A BenefactOr.

If man is benefactor who makes two
blades of grass grow where but one grew be-
fore, how much more is he a benefactor who
should succeed in doubling the poultry pro-
ducts Of this country? Such a result is in a
fair way to be accomplished, and that very
SOON The discovery of Sheridans Condi-
ton Powder to make hens lay, will not only
result in doubling the egg product, but will
revolutionize the whole poultry industry
During the autumn of 1885 and winter of
1886, thorough trial of Sheridan's Powder
to make hens lay, was made by thousands of
intelligent poultry keepers, and the result
was most satisfactory and convincing. Not
a man or woman who made the trial got less
than double the average number of eggs,
and many got more than four times as many
as they received from the same number of
hens during the same time the previous year.
This trial was no hap-hazzard affair, but was
as severe test as could be applied. The
trial was made under prescribed rules, and
every report had to be signed by the person
who made the trial and then sworn to before
a justice of peace. There is therefore, no
longer any doubt in the minds of intelligent
poultry keepers but that a judicious use of
Sherdan's Powder will not only largely in
crease the egg product, but will stimulate
such healthy condition amongst birds of any
name and nature, as will greatly increase
the profit of raising them. This is a matter
of supreme Importance to women, children
and iLvalids, for there is no way by which a
steady cash income can be secured with so
little labor as by keeping and caring for poul-
try. l. S. Johnson & Co., of % Custom
House Street, Boston, have published recent

An AlIigatOr's Fight with Lizard
Furious BATTLE BRTwEBN TWO REPTILES
BELONGING TO THE FISH COMMISSION.

A rare combat took place Friday afternoon
in a building occupied by the Fish Commits
sion, at Washington, ID. c., between the
newly arrived monster" from the ella river
in Arizona-the only species of lizard whose
bite is known to be poisonous-and tive
year old alligator from Florida. The lizard
is fourteen inches long and about tw ce the
weight of his antagonist. Both reptiles were
in a semi torpid condition. having ceased to
take food week or two ago. and for some
purpose they had been removed from their
glass cases and placed beside each other upon
the stone floor. An attendant inadvertently
touched the alligators tail and caused him to
move sluggshly onward q few inches, when
he came in contact with the blunt nose of the
lizard. The snakv eyes OF the lizard lighted
up; his black lips opened wide, and his jaws
closed with snap upon the fore paw of the
alligator The prisoner made for time a
gallant fight for liberty and life. His move
ments were marveousy quick, and his avs
closed dozen times in quick succession upon
the mailed head of his asssilant He soon,
however became exhausted. and moaning
like a suffering child, lspsed into quietude.
The attendants sought by a variety of
means to release the wretched alligator, but
were compelled to be extremely careful in
handling the venomous "monster." He was
seized by the tail and held up in the air !;
taken by his bloated neck and choked severe
" plunged under water, and maltreated in
other WAYS, but to no purpose. Then sharp
wires were thrust into his nose, and finally a
large trowel was forced into his mouth but
such was the force of his grasp that the steel
blade. though considerably bent in the effort,
failed to release the imprisoned paw.
| Then the pair were replaced in the
glass case which had been occupied by the
/ lizard, and again the alligator renewed his
struggles, thrsshing his enemy with his
tail and snspping at him with his jaws. In his
struggles he had dislocated his shoulder and
the imprisoned limb became limp and power
less. At last the trowel was again introduced
| into the lizards mouth, and probably made a
severe wound in some tender part. Bubbles
OF graysh slime were exuded from the mouth
and nostrils, and finally the Jaws slowly
opened. Even then it was a work Of several
minutes to disengage the hooked fxngs from
| the wounded paw. The combstsnts were
| placed in their separate cages, the lizard lap
| ping his thick black lips with his greenish
forked tongue, while the alligator closed his
eyes. probably to die of the venom.
