POULTRY HOUSES.

Poultry must be kept warm in winter
If you expect eggs, and, while warm, the
ventilation must be most thorough. IL
the house is battened the battens must
be kept well nailed. If there are cracks
they must be closed. Then line the in
side of the house with tar paper, and
also the sides and overhead. Provide
plenty of light. Then ventilation is
important. 1t must be ample M the top,
where the fowls roost. How this may
be accomplished in simple way is told
by correspondent of the Farmers Re
vicW, who holds that this can be easily
accomplished by making long box of
three six-inch fence boards. open at one
side. long enough to reach from foot
above the floor to the highest point in
the building. Fastcn this box against
the wall, with the open side to The wall,
the lower end foot above the floor.
Cut hole through the wall into the
box at the upper end and pat Il cap on
the upper end so that the opening will
be only TO the outside air. 'Ihi, will

which the fowls 90 in and ont will aid

But horse shod from the time he
was broken never acquires the natural
use OF his limbs and thc ability to ease
himself over slippery and rough roads
by the balance OF the body, or rather
the natural assistance one part may
give the other. Hence, unless this has
been learned by driving the colt and
young horse unshod, he must be edu,
Gated thereto before shoes may be even
partially dispensed with. This is best
accomplished in spring and summer.
To sum up the whole latter, on snow

even on roads not icy, and especially
hauling on stubble and average farm
soils, the horse is betterSiot shod. For
average work on city and country roads,
the horse is better with "A three-quarter
shoe. For heavy hauling in all kinds
of situations and complications there
has not been found a substitute for calks.
They are often made too long, but when
any essential change is made in the
system of shoeing both the horse and
driver must be educated to the changed
conditions. The horsepower, the
driver, and the sheer all require educa-
ton to the work in hand, and the veter-
mary schools giving the best practical
instruction on these points. in connec-
ton with the regular course of study,
will merit the attention of horse owners
and shoers.

RowdIes Create a Church Panic.

READING, Pa, Feb. 3.-The Evangelical
Chapel, near Speaces Church, several miles
from this city, was packed with people
Monday night. A rowdy element on the
outside smashed in the windows with clubs
and then pushed in long fence rail into
the chapel. 1t upset the pulpit and struck
the preacher just as he had closed his dis
course. Some of the lights were extin-
guisheds and at a cry of fire" men, women
and children became panic-stricken and
rushed for the door. A platform
chapel by those who could not
get IN was upset, and added to the excite
ment of the terror-stricken people. One
lady was seriously injured, and several
were slightly cutby broken glass or crushed
in the effort to get out. The riotous ele-
ment on the outside was about renewing
the demonstration when they were charged
upon by the friends of the church. The
battle which ensued, was short and sharp,
and the rioters, finding they were beaten
bach, turned and fled in the darkness.
Their names are being learned to-day, and
the entire gang will be arrested.

GETTING RID OF CHINESE.
A Mob In Oregon Attempting to Clear
Out a Town.

Out Town.
PORTLAND, OREGON, Feb. 7.-To-day, as If
by programme laid out, the Chinese are be-
Ing driven our of Seattle. 1t is understood
that the Knights of Labor are at the head of
the movement. The Chinese are marched
to the steamer Queen of the Pacific. lying
at the wharf, and the rioters pay steerage
passage to San Francisco for each China
man put aboard. The steamer plies regu-
larly between San Francisco and Puget
Sound. At this hour (2p. m. } about one
hundred, have been put aboard. The
Mayor of Seattle and other prominent
citizens have telegraphed to Vancouver
Barracks asking General Gibbon, COM
manding the Department of Columbia, for
troops. General Gibbon has te!egraphed
the War Department; Chief Justice Green;
Attorney General Garland, urging him to
use his Influence to have troops ordered to
Seattle. About p. m. the militia marched
down to Chinatown and took possession:
i | was was thoroughly deserted, except BY
allowed to remain temporarily. At
9 p. IN. b writ Of habeas corpus
was issued charging that the Cinnamon
were Illegally restrained of their liberty on
board of the steamer. The writ was made
returnable at 10 O'Clock this evening In
the meantime the steamer was enjoined
from sailing. The situation at this. hour
(9p. m.) is uncertain. A dismal rain is
falling, and the mob has largely dispersed.
The Cinnamon who are not on board the
steamer are huddled together on the ocean
dock. Two companies of militia are
patrollihg the streets. The Oregon
Improvement Company also has
eighty meh guarding its docks
and warehouses. The authorities are de-
termihed that no Chinarilan shall leave un-
willingly. Every effort will be made to
avoid bloedshed, but the most determina-
tion is expressed on this point. The troops
at Port TOWNSEND and Vancouver are ready
to move, and are only awaiting orders from
Washington. Much surprise is expressed
that the movement was arranged SO quietly.
The city is full of strangers, and it is hard
to tell whence they came. 1t is believed that
the plans were made in Tacoma, as many
prominent agitators from that place, as
well as reporters of both Tacoma papers
arrived here yesterday. Mayor Weisbach,
of Tacoma, is also here, and it is freely as
serted that he is engineering the movement.
The report that the Knights of Labor head
ed the mob to expel the Chinese seems to
have no foundation. While members of
that organization were in the mob, there is
no evidence whatever that the Knights as
an organization were connected with the
measure,

