Austria and Italy also suggests mill
tary alliances that seem to promise
easy victories Therefore young mill
tary men are all in great excitement,
and seem to imagine that their young
Emperor-King is going to lead them
all to glory in very short time I'm
fortunately for them. and for man
kind at large, the real truth is
not published. OF course, in the
German press any attempts at criti-
cism are altogether out of the ques-
ton; but even in the English journals
we have sycophantic accounts that are
not creditable to what should be the
impartial and enlightened guides of
public opinion. We are made to be-
lieve that the young Emperor William
distinguishes himself, shows himself a
great and powerful monarch, and is re-
ce1ved with unanimous applause. Such
is not the case. Undoubtedly so far
the Emperor has displayed certain
kingly qualities; has given proof of
some strength of will and some apti-
tude for work. But how long will this
last? We are told of his manly pres
ence, but We do not find mention of the
cottonwood pads that fill his ears to
keep the outer air away from the ulcers
that at any moment may affect his
brain. Then there are the racking
neuralgia pains that keep him awake
all night and make him get up at UNI
told hours in the morning. On such
occasions he seeks to forget his
sufferings by making surprise visits
to barracks. where he does not
fail to vent the ill-humor caused by pain
on any one whom he may find at fault.
These are the freaks of sickly man.
Who shall measure the political i'm
portance of such sicknessp Who shall
say how soon this young life may be
cut off? and then what will, what can
happenP The German people cheer
for the Kaiser; they are taught that
all authority, all greatness, all power,
should be concentrated in the one hand
on the Kaiser, and nature, as if to
prove how false, how wrong, is such
doctrine, strikes both father and son
with grave constitutional maladies, so
that the one could only reign few
months. These are considerations
which are forgotten by the gushing
writers who describe the royal pag-
eants, and yet who shall say but that
they are not much more important
than the uniform the sovereigns wore

POULTRY-YARD ERRORS.

Seemingly Small Matters A1l-Important
to Success in Chicken Raising.
Many errors are liable to occur with
beginners at poultry raising, for even
the veterans are not free from mistakes
at times. In selecting the breed a
large majority pay greater regard to
color and shape than to more desirable
qualities. 1t is we'll to know that the
characteristic of the breeds should be
understood if no mistakes are to occur.
But, after a breeder has become per-
fectly familiar with all that pertains to
his choice of fowls. the common routine
of the poultry yard next requires at
tention. The times of feeding should
be regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose. but they
are very few who Systematically
feed their fowls. Water should
be kept in the presence of poultry
at all times, and it should not only be
clean and pure, but fresh, and yet this
important matter is overlooked by
many. Warmth in winter is very es-
sential to laying, being as important as
a full supply of feed, but every fowl
house is not warm and comfortable.
The prevention of dampness in the
house avoids roup, which is a terrible
scourge in flock, but the small leaks
here and there are not regarded as
dangerous matters by the average
breeders. Even the height of the roosts
and construction OF the nests have
more Or less tendency to effect the
profits from poultry than many may
suppose, for high roosts cause de-
formed feet, and poor nests will not be
occupied by the hens if they can
get better places in which to lay.
These things are seemingly small mat
tiers. which are usually overlooked,
but they are important to success.
Why poultry should be expected to
prove profitable without care more
than other stock is what we do not UNI
derstand, and the fact that a profit is
derived from a flock that has been
overlooked, is strong proof that poul-
try raising can be made to pay well
when conducted by thoughtful, atten-
tive persons. 1t is the small matters
that should receive careful attention,
as the observance of method and sys-
m is sure to prove beneficial at all

SELF EDUCATION.
What Prof. Swing Has to say About It's
Numerous Advantages.

What Prof. Swing Has to say About It's
Numerous Advantages.
One of the advantages of self-educa-
ton lies in the fact that it permits a
strong will to follow a personal taste.
An explanation of the great success
often of what are called self-made men
may be found in their freedom to fol-
low the path of most attractiveness.
Many a mind is diverted by the father
or mother or by the dignity of col
lege course and faculty, from the chan
mel for which nature fitted it, and thus
a genius dies, not of neglect, but of
too much attention. The good of
college consists partly in its being
worlds exposition of mental wares.
The student can see and taste all the
kinds of fruit that grow on all the
trees of knowledge. Each professor
stands for a department of study and
action. Each conspicuous student is
made eminent by some mental quality
of mind or form of acquisition. Thus
the taste and drift of life are not settled
by the fact of an uncle, but upon the
broader basis of having seen the many
paths in which genius may tread. By
the time the student has entered his
junior year he should begin to suspect
what he is good for, and should begin
to bestow some extra attention upon
all that would fit him for that pursuit.
The man who spends his Junior and
senior years upon simply the college
course will never astonish or benefit
society much in his manhood life. If
a youth finds himself unable to 60 to
college, he need not feel that all is
lost, or that half or third is lost.
Self is the all. 1t is that something
which rises above the school house

WEIGHT OF BRAINS.


A Study That lSeArs Directly Upon tho
Questios of intellectually.
The average human brain weighs
~fOrty-ninc or fifty ounce in the male
and about forty-five me in the fe-
male. Great brain weight is not Al
GAYS associated with intellectual vigor.
as is shown by the fact that IN idiot is
known to have had u brain Of over sixty
ounces in weight. But nOtwith>tand-
in. the evidence Of such cases rs that
of the idiot referred to. great mental
power is generally associated with u
brain weight exceeding the average.
Cuvier's brain weighed sixty-four
ounces. Bat Gambetta's brain weighed
less than the average wopian's brain.
which is. Of course. peculiar because of
his great intellectually. a strange
problem is developed by Il comparison
of the average weight of the male and
female brains with the minimum weight
of each within the range of %inteIli-
gence. The average weight Of the fe-
male brain is about five ounce les
than the average weight of Il mans
brain. Ii the weight Of the brain were
an infallible gauge IF intellect the av-
erage woman would. so to speak. hive
five ounces less intellect than the aver
age man. But the weight of brain in
a man below which idiocv exists is
about five ounces higher than it is in i
woman. This is what presents the
problem. If. say. thirty ounces Of
brain in a woman saves hev from i,liocy
and thirty-five ounces are requisite in

of five ounces OF brain weight i excess
OF the average in woman? The con

Seeing His guidance in each earthly lot.
