OBITUARY..

a Potsdam, y. Y, despatch to the SYRIA
cuse Herald says: f. d. Brooks died at
his home on Saturday night after a brief
Illness with pneumonia. He had been a
prominent figure in st. Lawrence county
history and was almost the last of the
men who helped build up the town of
Potsdam.
Mr.. Brooks was born at ShOreham, VT,
on March 6, 1878, and was educated at
hiddlebury college. In 1928 he moved to
Potsdam and engaged in the dry goods
business, which he continued until 1891.
He was very successful as business man
and amassed considerable fortune. He
was member of Assembly from the Third
district of st. Lawrence county for three
years and supervisor of the town of Par
ishville from 1913 to 1851.
In 1862 he was appointed by President
Lincoln collector of internal revenue for
the Nineteenth district, which position he
held for thirteen years. He was super
visor of the town of Potsdam for eight
years, part of that time being chairman
of the board. He had been trustee of
the village and was a member of the
building committee of the Potsdam State
Normal school.
Mr.. Brooks was married in 1871 with
Miss Permelia Sanford of IIopkinton
and six children have been born to them,
only one surviving, Mrs. w. A. Landers,
widow of Potsdam. On December Is,
1893, Mr.. Brooks fell on an icy sidewalks
and one of his hips was broken. 1t left
him cripple.

Sick-poison is a poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undlgested
food.
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. Thst's the way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick-poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delicious,
healthful, tonic cordial, made of pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine.
1t positively cures Indigestion and pre-
vents the formation of sick-pOison.

pack solidly in half-gallsn Jars. When
the Jars are purchased, have number as
well as weight marked upon each so
that a record Of the number of pounds
each package contains can be readily
Kept. Pack the Jars ever full, tie over
each a thick cloth and put them IN
large Jars, such as are sold for picking
meat. Keep them covered at least W
inches in depth with brine. The first
cost of these jars in considerable, but
they are easily kept sweet and with
good care will last almost a life time.
10 cleanse them use a hot lime water
bath or one of strong soda water. Make
the brine as strong as possible, using all
the salt the water will hoA in solu-
ton. To each gallon add a beaping
teaspoonful of pulverized saltpetre, and
a %teacupful of g%ranulated sugar. Scald,
skim thoroughly, and when perfectly
cold, strain through a thick wet cloth
into the crock. Several different for
mulas for brine have from time to time
been tried, and the one given is now
used with perfect satisfaction. Tie a
thick cloth over the crock, and over
this place a cover of wood to exclude
the light. Do not set the crock on the
cellar bottom whether it be of earth
or cement, but upon a raised platform
with Stats underneath the crock to give
a free circulation of air. The outside
of the jars should often be rubbed Wig
orously with a dry cloth to remove
every vestige of mold, which is so
likely to form in the damp atmosphere
of a cellar. Be especially careful to
keep the bottom of the jar clean and
free from mold germs. There is u.s.
ually a time in August and September
before the early fall rains start the
pastures that there is a brisk local de-
mand. Butter packed in the n
recommended meets with a ready sale
and commands a better price than ear
lier in the season.

The reports of experiments by Mad
anne Dieudonne upon the effect of cold
upon the incubation of eggs, published
by the French Minister of Agriculture,
is reported at considerable length. 1t
was found that fowls hatch larger and
stronger during the months of Feb
ruary, March and April than during
warm months of June, July and Aug
ust. 1t was also found that eggs from
hens which were at liberty, Matched
better thar those which were confined.
In test made with the incubator it was
found that eggs which were repeatedly
warmed and cooled Matched much bet
ter than those which were kept at a
warm temperature all the time. In
one experiment the eggs were cooled
by exposing them to the air for one
and one-half hours daily during the
whole period of incubation. This
treatment retarded the period of incu-
baton three days. The eggs became
quite cold and it required about twelve
hours to bring them up to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, the temperature of incu-
baton. In this experiment thirteen out
of sixteen eggs Matched strong, vigor-
chickens. The incubator had pre-
viously been used with unsatisfactory
results. From the second experiment
it was inferred that the gradual heating
of the eggs was as essential as the
process of cooling. twenty-five eggs
which had been laid on very warm
days were placed in the incubator and
exposed to tho air as in the preceding
case. The temperature was such that
the eggs were warmed up to 104 de-
grees in two or three hours. This tenn
p%erature was maintained until the
brood was Matched. The chickens
pierced the shell, but they were so
weak that they died before leaving the
eggs. 1t was found that the eggs upon
which a fowl is sitting are not all of
the same temperature, those on the
outside being cooler than the ones in
the center.

The Medical Aspect of CycIinp.

After considering the subject in de-
tail, DR.. H. Grant Sigman makes the
following suggestions regarding the
use Of the wheel:
l.. Ride in moderation, and avoid all
such exertions as steep hill climbing,
fast riding, etc. This moderation must
be established in each case by the age,
temperament and physical ability and
endurance Of the rider.
2. Ride with the body erect.
8. Dismount and rest whenever tired
or short Of breath.
4. Don't ride Immediately after a
full meal.
5. Wear easy-ftting clothing, and
such as will not interfere with the free
movements of the rider.
6. After a ride take a sponge bath
and change of clothing, especially the
underwear. 1t is preferable to wear
lightweight wooden underwear while
riding.
7. Take frequently light, nutritious
food while on long trips and avoid the
use of stimulants, as such would tend
to blunt the sensibilities and render
the cyclist less appreciable to fatigue,
thus causing him unknowingly to over
tax his powers Of endurance.
8. In all forms of disease don't at
tempt cycling until after consulting a
doctor, and if recommended by him, be
very prudent regarding the mount of
exercise taken.

