THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

The Australian ballot plan seems to
have proved success. All the party
organs express approval, and agree
"that the average intelligence of the
voters OF Massachusetts Is quite UP to
the new system"
The observent Springfield republican
remarks:
"There is another, important result
from this new thihg-lt makes the
polls place where women can vote
without molestation, insult or discom-
fort, and so removes a serious .0b-
stacle to women's acceptance of. suffr-
age, and to mems. willingness 10 give
it to them. Many a man as he watched
the voting yesterday, in this city at
least. must have had the thought flash
into his mind that women could now
exercise the franchise without an. af-
front to her delicacy or self respect:
And it wonld not be strange if he had
gone on to reflect on the atsurdity. Of
excluding the best half of the ,coul-
munity from so orderly and agreeable,
as well as Importance duty"

high. For shipping by freight or long
distance make as follows: Five feet
six inches long, three feet wide and one
foot high for chickens, fowls and ducks;
for geese, fourteen inches high, and for
turkeys sixteen. The coop is divided
by partition across the middle. Use
posts two inches square for the corners
and middle. The stats on each side
next to the bottom should be three feet
five inches long, the others at each end
three feet long. The five inches ex-
tension beyond the end of the coop is
to hold feed trough. The long Stats
and bottom boards are five feet six
inches long-al three-eighths of an
inch thick. The Stats are from two
and a-half to three inches wide, free
from knots and straight-grained. A
V-shaped notch is cut in the projecting
ends of the lower Stats to hold the feed
trough outside of the coop. Put the
inches apart; but closer on top, to pre-
vent the fowls from getting their heads
through. Make a feed trough of two
pieces of board, four or five inches wide,
and the length of the coop with end
blocks in, and nail we'll in the notches
of the bottom end pieces and to the side
slat. The best feed to use is cracked
corn thoroughly soaked, as it holds the
moisture and will not sour. The illus
tration shows the heavy style of coop
in perspective.

ton, as he saw the chair upon its back,
the proud girl motionless upon the floor,

The next moment however, his ex-

her gently to her feet and sought to as

Good health is blessing. A robust

she longed to be delicate. sensitive

heart nearly broken.

POULTRY.
Preparing and shipping It to Market
An Excellent Crate.


An Excellent Crate.
Poultry shipped alive to market, says
the American Agriculturist, should be
well fattened, healthy and free from
blemish. 1t is mostly used by the city
people who will not take or use any
fowl or animal that is in any way de-
formed; but for unblemished and WE'LL
fattened fowls they are willing to pay
the highest price Before putting them
in the cOOps give plenty Of feed and
drink. Feed grain only; meal sours-
Do not overcrowd the coop, as it causes
excessive heat and makes the fowls
feverish and sickly. If sent by express
the coop should be as small and light
as is compatible with sufficient strength
to bear rough handling. Freight is
charged on weight of coop, as well as
of poultry. Old ROSTERS usually sell at
half the price of fowls, and young roost-
ers are rated the same as chickens.
Small and nearby lots are best sent by
express, and the cOops will be returned
free of charge. These can be made
smaller and lighter than those which
are sent by freight.
A good and convenient size for ex-
press coopS for fowls, chickens and
ducks is as follows: Boards for ends and
middle, each two feet long, one foot
wide and five-eighths of an inch thick,
free from shakes or splits, and of light
dry wood. For the bottom use boards
four feet long and three-eighths of an
inch thick. For the sides and tops good,
clear, straight-grained plasterers' lath
is the best and cheapest. Make the bot
tom of boards the same length as the
full width of the end and middle pieces.
Nail the lower laths close against the
bottom boards on both sides to pre-
vent the fowls from getting their
feet or legs out. Leave interstices of
about two inches between the laths on
the sides, but only one and a-half on
top. This prevents the fowls from stick
ing their heads through and being in
jured or killed as one coop is placed on
another. Do not nail the two middle
laths on top of the coop, but use screws
so they can be easily removed. Nail
piece of thin, light hoop-iron all around
the ends and middle. For small spring
chickens and pigeons make coops of the
same dimensions, but only eight inches
high, as only strong, healthy pigeons
are used for trap shooting. Do not put
squealers or young ones in, or any with
clipped wings, as they will be thrown
out when sold.
For geese the coops should be four
teen, and for turkeys sixteen inches

prices asked by Chinese Bonifaces are
extravagant, but the old adage de gusti-

the almond-eyed Asiatics with the same
propriety as to the civilized bon vivants,

have no business to throw stones at the

the cheapest places have passed rigid
inspection, and while the ''cuts" in the
fifteen-cent restaurants may not be the
choicest, yet they are as wholesome as
those served in more gorgeous places,
and this fact dwellers in the rural dis
tricts should not forget when visiting
the great metropolis of the West.

The character of each years living

ming of each year. Well-begnn years
years. Too many years begin so as to
promise very little in their onward
course, and their successive days and
weeks and months, as might be ex-
pected, are no better than their Begin
nings; and possibly, if not probably, not
as good. A better beginning of now
year would have been encouraging as to
an annual contribution to a well-spent
life. Well-begun years are demanded
for well-spent lives.
1t is related that there exists beau

would be we'll to initiate everywhere.
On the first day of the New Year. what
ever may have heen the quarrels or
arrangements between friends and
relatives, mutual visits are inter
changed, kindl Y greetings given and
received-all is forgotten and forgiven.
Let this custom begin with reconcilia-
tion to God; there friendship and fell
lowship may be found that shall be
blessed and lasting"
Fitting thoughts, upon enter ing a
New Year, have found ut erance as fol-
lows:
I'VE are standing on the threshold we are in
the Cpen door.
We are treading on the border-Iand we have
never trod before.
Another year is opening, and another year is
gone,
We have passed the darkness OF the night; we
are in the carly morn;
We have left the fields behind US DER which we
scattered seed;
We pass into the future which none Of US can
read
The corn among the weeds, the stones, the sur
face mold
May yield partial harvest; we hope for sixty
fold.
Then hasten to fresh labor, to thresh and reap
and SOW.
Then bid the New Year welcome and let the old
year go
Then gather ali your vigor. press onward in the
fight,
And let this be your motto: For God and fOr
the Right"
