Feeding Broilers.

Corn alone will not make good
chicken-it is most valuable for its fat
tening and warming qualities. Wheat
contains the material for bone, feathers,
ETC., oats for muscle. So we feed corn
two parts, wheat one part, oats one
part, and we have fast growing chick
en-. Feed either of these grains alone
and we have all kinds of monstrosities
weak legged, sore eyed, no feathers
and every conceivable deformity. Add
to these grains quantity of meat to
take the place of insects, which form
part of their natural food. See that they
have plenty Of sand or gravel. They
have no teeth and must have this gravel
to grind the feed in the gizzard. Give
oyster or clam shell ground Or pounded
as fine as wheat. Keep by them also
powdered chafcoal-it prevents the di-
gestive organs from becoming clogged
with sopred food if they have eaten too
much. If all these things are provided

Aluminium In Lithography.

The stone which American lithog-
raphers have to import from Germany
bids fair to be superseded before long by
aluminium. The only American stone
thus far known that would answer at
all is in Arkansas, and that is not good,
Aluminium is little cheaper than the
imported stone, and it is now of great
interest among our photographic art peo-
pie that the metal is being successfully
used as substitute, with results that
are improving more and more as it's use
becomes familiar. 1t is easily etched by
acids and a set of plates can be very
quickly prepared in this way for any
design that may be desired. AS far as
the use Of these plates has gone, how
ever, the highest grade Of work is still
done Oh the German stone by the old
engraving process. Our, best American
Autographs are ten color work. Some.
times it runs as high as ID and ID, but
that is the highest The French and
German claim to use % colors and
shades on their finest work, but nobody
has ever been able to count them ont.
American ten color work is now fully
and easily up to the European standard,
and we are therefore independent in
that respect. Importations are becoming
less and less every year and are now, in
fact, narrowed down to Christmas and
Easter cards and such things, which
continue to come over on their reputa-
ton rather than upon superiority of
quality. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Grave of John Paul Jones,

Daniel W. Rowland Of Boston wrote
letter to the navy department. asking
information as to the whereabouts of
the grave of John Paul Jones. Mr. How
land was informed that the famous old
sea fighter was probably buried in the
Protestant graveyard of Paris, back of
the Hotel Dieu; that in 1851 the United
States ship st. Lawrence was ordered
to southampton to bring his body to
this country for interment, and that it
was then ascertained that the ancient
graveyard had been sold and devoted to
other uses. Whether the bones were
dumped in pit or disposed of in the
cataoombs Of Paris the navy depart
ment does not know.

Wedding comes from an old word,
''wad," or wed, a pledge Or token,
still used in Scotland to denote bail OF
surety. An early English author, one
Robert Brunne, writes of laying his
glove to "wed." Also Godfrey Chaucer
says "Let him beware his nekke lieth
to wedde." Furthermore, the poet
Cover enlightens us on the use of the
word ''wedde'' as follows:
But first, 'er thou be spedde,
Thou shalt have such wedde
That will have troth on honde
That thou shalt be myn husbande.
Anglo-Saxon custom ordained that,
when the betrothal of young people took
place, the youth gave the maiden GER
tain "weds, one of which was ring.
1t was put on the right hand then, be-
ing subsequently removed to the left on
marriage. This is apparently the origin
of our modern engagement ring.
The giving of money is assigned to
the time of Clovis, who, when married
to Princess Clothilde, gave her ''sou'
and a "denir. - Since then, these have
become legal marriage offerings even to
this day in France. Of course, the value
of the coins depends on the status of the
contracting parties. Formerly, a like
custom existed in England The bride
or her attendant carried bag, often
handsomely embroidered, to receive the
gift for the bride. This receptacle was
called a "dow (from 'dower') purse, !"
and this custom long fingered in coun-
try parts. Evidently from it originated
the bridal gift OF parents or bridegroom
called a dowry. -Chambers' Journal.

Ferns.

If sou are going to attempt to grow
ferns in the garden select shady place
for them. If you cannot give them such
place do not try to grow them. In the
second place, if the soil of your garden
is loan dig out at least foot of it, and
fill in with soil similar to that in which
the ferns are growing which you propose
to plant in it. Then select a cloudy,
damp day for bringing home and plant
ing your ferns. 1t is good plan to take
some one with you to help carry your
plants, for they should be taken up with
good deal of soil about their roots, and
this will make them heavy Do not
choose large plants. You are not TO ex-
pect immediate results of a highly orna-
mental character. You are to plant, and
trust the future for that. Small plants
are not only much more likely to live
than large ones, but they will really be
more satisfactory from the start than
large ones would be if they could be
made to live. because they will not lose
their foliage if care is taken in lifting
and planting them and caring for them
after that, and this foliage, though
small, will have a& tine charm that
characterlzes the fern, and you willssen-
joy it because of its beauty, and of the
promise you see in it Of greater things
by-and-by. But with large plants you
will have nothing but dead leaves and
disap pointment. Water your plants when
you set them out. Keep them mulched
with grass-clippings from the lawn if
the season is warm aud dry one. In
this way only can you establish good
fern bed in your garden. You may not
attain highly satisfac tory results the
first season, but you will have laid 4
good foundation.-Ebe E. Rexford in
