TO DESTROY LICE.
simple Remedies that Arc Sure Death TO
All Kinds of VermInI


Sulphur is advocated as n lice de-
stroyer. 1t is recommended to use tho
flowers Of sulphur to dust the hens
with or put in their dust bath, claiming
that the heat from the body generates
a gas which kills the lice. 1t is ac-
cepted by nearly every body that this
is u fact, yet II Is an erroneous idea.
The fact of tho heat from the body gem
Grating gas is absurd. and for killing
lice IL Is n folly. II you wish to use
sulphur in any form give it in dry
weather internally, and only exter-
nally for scurvy leg. To kill lice ef-
fectually, several remedies may be re-
sorted TO. Lard to which is added
about one-third kerosene oil well mixed
together and applied lightly under the
wings, behind the comb, and around the
vent, will usually dissipate vermin. In
sect powder is very good and sure, but
costly. Kerosene oil is sure death to lice,
utin its raw state would be too irritat-
ing to tho flesh of the hen and conceived
the idea OF using il in the following
manner with gratifying results; Take
II five-cont bar of soap, shave it fine
dissolve it in enough boiling wator to
make 1t thick, stir in pint of kerosene
oil and add boiling water slowly, STIR
ring quickly so the oil will not float on
top. Let it cool down to blood heat.
Now take your fowl and hold it in tho
mixture, head out, with your hand rub
it we'll into the feathers, rub them down
and keep them confined in n warm
place. Do this on dry, warm day,
and it won't hurt them as much us
being out in the rain all day. am as
afraid of lice as Of roup, canker, swelled
head or cholera. The other pest is the
small red lice which will reduce flock
about as quick as disease II they get
the upper hand, but are more easily
disposed OF. Completely cover the
roost poles with pure kerosene oil, aud
they will never trouble you any more.

RlcMoNo's FALL
How the First News OF tho Event WI
Received in Washington.


How the First News of tho Event Was
Received in Washington.
1t is safe to say that no message ever
sent by telegraph was of such National
interest as the one which Mr.. VIM. L.
Kettles, thenan operator in the service of
the Goyernmentatthe War Department
In Washington, received from Rich
mond on the morning of April g. 1865.
Mr. Kettles, then mere boy OF fifteen,
bT an expert telegraph operator, was
working the Fortress Monroe and City
Point wire at Washington. Tho Wash
ington and Cherrystone operators were
engaged on long message. when sud
denly both men were taken abacls by
what seemedt to be most foolish de-
mand from Fortress Monroe: Turn
down for Richmond, quick!n Had a
flash of lightning struck through the
wall at that moment the shock could
not have been greater than it was on
the part of every man in that ROOM
Such thing as communication with
Richmond, which had not been known
since tho beginning of the war; not
withstanding the frequent Successes oil
the Union army OF late. was entirely
out of the question in every body's
mind. Richmond, the great strong
hold of the South! Could 1t be joker
There was great alacrity in turning
down the adjustment. There were
trembling fingers while it was being
done. and there was u gathering OF
many operators with curiosity, sus-
pense and Impotence combined to see
what it meant Sure enoughl The
signals OF the operator in Richmond to
the operator in Washington were
bounding along the line. No signal
was ever answered more promptly.
Then came the question: fs

A Memen,o of the War.

During the memorable flood OF last
year, when so man bridges were washed
out und so much other property was
destroyed, the timbers of n stout bridge
wero carried from some point above
hore, in either Harrison or Lewis Coun-
ty, and deposited on the bank of tho
West Fork river near the junction of
that stream with the Valley river and
were there found after the waters sub
sided. In removing the debris later on
one of the heavy poplar posts of the
structure was found, on which was
carved tho following inscription: 20.
Edwards, Co. ], S6th Ohio Vol. In
fnntry." Mr. George H. Shinn cut out
the p ece bearing tho inscription, and
kept it until recently, when he placed
IL in the hands OF Mr.. n. c. Cochran,
to be deposited with the relics belong
ing to Meade Post, No 6, G. A. r. OF
course no one knows under what cir
cumstances the name was carved there,
but it is quito likely the soldier boy
was on picket and to relieve the mo-
notsny OF tho lonely hour he had re-
course to his jack-knife and the soft
poplar post What more natural then,
that he should leave his name as re-
minder to the passers-by in after years
OF the stormy days of the civil war? II

special artist occasionally had to en-
dure. When General N. p. Banks
made his ill-fated expedition up the

defeated Mt tho battle of Mansfield.
Schell was with him and of course had
to retreat. Nearly all the special war
artists enjoy tho play, "ield by the

Two Hundred and Eighty Years OF Inn
prOyement.

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
River from its mouth to Albany, and care
fully noting the grandeur and beauty on
either side of this magnificent highway of
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words:
ut is a. beautiful land as one can tread upon.r
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
velously increased the beauty of the great
river called by his name, and could he re-
turn TO the scenes OF his manhood, he
would hnd many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties of the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can exaggerate them; but the
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerable sailing
craft that dot the surface of the mighty
river, the neyer.euding clusters OF canal
boats that are being towed up and down,
the beautiful villas that one encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks of this noblest
river OF the continent, add an endless va
riety to the scenery, and resistleSs charm
to the eye of the traveller.
The Now York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New York
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
that connects the metropolis of the Western
world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts Of Central, Northern and Western
New York, including in its list the Catskill
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
and Richfield Springs, Lake Ontario, the
Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
sand Islands, Lake Champlain, the River st.
Lawrence, and hundreds OF others.
The New York Central is a part of the
great national highway across the conti-
nent and for the beauty Of its scenery, the
number and importance of the cities through
which it passes, its almost total lack OF
prlde4 and HmrvRS GniR nrRlt fDur-fFapE

GIRLS AND THE PIANO.
A German Professor Thinks That They
Often Study Too Much.

Some observations on pianoforte
teaching made in his annual report by
Prof Waetzoldt, director OF tho Royal
Elizabeth School in Berlin, have at
tracted much attention in Germany.
He says: ut may be affirmed that the
home music practice of girls is more
responsible for the nervousness and
weakness from which many OF them
suffer than the much-blamed school.
Pianoforte teaching should not begin
before the twelfth year. Moreover,
music should only be studied by healthy
girls, musically gifted, of whom it may
be expected that their playing will one
day give pleasure to their fellow crea-
lures. OF hundred girls who learn to
play the piano, ninety attain after years
Of labor TO only certain automatic skill.
which not only possesses no relation to
ARTISTIC executions, but is even destruc-
tive of the capacity for genuine musical
expression. The endless claims made
upon the time and strength of growing
girls by teachers of music must be
stoutly resisted by parents and school
authorities. 1t is neither necessary nor
desirable that we should have mediocre
or bad pianists, but it is necessary that
our girls should remain fresh and
healthy in body and mind"
The professor goes on to insist that
when in the case of sickly girls allevi-
ations are sought from school burdens,
instruction in piano playing should be
one OF the first to be given up.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

to spare for good cause. When an Ar-

to learn what had been achieved, there
was still nothing of material character TO
communicate. In fact, matters with them
were worse confused than on the preced-

'I'll tell you all there is TO be known

little local wealth is yet in sight, and We
don't know about how much can be en-
listed. The proposed route is through a
