Speaking of diphtheria it will probably be
news to most physicians that they do not
know case of diphtheria when they see it.
It is not stated in these exact words, but
the doctrine enunciated by the New York
Board of Health justides the inference.
This is open to argument. The dlphtheria

the cases the disease diagnostc1Ued as
diphtheria was not the genuine mslady at

cent. All the numberless contribution to

 Only Diamond Dyes - Absolutely
 Fast Black.
 It is only within the last few years that 1t has been possible for an mex perieneed person to dye a black that would not crock. fade. or wash out. Even mill-dyed black goods were rarely absolutely fast.
 The advent of three diamond dye fast blaeks.-for wool, for cotton, and for silk and feathers.-has changed all this. Now, with a ten cent package of one of these dyes, the first trial gives perfect success. The directions on the packages are so plain and simple that even a child can getter results than the experienced dyer could few years ago.
 The prevailing fashion for black stockings, feathers, gowns. and cloaks, and the fact that anything can be col ored with diamond dyes black that will not crock or fade, explains their almost universal use.
 The peculiar way in which the dla- mond dye fast blacks are made gives them great superiority over all other methods of home dyeing.
 There are some forty other colors of diamond dyes, each of which is thor oughly reliable, and as superior to Int tations as sunlight iS to moonlight.

A Famous Beadle of Paris.

Discours, the beadle of the Church of
st. Roch, in Paris, died on Saturday. He
was almost famous for his tall stature,
imposing air and portly figure, and was
at once the tallest of the Paris beadles
and the senior of them all. Provost, the
beadle of the Madeleine, stood next in
stature, and after him came the beadle
of Notre Dame, an ex-drum major, who
was engaged two years ago by Archbish-
OPP Richard.
Discours was passionate lover of bill
lizards and went every evening to play
at the Cafe Regence, where he used to
measure his skill with M. Grevy before
the latter was president of the republic.
He constantly saw there man taller
than himself, Mr.. Theodore Tilton, the
American poet, who went to La Re-
gence to play chess and was more than
match for Grevy. The post of beadle
in Paris church is much envied one
among the class of men who compete for
it. At Notre Dame, the Madeleine and
St. Clotilde the salary is EGO, and there
are perquisites at grand weddings and
funerals. In smaller churches the pay
is $40. The gorgeous uniforms and sill
yer headed wand are provided by the
vestry.-London News.

BRAN VS.. WHEAT.
The Results of Test in Which They
Were Compared.

The Results of a Test in Which They
Were Compared.
In view of the very low price of wheat
and the probable doubt in which many
farmers find themselves as to whether
to sell or feed their wheat, the results of
a test / made last winter in which bran
and wheat were compared may be of
interest.
On February Is two lots of ewes with
lambs averaging five weeks old were
selected, making the lots as similar as
possible. Each lot contained nine lambs
and their mothers. They were confined
in stalls, given what mixed hay they
would eat, and were watered from pals.
For their grain ration one lot was given
half corn and half bran by weight, the
other half wheat and half corn. The
lambs were fed by themselves twice a
day what they would eat up clean of the
same ration. The bran-fed lot weighed
at this date 1871 pounds and on March
Ii 220 pounds, a gain of 46R. Those
fed on wheat weighed at the beginning
of the experiment 1851 and at the close
229, gain of 81 q pounds.
Dropping out of account one from each
lot that made very little gain. owing to
the fact that their mothers were very
poor suckers, those fed on bran made
an average gain of pounds 10 ounces !;
those fed on wheat, an average gain of
Z pounds 8 ounces. So far as this ex-
pertinent goes it shows wheat to be the
cheaper feed at the present relative
prices, AZ cents per bushel and 20 cents
per hundred. No trouble arose from
constipation among the wheat-fed lambs,
as was feared.

POULTRY NOTES.

Remember to keep the drinking YES
sells supplied with water.
A small stock we'll cared for will pay
more dollars than a large one neglected.
Market your eggs when fresh and you
will establish reputation that brings
money.
Don't feed surplus cockerels till they
become "old ROSTERS" 1t takes corn
and cuts the price to do it.
Some who supply customers regularly
with fresh eggs use a rubber stamp to
mark on each egg the date on which it
was laid.
Gather the eggs daily-store in a cool,
dry place, and find as far as possible pri-
vate customers that will take eggs weekly
or Oftener.
When shipping poultry long distances
supply the coops with corn and water.
Do not mix lot of meal and compel the
eating of sour stuff.
The hog has been called the mortgage
raiser. Have you ever tried to see what
a few hens we'll cared for will do toward
preventing mortgage?
Many Colorado poultry fanciers are
using extract OF lOgWOOd as proven
tive of cholera. Put enough in the
drinking water, once week, to redden
it the least bit.
Fresh eggs are always wanted and
they are as hard to get in summer as in
winter, and we are inclined to think
harder, for eggs SO soon become stale in
warm weather.
We hold that no farm is properly
stocked unless it has at least small
flock of fowls that are not half ROSTERS,
and that no farm is properly managed
if the hens are not taken care of regu-
larly.
If you have old hens that are to be
disposed of this fall, it will pay to sell
as soon as they quit laying. Grain is
money these days, and fed to fat hens
that are not laying, it will bring no pay
ing returns.

Boiler Scales.

The use of oil in preventing boiler
scale now so prevalent is met with the
objection that in using other than stand
ard oil of $50 to 800 degrees fire test
there is danger of the formation Of what
is called oil scale. This, according to
chemical authority, is owing to the fact
that when the higher fire test oils are
introduced they rise and float upon the
top of the water, and the latter, impreg-
mated with sediment and mud, boils
and bubbles up through the oil scum on
top, and on the water becoming vapor-
lied it liberates the particles of mud
and scale contained, which fall back
upon this layer of oil upon the top of
the water. After awhile the layer of oil
becomes SO impregnated with mineral
substances that it sinks to the bottom
of the boiler, forming an incrustation,
or oil scale, which is as injurious to the
boiler as is the lime or magnesium
scale. But the same objection, it is re-
marked, has also been made to crude
petroleum. New York Sun.
