EARLY
Experienced persons have already set their
hens weeks ago-in February. Broiled spring
chickens bring 70 cents apiece in the restaur-
ants. But they canno be produced without
warmth and care to hen and eggs IL is not
too late now to set hens. Where you have
not a good hen house, with stove or furnace
for winter. build the nests in this way: Put
horse manure I'm the bottom. Over that throw
some clean, dry earth. Then upon that make
a nest of cut hay, not using more than enough
to keep the nest In shape and the eggs clean.
Do not let "A setting hen go prospecting of leg
deep in the snow for food and drink. Have
both handy near her, andssee that the water
does not freeze or get ice cold. Do not set so
many egg in cold weather as in warm Nine
eggs in February and II in March are said to
be rs many as q hen can properly warm Hay
let's the cold through 10 the eggs; therefore,
make the bottom Of the nest as directed.
Early chickens are by far the best for
breeding purposes, too. The first pnllets and
cockerels wi1l be vigorous, seasoned md
thoroughly developed fowls for next fall and
winter.
FOOD.
Don't forget that your chicks must have
some green food by the time they are two
weeks old. II they come before the grass
grows, then have some oats planted in u box
in the kitchen window, or in a corner Of your
hotbed ready for them.
As far rs the hens and older. fowls are con-
cerned, one OF the bestfoods for them Is wheat.
Corn diet is too heating. Save the screenings
and poor quality OF wheat for your poultry.
Do it next year il you have not done so this.
dive the chickens a good feed in the morning
OF this. Mhddlings, wheat bran, meal or
barley, not always the same, but mixed iif-
ferently from time TO time to give variety.
The small, imperfect vegetables should be
cooked and given to them from time TO time.
Throw them a cabbage nee in a while, and
stand and watch the fun says Mr.. T. X.
Felch. BE sure they nave plenty OF pure
water, winter and summer. Warm 1t for
them in zero weather. 1t will pay. Give
them fresh meat scraps once or twice a week.
They are fond Of milk and it is excellent for
them. Season their food occasionally with
cayenne pepper, not too much. Give them
hay chopped fine, too. Don't forget that all
living creatures need variety Of food, chick
ems among them. Keep ground oyster shells
or old plaster and lime for them TO help them

THOUGH the law that the way of the trans.
g~ressor is hard, be recognized as just, sympathy
for the sinner is not therefore forbidden. A
belief that ex-Banker Fish is paying a right
eous penalty for his crime cannot prevent a
feeling of pity for him in his humiliating po-
sition. Even a certain respect seems due him
for his display of stoicism, and his dignifed
demeanor under the most trying circumstance
which a man can experience. While his
chance to testify against Ward was, doubtless.
a qualification, the ordeal of this trial, in
which he appeared only as a witness, could
have been but a degree less terrible than the
first. Because his sense of right and wrong
was not sufficiently developed to prevent the
commission of a crime against the commu-
nity,-it does not necessarily follow that he
blame. On the contrary, there is reason to
believe that Mr.. Fish was as sensitive in this
direction as more upright men might have
been. Whether he regrets the commission of
his unlawful and dishonest acts on moral
grounds, is a question which no one but he can
answer; but that he has suffered keenly from
the public disgrace cannot be doubted. His
classification of himself on/the witness-stand
as 'by occupation a convict" was an occur
renee calculated to strike a chill through weak
men who are taking the first step in the path
way which leads to the same earthly perdition.

