FISH FOR SUPPER.

How Gen. sherman Was Flooded Out
by Foragers.
Ingenuity was the characteristic
that made Private Ed Grim the handy
man of his company, that helped him
to be always comfortable, often well
fed and got him into more scrapes
than any other private in Company X,
of the One Hundred and Fifth, Ohio
That is saying a good deal, for Com
pany X was the best band of foragers
in Sherman's army, and of all that
command they were fattest. sauciest
and most full of fight during the march
to the sea. Ed was ragged and usual
ly had enough for a good meal between
marches, but despite his tatters he
sighed after luxuries which for the
most part were unattainablc TO private
soldiers. 1t was this craving for some
thing tasty that made him go out with
two comrades on secret foraging ex-
pedition one afternoon in Tennessee
just as the army were going to en-
camp by a little creek. Sherman's
headquarters were pitched on little
meadow by the river bank, on beauti-
full green sward, when the three pri-
Yates went up the creek to find some
thing good to eat. They did not go far
until a small pond was found, a sheet
of water which looked as though it
might be full of fish. 1t was artificial
ly backed up for a mill dam by an en-
bankment of woodwork kept in posi-
ton by big logs The three were in
search of fish, and having cast their

sly and had evidently no intention of
becoming part of a hungry soldiers
supper. Grim was in despair and his
comrades swore as it is the immemor-
ial right of every private the world
over to do on the least provocation.
Then, like spark of genius, Grim
a glorious idea, he thought, that
would not only contribute fish to the
supper of himself and his comrades,
but supply something toothsome for
all the signing members of Company
X. He confided his plans to his two
friends, and all three set out to gather
brushwood. This they piled against
the wooden dam, and when enough
had been gathered the fagots were
lighted, and the three schemers sat
down on the bank, lit their pipes and
awaited results.
Their plan was to burn down the
dam, let the water escape, and catch
all the fish they could carry, as the
rushing water left them high and dry
in the lake bed, and that plan was
carried out to the letter. When the
big wooden supports were well eaten
into by the fire the weight of water
above the dam began to bulge the
woodwork, and little spurts would
triclsle over into the almost dry bed of
the creek below. Soon there was a
cracking above the roar of the flames,
and, with a wild plunge, the waters of
the pond carried the dam away, burst

and Mrs. Hen are the people to do the
work properly We illustrate the
way this thing is done in England. A
little henhouse on wheels, large
enough for twenty-five hens, is hauled
about from one part of the field to an
other. Wherever it stops, the hens
clean up all the scattered wheat for
many rods in every direction. They
come back to the house to sleep and
lay. All the farmer has to do is TO
move the house and gather the eggs
the hens do the rest. There is prog

"hens by the acre" On many an
American wheat farm the hens could
make the waste wheat worth a good
deal of money.-Rural New Yorker.

PORTABLE HEN HOUSE.

How Poultry Can Be Made to Utilize
Waste In Grain Fields.
There is always more or less grain
lost in harvesting-shelled off the
heads or broken down out of reach of
the reaper. When grain was high in
price farmers could afford to ignore
this waste and let it seed the land
with volunteer crop. The writer
has often herded cows on the great
Colorado wheat fields, that were seeded
in this way. In these times, however,
every little counts" and even the
waste in the grain fields must be
picked up and utilized. But whose la
Dor is so valueless that it will not cost
more than the grain is worth? Mr..

MANY USES OF TAR.

To the Poultry Raiser 1t May Be Said to
BE Indispensable.
Poultry ra.sers seem to have failed
to learn the value of tar. 1t is valua-
BILE in many ways, says c. w. Norris in
the Epitomist. l am led to believe that
to tar the fence around the poultry
house, instead of whitewashing, will
be much better. 1t will contribute
largely to the durability of the wood.
protecting it from storm and time. It
is in the poultry-house that the value
of tar is the greatest, for it conduces
greatly toward healthfulness When
cholera makes its appearance, we
would advise, first, thorough clean
ing of the house, next, an application
of tar on all the joints, cracks and
crevices of the inside of the building
and then plenty of fresh whitewash
properly applied. The tar absorbs or
drives away the tairt of disease, and
makes the premises wholesome. The
smell is not offensive, in fact many
people like it, and it is directly oppo-
site to unhealthy. To vermin, lice,
etc, the smell of tar is very repulsive,
and but few will remain after you
have tarred the house. A neighbor of
ours was once troubled with chicken
cholera, and by adopting the above, in
connection with removing affected
fowls, he soon put a stop to its raw
ages. A small lump of tar in the
| drinking water supplied to the fowls
will be found beneficial. 1t is also
very beneficial to the human system in
case of consumption, bronchitis and
severe colds.

Proofs of the Authenticity of Christ's
Tomb in Jerusalem.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher
comprises within its walls the site of
Calvary as well as the tomb of our
Saviour, as they are only about sixty
feet distant from each other.
The identity of these holy spots has
of late been assailed from various quar-
ters, but the very fact that every oppo-
neRt of the traditional site has fixed
his imaginary sanctury on different
spot is enough to prove the empti-
ness of their assertions. Oriental
and occidental tradition has always
pointed to the one spot venerated by
them all 1t is not my purpose, how
ever, to enter upon a discussion regard
ing the authenticity of the Holy
Shrines, which is proven by an unin-
terrupted chain of witnesses which has
never lost link from the death of
Christ to Hadrian, from Hadrian to ST.
Helena, from st. Helena to the Crusa-
ders, and from their day until the pres
ent time. Believe is in the Skull Hill and
other new Calvarys and Holy Sepul-
chres are modest enough to suppose
that the Christians and scientists of one
thousand and eight hundred years were
all blind and misguided until these new
theorists appeared. But excepting a
few curiosity-seekers, nobody visits
these new sites of calvary and the Holy
Sepulcher, and tomorrow we may hear
of some other ones made to order to
suit the latest ideas of some seeker OF
novelty and fame.
The church of the Holy Sepulcher is
situated at present within the walls of
the city, in the northwest part of Je-
rusalem. This fact is the chief STUN
bling block of the opponents Of the ira
ditional sanctuary, as Scripture tells us
that the Saviour was crucifed without
the gate. The place of the erucifixion
however. was added to Jerusalem about
the year A. D. Il by Hercd, and was
surrounded by wall. Recent excava
tions made by the Russians have
brought to light foundations of the sec
ond wall, thus establishing the fact
that the actual Basiiica of the Holy Sc
pulcher lay without the walls, although
near to them.-North American Re

How to Keep the Water from Getting

the dust lodging on the roof, together
with dead leaves, and various sub
stances whirled about by the wind,

cistern Unless it is frequently
cleaned, this fouls the water and
gives it a bad odor. The illustration
presented above shows plans for
cistern so arranged as to avoid this
difficulty. The overflow pipe, a, In,
stead Of simply entering the cistern at
the surface of the water in the usual
way, continues down the inner surface
and opens near the bottom. Then,
whenever the cistern fills with water
| and overfows, the surplus enters the
discharge pipe at the bottom, thus
carrying off whatever sediment may
have been deposited. AS the sub
stances that are washed from the roof
into the cistern always settle grad
ually to the bottom, each hard rain
that fills it to overhowing forces them
into the discharge pipe and carries
them off to the drain. Such foul sedi-
ment forms good nest for disease

texture it is not necessary to brick up
the sides, but the cement may be laid
