COMPLETELY PARALYZED

layman but it means q miracle to physi-

"Now, comes the part that has astounded

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The Old Fashioned Gobbler Gives Place
IA Medium-Sized Bird.

The Old Fashioned Gobbler Gives Place to
Medium-Sized Bird.
All commission merchants agree that
1t is the medium-sized turkeys that sell
the most readily and are the most
profitable. The birds should dress
eight, ten or twelve pounds, according
to the proportion of toms and hens,
they say, and should look plump and
clean. These birds are the first Sc
iecte6, and the others go off more
slowly. AT over fourteen pounds re-
duction in the price is demanded, while
birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are
almost unstable at greatly reduced
rates.
Of course there is some demand for
large turkeys for hotels and boarding
houses, but the private family will
have none of them, for two excellent
reasons: First, the oven in the average
city house is too small to accommodate
such a lordly bird, and, secondly, the
size of the family not being in proper
ton, its members would rebel at the
turkeys too frequent appearance at
meals. 1t would be well for the tur-
key raiser to keep both these points in
view and regulate the size of his birds
accordingly. He will save In feed and
get better returns for his flock. Tho
day of the enormous Gobbler is past

Observe that plenty of light is afford
ed, which will be found of great ad-
vantage, so do not spare windows in
such house, especially in the lower
portion.
The details of steps, roosts. nests,
etc, have been left out, in order to
convey the idea of an underneath run,
which will more than pay for itself in
the comfort of the hens and the in
creased number of eggs.
This house, says Farm and Fireside,
is designed by Mr.. Daniel Gibbons,

Florida has curiosity in the line OF
railways. Between Avon Park and
Haines City the country is level and
sandy. and here the road is laid. The
rails are wood, half imbedded in the
sand, and are held in position by
wooden pins, while the ends are con
nected with plank couplers. Not a
pound of metal is used, and most of the
rails have been donated. A steam
dummy furnishes power, and the cars
are of the most primitive type, but the
business over the route is already large
enough to pay a dividend.-Golden

n Student Who Wrote Sermons While
Asleep.
One of the most remarkable and puz-
xling stories OF somnambulism has re-
Gently come to light. The subject was
young ecclesiastic at seminary.
The bishop of the diocese was SO deeply
interested that he went nightly to the
young mans chamber. He saw him
get OUT of bed, secure paper, compose
and write sermons. On finishing page
he read it aloud. When a word dis
pleased him he wrote a correction with
great exactness. The bishop had seen
a beginning of some of these somnam-
bulistic sermons and thought them we'll
composed and correctly written. Curl
Gus to ascertain whether the young
man made use of his eyes, the bishop
put card under his chin to prevent
him seeing the paper, but he still con-
tinued to write.
Not yet satisfied whether or not he
could distinguish different objects
placed before him, the bishop took
away the piece of paper on which he
wrote and substituted several other
kinds at different times of various col
ors. He always perceived the change,
because the pieces of paper were of diff
ferent sizes. When piece exactly like
his own was substituted he used it, and
wrote his corrections on the places cor
responding to those of his own paper
TWAS by this means that portions Of
his nocturnal compositions were OBJ
tanned. His most astonishing produc-
ton was piece of music written with
great exactitude. He used cane for a
ruler. The clefs, the fats and the
sharps were all in their right places.
The notes were all made as circles, and
those requiring it were afterward
blackened with ink. The words were
all written below, but once they were
in such very large characters that they
did not come directly below their prop
er notes, and perceiving this, he erased
them all and wrote them over again.

GOOD THING TO HAVE,
<ouitry House for a Large Flock, with
Underneath Run.

Underneath Run.
The design is to show a house that
may be extended to 200 feet or more,
The fowls are given the upper story
for roosting, the lower portion being 6
scratching place.
The house should be 10 feet wide, 8
feet high for the lower story and 8
feet for the upper story.
The object is to permit of blowing
the ground floor of the lower story
with one-horse pillow, for an extended
building. The idea may be novel one,
but the plan will save much labor. OF
course, such house is more expensive
than some others, but it affords com
plete protection from storms in the
winter and gives shade IN summer, the
blowing turning the filth and drop
pings under.
Inclined steps leading to the upper
portion are not shown, but can be ar
ranged according to preference, as may

The sixth Inter ational Geographi-

July 25. The chief representative Of
the American Geographical Society
will be it's president, ex-Chief Jus
tice Charles P. Daily, of New York.
Judge DAILY served for forty years as
Judge of the common pleas court in
New York and recently retired from
the bench by reason Of the age limit.
He has not only attained eminence as
a jurist, but has also become pIomi-
nent in the line OF geographical
research. His fondness for geogra-
ply is doubtless due to early expert
ences, when, for a number of years,
he was a sailor.
