MOOSE BIRD OF THE NORTH.
Sociable Fellow Who Is Always on the
Lookout for u Meal

The moose bird of the northern
woodlands is nomad. He claims no
particular locality, save the great ev-
ergreen forests, as his home. The i'm.
pulse OF migration is evidently an un-
known experience to him. You camp
down for the night and he quietly
greets you; spending the night near by,
that he may lose no time in cleaning
over the remains of your breakfast.
He is Immediately interested in your
preparations for your departure, and
II he can spare the time from his search
for breakfast, will come down to the
canoe to see you off, as we'll as to get
an idea OF the way you are heading,
and, when you are greeted at your
next camping place in similar man
ner, you are at loss as to whether Il
Is the social individual of the previous
night OF counterpart.
The woods of Maine, dear to me by
pleasant associations would lose half
their charm to me without the bird,
says a writer in Nature. He is in
keeping with the somber shadow of the
spruce and hemlock. Persistent in
MS presence as the giant tree that
rears its lofty form above your ''shake
down, yet as unobtrusive as it's shad-
ow, SO closely does he harmonic with
the spirit OF the silent wilderness.

The Printing Industry,

An exchange says: 1.-The printing
industry is not only important in itself,
but also because of its immense gener-
al influence. The department in which
this influence is greatest is that of
newspapers, the number of which pub
lished in all countries is estimated at
4l,OOO. OF these 24,OOO appear in
Europe. Germany heads the list with
$500. then comes France with 4,1OO.
Britain with 1000, Austria-Huneary
with $500, Italy with 1,4OO, Spain
with $50, Russia with 800, Switzer-
land with $50, Belgium and Holland
with 800 each, and the remainder in
the smaller countries. The United
States have $500 newspapers, Canada
has 700 and Australia also 700. Out
OF the 800 journals published in Asia
Japan alone has 200. If this is any
measure of progress the latter country
has progressed immensely, for TWENTY
years ago it had no newspapers.

Another Wise Dog.

The St. Adams (Vt.) Messenger
tells q good dog story. The owner Of
a dog in that town has brother who
is quite sick, living in the suburbs.
During a recent dark and stormy night
he decided to send his dog to the
brothers residence to learn his con-
dition. A note Of inquiry was written
and given to the dog. his master open
ing the front door and pointing in the
direction which the dog should take.
The messenger" trotted merrily away
and in about one hour and q hall
returned and made his presence known
by barking at the front door. The
dog brought an answer in the shape Of
a letter from the wife OF the sick
brother replying to the inquiry made,
much to the qualification Of the house
hold receiving the news.

Labor Saving Eagerly Pursued.

A perceptible rise in the rate OF
wages ruling in the United States and
England, and even Germany and
France. has taken place within the
last twenty-five years, while at the
same time a decline in the price OF
commodities and provisions has gone
hand in hand with this rise in wages.
In America, the rate of wages of labor
per diem being high one. it follows
that it is the first object of the en-
ployer to economic its employment.
The result is that in no country is the
organization of labor in mills and in
factories 50 complete az in the United
States. In no country is the applica-
ton of machinery carried to the extent
to which it is carried in the United
States. Here invention and improve
ment are always most readily well
coined in the labor processes involved
Manufacturers introducing change in
manufactures have machine built to
accomplish what in other countries
would be left to hand labor to bring
about. Machinery. used to the limit
OF its life in Europe. is cast aside in
America if only partially worn, OF
quite satisfactory in other respects, il
an improvement has come out that car
do the work quicker and consequently
cheaper. The improvement introduced
by one manufacturer in any line il
quickly adopted by his competitors
Labor-saving is the result, and cheap
ening of production ensues, which i:
the due outcome of the high cost o
day labor in the United States.

the libraries, and all that rests and
uplifts and refines. | would make it a
day Of family rest, day on which to

Sunday paper is included in the light
of what have said. If a man wants
to avoid completely with labor he

Among the relics OF Washington

ligious nature of the great man and
cannot but be OF the greatest interest
to all church people. l quote the
prayer for Sunday morning:
Almighty God, and most merclful

dren of Israel to offer daily sacrifice
to Thee, that thereby they might

lection both night and day, receive u,

humble and hearty thanks that Thou
hast preserved me from the dangers OF
the night passed, and brought me the
light of this day. and the comforts
thereof, day which is consecrated to
Thine own service and for Thine hon
or. Let NY heart, therefore, gracious
God, be SO affected with the glory and
majesty of it, that l may not do mine
own works, but wait on Thee. and
discharge those weighty duties Thou
requirest of me; and since Thou art q
God of pure eyes. and wilt be sanctified
in all who draw near unto Thee, who
dost not regard the sacrifice of fools,
nor hear sinners who tread in Thy
courts, pardon, l beseech Thee, my
sins, remove them from Thy presence,
as far as the east is from the west, ano

Poultry Notes.

Laying hens need frequent changes
of food; one of the best foods for oc-
casional change is sprouted grains.
To produce them soak the grain over
night in warm water pour off the
water in the morning and keep them
we'll dampened until they sprout.
Laying hens must have exercise.
Scatter leaves. cut straw, or dry dirt
over part of the floor and scatter all
grains fed them in it SO as to compel
them to work. The good scratcher is
also q good layer.
II you find a dead hen under the
roost the cause is apoplexy from over
feeding. II your hens have the blind
staggers they are too fat.
When your fowls have swelled heads
or eyes, or hoarse breathing. If you
examine closely you will find crack
or crevice in your house or draught
from your top ventilator strikes them.
That top ventilator has caused thopp
sands Of deaths.
A fat hen Is a poor layer and il she
lays any eggs at all they will either
fail to hatch or produce defOrmed and
weak chicks. Soft shelled eggs,
double yolk eggs and other irregulari-
ties. are sure indication that your
hens are too fat.
Did you ever try boiling the water
for your fowlse Sometimes water that
has not been boiled seems to cause
diarrhea in chickens in the winter sea
son. The water should be given frest
and in clean vessels daily.

To Cut Glass with Scissors.

One can cut glass with q scissors a.
easily as though it were an autumn
leaf. The entire secret consists In
p!unging the pane Of glass into tub
OF water, submerging also the hands
and the scissors The scissors will
cut In straight lines without q flaw.
ms result is achieved in consequences
OF the absence Of vibration. II the
least portion Of the scissors is left out
OF the water, the vibration will pre-
vent the glass cutting. Post Dispatch.

Hints to HOusekeepers.
Never turn an omelette, as it makes

hluCS W 11OuSokccPo
Never turn an omelette, as it makes
it heavy.
Soup should not boil very hard. that
has tendency to tougher the meat.
If sassafras bark is sprinkled among
dried fruit, it will keep out the worms.
TO have the crust of potpie brown,
set the pot on a few Goals before the
fire. and turn it frequently.
If doughnuts are cut out an hour
before they are fried, to allow little
time for rising, they will be much
lighter. Try cutting at night and fry
ing in the morning.
Gravy will generally be lumpy If the
thickening is poured in while the pan
is over the fire. Set the pan of until
the thickening is well stirred in, then
set it on the fire and cook thoroughly.
Late in the season, when turnips,
parsnips, carrots, etc., begin to lose
their sweetness, they may be greatly
improved by adding tea-spoonful or
two OF sugar to the water they are
boiled in.
Solution for cleaning silver and
brass: TO one quart of rain water add
two ounces of ammonia and three
ounces OF precipitated chalk. Bottle
and keep well-corked, and shake before
using. Wash silver in hot soapy wa
ter and rinse in clean. hot water
A receipt for washing flannels, re-
commended by an old English house
keeper, is said to be thoroughly salts
factory to those who have tried its
effects. To gallon OF hot water take
one teaspoonful Of the triple or strong

make a strong suds. Dip the flannels
in the suds without rubbing them with
soap, and then rinse them in clear. hot
water. Washed in this way, they will
be white and firm, not inclined to

OF washing.
The best way to take ink out OF table
