Notwithstanding the cold, creepy chills in.

hung the works of the great Russian master.
and the nervous condition resultant from pro-
trscted study of the paintings, there are
numerous amusing incidents constantly
occurring that serve to lessen the
STRAIN and siihe the inclination to rescue
some OF the almost human figures
that gaze so imploringly from the canvas,
where they are either to be shot or hung or sub
iecteG to something else equally as terrible.

paintings is limited are constantly in attend

realization OF the horrible scene qeplcted grad

laughter which seems trifie out OF place
among such dreadful scenes.

POULTRY HINTS.

If the hen house gets filed with
lice the fowls will leave it and roost
in cribs and sheds; thorough clean
ing out will be necessary.
If you find you have more hens
than you can manage, sell them for
the next two months. Good fat
hens will sell readily at good prices.
If the fowls are healthy to begin
with, and they are well fed and car
ed for, no artificial preparations are
necessary to maintain good health.
Feed according to the very best
methods, for corn is too scarce to
waste an ear Of it. If you are not
settled upon the best method ask ad-
vice.
Early chickens are by far the most
profitable, but in many cases it is
not good plan to hatch turkeys,
geese or ducks too early in the
spring.
If the fowls are confined, a good
plan of feeding them is to give soft
feed in the morning, some kind of
green food at noon and whole grain
at night.

Whose Face Was II.

A few years ago while work
man at Pueblo, Col, was dressing
block of stone his chisel uncovered
a hard concretion on the block. Pres
emily this concretion, which was
rounded on the back, dropped from
the cavity in which it rested, disclos-
ing perfect model of human face
on its under surface, every outline
perfect, unhurt and unmarked by the
tool which had dislodged it. The
imprint on the block was as perfect
as the model on the concretion, and
many plaster casts were taken from
it by archelogicalists and local cur
iosity-seekers. Some OF these casts
found their ways to some of the
learned societies of Europe, where
they created much excitement and
were the subject Of many debates.
MANY scientists were inclined to
take it as a perfect human fossil, but
the majority insist upon it being
merely an idol of prehistoric times.
The stone in which it was found was
from eighty feet below the surface.
