They Play Trick on People In the Horrors
of Seasickness.

1ney tlay u Ifick on PeOple In the d0rrore
of Seasickness.
A gentleman living in metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
a couple-a man and woman-whom
he Immediately recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in a steamer
crossing the channel His "reminiscences
were not of particularly agreeable ma
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested. The tale which he unfolded to
the police commissary was as follows:
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
fish port en- route to the shores of France
when he and about so other companions
in misery were seized with all the
symptoms of NAL de mer. The only trav-
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested.
He paced the deck with the utmost COM
placency, now and then taking from a
bonbon box lozenge, which he swal
lowed with apparent satisfaction. The
woman in whose company he was met
in Paris acted on the steamer as if she
was a perfect stranger to him, and she
seemed indeed to be the greatest victim
of them all. So intense was her suffer
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one of the lozenges declar
ing that they were a sovereign remedy
against seasickness. She took one, and
in the course of few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish a plate of sand
witches, washed down by bottle of
stout.
One after the other they begged the
possessor of the marvellous lozenges to
favor them with one. st so happens
that l am the inventor, he replied,
land as l have a few boxes with me
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them at the rate of 20 francs each. "
The unlucEy passengers, whose misery
had in the meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically wei
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sub
urbs being the purchaser of one.
But somehow the lozenges had no eff
feet Not one Of the buyers was to be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches,
and the whole party did not get to the
end of their troubles until they were
once more safely ON terra firma. The
suburban gentleman had the lozenges
analysed, and they were found to be or
binary jujabes. Chance had thrown the
couple in his way, and he told the po-
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose of getting money out of their
fellow passengers. The man and the
woman both declared at first that the
suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they
made full confession. Oddly enough
they had gone to the suburb to inspect
a house which they had thought of buy
ing with the proceeds of the sale OF
many boxes of jujube lozenges in nu-
merous passages across the silver streak
when the stormy winds did blow. Paris

Profitable Poultry.

Western Rural: The beginner in
poultry breeding is often puzzled as to
which breed to choose. After several
years of experience we have concluded
that there is no best breed of poultry
The man who prefers Leghorns will take
more care of flock OF this breed than
he would flock OF mongrels or Plymouth
r icks, and they will be the best breed
TOR him. The man who does not like
fowls at all will be apt to declare that
they do not pay their keep, and they will
not, simply because they are not kept in
way that is worth paying for. The
Western Rural believes in the paying
qualities OF poultry but it has no favor
tie breed. Good care max es poultry pay
and this does not necessitdte elaborate
buildings nor costly bill of tare. A
warm house and plenty OF feed in the
way OF grain end vege ables OF any kind
and plenty OF opportunity for exercise
will put any flock on a paying basis,
even if it ia one of the old two-pound
kind of hens. With the same kind Of
care, however, the improved breeds Will
pay in the hands of any one, for they
have been bred to a purpose and have
the inherited capacity TO produce more
eggs or lay on more flesh from a given
amount of food than mongrels will, just
as Jersey or short-h horn COW will give
greater returns than native one will
give. The beat specimens have been
bred from long series of years, and
the highest productiveness has become
characteristic. Keep improved poultry
by all means, but if you do not, give
what you do keep good care.

Chino, May 9th.


