WOMAN AND POULTRY.
Useful Employment for Ladies' in Need of
Outdoor Exercise.

Useful Employment for Ladies' in Need OF
Outdoor Exercise.
A woman's qualifications for poultry
keeping are evidently Of the right kind.
says the Massachusetts Ploughman.
She has an instructive fitness for caring
for young animals and a gentleness and
evenness Of temperament equally valua-
BILE among helpless creatures. The
Danbury mans humorous description of
the different ways in which woman
and man attempt to get hen into
coop and the superiority of the formers
method IS as funny as it is true. After
the hennery or coop is built there is no
department of the work that a woman
cannot perform without exhausting
labor or too heavy demands upon her
time. Down south" poultry raising is
woman's special department, and one
need not go farther south than Balti-
more or Washington to find markets
thronged with female vendors of their
own feathered products. That the bust
ness is profitable the experience of
hundreds testifies. and that it is health
full and may be attractive is susceptible
of demonstration.
Now that there are women gardeners
and florists, who by commendable in
dustry and business qualities have risen
to eminence in those callings, and while
one of the most successful bee-keepers
in the country is a woman, we hope to
see Others give poultry more attention
than it has hitherto received. Aside
from profit the keeping of fine poultry
for fancy is an elegant pastime very
popular with the English, and we see
no reason why the fashion should not
be adopted here The mother and
daughters, the children upon the farm,
can AL help in the good work.
We should be glad to see the lady
poultry-raisers in America largely in
creased in numbers. If those who can
do this thing so easily and so well
could be induced to undertake the
agreeable task more generally we are
quite confident they would find intense
pleasure in the pursuit and we are
sure such movement among the
wives and daughters of our farmers
would not only render it profitable to
themselves but that poultry interests
in the United States would thus be
greatly advanced, and the results of eff
forts would be in the highest degree
creditable to lady breeders, who may
now have or should acquire taste for
this pretty employment.
There would be call for women to
get out of doors, which is often want
ing among busy farmers wives, and we
fear this class suffers more from indoor
confinement than do the majority of
citV-bred ladies'

A veteran Murdered.

Henry Aulfuss, an inmate of the SOL
diers' home at Milwaukee, was found
in Honey creek, about miles from
the home. Several deep gashes were
found on his head, and his hands and
feet were tied with stout rope. There
was no doubt that he was murdered
and then thrown into the creek. He
was a member of Company X, Twen-
ty-eighth Ohio, and about So years of
age. Aulfuss had money with him
when he left the home, but it was miss
ing from the body.

Mistakes.

There is one common ground on
which we can all meet-we have all
made mistakes. In fact, a large portion
of the worlds history-and the saddest
part of it's the record of mistakes.
Philosophers have discoursed of. poets
have sung about, and preachers have
denounced, mistakes. since man had
speech. Bob Ingersoll has lectured on
the Mistakes of Noses Sankey has
sung-"The Mistakes of my life have
been maryland still the human race
goes laundering along, kicking at
hats with bricks under them, betting its
money on the wrong horse, voting for
constituencies demogogues, and getting
left generally. Warning and expostu-
latlon seem to be without effect-but we
feel we ought to say to the travelling
public (and the experience of thousands
will endorse this) that if you contem-
plate a journey, no matter from where
or TO what point, you will make no mis-
take when YOU select THE Burlington"

and the great Mississippi Valley,it is the

Mrs Samuel Drought. Mr.. Drought
and his men were engaged in burning
brush, and Mrs. Drought went to call
them to dinner On her way back she
passed the burning piles, and as one of
them was low she stopped and stirred
1t up. Her dress caught fire and her
screams attracted the attention of Jack
Lawrence, the hired man, who was
some so rods distant. Before he
could reach her and divest her of her
clothing she was so terribly burned
that she died in few hours. Law

hands. which will probably cripple him

terday shows that during the month of No
vember ZIG appeals for assistance were
favorably considered. OF this number TWEEN
ty-eight had been previously relieved and
lightweight applied for the first time; of the
new applicants eleven were females and
seventy-seven males; five persons received
medical treatment. and many were supplied
with medical necessities A very large num-
Der OF persons, both male and female, were
given transportation to the country and OBJ
tanned employment. and many have been
assisted to work in the city. The total
amount expended for relief vas Sl27 70.
a communication was received from the
Associated Charities asking the cooperation
of the society in the wood and coal yard
scheme. This matter was discussed at
length, and several expressed themselves
very forciby concerning tho above-men-
toned organization. 1t seemed general
opinion that the so-called Associated Chari-
ties Is not charity in any sense of the
word but self-constituted Board of Inyes-
tlgatlon which looked into the worthiness
OF applicants for assistance, and referred
the same to the various charitable organza-
lions in the city.
The proposition contained in the commu-
ncation was, that applicants at the rooms
of the Benevolent Society be sent 10 the
wood and coal yard of the Associated Chari-
ties Tor work, the labor to be paid for by the
British organization. The members do not
object to this. but absolutely refuse to pay
their pro rata of the deficit, which comes
around regularly in connection with this
scheme at the end of each month.
The Secretary was instructed to so inform
the Associated Charities. Men applying for
assistance will be sent to saw wood, and
paid for their labor, but the society will not
be held responsible for any part of the deficit
which may occur.
Messrs. Dobinson. Naunton and Bolton

OF Trade yesterday afternoon, in the assem-

cussion their knowledge of marketing in

house OF Il. Wurzburg d Co. Of London,

and products which they may give or sell
for the Chicago Worlds Fair, the same to
be put at the disposition of the State Fair
Commission. Ii was adopted
