RAISING TURKEYS.

The turkey, under domesticatiOn, is
a difficult bird to raise, and requires
great care and constant attention for
the first month of it's life. If the mother
is allowed to wander out with her
brood in the wet grass in the morning
or after showers, the chicks are very
likely to take cold and die. The young
birds should be confined in a pen or
coop until they are strong enough to
bear the fatigue Of wandering about
the field. For the first day after the
chicks are Matched they should not be
fed or disturbed. If the eggs hatch
irreguIarly, then the first chicks to
come out should be removed and fed
when twenty four hours cid, and re-
turned to the nest when all the eggs
are Matched. The first food should be
stale bread, moistened with milk or
water. When a few days old corn
meal, cooked rice and similar food may
be given, but only in such quantities
as the chicks will eat up clean each
time they are fed, which should be at
least four times a day. Lice on tur-
keys and chickens are readily destroyed
by scattering -four of sulphur in the
nests where the mother broods them.
In setting a hen turkey a tablespoon OF
sulphur should always be thrown in the
nest at the time of giving the bird the
eggs, and this will prevent lice breed
ing on the old bird or infesting the
chicks. In regard to employing com
mon barnyard fowls as mothers for
turkeys authorities differ. Some claim
that the hen turkey is never so good a
mother as the hens of our ordinary

HE WAS FORGETFUL.

My husband is the most forgetful
man I ever saw" said the lady to her
visitor, land he was that way before I
married him. Indeed, if it hadn'tbeen
for that l don't think I should have
had him.
Naturally the visitor asked for the
story.

"Whiie we were engaged l asked him
to do something for me, and he forgot
it; he forgot it so many times that at
last We quarreled about it and 1 became
very angry.
"'Our engagement ends right here
I said to him, and I never want to see
you again. Go away and forget me
entirely. I want you to forget me

shall was ready to settle matters if any
thing happened to me. However, l
never let on, but went in and the old
man met me at the door, grimly directed
me into the large old fashioned parlor
and stamped off down the great hall. I
went in and a very beautiful young
woman of %, I should say, met me half
way across the room.
"'You are Gen. - she said CUES

Il bowed.
"'And may I inquire why I have
been asked here's" l said, without tax

passed me. You see I was half uneasy

"'I understand, she said, and stood
before me.

officer I had permitted to escape.

visit? I asked, for somehow I didn't

STORY OF AN UNKIssED KISS.

The Worry it Caused a Man and His
Wife--Advice of a Bachelor Friend.
They had been married many years,
yet never had he got away from the
breakfast table in the morning without
a good, bye kiss, until a friend came to
visit them, one Of those cynical time
soured bachelors who find fault with
everybody and everything, and decide
for themselves that the whole scheme
Of creation is wrong,
The friend did not say anything at
the time, although the kiss Jared on
his sense of the properties, but he
waited until he had his host by the ear,
so to speak, then he said:
You seem to keep the honeymoon
pretty we'll, George. Must.:be a deuced
bore, too, when the romance is over"
Then good, weak George began to
| get wabbly in his mind, and had a silly
fear that his friend was making fun of
him.
Yes" he said, as he lighted a cigar,
sit is rather a bore, don't you know,
but the little woman expects it,"
4 dare say" resumed the friend,
but I wouldn't coddle her any more
if I were you. It's too-too domestic,
you see, for this age. Makes a man
seem spoony and weak"
Yes, I thought SO myself. Guess
I'll turn over q new leaf with the little
woman"
The little woman who had more
sense in her least finger than George
had in his whole body, was greatly
| surprised when her husband threw his
breakfast napkin on his plate, rose in
haste, and with cackled TIA ia, dear"
ran off without the customary salute.
But she didn't say anything and bided
her time. 1t came sooner than was ex-
pected.
George went home at night without
| the friend, who had returned whence
he came. At dinner George was silent
and morose, and the little woman
asked:
"Anything gone wrong to day."
Yes. Everything. Lost $50 out Of
my vest pocket"
"Too bad, but it might have oeen
worse"
'"Then I mislaid some valuable papers
that I carried in the Inside pocket of
my coa5-i5's Just been n Of my
worrying days, don't you know9"
George" said the little woman, IN
a calm, sweet voice, don't you think
it all happened because you went away
without a goodbye kiss? I've had a
worrying day, too, and I laid it all to
that"
BY Jove, little woman, I believe
you're right. Queer, but 1 really be-
Iieve there's something in It,"
"Andhere is the money you dropped
it on the hall floor in your hurry. And
the papers are probably in your other
coat-you know you changed this
morning"
"That settles it, little woman, and
George gave her the kiss he had omitted
in the morning, with interest, and If
the friend could have seen it he would
have gnashed his teeth-but he didn't.

SUBSTITUTION.

