Lime for Poultry.

The Country Gentleman condemns
the advice which has been given by
some writer's laying claim to knowledge
on the subject, to soak grain in lime
before feeding it to poultry, in order
to furnish them with the mineral con-
%stituents that they need. The best
form in which to give chickens the
lime they need is in the form Of bone
ash. The waste bones of the household
may be burned in the kitchen stove
and then placed in an open vessel,
where the fowl will have access to it.
In this way a flock of fifty hens will
all waste of a gOOd-sized fam
lily. For large f1Ocks a contract should
be made with a local butcher. In this
form the lime is digestible and the
phosphoric acid In the bones will also
be valuable. 1t is very certain that no
~indigestible matter given to a hen can
help her in any way to make the shells
for her eggs, all the material OF which
must necessarily pass through the
blood before it a reach the Ovary.
1t Is a cOmmo experience among
poultrymen that rape and hemp seed
are useful to the laying hens and in
crease the number of eggs. Now both
these seeds are rich in lime, the ash Of
the former having ii per cent OF it and
that of the latter % per cent. And In
this regard it might be mentioned that
the seed of the esparcet, which is
eaten by fowls with great avidity, has
| more than a third Of its ash lime. Thus
the culture Of this plant, n Of the
laguminoseae, may be recommended
as very useful to poultry keepers. 1t
Is a common crop on the small French
farms, under it's common name, san
foin, and the fowls eat the whole plant,
which, like all it's family (the clover,
has a great quantity of lime in 1t.
Glover itself is thus useful to fowls as
a green crop on this account. This is
the only way in which lime a be
| given to fowls BEAUTIFULLY.

variety of material. The variety Of
material is not unusually great, but the
color is more varied than that of the
summer challieS.
The japanese women are said to have
the best taste as regards color and COM
binations Of any women in the world.
They exercise this taste to its fullest
extent, and a Japanese indoor cGs,ume
is composed of the colors of the rain
bow, arranged in the most gorgeous
priSmatic effects.
Soft colors are mostly used, md fine
pinks. creanlS pale blues and greens
and lemons are the principal tints.
Rarely are the heavy colOrs-brown,
black and the dark ~reds-used.
Brocades are in high favor, and the
Japanese wearers turn out some of the
most wonderful brocades in the world.
A Japanese woman does not have to
undergo the fortunes of dress fitting.
There are no long trips to the dress
maker. no waits while the garment Is
being pinned and cut and twisted.
The one national form of garment
has but one piece in it, and the JAPAN
csc woman merely winds it around her
self. There is Il little shaping around
the neck. and that is all.
The one-piece garmnet is about forty
inches wide. and when the Oriental
wearer winds herself in it there is q
certain knack of wrapping.
The right side of he piece is thrown
well across the bosom. The collar Will
then fall into place. and the left side
is Tapped over the right side. If this is
properly done it leaves the smallest
N-shaped opening at the neck. The
sleeves. which are mere Sits in the
dress and bags attached thereto, TALL
into the proper places.
Then comes the triumph of the Jap
anese coStume-the sash.
This is more glorious than a com,
binel sunset and rainbow. In 1t the
Japanese woman shows all her fond
ness for combinations of color. 1t Is
also an essential part of the costume
for the Japanese do not use pins, and
without the sash the single garment
would be in n precautions condition.
The sash is nearly as large as the
dress. 1t is generally twelve feet long
and one or two feet wide 1t is wrap
ped twice around the body and tied be
hind.
The sash is n mark of the rank of the
wearer. The lower classes tie it in n
small knot. and as the rank grows, thu

There are about 24O0 disorders Incl

MINING DIAMONDS.
A System by Which the Smallest
Gems Are Secured.

A System by Which the Smallest
Gems Are Secured.
The diamond is one of, the things
that the public is never tired of hear
ing about, and is ever anxious to see,
discuss, and, above all, to possess; but
few have any idea Of the tedious and
laborious process by which the precious
gem is mined and brought to the light
of day. All the entrances to the mines
are rightly guarded, and only the writ
ten permit of the manager will enable
h visitor to descend the huge shaft
which pierces the working level, say,
1000 feet below. In the tunnels of the
mine. which are about seven feet high,
the miners are hard at work drilling
holes in the adamant ground with a
large crowbar, which they use with
both hands. After making six holes
each, which may take three hours, or
six, or longer, according to the hard
ness OF the stratum they are working
in, they are allowed to retire to their
homes in the compound, and rest for
the remainder of the day. Dynamite
cartridges are placed in the drilled
holes and exploded, and the blue
ground which has been dislodged Is
shoyeled into trucks, each of which
holds a ton, run along the level and
AIKEN I'D the shaft. 1t is carried In
large Jumps as hard as granite to "the
%foors," where it is spread out and left
from three to six months to be pulyer-
lied by the action Of the sun, air and
rain, a steam harrow being run over it
from time to time to assist the process
of disintegration. In due time 1t is
taken to the washing machine, the
work of which is to sift out all the
light deposit, called 'tailings," in
which no diamonds are found, and to
clean the ground which is then
placed in a hopper and carried by the
revolving buckets to the top of, an
elevator, whence it is dropped into a
CYLINDRICAL pan As the pan Is rotated
the mass Is Clipped and sliced by iron
knives, the light mud overlooking the
center, and the heavy deposit contain
ing the diamonds passing into Il pulls
ating receiver, from which it is graded
into three different sized sleeves. Water
is then pumped through the bottom,
and the light deposit Is forced over the
top, the heavier substance falling
| through the sleeves. 1t is then passed
by means of valves into tubs, and the
important work Of searching for the
diamond commences. Four times do
the searchers examine every particle
of the material. and so carefully and
thoroughly is the work done that it is
said that a half carat diamond might
be mixed with a couple of hundred.

Judge Collins, of the Minnesota SUI
preme court. has decided that a wife
cannot collect damages from another
woman for alternating the affections of
her husband. The doctrine on which
this decision is based is that a wife is
not disgraced by her husbands sin, as
the husband is held TO be wholly guilty,
and the wife becomes an object of
sympathy; but if the wife is false to
her marital obligations, the husband
is disgraced In the eyes of his fellow
men, and hence may recover damages
from the seducer. How will this doc
trine suit the advanced woman?"

The scientific study of earthquakes,
which has been going on for about
forty years, has led to the conclusion
that the greatest number of earth
quakes are caused by the action of
water on soft strata lying beneath
harder formations of lock, resulting in
the sudden settling OF the surface.
Earthquakes in general occur near the
sea. and often originate under it. A
coast with a steep slope is especially
exposed to the danger, as was in
stanced by tie late disastrous earth
quake in Persia, on the southeastern
coast of the Caspian. The old theory
that earthquakes are due to the action

rior of the earth las been largely, dis
