SUCCESS WITH FOWLS.
How to Make the Egg Business One of
 Profit and Pleasure.

How to Make the Egg Business One of
 Profit and Pleasure.
 Success with fowls, kept exclusively for their eggs, is gained only by con- stant care for their cleanliness and con- fort They must have variety of food, a good, large run, with opportunity to exercise, or be forced to take exercise in scratching for their feed, as upon floor covered with chaffed straw. They may be kept safely in focks of seventy to one hundred, but the larger the flock the more danger there is from disease and from thieves. The free use of car bolic acid is great safeguard. It may be applied in SawduSt or clay, the dry material being moisrened by the car bolic acid thoroughly stirred into it. The Jess of the carbolc acid that is used the better, provided every particle of sawdust or of dry clay has its quota. This disinfectant thus prepared, may be used in the nests, in the dusting box, upon the floors, under the roosts, etc. It is fatal alike to parasites and to ten dency to disease in most cases. It can not be depended upon in dirty houses, for fermentiDg manure, receiving fresh additions constantly, will overpower almost any dlsinfectant that could be safely used.
 By spading or blowing up portion of the runs frequently, fowls gain healthful exercise and find a few grubs and worms, and with breeds of fowls, which are active by nature, exercise means eggs, and incidentally, perfect health. .-An1erican AgricuLturiSt.

Three Zunis Indians have arrived in this city for the purpose of aiding MT. Frank H. Gushing, the ethnologist, who is spending several months in Boston and its neighborhood, and who is now en- gagged in making dictionary and gram mar of the Zuni language, describing the philosophy and theory, etc. It is expected that the result of his work will not only have high scientific value, but will contribute essentially to the fund of knowledge needed for the solution of important practical questions before the world to-day, affording better under standing, not only of mans primitive condition and history, but also of the various aspects of Indian administra- tion, and the needs of the Indians in order to advance them toward eiYiliza- ton. .-Bostoa 1rgnscrspt

MADE BY A CENT.
The Strange Story of a Wretched Tramp's
 Rise to Aff1 uence.

The Strange Story of a Wretched Tramp's
 Rise to Aff1uence.
 Into small crack of the ledge of the toll-window at the South-side end of the Smithtield street bridge are firmly driven two copper cents. They are tarnished and dull, and probably never are mo- ticed by the hundreds who daily pass their pennies over them.
 Yet these two cents have rather a TO- mantle history, which was rehearsed to reporter by ''Dick" Porter, the genial night collector. "ThiS one," he said, pointing to one whose edge was just visible, twas owed to me for thirteen years. In the spring of 1872 man named Charles Henderson came to me about ten o'clock at night, and said he wanted to cross the bridge, bat was busted He declared upon his honor that he would pay me back the cent. That's an old game, and if I've heard that promise once I've heard it a thou sand times.
 ''I never expected to get the cent, and l told him he could go over. He asked me for piece of paper, and taking oGt his pencil wrote his name at the end of a note drawn in my favor for one cent, payable at sight. The idea of giving a note for one cent struck me as rather amusing, and instead of throwing it down put it carefully away and then forgot all about it.
 ''One night, about year ago, we'll dressed gentleman came over the bridge and stopped at my window.
 '''Is there a gentleman here named Richard Brokaw?' he inquired. l told him that was my name.
 z {" Well, I've come to pay a note l owe you,' he said. l thought the man must be crazy Icouldn't even remem- Der ever seeing him, much less lending him any money. Observing my puzzled looks he said:
 "'Do you remember one nightthirteen years ago poor man came to you and asked you to pass him over the bridge because he had no money; then he gave you a note for one cent, signed Charles Henderson? Well, I'm Charles Hen derson. Iwant to pay that cent with interest. At the regular rate of interest for that time the interest would almost equal the principal, so I'll just give you two cents.
 "'After I left you l beat my way on freight trains to the West, where l went to work as a common laborer on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Twas soon made section boss, and was gradually promoted until now l hold one of it's best offices. If you had not lent me that cent 1 could not have gone to Pittsburgh, nor worked the freight cars, nor gone to work on the railroad, nor been what 1 am now. That cent made me.
 ''He then gave me long history of his life, and, after leaving his address and telling me to write to him if 1 ever needed friend, he left me. He wanted to give noe nice sum or money but wouldn't take it. I never have heard from him since, except one day got g paper which stated that he had beer elected mayor of one of the most thris ing cities of the West Pll not par with those two cents for any money but they'll stay in that window sill as long as 1 stay here. Here is yOul ehange; good night. Pittsburgh Ca sstts

SNAKES IN TROUBLE.
How an old Farmer Cleaned Out an Army
 of RIack-Snakes.
LMiddleburgh tPa.l Post.l


 Mir. Wills. Weller, residing about two miles south of Middleburgh, at the foot of Shade Mountain, while engaged in clear ing piece of new ground on his farm on Thursday of last week, was terribly an- noyed by the number of black-snakes on the patch. Some he killed, but great many escaped his ''brush fork" and near ly all ran in the direction of large brush pile in the corner of the patch and close to bank over a spring which was covered by thick growth of underbrush. He concluded to investigate matters little, and it did not take him long to satisfy himself that he had struck colony of the reptiles which had taken harbor under the pile of dry brush.
 He noticed a particularly large one basking in the sun few yards from the place, and he proceeded to get rail from the fence with which to despatch 1t, but In doing so he broke one of the stakes on the fence. The noise caused by the breaking of the stake evidently aroused the sleep ing reptiles, and he witnessed pertecu volley of snakes starting from under the thick underbrush into the brush pile. He stood rivited to the spot with astonish. ment, and looking up saw no less than twenty snakes of all sizes sticking their | heads out of the brush pile. Remember ing that he had used a bundle of long straw for seat on his ''stone boat" he hastened to get it, and setting it on fire, | east 1t over the brush.
 Tn an instant the whole pile was one blaze, and he then witnessed a scene which he says no one would ever care tc behold again. The heat was so intense that none of the reptiles could possibly escape, and they rolled out of 1t black, blinded and scorched, biting at every thing they touched, and in most instances died with their fangs fastened in theil own charred bodies-evidently preferring suicide to death in the flames. Some darted from the outside into the fire madly striking at the flames, until theii bright black coats had been turned into an ashen gray by the heat. In fftee1 minutes smouldering stump was all tha' was left of the brush pile. He was abou to leave the spot, when he ventured t' look into the stump, which was hollow where, covered by a thin layer of ashes lav no less than bucketful of snakes, re- sembling huge sausages in large crock roasted just hard enough to cause th' flesh to drop of.
