POULTRY.

People who give their poultry finely

along with their other food, will find
them an excellent preventive against

allowed to run at large and gather food
for themselves. Flocks which roam
over the fields are in better condition be.

Do not expect eggs unless the hens are
in bright, healthy condition; neglect
neither food. exercise, cleanliness nor
projections; and then have a purpose in
feeding, and feed for that purpose. Do
not feed merely to keep the hens alive
and to satisfy their hunger.
Turkeys dry picked sell best and com

and geese should be scalded in water as

1t must not be overlooked that the

profit. and this should encourage him
to increase his stock. Hens pay best as
producers of eggs. and ducks are also
excellent layers. but the largest profits
from poultry are procured from turkeys
and geese, as they can support themsel

OUR OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
The "Out-Of-Date" Couple.

We are $50 out of date" they say,
Ned and L;
We love in an old-fashioned way,
Long since gone by.
He saws am his helpmate true
In everything;
And well, will own to you
He is my king.
We met in no romantic way
'Twixt glow and gloom"
We wooed me on winter day,
And ina room;
Yet. through life's hours OF stress ana s.orh'
When griefs befel.
Love kept our small home corner warm
And all was vel.
Ned thinks no woman like his wife
But let that pass;
Perhaps we view the dual life
Through roseate glass;
Even If the prospects be not bright,
We hold it true
The heaviest burdens may grow light
When shared by two.
Upon the gilded scroll of tame.
Emblazoned fair.
I cannot hope to read the name
proudly bear;
But, happy in their even flow,
The years glide by;
We are behind the times, we know

p thirty yearsthe old wom
en- had dozed and nodded to his
music and the young girls had sat
dreaming about weddings and christ
enings while Old Hunchback up IN
the organ loft sat and improvised
soul swaying melodies on his instru-
ment. But outside of the parish not
cat knew Father Michael.
What happened to him has hap
pened to many others; after his death
his name was known over land ana
kingdom. Then fame took it on It's
wings, and now, wherever dwells an
Alsatian is known the legend OF
Father Michael's Stabat Mater.
In his youth he had dreamed OF
great achievements and honor as an
artist. but never had he believed that
his name would be celebrated in leg
end and in song-he who in his old
aoe had become accustomed to being
laughed at by everybody.
And pitifully ridiculous looking ne
was with his hunched back and his
monkey face, SO ugly that the dogs
barked when they saw it. And Tor
this reason he had gone through life
with love for naught but his music
Up in the organ loft of the church,
lifted above his fellow men, he was
transformed into another being. And
he played with such wonderful skill
and touch that the maidens heard
sweet whisperings of love in the How
of melody, while the doing mothers
were swayed into dreams OF happy
girlhood under the influence OF his
strains. But this was of no conse-
ouence to Father Michael; he played
mostly for neutrality-suspicious. OF his
hearts silent dreams.
They jeered and ridiculed him IN
the village. Every time he went into
Moser's, the tobacconist, he was
greeted by sarcastic:
"Why don't you marry, Father
Michael? Are you going to live
without leaving SO much as your
name after you9 What you impro-
wise on the organ amounts to nothing;
it dies away at once. No, it is a
great deal better to give the school
master a little trouble and present
some fine boys to the army"
Everybody in the store laughed at
this sally. Michael was just the right
one to give his country brave sold
iers! But he let the people laugh
and sought consolation in his beloved
organ.
The war was ended.
But after that time it was that Fa-
Their Michael felt his loneliness heav-
Ter and more dreary than ever. The
wounds of jeering words sunk deep
er, and he felt their cut with bleed
ing heart. There were moments
when even the music failed to bring
him peace. 1t seemed to him as if
the words of his neighbors were be-
coming more cruel and that there lay
more seriousness in their raillery.
Perhaps he was right. Misfortune
dwelt with them; there was bitterness
in many hearts. Perhaps now they
found certain satisfaction in giving
relief to their bitterness by torment
ing Old Hunchback-h who did
not weep with them, but only played
on his organ-the old good for moth
ing.
Yes, poor old Michael thought that
he himself was the most wretchedly
useless creature in existence.
Moser and the others were decided
ly right. During the anxious days
of the war the others had done every
thing they could. Fathers and sons
had seized their arms and gone forth
to battle; the women had cared tend

