Every Thing Considered, Corn IL the
Best and Cheapest
I do not propose to go into a scien-
tific analysis of the various foods to
show which contains the most fat,
which the most starch. and all that,
because recognize one fact, and that
is that something besides the bare con-
stituents of the food which we feed to
our fowls must be considered. When
we feed corn to our fowls we must re.
member that corn and water are not
absolutely all that the fowls take into
their crops; they are supposed to eat
some green food, some meat food.
some lime, and various other things
which they pick up here and there,
and which we know nothing about.
Analysis tells us the component parts
of corn and water, but does not tell
us what influence all these other
things which occupy the fowls giz-
yards at the same time have upon the
corn and water; therefore, we expert
ment carefully, and when we get
through experimenting we Dug hit to
know about what we are doing. We have
all heard that corn is too fattening for
fowls and does not produce eggs. |
will say that / will take a flock OF
leghorns as soon as the grass starts,
and give them their freedom, with
nothing in the form Of food provided
for them but corn and water and
shell, and they will beat any flock Of

bill of fare. So much for corn. 1t is,
and always must be, the mainstay.
TO be sure, the Asiatic breeds take on
fat easily, like the Berkshire swine,
and must be fed accordingly; but We
are not considering Asiatic fowls now,

years-get fatter than is. coed 'fol

The Pathetic Ending of u Once Celebrated
Character.
Maurice Pinchover was one Of the cele-
brated characters Of the National capital
few years ago. He was a little, bent, old
man, butquits vigorous in his movements,
as well as exceedingly glib with his tongue.
Pinchover was a typical imam with griev-
ance." He was formerly wealthy, but mis-
fortune overlook him and he was reduced
openury. Brooding over his misfortunes
he became morbid and at last concluded
that the world was gigantic aggregation Of
people living by their wits, and that he was
their principal victim. His principal hobby
was that "Tom Scott is thief and rob-
ber" He imagined that the celebrated
railroad king had swindled him out of
fabulous millions. Night after night he
stood in the hotel Hobbies and detained
against corporations and swindlers. Atlast,
four or five years ago, he was sent to st.
Ehsabeth's Hospital for. the Insane, and
there he will probably end his days
He now believes that the hospital is one
OF his numerous castles, and he Is exceed
ingly indignant with his employees because
they will not put electric bells in his room
when he orders them to do SO, and because
they take his checks for fabulous sums but
donM bring him back any money; they tel
him that it takes ell of the money to run the
establishment and entertain his numerous

Services In a Presbyterian Church
BrouEhT to an Abrupt Close-The Re-

back Party.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Services at the
New York avenue Presbyterian church this
morning were brought to an abrupt close by
a startling incident. In the absence Of the
Rev. w. A. Bartlett, D. D., pastor, the pull
pit was occupied by the Rev. Hugh Smith
Carpenter, DID,, of Brookline, who suddenly
tainted few minutes after having begun
his sermon. There was no apparent indica.
ton Of weakness on his part and his collapse
rudely startled the congregation and two or
three ladies gave way 10 Mysteries. Physi-
clans were at the preachers side in a moment
and pronounced the attack a mere fainting,
superinduced by the hot weather. The con-
gregation was dismissed, although the doctor
strongly insisted upon resuming bis dis.
course.
George o. Jones, chairman of the National
Greenback party, has issued an invitation
requesting all persons who desire to aid in
recognizing the National Greenback party
to meet in their respective States and con-
gressional districts on or before September 4
next and appoint one delegate and one alter
nate to attend the National Greenback con-
vention called to meet at Cincinnati on Sep
TENDER IL next. The invitation is extended
70 "those who favor distinct American
policy regarding it's finances, who believe
that full, legal tender notes greenbacks,
issued by the government, received in pro-
noting the general welfare, constitute THE
money which marks our advancing
civilization, make the best money the
world ever saw and should become the per-
manent circulating medium of the American
people, the life of whose free government
they saved, and that a party bearing their
name should be perpetuated to keep these
great truths constantly before the people.

"money answerth all things" and that no

home industries; the limitation of the debts
