Roup In Fowls-Mites.

My chickens are affected with q
disease with which am entirely
unacquainted. 1t is confined to hens
and small chickens.
Symptoms in hens as follows:
Head very soon covered with scabs
Cor something like them), which al.
most covers the top and sides Of
head and invariably one or both oi
the eyes; comb and gills stiff, hard
and black; high fever, attended with
great thirst, and when allowed tc
drink freely bowels are very active,
discharging yellow, watery matter;
when scabs over eyes are softened
SO as to allow the eyes to be opened
rather blistered and slightly viscious
matter is discharged often IN large
quantities.
So far / have been 80 fortunate as
to lose no hens under my crude
treatment which is as follows: Soft.
en- affected parts with pure unsalted
lard, sprinkle with calomel, and give
q small dose of calomel, about as
much as you would give a child,
Keep in coop, give water sparingly
but do not feed until the patient can
see to eat, which is generally not
sooner than q week.
The young chickens have cal.
lous growth which appears to begin
nearer the root of bill and spreads
until it very often covers the nostrils
and suffocates the chickens. Occa.
sionally head and eyes get sore also.
They drink very freely as if famish-
ed.
Now I would be pleased to know
what this disease is and remedy.
2. How can chickens be rid OF
mites? I can destroy them in chick
house. Do you suppose mites could
have had anything to do with pro-
ducing this disease?- Mrs. w. B. B.,
Keener, Ala.
+. ANLwER.-Your chickens are
probably affected with compare
lively mild form of roup, disease
which often assumes so virulent a
form as to prove fatal in nearly
every case. The cause of it is usu.
ally the keeping the fowls in damp,
cold, sunless gardens; exposure te
wet, chilling weather; poor and in
sufficient food; foul or impure drink
ing water. The first thing to do j,
to separate all the well fowls from
those affected and give them dry
ventilated gardens, good food ant
clean pure water. Next, give dry
warm quarters for the affected; give
soft stimulating food. AS soon al
possible give from half teaspaonfu
to tablespoonful ofcastor oil, accord
ing to size of bird.
Syringe out the nostrils with on.

to escape from the Monroe
County Insane Asylum Ellen McCand-
less, one of the inmates, fell q distance
of nearly forty feet and sustained in
juries from which she died few hours
afterward. In some way Mrs. McCand-
less had obtained possession of a file

FREEMAN THE VICTOR.

After closely contested match, occupying
fifteen days in playing, Freeman wins by the
lowing is brief summary Of the play. The
games complete win only be published in book
form:
Our account Of the match last week, says the
Woopsocket Reporter, concluded with the play
OF TSe univ Win th1s far on WednesaS
the Edinburgh opening was selected for play,
and two remarkably tine games snsued The he
Freeman having the black men. Barker played
the white men with great skin and gave Free:
man hard work to draw. Freeman was obliged
to sacrifice a man in the ending, regaining 1t
after a number OF moves. In the evening the
peared to have the strongest game, but Barker
succeeded in drawing by judicious pitch"
Thursday, when the l1-16 opening ram at the
seventh move into the same game as the first
In the match, was relieved in the evening by
Barker winning n game and tieing the score.
The opening move, lilo, was followed by 221S
iO-i4 24-19, forming the Paisley. Barker played
of book play with which he was not familiar.
At the most critical point Freeman took the
full-time limit, but could see no draw on any
line; in fact, the draw play is so difficult that
no one would be likely to discover it in the five
that at the time keepers call move was made
that had not been considered, and Barker
quickly scored q win.
On Friday two interesting and original games
were played on the viii o the Wisp opening,
both resulting in draws.
The Kelso was drawn for Saturdays play.
The afternoon game ran: 1918, 21l7 lilo, etc,
and was drawn. In the evening game, after
the opening moves: 10l5, 2-1S, 15-22 25-1S 1l15,
1911, S-15, Freeman played 21-17, a move which
is now considered the strongest defense of the
Kelso; indeed it is q mooted question among
experts as to which is the safe draw line for
black against it. Freeman played an invinci-
BILE game with the white men, and by fine end
play scored q brilliant win This gave Freeman
q lead OF one game, and the small number of
games remaining to be played six, greatly in
creased his chances Of winning the match.
On Monday and Tuesday two games each on
Single Corner and Laird and Lady were played,
all being drawn.
Wednesdays play opened at SOS p. m. with
the Cross, the only opening remaining to be
| played In reply TO Barker's 1918, the move
| which forms the opening Freeman played 9-14,
| O line which is termed Cross. Choice. Then fol.

was declared o draw at $3.50.
One OF the largest audiences assembled

/ In the first quarter of the game Barker

and at 9:35 1t was declared q draw. Thus

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PErARD.

