Road Dust for the Fowls.

One of the things of prime Importance
for the health of fowls, and without
which they can not be kept in an i'm
proving condition, is that they shall at
all times have free access to dry earth OF
dust, where they may wallow and free
themselves from insects. Through the
dry summer, if they are allowed to run
at large, not much attention to this is
required, as they can generally look out
for themselves, and they will be found
scratching out hollows in the dry ground
and busting themselves to their great
satisfaction. Now that winter is ap-
preaching provision should be made for
them in advance of wet and muddy
weather, so that they can continue to
take their dry-dust baths under shelter.
For this purpose nothing is better than
dry road dust, and every one keeping
fowls should lay in supply while it can
be obtained and keep enough of it for
their use through the winter. when the
ground outside has become wet and
muddy or frozen. Where there are
many fowls it is quite good plan to
have small room with window facing to
the south for this special purpose, rather
than box of dirt in their roosting-place
or nesting-room, SO that they may dust
themselves without covering every thing
else with dust. Where there has been a
neglect to provide dusty earth for this
purpose ashes may be substituted, and
answer the purpose very we'll. Persons
who fail to make any provision whatever
and keep their fowls from this time on
until spring without any thing of the
kind, need not expect many eggs, and
will find them suffering from vermin.-

etc., is the immature stage of the May
beetle. or ''June Bug" noticed usually
in great numbers in early summer.
Its habits are quite different from those
of the Tumble Bug" this latter spe-
cies depositing its eggs in the balls OF
dung which it is seen rolling along in
'oads, ETC., and the young feed upon the
iecaying matter thus provided for them.
They are therefore rather beneficial than
otherwise. The May beetle, on the con-
trary, deposits its eggs in the ground,
particularly in sod, and the larv@ feed
upon the roots of such plants as occur in
their vicinity. They are therefore often
extremely destructive to grass, straw
berries, corn. potatoes, as we'll as to vari-
Gus garden vegetables.
The excellent illustrations show the
adult beetles, side and back view, the
larvae in the act of feeding, and the
pupa in it's oval cell awaiting its trans
formation to the beetle stage. Aside
from the injuries to the roots of plants,
there is often much damage caused by
this insect to forest and shade trees,
since the beetles congregate on them
in the night time and cut off the leaves,
sometimes seriously stripping them.
REMEDIES SUGGESTED.
1t has been demonstrated by expert
ment in Washington that grubs of a re-
lated species can be destroyed by
drenching the ground with kerosene
emulsion.
But this method, while applicable to
very valuable lawns, would be too ex-
pensive to apply in meadows or pastures,
and probably the best recommendation
that can be made for land seriously in
tested with them is to summer fallow,
and then the next season plant some
crop not attacked by the grubs. Wheat
and oats are so nearly allied to grass
that they would probably be affected
seriously. Corn, if planted quite late,
after the land had been plowed early
the preceding fall, should be reasonably
free from injury. Hogs will root the
grubs out, and moles probably assist in
their destruction. There is parasitic
fungus which grows upon the Larvae,
killing them before they mature, and
this is sometimes abundant enough to
assist materially in reducing their num-

charge about the same prices, but the great
majority Of men do not 60 to the sweu

York the average cost Of q good suit, made
by good tailor, is fifty dollars; in London

London at all
The prevalent American idea OF English
styles seems to be something calculated to
knock the eyes out OF the behoider. The
louder the suit the more English it is con-
sidered. see young fellows on Broadway
every day dressed in fashion which would
constitute show on Regent street. and yet
their Irish or German tailor assures them
that they are arrayed in the latest English
fashion. The fact is that the average young
Englishman has q sense Of the eternal
fitness of things not exhibited by his cis-at1
lantic imitator. The three-inch checks In
cOlors SO loud that they would discount q
brass band are reserved for country or sea-
side wear. In the city the dark sack or cut
away trock with light trousers is the rule.
and plain white silk four-in-hand is the cor
rect thing in neckwear. The only men who
sport loud suits IN London are the "'Arrys,"
the grocers' clerks and Diapers assistants,
and they only exhibit their wondrous finery
on Sunday or a ''bank 'oliday at Apply Am
stead" The ambition of seven out Of every
ten Of our young New Workers seems to be
to initiate the English, and their method OF
accomplishing that purpose Is by making
themselves look as much like fools as pos
sible Nature having given them good
start in that direction they are sometimes
surprisingly successful.
The British bar-maid. by the way, is an
institution which has never taken root in
our American soil An enterprising En-
glishman who kept bar-room under
Wallacks Theater tried the experiment