enjoyments only to look at goods which she
does not buy, is a liberty she is apt to regret.
The shopper in the course of time becomes
accustomed to the condescending shop-girl
a favor; but to insist that that superior person
shall exhibit her wares, shall take down boxes
or bring out wraps which the visitor secretly
knows are not to be purchased then, or that
the superior person suspects are being ex-
amined to no immediate purpose, is an or
deal from which only the bold do not shrink.
The shopper is convinced that if a favor is
conferred she is the one who bestows it, mas
much as business is not yet booming to the
extent that a merchant is indifferent to Gus
toners, whatever his clerks may be. The
trouble seems to be in a difference of opinion
as to the duties involved in a
saleswoman's office; the customer is
inclined to. think that all corners
should be waited on with kindness, patience,
and without regard to their supposed inten-
tions; the shop-girl feels a sense of personal
injury that she is compelled to be at the beck
and call Of an indiscriminate army Of other
women, a feeling that deepens when the other
women, intent upon their own purposes
rather than her convenience, call upon her to
serve them in what seems to her a proftless
way. The merchant himself is probably the
one best qualified to decide upon this vital
question; but, having decided, it may not be
always possible for him to carry his opinions
into practice, owing to the difficulty of secur-
ing all the graces and courtesies of mind and
manner for five dollars a week. In many
cases he has done it, with the result of pleas
ing his customers beyond measure; but, as
before remarked, it is not easy of accomplish
ment.

OUT of all the discussion, and purblind &C
something of practical good and benefit will
sesult to the workingmen of the country.
The best thought and the most devoted
Christian and philanthropic labor is being
brought to bear upon the ever-pressing ques-
ton of the relations between capital and labor
and the actual condition of the laboring class
es. State, national and individual action has
been taken, looking to the betterment of the
conditions and circumstances of the working
classes, and to the restriction of the rapacity
and injustice of organized and incorporated
capital. DR.. Lyman Abbott contributes to
the November Century an article on the
problem entitled danger Ahead" in which
he says: II wish I had the ear of
the workingmen's organizations. 1 would
put these figures before them, and then l
would address them in some such terms as the
following: DO you not see the fatal defect of
all your. organizations You combine only
that you may not work. In one summers
Geographic strike you spent $500, 900 for the
eight to be idle. Why did you not expend it
for the right to be independent Half a
million dollars, plus all the best Geographic
talent in the United States, with the sympa-
thies of the Nation as a reserve, combined to
establish postal t~elegraphy, might have given
you success, instead of failure. Strike, not
for better wages in servitude, but for indie
pendence. Organize not to be idle, but to be
busy. Combine not against your employers,
but that you may employ yourselves. You
battle not for the rights of labor, but for the
right not to labor. 1t is a barren, f~ruitless
right not worth fighting for. Victory is as
bad as defeat. For combination put CO.
operation; for few hours and fair wages put
independence; for a right to be idle put power
to work. Make yourselves capitalists, COM
bine your capital with your industry, and add
to it by your credit, and so become your own
masters"

THE druggists and physicians of st. Louis
are quarreling among themselves over the
question whether a prescription given to a
patient belongs to the writer or to the man who
compounds it. The estimable gentlemen are
agreed upon only on one point, namely: that the
unfortunate person who originally paid one or
more dollars for the bit of paper has no rights
in the premises which they are bound to re-
spect. Some physicians ignore any other
ownership than their own so far as to have
printed upon their blanks a line reading:
''This prescriptions is not to be reflled, nor a
copy of it given, without the consent of the
physician prescribing" 1t might add general
interest to this controversy if the patients who
foot the bills in nycase were to take a decided
stand for what they may, not unreasonably,
consider their rights. When one has paid
$12 for a prescription and 81 for the drugs
designated therein, he will naturally feel like
entering a protest when he is refused the
privilege of using the same formula again
without anotherfee to the doctor. If he has
not absolute ownership in the recipe he
bought and paid for, he may, at least, regard
himself as entitled to a copy free of further
charge. Indeed, it would not be an extrava-
CANT demand if he were to insist upon the
physician giving him duplicate prescriptions,
one to be retained by the druggist and one by
himself; OF, he might require the compounder
of medicines to give him a certified copy, if
he is satisfied with nothing less than the orig
inal himself. Druggists and physicians are
important members of the community, but
the people who support them are already
heavily taxed, and should see to it that no
further burden is placed upon them
It is time for the sick man to assert himself.
