10000 Lost Children.

Francis George, the Liverpool bell.
man, is to retire from the service OF
the city, after public career extend
ing over period OF sixty years. He
was originally member of the old
dock police force. 1t is said that at
one time the office OF bellman was
worth to the person who held it about
$2500 per annum. In addition to max
ing public proclamations, it was part
of the bellmau's duty on all civic oc
casions to walk before the Mayor of
Liverpool, with a portion of the re-
gala. 1t was Mr.. Georges distinction
in that capacit during his long period
cf Office to walk before fifty-three
Mayors. In these later days the Of
flee of bellman has become practically
a sinecure. The duties which he had
to discharge have become obsolete, and
other means of announcement have
superseded that of the belimaD. Up
to the present, however, to the bell
mans house in Greek street are taken
lost and strayed children who may be
found wandering about unoared for in
the streets of Liverpool. During his
long tenure OF office, Mr.. George has
received from police officers at the bell
mans house the custody of no fewer
than 130, 900 stray children. whom he
restored to their parents. Latterly
this was the old bellman's chief emo
lnment, each parent paying twelve
cents for the recovery OF the lost chill
dfen, and 1925 year was granted to
Mr.. George from the corporation. =

"The Pleasure of Killing"

Captain G. A. w. Donovan, who has
recently made hunting trip through
Matabeleland, Africa, bas written q
book describing his experiences. He
betrays in the most delightfully."- naive
way that delight in slaughter for
slaughter's own sake which is char
acteristic OF many nominally civilized
hnntsmen. Here is fine illustration
of this popularity:
"While crossing Springbok Flats,
we had u great hunt after troop of
the nimble little bucks which give the
district its name. 1t was pretty sight
to see them galloping along and max
ing the marvellous springs into the air
from which their name is derived. To
watch them thus was to me-to whom
everything was new-almost as inter-
esting as to shoot them. should have
enjoyed another day after them, as
the open country in which they delight
makes it possible to watch every turn,
twist and jump of the herd. And, af.
ter all, seeing new animals in their
natural condition is almost equal to
the pleasure of killing them"

HOW TO RAISE YOUNG CHICKS.


When the chicks are all hatched
leave them under the hen undisturbed
for one day. They are tender and
delicate and need the vitalizing heat
of the mother. Let them remain with
out food until the second day. When
the hen is taken from the nest dust
ber thoroughly with fresh insect pow
der. Grease her legs lightly with
melted lard and apply two or three
drops to the back of her neck. Do not
put any under her wings, as the chicks
ara apt to get it into their eyes, caus-
ing blindness. Lice pass from the
hen to the chicks, 30 if there is one
louise on the hen it is one too many.
The first four or five days feed stale
bread or cracker crumbs moistened
with sweet milk. Do not make it too
sloppy. The principal food should be
bread made of equal parts fine oat-
meal, bran, shorts and corn meal. Add
enough soda and salt to season, and
three teaspOonfuls of ground bone.
Mix with sweet milk and bake in the
oven. Crumble the inside of the bread
and feed it dry. Take the crust and
moisten with a raw egg until the whole
is stiff dough. Young chicks will
keep healthy and grow fast on this
food. Egg is the natural food for
young fowls and should be given once
or twice day. Raw egg will prevent
bowel trouble, while too much hard
boiled egg will produce it.
Feed regularly every two hours un-
til the chicks are u week old, then
four times day will do. Give them
all they will eat up clean but do not
leave any in the trough to sour. As
soon as chicks require food they re-
quire water. Milk may be given, but
it should be sweet. If the weather is
cold have the water tepid. Construct
the drinking dishes SO that the chicken
can drink without getting wet. Never
feed raw corn meal to chicks. Bran is
better than corn meal, rs it contains
more mineral matter and is one of the
best bone-forming foods that can be
given to growing fowls; but it should
always be scalded. As they grow
oIuer leeu gram, eltner WnOle or
cracked. Table scraps and garden
green's may also be given. Keep pull
verized charcoal and fine gravel within
their reach all the time. The young
chicks must be kept warm and dry un-
til they are six weeks old; single
nights exposure may bring on bowel
disease. When this appears it is gen.
orally attributed to the food, but the
real cause is cold.
Do not keep the hen confined in a
coop unless it is large one, and then
only in bad, wet weather. 1t is almost
impossible to keep confined hen free
from lice. If she has her liberty she
will dust da ly and rid herself OF the
pests, and the little chicks will learn
at an early age to wallow in the dust.
Let them roam over the garden and
fields and they will gather large part
of their food, and benefit the farm
and garden by ridding them of in
scots. American Agriculturist.

