Chicken Raising.

The editor of the Lake Eustjs Semi
Tropical does not professs to make chick
en- raising a profitable industry. He
says:
''Some of our exchanges have advo-
Gated the culture of hen fruit and have
given figures showing the cost and profit
on certain number of hens for given
time.
"By late experience in this branch OF
industry, we have come to the conclusion
that there is good deal in it. 4 brief
summary of items will perhaps tell its
own story.
''By feeding twenty. five laying hens
for three months, using during that time
six bushels of corn at 80 cents per bush
ell, besides the other material over which
hens do smack their lips, we have accu-
mulated in round numbers as many as
one hen fruit per month, which, at re-
tail prices, are worth four and a half
cents apiece, or the neat sum of 1919
cents solid income in three months time
from only % laying hens, to say nothing
about the six bushels of corn at 80 cents
a bushel that we bought to encourage
the hens to lay besides this, one of those
spring chickens was large enough to
make four good meals for family of
three persons. We do not care to tell
the pedigree of the famous stock, because
as soon as we can buy some seeds from
our neighbors, we will sell job lots con-
tanning full setting, thereby we should
have the pleasure of introducing a fine
breed of hens, and Of helping to develope
very interesting study"
IN. B.-We forgot to remark that our
hens were quite healthy, for this sum
mer they, only had the pips, fever, and
sore heads.

What Tom Moore Said,

That wrinkles are democratic and fiat
ter nobody. The same may be said of
all blemishes of the skin, whether
caused by sickness, age or accident.
"GJENN's SULPHUR SOAR will at least
retard the time when wrinkles make
their appearance, by keeping the skin
of a velvet softness, improving its elias
ticity and preserving its healthful APP
pearance. 1t gives a pearly aspect to
the skin which cannot be distinguished
from The natural hue of a pure blonde
complexion. Beware of counterfeits.

war, and claimed that he was entitled to
q pension, and lived by peddling books
and the charity of the neighbors. One
day last week he was found lying in bed
dead. There was nothing to indicate the
cause of death, but it probably resulted
from heart disease. Justice Connors held
an inquest on the body, but reached no
facts. It was cad death-old, friend

How to Save . Postage Stamp.

How to Save . Postage Stamp.
Two men stood near q little box in
Broadway disputing about q sealed letter
which one of them held in his hand.
The letter had been posted at an office
in Virginia and q carrier had delivered
it at an uptown address. In the mean
time the person to whom the letter was
addressed had left the city. The origi-
nal address had been erased and one in
q distant town wrote below it.
"YOu will have to put another stamp
On it," said the stouter of the two meE to
the one who held the letter.
"rhat's possible. but my wife told me
I only needed to drop it into box. She
ought to know about such things, be-
cause she remails lots of letters that
come to the house."
"Why didn't she look after this one,
then?"
Because she wanted it sent from
down town 80 that it would go out quick
er."
"Well, if you post it without another
amp it will not 90 at all. Women don't
know about such things"
A letter-carrier approached the box at
that moment and an appeal was made to
him. He glanced at the envelope and
said: THAT needs another stamp, be-
cause it is not city letter. If it were
going to another part of the city the old
stamp would carry it."
do you mean to says that this letter
would be detained at the Office for post
age?"
swell, perhaps they would send it and
charge the extra postage at the other end
of the line. You had better see the sta
ton agent about it."
There" said the stout man after the
carrier had walked away, "you see now
how much your wife knew .aboutit"
Come on to the station and if she is
wrong will pay for two cigars"
They went to station A and the letter
was shown to the agent there. "That's
all right" was hiss curt comment.
"But a carrier just told me it would
need another stamp because it is going
out of the city again."
"The law used to be that way" the
agent said, "but it has been changed, and
every carrier ought to know it. Now q
letter can be remailed as often as neces-
sary within the United States to get it
to the owner, without extra postage.
The only limit is the mum Der of changes
that can be made in address es on the
face of the envelope"
