THE BRONZE TURKEY.

The bronze turkey is the original bird
from which all the known varieties have
descended. 1t inhabits the greater part
of this continent, and when we'll cared
for and fed, it reaches a weight of from
twenty-five to forty pounds at full
growth. 1t has been much improved
by careful and skilful breeding; its prin-
cipal feature is its handsome plumage,
which is of dark brown color and has
brilliant golden bronze reflections in the
sunlight. Breeders of these birds are
to be found in almost every locality If
only sought for Ne1o York Times.

A short, thick-set man, with silver streaks
in his hair and bushy mustache, stood in the
rotlinda of the Grand Pacific yesterday and
talked earnestly to group of reporters that
encircled him. Friends" he said, 'it is
very warm. Let us go to my room and have
a long drink" This startled the young men,
for the speaker had never said such sweet
words before But recovering quickly, they
followed the man to his room. He rang for
a bellboy, and when the messenger arrived
the host said: bring us four nice, large
sparkling glasses of ice water" Then all was
quiet You could have heard a couple of
pins drop, and each reporter had different
expression on either side of his face. The
host was Francis Murphy, the famous tenn
perance lecturer. -Chicugo Herald.

now TO CATCH A FOWL.

Few persons know how to secure a
fowl to advantage. Never seize fowl
by the tail, if fine bird, nor touch the
back, but grasp both legs at once, with
firm, tight, quick hold, and then raise
free from the ground or perch aud hang
the body down clear of any obstacle.
This method does not rufile the plumage
or turn a feather, which in fine bird
must be avoided. When the web of the
feathers is once broken it can never be
united again, and where much handled
this often occurs, giving to the bird a
ragged appearance. 1t is the source of
much annoyance to nice, clean, smooth
bird to have the plumage rufiled. Their
bodily covering is regarded with the ut
most care, and the lustre aud beauty of
it indicate the health and strength of the
fowl. -HdRsas Farmer.

PLANTS THAT GATHER NITROGEN.

Certain plants of the leguminous fami-
ly-sueh as the cloyers, peas and many
others belonging to that class-are not
only valuable for their own products, but
also for the effects following their cult
walton upon crops OF other varieties that
succeed them. This was know to farm

rotation of crops, before scientists had
discovered the source from which the
most important constituent OF the leg
umes is largely derived.

CURING HAY.

I Glover not thoroughly dried may be
safely put in barns with tight siding, so
that air cannot come in at the sides.
But if very green it must be entirely free
from water, either of dews or rain, which
carries bacteria to the hay, and creates
more violent fermentation than is pos
sible with the juices of the clover alone.
The heat of fermentation dries up these
juices so that they make sweet, gummy
substance that is really preservative. If
no air can get in, then such hay would
keep, as preserves are kept in closed jars.
But the mixture of old hay or straw with
new prevents all danger of loss. A farmer
remarked that some years ago he had
stack of hay so poor that cattle ate only
q little of it, and he purchased grain
and fed straw with il instead. Next
haying time he made a stack of new hay,
drawing clover almost as soon as cut, and
putting on first a layer of old hay, then
Of grass, until the stack was completed.
The mixture made excellent hay. The
old and the new were eaten with equal
greediness. He believed that the same
result would have followed alternating
green hay with straw, excepting that the
straw has "a lower nutritive value. Part,
however, of the defective nutrition oi
straw is due 10 its lack of attractive
flavor. In so far as it can be given the
aroma of new clover hay, its digestibilit!
is increased. Whatever is eaten with q
relish does more good than when forced
down. Straw can thus be improved a
feed, besides helping to secure hay in
better condition than would otherwise b,
possible. This plan is best suited to out
door stacks. Few farmers have enougl
barn room TO stack much straw.--Bost0

Riding a Camel Not Very Poetic.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was once the guest of a rich
Hamburg merchant. The merchants
son, young man of somewhat senti-
mental temperament, said that his dear
est wish was to ride across the desert
on the back of camel. He thought
such ride must be very poetical in
deed. My dear young friend" re-
piled the explorer, " can tell you how
you can get a partial idea of what rid
ing a camel on the desert of Africa is
like. Take an office stool, screw it up
as high as possible, and put it into a
wagon without any strings; then seat
yourself upon the stool and have it
driven over uneven and rocky ground
during the hottest weather of July or
August, after you have had nothing to
eat or drink for twenty four hours, and
then you will get faint idea of how
delightfully."- poetic it is to ride on a
camel in the wilds of Africa. "-LondOn

The Richest Man in America.

Men in a position to judge of the for
tunes of the wealthy men of the country
are beginning to agree that Mr.. Rookie
Teller is the richest man in the United
States, and consequently in America.
The collective wealth of the Astors or
Vanderblts is greater than his, but it
is averred that no individual Aston or
Vanderbilt is as wealthy. Jay Gould
is reckoned many millions below him in
actual riches. Judge Stevenson Burke,
the Cleveland attorney. capitalist, and
railroad man, told me recently that Mr..
Rockefeller was the richest man in
America. The judge was formerly an
attorney of the Vanderbilts and he had
dealings with Jay Gould, so that he is
in position to judge. He thinks that
Mr.. Rocketeller's yearly income is now
nearly $1,0O0,000 per year. 1t has all
been made out of the Standard Oil
Company, of which great monopoly
Mr.. Rockefeller is the principal stock

The Japanese People.

