Alcohol in Chicken Raising.

eyes, sir, | can raise chickens three
days quicker by planting the eggs than
can be done in the regular Way,' said an
man who officiatcs as gardener for a
prominent iron manufacturer on Fifth
avenue, East End. 1t seems strange but
chickens are about the onl y things that
man is able to grow. The usual things
produced in a garden anguish and fail
under his direction, but chickcus thrive.

with me from the old country. place
the eggs in box with little fertilizer,
then plant the box about four or five
inches below the surfacc.'
"Well some one told me you INDUCED
in an incarnation over the box, said the
reporter.
"Not at all; just put a little vinegar
over it, nothing clsc,' was the garden
er's reply.
You don't understand me- l mean
that you use some charm or othcr.'
son, no! The only rule you must
follow is not to open the box except be-
tween the going down and the coming
up Of the sum- was the way the gar
dcncr answered.
"Then there is some mystery about it,
after al?" was asked.
"No, you must keep the box dry"
replied the old chicken farmer.
The reporter gave up further question:
ing as futile, and permitted the gardener
to tell his story without interruption.

A CITY OF DnLLMAkERS,

At Sonnebcrg, which is in the heart Of
Germany, all the inhabitants are in the
business of doll making L, 1000 people
are all more or less dollmakcrs-and
among them they produce no fewer than
81, OOO, coo dozen doll babies every year.
1t is hard to realize what an enormous
quantity that is.
After this 1t sounds odd to say that in
Sonneberg it takes eighty persons to
make doll. Yet such is the fact. In
Germany labor is subdiyidcd as much as
possible, or, in other words, Il doll
maker does one little thing from wears
end to years end, and thus it comes
about that it takes eighty people to make
a doll.
Little boys, when they enter the Some
berg factories, spend long time in
painting nails on dolls fingers for which
they are paid about twenty five cents a
week. Some girls do nothing but fill
bodies with chopped hay or straw. Men
pass their lives in painting Doly's lashcs
and brows, and others in putting rouge
on her checks. So it is with other parts
of doll each is done by one person.
The dolls wigs are made by girls at
Munich, and their eyes come from little
town only few miles from Sonneberg
and are made by men in their own
homes
Endless are the varieties of dolls.
Every Sonncbcrg manufacturer has about
one hundred designs. Taste varies, and
besides in exporting dolls many things
have to be taken into cOnsid .tion. A
wax one cannot be sent to very hot or
a very cold country In the former it
would melt, il the latter crack. Then
if doll has rubber joints she cannot be
sent a long sea voyage. for Oh arrival at
her destination she would be armlcss and
legIess. A sea Journey also takes the
curl out of Dolly's hair and the starch
out of her clothes. Fashion, moreover
IS constantly changing. \ doll which
everybody buy ON s'ason is not looked
at the next New York Mail and Ex-
press.

She Hit the Can.

A terrible explosion occurred in Chiles
valley, on the Thomas Ellington ranch,
near the magncsia mine. Mrs. Bartlett,
whose husband owns the mine, was out
with a % calibre rifle shooting at fences
and rocks, when she noticed can some
fifty yards away. Taking aim, she fired
at it, and big explosion resulted. The
can did not happen to be an empty one.
1t contained twenty-five pounds of giant
powder. BY its explosion fences were
torn down and posts RACED to the ground.
The shock broke all the windows in the
windows in the house, tore off the
weather boarding anG threw Bartlett and
William Bradley who were kitchen, in a
heap upon the floor. LuckilyNIrs Bartlett,
the innocent cause of all this commo-
ton, was not injured, but the scene of
the upheaval now presents most de-
appearance. - INapa (Cal.)

Freddy lived in a fort out on the
prairics. His father was a soldier, who
rode big horse, and wore a sword that
ratified and jingled against his high
boots as he walked.
One day, os Frcddy's father was rid
ing, his horse stumbled at little hole
made by one of the prairie dogs, that
live underground. He heard a little
squeak, and looking down saw a small
animal resembling q large rat without a
tail
He was sitting on his hind legs, and
did not seem at all afraid. Freddy's
father took him home to his little son,
who had so longed for pet of this kind
Freddy did not know where to keep
him, and he asked one of the soldiers
what to do with him. Sergeant Brown
told him to let the creature dig hole in
the ground near his quarters, where the
soldiers could watch him, as they are
fond of pets; and he named him Tim.
Soon Tim felt quite at home. Every
morning when the bugles sounded for
the soldiers to get up, Mr.. Tim would
come out from his hole, and perch up on
his hind legs, and afterwards would
watch the men hurrying to breakfast
He seemed to know what this meant,
for, soon after, good Sergeant Brown
brought him some bread. and perhaps
an onion to top off with. But after
while, when Master Freddy called him,
Tim would come out and sit up very
straight, expecting something extra, of
course. Freddy always had something
better than an onion, and treated him to
u piece Of tomato or cake.
Life would have been very pleasant
for little Tim, had there been no horrid
dogs about But, alas! there were; and
they seemed very envious of the atten-
ton he received. One morning Frcddy's
dog Pat, whom he never would have
thought so cruel, jumped at poor little
Tim, and bit him so badly. that he lay
down and died Freddy cried bitterly;
he whipped Pat and locked him up.
But what good could it do little Tim,
who no longer was up in the morning
early te hear -fhe soldiers blow their
bugIes before breakfast
And good Sergeant Brown said, 81
would rather have given fifty dollars
than had poor Tim killed. . Nursery.