A. p. A. SCORED
BY Senator Hoar in a Letter to a Citzer
of Boston.

-
Worcester, Mass, Aug. Ex-senator
Hoar has written a letter on the A. p. A.
TO Thomas Evans of Boston, in response
to letter from the latter expressing sur
prise at the statements made by the sena-
tor in a speech that il the A. i. A, move
ment is an attempt to recall on one side,
the cruelties Of the Catholic church and to
brighten old women of both sects, and on
the other side to band the men of the
Catholic church together for political ac-
ton, both these attempts will fail.
Senator Hoar writes in part as follows:
There is no more Jealous believer in
the principles of New England Puritans
and ne more jealous advocate of
them than |. There is not a man in Mas
sachusetts who has more at heart the
welfare and perpetuity of our system of
free common schools than | have.
'The difference between you and me
is difference of method i want to get
the 100000 Catholics in Massachusetts on
our side. | want 10 send their children
to the public schools, to nay their share OF
the cost, and when their young men and
yeung women are suitable, are Intelligent
are liberal persons, attached to the schopI
system, l want some Of them to be en-.
ployed as teachers.
Il don't wish 20 exclude them from my
political support when they are Americans
and agree with me in Other matters be
cause Of their religious faith You want
to JOIN an association whose members arc
ashamed TO say they belong to it, You
want 10 mass together the whole Catholic
population of Massachusetts to the sup
port of their extreme and wrong-headed
priests, ID airy such can be found
81 think your method would overthrow
the common school system, would over
throw the Republican party and would
end by massing together all the Catholic
voters, as prescription always does mass
men together, to increase and strengthen
that political power which you profess
so much to dread. / think the time has
come to throw down the walls between
Christians and not TO bui.d new ones.
think the time has come to inculcate har-
mOny and good win between all American
citizens. especially bet ~een all citizens of
commonwealth. | want the whole 700.-
600 Catholics of this State to believe what
John Boyle O'Reiily believed and TO love
and reverence the Puritan founders of
Massachusetts as he did.
1.-The way to make good citizens and
good men and to attract them to Protes-
tantism is not to exclude them. their
sons and daughters, from all public en-
ployment, and go, yourself, into n dark
cell and curse at them through the grated
windows"
In conclusion Senator Hoar asks certain
questions concerning the A. Z. A., whether
it is a secret organization; whether it's
opponents have an opportunity to know its
purposes and be convinced by its argu-
ments; whether Italy and France are not
as free from temporal control by the
pope as Massachusetts,; whether General
Sheridan, if he were living, would be unfit
TO hold Office, and whether his daughter,
If she entertained her fathers religious
belief. would be unfit to teach in a public
school?

MIND READING.
A Wonderful Exhibition by Professor
HaYneS Inst A fternnon


Haynes Last Afternoon.
Last afternoon Prof. Charles Haynes
of Weatherford, the celebrated mind
reader, performed a most wonderful feat
in this city, and that under the most try
ing circumstances. His feat was simply
this: A committee of citizens wrote q
letter and addressed 1t to a well known
firm in this city, and then, after driving
in "a roundabout way to the poStoilice, THE
letter was placed in one of the boxes.
From there that committee drove to Mar
tins meat market and hid the postotfice
key and then returned to the First Ma
tional bank building i'm q roundabout
way, where Professor Haynes was await
ing their arrival. His business now was
to trace out on "a map the streets travelled
by the carriage with the committee in ii
and he was then to drive over the route
and locate the key and return to the post
office, get the letter out of the box and de-
liver it to the parties it was addressed to-
AS soon as the party reached the bank
building they were taken inside the lobby
and there Professor Haynes was securely
blindfolded by the committee so that he
could not possibly see. In this condition
by holding one of the committeeman
hands, he traced out ON the map the
streets taken by the committee he stopped
at the postoffice while tracing ON the mar
just at the point the committee got out
to put the letter in the box. He then pro
