Preventing Chicken Pox.
E. w. AMsDEN
Ormond, Fla.

Owing to his vigilance and the con-
stancy of his labors in TIE earlier part
of the year, the poultry raiser is apt to
take things easier now, and liable to
neglect to keep the coors of his chickens
clean. But they need just as much at
tention nov as ever-more if there is
any difference, for the amount of dropp-
ipgs increases with the siz9 of the chick
ems. 1t is in unclean cops that the
chicken pox usually appears. About the
sides OF the face and on the comb, wattles
and earlobes, may be noticed scabs. If
nothing is done for them, the disease
sometimes so spreads as to make the
head solid sore, and even to destroy
the sight and cause death Remove the
scabs and rub in dry sulphur twice a

EDITED BY e. W. AMSDEN,
Cold Storage of Poultry.

How manv poultry raisers are aware
of the benefit they derive from cold stor-
age of their products in large cities
While the business is not new, yet many
of us who are middle-aged can remember
the beginning very we'll. You may ask
how it benefits the producer of poultry
and eggs. The answer is an easy one
If the party who buys your products
should ship to New York or any other
large city and on arrival find the mark
ct glutted, but for cold storage his
commission merchant would, no
doubt, sell his products and bring him
in debt if it were not for the produce
buyer, whose business it is to watch the
market and when it reaches a point
where there is a margin it is bought,
sent to the cold storage warehouse and
kept until there is sufficient advance to
warrant its being sold.
There is but little capital required to
carry on this traffic. The buyer can al
ways get a loan of SO per cent. of his
storage certificate. He gives his note
for the loan or advance, which the ware
house man indorses, and deposits with
the storage certificate il bank. With
the money so obtained the produce man
goes upon the streets again and invests,
and repeats the operation as long as his
capital holds out.
The banks look more favorably each
year on this kind of collateral, and the
very fact that the banks will advance
the money keeps prices from going very
low. On the other hand it is an advar
tage to the consumer, for when prices
advance rapidly the products of the cold
storage warehouses come upon the
market and have tendency to keep the
price within prescribed limit.
This business of storingeg and dress
ed poultry need not be confined to the
cities, but every town that is fortunate
enough to have an ice factory could ar
range with but little expense to Store a
supply large enough to feed the town for
a long time. We should certainly i'm
prove the opportunity, if an ice factory
were located near us.
When eggs reach Is cents per dozen in
April or May, as they do in many places,
l am told. if stored until the middle of
August 10 cents per doz IN advance can
be depended on. ALI that is necessary
is to store them in regular egg cases, so
that they can be turned once week.
With the temperature at nearly freezing
point eggs will keep for six months at
least, and sell as fresh eggs.

TEA TABLE GOSSIP.

The gruesome aggregation OF cleo
trifed corpses resently rounded up
at Louisville and the dismal charac.
ter of their proceedings brings to
mind the remarks of a venerable
negro delegate at a convention OF

Ala, some years since. The old
negro, who was 4 d aeon, was
making an Grafton about the deca'
dence of the party spirit in bis

SMALLPOX in Wall Paper.

"Many years ago a person was sick OF
smallpox in a farm house in the country
town of Groton, and after the patient
recovered the dwelling was fumigated
and ~repapered. Ira Chester and family
now dwell IN the house. The paper was
removed q week or SO ago, and presently
Mr.. Chester's daughter was stricken with
smallpox. In the opinion of the ply
sician the germs of the disease were
dormant in the walls of the ROOM"
The above clipping from the Cincinnati
Enquirer makes good the claims OF SAM
t~arians, that all disease germs ind a hid
ing place in wall paper, with its vegetable
paste to hold it on the wall, and its
animal glue to hold its %colors; that
these, to say the least, are not the
best materials with which to cove
so much space around us as the walls in
which we live and sleep, and that paper
and glue are great absorbents of mois-
ture, of which every person throws OF
a certain number of ounces in exhala-
tons every day, and that such decaying
| material as glue and paste gives of de-
| letericus gases in such small quantities
that we do not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where a
number of layers of paper have been
pasted upon each other.
Sanitarians claim that these conditions
have mole to do with our ill health than
we are aware of; that such a state OF
things in the room in which We live af-
fects us more for better or worse than
does a change of climate; that it would
be cheaper, at least, to try a change OF
room or one coated with some monde
caying material, before going to the ex'
pense and trouble of a change of climate.

