DISEASES OF POULTRY.
Preventives and Remedies for tho Com.
 mon Summer Maladies.

Preventives and Remedies for thc Com-
 mon Summer Maladies.
 It is curious fact that while fowls are naturally subject to very few dis eases, disease in the poultry yard is the greatest drawback to the success of modern poultry keepers. The fatal dis orders so prevalent are almost without exception the result of neglect and ill treatment. A good general rule to fol low with sick poultry is to kill off the fowls that are badly diseased and save the rest by strict sanitary measures. Another rule that should be strictly ob- served is the removal and isolation of fowls sick from any cause whatever.
 For chicken cholera combine some stimulant, such as Cayenne pepper, with the food. Douglas mixture put in the drinking water in the proportion of a teaspoonful to pint will be found 8 beneficial tonic to the sick fowls and a useful preventive of disorders in the we'll ones. For decided case of cholera strong solution of hyposulphite of soda given three times day in teaspoonful doses is one of the standard remedies.
 To prevent scaly legs dip the fowls legs in kerosene two or three times per week. For loss of feathers, which is due to overlooking with heating material, such as corn and buckwheat, the natural remedy is change of feed, in which grass, cabbage and the like abound.
 Fowls addicted to egg eating had bet ter be sold. When birds begin pulling out each others feathers feed them plen- tifully with bits of fresh meat, scraps and finely powdered fresh bones. To prevent packing of the crop, irregularity of the bowels, etc., mix little sulphur with the food as often as once 8 week. Supply also gravel and coarse sand. When soft shelled eggs become frequent supply old plaster, lime, bone dust, crushed bones or similar ingredients.
 Use with liberal hand hot lime wash, carbohc acid, kerosene and sulphur if you would prevent lice and other para sites in your poultry yard. Vermin is a serious pest. Once in the chicken houses it becomes difficult matter to expel By washing the house with hot lime wash occasionally and rubbing the roosts with mixture of kerosene oil and lard fowls may be kept comparatively free from vermin. Sprinkle the floor occa- sionally with solution of carbolic acid two or three times during the season, and fumigate the hen house by burning birthstone or sulphur.

Legend of the Death of Solomon
TSt. Louis Republic.l

There is u legend concerning the death
of Solomon. alluded to in the Koran and
found ia the chronicle Of Tabari, which
is to the following effect: Solomon en-
ployed the genii in building the temple,
but perceiving that his end was nigh at
hand prayed God that his death might
be concealed from the genii until the
work was completed, for Solomon knew
that if he died and the genii knew of his
death they would leave off building.
Therefore he made himself staff from
a tree in his garden, and leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed in adora-
ton, he died in the temple. His soul
was taken so gently from him that the
body remained standing, SO remaining
for one whole year; those who saw him
thought he was absorbed in prayer, and
they dared not approach him.
Still the genii worked night and day
until the temple was completed, thinking
that they were watched in every detail
by the master whose eyes had many
weeks before closed in death. But dur
ing all this time little white ants had
been gnawing at the staff, and when the
temple was at last finished, long year
after the death of Solomon, the staff
crunbled under his weight and the body
fell to the ground. Mahomet alludes to
this curious legend in the following (see
Koran, Sura, xxxiv): "When he God
had decreed that Solomon should die,
nothing discovered death unto them (the
genii) except the creeping thing of the
earth, which gnawed his staff, and when
his body fell down the genii plainly per
ceived that if they had known that which
is secret they would not have continued
in vile punishment

Natures Wonders.
rr,aaan Ctar1

During the recent visit of Jesse r.
Grant and Charles J. Whimple to So
nora, Mexico, Oh business they were
much struck with the sight of terraced
mountain. 1t is located about fifty miles
southwest of Magdalena. The mountain
is circular in form, about three-quarters
Of a mile in diameter at the base and is
terraced from base to peak. The height
of the terrace is from 10 to 10 feet, and
in many places is built of solid masonry
AT many other places it is cut out of
the solid rock. The roadway is from
fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting
at the base of the mountain and coiling
itself, spiral like, to the peak of the
mountain, which is not less than 1900
feet higher than the base. The cost of
this terraced road must have been enor-
nous. The remarkable feature of this
wonder is the state Of l.; preservation.
Here and there the masonry has yielded
to the influences of time but these are
exceptions.
At the base of this terraccd mountain
is mighty door which has the appear
ance Of having been hewn ont of solid
rock and weighs lG0 tens or more. 1t

Mckee Rankin's Mistake.


several years ago, when Mckee Ran

pany at the theatre in Pittsburg, he was
Visited every few days throughout the
entire season by long, lean man, who
looked like a typical countryman. He
tried to induce him to advance money
for the putting of a patent before the
public. The visitor only had one way
of stating his case, and this he religious
ly did on an average of TIRES times
week for thirty weeks. He would
lounge up to Rankin, and after bidding
the actor "good morning" and chatting
for awhile would incidentally remark:
give got patent out of which untold
wealth can be made-if only had about
$500 to get started Now, Mac, I'll give
you half interest in it if you'll advance
the money"
The same speech was repeated so fire.
quently that it became a standing joke
in the company, and the young fellow
who gave utterance to it was looked
upon as a crank by one and ALL Other
people not members of the company
Joined the actors in their estimate of
the mental balance of the inventor. The
season closed. Rankin came to New
York and his friend from Pittsburg was
forgotten until some years later when
"The Danites" was in the flush of its
success.
Rankin was playing the part of Sandy
in Pittsburg, when he received call at
his hotel from one of the millionaires Of
the Smoky City. He was greatly sur
prised to think this man should call on
him, but few moments conversation
put him straight. The visitor was
George Westinghouse and the patent he
"tried" to get Rankin interested in was
the now universally used ''air brake"
the royalties from which amount to
more than $500 900 per annum
