DRESSING FOWLS FOR MARKET
These Are Good Hints and Should BE
Read and Remembered.

These Are Good Hints and Should Be
Read and Remembered.
Much depends upon the way dressed
poultry looks when it is first exposed to
the public gaze. The quickness Of sale
and price realized are governed, to a
great extent. by the style in which it
has been prepared and the appearance
it exhibits when first opened in dis
tant market.
Different styles Of dressing are re-
quired to suit the various markets Of
our great cities, but all demand that
dressed poultry shall be fresh and
clean looking, plump, we'll rounded. and
reasonably symmetrical in shape. When
prepared for the New York market
poultry is partly drawn and partly un-
drawn, the head and feet being re-
tanned, as we'll as the tail and the outer
wing quilts. This gives the bird very
lanky and ungainly appearance, though
it enables the purchaser to tell the sex
and very nearly to divine the age Of the
bird.
At Pittsburgh and the Southern mar
kets all poultry is plucked clean and
prepared ready for cooking; which, it
seems to me, is far preferable. To begin
with, the fowl must be in good condi-
ton and properly fattened, so that the
yellow fat may CLEAN temptingly
through clear, healthy skin In order
to take on readily the requisite amount
of flesh and to be free from unsigktly
pin feathers, the bird must be near ma
turity and possess its full complement
of feathers.
Ship in clean, well-ventilated boxes or
crates, each plainly marked with the
name of the shipper and the dealer to
whom it is sent, together with its gross
and net weights; and be sure to notify
the receiver by mail of the quality OF
the shipment made, and to give him ex-
plicit directions concerning its disposal.
Try to have each fowl in the crate as
near the same size as possible: one or
two thin-fleshed, lank specimens will
lower the price of the whole lot. If it
is necessary to market such pack them
by themselves.
Poultry should be dressed the day be-
fore shipping and kept in cool place in
the open air over night, each fowl being
placed SO as not 20 touch any other in
order that all may become thoroughly
cold.-COuntry Gentleman.

CARE OF FINE BOOKS.
Valuable Suggestions Obtained From .
Well-known Bibllopole.

Valuable Suggestions Obtained From .
WeIl-known Bibliopole.
A representative Of the American An.
alyst called upon . well-lsnOwn biblio-
pole Of New York City for information
respecting the care Of fine books. "A
book" said the expert. ''is delicate
organization, whose foes are perpetu-
ally endeavoring to destroy it. and its
foes are legion. Water, moisture or damp
ness, on the one hand. and excessive dry
ness on the other, are both extremely
injurious. A high temperature dries
paper, parchment and leather. and rem
ders them very brittle. In the opposite
direction great cold affects books in the
same manner. but to much smaller ex-
tent. For this reason a Swede or Can
adam has harder time with his library
than a Frenchman, an Englishman or
an American. But the hardest time
of all is experienced by the resi-
dents Of hot climates like South
ern India. Egypt. Brazil and CO.
lombia. Another dangerous enemy to
all books is what is usually termed
mold. This is not simple veg
etaoie growth. as is popularity believed.
Microscopists have discovered cve- q
hundred species of mold with which
Libraries are afflicted. Some attack
paper: others parchment; some fatten
on sheepskin, while others prefer mo-
rocco for diet. There is hardly a sub
stance of any sort used in bookmaking
but what has anywhere from two to
ten different molds which find in it
home or a source of nouriShment. In
sects are the cause of endless trouble.
Flies and spiders merely soil books;
moths and butterflies lay eggs which
hatch into vOracious and destructive
Larvae. These do any amount of dam

volumes which had been bored through

quently been known to devour not only
library, but also the book cases in
which the books were kept. In pro-
viding against these dangers lit
tie common sense will suggest
all requisite remedies. A library
should be kept clean, well-dust-
cd and thoroughly ventilated. A
hardwood. marble or mosaic floor with
rugs is far better than a carpeted
one. For the same reason wooden or
leather furniture is superior to the
handsomest products in silk and wool
of the upholsterer's art. In respect to
heating. crate fire either of coal or
:he oldfashioned one of wood is the
best. Dry hot-air from registers or fur
naces, is too desiccating, while a gas
stove or oil stove is ruinous. For fight
ing mold and insect life there are
number of good methods. Pieces of
camphor. menthol and tobacco are OF
great value. They should be placed in
bookcases on every shelf. Pulverized
salicylic acid sprinkled over the books
and shelves is probably the best. 1t is
tasteless and OdOrless, and
has no action either chemical or me.

