tiers or shelves. On each tier there
are twelve cages, and each cage is
calculated to contain thirty birds. In
this way the prodiglous number of
3,240 fowls is conveyed in a single
wagon. The cages are provided with
tins for water on one side ard for
corn on the other, aud there is door
IN each through which any fowl that
is injured or sick can be at once re-
moved. The birds are said not to
suffer at all or TO eeteriorate on their
journey, though thew come from
Milan or even from Venice, and In
many cases are sent through direct as
far as the Spanish frontier. We often
thank heaven that we are not like the
Italians in the manner of treatment

These boys will make their mark in life.
They never were made to handle hoe,
And at once to college ought to go;
There's Fred. he's little better than fool,
But John and Henry must go to school
We'll really wife" quoth Farmer Brown,
As he sat his mug of cider down;
Fred does more work in day for me
Than both his brothers do In three.
Book larnin will not plant ones corn
Nor hoe potatoes sures on re born.
Nor mend rod of broken fence,
For my part give me common sense"
But his wife was bound the roost to rule,
So John and Henry were sent to school:
While Fred of course, was left behind
Because his mother said he had no mind.
FIVE years at school the students spent,
Then into business each one went:
John learned TO play the flute and fiddle,
And parted his hair OF course, in the middle.

The war broke out and Captain Fred

And wh@n the rebel flag came down
Went marching home as General Brown.

| And planted his corn and sowed his grain;
| He quietly trim med his apple trees,
| And weedd unions and planted peas,
| And sbingled the barn and hienoed the fence,

Now, common sense was very rare,

Came home to live with mothers fool.

Signs of the Zodiac

The most interesting and original in
production to book that we have ever
seen, comes to US in a little work just
received. in the shape of a humorous
article entitled "The Twelve Signs of
the Zodiac" illustrated by Thomas
Worth, the well-known New York ar
fist. The old and familiar signs with
which we are well acquainted through
almanacs and otherwise, are given a
new and every day meaning, and we
defy any one to look at them or to read
the text without indulging in hearty
laugh. "Biil Nye's" thrilling exper-
fence with cyclone is also wittily
treated by that humorist, and "Wade
Whipple," IN Quad" aud others of
those writer's OF to-day, who "shoet
folly as it flies" are amongst the con-
tributors, while artists such as Osper,
Cox and Coffin, have furnished apt IL
lustratiens. The book, " hich is the st.
Jacobs OIL Family Calendar and Book of
Health and Huna0r for the Million of 1885
is published by The Charles A. Vogeler
Company, Of Baltimore, Nd. g, and it is
only another proof Of the well-earned
reputation Of the remedies manufactur-
ed by that house, that such literary
lights should be ready to assist in
spreading the story Of the wonderful
cures wrought by St Jacobs Oil. An

ed by this house.-Rsd Star Cough Cure
which costs only twenty-five cents, is
shown by analysis to be free from OPT

at is a bore, as they cost a lot, and
were awfully pretty" was the practical
reply.
aAs If I cared only for that" said
poor little Ethel, in low reproachful
tones.
While this scene was being enacted
within the precincts of Carlingford
Church, another of the persons con-
cerned in this comedy of errors" was
walking hurriedly down the lane en-
route for the station.
What is it that causes the man to
start, then, bending, lift something
softly, tenderly, from the ground, as If
it were endowed with precious life?
1t is only woman's glove.

to his lips; this innocent cause Of all
my trouble I may at least keep in
memory of my madness and your dis
dain!"
Scarcely had he placed the glove IN his
breast-pocket, when he perceived that
service was over, and that the good
people were coming out Of church.
Not wishing to meet "the lady of his
love-" he stepped On one side, and con-
cealed himself behind large holly
bush while the churchgoers sauntered
by.
At last the one for whom he was so
anxiously watching came up, and he
could not fail to remark how sorrowful
and white was his little ones sweet
face.

who would find it for mel"
Nonsense, Ethel Don't let's stop
freezing here. / ara convinced it is lost
for ever; so come along. Charley hates
being kept standing about"
| And, putting her arm through that of
her friend, Bella fastened her towards
the group awaiting them.
When they had quite disappeared
Vane came from his hiding place, and
continued his way.

"my true womanl in spite of all your
weaknesses; and so you would give all
the world to the one who would find

some day there shall be peace between
us, and that / shall find you faithful to
your VOW, and to the love that yet, not

"AhI when will that some day be?

