Poultry Hints.

Separate out the young cockerels as
soon as they can be distinguished, and
feed them off for broilers. When they
will dress one and half to two pounds
they are worth more than they ever
will be again, if the cost of food and
trouble of growing them up is taken
into account. The cockerels intended
for future service should be turned
into the old flock to rough it, where
they will grow up hardy, vigorous, and
worth a great deal more than if kept
with the fattening stock or among the
pullets.
Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least a
quarter more for use than if allowed to
run with a lotof cockerels. In the
large late-maturing breeds, the evil is
less, though even with them the
practice of keeping them separate is
most profitable.
Disease is not natural condition of
fowl life; there are no other animals in
domestication so free from inherited or
contagious diseases, and none which
display more recuperative energy when
removed from positively injurious sur
roundings. Sound, healthy, dry food,
and pure, clean cold water, with the
necessary supply of mineral food, to
aid and promote digestion, constitute
the very best medicine for preventing
or curing the ills of poultry. The much
vaunted continental foods are, as a
rule, to be severely let alone.
Give poultry houses sufficient light
no more. Make the windows low and
broad. Two twelve-inch lights high
is enough-better than more. High
windows cause harmful draughts of all
by rapidly cooling that in contact with
them. Large windows overhead the
house in the middle of the day, but
from the time the sun no longer shines
directly into them till it returns again
they are constantly cooling it like ar
iceberg. Extremes of heat and colo
are both to be studiously avoided in the
construction and location of the win
dows.
Never open a window for ventilation
Admit fresh air through a protected
tiue, which receives the external air a
the top and discharges it into the
room at the ground. If the walls Of
the house are double and hollow, a:
they always should be, one of thu
lower sections makes an excellent ant
inexpensive induction tlue, by opening
an outside aperture at the top and al
inside one at the bottom. Large aper
lures are not required. If double win.
dows are used they may be utilized fo1
this purpose, if placed near enough tt
the ground. N. Y. Tribune.

PATHS Husband.

A Paris correspondent says: "Patti
is giving the Marquis de Caux 100000,
in return for which he is to renounce
his claim to the annuity which she has
been paying him since he and she sep
arated. He goes into society good
deal, but appears to do so more from hab-
itand because he has no occupation than
to amuse himself never saw anyone
who is so thoroughly sharp, selfish,
good-for-nothing loafer than this sprig
Of French nobility. He began his life
Of parasitism by quartering himself on
his country as a hanger-on to the late
Emperor, and when a revolution ap-
peared to him imminent fastened upon
Patti, who is generous woman and
would have grudged him nothing if he
treated her according to her deserts.
Wherever one sees the amiable but
inane Comte de Lancaster the neglected
husband of-the Countess of Cardigan
one is sure to fall in with NJ. de Caux.
They were both cotillion leaders at the
Tuileries. The Marquis does not any
longer set up to be beau. White
hairs are not picked carefully from his
hair, whiskers. and mustache or dye
applied to hide them. His eyes stand
out with fairness, and fold of adipose
flesh rises above his shirt-collar at the
back of the neck. The chin is double
and the whole air of the man gives one
the idea of sensualist. He is not ex-
tremely corpulent because he takes care
to keep down excessive adiposity. But
he is as prosaic as a horse jockey, and
looks 'horsy' man. He is devoid Of
the redeeming quality of gallantry.
The more see of him the less wonder
at Patti casting him off for Nicolini.
There is report that rich American
widow has taken it into her head to
marry him.

Not the least instructive of the exhibits in
the main building at the fair, and at any
rate the most popular among the ladies,
was the exhibit of ornamental needlework
aud decorative art work And of all the
vast quantity of this work that was there
displayed, that which was produced upon
the sewing machine was the most deserving
Of notice. This holds true particularly of
that done by the we'll known and deservedly
which this time, as in the past, scored tho
first place and obtained the highest award.
1t should be understood that no entries
were made on sewing machines as sewing
machines, but the entries were on the work
produced by the machines. This method
gives the best and most satisfactory result,
as the true test of the value Of any ma
chine is the work it will do. The entries

head was a diploma and $40. The second
premium entitled the winner to diploma
and IS. Now there were only two machines,
or rather the work of two machines, exhib-
ited The Domestic, owing to an oversight
in filling entry blanks, was only entered for
the first premium. The other machine was
made the Domestic received the first pre-
mium-the only one it was entered for.
The other machine, which was entered for
both premiums, was given the lesser pre-
MUM. Had the Domestic competed fol-
both, the officers state that, judging from
all the past experience of the Domestic in
universally taking premiums whereve,
exhibited in competition, it would have
taken both prizes They say further, that
there was no help for the committee or
awards-they had to give the premium tc
the other machine, as it had no competition
in the second class. In the first class, in
which both were entered, the Domestic cap
tured the rewards as it is their custom
wherever competing, to capture all the
awards in sight. In the newspaper reports
Of the fair the exhibit of work done by this
machine was highly commended. It was
spoken of as something wonderful. And sc
tt is, for the writer spent much time in il
examination, and was much struck with
the exquisitely artistic decorative work that
was exhibited. And the judgment of others
who were present at the time-they who
had made study ofsuch matters-was that
there was no room for Improvement. And

diamonds and his display at the fair was
tempting, but still only a very meager
sample of what he constantly ex-

of watches, diamonds, jewelry, silverware,

orders by mail, and the purchaser can al
ways rely on choice articles and exactly
what they are represented.

HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first sue
cessful restorer Of faded OF gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment Of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal-
lcled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire JuLfln,ent Of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at tho receipt of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
Tho use for q short time Of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from
MI impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
tlryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. Tho effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara-
:ions, but remain a long time, which makes
Its use matter of economy.

A DOUBTFUL STORY,

Tho Statement That vIce-Presiden,
Hendricks Speaks with Contempt of
President Cleveland's Policy Not True.
We doubt very much the story of the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Times that Vice-President
Hendricks speaks with contempt of the
policy of the Administration, will OPP
pose it both in and out of the Senate,
and Will organize opposition to the
Presidents appointments. The Re-
publican press has labored diligently
for some time to create differences be-
tween members of the Cabinet and be-
tween the party and the Administra-
ton, but thus far without the slightest
success.
1t is not to be supposed that all the
men at the head of the Government
will be of one mind with respect 10
every question that comes before them.
Human nature is not so constituted that
membership in a particular party means
harmony on the part of every member
of the organization. The Cabinet
is made up of men of ideas and convic-
tions. The Vice President is man of
convictions, too, as is President Cleve-
land. The latter is peculiarly situated,
because he can not fairly ignore the
claims of thousands of Republicans
who supported him in preference to the
Republican candidate for President,
though he doubtless feels that he can
not afford to lose the favor of thou
sands of Democrats in order to keep
theirs. The Graphic believes the Vice
President is right in the assumption
that the Democrats won the victory
and should have the fruits of it;
but it also believes, as the Vice-Presi-
dent doubtless does, that the President
means to do right, and with that end
in view will fill the offices with Demo-
emily can. Whether it will be done
and the party is very patient.
But, however this may be, there will
be no party fight The hopes to that
effect of the Republican press will come
to naught The Democratic party has
| of the harmony that prevails to imperil
itself on struggle of any minor, or for
that matter any larger, question. Civil
Service reform as the Republicans view
it is a great humbug. and its main pur-
pose is to keep Republicans in and
Democrats out; but the Democratic
party will not assist in its development
by quarreling themselves out of office
altogether. The President will be treat
ed with the greatest respect by the
Democrats of both the Senate and the
House of Representatives, and it will
be found that if every Democrat is not in
total harmony with every other Democrat
on every question and that state of
things never yet eXisted-there is suf-
ficiency of harmony to preserve to the
party in the Union the success it has
already won.-M Y Graphic.

THE TRUE EXPLANATION
A Republican Model Which Was To
Closely Followed.

A Republican Model Which Was To,
Closely Followed.
The Maine case of man appointed
postmaster while in jail for default as
assistant in the same office has been
rolling for some time as sweet NOR
sci under the tongue of the irrecon-
cilables, who have rejoiced in it as
proof of Administration incapacity or
laundering. or worse.
1t has just transpired, however-in
the Investigation to which the case re-
ferred to has given rise-that reap
pointment of proven defaulters was a
very common affair under Republican
Administration. On the 2Sth of Janu-
airy last the postmaster of Oneonta,
New York. was reported TO the De-
partment as a defaulter by one of the
inspectors. Notwithstanding he was,
on the 18th of February, just month
later, reappointed to four-years' term.
In one of the Ohio offices the post
master was twice reported last year for
grave delinquencies and his dismissal
recommended; but the delinquent was
continued in office. There are others
still in Office against whom defalcations
were reported years ago.
The appropriate explanation on the
Republican model would be that the
Republican Administration was inca
pable or deliberately kept those
thieves and rascals in Office rather than
expose them. But the true explana-
ton is said to be found in the red-tape
system which the Republicans have es-
tablished in the Department. Under
this system reports OF defalcation have
been pigeon holed and delayed, and
not until after the defaulter was reap
pointed. The .'irreconcilables" will be
very ready to accept the explanations
of the cases under Republican Admin
istration; though they have secuted it in
the Maine case under the present Ad-
ministration. which stands substantial
" on the same footing.-Detroa Free

THE PANAMA CANAL

Some Stupendous Suggestions as to Its
Physical Effect.
DR.. Charles Pinckney, a man of fine
learning and observation, opens up a
stupendous suggestion. He asked, the
other day: '.Have you thought much
of the physical effect of the Panama
Canal?"
mot much"
''Well let me throw out a sugges-
ton. The Pacific Ocean is five times
as large as the Atlantic. The rotary
motion of the earth. acting on water
near the equatorial line, of course, has
a tendency to pile it up. The bulk of
the Pacific being so much larger than
the Atlantic, is lifted twenty eight feet
higher than the Atlantic. For the same
twenty degrees colder. Now imagine
the effect of this enormous body of wa.
ter. twenty eight feet higher in level
and twenty degrees lower in tempera-
ture, being poured into the Atlantic
through the canal
''Why doesn't it seek its level below
the cape?"
Because that point of meeting is so
far from the equatorial line that the
centrifugal force is not SO great. and
the levels of the two oceans are the
same. Up about the Panama the diff
ference in levels is great. and the i'm
mense volume of the Pacific will rush
down into the Atlantic with terrific
force
s.And with what effectP''
''That is almost beyond speculation.
But suppose this mingling of the two
oceans simply changed the current of
the Gulf stream. That one change
would wipe out the cotton and rice in
dustry, making Georgia many degrees
colder. These are speculations; but
the cold facts are as stated, and it is
interesting to think OF what will be the
effect when the canal is cut, and the
high immensely of the Pacific is drop
ped to the level of the Allan tic.-At-