Just at this moment the door leading
into the side aisle was violently pushed
open, and the best man entered. He
looked slightly disturbed and held a
yellow paper crushed in his hand.
"Ihave news for you, Miss Manners"
he said, drawing her away from the
bridal party and speaking in a low
voice, very provoking news, I've
just had a telegram. Philips train has
been delayed by a wash out, and he
can't possibly be here to-day"
Miss Eleanor depressed the corners
Of her lips,
Good graciousH' she murmured,
''how CHASTITY! And how very incon-
siderate of Philip!'
"What shall we dog The church is
packed. The bishop is mere, and four
clergymen."
It's dreadfuliy annoying" observed
the bride, nervously lingering Aunt
Louise's old Flemish point, land while
we're all at skies and sevens here I sup
pose Philip is sitting on the wash out
reading Prometheus Unbound"
What shall I say? I can go back
and tell the bishop that the wedding is
postponed-that the bridegroom has
met with a wash out"
THAT will be horrible! Fancy send
ing all those clergymen away without
giving them q thing to eat! And all
the flowers will be faded by tomorrow.
What SHALL do?"
Nothing but postpone it. We can't
have a wedding without a bridegroom;
that's an established fact"
And my trunks are packed, and the
presents so beautifully arranged; and
then to disappoint all these peopIe!"
"Well of course, if you've no objec-
ton, here Fam. IF you'd rather marry
me than disappoint the bishop and the
people, I am mor than happy to be
able to oblige you"
"Oh, Mr.. Trevor, you are always so
kind" An expression of relief relaxed
the brides features. But I hardly
like to accept such a favor"
The best man smiled deprecatiTE!y:
Pray don't mention it. To be able
to oblige you is a privilege, to be # ser
vice to you a pleasure. And really it
does seem a pity not to have a wedding
when everything has been 50 nicely ar
ranged"
"Are you sure that you are quite
willing, that you are not sacrificing
yourself to save the occasion2" queried
the bride, smoothing the rumpled tele-
gram in her white-gloved hand.
Not in the least. Have I not al
ways been your slava& OF courseI an
entirely at your commands, but my
advice is that you had better marry
me. These people have been invited
here to e a wedding. True consider
ton for your guests should prompt you
to have a wedding, even though il
isn't the one they came to see."-Ger

HE WANTED TO BE soc1ABLE.
But His Laudable Efforts in This Direc-
ton Were Cruelty Repulsed by
His Neighbors.

ton Were Cruelty RePulsed by
His Neighbors.
A man with a mole about the size of
pea on his face entered a South ferry
train at Fifty-ninth street. He wore
a strawberry necktie and a SLOUGH hat
which he had pulled down over his
head so far that the lower brim rested
on the back of his neck. Being a small
man, with a big hat and an inquisitive
pair Of eyes, he received considerable
attention from the people in his end of
the car A fat gentleman with a waist
coat Of expansive proportions and a
rather crusty mien sat at his right and
a tall, gaunt Irishman at his left. The
little man wanted to talk to somebody,
so he turned to the fat man suddenly
and said:
Did you ever have cOrns?"
The fat man paid no more attention
to the question than he did to the fly
perched on the bridge of his nose. Not
at all embarrassed by the imperturba-
bility of his neighbor, the little man
piped his voice to q higher key and
exclaimed:
Did you ever have corns on your
feet?"
Are you addressing your remarks
to me?" inquired the fat man, with a
digniied frown.
Eyes, I am, Unanswered the inquisitive
man. Il am a stranger in this town,
and I want to get acquainted with
some Il mighty bad. Being as you
are a large and healthy looking man I
thought you might have a few corns
on your feet-most heavy people do,
you KNOWN which case l might be
able to give you a valuable recipe that
I have tried with great success in a
number Of instances. The fact Isl
81 haven't got any corns," said the
fat man breaking in on his speech.
Il don't know you, and I don't want
to know you, so shut up"
A large pail Of cold water poured
down the back of the inquisitive mans
neck would not have produced, for the
moment at least, a greater shock than
did this vigorous retort.
You needn't get huffy, anyway"
he at length remarked, and then be-
came so quiet that the voice of the
guard calling out Forty second street
was distinctly audible all through the
car.
After a while the little man became
idgety again. He looked up and down
the car at the solemn faces of the pas
sengers and then turned to his Irish
neighbor on the left, in whose face he
thought he saw q CLEAN of friendliness.
This gave him courage. Clearing his
throat, he said:
Il see by the big cut on your cheek
that you have had trouble in your life.
Would you mind telling me about it,"
Instantly the Irishman's face as
sumed a dangerous expression. His
huge jaws came together with a snap.
Then he turned on the little man, and
in a ice that could be heard for two
blocks he said:
Its none of your id BUSINESS
whether I've had trouble or not. If
you give me any more Of your lip I'll
break your face open right here. I'm
| derstand?"
The little mans eyes assumed the
size of aaucers as he replied;
I'LL do"
AS he got off the a at Barclay street
he was heard to mutter to himself:

MODERN C~OURTSHIP.

They were sitting close together
In A pleasant shady nook;
They looked at one another
With a loving, longing look
Then Edwin broke the silence,
And with emotion shook,
As he softly, softly whispered,
Angelina, can you cook"
His anxious face grew tranquil,
Angelina whispered, Yes"
His thoughts (Of we'll cooked dinners)
No angusge could express.
His hand sought Angelina's
In a lingering CareSS;
Then he said, "Oh, Angelina,
Did o make or buy that dress!'
Edwin's heart grew-oh, so joyful!
For she always made her frOCks,
And lightly strayed his fingers
over Angelina's locks
While they gazed upon the roses,
The pinks and hOllyhOcks
Then again he courage
Gould yOu-knit a pair of sOcks?"
Poor cupid near them lowered
And he listened In dismay
Siyhed he, I'm out of fashion,
I'm only in the way;

Self holds universal sway.'
