The Loss OF Young Chicks.

Young chicks seem TO die off rapidly
at times, and with no apparent cause;
but there Is a cause, and it can be usual
ly trace! to the food. They are pets,
and are usually attended to by various
members of the family, the disposition
being TO give them as much food as
they can consume, and as frequently az
possible, resulting in the waste of
portion, which soon begins to ferment.
Now, it is this fermeDted food which
destroys SO many young chicks. 1t
would be to their advantage to alow
them to seek as much of their food as
possible, feeding only small quantity
al time; and it will be found, Upon
trial of such plan, that they will thrive
better than when fed too frequently

In the main she was right. That very

that all the delaying, all the coquetting

lover from speaking before his short
vacation was over and he went back to
the city; and meanwhile there was the
sweetness of an understanding no less
strong because it was yet unspoken.

1t was Thanksgiving day. The fam

Wilcox homestead this year, for Mrs.
Deane and Mrs. Wilcox were sisters,
and alternated the festival. Mr.. Deane,
this time, however, was ill in bed. and
his wife stayed to nurse him. Sue came
over with the Alcotts. who were cousins
and lived mile or so beyond the Deane
farm. The day had been eminently sue

Three years ago a Portland man lost
his poclzetbook, containing $500. The
last he could remember of it was lay
ing it upon his bed. Last Sunday he
read in a newspaper the notice of the
death of an old friend, and this set
him to thinking of his school days.
From these remembrances came a de-
sire to look over an old chest contain
inc souvenirs, and in which he thought
there was a picture of his former
chum. He went to the chest, lifted the
cover, and the first thing that met his
gaze was the pocketbook with the mon
ey intact. And now he is pulling his
brains to remember how it came there.

A Christian woman in Illinois recently
followed a drinker, in whom she was
deeply interested, into a saloon. Just as
he was about to take glass she tapped
him gently on the shoulder and requested
him to go with her. He complied, and as
they marched toward the door the sa-
loonkeeper recovered sufficiently from his
amazement to calculate: "That beats the
DEVIL" The lady turned and emphatically
retorted: Yes sir; it was my intention
to beat the devil" If it is the intention of
the church to beat the devil, his Gibral-
tar of intemperance must not be ignored.

Republican Criticism of Taxed
Hides.

According to the protective theory,
the imposition of tax on nOn-cOmpet-
ing articles adds to their cost to the
consumer This theory will be aptly
exemplified in the proposed duties on
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. 1t is
estimated that the increased cost of
boots and shoes for one year under the
proposed duty would amount to $2O,-
O0O,OOO With free hides, our manu-
facturers of leather goods have been
able to build UP a great export trade in
footwear. AS Mr. Blaine said, when it
was proposed to put duty on hides in
the law of 1890: ut will yield profit
to the butcher only-the last man that
needs it." The interests of the tanners
and shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of butch
ers and Western Chicago

A Duel.

The count of Turin, of Italy, and
Prince Henri Of Orleans, Of France.
fought duel with swords at O'Clock
Sunday morning The battle was a
fierce one and lasted twenty-six min
utes. Prince Henri received two SER
ious wounds in the right shoulder anc
the right side Of the abdomen. The
count Of Turin was wounded in the
right hand.
The cause of the duel was letters
written on the Italian army by the
Frenchman in his travels and pub
lished in The Figaro, a newspaper.
The Italian wanted Henri to retract
some statements made and he would
not. Now that Henri is severely
stabbed with a sword we suppose
chivalry considers the count OF Italy
in the right.
