Sixty Years Ago.

Sixty Years Ago.
A few days ago the Albany Journal
reprinted in fac smile the first page of
the first number of the journal of
March 90, 1880. The post of honor as
containing the most important news of
that day, was given to table filling
more than column and half, to be
corrected weekly. In this table was
found information about the bank bills
which person was likely to find among
his money. One of the prime neces-
sites of that time was bank note de-
tector, and one of the risks was that a
man might wake up any morning and
find half the bills in his pocket worth
less from the failure of the State banks
that had issued them. Again, a BUSH
ness man coming from another State
or even from another part of this State,
needed the deteetor to tell him how much
discount the bills, which were good at
their face value in the place he came
from, were subject to in the town where
he wanted to use them.
In the table referred to the bills of
the banks III and around Albany, at
Schenectady, Troy and Lansingburg
are quoted at par, but from Newburg,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo
they were from one-fourth to 1 per
cent. diseount-that is, the bills of
sound banks. The bills of a bank at
Catsknl and one at Poughkeepsie are
quoted as worth so cents on dollar,
one at Hudson 40 cents, and one in New
York 20 cents. The New England bills
averaged about one-half of 1 per cent.
discount, but the number of banks re-
ported as broken" is large, Connecticut
furnishing two, Rhode Island one, Mas
sachusetts four, and Maine five in the
list in the Journal The more distant
the banks that issued the bills the
larger the discount. Pennsylvania bills
averaged IL per cent. discount, Yir-
ginia bills q South Carolina and Geor-
gia bills 8, Ohio bills 4, Mississippi bills
10, and Alabama bills 90. Bills that
were perfectly good one day might be
worthless the next. These troubles
with the old State bank bills are
worth remembering and worth re-.

it necessary to use .incubators of soma

we do not pretend TO say, for there ara
several which will do good work when
running according to directions. It
foolish to expect ineubators to hatch
every egg and run themselves without
care.
1t is not very difficult or expensive
matter to hatch out the chicks, but the
trouble and work commences as soon as
the chicks are Matched by properly car
ing for them. A good brooder and
artificial heat is absolutely necessary to
success, and a suitable room or building
should be provided which need not be
very expensive.
AS to food we have dropped the hard.
boiled egg system. Unless occasionally
fed mixed with other food it is sure to
cause bowel trouble.
Generally we feed chicks when they
are about twenty-four hours old; we
place dry (pin head oatmeal and luke

as soon as they require it. When they
are few DAYS old feed bread or crack.

Very young chicks have small crops,
therefore they require feeding at least
four to six times day, or every two
hours. Give them different varieties of
food such as boiled rice, table scraps
and never feed more than they will eat

Chicks treated in this manner will
grow fast, and be ready for market at

To realize profit from the use Of fer
tilizers, we must experiment to see
what kinds furnish the best results. In
my belief plat experiments are the key
that will unlock the profits of agricult-
ure. My experience is that good crops
find ready market. Buyers always
come to my door; never have to huns
them up. The prescription for my land
is to always keep it in good condition,
and when this is done, it is very re-.

Famine in Galicia.

According to the Polish press famine
has already broken out in Austria's great
Polish province of Galicia. In eighteen
districts of that province the crops this
year have been entirely lost. The har-
vest was, moreover, very bad in forty
eight other districts. Only in twenty
three districts did the peasantry get
enough food for themselves and their
live stock for the winter 1t is announced
that in many places the peasants are kill
ing their horses rather than see them
starve. Nearly 100, 900 horses are said to
have already been thus destroyed, and
their carcasses sold as manure. In some
parts there are large heaps Of the bodies
of horses now lying on the roadside. In
one district 1,500 horses are said to have
been sold ut the price Of sixpence a head
to manufacturer of compost, as the
railway rates are too high to make the
export Of the emaciated animals pay

Hunting for Buried Treasure.