ENTERPRISING PAGES.

Little Fellows In the House and Senate
Who Make Money Collecting and Sell
ing Statesmcn's Autograph.
The pages of the Senate and House
at Washington, are again doing thriv-
ing autograph album business. Hun
dreds of albums of all sorts and sizes are
being prepared for the seasons work.
These boys make twenty-five or more
dollars extra every month by getting
the autographs of statesmen. They
have albums of different styles every
day, and go from man to man asking
their autographs ''for my sisters al
bum or for a LADY who is visiting my
mother" or for some other object.
The statesmen hastily scrawl their
names on the pages open before them,
and the boys sell their albums for a
round Sum-Say ten dollars for an al
bum containing the autographs of the
members of the House and five dollars
for an. album containing those of the
members of tho Senate. These albums
are we'll worth the money which the
boys demand for them, too. 1t is inter-
esting to study the characteristics of the
men from their chirography. John q.
Carlisle writes careful hand, like that
of school-boy. 1t shows what manner
of man he is, for his character is DELHI
eratiye and careful. Mr.. Holman, of In
diana, is an awkward, ungraceful man,
in external appearance, but his auto
graph is as neat and pretty as a woman
could make it. Senator Allison, of
Iowa. always uses violet ink, and signs
his name as plainly and painstakingly
as though each letter were worth several
times its weight in gold, and not Q
quirlicue must be lost.
Senator Edmunds writes E-s, all
the letters between the initial ''E'' and
the final IS" being condensed into
quivering scrawl; but the capital e.
and the final 50 are SO perfectly made
that the on-looker can't help feeling
that Senator Edmunds is personally
careless and Intentionally SO in writing
his name. Senator Davis, of Minnesota,
is SO good writer that one wonders how
he ever became the great lawyer that he
is, because great lawyers are prcverbi-
ally bad writers, from ChOate down to
Fuller. Congressman Payson. of ILL.,
nois, must have been a writing teacher
some time in his life, for he writes his
name in good Spencerian copy-book
| style. There is character in every sig.
nature, and the albums are worth buy

SUIT BROUGHT FOR RECOVERY.
The United states Court Adjourns Be-

A suit growing out of losses at the
treacherous game OF faro was begun in the
superior court yesterday. 1t was brought
oy James Griffin against James III. Loug-
head, formerly proprietor of the Bodcga
saloon, E. c. Huntley and p. J. Porter
field.
On the night of March % Loughead, feel
ing somewhat lucky. concluded to '.buck
the tiger but, like many another I'M
fortunate, soon discovered that luck was
the other way or had been eoppered, and
1t was not long before his funds had dis
appeared across the faro table. Still san
guine of making winning, he borrowed
$500 from Griffin and invested it in chips,
but could not win. He then borrowed 500
from Jasper Hoisington, and continued 10
play until the chips had passed into the
Golfers of the dealer. Loughead promised
70 pay these two loans next day. but, feel
ing sore over his losses, neglected TO do SO,
although several requests have been made
of him to pay up
Hoisington transferred his account to
Griffin, who brought suit for $500, and,
Loughead not appearing TO answer, judg-
ment was rendered by default Loughead
subsequently appeared and petitioned the
court to reinstate the case on the ground
that he thought his attorney was attend
ing to it, and had therefore not appeared.
He said he had good defense. and asked
that a restraining order be issued TO pre-
vent the serving of an execution until the
court could hear the case. 4 temporary re
strainlng order was issued upon Loughead
giving suitable bond. +. G. Huntley and
+. j. Porterneld were the sureties on bis
bond, and as Lo1ghead has since become
insolyent, Griffin sued the sureties for the
amount of the judgment, interest and
costs, amounting to the sum of $592.e0.
