What do you suppose is the annual
saloon bill of Brooklyn? You will
hardly believe until prove it to you
1t is between sixteen and twenty mil
lions Of dollars. A sum so vast thai
we must needs break it up into small
Ter sums TO get any particular idea OF
it. First, let me show you how
reach the result. There are a little
less than 5000 licensed saloons in
our city. Now it is ar under and
not an over estimate TO put these
three thousand saloons at SIS Per
day for three hundred and sixty five
days in the year. Indeed, a saloon
keeper to whom these figures were re
Gently shown declares that a saloon
cannot live upon an average receipt
of less than $50 per day. Three
thousand saloons at SIS per day
make grand total of $40, 5,5, 900
per annum. This is easily within the
lines. 1t is more likely $40, 900, 900.

1t is a fact but little known to people who
keep poultry that the first part of hen
which becomes disarranged on the approach
of disease is the ovaries, or egg-producing
organs. Excess of fat, exposure to wet and
cold, poor condition, shedding feathers, i'm
proper food, want of exercise or lack of GER
tain elements in the food to develop the
embryo egg will all produce the same effect
and cause the hens to stop laying. 1t can
not be laid down as an iron-clad " rule
that when hen ceases laying 1t is posi-
tive symptom she will soon be sick, but it
can be stated with the utmost assurance that
something is wrong or she would not cease
laying for weeks, and often months. The
annual egg product per hen in this country
ranges from three to eight dozen each. Now
this is by far too small, There is no earthly
reason why every hen that lays at all
should not be made to lay from ten to fifteen
dozen eggs each per year, and continue to
do so for at least five years. We know of
parties who get eggs at that rate in mid
winter in our cold climate. How to get eggs
in cold weather interests every person who
keeps hens. Mr.. Charles Raymond of New
Canaan, Conn, writes under date of March
s, 1887 81 had excellent results from
feeding SHERIDAN's POWDER TO my seven
teen hens. In December they laid pa eggs
in January, III, and in February, IA.
People around here who have three and
four times the hens | have land who did
not use Sheridan's Powder did not get one
quarter as many eggs" |. S. Johnson x
Co, % Custom-house street, Boston, Mass.
are the only manufacturers of SHERIDAN s
POWDER to make hens lay. If you can not
get it of your nearest druggist or general
store-keeper johnson q Co. will send the
powder by mail or express TO any address
charges prepaid, IA follows: For fifty cents
in stamps, two small packs; for Sl.00, five

fourth pound can will he sent (six cans for
$500, express prepaid, to any express office

IMPORTANT
Silk Sale!

Department.
A mark-down sale in that de
partment means lots of dollars
less to us and lots of dollars
saved to you. To tell about it
all takes time, because it is the
greatest department of its kind
in New England.
To-day we add more infor-
nation to what we have already
given you.
Our BLACK SATIN RIA
DANES are made by one of
the best manufacturers in this
country. OF course Rhadames
are splendid wearing Silks.
But what specially commends
ours over ALL OTHERS is the
brilliancy in color and the soft,
smooth, fine touch, the general
beauty in appearance-so far
superior to the dull, lusterless,
stiff Rhadames of other makes.
Every yard Of our Black
Satin Rhadames, heretofore
sold at SLIP I-2 and SI.oo, we
have dropped right down to
| EIGHTY-NINE CENTS for
the month of January only.
We believe these goods, at
the old prices, are the best for
the money in America. OF
course at the clean-cut price for
this month they are the great
est silk bargains of the day.
We can not hel p speaking of
that most excellent silk, CHE
NEY BROTHERS SPECIAL
BRAND of BLACK FAILLE,
of which we have now about
five hundred yards only.
That we sell at SI.75 per
yard. There is no possibility
of this bargain lasting the
month out, for you could not
find anywhere bargain that
could approach these goods,
specially made for us, and that
are warranted not to crack, pull
at seams or grow shiny.
A GREAT SILK at a LOW
PRICE during the month of
January.
We want to impress on your
mind the great value of this
Silk. In the first place Che
ney's Silks never wear out.
They made this Silk to sell for
S2.25, and at that price they
were sold for a long time-so
little money to the manufac-
turers, at that price, that they
discontinued making them and
went on to handkerchiefs and
draperies.
At our urgent solicitation,
they made us enough for this
seasons trade. We own every
yard of them made, and we sell
them during January for ONE
DOLLAR SEVENTY FIVE
CENTS PER YARD.
January will also see the last
of our Black and White, Black
and Gold, Black and Sapphire
Satin and Faille Stripes and
Plaids-just the thing for skirts,
or skirts and draperies in COM
bination. Best in the world
for remodeling any black silk
or wooden costume. Have been
popular all the year through.
Were made to sell for $500
