Fair Winter Layers.

I have tried a number OF breeds,
among them the Leghorns, Black Span
ish, Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks. I
prefer the Plymouth Rocks before any
of the others I have tried. For winter
quarters 1 have a warm house with
double siding and the space between
packed with straw. I also have glass
windows in the houses. In winter time
I feed oats, corn and wheat, and in the
summer they get some of the growing
wheat and rye. I also keep them sup
piled with lime and sand. For eggs and
poultry we have a home market, and
the merchants in turn ship the product
to st. Louis and Chicago. have 80
hens, and in winter they produce about
one dozen eggs per day. We lose a few
fowls from lice, diseases and predatory
animals, but we use preventive medi-
cines and so prevent disease to great
extent. In raising broods we are fair
ly successful, when we give proper care,
and proper feed. We think we cure
roup by the use of meats and oils. The
best egg producers we ever had were
Langshans and Plymouth Rocks. We
consider poultry our savings bank, and
we draw on it for our money supplies.
Corn brings us into debt, as does also
wheat and horse raising.-Marcus w.

BREAKFAST CONVERSATION.
su Thing Exists In Literature, but Not
In Real Life.

su a Thing Exists In Literature, but Not
In Real Life.
A writer In the Buffalo Courier repre-
sents someone as asking this interest
ing question: did you ever know any
one who could converse brilliantly at
breakfast" The question is a good
one, says the Rochester Post-Express.
Why, indeed, should not conversation
be brilliant at the breakfast table, when
have all been slept over and to-day's
have yet to come? And were not the
genial "Autocrat, Professor and Poet"
speakers at a breakfast table, where
surely the conversation was nearly akin
to brilliancy? There are other books
that give, as early morning talk, con-
versations which their authors think
worth printing, and now and then in
the journal or the letters of great man
there is reference to breakfast-table
discussion. Yet, what one of us has
ever really come in contact with the
brilliant talk at a. m? The very
fish-balls and buckwheat cakes are
humble lowly, reassuring viands that
somehow do not inspire the eloquence
that comes with the pungent flavor of
the venison, the cool, self-confidence
suggested by the orange ice, the cpl
grammatic terseness of the after-dinner
coffee, the genial sunniness of the fruits
and the sweetness of the candies. Even
clothes make difference, for more or
less we always talk on the level of what
we wear-unconsciously, perhaps-and
it is one thing to eat with watch in
your hand and the work before you,
and another with the watch in your
pocket and the work accomplished
which is the difference to most men be-
tween their breakfast and late dinner.
We are reminded, to be sure, that
there are social functions known as
breakfasts" and the talk must be
somewhat interesting and clever or
they would have long ago died out.
But these breakfasts" take place at
noon, and the buckwheat cakes and
fish-balls have been privately and in
dividually served to the guests some
hours before, and so these are break
fastS in name only. There is, too, an
other evidence that the animal nature
has the better of the spirit usually at
the breakfast hour in the circumstance
that the French, who could not bear to
be conversationally dull at meal, take
the first one Of the day in bed! How
very clever they are, and what repu-
tation for unfailing geniality, quickness
and fascination this one custom perhaps
has given to them! We believe that
the most glowing description of a brill
liant talker would be that he Tor she)
was so at the breakfast table.

ON THE WRONG SIDE.