As for the people, am, and always
shall be, of good St. Francis Xavier's
feeling: "This nation is the delight of
my SOUL" Never have | passed days
more happy, tranquil, or restorative
than among japanese of all classes, in
the cities, towns and villages of Japan.
Possibly that is because l have had no
business relations with my kind and
pleasant Niponese friends, and have
never talked very much metaphysics;
but it seems certainly an easy way to
keep on the right side of folks, to let
philosophy and theology alone. More
over, it is, no doubt, necessary for
such experiences to go little behind
that sort of Japan which you find on
the HatobdS of Yokohama or Kobe; in
the YOshSUdraS of those and the other
open ports. AT very little distance
from the surface, which we civiizing
westerners have done our best to spoil,
will be still discovered the old, change
less, high-tempered, generous, simple
and sweet-mannered Japan of old. l
frankly confess it has entirely charmed
me; and therefore what | say of this
japanese nation, and their manners
and customs, must be received with the
proper caution attaching to the Ian
guage of friend, and even a lover.
But where else in the world does there
exist such conspiracy to be agreeable;
such widespread compact to render
the difficult affairs of life as smooth
and graceful as circumstances admit;
such fair DEGREES of fine behavior fixed
and accepted for all; such universal
restraint of the coarser impulses of
speech and act; such pretty picturesque
ness of daily existence; such lively
love of nature as the embellisher of
that existence; such sincere delight in
beautiful artistic things; such frank
enjoyment of the enjoyable; such ten
derness to little children; such rever-
ence for parents and old persons; such
wide-spre ad refinement of taste and
habits; such courtesy to strangers;
such willingness to please and to
be pleased SIR EdWin Arnold, in
Scribner'S.

The Worm Turned.

The minister of the Episcopal church
in Cardiff, Wales, lately sharply re-
proved the members of his congrega-
ton for not attending the morning serv-
ices, including his own family in the
delinquency. Thereupon one of his
own daughters, to the general astonish-
ment, talked back, ahd to some purpose.
She declared that her father, when he
first awoke, could not rise unless hot
water was brought and the towel was
placed under his nose. She related
how boots had to be cleaned, fires
lighted and the breakfast prepared,
and then went on to describe how the
worthy clergyman required his book,
and his coat, and his gloves, and his
hat, and his stick, and his cake and his
wine before he was ready to start to his
work. This was all detailed with MI
nuteness and volubility. The reverend
father kept no servant, and there was
the household work to be done, and be-
sides he insisted upon hot dinner
served with punctuality. The minister
isn't likely to refer to the matter again.

A Fire in London.

The recent large fire in London and
the mention of the twenty-six hand
engines that tried to combat it, brings
to mind what was meant to be thrill
ling account, in recent novel, of fire
whereby the heroine lost her life and
the hero was injured severely. These
innocent persons were in rear room
of public house when a fire broke out
in front room. They fled to a second
story front room. Meantime, a man
had run from the front room, and had
told a policeman of the fire. The po-
liceman ran to the public TO see if
the fire was really serious. Then he
"sprang his rattle" and ran to the
nearest fire-escape. Then he ran to his
section house. An inspC ctor of police
and some policemen visited the scene,
and the former declared that he would
have to send for the fire brigade. He
did go, and in time it came. 1t was a
steam engine, but steam wasn't up, and
it took some time to make the kettle
boil. Meantime, hero and heroine were
at the second,story front window
say twenty feet from the sidewalk, at
most-pale, but encouraged by the
shouts of the crowd. A fireman sug-
gests to the chief that he might use a
lifeline; the chief, who has retained his
composure, tells him that he may do so
if he thinks it will be of any use-he
has his doubts, however. The fireman
mounts the tire-escape, and with the
practiced eye and hand of one who has
served her majesty at sea in storm and
stress, hurts the weighted lifeline
around his head and into the second
floor front window. However, Heroine
has dropped out upon the pavement to
be killed; Hero is rescued-he climbs
down or drops to the sidewalk-and in
the confusion of getting the leading

The Smuggler's Paradise.

Looking at the map one may see
that the northwest corner of the state
of Washington is torn off, and the
space that is left is filed with water,
dotted with an archipelago. The island
of Vancouver fits partially into the
gaping corner as if it had been torn out
by some gigantic CONFUSION. The tat
ters and debris of the rent form the
archipelago. Our national interest
oentered in that corner long ago when
that portion of the boundary was in
dispute, and the tension of war feel
ing was only relieved when foreign
arbitrator settled the boundary and
gave us the island of San Juan, the
most important in the group. The
city of Victoria confines nearly all the
population on that corner of Vancouver
Island; the city of Vancouver is the
main settlement on the British Column
bia shore; and on our borders are
such little places as Whitcom, New
Dungeness and Port Angeles, in the
state of Washington. Port Townsend,
on Puget Sound, is the principal Amer
lean town near by, and the head
quarters of the scanty force of customs
officials who are supposed to guard
against the smuggling, and who are en-
titled to the presumption that they are
doing their best in this direction. Vic
toria has only 10000 population, Van
couver fewer still, and the islands only
here and there house. Deer abound
upon these islands, which are heavily
timbered, and the waterways between
them feel the keels of but few vessels
of none at all, except the smallest craft,
outside the main channels. 1t would
be hard to imagine a more difficult
region to police, or fairer field for
smugglers. Old London itself has
scarcely a greater taugle of crooked and
confusing thoroughfares than this arch
ipelago possesses, and these waterways
are so narrow and sheltered that mere
Oarsmen can safely and easily travel
many of them. 1t is a smuggler's par.
adise. The resident Chinese act as
their confederates and as the agents of
the struggled men, but do no part of
the actual smuggling, that is to say, the
boating. The great smuggling is of
opium. The introduction of the Chi
nese themselves is of small account, so
far as the defiance of our laws is con-
cerned, as compared with the introduce
ton of opium. Yet that extensive
business also is carried on by white
men can, therefore they leave the
traffic to the whites.-JuliGn Ralph, in
HGrper'S M0gazine.