A story is told in an Allahabad paper
of a Brahmin, who, living at Monghyr,
rejoiced in the possession of an amulet
which had fallen to him from long gen
erations of ancestors. Like most anu
lets, however, it proved no charm
against poverty, and, reduced by the
pangs of hunger to the last extremity.
the Brahmin went to a goldsmith and
offered his amulet for sale. The gold
smith broke it up to test the quality of
the metal, and discovered within its hol.
low center q scrap of paper covered with
minute reading, which recorded that
close to the shrine of Pr Shah Napol
there lay buried treasure to the value of
fourteen lacs of rupees. The Brahmin
has now obtained the sanction Of the
government to have the plot of ground
excavated. a rich Mahajan of Monghyr
has taken q contract for digging the
ground, on condition that six anna
share of the entire property be given to
him. The government will take one
fourth and the remainder will be the
Brahmin's Many laborers have been en-
gagged to dig up the place, but no trace
of the money has yet been discovered

The Normal" Diet,

According to Dr.. G.. Munro Smith. in
The Bristol Medico Chirurgical Journal,
the daily destructive metabolism, which
is the great criterion of work done, does
not vary much among different occupa-
tions. Promising that he does not con-
slider moderate over eating injurious, he
finds that very many men eat consider
ably more than the most liberal tables;
it is not an uncommon thing for an aver
age sized man on very moderate wcrk to
eat twenty-five or twenty-seyen ounces
of chemically dry food a day. Women
eat much less than men, after making
allowances for differences in weight
and work. Where a man eats nineteen
ounces, woman of the same weight
and of active habits eats only fourteen
or fifteen ounces.
On diet from which all meat is ex-
cluded, he has found that twelve to thir-
teen ounces per diem will comfortably
feed hard working man. A moderate
amount of stimulants appears to increase
the average; moderately free drinking
diminkhes it. 4 diet consisting of one
part of nitrogenous to seven oreight nom
nitrogenous is good combination; it is
greatly exceeded on the nitrogenous side
by the majority of men and women, cs-
pecially the former A diet ostwelve to
fourteen ounces of chemically dry food,

proportion, is sufficient to keep in good
health an average sized man on moderate

"Dutch Treat" Theatre Parties,

The theatre party, which for some rea-
son fell into IL sort of semi-decline toward
the end of last winter, is being revived
and the excellence of the present attrac-
tions at the theatres is perhaps RESPONSE
BILE for its resuscitation. Parties of six,
eight, ten and dozen have been fre-
quent during the week and have doubt
less been welcomed by the managers,
who are thankful, of course, for the add
ed brilliance lent to their audiences
thereby. The latter day theatre party
and the one the most popular, so far as I
can see, is very matter of fact affair."
The burdenSome practice-burdensom
in double sense-of loading down
the ladies with cumbersome hand
bouquets has gone out, something
for which the young men are no
doubt properly thankful, and it is no
longer the correct thing, understand,
for the party to monopolize the attention
of the audience, to the exclusion of the
people on the stage, by loud converse
tion on commonplace subjects during
the performance. The ''Dutch" theatre
party is growing i'll popularity. 1t Sc
cures its name from the principle of
Clutch treat" on which it is organized.
Each gentleman purchases his own ticket
and that of the lady it is his privilege to
escort, and the inevitable supper after
the performance is conducted on the
same line. The privilege of paying for
the chaperon's ticket and supper is usually
decided bv casting lots. and it goes with
out saying that the winner Of that lux
ury is keenly envied by his competitors.

or Intersst to MEXICAN Dudes.


A decision which may be of some inn
portance to the gilded youth of this
capital, provided the courts here adopt,
as is the present fashion i'll our juris-
prudence, the American precedent, is
that of Massachusetts judge who had
before him a case in which Mr. Broad
man Hall sued q tailor for the recovery
of the price paid for Il suit Of custom
made clothes. which the plaintiff averred
did not fit him. Mr. Hall, ON ordering
the clothes, left deposit with the tailor.
In due time Mr.. Hall received the gar
ments, which he found did not fit. Ac
cordingly he returned them to the tailor,
asking that his money be refunded.
This the defendant refused to do, and
offered to alter the clothes so that they
would fit, or else make the plaintiff q
new suit. But the plaintiff would not
accept the offer, saying that che had no
more time to be experimental on"
Counsel for the plaintiff claimed that
when the latter left the order for the
clothes it was with the understanding
that they were to prove satisfactory, and
that the defendant had received his part
of the bargain, while the plaintiff had
got no return.
The judge, who seems to be a second
Solomon, said lie thought that when q
tailor made any article of clothing for a
person it was generally understood that
it was to be good fit The tailor could
have had the customer try on the cloth
ing as many times as he chose in order
to have it right, but as soon as the cloth
ing was completed the contract was at
an end. In view of this fact he said he
would have to decide in favor of the
plaintiff for recovery in full of the
money paid the defendant on the clothes.
A similar decision here might prove
ruinous to the sartorial fraternity, but
would be highly satisfactory to the wear
ers of the eccentric garments which some
of them place on their unfortunate Gus
toners. The precedent cited will fill
with terror the men of shears and needle.