insecticides and fungicidee are as use
full in the poultry yard as in the orchard.
The Bordeaux mixture, which is now sc
well know n to farmers, is an excellent
and cheap disinfectant for the poultry
houee and yards. as is also the solution
known as Douglass mixture, which is
prepared by dissolving pound of cop
peras in two gallons of hot water and
then adding gill (about one ounce by
weighO of sui phuric acid after the mix
ture ia cold. When sprayed literally
over every portion of the premises the
funglcides will destroy not only the
germs OF disease but serve as an excel
lent preventive OF lice also.
The cheapest substances may be used
for preventing disease. There is no
better preventive of gapes than to use
lime freely in the poultry wards occu-
pied by chicks, and it is claimed that
where roup exists in the soil. mixture
OF pint OF spirits of turpentine with a
Dushel of air Stacked lime, freely and
carefully busted over the floor and
yards will eradicate the nuisance when
other remedies fail.
Cleanliness is the best method of pro-
noting the thrift and health of the
fowls, and dry dirt, which is so plentiful
and easily Obtained at this season, will
keep the floor OF the poultry house clean
by absorbing the moisture OF the drop.
pings. II quart of fine, dry plaster is
added to each bushel OF the dirt, the
combination will be excellent, and as
plaster is very cheap it should be kept
on hand ready for use.
Kerosene emulsion ia cheap remedy
for lice, and can be made at a cost of
less than per cent per gallon. With
such cheap ager cy within resch, lice
should be kept out Of the poultry house
entirely, and at no time should they
gain a Judgment therein. The best
tonic in summer time is plenty of fresh
water. Many yards are not always sup
piled in that respect, and yet it is more
important than food, and certainly much
cheaper, and will assist in keeping the
hens in good laying condition in sum-
mer.
A pound Of refuse tobacco stepped in
gallon of water. and the decoction
sprink led over every part of the poultry
house, will make it very dissgreeable

Four Years In a Barber Shop.

'It is rather curious fact" said a
prominent local railroad man who sports
a luxurious beard, THAT one of the few
occasions of my going to church in re-
cent years is responsible for my growing
this beard The minister happened in
the course of his sermon to say that a
man spent third of his time in sleep,
and that one living to the age of three
score and ten would pass % years in
slumber AS the sermon was not par
ticularly interesting one, my mind wan
dered away from it, and l began calcu-
lating how much of ones life would
be spent in a barber's shop Allowing
a reasonable time for waits and for the
actual process Of shaving daily, |
soon discovered that in tie years left
to me, if l should attain the patriarchal
age of 10, would spend at least four in
barber's shop Think of it'll Con-

A HERO'S MONUMENT.
One of the Terrible Incidents of the Civil
War Recalled.

War Recalled.
G. W. Humphrey of Shelby county,
Mo-, has just ordered a monument to be
placed over the grave of Hiram Smith
at Palmyra, Mo. Smith was victim of
the Mcneil butchery, which occurred at
Palmyra during the war, and which was
one of the most brutal affairs known in
history.
One of General McNeil's men was
missing, as the story goes, and he be-
lieved that he had been foully dealt
with. Mcneil announced that if the
missing man was not turned up by a
certain time he would select number
of citizens from the community and put
them to death.
People looked upon it as an idle threat,
but the time came, and Mcneil did as he
said he would do. Humphreys father
was one of the men selected and would
have been murdered with the rest had
not his friend, Hiram Smith, volunteered
to take his place in the doomed column
and die in his stead. Humphrey was a
married man, and Smith was single, and
on this account permitted himself to be
shot SO that his friend might be spared
to his family. The children of Mr.. Hum
phrey have long intended to erect mon
ument over the grave of the young hero
who died to spare their father, but the
matter has been put off until now

Orange Grower: Judge Mex inley of
Los Angeles has recently rendered de.
cision touching the powers OF horticul-
tural commissioners which is of general
interest.
S. o. Davis was arrested and com
United to jail for refusing to permit a
horticultural inspector to enter his or
chard for the purpose OF fumigsting or
washing the trees. Davis applied for a
discharge on a writ of nabess corpus, on
the ground that he was committed by a
magistrate without probable cause, to
answer to the superior court on the
charge of resisting an officer.
In concluding lengthy opinion
Judge Mckinley says:
The statu es with reference to the
horticultural com missioners clearly give
them the right to enter upon the prop
erty of any party failing to eradicate
insect pests, after giving proper notice,
and those statutes have been complied
with in this case. The only reason for
the discharge of the petitioner is the
failure on the part of the people to es-
tsblish either an actual interference or
a threat Of violence, which would natu-
rally deter a prudent man from'the per-
formance OF his duty. For this reason,
and for no other, the petition for writ
of haDeas corpus will be granted.
