largely on knowing where every bird Is,
where she lays, and especially where
she sits. As with all domestic animals,
If is highly essential that turkey hens be
tame and gentle; to accomplish this, be
kind and gentle with them. Have but
one person to attend to them during the
Matching season, and when the chicks

take the young from the nest. They re-

Young are removed from the nest, wash
the old turkey on the underside OF the
wings and on the body with a strong
decoetion of tobacco to destroy vermln.
When first taken of, confne the young
in low yard, made by setting boards a
foot wide or more on edge, and allow
the old bird her liberty. Feed at first
with dough made of coarse ground corn
meal, finely chopped boiled eggs, and
new milk. Feed little at a time and
often; put sulphur in the feed occasion

A Piano in a Tent

The Denver Times says: On a certain
street in Denver is a stone mansion Of
surprising elegance, which, with its
grounds, cost nearly 81, 600, 600. Direct
iy opposite, on a vacant lot, is a tent,
boarded up inside as far as the angle OF
the roof. The back end of it is pierced
with a stovepi pc and in the front end
are a door and window. In the window
hangs a curtain of costly lace and in the
tent is a piano of exquisite tone. The
piano, upholstery and furniture inside
are said to have cost over $1,000. The
owner plan ted his tent here over twenty
five years ago and is one of the modern
successful Colorado miners, being worth
about $4,000. He prefers his tent to
any dwelling house and says he would
not exchange it for Windsor Castle.

The TaiIors Did Not Like 1t.

In 1857, says an English magazine,
FoOte produced a burlesque, the author
of which has never been discovered,
entitled "The Tailors; a Tragedy for
Warm Weather." Dowton announced
the revival of this piece for his benefit.
As the title implies, it was a satire upon
the sartorial craft, and upon the bills be-
ing issued an indignation meeting was
convened among the knights of the
needle, who vowed to oppose the per-
formance by might and main. Men
acing letters were sent to Dowton tell
ing him that II, 900 tailors would attend
to hiss the piece, and one who signed
himself ''Death" added that 10, 900 more
could be found il necessary. These
threats were laughed at by the actors;
but when night came it was discovered
that the craft were in earnest, and that,
with few exceptions, they had contrived
to secure every seat in the house, while
mob without still squeezed for ad-
mission. The moment Dowton appeared
upon the stage there rose a hideOus up
roar, and some one threw a pair of shears
at him. Not a word would the rioters
listen to, nor would they accept any
compromise in the way of changing the
piece. Within howled and hissed without
intermission hundreds of exasperated
tailOrs, who attempted to storm the
house. So formidable did the riot wax
thar a magistrate had to be sent for
and special constabies called out. but
these were helpless against overwhelrs-
ing odds, so troop Of Life Guards was
ultimately summoned, who after making
sixteen prisoners put the rest to flight

kidnapped MI. Sheldon.
RR ARRIVES IN ENGLAND SAFELY AFTER
HIS DETENTION IN MISSOURI.

Alfred Sheldon, British subject, dis
appeared from Kansas City, No., on
May 4. The theory was that he was
kidnapped and held in bondage to COM
pei his friends to pay $4,000, which
amount he was short of as agent of q
milling concern. II has Just been
learned that after a short captivity
Sheldon was liberated, and is now safe
in England. The case was considered
by the British Parliament.
Governor Crittenden has within a few
days received a letter from the British
Minister at Washington, informing him
of Mr.. Sheldon's arrival in England. At
the request of the British government,
through the State Department at Wash
ington, Governor Crittenden took active
secret measures for an investigation of
the case, and to rescue Sheldon if he had
been kidnapped as alleged. The follow.
ing account of the affair is given:
On May II, at about midnight, two
men went to Sheldon's house in a buggy
and arrested him on a pretended warrant
and took him away. They were joined
by two other men, and the prisoner was
carried to a place near Blue Springs and
detained at a camp in the woods for sew
eral weeks. His captors meanwhile
compelled him to write to his friends for
money, the men demanding $4,000.
At length one night a member of the
gang promised secretly to release him.
The man took him to railroad station
near by and gave him ten dollars and
left him. Sheldon took a train at the
station, but the narrative does not state
where he went The conclusion is that
captors were pressed so closely
by the detectives that, becoming alarmed,
they released their prisoner. Sheldon's
wife, who remained for some time sitter
her husbands disappearance in Kansas
City, is now in England.

