Marke. Qualities In Poultry.

Market Qualities In Poultry.
The largest breeds, such as Brah'nas,
Cochins and Plymouth Rocks are not
favored with preponderance Of breast
meat. In fact, all birds that have very
small wings are deficient IN the breast,
while those that go over fences and
upon tree limbs are gifted with large
muscles on the breast. 1t is the devel-
oplnent of muscle TINT covers the breast
bone with meat. The Dorplng il well
proportioned in nearly all respects and
possesses plenty Of wings aud tail. thus
giving outward evidence Of it's muscular
development. while its body Is Mrge,
low, long, and heavy. But the draw

The New Cure fer Morphine 1Ot0e
onlnE.
The virtue of DIR. Moor's new cure
for morphine and opium poisoning il
now acknowledged by the, medical pro-
fession. 1t appears to have been dis
covered quite by accident. DR.. Moor
was attending well known actor who
suffered from acute pleurisy. The pa
tient was addicted to morphine. and
DIR. Moor took exceptional interest in
him, earnestly implored him to break
the habit, and used his best endeavors
to find q means Of promoting that
end. The idea occurred to him that
possibly permanganate Of potash might
decompose morphine, which Is ON or
eventually break the habit Of his pa
tient without restricting him from
taking morphine. Ills experiments
were cut short by the departure OF the
patient on a professional tour, but DE-.
Moor had already secured such re-
suits rs to convince him that he had
the germ of great discovery. He con-
tinued his Investigations. and has at
last given the result to the world. In
case Of poisoning by any Of the salts
of morphia 10 to Is grains Of the anti
dote dissolved in u or 8 ounees Of water
should be administered at once, and
repeated ut intervals Of thirty min
utes three or four times, or even more
often. Permanganate Of potassium, as
well as the salts Of manganese, are
comparatively harmless, even IL given
In large quantities. DR.. Moor recon-
mends that in cases Of poisoning by
the alkalold itself or by tinctlre Of
opium Qaudanum), also by opium, that
the antidotal solution should be acid
ulated with diluted sulphuric acid. or.
in the absence of this, with some
white vinegar mot red vinegar), by
which the insoluble morphia will be at
once converted into soluble and inoc
uous sulphate. DR.. Moor believes that
the administration Of permanganate
will be Of beneficial I feet even after
absorption Of the morphine has taken
place.

Wheat Makes Better Pork.

1t is generally admitted that wheat
when fed to hogs improves tue quality
Of pork. More lean Is the usual result,
or rather the lean Is in layers in midst

addition of oats, rye, barley. cotton

will maintain the highest standard.
Eeven when worth 81 bdshel 1t

the wheat, particularly the muscles and

meat II accordingly better adapted to
the wants Of man for nourishing and
restoring decaylng and broken muscles
of the human frame.
Skeptical people are ready to object
to feeding wheat worth 81 per bushel
to hogs worth cents per pound gross
but it IL realized that people will use
onc-third more pork because Of the Inn
proved quality obtained by mixing
wheat In the food we have practically
the worth Of the wheat In the increased

A Russian Students Hair.

An Odessa correspondent of the London
Times says: "An event has happened which
has caused quite CONSERVATION among
the students attached to-the university
here. Prince Toumanuf, member OF An
I'D and historical family in this country,
has inst received an order expelling him
from the university here and directing him
to leave the town within torty-eight hours
The extraordinary reason for this Draco'
nian decree is that he declined to wear his
hair short. He has been refused permis-
sion To 60 to st. Petersburg To present a
pc tition and now by his expulsion from
this university he is not permitted to enter
another in Russia; therefore his bright
hopes and his aspirations to employ his
talent. for his country's benefit are wreck
ed and his career in Russia is ruined. The
severity with which the university stu
dents in South Russia have lately been
tIested is viewed with dismay. Their
grievances are left unredressed and petl-
tions are useless. In these circumstances
fresh disorders may be expected to brea k
out at any time"

Something 20 Crow About.

and one has been reported whi3h Is worthy
f retelling. Samuel Miller, the plasterer
esiding on West Pomfret street, some
time ago set hen and on Tuesday last the
chickens were to have been hatched. On
Sunday the hen left the nest To eat and IN
some manner broke its neck, from the
effects Of which, as one would most nat
urally conclude, death resulted.
Mr.. Miller had no more hens about the
yard, only an old rooster remained, he did
not possess an incubator and he did not
want to lose the embryotic chickens. de
was in quandary and hal about given NJ
the contract of assisting the peeps TO hght

use the old rooster. He did so and in s
most improved manner. Two holes were
bored through the bottom of the nest, the