A Radical Change.

The people of the United States hard
ly understand, we should say. the
magnitude of the change which came.
over the country with the election of
Mr.. Cleveland in regard to one. very
important matter. Indeed, the change
is of such a character and has taken
place SO completely that the people
have adjusted themselves to it and do
not perceive the evidences of it without
some effort. We refer to the practical
disappearance from our politics of what
was known as the Southern question.
The first year of the new Admihistra-
ton has not yet passed. The Cabinet,
with its two prominent "rebel Briga.
diers" and the Delaware statesman who
was charged to the Confederate account,
has been unchanged. Congress has met
and reorganized. The public offices
have undergone considerable change.
The South has had full opportunity TO
assert that aggressive spirit which was
supposed to be ready to break out as
soon as the reins in the hands of Re-
publicans were relaxed, and yet the old
questions regarding the war and the
fruits OF the Union victory are to all in
tents and purpose not heard of. For
Mr.. Boutelle's ill-advised attempt to
receive the dead sectional issue was
met with such spirit and skill and good
sense ON the Democratic side that it
may be regarded as but momentary
and. wholly unsuccessful appeal to the
old passions. The business of the coun-
try is going on, not as well as we could
wish, certainly, but with no check and
and no disturbance that can be attrib-.
uted to the change in the Government
and none that any intelligent person
thinks of attributing to the influence Of
the South.-N. Y. Times.

DEMONS WORK.
Deliberate Attempt to Burn Seven
Men Alive.
East st. Louis the Place of the Crime
Frightful Scene in the Night.

EAST ST. LOUIS, Feb 5.-A terrible at
tempt upon human life was pefpetrated
last night. Shortly after 10 O'Clock fire in
a shahty near the railroad tracks was dis
covered. The glare of light attracted the
attention of all the railroad men who hap
pened to be out They ran toward the
place, and, as they did SO, they heard
shrieks, groans and cries, telling that
human beings were held there in the fiery
cage, unable to escape. There was a
rush to the door, and it was forced in,
when two men staggered out. Other men
were dragged out Unconscious. The faces
OF the victims were blackened, and long
strips of flesh peeled off, presenting hor.
pdd RI sight There were seven men taken out
strolled into the shanty in order to warm
up, and were sitting around the stove
talking, when suddenly the stove seemed
to burst open and the flames went all about
the room, enveloping the men before they
could only beat about with their hands
and struggle with each other in the endeav-
or to get to the exit. They grappled with
each other and thus impeded their escape,
an. and It. =, seemed an eternity before they
rescue. They remembered very distinctly
that they smelled coal oil as the flames
burst around them. The strange man.
ner in which the fire started can only
be accounted for on the ground
that some wretch poured oil down
the chimney to the stove. Near the back
OF the shanty, on the ground, was found
tin can, which had evidently contained
coal oil. The names of the unfortunate
men are: Morris McGlynh, James Donohue,
VIM. Gilkie, Pat. Boyle, Scott Sanderson,
Joseph McGee, Fred. Erickson. They are
all fearfully burned, but whether or not
any OF them are necessarily fatally in
jured can not be known as yet.

A Great Street Car Strike.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE men on the
Broadway, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh av-
enue struck to-day because of the refusal
Of the company. to operate the road ac-
cording to the recently adopted time
schedule. Six hundred drivers and conduc.
tors and 200 stablemen and hitchers em.
ployed by the Broadway and Seventh ave.
nue. Railroad Company quit work at
midnight. The difficulty on the Fourth
avenue road was adjusted late in the after.
noon. The company agreed to a fixed sched-
ules of trips which will constitute days
work, and the pay for which shall be SO
per day. Stablemen, hostlers and switchers
are to work twelve and half hours,
with two hours for meals. Old
employees will receive S12 per week,
and new men sl1.50 per week the first six
months. The cars began running soon
after o'clock. During the afternoon the
Broadway and Seventh-avenue line ac-
ceded to the demands of its men for S225
per day for twelve hours for drivers and
conductors, and S12.25 per week instead of
S11.5O for hostlers and stablemen. The
cars began running about 2:30 p. m. These
terms begin February 15.

