PROFIT FROM POULTRY.

Any good hen will lay 200 eggs in q
year and bring out ten chickens If,
from the produce of these is deducted
the value of one bushel of grain, the
balance will be the profit. A young
hen Will last five years in good profit.
But to keep flock of more than fifty
hens taxes the skill of experienced
poultry men, as crowd of fowls is
very apt to become diseased, without
the most particular care. New York

Making Imitation Stones.

The manufacture of imitation stones
of various kinds is a rapidly growing
industry in this country. 1t is en-
couraged by the demand for great
variety of rock materials in the build
ing of modern cities. Architects are
always looking for new substances to
create variety and lend ornamentation
in construction. The production of
artificial stones is one of the most i'm
portant of the indirect results of the
development of geological science -

James Lysaight, of Rochester, N. Y, will
have to go to prison ten years for taking one
drink of whisky.
1t seems that Lysaight had served three
years o. thirteen years sentence In the
penitentiary, when the Governor pardoned
him on condition that he should forfeit his
freedom II he drank intoxicating liquors.
The man got along very well for six months
and then violated the condition. When the
case was tried 1t was proved that he had not
been intoxicated, and his lawyer argued that
he had Constitutional right to take a drink
and that the Governor could not take It away
from him.
The court sided with the Governor. and
ordered the defendant to be turned over 10

ten years OF his sentence. Lysaight will pay
a fancy price for his tipple and his case will
furnish one more illustration for the temper

MIsrAKEs ABOUT ALCOHOL.

There Is a common belief that alcohol gives
new strength and energy after fatigue sets
in. The sensation OF fatigue is one Of the
safety valves Of our machine to stifie the
feeling OF fatigue, in order to do more work,
is like closing the safety valve so that the
boiler may be overheated and explosion re-
suit. 1t is commonly thought that alcoholic
drinks aid digestion, but in reality the con-
trary would appear TO be the case. for 1t has
been proven that meal without alcohol IL
more quickly followed by hunger than a
aeal with alcohol. In connection with the
sanitation of armies thousands of eXper,.
ments upon largo bodies OF men have been
made. and have led to the result that, in
peace or war. in every climate in heat, cold
or rain--soldiers are better able to endure
fatigue Of the most exhausting matches when
they are not allowed any alcohol at all. That
mental exertions Of all kinds are better un-
dergone without alcohol is generally admit
ted by most people who have made the trial.
1t appears certain that from seventy to eighty
per cent. Of crime, eighty TO ninety per cent.
OF all poverty and from ten TO forty per
cent. Of the suicides in most civilized eoun-
tries arc to be ascribedto alcohol--Washing.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The McGibeny Family.

There is not, probably, another fam
lily in the United States that possesses
as much musical talent as does the Nc
Gibeny Family, which appeared at the
Academy Of Music last night.
From the rise to the fall of the cur
tain the air was melodious with sweet
music, and the audience showed their
appreciation by repeated applause.
The entertainment was opened with
an orchestral overture by Hugh, Victor,
Fred, Glenn, Jamie. Allie, Florence,
Grace and Mrs. Frank McGibney. This
was quickly followed by spccialties
from different mem bers OF tho company,
each one of whom is an artist in their
special line. Com parsons are odious
and every member of the family per-
forms his or her respective part in q
most salts factory manner, but the work
OF Miss Florence and Hugh was especi-
ally fine. Miss Florence is perfectly at
home with the pic ollo and also possesses
a sweet voice.
The violin playing of Hugh was far
above the average. The trombone solo
OF Fred was deservedly applauded. The
vocal solo of Frank was also very good.
made great hit. Master Leo caught
on in great shape and completely carried
the house. The drill song, which was
participated in by Allie, Florence,
Grace, Jamie, Carl and Leo was received
with great applause.
A rich vein OF humor prevailed the
entire performance. It is one of the
smoothost running entertainments that
has appeared at the Academy and should
the McGibney family ever return to
Roanoke they will be warmly greeted.

Wonderful Realism.

Every atom of scenery used in the
production of "She Couldn't Marry
Three" is specially built for the play.
Thore arc over three tons OF it; it is
worth going miles 10 see. One Of the
most notable scenes in the play is pic
ture Of the Cornish Coast, with tactical
revolving light house and moonlight Oh

HAwAIIAN ANNEXATION.

The Hawaiian treaty is in u fair way
to be adopted and the formal anneXa ton
OF the lava kingdom completed before
the 4th OF March. 1t seems strange
that some men Of high position in public
life should criticise tho annexation
movement from an chronological stand
point. 1t makes no material difference
whether the islands are inhabited by
Hawaiians, Chinese, Lascars, whites or
monkeys. 1t doesn't matter much
whether the islands produce sugar, or
raise Cain.
The interest which the United States
has in the leper haunted islands is
principally on.account OF their strategic
value. The Sandwich Islands are the
key of the Pacific. They are the coaling
stations Of the whole Transpacifc trade.
Their adverse possession would be
worth more than a dozen ironclads to
the nation which might wage war
with America.
1t is useless to think that the United
States will never engage in another
war. The are dozen international
questions which may produce the neces-
sary friction. Most OF them are with
Great Britain. The Monroe doctrine is
prolific in them. Canadian annexation
may stir blaze. Venezuelan protec ton
is another. The Samoan Islands might
involve conflict with Germany.
Chinese persecu tions contain several
dangers. The Panama question might
complicate matters with France
Another New Orleans affair would give
Italy an excuse. 1t therefore behoo YES
America to be on guard. The Hawaiian
Islands are the sentries of the Pacific,
and America should be the counter
sign

Peanut Candy.
Some gloomy day when young folks yawn
And wish the weary hours were gone,
Go TO your storcroom and there get
Brown sugar, heavy, almost wet;
Send some one TO peanut stand:
quart, fresh roasted, you'll demand
Set all the children Smelling these.
And make them whistle, il you please.
When these are shelled chop, not too fine;
Butter some pie pans set in line;
Then take pound of sugar turn
Into pan and melt, not burn;
But add no water. When lis done,
And like thick sirup, quickly run;
Your choppcd-up peanuts lightly salt
And turn them in. II there's no fault,
Stir just minute, pour in tins,
And cool; and then the fun begins

"What is the little one thinking abouti
Very wonderful things, no doubt"
What are the old folks thinking about,
Very wonderful things no doubt
a thought like this iillcd the baby's head
CA wonderful baby, and Very well rcad).
He sazed al grandpa, and grandma too;
And mirrorcd the pair in his eyes OF blue,
AS side by side they sat there rocking
He with his pipe and she with her stocking
And tho baby wondered, as well he might,
Why old folks always were happy and bright
And he said in his heart
With blithc little start
That showed how gladly he'd act his part:
IN find some baby soon as can,
TO stay with me till I'm grown an old man,
And. side by side, tre'N sit there, rocking
