FELT LIKE GETTING RIGHT UP IN MEETING
AND CoNTRADrTING.-We listened the other
day to an address delivered by an able and
wel-known authority on poultry-raising 1t
was very practical, and abOunded in good
common-sense; but it lost all of it's value and
force in one remark 1t was one that is more
or less true, and is common to the average
poultry article" in the newspapers 1t was
this: eff you want eggs be careful and not
have your hens fat" We felt like getting
right up in meeting and contradicting This
is not our experience; and it makes no differ
ence who says it, it is "A mistake. 1t requires
qualification. hen made fat by fat-forming
foods like corn-meal, is apt to be too fat to
lay" but one that is fed on the Prolific Poul-
try Food will be plump and round and LAY
all the time" In this essential the Food has
no rival. There are preparations fed for the
same purpose that Make hens lay" but the
hens are off flesh as if fed on oats. Not so
the Prolific Food. Mixed with the morning
mess the hens will not only return many
times the cost in the increased production of
eggs, but the hen can be taken from her nest
for the table and be as fit for it as a young
eockerel. More than this,-there is no prepa-
ration more economical. Only small quanti-
ties are fed, and the cost is but % cents a

SOUTH SEA CASTAWAYS.

Five Lawyers Seek to Learn Whether
They Ran Away or Cut Adrift.
Julius Cesar and Conrad lines, the two
colored men who went adrift in a small
boat from the American schooner Chal-
lenger, while in the South Seas, and who,
upon return to the United States in the
man-of-war Adams, were arrested tor steal
ing the boat, had their examination yester-
day before United States Commissioner
Sawyer The case was noticeable for the
formidable array Of legal talent marshaled
for the defense Carroll Cook, j. L. Foulds,
Ben +. Napthaly and j. d. Sullivan looked
after the interests Of the prisoners, while
Assistant District Attorney Weller APP
peared for the Government.
The testimony Of Captain Thomson and
Second Mate Garrett of the schooner was
to the effect that the two dusky rovers of
the seas deliberately stole the boat, lower
ing it from the deck after dark, while no
body was looking. and hied themselves
hence with it. The defendant Julius Cesar,
who looked powerful enough to take an
ordinary boat on his shoulders and dark
enough to appear part of the blacklist
night, gave his testimony to the contrary
effect in an intelligent, straightforward way.
He said that himself and shipmate were
engaged ell day in cleaning the sides of the
vessel, and that sudden change of weather
compelled them to cut adrift to save the
boat from capsiziDg. They were at sea in
the open boat for five days and nights with
out food or water before they were able to
reach one of the islands. from which they
were taken by the United States steamer
Adams and brought to this port Caesar
subsequently donned the uniform of the
Adams.
The District Attorney thought that
prlma face case had been made out against
the prisoners, but Commissioner Sawyer
took the case under advisement until to-day.

the cost of it was e335, 600.
What the gold and ivory Athena of Phid-

The gold employed on the movable drapery

Thucydides, whose eXactness in such mat

equivalent to some El16,000 in coin;

at the Health Office against certain persons
who they claim have paid them visits dur
ing the past few days and under the guise
of authority have inspected the ranches
and exacted fee therefor.
Yesterday two such ranch-owners went to
the Health Office and complained that a

visited and the owners thereof had paid for
the puff" matter.
They suggested that an inquiry be made
into the matter; also that the dairy limits
should be extended beyond Bernal Heights,
as sick cows, 1t was stated, are regularly
sold to persons who make business of
purchasing such meat. Instances were
also given where such sales have occurred.
A dairyman who has fifty COWS at South

Office that three weeks ago a man had

TILE MOOUlS EAT ICE-CREAM.

1t Was Their First Taste OF Congesled
JOY and They ReveIed in 1t.
A few summers ago one Of the surgeons
connected with the Army Medical Museum
was delegated to make a trip to the far
West and witness the celebrated "snake
dance" of the Moqui Indians, a ceremony OF
that nation which occurs every three years,
and look into its realism. Living rattle
snakes are used at this dance, and the care
less manner in which the Indians handle
them would astonish the boldest snake
juggler' Of the side-shows. The doctor wit
messed the ceremony and was very kindly
treated by all the big chiefs, and, in TACT,
all the tribe.
Last week five of the head men of the
tribe were on visit to Washington for the
first time. never even having seen railroad
train until they left for this city. They ar
rived here in good shape, and our army
surgeon determined to recipr0cate the hos
FATALITIES he had received from them when
in their country. Thursday night the doc
tor, with few friends, had the Moquis at
the opera to see "Amorita." The party
occupied two boMs. The Indians enjoyed
the performance very much in quiet way
''coons" in the second act, when they be-
came so much excited that they attracted
the attention Of the whole audience. After
the second act they were taken to the doc
tors house In the West End, where they
were given little feed of ice-cream, etc.
Never having tasted frozen milk be-
fore, it was queer sight to see them
make way with it. Some could not get
enough and shoyeled it in by the spoon
full, while one old chief quietly ate his
with knife, spreading it on cake like but
ter, and anything he did not care to eat
would be pitched under the table, regard
less of polished floor and Turkish rugs.
After they had fed each one made speech,
in which they expressed their appreciation
of the kindness they had received from their
white brethren, and that when they returned
home they would tell all their people, and
they were sure that when white people Wis
tied them again they would have hearty
welcome The speeches were all delivered
in the Moqui language, and were translated
by the interpreter, MIR. Keam. who, to-
gether with the agent, accompanied the
party.
When it came time for them to return to
their hotel they babe good-by to their
hostess, who presented them with some
bright-c0lored silk handkerchiefs, which
fairly made the eyes of the children of ma
ture dance with pleasure. Altogether, the
evening was one of much pleasure to all
concerned, and very unique, to say the least
