BLOOD Poison In Fowls.

professor Hill in the London Poultry.l
Foul air, bad drainage, deficient light and
ventilation, overcroTding, innutritious food
and debilitating disease, favor the produc-
tion of anomia. Anomic birds are easily
recognized by their bloodless appearance,
especially about the face and eyes, the latter
being usually watery and the white of q
faint blush caste. The mouth and the
throat are unnaturalIy pallid. The plumags
Is lustreless and rufisd. the abdomen be-
comes enlarged and often dropsical, while
the breast is prominent and thin. The SUBJ
ject is dropping and depressed, has no appa-
rent vigor. may be easily caught, and the
hearts action is at once noticed to be weak
and rapid. Indigestion and crop binding are
common associates of anosmia. A bird 30
affected soon becomes emaoiated aud death
is the general sequel. A post mortem exam
ination reveals a psllid condition of the
muscular structures throughout the body,
and also of the internal organs-notably the
heart, lungs and liver, such as may be seen
in bird which has bled to death from fn~
ternal hemorrhage. The treatment consists
In the removal of causes and the adminis-
tration of vegetable and mineral tonics, and
dietetically generous allowance of nutri-
tious and easily assimilated food, but in ad-
vancsd cases of ansmia the latter must not
be introduced suddenly, owing to the weak
state of the digestive organs. The adminis-
tration of medicine to anoemic fowls, espec-
tally chickens, should be very carefully con-
Quoted, es the excitement on weak heart
and feeble circulation is apt to prove fatal.

distant thunder, and the lava beneath their
feet trembled.
The Mexican fed immediatly to the open
air, but before the gentleman could realize 1t
portion of the bottom of the cave fell, and
they with it, into intense darkness. Neither
was injured but the ground upon which they
fell seemed to sway to and fro. Fortunately
one of the party had candle and some
matches, and after innumerable attempts to
light it the candle was made to burn.
When the light was obtained a lake of wat
or, black as pitch, lay at their feet, while the
opposite shore appeared to be moving from
right to left. It seemed that they had land

The Minister'S Rnse.

The collection box in certain Scotch
church was found empty. The minis
ter thereupon joined Tam, the kirk
officer, in his homeward walk after SER
vice, and lamented to him that he
would have to do thing he did not
like, which was "just to raise the
deevil, and he'll come to The man that
took that money, either in a wind
that'll no leave him leaf nor sheaf, or
wi rope to hang him over his own
door" The kirk officer made no reply.
The next night the minister sent a man
over to Tam's barn to hang rope with
Q moose at the end of it on the door.
lam came down to thresh; but, seeing
the moose and his own shadow on the
wall, he rushed back to bed and re-
manned there till daylight. When he
returned the rope was gone. He was
shortly. afterward seen proceeding to
the kirk; and when the box was opened
next Sabbath every missing penny was
found inside.

Hints for Amateur sportsmen.

An excellent treatment for bullet
wound is to wash the wound clean and
cover with clean muslin saturated with
solution Of carholic acid OF alcohol.
The great object is to keep the wound
clean and protected from the air, Do
not foolishly probe for the bullet. 1t
can be better extracted after the heal
ing of the wound.
10 extract fish hooks from your flesh
or clothing cut the leader free and
push the hook on through, depressing
the upper end SO as to bring the point
out as near as possible to where it went
in. Don't try to pull the hook back
over the barb.
Thirst can be abated by the eating
of acid fruits or plants. The chewing
of twigs, barks or leaves of trees and
shrubs will also afford temporary re-
lief Snow and ice aggravate the
thirst by chilling and closing the sa-
livary glands.
Learn to shoot without closing your
eyes when you pull the trigger. Be-
ginpers will find it hard to do this. but
it must be done.
In sighting either shotgun or rifle
the left eye should be closed, except in
the case of left-handed persons; then
the right eye should be closed. Some
men keep both eyes open, but the ma
jority of shooters and all the crack
shots close the left eye.
An extra pair Of socks are handy on
one-day out trip. Then, with your
shoes nicely dried at my lady hosts fire
you will be in comfort for the next
morning on your way home.
Avoid sleeping in close rooms. Keep
the apartment we'll ventilated. Let in
fresh air, but keep out the draught.
When out shooting carry a small
square OF shamois skin saturated with
pure oil. Then you are prepared to
well-grease your gun in case Of rain

