fecting arrangements for the parade, the
ball, the decoration, the illumination, the
fireworks, the cOncerts-the quadrennial
gala day which brings TO this city from
200, 900 to 4OO, 900 strangers.
In all probability the second inaugura-
tion of Grover Cleveland will be the great
est affair of the sort ever seen here, and
that means of course the biggest thing of
the kind ever seen anywhere, for no other
country than ours and no other city than
this can boast among its attractions quad
rennial coronation attended by an outpour-
ing of the masses and an outcropping of
intense partisan joy.
For Growers second inauguration the
capital will be decked out as it was never
decked out before. The decorations are 10
be superb. One brilliant, picturesque sug-
gestion will not be carried out, however.
This was proposition made by New York
man to string a strong cable from the top
of the Washington monument to the feet
of the Goddess of Liberty surmounting the
dome of the capitol, and from this hang in
letters 100 feet long, the words Cleveland
and Stevenson" He proposed to have these
letters illuminated at night by electricity,
the current for this purpose being carried
OVER IHe CdDlt IuuS. stlu he III MS ltU-
ter to the inaugural committee. "we should
have the names of our heroes in words
nearly a mile long, literally in letters of
fire" The inaugural committee did not
accept his proposition. ef<
But the hundreds of thousands Of peo-
pie who come to see Grover take his seat
will witness an illumination of the United
States capitol more beautiful than any
thing that was ever attempted before
Only those who have seen this grand build
ing in the rays of powerful searchlights
know what an imposing and inspiring
spectacle it presents. Two weeks from
next Saturday night it will be illuminated
by nine electric" suns placed on stands
erected in front of the building Each of
these suns will be 80 feet in diameter. and
the light emanating from them will be of
Incompatible brilliancy. Though called
electric" suns by the fireworks men, they
are really of chemical composition, each
sun containing so pounds of material. In
the vicinity of these suns it will be neces-
sary to protect the grass of the capitol
grounds and the marble of the million dol
lar terrace by the use of stone plates, else
the particles of burning chemicals may do
much damage

SOLDIERS TO SLEEP IN THE DEPARTMENTS
a carriage drawn by four black horses with
white harness. Vice President Stevenson
will follow in a carriage drawn by four
white horses with black harness This will
make quite a circus of itself, and oD the
box of the presidential carriage will sit a
very proud colored man, none other than
old Albert Hawkins, who was coachman to
Grant and ali his successors, till President
Harrison nearly broke his heart by dismiss
ing him.
Already the avenue is being made ready
for this great show. In front Of the White
House a gorgeous stand is being erected for
the use of the new president in reviewing
the procession. On the opposite side Of the
street stand that will hold about 5000
people is being put up. Seats in this stand
will cost from 81 to s. each. At other
places along the avenue stands are being
erected, and the total capacity of these
structures will be about 10000 persons
The inaugural committee sells the stand
privileges for "A large sum of money, and
the purchasers charge prices to suit them
selves The average cost Of good seats is
about 81, for competition tends to keep
prices down.
Washington is making great preparations
to take care of the crowds Every stranger
will find accommodations at reasonable
rates. Every organization and person that
has applied for quarters has been taken
care of by the committee on public com
fort. Visitors need have no fear of failing
to find places to sleep and eat, nor Of being
robbed Washington is one of the most
hospitable cities in the country, and being
in the inaugural business every fourth
year cannot afford to offend visitors. The
troops from Pennsylvania and other states
are to find accommodations in the corri-
dors of the great departments, where they
will be very comfortable.
The inaugural ball will be a great affair.
Chairman Hay, the floor manager, is al
ready drilling his 600 assistant managers,
teaching then how TO wear their dress suits
and form cotillons with true Delsartean
grace. Mr.. Hay says this will be the great
est ball ever held The ball will accommo-
date $1,000 persons, but the number of tick
cts sold will be limited to 1900 at s. per
ticket At the first Cleveland ball there
were between II, 900 and L, 600 persons pres
ent and about 1000 at the Harrison ball
Then the crowd was so great that dancing
was INDUCED in to but a limited extent
The president and vice president, accom-
panied by the presidential party, will arrive
about 10 o'clock and be received in a man
ner in keeping with the occasion. The re-
ceipts from the inaugural ball will be
greatly depended upon TO defray the ex-
penses of the inaugural ceremonies as far as
the citizens are concerned, as upon the occa
sion of President Harrisop's INAUGURATION.

4 Test for Laying Hens.
Florida Agriculturl.tl

Florida Agricultufist
 Perhaps 1t is safe in stating that a large majority of those who keep poultry are of the opinion that the hens under the best conditions for laying, male must be in the yard with them. If eggs are desired with the object of matching chicks it is necessary to have a male with the hens, hut Hs hens will lay as many eggs when no males are present as when with them. the feeding of a lot of useless males may be discarded. Recent experiments by W. r. Wheeler at the New York experimental sta tion, Geneva, in which he selected four yards of bullets, in order Go test the value of the males, demonstrated that males are entirely unnecessary. In fact, the bullets in yards contain ing no males not only laid more eggs than did the bullets that were with males, but also produced eggs at less cost
 The demonstration of this fact by an actual test win effect revolution in the keeping of laying hens. It means a saving of food less disposi- tion to quarrel, better keeping qual- ities of the eggs. and a cbeapening of the cost Of he eggs, as well as a say ing of the space occupied by the males which should be given to hens or pull lets. Those who desire to hatch chicks can select dozen of the best females and confinc them in a yard with pure-brcd male. As one male can sire q thousand chicks in one year it is plain that but few males are nec- essary. The usual practice is to al- low one male with ten hens. which compels the feeding of 100 males if as many as thousand hens are re- tained.
 The greatest advantage derived, in addition to the increase of eggs and the saving of food, labor and space. is that eggs from hens not with males will keep three or four times as long as will eggs from hens that are with males. If the eggs are to be pre- served. 1t is detrimental to keep males in the flocks. When it is considered that large number of males become expensive, and that the hens will pro- duce more eggs when the males are not present, and also that the prob lem of preserving eggs is solved by keeping nomales the farmer should hereafter make it q rule 10 do away with males entirely, unless chicks are to be matched. With the non-setting breeds, where eggs only are desired, and not chicks, tue male is q useless member of the flock.
