There are only sixty -four postal clerks on
Maine railroads. half of whom must be re-
tained for the next year at least, and 1t Is
said that nearly two hundred persons nave
applied for appointments to the thir'y-'~o
Positions, in the face of the fact that the
changes must be gradual on account OF the
long experience required to make good
postal clerk. As there are only sixty-four
places in the State, and as changes must De
made slowly, part of the present force De
permanently maintained, and some OF 'ne
old efficient clerks restored, it will be seen
that the two hundred applicants stand very

The officer in charge of the United

O. Pixies Peak passes his days in a
low, fiat building made of stone, and
anchored and bolted to the granite
bowlders. During the winter he has
no connection whatever with the rest

ascend to his station, and it is almost
impossible for him to GO down. Lee
Neriweather, who assembled the snow
covered mountain one July day, says
that the signal officers face wears that
c,reworn, depressed expression which
comes from unbroken solitude.

Crispus Graves, of Brunswick, was
tything man who had due concep-
ton of the importance of his office,
and took an honest pride in perform
ing its duties without fear or favor
He was lingering incarnation of the
OLD Puritanical spirit which had be-
come extinct in many parts of New
England before his time.
Every Sunday he took his station
in wall pew near the door of the an
Gent Brunswick meeting house, armed
with long pole and with whip stock
and LASH and neither man nor beast
guilty of disturbing the sanctity of the
Lords day could escape his vigilant
eye or remorseless weapons.
He was so years old; with the men,
bers of the congregation he evidently
had become accustomed to the new
dispensation and forgotten his old
part in the worship, when, one Sun
day forenoon in the summer, while
the minister was in the midst of his
long prayers, painting dog came trot-
ting up the aisle The spirit of the
old tything man was aroused. The
force of habit, though long disused,
once more asserted itself. Crispus
Graves was seen to solemnly rise up in
his pew, like the ghost of one of the
old colonial fathers, raise his knotty
cane and smite the intruding dog upon
his back.
"Yaoww
The cur uttered a loud yelp and
bounded out of the house of God.
Without the least change upon his
face old Crispus sat down and resumed
his attitude of devotion. The minister
did not pause in his prayer for an in
slant, but poured forth his resounding
periods as though nothing had hap
pened. The congregation was too de
vout to smile; and the traditions of
the pole and whiplash of the old days
kept the boys and girls from tittering.
The days service went on to the end
without further interruption.-Lewis-
ton Journal.

KEEPING POULTRY CLEAN,

A correspondent of the journal of Ag-
riculture says:
| find good way to keep down lice in
a hen house or coop is to cleanse the
movable parts by fire. l clean out the
nests and gather up the rubbish that will
burn. | then scrape of any filth that
may be in the roost, etc. Then set fire
to the straw and hold the roost in the
blaze one by one until they are smoking
hot. fill my nest boxes and coops one
half full of straw and wet them if they
are very dry. set it on fire and turn
the boxes down and let the flames creep
through every creyice.
use lime and carbolic acid to white
wash, one spoonful to the gallon of wash.
If there is any lime left in the bottom of
the bucket let it dry and put it in the
nest under the straw. | never have the
creepy lice that invest some hen houses
by the millions and | don't want them
For the lice that infest the bodies or head
used this spring sulphur and pyrethrum
powder. Pyrethrum alone will do when
fresh. If there is shed or any place
where the chickens congregate to sit and
wallOw, clean it out at least every two or
three weeks and every few days throw
coal ashes, if you have them, ii not a
few wood ashes into their wallows.
There seems to form a small powder of
filth in such place that creates disease,
besides being fine place for creepy lice.
A neighbor tells me these pests were
thick in wrens nest in their portico last
year. Perhaps wren's nest in the hen
house would bring them. l love the
birds, but l do not care to have such
pests through their agency.
When summer comes | shut my chick
ems out of the hen house and make them
take to the trees. A grove of low box
alders, so thick the branches mingle,
makes splendid summer resort night or
day. These trees are quickly raised and
quite handsome.