POWDER AND DYNAMITE.
Explosion at Two Shafts of the
Croton Aqueduct.
Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds of Forcite
Shovs Its Explosive Capacity-General .
Demolition with Loss of Life.

I NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-This morning the DOW
der-house of Shanly, Sarrell & Co. ex-
ploded at Shaft No. % of the new aqueduct,
on the Fordham Landing road, shattering
q boarding shanty and severely injuring
two men. Michael McGinnis, who was
In charge of the powder-house, is missing.
The cause Of the explosionIis unknown. The
lshock was felt for radius of many miles
IN all directions, and 1the damage to the
surrounding neighborhood was heavy.
The people thought an earthquake
was upon them, and many left their
houses. It is stated that one man was
killed outright and another badly injured.
These two were in charge of the magazine.
Eaere was in the shanty two hundred and
The building was blown into fragments, il
being difficult to find piece of It as much
as foot long. Fragments of the stove
were found seven hundred feet away. Three
boarding shanties at some distance away,
in which forty laborers, mostly negroes,
and Italians, were sleeping, were
moniousiy tumbied out Of their beds.
Nothing except the fimsy character of the
one person was seriously hurt. McGinnfs
has not been seen since, nor has the least
trace Of his remains been discovered. 1t is
not believed that he could have been SO
stain could have been discovered, and
It is therefore suspected that he was un-
hurt, and fearing that he would be held
responsible for the calamity, ran away.
Ranging at distances of a mile to q
mile and half from the scene of the
explosion are many beautiful and costly
residences, including those of ex-Mayor
Edison and H. B. Claflin. All of them umore
or less severely felt the shock. Panes of glass
were broken, crockery was ratified, pictures
were thrown from walls, and in some in
stances persons were thrown from their
beds. The general impression for miles
around was that it was an earthquake. 1t
was felt all over Long Island, and the shock
was much more severe than that of tho He'll
Gate explosion.
YoNKERR, N. Y, Feb. b.>a-whiie two
dynamite cartridges were being thrown out
at Shaft No. 1S15 OF the new Croton aquduct,
this afternoon; they exploded with loud
report and destroyed the small building in
which they were TO be used, and in which
only few moments before number of
men had been eating their dinners. No one
was injured. About thousand pounds Of
Dynamite was stored at the shaft in a
frozen state, but fortunately it did not
explode.

GOVERNMENT WAGES.

A Suggestion That the Remuneration
Should Not Be Higher Than II the Em-
ployes Were Private Individuals"
There was force in the suggestion Of
the printers employed in the Govern
ment Printing Office at Washington
that they were as well entitled to higher
wages than were paid to printers in
private employ as the clerks in tho
departments are to higher salaries than
individuals and private corporations
pay for the same kind of work. The
force OF the suggestion is not Of kind
to strengthen the demand of the print
ers. II does not show or tend TO show
that they should receive higher wages
for their work because they are In Gov
ernmerIt service than they would for
the same work in private employ. Bat
it does show that the Government clerks
should be governed by the same rule.
1t is not surprising that honest arti-
sans and workingmen IN the service not
only of the United States but Of the
State and the city, should have their
attention called to the fact that Gov
ernmenlt clerks are better paid than
clerks in private life. Nor is It very
surprising that they should conclude
that they should receive similar con-
sideration. But the true remedy for
the irregularity is not in making the
workingmen employed by Governmens
favored class. It is in putting the
clerical force upon aproper basis In the
matter of wages. at4
There is no sound reason why the
Government of the Nation, the State.
or the city, should pay any more for
the service it requires than q private
individual would have to pay for the
same service. And if it were not for
the spoils system any overpaymcnt Of
public employees would be condemned
so strongly and generally that it could
not possibly be- continued. But for
that system, indeed, the notion of such
overpayment could never have got it
self established in practice. If 4 had
never come to be regarded as neces-
sary that a Government servant should
bear particular party label, or that
his employment should depend upon
considerations wholly distinct from his
capacity or fitness, the idea of paying
| him any more than a private employe
would never have been entertained for
| a moment
If the civil service ever reaches the
point-as it one day may--of absolute
divorce from politics and the spoils
| system, this discrimination between
public and private employment, which
| is one of the worst effects of the sys-
tenn, will be wiped OUT A govern,
| ment wholly free in the manner Of se-
lecting its employees will not consent to
pay more for service rendered than
| private employers do.-Detr0it Free
