FLOCK SCRAPS.

Wool circulars are cautioning buyers
against offering too much-a caution
which was never more unnecessary than
now.
Why should wool be attacked more
bitterly than any other commodity which
tariff reformers propose to place on the
free list:
Rabid free traders show more desire to
place wool on the free list than to put
any other article there whose protection
it is proposed to remove.
The tendency of the department of
agriculture, ii seems to us, is rather to
underestimate than Overestimate the
losses of sheep in the last two or three
years.
Friends of the last Morrison bill are
afraid to force the measure to a vote this

The Arabs Fatnlism.

The wild Arab of the desert is as fero-
cious as the North American Indian. In
place of the Indians delight in warfare,
he has a profound faith in ''kismet"-in
his fate. On two days, as Emerson puts
it in one of his poems, it is useless to fear
death-the day on which you are appoint
ed to die and the day on which you are
not appointed. On the first ''ncither
balm nor physician can save;" on the Sec
ond, no power can send one to the grave.
With this creed for an armor, and the
further conviction that if fate DEGREES his
death he will awake in q Mohammcdan
paradise. the followers of the prophet are
formidable enemies.

The Poultry Yard.

One dozen winter eggs will pay a
bigger store bill han two dozen sum
mer eggs.
Sift the coal ashes in the poultry
house for the fowls to pick at and dust
themselves in. :.
Did you ever try feeding a nice,
sweet, fine cut clover hay to fowls in
winter? It's tip-top feed. Timothy is
first-ratc, and corr stalks are good.
Corn is a good feed for cold weather.
but care should be taken not to feed so
literally as to cause the hens to become
excessively fat, or they will cease to
lay.
A sloppy wet floor in q hen house is
an a~bomination, and invariably brings
cramp,' colds, and roup. 1t may be too
late now to raise your floor if it is of
that description, but you can put boards
in and v them with litter.
A hen that sits on the roost. or stands
on one leg from morning till night these
cold DAYS, will not lay. Exercise is MS
essential as good feeding, and hens that
are expected to lay must be so fed as to
comel them to scratch and take exer-
else.
Water with the chill taken off should
be supplied to fowls at least twice a
day during freezing weather. It should
not be kept constantly before long
wattled fowls like Lcghorns. since their
appendages are apt to become frost bit
ten from frequent dipping in the
water.
The early crop of broilcrs should chip
the shells the latter part of January. So
fire up the incubator and set the old hen
as soon as you can get good eggs and
enough of them. But consider before
you begin that you have no easy Job
ahead of you for the next three months.

Plans for the New Cruisers.

Chief Engineer Loring of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering of the Navy
Department is hard at work on the plans
for the new unarmorcd vessels that the
Government is to build. These vessels
will mark a new departure in shipbuild.
ing. They will be required to develop
a speed of eighteen knots an hour, o
thing that no vessel in the British navy
can accomplish. The problem the
engineers have to deal with is O difficult
one. The vessels arc small, and yet it
is necessary to get into them engines of
$500 horse power. Mr.. Loring is conf
dent that these vessels will eclipse any,
thing that England has cvcr built. lie
says that while WI have not the room in
u navy yards for such work as England
has, there is no question but that our
workmen can compete successfully with
that country in mechanical skill. One
disadvantage our vessels have when
they are first tried is that they cannot
be always differed and commanded by
crews who know how to get the b.st
work out of them. In England, when q
vessel is tested she is put in charge OF
a crew of experts, who arc kept espec.
tally for that work. Thus the yery
best results ore attained on fist
trial.

A.War Renaissance.

Old Washington people will remem-
Der Hudson Taylor, who, during the war
and for years previous, was first chief
clerk and then proprietor of a bookstore
in Pennsylvania avenue. During the
war he was a bosom friend of Edwin
NJ. Stanton, the then Secretary of War.
II remember" says Mr.. Taylor,
that while I was in Washington during
the war there wa one period when
there was some talk of doing away with
all the reglmental bands in the army.
1t was said that they cost the Govern
ment millions of dollars, and as there
was clamoring among some for retrench-
ment it was seriously proposed that
music in the army be dispensed with.
A little party of gentlemen, including
myself, fearing that such an order would
be given, went to the War Office one
evening to call upon Mr.. Stanton So
cially, rs we often did, and n the
course of the little talk we had the mat
ter was preached. Said Mr.. Stanton: 1T
is urged simply as a matter of economy.
We now have hundreds of millions of
debt, and it is growing fast Said I:
Mr.. Stanton, I have read somewhere
that music has been used in all ages,
not only as q stimulus to the passion of
combat, but also as a dative to tho
sense of danger, and while embattlcd
hosts are marching with measured tread
to the field of death music IS the magic
that lures them to their doom!' Mr..
Stanton rose from his chair, and in an
emphatic manner exclaimed
"sBy thunder, Taylor, that's a true
saying! Where did you get that The
regiments shall keep their bands if all
the finances of the United States 90 to
thundcr!'"
1t is needless to add that music in the
army was not abolished.

eff in this matter you make no mis-
take you will have two heavens, one

do make a mistake you have two hells,

nee of woman as a Christian, and
closed with a pathetic and touching de-
scription of the scenes around his
mothers deathbed.

A Well Bred Maid.

Richard Grant White used to tell an
exquisite story to illustrate the native
courtesy of wcll-bred Americans: "When
Gen. Washington was in New England
he was entertained at dinner by country
gentleman, who lived comfortably but
quietly in his old-fashioued home far
from town. When the general rose to
60 the little daughter of the host, not yet
IN her teens, opened the door for him.
AS he passed out in his stately way he
bowed and said to the little maid: Il wish
you had a better office, my DEAR Yes,
