Decimal System.

Someone who knows all about keeping
chickens says: "Ten hens in house
that is ten feet square, with yards ten
times the size of the house, is rule to
follow. Ten hens with one male is cor
rect mating, and ten eggs under setting
hen, in winter. are enough. Ten weeks
is long enough to keep a broiler before it
goes to market, and pair of ducks or
fowls should not weigh over ten pounds.
Ten cents per pound is near the average
price for fowls in market, and ten cents
should feed hen one month.

THE state of affairs at the beautiful
and sunny south, is well illustrated by
statistics from Alabama, read by min.
lister from his pulpit in this place Sunday
evening. The value of agricultural
implements in Alabama is $4,000, OF
printing presses and machinery 100000
of libraries and books $4,000, of guns,
dirks, revolvers and other murderous
weapons $4,000. This shows the
means by which the intellectual south is
educated, and kept at that high state OF
civilization which makes it so over
whelmingly Democratic.

were fined the maximum of the law, and

CLAUS SPRECKELs, the Hawaiian
sugar king, is credited with being
largely interested in the movement to
annex Hawaii to the United States. 1t
may be that Spreckels' dollars Are at the
bottom of the dethronemeDt of the
Queen and the spontaneous demand Of
the people for annexation. With an
nexation Spreckels would reap bounty
of cents per pound on all his sugar
amounting to millions of dollars year.