One woman's Search for Her Ancestors
Resulted in Disappointment.
She had been invited to be present
at the reception Of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, says an ex-
change, and her heart glowed with pa
triotism as she beheld the American
flags, shields, coats-of-arms and stream
ers with which the room was decorated.
The speeches added to her exaltation
and she felt the blood of fighting sires
running like fire through her veins.
The woman in the stunning chinchilla
cape and blue velvet gown, who really
didn't 'look as though she had ever
had any ancestors" had discovered
friend in the dowdy woman in gray,
and the outsider heard her say: ooh,
yes; belong. My children can trace
their ancestry back through five lines
to the Norman conquest" A little gasp
from the recipient of this information
broke the awestruck pause, and then,
regainig her breath, the dowdy wom-
an, with her nose tip tilted, said:
"They are fortunate, indeed. We are
proud OF our two lineal tracings to the
days of King Arthur, but only claim our
ancestry back to the revolution, since
We live in republican country"
The spirit of envy devoured the
woman who was not Daughter. The
very next day she put into effect her
resolution to find out the names of her
revolutionary ancestors, for she was
assured she must have had them. For
three days she searched records and
the fourth day she searched again and
ran them to earth" James Brown,
who married Maria, daughter of Jonas
and Ellen Smith," dated back to 1869
for the time of his marriage and she
sighed great sigh of relief. But-alas
for ambition-he fought on the tory
side!

Success.

It is always hard to get up In the
world. When you see man who Is
really and truly up in the world, you
see man who has worked his way up.
There is neither man nor woman at the
top in any department. who did not
have to climb there with blistered
hands and bleeding feet The leading
merchants, the leading insurance man,
the leading physicians, lawyers, educa-
tors, all climbed patiently to eminence.
Plants get up, trees get up, men and
women get up, all in one way-by
climbing up.-Rev. w. H. Fishburn.

Story of "The Angelps."

Millet's brother Pierre, who is now
in this country, has given a Boston re-
porter the interesting information that
the celebrated painting, "The Angelus,"
which is now valued at one hundred
thousand dollars was originally offered
to Boston merchant and art lover for
three hundred and sixty dollars.
Through some miscarriage Of the nego-
tiations the offer was not accepted, and
the painting was sold to Belgian col
lector for six hundred dollars. Pierre
Millet has an excellent reputation as a
sculptor, and was for some years resi-
dent Of Boston. He was the artists
model for 1.-THE Angelus."

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects
his health and the means of preserving and
restoring 1t. Many persons who are not
constitutional idiots do this. They are
genuine objects of compassion as well as
censure. A failure of appetite, loss of sleep
and flesh, impaired digestion, an uncertain
state of the bowels and symptoms of bill
iousness are so many warnings OF the APP
prOach of disease. To disregard them Is
abject folly, which offended nature in due
time Furnishes severely, If not fatally. That
genial and thoroughly reliable preventive OF
bodily mischief In the shape of chronic dis
ease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will, II

ton, liver complaint,l kidney troubles, con.

valuable results in the laboratory

which is now so much talked
of. Professor Crookes was born in Lon
don GA years ago, and in his boyhood
became interested in photography. He
took course In the Royal College of
Chemistry under DR.. Hoffman, and
soon became assistant to his tutor. At
% he was appointed superintendent of
the Radcliffe Observatory at Oxford.
In 1859 he founded the Chemical News,
and in 1864 became the editor Of the
Quarterly Journal of Science Profess
sor Crookes was born with love for
original search. He discovered the new
metal thallium while examining the
residues from sulphuric acid works.
He was then made a fellow of the
Royal Society. In 1872 he developed
many interesting matters in his inves-
legations on "repulsion resulting from
radiation. In 1877 he invented the
otheoscope. In a paper that year be-
fore the Royal Society he said he had
succeeded in obtaining vacuum so
nearly approaching perfection that the
pressure in it was only 0.4 millionth
of an atmosphere. 1t was found that
in such an extreme vacuum gases pass
into an ultragaseous state, which Pro-
fesor Crookes described as radiant
matter" 1t was these vacua that made
possible the incandescent lamp. He
has written a small library, every book
of which is of value to experimental
and commercial science. His name
came before the general public in the
'70s, when he undertook an investiga-
ton of the physical phenomena of
spiritualism. His book on the results
Of those experiments, with the media of
John King" and Katy King" was
widely read on it's publication. But
while the scientific world placed the
highest value on his experiments in
other lines, it paid no attention to the
results he obtained in his work on the
occult side of nature. Professor