Three of n Family of seven Die After
Drinking Wine and Eating Potatoes.

a.
Drinking Wine and Eating Potatoes.
A horrible case of poisoning has taken place
in the family of Christian Krall, residing in
the small settlement of Bunker Hill about
four miles northwest of Lebanon, Pa. The
family consists Of Mr.. and Mrs. kral and five
children, the eldest a daughter, aged eighteen.
These seven persons were badly seized with
violent vomiting and retching after breakfast.
The young girl was the first TO be-
come prostrated, and very shortly all the chill
dren were lying about the floor and on the beds
in horrible pain. Then the eigh een-year-old
daughter was seized with gripping pains, and
she was obliged to stop minlstering to the
wants Of the children. Then the mother and
the father were seized with pain in the pit
of the stomach, so that in short
space Of time the entire family was
prostrated and thought to be dying
One Of the neighbors summoned DIR. A, W.
Shutz, who quickly responded and pronounced
their ailment to be caused by poison. 1t was
learned that they had eaten fried potatoes for
breakfast with bread and coffee. The potatoes
were frozen in the cellar before they were pre-
pared, but it is not believed that they caused the
trouble. The family had also drank some
sour vine on the previous evening. The GUS
tomary antidotes were administered after the
sufferers had been put to bed. Their pain was
most intense, and they rapidly sank. The first
to die was Sarah, who, it appeared, had par
taken of most Of the food containing the
poison, if it had been administered in that
way. The second victim was the wife and
mother, who died about an hour after her
daughter The next to die was child, aged
six.
The remaining four members Of the family
were supposed to be dying when our CORE
spondent drove away from the little home Of
the Kralls. The family is in destitute circum-
stances, and steps are being taken to
provide for the burial of the dead.
Mr.. Krau is an honest, hard work
ing man, and it is reported that there was no
trouble in his family. It is not believed that
the potatoes or wine contained the poison. At
a later hour it was reported that another child
had died. There are several stories afoat
leading to the suppostion that there might be
foul play and that the poisoning was not aeci-

Another Victory for the British-Gseneral
Stewart Safe, but Wounded.

Intelligence was received at the War Office
in London that Gen. Stewards force is en-
trenched south Of Metemneh. The dispatch
says that Gen Stewart is in communication
with Gen. Gordon. Gen. Stewards force had
several fights with the Arabs before it reached
Metemneh, and Gen. Stewart himself is badly
wounded, but is doing well. Five Of the
Mahdi's emirs we're killed in the fights. Gen.
Lord Wolseley in a dispatch reports the cap
ture of Metemneh by the British. He also says
that Sir Charles Wilson has gone to Khartoum
on board a steamer to confer with Gen. Cor
don. It is expected that he will return as soon
as possible to report personals 10 General
WOlseley. An official dispatch received from
Gen. Gordon shows that his position at Khar
toum Is by no means as desperate as has been
supposed BE says that he could hold out there
for years.
Later dispatches report that battle was
fought with the Arabs on the 18th in which
General Stewart was wounded and two war
correspondents. Mr. Herbert aud Mr.. Cameron,
killed. The British were victorious.
Gen. Stewart was obliged, on acco1nt OF his
wound, to give up command to Sir Charles
Wilson.
The British loss was estimated at twenty
killed and sixty wounded Sir Herbert Stew
art was wounded. Lord st. Vincent, Of the
sixteenth Lanceis, died Of wounds received
at Abu-Klea. The Arabs numbered 1000 men,
including cavalrymen armed with rifles.
The total British loss including the loss at
Abu-Klea, was 104 killed and ZIG wounded The
enemy's loss was 5000 killed and wounded sir
Charles Wilson deplores the losses which the
English troops had suffered in crossing from
KOrti TO Gubat. but in other respects he regards
the result Of operations as in the highest de-
gree successful. Lord Wolseley teegraphs
that two officers were killed and nine wounded
during the passage from Abu-hlea 10 the river
Colonel Burleigh was among those who were
slightly wounded.
General Stewart pushed on to Gubat, post
on the Nile below Metemneh, about half way
between Berber and khartOum, having OPP
posite it a large island on which plenty Of
forage for horses and camels is obtainable.
The Queen has sent a despatch thanking
Gen. Stewart and his troops for their bravery,
condohng with them for their losses, and pro-
noting Gen. Stewart to the rank OF Major
General
The London Daily Ne,rs' special CORE
spondent says;
'The first part of Stewart's march from Abu
Klel was orderly, quiet and steady. Later the
route lay through a dense jungle and groves
of mimosa, where the confusion and uproar Of
the native drivers delayed progress a couple of
