LONDON, Oct. 24.-The Eastbourne
express train was nearly wrecked near
Corydon by running into a mass of fish
plates and tie-chairs which had been
maliciously placed upon the track.
The engineer saw the obstacle,
and succeeded in somewhat checking
the speed of the train, but the engine
plunged through the mass of iron and
was badly damaged. The remainder of
the train was unchanged. The rail-
road company has asked the Scotland
yard authorities to aid in detecting the
authors of this crime and the recent
similar outrage at Reading.

THE ENGLISH FLOODS.

They Have Never Been Equaled Within
the Present Century.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-Politics, both for
eign and domestic, give way in public
interest to the extensive floods, never
equaled in England within the present
generation. and far more widespread
than the Moray floods of sixty years
ago, which, however, destroyed many
lives. The foods have come so gradu-
ally that nearly every one had a chance
to escape, although the plains are un-
der water, and rivulets have swollen to
rivers.
The chief anxiety felt is as to
whether the waters will altogether re-
tire from some of the regions invaded,
especially the lowlands near the sea,
large sections of which have been res
cued for cultivation by the labor OF
centuries. Should the floods, which
are still rising in many places. not soon
subside, much damage will be caused.

Lice.
American Poultry Yard

Uncanny subject isn't it? But it needs
to be spoken of. Poultry breeders need TO
be constantly reminded of it. Many a
breeder has a flock of lousy fowls and
doesn't even suspect it. All ut once he
learns the fact, and then matters which be-
fore were mysterious to him become clear
as daylight. Why those feathers were
missing why the hens ceased to lay, why
disease seems so unconquerablp, why the
fowls, though we'll fed, were poor and
weak--all these things become clear when
he knows that lice are plentiful.
No use now of giving directions for
preventing their appearance. Volumes
on cleanliness, on oiled roosts. on insect
powders in the nests and dust baths are
of little value. What is needed is to know
how to get rid of the yermln.
Clean up, remove the filth, sweep down
the cobwebs, wash the windows, and make
the house clean to the eye, whitewash the
wall, fill cracks and crevices with lime, in
ject kerosene into the r0ost supports, oil
the rooSts themselves. These are necessary
steps. But something more is needed
Fumigate, fumigate. tumieate, drive out
all the fowls, close the windows and
doors, shut up the entrances aud the exits,
and then, provided with tin pan, a pack
age of sulphur, Il newspaper, kerosene
can and a bunch of matches. enter the
house, set the pan In the middle of the
floor, and if it is d wooden floor, in d tub of
water to prevent any danger from fire. In
the bottom of the pan place newspaper
crumbled up, polr on it enough kerosene
to saturate the paper. Upon the paper
pour couple of pounds of sulphur, then
strike match. touch with its blaze the
paper saturated with kerosene and stay in
the house if You think best, but our ad vice
is to get out quickly and leave the hou@e
closed for several hours. When you open
it and air it out for the fowls there will
not be live louise in the house, and the
germs of disease which have been lurkin g
about will have p rished.
Then take the fowls themselves. hold
each fowl by the legs, head down, and
work through the plumage insect powder;
put insect powder into the nests to which
the hens resort, and AID it to the dust
bath freely. Repeat this operation at in
tervals OF three or four days for period
OF one or two weeks, and if the above
directions are followed and the usual pre-
cautlonary and preventive measures used,
you will be troubled with no more lice.
The fowls will show decided gain in
flesh and appearance, their combs will
take on the rosy hue of health, gloss will
come upon their plumage, and the inter
mitetnt LAYING will become more regular
and constant. The trouble and expense
to which you have been at will be quickly
and rapidly repaid, ana the fowls which
you were keeping at loss, and which
were source of discomfort to you, viii
become profitable and afford you health.

There is gentle stranger drawing nigh TO every

'Tis no more the face of stranger, but friend
whom well we know.
He came at first an infant, and His resi- was in the

For the mn was full of pilgrims on that wondrous
Christmas night;
But He STAYED for love and duty.
And to fill the world with beauty.
Bringing perfect JOY for sorrow, turning darkness
into light.
by bells carols,
But in pure pathetic pictures of the garden and
the cross;
Yet He came to bring us pleasures,
And to make rich with treasures,
And He did not shrink from sorrow, or poverty, or
loss.
Once it seemed that He was leaving, but He said
as He was passing,
Lo, am with you Away! And we know He comes
today
With His hands full of blessing,
Little children still caressing,
And dispensing gifts of bounty unto all about His
- way.
Very near He is to some who have longed for His
appearing.
And they seem to hold communion with the Mas
ter whom they love.
You can see their glad eyes glisten,
As to His dear voice they listen,
And the earthly homes frightened with the
Joy of heaven above.
That He turns to some with yearning and they do
not care to know Him;
Tho their hearts are faint with sorrow and their
eyes with tears dim;
He would chase away their sadness,
Till they sang out for very gladness,
But they will not let Him hear them, they can find
no room for Him.
o, the Lord is very patient very tender and for
giving:
Let US give Him reverent welcome, let us worship
Him i'll song!
Let us tell again the story
OF His birth and life ah.i glory,
And pray that all the weary world may know Ills

CHATTER WY NEW RESPONSIBILITIES
One evening not long after the recep-
ton, when Lord Waverland and his
friends were enjoying game Of billiards,
shout, wild and terrific, rang out upon
the air 1t filed the house with a strange,
weIru sC:1nu. from every room the IL
mates in their alarm fastened to the hall.
1t was bright from the light made by the
burning stables. All round the house and
yard a throng of people crowding and
shouting in great excitement, were calling
loudly for Lord Wayerland.
The party left the billiard hall and Lord
Waverland sat covered down in a corner
of the room, trembling with fear. His face
was haggard with a terrible dread. His
conscience told him, but too truly, what
this midnight visit meant. Hoarse voices
Numbered up from below, Bring him out,
or we'll burn him out"
Every face in the room was white with
terror. What could be done? l went to
the window and threw open the sash; as /
did so a ball came whizzing and lodged in
the window casing. I lodged, but there
was no time to quail. The men below
were carrying large torches of blazing
fagots.
"What will you do if Lord Waverland
answers your call?' asked.
''Make him promise to reduce our rents
and relieve our wants, or We'll show him

crowd

people, and they began throwing logs
against the doors. Something must be
done, for there was no way of escaping
from the house. We all went to Lord Wa
verland and urged and entreated MIN to
go to the window. He sat glum and made
no reply to our pleadings. At last Miss
Everett went to linn and said:
Sir, if you do not answer we must all
perish"

moments the cheering continued. When
there was lull she called out again:
