Too Faithful IA Portrait,

Photographers have many difficulties to
contend with in the pursuit of their call
ing, and one of these is trying to please all
of their patrons. One of the most promi-
nent and conscientious artists in Brooklyn
told me the other day that he had about
concluded not to try and give satisfaction
to his patrons.
Why" he added, ''the more I endeavor
to please them the farther come from do
ing so. 1t was only the other day a man
came in here as mad as a hornet. He
brought picture with him. 1t was one
of his mother-in-law, l believe, or perhaps
more distant relative.
Look at THAR he snarled as he re-
moved the wrappings. What do you think
of that?'
Why l said, 4 thought it was most
faithful portrait of the LADY,
Yes he almost howled, that's where
the trouble comes in; that's the reason
she's made my house as hot as furnace
and my life daily torment Yes, that's
the trouble. Don't you see the portrait is
too BANKED faithful! See if you can't do
something with it and tone it down or
touch it up-anything to re-establish peace
in the famil,'
Now what do you think of that?" said
the photographer, as he heaved a sigh

Hyphennted postoface Names.

some OF the residents on the shores of
the Hudson seem to be especially FESTIVE
under the humiliation of being compelled
20 live in places bearing such common
place and mere American names as Irving
ton, 1onkers, Tarrytown, Poughkeepsie,
Newourg, etc, and insist on heading their
note and letter paper with their hyphen-
lied Ideas of what their postoffice addresses
ought to be-as "Tarrytown-on-the-H ud-
son." and similar deviations from the
actual names of their postoffices.
There was doubtless good reason in Eng
land for such names bestowed in pre-post-
Office tines 20 Weston-under- Lizard, Mid
dleton-on-theW aids, Stoke-by -Nayland and
IKE compounds, needful to distinguish
them from numerous other Westons, Md
oletons and Stokeses, but in this county,
where there are no two postoffices of the
same name name in any state. such link
ing ON OF useless addenda is simply one of
those freaks of fatuous folly"
The practice is a vexation to postoffice
clerks, and often leads to the missending OF
letters; and this fact is doubtless the rea-
son for the admonition which appears in
The New York Postoffice Guide" under
the head of Suggestions to the Public:''
fanciful additions should not be made
to the names of postoffices, as they are apt
TO mislead and confuse asserting clerks,
and so cause errors. For example, 'Patta-
gumpus, Me- should not be extended to
Pattagumpus-on the Penobscot." - New
York Tribune.

Making 1t Rather Personal.

This is credited as one of General Lew
Wallace's Turkish jokes: There lived in
Stamboul, Turkey, well-to-do Turk
named lsmad Ismail Hassam He was en-
dowed with oriental wit that stood him
well IN hand when he was in tight place
neighbor called on Isinail one day and
wanted to borrow his donkey to use an
hour. ISmail made a low salaam and said
"Nelghbor, am sorry, but my boy start
ed on the donkey an hour ago to Scutari.
BY now he is gayly trotting over the hills
far from the sacred precincts of STEAMBOAT. y
Just as Ismail finished his speech dom
keys loud bray was heard in the stable
which was under the same roof as Ismail's
house, but in the rear. The neighbor said:
'Ah, | hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbours ears
were deceived and that the noise was not a
donkey's bray. Then the donkey, which
was supposed to be jogging along toward
Scutari, brayed twice loudly 1t was too
much, and the neighbor cried:
''Oh, that is your donkey, Ismail; Allah
help me. l can now borrow him.
Then lsmail said;
(which do you believe is lying, the don
key or me:'
The neighbor had to give Ismail the ben
eft of the doubt, and went away-Wash-

