A Homemade Brooder.

People who raise many chickens find
a good brooder very useful institu-
ton. There are many plans for max
ing them, from which we select the
description of a good one that can be
easily made: Make floor of match
ed lumber, on the strips, leaving a
hole two inches square in the center,
around which fasten tube four
inches high. Then make cover two
feet and eight inches square. Set on
four legs. Along the edges tack
strips of flannel, slashed every two
inches. Place this on top of the
brooder. Set lamp under the holes
left in the tube, and over the chicks,
while the floor at the same time is
quite warm. Such an apparatus,
properly constructed and managed,
fills the bill of a good brooder.-New
York Witness.

Good Use for House Stops.

If you save all the Stops from the
house. the wash-water and suds of
sundry occasions during the week, you
will find that you have a supply of
nutriment at hand to draw upon
which is far richer than you had any
idea. 1t will not make poor soil
permanently rich, but it will afford
sufficient nutriment TO nourish such
plants as you grow in it during the
summer in very satisfactory man
ner. We planted some ANIMALS on a
stiff clay that had been thrown out
of a cellar. We water them regular
ly with suds and Stops, and they
surpass in growth and Righteousness,
those grown in the garden.-Ameri-

GERMANY ARD FRANCE.
what Gcncr n Woiseiey Thinks Of the Ar.
nlLa.. AZ Inn IANn ConmLrlna.


| take the German army rs the high
est existing typo Of tho military system
and organization which the changes
effected in armies by the French reyo-
luton have led up TO, and much rs |
admire lIt army as Il soldier, | admire
it still mo-n "a acitizen. Great as it is
for war, it IL indefinitely greater as a
national school for the moral, mental
and physical training OF the people.
Designed eXclu lively for war. it has be-
come the most important OF peace in
situations. In il MI Germans are train
ed to strength and and taught the first
principles OF personal cleanliness and
OF health. There they learn TO be
honest and manly. and are taught the
excellence of those virtues which sorve
to make men good subjects and law
abiding citizens. 1t is the school OF
the nation, in which deep love OF
fatherland is fostered and cherished,
and where all classes learn that there
is honor in obedience and nobility in
self-sacrifice The principle that merit
should be adequately rewarded, which
according to Carlyle was the uncon-
scious desire OF the French revolution,
is realized almost perfectly in the Ger
many army of to-day. The German
non-commissioned officer after serving
twelve years with the colors, knows
that he will be offered civil employ
ment on the railways or in the police
or customs forces, and that this civil
generally with better pay attached
TO it, than he would have been
at all likely to reach in the
open competition of life. And so he
devotes himself TO his duties when in
the army with an ardor elsewhere I'M
known. 1t is common complaint in
France, on the other hand, that their
non-commissioned officers are not as
good as they might be, and that they
are not extremely energetic may, per-
haps, be inferred from the fact that
their energy is not afterward rewarded
by an assured and high place in civil
life. Furthermore, it is said that the
gentlemen volunteers OF one year are
not the source OF strength they should
be to the French army. In Germany
these young gentlemen, we hear, are
required to live for six weeks or so in
the barracks with the common soldiers,
but after this period, in which they are
supposed to have learned the routine
of barracks life, they are allowed to
take private lodgings, and so relieved
from the companionship which is dis
tasteful to them. In France the volun-
teer is compelled to pass his year in the
Chambree, side by side with the peas
ant or workingman, who he not infre-
quently subsidies and turns into SER
want. In France the spirit of equality
seems here to be pushed little too far,
and we are informed the result is that
the gentleman volunteer becomes dis
contented. while the private soldier is
not benefited. But however real these
causes of complaint may be, it can
scarcely be denied that in Germany,
and in France also, the army
is the great training school of the
nation in virtues which can not be too
highly esteemed. General Wolseley,
in Fortnightly Review.

The American Dairyman is in
favor of the passage of State law
compelling every owner of bull, to
saw the horns off the animal. 1t is
also in favor of making the bull
work, same as an OK. We have often
favored that idea; but AZ the same
time most farmers have eschewed
the OK as working animal, and so
they are not prepared to work a bull,
simply to keep him docile. We have
proposed cheap way, and that is to
put him on tread wheel, that can
be made for $40, and let him walk
himself into docility. If, desired
machinery could be attached so that
the bull could be made to pump,
churn, cut feed, or saw wood. He
could be broken to draw a cart, and
thus made to be useful in drawing
silage from the pit, and taking ma.
nure from the stable. If a right
down good one-and no other should
be suffered to live-he should be
kept till he is 20 years old. Lots OF
bulls, worth more than a gold mine,
have been slaughtered willie young,
because they have been pampered in
to ugliness, by being kept in laziness
After they were dead, their great
worth was revealed in their progeny

HUMOR ON WHISPERS.
Peculiar Observations Made by a Dis
gruntled Philosopher.

