SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON.
The character of the dark horse in the
California Senatorial race has been blackened,
at all events

LOVERS are supposed to like solitude
shady hooks, long lanes, isolated stiles. and all
that sort of thing. But do theyf Surely not
the crush hands clasp oftener- hearts
come closer together, eyes LOOK into
eyes fearlessly words flow freer. What
Is whispered in the lane is spoken in the
street. In the poetry of motion the song of
love takes on greater volume; in the jolt. and
Jostle, and push. the realities of life crowd out
the romance cultivated by Cupid, and the
cooers grow matter -of-fact, methodical, and
surely merrier. Misery, you know. loves COM
pany, and all lovers are miserable, aren't theyf
At all events there's more real companionship
IN the streets than in the lanes for the loving
we'll as the loveless. The poet and the natural
ist-the student of nature and its mysteries
will find IN the forest and the field exactly
what he wants. But the student of human
nature-he and she who must face the world
and struggle with the strugglers, tug with the
tuggers fight with the fghters-must stick to
the streets, crush with the crowds, elbow,
twist, punch, push and think. The scene there,
too, is ever shifting, the colors ever changing
the picture panoramic. You enter the crowd
with pain in your heart and perhaps emerge
from it with laugh on your lips. Had you
gone to the fields to brood over the sorrow your
tears would have fallen on the sod and your
eyes would not have seen the flowers. The
burden must indeed be heavy that is not
shifted in the rush or lost in the noisy throng.
Of course some carry loads that are tightly
lashed on tired shoulders-loads that chafe,
and crush, and choke-loads that neither time
nor tide can tighten nor wash off. But the
crowd drops for these an occasional crumb of
comfort, while the shadow cast upon their
burden by solitude makes it look larger and
rest heavier. Keep in the crowd, whether
joyous or sad. Hands are closer, hearts are
nearer, ears are sharper, tears are fewer,
laughs are louder there, you know.

MANHATTAN MlCESTONES,

Old Landmarks Sill Existing in New
@#t..s York.
How many people out of the tens OF
thousands who pass up and down daily
by those historic mementoes of the lit.
tie city of the past take notice of the
milestones by which the Manhattan
Island farmer or country gentleman
regulated his speed or computed his
time for pleasure and shopping as he
came and left town? Yet there is the
milestone of old stage-coach days on
the Bowery opposite Rivington street,
and on Third avenue, near Seventeenth
street, on the west side, opposite
Chinese laundry, stands stone bear
ing the legend in deeply craven but
time-worn letters: ':Two Miles from
City Hall, New York. On upper
Eighth avenue another stone gives not
only the number of miles from the
city hall, but also the distance from
Harlem village as measured by the old
Kingsbridge road from that hamlet
across the island. At Kingsbridge,
where the old post road crossed Spuy-
ten Duyvil creek into Westchester
county, diverging thence to Albany and
Boston, is the last of the milestones.
1T still bears the inscriptions: -Four
teen Miles from the City Hall, New
York These stones were set up when
the final isurveysof the city was made
by John Randel, engineer, 1s07-9,
whose measurements and plans of the
city's streets, avenues and public places
were so accurate that they have stood
unchallenged until this day.-N. Y.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

BY having the poultry yard in a
sandy or gravelly soil much slush is
avoided.
IT is quite an item in building poul-
try house to take considerable pains to
have it warm in winter
If fed so as to receive quick growth
and are ready for market early turkeys
are generally profitable.
FEEDING too much feed is waste of
grain, besides in many cases causing i'll
health by making the fowls too fat.
A QUARTER of an acre of ground with
building seventy-five feet long and
twelve wide is sufficient for five, hum
bred ducks.
ALL the old hens not intended for
breeding or laying next season should
be well fattened and marketed before
they begin to moult.
II is generally best to purchase what
ever breeding stock is needed in the
latter part of summer or early in fall;
lower prices, as we'll as better quality
of fowls may be secured

all that they will eat up clean.
by keeping the fowls in a good,
thrifty condition during the summer
all kinds of poultry can be fattened
very readily in the fall, or, in fact, at
any time it is desired to market.

Three feet from the end of the coop,
and on a level with the notch, put in a
heavy ''screweye." In the light end of
each pole put a good hook. In summer,
when wishing to move the coops, take
the poles, then we'll seasoned, slide
them under the notched board and
drop the hooks into the screweyes~in
the side of the coop. Then go to the
other end Of the coop, raising it up,
drawitin any direction on these runners.
Instantly remove them, to use on the
other coops in turn. The mover will
smile to see how it simpliies the bust
ness. The reader will observe that he
is looking down on the roof of the coop
shown. The increased weight neces-
sary in making coops high should com
pei practical poulterers to build them
low: Is inches at the rear and 80 inches
in front is ample. They should be
further ]ightened by being constructed
of lath or wire net when practicable.
But even if made largely of cotton
cloth, as are some of mine, they will
be found unhandy, and these runners
very welcome. - HOLSTER Sage, in