The Persian Shah's Highway.

The Shah's highway, considered as an
agreeable promenade, or merely as
necessary avenue of approach to Il great
capital, cannot be considered as Il shin

us as Ear as the eye can reach, it stretches
over level plain, and up slight rise,
bounded on one side by the arrow
straight line of iron telegraph poles. The
sky is slightly overcast; a fierce wind
blows in our faces, bringing dense clouds
of dust, which rise at times to greas
height in the distance, often taking The
form of watcrspOuts or q towering
columns of smoke; once cnVelOped in
one of these travelling duststoyms, there
is nothing to do but hold our heads
down, and with our eyes tightly shut

The Crazy Peer Voted.

There is only one well authenticated
case OF lunatic having voted in divi-
sion either in the House of Lords
or the House of Commons. In 1871. on
the occasion when Lord Melbourne's
government was defeated by one vote on
or Robert Peel's notice of want of con-
hdence, the Wings brought down Lord
Y, who was member for Scotch
county, although he was in a state of
absolute driveling idiocy, and his vote
was duly recorded on the government
SIDE. MIR. Charles Greville states that
TINS poor wretch was brought in
chair. They got him into the house and
then u1 wheeled him past the telers.
charles Howard, Melbourne's private
secretary, told me he thought it a mon
strous and indecent proceeding. ~

Wind Power.

An interesting note in the Electrician
on wind power says that some years ago
an attempt was made, under the auspices
of the Due de Feltre and NJ. l. Nigreux,
to drive the dynamos at the Pointe de
la Heve lighthouse by wind power. The
wind, however, as is it's custom, blew
when and where 1t listed, and ended one
fine, or rather one stormy, day by over
throwing the ungainly apparatus in
stalled on the exposed headland. NJ.
Max de Nansouty, in abiding to this
attempt to harness the wind, suggests
that the next time a similar attempt is
made it would be as well to try the effect
of surrounding the atmospheric tur-
bines' by strong towers, and directing
the wind onto the vanes by nozzles in
much the same way as the water is
directed onto the buckets of a Pelton
Wheel This idea of ''canalising' air
currents is, it is said, actually engaging
the attention of windmill experts.

WOMAN.
The Greatest Have Thought it Worthy
to Honor Her.

I think there is nothing made in crea.
ton that can be compared with woman
not even man. Homage and devotion
to woman is the first duty of man,
after homage and devotion to the
Supreme Being, whom all the different
races unite in describing as God. have
fancied that woman and woman's love
represented the ruling spirit, as man and
mans brain represent the moving agent,
in the world. have drawn pictures of
an age in which real chivalry of thought,
word and deed might be the only law
necessary to control mems actions. Not
the scenic and theatrical chivalry of
the middle ages, ready at any moment to
break out into epidemic crime, but a
true reverence and understanding of
woman's supreme right to honor and con-
slderatlon; an age where it should no
longer be said that love is but an episode
in the brutal life of man, while to woman
: is life itself. There is no pleasure like

Canned Fruit.

This industry, which has attained
such extensive proportions, owes its ex-
istance to an accident. The process was
known to the inhabitants of Pompei,
but had long been forgotten. Some years
ago party of Americans happened to be
present at some excavations in that city
when some jars of preserved figs were
found. Investigation showed that the
figs had been put into the jars in a
heated state, an opening left for the
steam to escape and then sealed with the
wax. The hint was taken, and the fol,
lowing year fruit-canning was introduced
in the United States after the manner
practiced in Pompeii two thousand years
before.

TIE WINDS OF MEMORY.

Upon the western shore to night Pm sitting,
The shore that slopes to touch boundless
sea,
And watch the white ships inward, outward
fleeing,
And wonder when my ship will como for
me;
And whore it lies, and whittier it is 60
ing,
I only hear the winds of memory blow
ing
Across the cliffs of yesterday they're coming
They fan my forehead with the forest air.
Remembered melodies the hills are hum.
ming;
A scent of pine trees hovors everywhere.
Ihear again the b2nkside brooklet flow
ing,
While all the winds of memory are blow
ing.
Blow on, sweet winds, your singing or your
signing
Brings back tonight half-forgotten tune:
Beneath the apple blooms once more I'm
lying.
Ifeel thcbreath of girlhoods happy juno;
Lies early dawn, again see it glowing,
While all the winds ofmemory are blowing.
4 summer song, now faint, now fuller growing
far-off lullaby from mother lips.
Love, living love, receiving and bestowing;
listen, listen! On, yo white-winged ships,
do not heed your coming or your going,
While all the winds ofmemory are blowing,
Upon the western shore to night I'm straylng
The shore that slopes to touch boundIe;s
sea,
And watch the pillows upward, downward
swaying.
But do not care how near the lido may be;
Or, if the waters touch my feet, not
knowing,
While l can hear tho winds of memory
blowing.
