Poultry Points.

As a green food for chickens and
ducks in summer or winter, some
poultry keepers claim there is nothing
much better than fiat turnips chopped
and sliced, these being at least nearly
equal to clover, cabbage and lettuce,
and can be grown at less cost and kept
Cor winter feeling very easily.
Do not crowd the half grown chickens
together in a small coop. This causes
disease as well as deformities, such as
crooked. breastbones and wry tails.
Whitewash the nests and coops fire.

Paul Dunbar was bern In Dayton in 1872.
His parents had been slaves N Kentucky.
He started at six years Of age TO attend the
Dayton public schools and graduated at
eighteen. He excelled in composition and
elocution. and at fourteen years of age his
little poems were readily accepted by the
local papers. With bent toward writing
he continued to supply newspapers with
poetry and sketches, and gradually to ap-
pear at public entertainments as n reciter.
Young Dunbar IS quiet, una assuming
fellow. and has hosts of friends in this city
and county. where he is regarded as n
bright and talented youth, whose abilities,
if afforded proper opportunities, will make
for him a creditable career.
Here is the first verse Of one Of his poems.
which gives an idea Of his ability as dia-
lect versifier
You kin talk about vore anthems

The Orsnrinc OF Drnnl.nrds.

Demme studied ten families of drink
ers and ten families of sober persons. Tn"
direct posterity of the ten families Of
drinkers included fifty-seven children.
OF these twenty-five died in the first
weeks or months Of their life; six were
idiots; in five children a striking back
wardncss of their longitudinal growth
was observed; five were affected with
epilepsy; five with inborn diseases; one
boy was taken with chOrea and became
idiotic. Thus of the ffty-seven children
Of drinkers only ten, or 17.5 per cent,
showed a normal constitution and devel-
opment
The ten sober families had sixty-one
children, five only dying in the first
weeks: four were affected with incurable
diseases of the nervous system; two only
presented inborn defects. The remain
ing fifty (8l.0 per cent? were normal in
their constitution and development.
From this series of investigations we de-
rive the sad truth that among the chill
dren of drinkers the prevailing mortality
is so fearful that the survivors repre-
sent n pitiful crowd afflicted with un-
soundness of mind, idiocy. epilepsy and
other disorders of their nervous system,
and that only very small proportion Of
the descendants grow up useful mem
bers of society.-Catholic Review.

| Much That Is Earnest aud True Walking
Daily by our Side.
In every nature there is something
akin 10 hero worship. even though we
do not call it by that name, aud certain
it is that in our desire to oxalt some
unknown parsonage, either in fiction or
reality, to pedestal, we overlook the
everyday heroes that we come in con-
tact with every hour of our lives. 1t
doesn't follow that a man or woman
must dc some deed Of daring for all the
world to hear about in order to DO by
nature as great and noble MS those
whose deeds have been recorded and
whose names arc known the world over.
Right in our homes arc heroes and
hcroines whose histories are such that
If We were but able to read them we
would feel that all the figures Of romance
sink into insignificauce before the elm
pie courage and earnest heroism OF
those who make duty" the watch
word OF their lives.
How many women there are who have
given up hopes OF love with the man
OF their choice in order to devote their
time and strength to the aged parents
or invalid brothers and sisters They
do not go about shouting for all the
world TO hear their sacrifice, but accept
the burden in dignited and cheerful
silence that sometimes misleads one
into thinking that they are not heroines
after all.
There are fathers, husbands and
brothera daily giving up the things that
mean SO much i'll life to them, and doing
in noble and transformations fashion
deeds OF charity, and renouncing that
which perhaps would not seem much
in the telling, but which was as sore
and bitter in tho first ranking rs any OF
tho trails OF those heroes whom we read
about.
Life is not all sclfshness, though in
the hurrying rush OF money-gett!ng
many good impulses are crushed under
foot, and so many real heroes brushed
aside that one hardly realizes that after
all there is much that is earnest and
true walking daily side by side with US,
taking part in our very existence, and
becoming so much n part OF our very
selves that the good seems only com
monplace and unworthy OF notice unless
it is Haunted about with waving banners
bearing the legend: "This is self-sacri-

HEn GROOMING GLORY.


How Woman May Keep Her Hair Present.
able TIL Old Age.
1t is safe to say that tho average wo-
manly woman takes down and puts up
her back hair twenty-five times 4 week.
Ii the short space OF five minutes were
devoted at each operation to vigorous
brushing OF the scalp, no other care
would be necessary to keep the hair
clean, glossy and beautiful, and the
head in healthy condition. A white
haired gentIewoman who has been do
ing this sort of hair dressing for the
last fifty years offers in evidence clean
scalp and au abundant head al hair, to-
gether with the startling information
that she has not washed her head since
she went 10 boarding school, in Octo-
her. 1913.
q Iftho hair is much exposed to dust,
which is the case in the pursuit OF near
" every line OF industry, if tho scalp is
scaly, ii the perspiration is excessive, or
if the emulation OF oil is sufficiently
copious to mat the hair. the head should
DO washed ut least once week. Wom-
Gil WHO HWEtp1 WOlh III SlOIAlHEI IhSuiA-
cal, tobacco. feather and food factories;
operators in mills and women who
teach, travel, or lead outdoor lives in
the city, can scarcely expect to get
along with loss than three shampoos q
week and systematic combingand brush
ing night aHd day.
The amount and variety OF dirt that
woman's back hair can accumulate ina
days outing or days work would
startle veteran pathologist.
When it is not convenient to clean
the head thoroughly the scalp may be
freshened and the pores stimulated by
what is called dry shampoo. First
comb the hair well to got it free from
tangles, to distribute the dust it may
hold and also to excite the scalp. Then
pour into the hair an ounce OF diluted
alcohol or two ounces OF bay rum or any
convenient toilet water: use the fingers
to circulate it and then brush tho scalp
until it is dry and tho hair until it is
glossy. This can be done in five min
utes, and, while it is not thorough, it is
tidy apology for cleanliness

Dame Nature is, as rule, kind to the
fair sex, and they can handle their
limbs much better generally than men;
but there is still room for improvement
in the appearance OF most women. The
majority OF young women never give
the art Of cultivating the body any at
tention, hence 80 many weak and unde-
veloped figures. Women can become
ideals ofgraCeiui motion and beauty by
cuitivating tho body, and they can pre-.
serve health and beauty OF figure until
old age by physical training. Women
need physical exercise quite as much us
men, vet it is only within the last
few years that steps have been taken
to provide instruction for girls
in this useful art of physical
culture. Attic present time. however,
interest seems to have been awakened
in this important matter, and in most
cities there are colleges where physica
development is taught, and number
OF private gymna7iums whore girls and
women can enter upon q course OF phys
zeal training, and 1t is beyond question
that the pupiis'ot these halls OF health
are greatly improved in personal APP
pearance and health by systematic
physical training-rosy cheeks, bright
eyes, grace OF action, and clear and ring
ing laughter follow as result OF judi.
cious exercise. Present day methods OF
life are highly strained. and it is neces-
sary that tho body should be
fully developed and kept in permanent
strength BY habitual physical exercise
and wholesome food, otherwise the
physical lie becomes degenerated, and
eventually the body breaks down and
tho women become nervous and suffer
almost countless ills. Women are moro
prone to nervous prostitution" than
men, and especially so in this country.
Society women for the want OF regular
physical exercise become pale, thin and
spiritlcss, or grow corpuient To get
and keep the body in perfect health is
of the utmost importance; thorough
enjoyment OF life will follow as Il result.