AMONG THE POULTRY.
Prevention and Treatment of Gapes an
Other Diseases,

Prevention and Treatment of Gapes and
Other Diseases.
A correspondent writing in the New
York World has the following to say:
As a means of prevention from the gapes
IN young chickens it is admitted thar
they should be kept from wet and dirty
places. If they be troubled with this
dlstemper it nearly always comes from
worms in the crop and throat, as chick
ems, like the young of most other ami
mails, are more subject to worms than
those OF mature age. Onions chopped
nne is prevention, and garlic, either
raw or cooked in milk, is a sure cure.
The milk may be given with a spoon:
also horseradlsh water or pellets made of
the scraped or grated article made
small and crammed down their throats
II they will not pick and eat it. l don't
peheve In fishing the worms up with
feather or crooked hair, as sometimes
advised; this only gives relief, but is not
a cure.
AS to insects, the dust bath is excel
lent, both for old and young poultry.
Whltewashing the walls inside is much
recommended, but if in shaking the lime
for this purpose a small quantity of coal
tar be thrown on the lime, say one ounce
of the former to one pound of the latter,
by stirring, it will mix through the
whltewash and make a much more eff
tectual wash as a preventive to their in
trudlnS. The roosting bars should also
be washed with this mixture
Here Is another point which viii be
found of use to chicken raisers: Throw
! about one pint of coal tar into pile of
fine sand; let it lay till the sand absorbs
all 1t will, then roll out the lump and it
Will fall to pieces at once. 1t is a great
insechcide. Scatter some through the
hens nests when putting them to sit. i
will warrant they will not run away be-
fore the brood is Matched out, as l have
known many to do before the discovery
of this plan. If it be only scattered on
the bottom under the nest it will be eff
fectual. When young chickens become
lousy, lard is recommended TO be rubbed
on; the lard, however, becomes far more
valuable If to one teaspoonfuT of lard
you add about four or five drops of creo-
sote. Mix well, tip the joints of the
wings, the breast bone and very little
under the feathers, in one or two places
| on the vertebre, or backbone, with very
little round the head and neck. This
Will completely Danish them.

Australia is now shipping eggs to the
British markets.
According to report, crops IN the Gulf
states will be late and short.
The wheat crop of South Australia
and New Zealand is reported to be 2,0OO,-
600 bushels short and of poor quality.
The last congress appropriated $1,000
for the construction of fish hatchery in
Vermont.
The exports of clover seed from New
York from Jan. to March were 81
500 bags, against 1904 bags for the
corresponding time in 1890.
Grain farming, as such, according to
the New Jerseys state board of agricult-
ure's report for 1890, must be abandoned,
the state being destined to become ag-
riculturally market garden.
A recently formed corporation, under
the name of the Galveston Rance COM
pany, has in view the culture of rance,
okra and other fibrous plants, on land
living between Houston and Galveston.
Bradstreet's makes the statement that
tout of 21O, 000, 900 pounds of cotton seed
oil produced in 1888, 10000, 900 pounds
were used in the mixing with lard, and
that the competition with this bogus pro
duct has reduced the price of pure lard
from ten down to six cents pound"

Smut in Corn.

a bulletin on corn smut from the
Nebraska agricultural experiment sta
ton says: I'm a general way use as many
pounds of blue vitriol as gallons of
water The immersion should not last
longer than fifteen or twenty minutes. -
Many consider a much shorter period in
a strong solution sufficient. 1t should
be remembered, however, that clean
seed does not insure the crop against in
lection from other sources. Questioning
the seed will not prevent injury from the
germs left over in the field from smutty
fodder or in the manure of animals fed
with it. 1t simply kills the germs that
may be on the seed that would other
wise develop along with it in the ground
and thus enter the growing plant. The
black powder consists of spores which
reproduce smut, much as seeds reproduce
ordinary plants. Hence the necessity of
destroying all smutted stalks and ears
and keeping the ground from becoming
filed with spores.

O. THE MISERY OF 1T.

Human wretchedness touches bottom in sea
sickness. Life is held feathers weight by the
unfortunate afflicted with it. Why endure its
atrocious internal commissions when Hostetter's
stomach BItters relieves them instanter? Not
only relieves, but prevents. 1t Is not always on
the "briny'' that travellers is experienced.