What is there that is so tremendous
ly funny about the word whiskersP
Instance where the use of it will not
raise laugh are hard to find. Hard
as the fact may be TO explain, it is
nevertheless true that jokes in which
whiskers, or reference TO them, no
matter how irreievantly made, excite
moro merriment than any other form
Of witticism under the sun. A, let us
say, who is smooth shaven, meets b,
who rejoices in flowing set of jowl
trimmings. "Ha," says A, you're
looking pretty fine this morning. b;
whiskers are well, / see." Whereupon
A laughs uproariously and strides off
leaving sure that a good thing has
been said, but slightly mystified as to
its general purport. In the theater the
word is indispensable to the low COM
edian. In play | witnessed some lit
tie time ago one OF the comedians
walked on the stage wearing long set
of gray whiskers. ''Golly," cried the
second comedian, who was standing
near by, "what chance for the wind!'
Whereat the parquette Uttered, the
balcony laughed and the gallery howl
ed itself into fits. For the boarding.
house funny man to remark that 1.-The
butter has whiskers on it, is to ensure
him round OF applause from his friends
at the table, while If he makes the OBJ
servation that the tardy dude Of the
establishment, who is late for dinner, is
"combing his whiskers, ;" his reputation
as wit will be firmly established for
all time. 1t is all very wonderful, but
very mysterious. Perhaps, in order to
understand the full amount OF humor
contained in a reference to whiskers, it
is necessary to wear them. 1t is almost
worth while raising set to find it out.

A Want Supplied.

We observe that shorthand writer
has been appointed to perform that kind
of work at the Supreme Court, a service
which has been greatly needed, and
where accurate verbatim reports are in
dispensable. Mr.. Lee, the new lncum-
bent, arrived from San Francisco by the
Zealandia; and he has already proved
himself correct and rapid shorthand
reporter, and also very expeditions
operator of the type-writing machine.
These qualities render his services in
valuable to the Court, and the bar; and
also great help to the press in getting
matter that would not otherwise be re-
ported. Without this additional assist
ance the recent trials would not have
been so fully nor so quickly reported as
they have been; and the ADVERTISER
gives Mr.. Lee credit for valuable assist
ance, and also congratulates the Court
on the acquisition of an assistant, whose
services cannot fail to be appreciated by
the bench, the bar and the public.

Where the Daily Paper Went.

An officer on the Cincinnati police
force, named Smartwood, lately met
with peculiar species of criminal.
He told it to a reporter Of the city.
Recently when I was walking on my
beat, that was then in the western
part of the city, paper-car1ier came
to me and said that somebody was
stealing the papers left every morn
ing on certain doorstep before the
subscriber got chance to see them.
The gentleman had lectured the
carrier; so I determined to watch the
house. The next morning I concealed
myself opposite and saw the carrier
leave his papers. In few minutes
a big black Newfoundland dog from
the adjoining yard vaulted the fence
and picked up the papers in his
mouth. He then jumped the fence
and disappeared in the back yard.
The next morning I gave him tip
with my club; and after that he left
the papers severely alone. The dogs
master, whom I could not trace, must
have taught the animal the smart
trick.

A strange afterglow has appeared in
the western heavens the last two even
ings. On Saturday, Immediately after
sunset, the glow was of a silvery color
with faint yellow tinge, and covered
the south western sky from the horizon
to about forty degrees upward. On Sun
day the glow was of light red hue, and
was somewhat farther to the north than
on Saturday. 1t was also seen longer
being visible until about p. m. These
unusual appearances, of course, indicate
something; but what it is, had not tran
spired up to the time we went to press.

Quick Work.
Saturdays game at Makiki between

one of the best of the season, and no
doubt the quickest ever played in this
city, occupying only one hour and twelve
minutes. A large number of people
filled the grand stand and grounds, while
the Band occupied it's usual position and
played popular airs during the game.
The Honolulus were in good condition
and played as they generally do, game
to win. The Hswaiis played in hard
luck, but nevertheless a strong game.
Both batteries did credit to themselves
while the infelds and outfelds were
likewise creditable. In fact both clubs
throughout played excellent Messrs.
Boardman and Wall umpired the game
which finished up satisfactorily to all
present. Following is the score:
