Chickens on the Farm.

Jon. Gilmer Speed, in IIarper's Weekly.
| generation ago the chickens to
be seen around the average farm.
house were of mixed and haphazard
breed. There are farmers still who
keep such poultry; there are also
tarmers who do not believe that the
world is round and revolves on its axis
every twenty-four hours. Blu, farmers
SO careless as to their poultry arc al
most as scarce as the latter ignorant
class. You may meet a farmer
whose ideas are a little mixed about
the rotation Of crops. and the value of
silage, but you have to 60 far indeed
to find one who has not his preference
as between Plymouth Rock, Leghorns,
Langshans, Cochins, and Brabmas.
Chickens on farm are kind of
saving bank, and those which lay the
most eggs and fetch the highest prices
as Drollers are very naturally more
esteemed. Now the fancy farmers
were the first to attempt to breed
better chickens in this country. and
they continue 10 lead in the expert
ment looking towards the further
betterment of domestic fowls. There is
one thing that has been insisted on in
vain, so far as ordinary farmers are
concerned. That is the value of
cleanllness-clealiness in the chicken
house and cleanliness in the food and
water giving to the fowls. Unclean
houses are productive of all kinds of
disease, and unclean food and water
also. There is an old.fashioned
notion that chickens are good
scavengers, aud that if allowed the
freedom of the barnyard they will
forage for themselves. This is true,
but it is very unlikely that any cock
or hen from such range would ever
take prize in a poultry show. The
way to get prize chickens is to mate
best with the best, and rear the broods
with care. As the reward, both in
profit and satisfaction, is well worth
the trouble, it seems strange that any
country people should be content
with any but the best.

Wash white fannels in cold water

He Felt Embarrassed.

A Detroiter who was in Cincinnati
last week was at one of the railroad de-
pots one afternoon and met man whom
he used to know in Albany Is years ago.
After handshaking and talking for few
minutes the Albany man remarked:
"Come and be introduced to my wife
That's she over there"
"What! Is that-that lady your
wife" stammered the Detroiter.
"Why, certainly-come along"
"But-but'-
"Why, man, what ails you? Don't
you want to meet my wife?''
Eyes, of course. That is-please ex-
cuse me. I'd rather not meet her-not
today"
"Say?" said the other as he stood back
and looked the Detroiter over for a min
ute, ''my wife was a divorced woman
when married her."
"Was-was she?"
"And I'll bet $500 you were her first
husband! Yes, I'm sure Of it! Out with
it, old boyv'
"Well, I was"
''And naturally enough you felt bit
embarrassed and don't care to be intro
duced. see how it is and won't urge
you. Let's go outdoors and smoke. -

Living In the Cities.
TO BE Continued.

The increase of cities is certain tend
ency of our age and is not confined to
England, where frantic manufacturing
ambition and feudal institutions in the
country stimulate that tendency to the
utmost. But there is a tendency no less
certain at work-the improvement of
cities. The present generation has seen
an enormous advance toward the true
municipalization of great towns. Munic-
ipal patriotism, art, beauty, health, re-
Taxation, are at least ideals and POSSIBLE
tiles.
There are even now great towns which
are well on the road to become worthy
abodes of civilized man. Edinburgh
Nottingham, Halifax, Huddersfeld, Ok
ford, are putting their house in order and
may one day be fit to be called the home
of cultured citizens. Mr.. William Nor
ris is wrong in dreaming that we are all
going to live in the country. Half of us,
trust, will. But the other half will
live in reasonable, moderate, healthy
fair and highly organized towns.
Our task is to make our towns whole
some, beautiful, pleasant and conven-
lent. 1t is a tremendous task, but it is
not beyond the resources of civilization

the thoughts which could 1mpart so deep
melancholy as that which overcast her
face.
AS she sat there motionless the two
strangers came back into the courtyard.
Remond, always on his guard, paused as
he caught sight Of the woman, whose az
rival he had not noticed during the
dance. Making sign to his companion
to remain still, he advanced cautiously
behind her and managed to see her face
without being seen. But at the first glance
he recoiled with a look of terror, while
it needed all his self control to enable
him to suppress an ejaculation.
"What is it?" said Bertrand, who had
seen him recoil.
''Nothing!' he replied.
''Then let us go. 1t is time to be on
the road"
presently. Let us sit here little
longer" and as he spoke the thought
surged through his brain: els it possible?
Can it be possible?"

