Cracks and Crevices.

A small crack or crevice in the poul.
try-house is apparently a very small
thing, but it is more dangerous to the
health OF the birds than II the whole
side OF the house was open. A bird
that is compelled TO roost near small
knot-hole in the boards composing the
walls OF poultry-house, will, in a ma
jority OF cases, come out the next morn
ing with swelled head and eyes, where
as. II it had been exposed to the open
air. on tree limb, it would have
escaped. We do not recommend the
tree limb as roosting place, however,
but we make the comparison TO show
how important 1t is TO prevent little
draughts or currents OF air from COM
ing in on the birds; 1t is not the degree
OF cold, or the exposure that does the
mischief, but the steady, constant cur
rent OF air that carries of the heat
from that portion Of the body II passes
over, and causes the bird to take a
heavy cold. The result Is hoarse

should Never Forget.

ShOul0 Never
There is a secrecy among Orientals
vhich is rarely equaled among Euro
peans. They live so entirely apart
and their manners and customs are so
totally opposite to those OF the white
masters of India that political move
ment may be on foot and have perme-
ated the masses before We are thorough
ly aware Of its importance. Thus any
outbreak would be sudden ana uneA-
pected. Although life and properly
under British rule is safeguarded oe-
yond all precedent in Oriental history
the race animosity exists, ana we arc
simply obeyed because India is no'
strong enough to resist Ihe dark'
skinned masses will never love their
white conquerors. This is fact whicn
should be ever present to the eyes Vi
oar administrators. We rule because
we are supposed to possess the power
TO enforce obedience; we are opeyeu
because OF the disintegrating force OF
caste prejudices, which prevent con-
certed action among the Indian races.
We're the 50,000,000 unanimous their
united action would turn us out. And
still we sleep unsuspiciously upon

compelled to hurry to their posts, with
out place OF refuge for their wives
and children. The railway station

CURIOUS CURRENCY.
Articles That Have at Some Time or Other

Almost every nation and tribe, as
we'll as every epoch, has it peculiar
currency. Not only gold, silver, copper,
brass, iron, lead and paper, but glass,
shells, beads. books, stones, soap, bits
OF various colored cloth and numerous
other articles have been used to repre-
sent money. The Burmese, Karens
and Ghans have no coined money, lead
and silver in bullion being the ordinary
tender in trade, weight and purity be-
ing the standard OF value. 1t must be
a curious spectacle to see a Burmese
