ROUP IN HOT WEATHER.
Don't waste time and energy trying to
win back to life chickens which are bad

You can easily waste enough time over
SICK chicken to buy two or three we'll

orous and intelligent treatment, and then
II she shows no signs of recovery stop
her suffering with equal promptness.
This plan is much less cruel and more
economical than trying to prolong what
Will probably never be a profitable ex-
istence.
Blchromate of potash, saws an au-
thorlty, is the best remedy for roup, and
1t IS the drug used by physicians for
dlphthcrla. 1t comes in a powder. and
the strongest that can be obtained at the
druggists should be used for this pur-
pose. 1t should be given dry on the
tongue IN doses as large as medium
sized pea, and it should be given four
times IN twenty-four hours, followed
each time by washing head, throat and
nostrlls with chlorinated soda water or
weak vinegar. A little later small diet
OF cruel with meat and onions in it and
little milk puch should be given.
kerosene is good remedy, but it is
SO harsh that the birds suffer fearfully.
Cool fresh water, with little iron in it,
should be kept near the chickens suffer-
ing from roup. Generally roup comes
from the introduction of new stock in
the poultry yard, and the best way to
avoid this is to keep new poultry in
another yard for week or two. When
the birds are convalescent they should
be given strengthening food and tonics,
and be protected from strong, bullying
chickens which would only worry them
and probably induce a relapse. Roup
treated In this way should be cured in
ten days; if not it is generally hopeless

An Athletic King.

The King of Italy takes greater in
terest in athletics and military affairs
than he does in the arts and sciences of
philosophy. He delights in distributing
medals and badges to winners in athletic
contests. He contributes large sums to-
ward the support of institutions of learn
ing, and tries to encourage the study of
the sciences as much as he can. But he
is somewhat negligent about himself. A
story is told of how once deputation
of professors waited on him, and he
asked the spokesman what he taught.
Il teach philosophy, your Majesty" re-
piled the professor. PHILOSOPHY 2
That must be very nice science" re-
marked King Humbert.-NeW York

The latest hair bang is called the Bern
hardt bang, according to the Pittsburo
Dispatch, and was originated by a coun-
trywoman of the celebrated French act
ress. Its effect is entirely novel. All
the heavincss that false hair usually
brings to the face is banishel by the
Bcrnhardt, which has a light part in the
middle Of the brow, where a light fluff
falls nearly to the eyes on each side and
forms softly curled wave of hair, but
waved with the old pervading air of
Eghtness. By the way, this face artist
declares that Bernhardt is the greatest
judge of powder of any women in the
world. She would test the quality of
the powder by taking pinch of the
cosmetic between her fingers, crushing
it to find out its quality pinch by pinch.
And while on the subject of powders it
is just as well to state that powder pulfs
are now being made of enormous size, as
large as the top of an ordinary sugar
basin, the handle being modelled after
the bust Of some celebrated person.
Sometimes the handle unscrews and con-
tains in its hidden space either a supply
of powder or eyebrow pencils and other
accessories for the beauty's toilet. These
pulls are most convenient, especially for
travel and for summer sojourning, where
the aids of beauty must not be neglected.

When man has created habit OF
eating at a certain place he thinks of that
particular place whenever he gets hun
CRY. He may have begun by accident,
having secured a good seat, a good
waiter OR got acquainted with the pro-
prietor or got some favorite dish to his
taste or met .,greeab!e people. Some
insignificant thing struck him favor
ably. In few days he goes there by
habit He gets angry and dissatisfied
every now and then and tries another
place, but lie finds drawbacks every
where and goes back again. Habit is
stronger than the attraction of superior
food and cookery-stronger than money
considerations. If it were not for habit
the good will of q hotel or newspaper
would be worthless and scores of res
taurants around town would be closed
q month. N. Y. Herald.

W0MAN'S WORLD,
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS,


The summer lingerie is the most caress-
ing neckwear we have had for many sea-
sons. The creamy, flmy stuff quivering
in the breezes as the dainty wearerx
stroll along the seashore path, blows
against the soft, pink cheek-and how
sweet the contrast! Then the tichus
starting wide and deep at the neck and
descending conelike below the waists
with patterns Of seaweed, ferns and pop
pies, and the convent Hamburg collars
IN sailor shapes with crosses, crowns and
anchors, are wonderfully delicate and
bccomlng.-Nelc York Recorder.

STRAY LOCKS.

Perhaps nothing SO much adds to OF
detracts from woman's personal az
pearance as the style In which her hai1
is dressed. The hairdressers of the day
seem to appreciate the fact, and are de-
voting their best talents to the invention
of new and picturesque styles. One
Greek couture recently worn by Lon
don hostess is specimen. The ''ingenu''
and the couture gracieuse are also good
samples. 1t has been said that to be
we'll dressed there are two absolutely
essential points, to be bien gante ct
bien chausse; but there is no doubt that
if a woman wants to look her best it IS
even more necessary that she should be
bicn coitte. Every one must have no.
ticed how different a face will look &C
cording to the style in which it certainly
becomes less plain. One of the new
headdresses designed for evening wear
would, for instance, brighten up almost
any young face. On the other hand,
some striking styles, like the ''gracieuse,"
can only be worn by matured women of
pronounced and striking beauty.
Fluffy hair, which was the envy OF
every girl that did not possess it, has
given place to glossy, we'll kept locks,
which, however, are curled and ironed
into the crinkley waves which are very
fashionable just at present. The great
fluffy bangs covering the forehead and
ears, and reminding one of Shetland
pony, are to-day scorned. The smartest
way of arranging the hair is the way in
which fashionable Paris headdresser
recently did it. Dividing the hair on
either side he pinned it upon the top
firmly with little pin. He then braided
1t in one long braid and doubled it un-
derneath, pulling it through strand of
the braid at the nape of the neck. 1
this way the braid does not sag down or
look ungraceful, but fits to the shape of
the head, following its curve up to the
crown, when it is combed apart, divided
and the ends made into smooth, beau
tiful bow-knot. The bang he cut into
different lengths and curled it in five
distinct curls, three on the top, curling
them crosswise. Next taking all the
remaining bang, save very little on the
forehead, and curling it toward the back
of the head, he finished it by curling the
remainder over the forehead. He then
waited until it was all entirely cool, when
he pulled the curls all apart, touching
none but the very light bang on the fore
head with the comb, in this way keeping
them in little curls setting close to the
head.-H. Louis Republic.