Bella, merTily.

thought Of her lover and the impregna-

them. "I-
ooh, CHS, / had almost forgotten why
/ paid you this nocturnal visit. 1t was
principally to present you with pair

anxious to see what sort of taste Daddy
has displayedI"
While Ethel is untying the small par
Gel sent to her, Bella explains that she
met Marsh (Ethel's maid) two or three
hours ago going towards her mistress's
room with tho packet in her hand.
Guessing the contents, Bell waylaid
her, and learned that while they were
seated round the old yule log, tasting
the time-honored wassail bowl, Captain
Vane had returned from town, and
sending his excuses to his host, had re-
tired TO his room, after ordering that
the small parcel directed to Miss Carl
ingford should be conveyed to herroom
before she went to rest.
$50 you see, dear, he INDUCES in sulki-
ness as well as in many more charming
and eccentric vices; but he is not stingy
anyhow, for he must have spent lot Of
money on these" And she snatched
from Ethel's hand white satin scented
sachet containing dozen Of the dainti-
est of pearl-gray gloves, the backs of
which were prettily embroidered with
silk Of u darker hue.
"They really are Beautiful, and your
fayorte color, tool How couldhe have

"Bellal BeIlal why did treat him so
heartlessly today"
Because you are thorough little
cOquette, and preferred rather to send
the man you care for away from you
than to humble yourself before him;
and you were quite right, my child!
Never show a man you are willing to
be his slave, or, most assuredly, he will
make you one" replied this demoiselle,
Oraculmly. Receiving no answer, Bell
again continued, Remember, slaves
make tyrantsl" and with this truism,
she lightly kissed her friend, and beg
ging her mot to sit up, making herself
pale and ugly" as she was fully con-
WINGED mo man on earth, not even
Charlie, was worth doing that for" she
left the room, and entering her own,
was soon enjoying the sweet sleep she
had SO strongly advised her less light
hearted companion TO seek.

The Cost of a BusheI of Corn.

There IS Statlstlciap about the Pal
mer house who desires to impress
every body with economic facts. Said
he Yesterday: DO you see that man
over there2 Well, he's farmer down
near Elgin. There he goes with a
friend; they're going to get drink.
The farmer will pay for it. Now, let
me see. That man will sweat two
mortal hours next spring to pillow
enough ground 10 raise one bushel of
corn. That bushel of corn he will
sell for 80 cents. He is going in there
now to spend the thirty cents for two
drinks. Therefore, the farmer and
the corn have parted. Now let me
tell you what becomes of the corn
A bushel OF corn makes seventeen
quarts of whisky-four and a quarter
gallons. The distillery gets its first
prolific cents gallon. There you
are; - for that bushel OF corn. Now
The government comes in, 80 cents a
gsllon-$3 SIS, added to the 81, makes
IS IS. That brings the product of
the bushel Of corn down to the job
Der and the wholesale and, finally, by
several stages, to the retailer. By the
time it reaches the latter the bushel Of
corn or its product of four and 2
quarter gallons has been reduced one
half, which means eight and half
gallons. There are sixty drinks 70 the
gallon-that is the average-eight and
half gallons mean 270 drinks at Is
cents eacE-there we have SAC 35 as
the consumers price for bushel of
corn, which the farmer raises and
sells for 80 cents. Who saws there is
no industry in this country? But the
farmer we saw Just now spent his
whole bushel of coru in the price of
two drinks, and the people who do
not till the soil get away with SAC IS.

The Crops and y Gather of 1885.
Kansas Farmer

The Department of Agriculture
has just sent out its report of crops
and weather for 1885 The figures
are the same as we gave two weeks
age: Wheat. 357. 112,0OO bushels,
corn 1896 lie, 900 bushels. The
wheat average was ten bushels to the
acre, and OF corn twenty-slx, the
highest in five years. Oats turned out
629 400 600. Rye suffered from win
ter killing, but not SO much as wheat
Barley and buckwheat were fair. Pc
tatoes a light crop and cotton not
above an average. The fax yield is
estimated at IL, 0C0,0C0 bushels. As
to pre- ductiveness IN general, the year
was fully up to the average, but prices
fell below.
AS to weather, temperature of April
was a full average on the Atlantic
coast and the Eastern Gulf States,
and still higher la the Western Gulf
States, in Tennessee, and in all the
region west Of the Missouri. 1t was
an average in the OHIO Valley, and
in the Mississippi Valley, and slig Chilly
below average in the lake region and
in Florida. May temperature was
uniformly lower than an average ia
the country east of the Rocky Noun
tain region, and higher thence to the
Pacific coast. In June temperature
was normal in the East. the South
Atlantic States. Western Gulf States,
but low in the Ohio Valley, the Lake
region. Upper Mississippi. and Mis-
souri, Valley, and extreme North west.
1t was nearly an average in July.
August was unusually cool through
out the west, and in September some
what below the average, except in the
Northwest.
Rainfall was deficient in April from
Pennsylvania to Florida, and especial
ly abundant in the Missouri Valley.
The May precipitation was about the
standard in all Of the States south of
New England, normal In the Ohio
Valley, and deficient in the Lake
regions and the Northwest; but the
low Lake region had an excess in
June, as did the East. the Lake region
and the Missouri Valley in August.
The Southern Atlantic States were
visited with extreme rainfalls in Sep
TENDER, while the quantity was small
north of Maryland. AS a whole, there
was a more equal distribution than
usual, and greater exemption from
drouths. Injuries 10 growing crops
were greater from floods and excess
sive moisture than from drouth.