to make the scene q truthful repre-
sentation of what stealthy hunter
who could get near enough to such a
group of moose might actually have
seen.
The larger of the rooms occupied by
the taxidermist is now devoted almost
entirely to the moose. In fact, there
is room on the floor for little else, but
the shelves are covered with casts,
drawings, skies, antlers, and the many
materials used by the taxidermist. On
one shelf is a cast made from the head
of q big moose, showing the great de-
velopment Of the flexible nose-a pro-
vision Of nature which enables the ami
NAL to pillow beneath the surface of the
crusted snow in winter in search of the
foliage Of bushes upon which it feeds
at that season, and also aids as a horn
to give volume and effect to it's pecul-
lar and prolonged below when calling
to its mate.
On low platforms on the floor stand
the moose already mounted or in pro-
cess of mounting. The largest of the
group is COW, and the taxidermist
has about completed work upon this
animal. This is the huge creature
from the province of Ontario shot for
the museum by Col. Clay and which
measured 6 feet inches in height at
the withers. It is as large as q big
horse and weighed 1900 pounds. It
is represented with legs somewhat
spread and it's short neck and long
head stretched at an angle upward,
as if reaching out to seize with its
tongue and overhanging upper lip a
leaf or twig from the branch of q tree.
The shortness of the neck, the size Of
the head, and length of the awkward
looking limbs give the creature some
what ungainly aspect, but the taxider-
mist has stuck to the lines laid down
by natures handiwork. The neck is
SO short that it is with difficulty the

dermist, by utilizing the skull and
bones of the animal, secures outlines
and dimensions for which nature is
responsible and cannot be questioned.
This half-made bull is almost as large
as the great COW. Colonel Clay is not
satisfied with its size, however, and
hopes to secure one to substitute for it
"a monarch of it's race, which will
represent fully the height and size at
tanned by the full-grown old moose
bull. This bull is represented stand
ing quietly and naturally in its tracks,
with cts head about the level of its
hump. On the floor lay the leg bones
Of another moose shot by Colonel
Clay, and which soon will have to
perform service as part Of the
skeleton of moose, whose heart and
vitals, circulatory system, muscles
and flesh will be excelsior. When the
body and limbs have been modelled to
accord perfectly with measurements,
sketches and casts taken from the
animal before it was dismembered the
skin has to be put on, and in this the
skill of the taxidermist is severely
tested. The skin has in the first place
to be removed with much care from
the animal after it is shot. Then it
has to be treated carefully so as to pre-
serve all the natural color and aspect
Of the coat, and be kept in flexible
condition without either shrinking OF
stretching. Natures tailoring is done
with much nicely, and even when the
taxidermist has natures own materi-
ais, it is not an easy task to secure the
same exactness of fit in one place or
the soft fold in another as that which
characterized the coat of the live ami
NAL. The workman has to study his
subject thoroughly in order to have
his reproduction of nature look COM
Portable in it's skin.
The group, when mounted, will be
represented feeding in clump of trees,
birch and ash, such as might be found
in the moose country in Northern
Maine or Ontario in the autumn.

The glass-case in which they will be
placed will be Of the same size as that
inclosing the buffalo group-l2 by Is.
In the foreground the big COW will
stand, reaching up and grasping at a
twig with it's tongue and lip. By it
will stand the calf, and the yearling
moose will be standing by with its
head down and tongue protruding,
licking the calls forehead. The other
moose will be feeding near by. The
bull moose, still to be mounted in the
workshop, will be postured in what is
perhaps the most characteristic atti-
tude. The moose, when it cannot con-
veniently feed upon the leaves of q
sapling by reaching upward, will throw
it's weight against the stem of the
sapling, bend it down, and walk astride
of it. It will then feed at ease upon
the succulent twigs and leaves. This
performance is called in moose-hunters'
parlance riding down" tree, and the
moose yet to be rehabilitated will be
represented in the act of feeding on a
sapling which it has ridden down.

there is pool of water and group OF

idermist, is mounting the moose in the
various attitudes they will assume in

many of the details, has gone on trip