few years ago of importing half a dozen
long limbed, fresh-complexioned British
damsels, with the laudable intention of hav-
ing genuine British ''pub'' for the benefit
of Anglomaniacal New Workers.. But the
scheme did not work. The average Amer
lean frequenter of bar-rooms has not cult
waited the same kind of idiocy affected by
his British prototype. In an American bar
room the patrons swear and tell objection
able stories between drinks, while in En-
gland the British youth occupy the inter-
walls in the process of getting fuddled in
staring fatuously at the BARNARD. The i'm
ported bar-maids interfered with the COM
fort of the patrons of the place, for q man
has to get pretty low down in the scale be-
fore he can take any comfort in swearing
in the presence of woman, and then the
bar maid can't mix drinks. Her vast and
comprehensive ignorance of the composition
of cocktails" ''fizzes," punches" and
other palate soothing but misunderstanding
connections of the American liquor juggler
would do credit to the president of a 7. A.
b. lodge. AS a consequence there is little
or no temptation to drink to excess.
There are many points where we in New
York might TO advantage initiate London
fashions and methods. We might, for ex-
ample, introduce decent cab system. In
London one can catch hanson on any cor
ner and ride two miles for a quarter. In
New York the chances are that you will
have to walk several blocks to find cab
and then walk several miles in order to
earn money enough to pay for it. But why
go into comparisons? Our Anglomanlacs
have heretofore initiated English fOibles
and, as might be expected in the case of
creatures of their shallow mentality, have
ignored the valuable lessons which we might
learn from our British cousins. This sea-
son England has been visited, en- route to
Paris, by greater number of really sensi-
BILE Americans than ever before, and the
fact that they are thinking about what they
have seen, and that it forms subject for
conversation, proves that the seeds Of q
more useful Anglomania have taken root.

Bruin made rush for the fence, but he
couldn't get over with twenty pounds OF

couldn't shake of the turtle. What

knows, because the farmer shot the bear.
Then he had to cut of the bears nose,

NY DEAD.

1often think about my dead.
When twilight shadows fall.
When have folded by each task,
And passing hours each other ask,
Whence Is that solemn call
That comes to me from distant shores
From spaces not yet blown
By winds that roam the moaning seas,
By winds that stir the languid trees
To mortals never shown:
wish they were with me again,
As once they used 10 be:
would not speak an unkind word:
Sweet songs oflove would e'er be heard;
Naught else know from me.
II knew how to bring them back
To this deserted place,
Their presence soon would light each hall,
Their gentle footsteps here would fall,
Would beam each tender face
But they are gone, yes. they are gone;
Here stands each vacant chair;
How oft with me at ever-times
They sat and talked of other chimes,
Whose glories they now wear.
Ore thing know. tho they are gone
To Join seraphic bands,
They are not lost in that far home:
There We will meet when ! shall come
To tread on shining strands.

THE FEARLESS GORDON.
From his Great Courage Came Much
his XOntierf POMer.

From his Great Courage Came Much OF
his Wonderful Power.
What was the secret of his wonderful
power? Much of it lay in his fearless
ness, much in his swiftness of thought
and action, and much in what the
Yankee would call his capability in all
things, small as we'll as great. He could
ride and shoot and tinker and conduct
campaigns and negotiate treaties, all
with unhesitating self-reliance. As
matter of course such a man takes COM
mand. Gordon never lacked opportuni-
ties to show these qualities. When
steaming quietly up the Nile a monkey
with which he was playing fell over
board. In twinkling Gordon was in
the water after him. By good luck the
crocodiles got neither Governor General
nor monkey. When a nugger was being
hauled up the rapids some way, south of
Lado, the cable got away from the men
on the bank and the vessel was swept on
the rocks. No one would volunteer to
go out and pick up the cable, and Gordon
jumped into skiff and went alone. To
be sure the skiff was upset, and the Gov
ernor-General sat some hours dripping
upon a rock, but his men had a lesson.
On another occasion the garrison OF
one of the stations was thrown
into much anxiety by seeing Gordon
alone, rowing across the river to the east
bank, which in that region was occu-
pied by intense hostile negroes. He
landed. made his boat fast, and tried by
a display of beads and wire to induce the
savages to come and talk with him.
They simply sat on the hillside and
scowled. Finally Gordon shot hippo
potamus and padded back, leaving the
beads on the shore and a fine feast of
hippopotamus meat in the rushes. An
other man would have been killed. I
was amused to see on his table at Khar-
toum handsome spoons and forks with
his crest half effaced by rough scratches.
I could fancy Gordon, vexed by some
unusual flummery, Selling rat-tail file
and proceeding to put out OF his sight
one more vanity. 1t was not that he
was not proud of his family. On the
contrary, he could pay a man no greater
compliment than to say, "You are like
a Gordon;" but all the marks and signs
of rank sometimes became intolerable
to him.-Colonel II. G. Prout, in Scrib-