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.
During the last campaign it was told
in the republican newspapers and on the
stump that it was the foreign manufac-
turer who sent goods to this country
that paid the tariff. The people in the
United States did not pay the tariff-it
was the foreigner who paid the duty.
This was repeated time and again, until
really it was surprising that men of
good common sense began to think it
was so.
Recently the country has been on the
verge of a panic by reason of a shortage
of money in New York city. Indeed
matters became so serious that the secre-
tary of the treasury had to go to that
city and confer with the leading bankers
over the situation and, if possible, devise
some ways and means to tide over the
difficulty.
The whole thing in nutshell is simply
this: Collector Erhardt estimated that
it would require SIS, 447 1859 to get the
goods out of the warehouse on October
LIST, to avoid the action of the bill which
it was intended to make operative on
that date. This sum of nearly nine,
teen million dollars is not the value OF
the goods, only the tariff duty on them,
Hence, if the foreigner pays the tariff
why this bother over few million dol
lars by our American business men tc
get their imported goods out of the Gus
tom house?
Perhaps by this time it will strike the
reader that the republicans are hoist by
their own petard. Our importers have
to pay this tariff tax and it all comes ou
of the peoples pockets who buy and us'
these goods. So if the tariff isn't tax
pray what would you call it?

A number of the Rooms Much Improved
in Appearance.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The work on
the interior decoration of the White
House that has been in progress dur
inc the mast two weeks has been COM
pleted. and as soon as the paint dries
The house will be ready for the occu-
pancy of the Presidential family. The
improvements made in the mansion are
quite extensive, and the dingy appear
ance of many of the rooms has given
way to a bright and artistic arrange
mont of soft colors peculiarly pleasing
in their entirety.
The main corridors, in which is To-
Gated the private stairway, has been
subjected to the most elaborate decora-
ton. The walls are finished in plastic
combing of ecru with an elaborate frieze
in plastic roughing with metallic or
namentation. The private dining-room
has been finished in old gold of an
elaborate pattern, and the small ante
room on the same floor in old rose. On
the second floor the Presidents apart
ment is finished in yellow and bun,
with extensive ornamentaiton about
the windows and borders in bright
gold, which blends SO tremendously
with the~other tints that the effect is
peculiarly pleasing.
Mrs. Dimmick's room, at the front of
the building, is in blue and cream
colors combined in a pattern selected
by Mrs. Harrison. The room occupied
by Rev. DIR. SCOTT has been frescoed,
papered and painted in soft cream
colors, and the official rooms have also
been thoroughly renovated and finished
in delicate tints. Altogether the effect
is artistic in every respect and has
been approved highly by Mrs. Harri-
son and the President. The rooms that
are open to the public have not been
changed,

PORTUGUESE affairs must be in an I'M
usually critical condition, for the
government has given orders to stop all
kilograms, both domestic and foreign,
which refer to the current political dis
orders. Suppression of news is always
the ill-timed resort of despotism. There
seems to be an idea that somehow the
attempted concealment of truth will not
only prevent the spread of knowledge,
but will even stop popular movements.
No idea could be more absurd.

N. Y. World few years since The play was
originally given by Mcfarland but at forty sixth

The Effect Of Two Letters.

She was little old woman in black,
with the least bit of white ruching about
her ncck-just such creature as it takes
to bring one down to the real thought of
humanity, out of the hurly burly of every
day existence to the little sorrows and
little rays of sunshine that 60 to make
up life as it is. Everybody noticed her
as she came in the car. Her sweet old
face didn't have many wrinkles in it,and
the passengers wondered if she wasn't
the prettiest girl in her crowd when she
was young.
The little old lady had two letters in
her hand, and after she had given the
conductor her nickel she opened one CT
them, at the same time adjusting pair
of steel-rimmcd spectacles to her nose.
As she read the letter smile gathered
all over her face and then broke into q
laughing chuckle that everybody in the
car noticed. Another smile came, then
laugh and more smiles, and the letter
was finished. The little old woman was
the happiest person on the car and she
seemed to want to say something to some
body. AS she put away the first letter
and began opening the other one she
turned to lady sitting by her and said:
"That letter is from Johnny, my boy,
I mean. He's been gone long time
now, and every Saturday get a letter
from him. He never forgets his old
mother, John doesn't, and some day he
will come back to see me. You don't
know the comfort of such q son, young
lady"
The second letter was taken from the
envelope and the little old woman began
reading. In a moment she started and
then jumped to her feet, staring wildly
at the sheet she had in her hands.
"No, mol" she screamed. "No, it is
not so-it can't be So"
The little old woman reeled, and big,
burly home going laborer caught her in
his arms. She was taken from the car,
accompanied by q number of the passen-
gers, and lifted to drug store. When
she was finally laid down one af the pas
sengers put his ear close to her heart,
and then rising shook his head.
The little old woman had died. In
one of her hands letter was clasped and
in the other she clutched O rumplcd
sheet. The bit of paper was taken by
one of the passengers, who read aloud 10
the others:
"Dear Madam-It is with pain that we
disclose to you sad news concerning your
son. As he was returning to the mining
camp from the rostoffice last night his
horse threw him against q rock and he
never spoke again. He died this morn
ing."-Pitts6urg Dispatch.
