VERMIN ON POULTRY.

Scarcely day passes but that from
one to six of our citizens call on me
and ask what is the matter with their
chickens, that they droop around
few days and die. Thinking that
many of your readers may be losing
their birds in the same way, I take this
method of informing all as to the
probable cause. Unless the quarters
are kept scrupulously clean, this warm
weather, they will soon swarm with
vermin-these poster the old fowls and
kill the young ones. Clean out the
poultry house often, sprinkle kerosene
oil on the roosts, using it literally, also
dust insect powder into the nests and
under the roosts, also dust the fowls,
prepare a place where they can dust
themselves and mix some insect pow
der into their dust bath. Dust to
poultry is what water is to humanity.
Treatment for small chicks: Dust
the mother with insect powder, also,
put a few drops of lard or sweet oil on
the head and neck of the hen, put one
drop on the head of each chick, (don't
grease their bodies as it means death
to them) then dust each chick with in
sect powder, give clean straw for them
to roost upon, sprinkle insect powder
freely, and 1 think that your readers
will find that all disease will disap-
pear. 1t does not pay to raise two
crops, small one of poultry and
big one of lice. If the chicks or poul-
try need II stimulant, below is the best
tonic known; it will tone up the
birds, redden their combs and should
be given especially during moulting
season and cold weather. Procure it
at any drugstore, its cost is trifiing:
"Dissolve one half pound of sulphate
of iron and one ounce sulphuric acid
in one gallon of water, to be given in
proportion of a teaspoonful to pint
of water" Hoping your readers may
make use of this recipe, ain yours
very truly. NJ. F. Stellwagen, in St.
Ignace News.

after his wife had delivered disserta-
ton upon the progress Of the sex, "the
new woman is vastly different from the

"Bnt there is none of that now,

woman proudly. "Woman has assert

"No, there's none of that now," in
terrupted the old man. "That's all

these days"
II should think not !''
"Certainly not. It's all changed, all

A GOOD DEAL OF INFERENCE.-The
other day citizen called at the stamp
window of the postoffice and laid two
pennies on the shelf. The clerk look
ed at him for 10 seconds and then
quired:
"Two ones?"
"No, of course! When man lays
down a two cents, he wants a two
cent stamp, of course"
"Not always"
"But that's the inference. After this
when you see two pennies down here
you can infer that two-cent stamp is
wanted.
Next day the same man called and
put down a $40 bill, and before he
could speak the clerk showed it back
to him with this remark:
"The government doesn't issue any,"
"Any what?"
"Any 1,OOO-cent stamps. Sorry 1
can't accommodate you"
"Who asked for l 1,000.cent stamp P"
"You did. Whenever a man lays
down $40 bill, the inference is that
he wants one of those stamps, but, as
I said, they are not issued"
The man picked up his bill and
walked out with red face, but five
minutes later returned and dropped q
cigar on the shelf and good naturedly
inquired
"And what do you infer from that ?"
Smoke-Shake !" replied the clerk,
and the two became friends.-Detroit

BOSTON BAKED BEANS.

Although Boston baked beans have
achieved national reputation and are
served on many tables all over the Un-
ion, it has often been remarked by con-
noisseurs that nowhere but in the Hub
itself can the genuine article be found.
The bean itself may be quite the
same, but the cooking somehow is not.
The dish hasn't the right taste, there
is something lacking, though what it
is is impossible for the disappointed
housekeeper to tell.
For the benefit of these I give the
following receipt, which I guarantee
will bring smiles of complete satisfac-
ton to the lips of Boston baked bean
loving husbands, sons, daughters and
guests, before whom the article is
placed.
Give heed to the minutest details, as
il is upon these seemingly unimportant
points rest the whole difference in the
results between the real Bostony flavor
of the beans when cooked and the
favorless imitation.
Take quart of small white beans,
and thoroughly washing them put
them in plenty of cold water to soak
over night. In the morning lift them
out of the water with strainer Chat
no drops may be Lefty and put them in
kettle of cold water over the fire to
parboil. Let them boil about 10 min
utes, but not long enough to burst open /;
then remove them from the boiling
water and put them into the bean pot
to be baked.
Before putting them into the oven
prepare pound of fat salt pork in the
following manner: Wash the pork
thoroughly and scrape the rind until
it looks white then take sharp knife
and cash the rind through to the meat
in fingerlike strips. Now sink the
pork in the center of the beans, so the
rind will be on level with the top Of
the beans, then put in half teaspoon
full of baking soda mot baking powder)
and 2 large tablespoonful of common
molasses. Cover the whole with cold
water and put in the oven to bake.
When the water cooks away, fill up
the pot with warm water, but when
the beans are done allow the water to
cook nearly away, so that the rind of
the pork may cook crisp and dry and
the beans brown on top.
When done, the beans should be
soft, but not cracked open.
Serve on platter, with the pork in
the center.

