poultry scrihes. 1t is needless here to re
fer to the many tricks practiced in order

the subject.
There is, however, a simple and humane
way Of breaking up a sitting hen which.
If taken at the start. will as a rule prove
successful. As soon as the hen becomes
broody, place her in a wire cage. The lat
ter should be put in the yard or shed, the
hen having full view of the rest of the
flock Do not feed the hen, but give her
water to drink.
In day or two she will become decided.

young trees from land that you have been
c continuously cropping in grain and grass
for years, and from which you continue to
take off exhausting crops after the trees
are planted. The trees must have some
thing to feed on if they must grow, and if
the land does not supply their need you
must furnish fertilizers. Another import
ant point abou; starting the trees is in
regard to the puning at the time of
planting. The roots should cut back one
halfs.and pruned in due proportion. The
branches of a tree as it comes from the
nursery are often not where they are
wanted, If opposite each other, there is
danger that the tree viii split as it grows
older. 1t is good practice to take off
the top entirely, leaving only buds on the

Personal Magnetism.

Among the most powerful of unseen
forces is personal magnetism. Two men
address an assembly on the same topic,
and in nearly the same words; one is list
ened to with indifference, if at all, the
other stirs every fiber of your being, and
cur souls thrill responsive to his Iightest
touch. 1t is not what We hear, nor is it
graceful pose or elegant diction. 1t is
nothing comprehensive or tangible, but
an invisible, mysterious force, which we
acknowledge and yield to, even against
our convictions and reason. This strange
attribute is not hereditary nor can it be
acquired. OF two brothers or sisters,
born Of the same parents, growing up IN
der the same influences and amid the same
environments, one will possess this singular
gift, another have not vestige Of it.

This Skeleton Said He Was Robbed of PART
ofHis Anatomy.

John j. Darlington is a living skeleton,
with legs resembling sticks of bamboo,
with arms like macaroni and head like
the bowl of a meerschaum pipe. Dr. Bal
ley of Randall's island hospital claims
that John is an inhuman skeleton, but
that is merely a slight difference of opin--
ion between the skeleton and the doctor.
A portion of the muscle of JJhn's right
arms is at present floating in bottle of
alcohol on one of the shelves in the doc
tors office, says the New York World. To
this muscular tissue the doctor lays claim
upon the ground that he discovered it, ex-
cavated Johns anatomy for it and that it
formed detrimental portion of the,
skeleton physical economy. On the other
hand, John Gains that the muscle belongs
to him just as much as it ever did while
doing duty in his biceps. He regards it
ar being worth in the neighborhood of
81 000 and swears that he will not allow
the doctor to retain it for less than that
amount. 1t may therefore be stated that
the human skeleton is on his muscle.
1t all came about In this way: Some
time ago John was taken suddenly ill and
was conveyed to Randall's island hospital.
His left leg had .welled until it resembed
that of John l.. Sullivan. 1t was quickly
reduced by skillful treatment to its usual
plpestem-llke proportions. Then the ply
slclans In pralseworthV spirit of scienti-
tic research carved into Johns right arm
and mulcted him of a goodIy quantity of
muscular tissue, which, after a microscop-
ical examination, they placed upon the
shelves along with other ignoble examples
of abnormal anatomy.
Jofn did not have much blood, but what
little he had boiled at the sight of his LOST
muscle. Thereupon he charged the doc
tor 81 900 for the missing tissue. He is
still charging it, and the willy physician
still has the muscle.
Or SATURDAY. morning DR.. Bailey visih d
the human skeleton in boudoir No. 10 of
the hospital.
Is it true that you are going to de-
mand 81 900 for that muscle?' asked the
doctor.
"Of course it is" replied Dorm gtou.
DO you think living skeleton muscles are
70 cheap that you can buy them for a cent
apiece? Did you ever see another muscle
like that? Say! Did you ever see anoth-
er muscle like that? That is a good first
class muscle, and you can come any of
your tricks over me. | know what mus
cles are when | see 'em, and will put
that muscle on the medical market for
lust 81 600" Here John erected his skull
and crossbones and glared denaatly at the
doctor.
"Well," replied the doctor cautiously,
II will have TO consult DR.. Patzel about
it."

skeleton. That muscle belongs to me
and | never agreed to let ysu keep it.

A NEW ATLANTIC CABLE.
The Submarine Line Between Africa and
South America.

The cable that is to be laid between Sen
egal and Pernumbuco has been shipped
from England, and is now on its way to
the African coast in the British steamship
Sllvertown. 1t was constructed bv the
Telegraphic Works company, of London,
and a number of recent inventions have
been used In its construction. There have
been many improvements in cable making
since the first Atlantic line was laid,
thirty-feur years ago, by Cyrus w. Field
and his associates. The cable to run be
tween Senegal in Africa and Pernambuco
IN Brazil was taken aboard coiled up in
three tanks and ready for paying out at
the bow end Of the vessel not at the stern,
as was formerly the custom. The cable is
Of varying thicknesses, ranging from 24
tons per knot to AZ tons, according to the
depth of the water in which it is to be
laid, while the shore ends weigh about Is
tons per knot. At Senegal the shore end
is to be covered by a hut and left in charge
of an electrical engineer, who will be in
communication day and night with the
able-bearing ship. Signals will be ex-
changed every five minutes during the
whole operation of laying the cable to
Brazil. In the deep sea the cable will be
paid out at the rapid rate of ten knots an
hour, though large allowance must be
made for stoppages through impediments
thousand fathoms deep. According to
the engineer in charge, the line will be
laid and the Silyertown back in England
before the end of the month of July.
Aboard the steamer there is large staff
of engineers and sistants, who work in
four-hour shifts and then have eight hours
off. The strain upon them while on duty
is very severe.
The cable itself, which was made on
the Thames, is an interesting piece of
work. The communicating part is in the
center, and consists of number of cop
per wires, firmly embedded in gutta-
percha, which is non-conductor Round
the gutta- percha, as protection from
rocks and sea monsters, is band of steel
wires, covered with resinous coating to
prevent corrosion. The utmost care is
taken to preserve the complete continuity
of the electrical circuit through the whole
of the 2 165 miles of the cable.