Facts About the Skeleton Industry.

Paris is the head-centre of the skele-
ton trade. The mode of preparation is
a very delicate operation. The scalpel
is first called into requisition to remove
the muscular tissues. Its work being
done, the bones are boiled, being care
fully watched meanwhile that they may
not be overdone. After this caunibalis-
tic procedure they are Dleached IN the
sun. Even then spots of grease are sure
to appear when they are exposed to heat.
The French treat these with ether and
benzine, securing thereby a dazzling
whiteness, which is a distinguishing
mark of their skeletons. They are war
ranted never to turn yellow and to stand
| the test of any climate. New York In
midsummer is not too hot for them.
They are put together by a master hand.
A brass rod with all the proper curva.
lures support the spinal column. Deli
cate brass wires hold the ribs in place.
Hinges of the most perfect workmanship
give to the joints a graceful aud lifelike
movement. Cleverly concealed hooks
and eyes render ~disjunction at pleasure
possible. The whole construction plainly
Indicates the care and skill Of an artist
and connolsseur.
Domestic skeletons are generally the
work OF amateurs. Janitors in medical
colleges rescue bones from the dlssecting
rooms and cure and articulate them.
They find purchasers among the Students
who on the completion of their studies
resell the skeleton, if happily the market
is not glutted. A second-han skeleton
NAV thus be had at quite a reasonable
ENTHUSIASTICALLY as low as SIS.
The imported article, however, ranges
from $50 to $500. The very high-priced
ones are valued because of the preserya-
ton Of the nervous and circulatory sys'
TENS. Of course, they are beyond the
reach of modest purses, and, as a taste
for medical and scientific research has
not vet developed among the ~millionaires,
very few $500 skeletons are sold. They
are always a special order. Avery fine
French skeleton may be had for $50,
and that is as high as the general run o.
purchasers care to 60.
Skulls, hands, aud feet may be pur
chased separately, but to obtain a rib, al
arm, or a collar bone, the whole afal
must be bought. A skull and cross

their p~reservative medium, excepting in
the case of cold storage. Customers
should, when buying packed eggs. be
told of their perishable character and
that they must be used Immediately or
returned to a preservative like the one
from which they were taken. With these
precautions the reputation of packed
eggs would improve. The thrifty
farmers wife does not find packed eggs
a failure. She puts down a bountiful
supply, then if so fortunate as to have
fresh ones in the season of scarcity she
sells them at a remunerative price, while
she makes delicious omelets, lemon pies
and angsls food from her packed eggs.
For domestic use tho lime brine seems
to give the best satisfaction. Any one
may have a jar of this mixture, in which
eggs, if fresh and whole when packed,
will keep for months in good condition
for most culinary purposes. Two ways
In which they may not be used always
with perfect success are: boiling in the

shell cracks; in the other the form il

against packed eggs is the unpleasant

botanical specimen which Humboldt
pronounced ''the most ancient vegetable
relic in the world" Humboldt made
calculations on its age in several different
ways, and declared that il was between
5000 and 5000 years old. Sir John
Herschel often alludes to it as the oldest
tree in the world. For at least twenty
centuries the Guanches used the immense

of those who live in Oldtown Island.

year Or two ago Mr.. and Mrs. Sabatis
Shea adopted a child from another tribe,
the child being half white, as are a
of the Maine Indians. "Owing to the
fact that the child is a half-breed and
belonged to another tribe says an island
correspondent, ''there is a certain class
on the island that IS trying to prevent
her from having Aer rights, while Mr..
Shea claims she is entitled to all the
