Antiquity Of BOOSTERS.

The extreme antiquity of pedigree
boosted by the domestic fowl has gone
far to excite the favorable regard OF Bos-
ton people in its behalf. 1t is supposed
to have originated in Eastern Asia,
whence are derived, even to the present,
many of the finest breeds. The primi-
tive bird of five thousand years ago was,
probably, something like what IS known
to-day as the "Cochin"-a variety still
common among the Chinese, who have
always been great fanciers of poultry.
The ancient Egyptians kept hens and
were familiar with the principles Of arti-
fetal incubation, for which purpose they
employed ovens, heated by lamps to an
even temperature of LOG degrees. The
old Greeks and Romans had famous
strains of chickens. In their time cork
lighting was much in vogue. OF the
bantams they raised, Pliny speaks, re:
fcrring to them as "dwartish kind of
hen that is extra little and yet fruitful.
In Rome the poultry did not lack re-
spect and consideration. No magistrate
would open or close his doors before
their pleasure was known, and upon
their direction the imperial fasccs were
advanced, or contrariwisc. Accounts
were extant, in languages long dead, of
woody hens, which are SAID to have for
merly existed; or hairy hens Also and
of wingless and tailless fowls; of horned
roostcrs and other barnyard curiositics.
Unfortunately, however, like the dodo
and the great aux, they are all extinct.

The MAIDSTONE was Eficacious.

The wife of G. J. Scott, pastor OF the
colored Baptist church of Orlando. Fla,
was recently bitten on her foot by a
ground rattlesnake. j. r. Aud and Po-
liceman Jenkins hearing of the circum-
stance went to Dr. Chapman and pro-
cured maidstone belonging to NJ. c..
Rerdell and went out TO try the efficacy
of the stone Upon their arrival they
found the foot had swollen and was near
ly black, causing her much pain. She
could hardly be held in bed.
The stone was soaked in warm water
and applied to the wound, to which i.
adhered very firmly for few minutes,
when it drop. ed off. After being again
soaked in water and put to the place a
second time it adhered as firmly MS be-
fore. This was repeated several times,
until it would not stick any longer, when
the woman expressed herself as being
very much relieved. The swelling was
also perceptibly diminished. When the
stone was replaced in the water after
each application it would emit green
ish looking matter that came from the
pores. This same stone has saved three
lives previously with injuries
caused by mad dogs bites and one moe
casin snake.-Nso York Times.