MILK FOR ALL ILLNEss.-If the
physician neglects to outline the diet
for the patient during each stage of an
illness, do not take upon yourself the
responsibility of prescribing any food
except milk. Milk is always safe; it
is wholly sufficient, and fills every
need of the system. Strict adherence
to an exclusively milk diet saves life
in many diseases. In scarlet fever it
is believed to prevent the serious kid
ney complications which occur in the
course of that prevalent ailment.

Humorous department.
A WARTIME REMINISCENCE.

When General Pope had his "head'
quarters" not in the saddle but at the
Warren Glenn hotel, in Warrenton,
Colonel H. w. Brown, a very strict
and stern officer, was made provost
marshal. He issued a notice to all
citizens to report if any soldier of the
Confederate army was on their preml'
es. No reports came in, and he sent
out a sergeant with squad. of men to
search the houses and to arrest all sus'
picious persons.
The squad came in after prolonged
search with five persons, males, whom
they thought ought to belong to the
Confederates if they did not since
they were able-bodied men.
Calling his clerk to take down all
answers, the colonel, with very stern
visage, proceeded to examine the cap
tives.
"What is your rame ?" he asked Of
the first.
"a. Fox, SIR"
"What do you do?'
"Nothing, sir, but keep as close to
nv hole as can these hard times"
"Umph! Stand aside. I'll make
futher inquiry about you. Next, what
is your name, sir?'
''Philip Bear, sir, and I've been all
in long time"
"Bear! Fox! singular names. Num-
ber three! What is your. name"
"Jack Rabbit, sir, if you please"
The eyes of Colonel Brown flashed
fire.
"Look here!" he she led, "you
can't come any menagerie game on me
You'll be on bread and water in the
capitol prison the first thing you know.
who is the next man? What is your
name?"
"Louis Lion, colonel, said a short,
thickset man, with foreign accent.
"By the gods of war! 1 suppose
your name is Tiger?" thundered the
colonel, addressing the fifth prisoner.
"No, sir !" sobbed the man, young
fellow, scared almost to death. '1'm
only Rob Coon, and it is my real
name-'deed it is! Please don't send
me to prison-I never shot off a gun
in my lifen'
The colonel softened. The scene
had become too ludicrous for serverity.
"Sergeant," said he, "discharge
these men, and if you can't bring in
any better specimens after this, let the
Warrentonians wisely alone. The
menagerie is dismissed" ,
The captives bowed low and backed
out.
The Bear, the Fox, the Rabbit, and
Coon still live to remember the colo
nel's leniency, and the Lion, keeping
the finest restaurant in Fauquier coun-
ty, will gladly give the brave colonel q
free game supper if he'll come down
to Warrenton to enjoy it.

WILL REMAIN IN ALEXANDRIA,
Rev. Theron IL. Rice, pastor of the
second Presbyterian Church, at yester-
day mornings services announced to
MS congregation his determination to
decline the call recently rendered him
90 the Chaplaincy of the University of
Virginia. The announcement was a
great relief. not only to the members OF
mis- church, but 10 the entire communi-
Nv, who would have regretted much
the severance of his relations with the
Second Church. Mr.. Rice last night
preached ali eloquent sermon to large
congregation. There will be preach
ing every night this week at quarter
TO eight o'clock, the pastor and men,
beers of the church believing there are
indications that Alexandria is about to
be blessed with revival season akin to
that Fredericksburg has recently ex-
perienced. A prayer service OF about
forty-five minutes duration will also be
held at twelve O'Clock each day of this
week. A cordial invitation is extend
ed to all. These meetings are design
ed for the edifcation of all believers
and for the awakening Of the careless
and Indifferent, and they will be con-
ducted in a pacific spirit. While the
plain gospel truth will be presented,
there will be nothing in the services
savoring of sensation or excitement.

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY
Miss Margaret Adams, sister of Mr..
James l.. Adams, died at her residence,
on lower Lee street, this morning. She
had been ministeriug to her brother
and sister, who were indisposed Satur-
day, and though she subsequently
complained of being unwell, her death
was in no wise expected, and its an
nouncement has produced sincere sor-
row wherever she was known. Miss
Margaret" the name by which she had
been addressed by the younger genera
tons which have known and justly APP
preciated her, had been an active
though unpretentious church worker
for over half century, and during all
those wears had given the greater por-
ton OF her time and talents toward the
training of the young in the Sunday
school, and numbers of men and wo-
men now among us will recall the FAC.
that it was she who first conducted
them within its walls. She was kind
aud sympathetic neighbor and was ever
on the alert to minister to the SORROW
ing. A consistent member of the NJ. n.
Church South. she died as she had
lived, a humble follower of the great
Teacher.

when the call was answered by q lady
she slammed the door to and ran back
