Three weeks is the time the chicken,

Three weeks is the time the chickens
spend in the brooder. At the end OF
this stage they arc old enough to eat
oats, corn, groundup oyster shells, aud
other articles of ordinary chicken diet.
They are safe now, and there is little
danger Of their dying. Nothing remains
except to fatten them up to be broilers.
II there is back yard the chickens can
be turned loose from the brOoder into
the yard to scratch around there. 1t is
G good thing for them to scratch around,
as chickens need exercise, and their
flesh has a different flavor il they get it.
Where there is no back yard of available
place for the chickens 10 scratch, provi.
sion is made for them by hanging up
cabbage about two feet from the ground
in their coop. The chickens like the
taste Of the cabbage, aud they chop up
at it from the ground. Starting with
the height of about a foot the cabbage
and its successors are gradually raised
until it requires an agile chicken to
reach it. Dlily exercise a! jumping for
the cabbage develops the chickens legi
and second joints, besides hardening It's
breasts and strengthening its wings.
The whole thing can be done in
garret where there is light ard air. Un-
til the chickens are turnel out Of the
brooder they do not need much sun
light, but after that sunlight aud eKer-
else are good for then. The light can
come in by putting glass in the roof in
stead Of DARK skylight, and the food
can De thrown on the floor, on which
sand and gravel have been put in
layer several inches deep. The food
from day to day should be thrown over
the gravel and sand where contact would
not iujure the food, in order that the
chickens may have to WORK for their
meals.
In three or four months one OF thesa
artifcially raised chickens will be ready
to be broiled. Young chickens make
the best OF broilers. Before killing them
they can be ted up for week aud per-
mitted to get their food without having
to work for it If plump chicken il
wanted, while if firm chicken is pre-
ferred the amount Of exercise eau be in-
creased at the same time.
After passing the broiler stage a
chicken becomes roasier. It is then in
condition to be roasted and weighs
about twice AS much AZ when it was
gay young broiler. Tho roasting period
begins when the chicken is a6ou; eight
months old aud extends As long as the
chicken is kept ten Ter, for possibly ak
or seven months. s.-New YORK Sun.

Paper. Pens ana Ink.

Paper was IN use in Egypt as far back
az 23OO B. c., aud not merely, w old
Pliny thought, from the time OF AleHan'
der the Great. The sncients, it appears,
knew more about pens aud inks than
they usually have credit for. Ths
Greeks made silver aud other metallic
pens. aud Latin manuscripts show a
great variety Of iuks-red, purple, green,
blue. silver aud gold. The great Flo
refe Bible in the British Museum
shows the skill Of the penman IN the
Twelfth CeDtury in the use OF this
mode Of decoration; and in somewhat
later times it was no unusual thing for
scribcs to annotste their texts in colored
inks-red, green, violet, blue-using
each color for a distinct class OF notes,
historical, biographical, geographical,
etc. Scientific works are often made
exceedingly attractive BY cOlored dia'
grams, chronologies by ARCHITECTURAL
arcades aud ornamental Danels ----

Splrltlsm Am5ng SaVagss.

The New Zealsnder is certain that the
soul leaves the body while he sleeps, anC
that his dreams represent actual scenes
lived through while away from the body
Tne Greenlander believes that the soul
at night leaves the body aud huats,
dances and makes calls. An Indian OF
Guiana gave one Of bis slaves a solid
thrashing in the morning because he
dreamed the slave had offended him Ia
his sleep. Many Savayes are afraid OF
calling anyone who sleeps, because they
fear a sudden awakening might not give
the soul sufficient time to return to the
body. Even the japanese believe that.
Not suly does the savage believe his soul
leaves the body whilc he sleeps, but that
Il receives visits from other souls, SINH
larly away from their bodies, not only
in sleep, but permanently separated By
death. This belief is only an enlarge
meus Of the first, aud very rational one,
too. It is modern spiritism exactly.
The modern spiritists are people upon
the same mental standpoint as the saw
ages. They are unable to discriminate
between subje ,tive impressions and OBJ
iective realities. To the uusubstautisl
imagination OF their sleeping and waking
dreams, they give the form Of reality.
They are not conscious Of the deceit, but
unable, from lack Of mental criticism, to
see the delusion. Spiritism is the saw
ages theory Of soul in a new dress

expected that he would want to bor-

row the price Of his fare TO Philadelphia,
and was ready with an answer in case he
should do so. But he had done nothing
of the sort, aud, as for the wharf
charges, was somehow in a position in
which the light did not SHINE favorably
on me. Here was a valuable present for
we frcm some friend or friends on the
other side OF the world; the Glamorgan
had brought it through the perils OF
long ocean voyage and made NJ sharge
for the service; the Custom House had
admitted the box free OF duty, thus
treating me with marked distinction;
the stearIer's officer had sought me out
to make sure of my identity; and here
was ready to put the Glamorgan's con-
signees to trouble rather than part with
paltry two dollars and sixteen centsl
But still my suspicion would not go
down and l delayed parting with the
sum OF money In question. SO said to
my visitor, whose hand was actually
touching the knob of the door;
"Will you kindly show me some doc
umeuts to prove your IDENTIFY"
"Have YOU any doubt about it'll" M
asked, with a smile.
"Oh, we won't enter into discussion
on that point" l answered; "but have
long adopted a rule not to accept the
statement OF any man as to his identity,
when the payment Of money to him
hinges upon it, unless have some cor
roborative evidence"
"That's quite right" was the reply, al
the hand of the stranger moved toward
the breast pocket Of his coat. "Yor
can't expect man to carry his commits
sion with him all the time, but perhapi
these will do"
He handed to me two letters ad
dressed to himself in his own official
character, and a document that appeared
to be the manifest of the steamship
Glamorgan. One letter had pot passed
through the mails and was directed {;
"On Beard" the other bore the post
marks of Liverpool and New York, hav
ing been sent by mail from the former to
the latter place and marked; "To be
called for"
Ny suspicious were gone now, and l
returned the papers and proceeded to
pay the two dollars and sixteen cents
necessary for wharf charges. Mr.. Crosby
volunteered to give me a receipt for the
money aud l still hold it. 1t is written
in a clear, clerkly hand and is all that
have to show for my outlay Of the
amount named together with one cigar,
half an hour of time, and the same per-
Rod Of mental perturbation. There is 3
steamship GIamorgan, but she was not
in any American port at the time Of the
occurrence that l have narrated, and my
visitor was not her first officer. Since
the door closed upon his nautical form
he has not communicated with me, and J