arose and With a large stick pro-
ceeded to get satisfaction by striking the
pastor several heavy blows ovor the head

HAD LOST $780, 900 AT ONE FARO SIT
rING.-James p. Rynders, the fai o
king, never made much of talk amorg
the sports about being rich man. He
vas one of that kind of people who do
whole lot of things aud very little
talking. Consequently, when he died
in Oakland a few weeks ago, not many
OF his friends knew whether he had
gone to his grave rich or poor man.
But they said that old Jim would not
care because he was alone in the
world, never having married.
Ii has been years since Jim Rynders
toved with the kitty" or bucked the
tiger. He had forsaken many of his
old sporting friends, aud located him
self in quiet home in East Oakland,
where he spent his last days in peace
aud happiness. 1t was said of him that
he had no worry on account of his gam
bling days, for he had lost more money
at the gambling table than he had ever
won. In fact, he made the greatest loss
in the State, dropping 100000 at one
sitting at faro. That loss is matter
of history. But Jim Rynders did not
die penniless. When he retired from
the ring of chance, he madea few iegiti.
mate speculations, aud the reformed
gambler made an honest fortune.
Recently w. d. Thomas, John l..
Bromley and James Larne filed in the
Alameda Superior Court an inventory
and appraisement ofthe Rynders estate.
1t shows that the decedent had s. 4,130
in cash, and some mortgages in the
East valued at 81 ,622. He also held a
promissorv note Of an attorney for
- ,263. The home place in East Oak
land is valued at 81 500. Pulgas Ranch,
in San Mateo, consisting of i04 acres, is
valued at 100000. The total value of
of the estate is S74 222 A niece of the

The Eye ola Mountain.

"The Old Rag" is long jagged spur
of the Blue Ridge that skirts the coun-
ties of Madison and G eene, and loses its
name after reaching farther south. 1t
is one of the features of the splendid
country throushwhich it paSses-grand,
gloomy and peculiar, its rugged sides
cear-cut against the the sky aud look
ing forbid1iug in its towering majesty.
Here was the scene Of the Gold Bug"
of Poe, one of the wicrde-t and thrill
ing stories, in which the great writer
indulges in the mysteries OF the stars
and divination. The eastern side Of the
Old Rag overlooks Il long stretch of
country and is seen a long way oil.
About three fourths of the way up the
side OF this mountain is phenomenon
that has for many years attracted the
attention of the people for miles arourd,
caused much speculation, and yet TO
this day remains the mystery of the
'.Oid Rag
This is bright, beautiful light which
burns and glows on the side of the Rag.
Not every night, but only when the at
mosphrre is favorable, then the "Eye
Of the Rag may be seen, dazzling and
scintillatins as if it were some immense
diamond set in the rocks of the ever
lasting hills. So far, Investigation has
not solved the mystery, though at ir
regular periods, some enthusiast under
takes TO investigate, but gives up the
problem in short time. Persons have
camped on the mountain for days at
time, seeing the light then as from be-
low; but so precipitous are the sides
and so impossible are the huge bould-
ers and rocks that lie all around. that
nothing definite has been learned 9th
ers, more scientific and enterprising,
nave spent days in locating the great
diamond, by establishing a line of sta
tions and signals, but the light still
shines-the mystery OF the ridge.
1t can be no artificial light, for no
one lives within several miles, and to
make such light night after night for
so many years would be simply impos-
sible. Then, too, it is too sparkling,
scintilating and opalescent for art to
make, and, whatever it is, one thing is
sure, and that is it is the work of ma
ture. The light on favorable night is
seen thirty miles away, and at that dis
tance still preserves the peculiar shoot
ing, darting features, which are seen to
much better advantage from the imme-
diatc vicinity.
