THE HANDSOME MAN.
What Constitutes One According to Fanny
Ferns Critical Mind.

What Constitutes One According TO fanny
Ferns Critical Mind.
Well-in the first place, there must
be enough Of him; or, failing in that
but, come to think of it, he mustn't fail
in that, because there can be no beauty
without health, at least according to
my way Of thinking. In the second
place, he must have beard; whiskers
if the gods please, but beard [ IN
sist upon, else one might as well look
at a girl. Let his voice have a dash OF
Niagara, with the music OF a baby's
laugh in it. Let his smile be like the
breaking forth OF the sunshine or a
spring morning. AS to his figure, 1t
should be strong enough to contend
with man, and slight enough to trem-
bic in the presence Of the woman he
loves. OF course, ii he is a well-made
man, it follows that he must be grace
ful, on the principle that perfect ma
chinery always moves harmoniously;
therefore you and himself and the milk
pitcher are safe elbow neighbors at the
tea table.
This style of handsome man would
no more think of carrying a cane than
he would use parasol to keep the sun
out of his eyes, He can wear gloves,
or warm his hands in his coat pockets,
as he pleases. He can even commit the
suicidal-beauty-ac OF turning his OUT
side coat collar up over his neck of a
stormy day with perfect impunity. The
tailor didn't make him, and as to his
halter, if he depended on this hand
some mans patronage of the '1atest
spring STYLE" I fear he would die Of
hope deferred; and yet-by Apollo!
what bow he makes, and what an ex-
pressive adieu he can wave with his
hand! For all this he is not conceited
for he hath brains.
But your conventional handsome
man of the BARRIERS window-wax-fgure-
head pattern; with pet lock in the mid
die of his forehead, an apple-sized head,
and raspberry mustache with six
hairs in it; a pink spot on its cheek,
and little dot of goatee on its cum
ming little chin; with pretty blinking
little studs in its shirt-bosom, and
neck-tie that looks as if ne would faint
were it tumbled, I'd as lief look at a
poodle. always feel desire to nip it
up with pair Of sugar-tongs, drop it
gently into bowl Of cream, and strew
pink rose-leaves over its little remains.
Finally, my readers when soul mag
netizes soul, the question of beauty is a
dead letter. The person one loves is
always handsome, the worlds arbitrary
rules Notwithstanding; therefore when
you say, what can the handsome Mr..
Smith see to admire in that stick of g.
Miss Jones?" or ''what can pretty Miss
T see in that homely Mr.. Johns?" you
simply talk nonsense, as you generally
do talk on such subjects. Still, the par
son gets his fees, and the census goes on
all the sane.--Fanny Fern, tn the NJ 7.
Ledger.

SONE-MEAL FOR POULTRY.
IT Is Nutritious and Strengthens the Zone:
Ind IeOcX.

IT Is Nutritious and Strengthens tho Zones
;tud Legs.
Many. farmers think that the hens
may shift for themselves. Ii they do
well, all right; if they are found dead
or dying it is not much loss. For the
capital invested no stock on the farm
will pay: as well as the poultry well
cared for. One of the little things that
ought to be looked after to have the
poultry always in good trim is q sup
ply OF bonc-mea!. Poultry raisers
should not neglect to use sufficient raw
bone either crushed or in the forn.of
meal. It contains lime as do oyster!
shells, but it contains animal matter.
which is OF great value. Bone when
burnt is of comparatively little value
over oyster shells, but when. crushed
or ground raw supplies value peculiar
to itself. All classes OF poultry are ex-
tremely fond OF it. Care should ,be
taken to have it pure and sweet. 1t is
good for all classes and ages of poultry.
For young chicks it should be used in
the form of meal. mixing q small
quantity two or three times week
with their soft feed, say one quart to a
bushel of corn-msal.
In young turkeys it is almost impos-
sible to prevent leg weakness. About
the time of their shooting the red"
when their health becomes established
and they grow aDace, the development
of their frames and legs require q
more liberal assimilation of material
than can be afforded by the usual arti-
cles of food. 1t is well to begin to
mix little bone-meal with the feed
OF young turkeys and from the tirao
they are four weeks old it can be used
freely.
No injurious effects will follow, for
it is nutritious and strengthens the
bones and legs. All raisers of young
turkeys know that leg weakness is
one of the evils to which they are eX-
posed and this is q natural preventive,
and here is one of the cases where
prevention is better than cure. Drah-
ma and other Asiatic chtsks for the
same reason are greatly benefited by
its use.-Ohio Poultry Journal.

ExTRAVAGANT LETTERS.

Tho Pension Commissioner Writes About
the Humors of HIS Office.
a few samples from among 10000
instances will show the variety of the
inquiries addressed to the Commis-
sioner, and they are herewith sub
mitted.
One woman in the best faith ad-
dresses the Commissioner and asks
that he see that the school house in
her neighborhood be established in
the center OF the district. Another in
forms him that her husband has long
been absent. She has wandered over
the face of the country in search OF
him, and she would now like to have
him take up the search. Many such
cases occur. Letters containing
souvenirs dear to the senders, but ut
terly valueless to any one else, are re-
ccived; letters of advice detailing
whole pension schemes to be suostitu-
ted for the present system OF laws;
letters Of eXtravagant commendaticn,
OF censure, of anger, of contempt, OF
wrath, OF unmitigable hostility; let
ters OF insane writers threatening
vileness and violence; letters excited
By the granting OF pensions
and asking benisons upon the
heads of all concerned; letters of bit
terest reproach for pensions denied.
calling down the wrath OF God and
men upon those who have been trying
to do their simple duty-all these and
multitudes of o&lers, fantastic, sober,
rational and wild, pour by the hun
dreds and thousands into the mail OF
the bureau; and from the charity and
patience which forbears to respond,
and the sense OF duty which compels
the neglect Of idle inquiries, arise
many of the complaints and denuncia-
tions of the Office for its alleged neglect.
And now, to give in one huge total
the figures which will show how idle
such complaints in general are l need
only say that the number OF papers OF
every description sent to the Commis-
sioner during the year has been 2,697,-
sos. The number OF answers immedi-
ately sent out thereto has been 1885,
1872; the remainder being of the kind
above indicated and those which re-
quire no reply until answered by the
execution and transmission of proper
documents in authentic shape.-Cona-
