An Interesting Narrative Related by an Old
Time Seal Hunter.
[Translated.l
The following has been sent us for nser-
ton, and we gladly give it space in this
weeks issue Of our paper:
"Clarissa, Mimi am native Of Nor
way, where / was from my youth up an
enthusiastic hunter of the seal. When in
my twenty-second year it happened on one
Of my expeditions that / was overtaken by
darkness and binding snowstorm, which
made it impossible for me to reach home,
and l was obliged TO spend the night on a
little island, subjected to the most terrible
exposure. 1t was intensely cold my clothes
were wet through, and as result con-
tracted a terrible cold, which settled in my
system. Four days alterward | looked al
most like leper; my body became covered
with brown spots or eruptions, which ex-
creted peculiar yellowish fluid. In con-
nection with the eruption l suffered with
dreadful itching, and at times my skin would
smart and burn.
The first doctor I consulted was DR.. Leh-
man, in Bergen, Norway, under whose care /
improved little, but he failed to eradicate
the disease from my body. Since that time
| have sought as many as twenty-five physi-
Clans III ulU6Fcut COUNTRIES, SOiuc Vi WuOm
were specialists, and / sought various eli
mates, thinking possibly it would benefit
me, but all to no purpose. l cannot emu
merate the many names which these doctors
gave my disease. 1t was seldom that their
diagnosis cOrresponded.
Two years ago | commenced to use DR..
PETERS BLOOD VITALIZEE without enter
tanning much hope Of being cured, but it has,
nevertheless, accomplished it. l am now So
years old, and / have not seen the least indi-
cation of return of that peculiar and annoy
ing ailment. This / desire to testify to.
Most of my family and all who have known
me are familiar with the facts of my case,
and can but say in conclusion that | har-
hor the most heartfelt gratitude to the manu-
facturer of this remedy.-Arne 0. Woge."

They are considered by some to be the
quickest-growing chicks from the shell up to
is weeks of any breed. Growing q very
short feather, the nourishment required by
other breeds to grow a long and entirely
superhuous feather in them is utilized in
growing meat, and makes them the best
broiler chicks yet discovered. COckerels viii
easily weigh two pounds at seven to seven
and a half weeks of age, and at IL weeks
will 90 three to four pounds each. As chicks
they are very plump and solid, and command
the highest market price as broilers. Their
growth is very rapid up to about 20 weeks,
when a good specimen should weigh, for
cockerel, six and half to seven pounds. A
fowl that can make such rapid growth and
take on flesh so rapidly must furnish meat
of delicious flavor; it cannot well be other
wise. As a meat bird they surely excel all
other varieties.
Nourishing Food.
When little chicks (abcut two weeks or
more old) are feathering they need very
nourishing food or they will droop. as the
growth of feathers enfeebles them. That is
the reason so many chicks die at two or three
weeks of age instead of younger. Keep
them warm, especially at night, and feed meat
and ground bone, with varied food, about
four times q day. DampnesS must Do
guarded against, as it viii prove fatal to the
chicks.
Pin Feathers.
The medium-sized turkeys that are in
good condition bring the best price.
Feed the fowls the same as you feed the
stock on the farm-systematically aud regu-
larly.
A sudden change of food from one thing
to another will often cause the hens to cease
laying.
Keep down expenses in the poultry busi-
ness; this is one of the essentialsIfor the sue

On most farms q flock of turkeys could be
kept with profit. In Summer they will for

fattening up for market. But few need be
wintered, just enough to lay eggs for next
years Matching. Turkeys always bring
good price, and are ready sale from Thanks

ROUEN DRAKE.

The bill of the duck is not quite so large
as that of the drake and is of an orange
color, nearly black two-thirds down from
the head. The color changes during the
laying season to q dirty-brown, and some
times it becomes nearly black all over The
head is brown, with two distinet-lined
shades running down, one each side, from the
eye to the darker part of the neck. The
breast is brown, penciled over with dark
brown, almost black The wing has a rib
bon-mark as in the drake, and the legs are,
like his, orange, but generally of duller
tinge. The Rouen is an excellent layer,
and the most profitable breeder for the
farmer.
The Indian Game.
The Indian Game has many fine qualities
to commend it to the breeder. Perhaps the
most important section of the bird is the
breast, which is very wide, round, and
prominent. The best comparison that can
be made would be with large, fat duck.
The meat is very solid, yet sweet and juicy,
and of the finest quality. It is the breast
that gives the fowl its great weight, and it
is the width and fullness of the breast that
causes the bird to carry its wings so far
out and up, and its fullness all along the
keel bone causes the bird to stand with legs
well apart. The breast should never be
straight or curved in, but always oval and
full in contour.

We may date at about A. d. 49, Christ has
been dead about 80 years. The Church has
struggled on, not growing rapidly, but yet not
decreasing nor becoming demoralzed. Most
work had been done for Jews. Some advances
had been made toward Gentiles; as, G.. in the
case of Cornelius. The Gospel had spread some
what in Samaria and considerably in Syria.
The time had come for more pronounced effort
at large. We see this turning point well illus
trated in our lesson.

CLIFTON, N. Y, Sept. 24-Engineer
Thomas Feeney was badly hurt, and
four cars OF the Staten Island Rapid

cars behind It. There were two cars on
a siding which We're needed. and Fee
ney with his engine and three cars.
started to get them. This made two
cars before the engine and three after
it,
Then Feeney started along the track
until he reached Bachman's trestle.
There was no fireman in the cab with
Feeney, because he was switching.
When Engineer Feeney reached the
trestle, near where the switches began.
he noticed that there was something the
matter with his locomotive.
Feeney got out to examine the differ
ent rods Of the engine. and just as he
was about to get back into the cab he
was startled to see the engine puff and
start as If some one was at the throt-
tie.
Although he had closed the throttle
tightly he knew II had been opened
In some mysterious manner.
Feeney ran along the trestle. endeav-
oring TO get into the locomotive and fell
from the trestle to the ground, a dis
tance of about Is feet
Although bruised and injured he
climbed up the side Of an embankment
to the railroad tracks and continued
after the train, which was on its mad
run.
When Feeney saw that he could not
overtake the train, he ran back to Cliff
ton to report the matter.
AS he reached Clifton the engineer
fell unconscious from the result of the
Injuries he received by going through
the trestle.
The train continued on. having a
clear course and nothing in front OF IT,
TO South Beach, the end Of the Staten
Island company's line. There It stop
ped with a crash.
There was one car on the track at
South Beach, and the two IN front OF
the locomotive went against that car
with terrific force.
The car was broken up, and the two
cars in front of the locomotive were
telescoped. Two of the cars following the
engine were thrown from the track into
a ditch beside the track. Their trucks
were the most damaged. The third car
and the locomotive were not much
hurt
News OF the accident reached the Of
ficials, and a wreckng train was sent
to South Beach. The crew discovered
that the bumpers at the railroad depot
as we'll as part of the platform had
been badly damaged.
Engineer Feeney is at his home in q
serious condition. and the shock he ex-
perienced from the fall and the unlook-
| ed for start of his engine may keep him
indoors for some time.
