Poultry Notes.
1.-THE Republic.l

Feather-eating is nearly always caused by
idIeness.
The best remedy for egg-eating and feather
pulling is to kill and market.
Warm nests are necessary il eggs are to be
secured after cold weather sets in.
Leaving cracks between the boards is poor
way of providing ventilation in the poultry
house.
Poor ventilation makes sinking houses; it
must be provided for properly.
Parch corn occasionally and feed to the
poultry; it will be found good tonic.
Sorghum seed makes good feed to use dur.
ing the winter to make up a variety.
Feed whole corn at night Just before the
fowls 20 to r0ost and whole wheat in the morn
ing as soon as they fly down.
The small, unmarketable potatoes, if boiled.
and small quantity of bran added make
good feed for fattening poultry at this time
If a good profit is to be derived from the
poultry it is necessary TO feed sufficiently to
keep in good, thrifty condition.
Lay In q supply of old bones; they will be of
considerable value during the winter to break
up and feed to the poultry; or they can be
around in q bone mill.
A supply of dry earth is almost necessity to
supply dust bath as well as 10 use as an abb
sorbent during the winter. Store IL in old bar
rels or boxes.
A log house il chinked and punted with mud
makes very comfortable poultry house dur
ing the winter and can be made to answer in
stead Of board house in many cases.

RESOLUTIONS.
In Memory of the Life and Death of "Jas-
samine," Etc.


samine," Etc.
The following resolutions were read and
adopted at the recent annual meeting Of
the II. L. c.:
Be it resolved, That whereas it has pleased
our Divine Ruler 10 remove from among us
since last we met our dear sister, "Jassamine,
we embrace this late opportunity at our first
annual meeting since the sad event to add
briefly to what has been expressed and show
the sincere regret we feel in her loss; and
while we realize her absence in person
we feel her tender sacrificing spirit
ever with us as il was on that
she made of the little number thirteen
that instituted our order, urging us on in the
work before us. While the stem OF our flower
is withered and dead, the bloom ever remains
fresh and bright among us, and as "Jassamine"
is called from her work on earth to that higher
sphere of usefulness, let us ever keep her re-
membrance on memory's tablet, and extend to
the bereaved family our deepest sympathy and
friendship.
Resolved That in our social enjoyment and
health-giving exercise we remember with
kindly sympathy and regrets in their absence,
our invalid members and while you are
languishing on beds of affection be
assured that we would help you IN any way
possible TO reach health and sunshine, happi-
ness. and if you do not obtain the first, may we
all ma means OF nelplng you 10 enjoy eoLnS VI
the latter and during the long evenings near
at hand if more missives find their way to your
homes than you can answer, don't imagine that
the authors will feel sighted.
Resolved, That we tender our thanks to
Messrs. Morss and Stewart of THE SENTINEL
for their efforts in our behalf in securing re-
duced rates at the hotels and places of attrac-
ton. GLOosIN Boy,

CHILDREN'S ROUND TABLE
AUNT HOPE TELLS HlITY A SECRET.
Some Other Stories For Young Peopie-How
the Horse Rang n Boil Speak
Kindly-Giving Away the Sc.
cret-Knotty Problems

There was most dismal groaning sound
in the kitchen. Aunt Hope, passing by
the half-open door, looked anxiously in,
fearing Kitty had cut her finger or
bumped her head, or something. Neither.
Kitty stood by the sink over a pan of
potatoes which she was set to wash, and,
If she did not expect to wash them with
tear-drops, why did she send so many
splashing down among the rough, brown
coated things?
"Why, Kitty Smith! :" cried Aunt Hope,
cheerily, sis the we'll dry that you must
furnish water to wash the potatoes, or do
they wash easier in salt water?" Kitty's
only answer was a fresh deluge of tears,
half of which Aunt Hope kissed away
with a merry laugh.
"Now, dear child" rolling up her own
pretty dress sleeves and plunging into the
potatoes as if she liked the fun, "let us do
these potatoes as quickly and Clearly as
we can, and I will give you secret"
Kitty always liked secrets, and the very
idea of one dried up her tears.
"Ill tell you one, she said, "but it ISM
three days: 1 hate to work"
'Do you?" said Aunt Hope, in as sur
prised tone as though she had never
dreamed of such thing.

"Why, Aunt Hope" and Kitty stared
in establishment. "Ned and l were talk

thought we never saw so busy person as
you are, always doing something"
"l es. love to work now, but didn't

do all those things l have to do every
day."
And that is why you hate to do them.
Anything you have to do every day you
soon tire of, and mothers don't give their
little girls the hard and impossible things
to do, but the plain and easy ones. Well,

worse they would seem to do. Plunge into

your might till they look clean and hand

All the while Aunt Hope had beer
working briskly as she talked, and Kitty
had worked fast, too; so by the time the
talk was ended the potatoes were done.

The Bell of Justice,

beautiful story is told that in one of
the old cities of Italy the king caused a
bell to be hung in tower in one of the
public squares, and called it a "Bell Of
Justice" and commanded that any one
who had been wronged should 60 and ring
the bell, and so call the magistrate of the
city and ask and receive justice.
And when, in course of time, the bell
rope rotted away, wild vine was tied to
it to lengthen it. One day an old and
starving horse, that had been abandoned
by its owner and turned out to die,
wandered into the tower, and in
trying to eat the vine rang the
bell. The magistrate of the city, COM
ing to see who rang the bell, found
this old and starving horse. He caused
the owner of the horse, in whose service
he had toiled and been worn out, to be
summoned before him, and decreed that.
as this poor horse had rung the "Bell Of
Justice" he should have justice, and that
during the horses life his owner should
provide for him proper food and drink
and stable.

Speak Kindly.

A young lady had gone out walking.
She forgot to take her purse with her and
had no money in her pocket. Presently
she met little girl with basket on her
arm.
please, miss, will you buy something
from my basket" said the little girl,
showing variety of book-marks, watch
cases, needle-books, etc.
''I'm sorry l can't buy anything to-
day" said the young lady. az haven't
any money with me. Your things look
very pretty" She stopped moment and
spoke few kind words to the little girl !;
and then as she passed she said again:
'I'm very sorry 1 can't buy anything
from you to-day"
ooh, miss % said the little girl, you've
done me just as much good as if you had.
Most persons that meet say, Get away
with your but you have spoken kindly
and gently to me, and feel heap better"
That was considering the poor" flow
little it costs to do that! Let us learn to
speak kindly and gently to the poor and
suffering. II we have nothing else TO give,
let us at least give them our sympathy.

The small boy had been only day or
two at the kindergarten when he ap-
preached his father, showing great deal
of indignation. Papa, they say they
amt any Santa Claus. That it's not true !;
they amt any such thing. Papa, there is
a Santa Claus, isn't there?" The father
thought moment. Then he concluded he
would tell the child the truth. So he took
him on his knee, and told him il was a
pretty fabrication, made up by fathers and
mothers who loved their children, to make
them happy, and the fathers and mothers
were the real Santa Claus. The small boy
listened in silence. This was a shock to
him. He slid from his fathers knee, and
walked across the room to the door. He
opened it, and stood for moment in
deep thought. Then he turned and looked
at his father. "Say, papa, have you been
filling me up about the devil, too?"

the matter in the systematic way
described in the following ancedote:
A stranger was once invited to
"tak" a family dinner with the

and sat down with the laird, his
wife and daughter.

She ran to a swing made for her

Guy heard her sing, and he knew
that her grief was not deep. But
she let the trap stay in her mind
