disgusting habits of Ameri
can life. What shall it be? Shall the
evil habit control you, or you control
the habit? Now, while you are in your
teens, is the time to decide.

Fifty Years ago.

Taxes were not so high. Sermons
were a mile long. Circuses had no
elephants. Dutch ovens were popu-
lar. Tallow dips were luxury. Log
houses were mansions. Whiskey was
3 cents glass. Eggs we're 3 cents per
dozen. Matches were not dreamed Of.
Pew rents were never heard Of.
Coonskihs were legal tender. Beef
steak was cents pound. Paper COL
lars had no existence. Indians had
on their paint. Pewter plates were
all the rage. Every store had bar
rel on tap. Pine knots illuminated the
roost. Blazed trees guided the trave-
Ter. Buckskin pants were fashiona-
BILE. Flint and spunk started the fire.
Grist mills were but corncrackers.
Hotels did not charge So per day.
The woods were full of wild game
There was no bottom to the reads.
Blackstraw was a favorite remedy,
Watermelon picnics were in style
Every settler had rifle and coon
dog. The old oaken bucket hung on
a pole. Salt pork creased the human
machine. Pumps and bumpers were
not in demand. The bon tons were
married in calico dresses.

Two boys of family named Scott,
supposed to be formerly from Ohio,
were drowned in Nebraska about the
10th of May, by being overtaken by a
flood in draw where they had taken
shelter from the terrific wind. The
food carried away horses, wagon, Mrs.
Scott, the two boys aged 9 and IL and
horses were drowned. Mrs. Scott was
rescued. They lost all they had in
the wagon, including about $500 IN
money. Mrs. Scott's name before
her marriage was Terry. For lnfor-

Allen G. Thurman for Governor.

The coming Democratic State Con-
vention has its duty marked out so
plainly before it, that there should be
no hesitation or doubt in the minds
of the delegates. There is one man
in the State who prominently repre-
sents all that is noble in Democratic
principles; who has spotless record,
an unassailable life; whose name is
known the length and breath of the
Union, and honored by men of all
parties; who has sturdily represented
the people in their war upon monopo-
lies, and who is stronger than his
party or any party. That man is
Allen G.. Thurman. The people will
rally around his standard with hearts
full of enthusiasm. They respect
him for his simple, unpretentions life;
for his clean hands on which is no
taint or suspicion of dishonesty or
bribery; for his record against the
giant evil Of railroad monopoly.
That he does not want the Office is
well known, but he dare not refuse if
the peoples delegates speak to him in
one voice. The Office would grandly
round out his noble life, and the
simplicity and grandeur of the days OF
Jefferson and Jackson would once
more return. With Thurman as our
Chief Magistrate, Ohio would take
her place as the leading state in the
Union. Honored by all men, he
would exert an influence in public
affairs but little below the President,
Gentlemen Of the convention;
Your course Is plain; your opportunity
grand. Give us for our standard.

is ours.-Ioledo Post.

About a quarter of a mile from th

About quarter of mile from the
Seaside House and about sixteen miles
from Astoria, Oregon, there is de-
posit of calm shells which is probably
the largest Of the kind in the United
States. The shells cover an area of
over four acres, and are in places ten
feet in depth. Over one thousand
loads have been hauled away to make
roads, with scarcely a perceptible
diminution of the immense deposit.
From time to time relics of the old
clam. eating tribes that made that place
their headquarters are found. A par
ty recently found clam opener 1t
was made from a whales tooth, Is
about eight inches long, and is ground
sharp at the end. There are some six
teen feet of soil on top of these clam
beds, on which grow fig trees, some Of
them 400 years old.

In q "HOss" Trade.


"But, father, he told me the horse
was sound, and I took his word"
"No wonder you got skinned, then.
1t serves you right"
"But I've heard you say yourself
that you'd just as soon have his word
as his note
ayes, yes, but that's money matters.
In them you can tie to him right
along and not miss it, but when it
comes to swapping hosses it's differ
ent. When trade hosses 60 it on
my own judgment, and look over the
p'ints of the hoss for myself. l don't
care if the man I trade with Is sim
ner like me, or a church member
with cushion in his pew. | wouldn't
trust the prophet Jeremiah himself in
a hoss trade"
