One mistake made with selling
fowls is in growing them to a large
size before selling. The best weights
are from three to four pounds each.
The demand is greater for such
weights, as many buyers have found
the larger sizes more expensive. Com.

there is, of course, demand for choice,
large fowls. yet the smaller ones sell
more rapidly.

Bad for the Blondes.

DR.. Beddoe Is responsible for state
ment which is at once novel and SUR
prising. He declares that the chances
OF dark women obtaining husbands are
to those Of fair women in the proportion
of three to two; and that this conclusion
is proved by statistics. Certainly this
is in opposition to the general idea up
on the subject. For every dark hero
Inc OF n novel there are twenty fair
ones; while, although few poets may
have sung the praises OF dark beauties,
those who have celebrated the charms
OF fair ones are vastly more numerous.
Among the lower classes of English, in
deed, there is general prejudice
against dark-haired women, 1t being n
fixed idea that they possess infinitely
worse tempers than fair women. Were
DIR. Beddoe's theory correct that three
brunettes marry to every two blondes,
it would certainly be found that almost
every unmarried lady past the age of
thirty belong to the latter category,
which is certainly not the case. AT the
same time the fact that the hair of the
people of this island is becoming dis
tinctly darker than it was is one that
can not be denied. Persons who can
look back half century will be ready
to admit the change in this respect. For
every red-haired person to be seen now
ten would have been met with fifty
years back; and if the change continues
at the same rate in another half century
red-haired people will have become so
uncommon that red-haired lady will
be one of the most attractive figures in
country show. From what cause this
arises we are unable to say; but we can
not think that DR.. Beddoc's theory that
three men out of every five prefer dark
women to fair is correct one.-LOn-

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress Of
BRANDRETn's PILLS, which, after u trial of
over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic and alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS perform ali that is
claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's Pulls are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.