to join and attend regularly the in
teresting meetings of such societies as
this Those who make q success in
fruit growing do SO by intelligent in
dustry. II has been said ''if man
would know anything he must think !;
ii he would have anything he must
work" Now if he will do either, all
things are so arranged that he may re-
ceive rich rewards.
From the earliest times men have
turned to the soil for their support.
The products were few because their
wants were few. In process of time
agriculture was divided into depart
ments. The man who cultivated field
crops on q large scale was called a
husbandman or agriculturist. Others
that cultivated fruits, roots and vege-
tables were called horticulturists, and
one branch of the latter is my subject.
Fruit is the poor mans friend,
the rich mans luxury, the laborer's
physician, and the foe to
quack doctors. There is no more
royal road to health than that lined
by trees of ripened fruit. The growth
of trees, whether in the forest, or in
the orchard, takes from the soil the
necessary nutriment both for the for
nation of wood and the development
of fruit. To secure the most satisfac-
tory development of fruit requires
health ane vigor of wood. But the
growth of trees in soil continually
cropped in soil exhaustion, and if con-
tinued for term of years with no re-
storation of fertilizing material, the
conditions become unfavorable to any
healthy growth of wood fibre. It is
under such conditions as these that
fruit rapidly deteriorates or fails of
production.
The orchard set in young trees
should be cultivated annually and
some fertilizing material applied for
the benefit of the trees as we'll as the
vegetables or small fruit raised, until
the trees come into bearing; then the
cultivation should cease for time.
Fruit trees require care and nutri-
ment, and without these the results
are not satisfactory. Healthfulness is
indicated by a vigorous growth and
folinge of dark green, and when these
conditions exist the fruit will be found
smooth and of good size. Orchards
may be fertilized by spreading ma
nure over the surface of the ground,
especially that portion of it through
which the roots of the trees extend.
Potash is a valuable fertilizer for all
kinds of fruit and can be applied in
the form of unleached wood ashes, and
being largely soluble are easily con-
veyed to the roots and Immediately
appropriated to profitable use.
We would lay down these rules in
commencing Select situation best
adapted for the purpose, taking every
thing into consideration. If not we'll
drained see that it is. Scatter we'll
composted manure over the ground,
plow deep. and then if you can get
them scatter wood ashes over the
ground and work them we'll into the
soil with harrow. And depend upon
it there is no amount of pains which
you can take in this respect that will
not amply repay you in the end. We
look upon it as of the utmost import
ance to the future welfare of the tree
that it should have good start in the
and make an early and
rapid growth; this will enable it to
resist the attacks Of disease and in
sects the better.

"Fatler of American Matchmaking. y

The late Aaron Dennison, who has
been styled "the father of American
Matchmaking, was man of an un-
usually sweet spirit. He was inter ,
ested in his work not merely for its
own sake. but for the benefits result
ing to his fellow-man. Often he
worked late into the night, SO late that
his loving wife would go and beg
him to ''wait until tomorrow. One
night she said to him: care you not
going to bed at all? What are you
doing?" And he turned and slowly
answered: 81 am trying to make it
possible for every poor man to have

accomplished. New York Independ-

New Tanuic Acid Roots.

1t is stated that certain parties in
California have commenced the culti-
walton OF yellow dock, as the roots
contain thirty-two per cent. of tan
mic acid. This is supposed to take the
place of oak bark for tanning pur-
poses. But why cultivate this weed,

there are thousands of acres of man

Crime in san Francisco.

Coroner Hawkins, of San Francisco, has
had more iAquests over suicides since
January 1 than were ever held in San
Francisco during an equal period Since
he took charge of the office, seven and a
half months ago, 81 suicides have come to
his notice, being nearly as many as oc-

were but liz suicides in 1898 and but
l25 in 1894, but If the same rate continues
to the end of the year Coroner Hawkins
records will show nearly 10 suicides for
the year.