Political Science" often of an inge-
NOUS sort, is used in choosing the sites
of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose.
Rio de Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed a COM
mission of scientists to select a loca-
ton suitable for a new capital. The
commission has fixed upon a plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this is
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
in to choose the site Of a capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, az
cause and effect.

A decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the state
law of 1898, which provides for the
taxation of telephone, telegraph. pal
ace car, sleeping car, dining car, ex-
press and fast freight companies, and
empowers the state board of tax COM
missioners to assess taxation other
than that of a local character, and i'm
poses a penalty of so per cent upon
those failing to pay their taxes at the
time specified. The amount involved in
the Indiana cases is estimated by the
Indiana encouragement at 500, 900.
In the Ohio cases the amount involved
is more considerable. The state will,
1t is said, be a gamer by about $780,
900, the approximate amount of the
taxes for three years, not to speak of
the amount which will go into the
state treasury from this source annu-
ally.

Messing a meteor flashing across the

and seeing the stone drop to earth
within a few yards of where n Is

such a happening occurred recently to
Ben Hall, a painter Of Albina, Ore.
1t was shortly after 1890 p. m. that
Hall started from the store of Joseph
Turner to go to his lodgings. Reaching
corner of Rodney avenue, Hall was
startled by a sudden illumination of
the sky toward the east. Gazing aloft
Hall saw at first what he took to be
a ball from a Roman candle fired from
some pyrotechnic display incident to
he many professions. AS the flaming,
globe approached, however, it assumed
such size that the Roman candle sup
position was precluded. Nearing the
earth, the oncoming ball of fire could
be seen to be bringing with 1t a trafq
OF blush sparks. which left the main
body with a peculiar cracking sound
resembling the swapping of charcoal.
Barely missing the roof of the house
at the corner of Sellwood and Rodney
the visitant from the heavens
took a long, swooping flight, as though
repealed by the earth's surface, finally
alighting in a bed of hardpan on the
corner Of Rodney and Russell avenues,
purifying itself to a depth of some five
inches. The distance from where Mr..
Hall was standing to where the me-
teor alighted was so slight that he had
a fair view of that portion of the me-
teor exposed. From this came a show
er of sparks, much the same as though
the component parts of the m%eteoric
visitor contained a percentage of salt
peter. Going over to the spot where
the fragment of some body broken
loose had alighted Hall found the me-
teor still at a white heat. Having no
means of handling it, he returned to
the cigar store of Turner and informed
the people there Of the phenomenon
he had witnessed. Hall and two other
men then returned to the lot, corner
Of Russell and Rodney On
the way an empty lard kettle was
picked up, and on reaching the spot,
an attempt was made to scoop the frag-
ment of a d~isintegrated planet into
this plebeian receptacle. The piece of
a busted" star, however, evidently did
not appreciate such lowly treatment,
for upon being moved it emitted fumes
so pungent and nauseous as to drive
the meteor hunters away. After wait
ing some minutes for the stone to cool,
the party again tried to get it into the
kettle, but were again driven back by
the odor of the gases. A third attempt
was, however, successful, and the me-
teor was borne back to Turner's,

The invention of Alabastine marked .,
new era in wall coatings, and from the
standpoint of the building owner was a.
most important discovery. 1t has from a
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
"kalsomine' has become so offensive to
property owners that manufacturers of
cheap kalsomine preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits OF the durable Ala
bastine are SO thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for a possible saving of at the most but
a few cents. Thus it is again demonstrate
ed that merit wins, and that manufacture
ers of tirst-class articles will be supported
by the people.

l do not approve OF using many ol
the various brands Of poultry powders
advertised to increase egg production,
as many of them positively result IN
permanent injury to the hen, and from
experience I have observed that a
large per cent of the eggs are not fer
tile. During incubation much loss Is
thus incurred. I much prefer to in
crease egg production by special diet
and at the same time strengthen and
build up the constitution of the fowl.
For a morning meal 1 give a hot mash
composed of shorts mixed in hot milk
and water, and three times a week add
vegetables, potatoes, turnips, carrots,
cabbage, etc. 1 also drop in a red pep
per to. fifteen fowls once in three or
four days. The latter not only makes
the meal more palatable but is stimu-
lating and increases animal warmth.
The morning meal is given at 8 O'Clock
and is distributed in such a manner
that every fowl will have a proper al
lowance.
I water at II or IL o'clock and give
the fowls a good dust or ash bath. This
bath brightens the feathers, giving
them a fresh glossy appearance, adding
much to the luster of the plumage,
while in the ashes many hard sub
stances will be found that will aid in
digesting hard food. I frequently scat
ter shelled corn and oats with the
ashes or dust and mix thoroughly, thus
furnishing the fowls exercise in
scratching out the grain. When con-
nned In close quarters l find it advan-
tageous to mix corn with hay chaff
n allow them to pick 1t out. Now,
besides the exercise, we get a nice dry
litter for the floor. The evening meal,
which is given at 4 o'clock, consists
chiefly Of whole corn, generally fur
nished on the ear. Corn is very heat
ing and will increase the animal heat
during the long winter nights. A good,

move the fowls, close up the house
very tight and burn a liberal amount
OF sulphur-usually one application is
suficient-and. after carefully venti-
lating, the building is ready for occu-

David Starr Jordan, president of
Stanford University, says: "One of
the most disquieting features of the
social condition of our times is the
rush of young men to the cities. Re-
sulting from this Is the weakness and
instability of the farming population
as compared with the same class half
character gees with firmness of foot
hold on the soil. We may we'll look
with alarm Oh a condition in which
all men of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants of other nations. AS
matters are, the cities are great de-
%stroyers of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
is full of human failures, results OF
misdirected effort. A tour of the prin-
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
on Sunday evening in any great city
will show how terribly true this is.
Certainly on%e-fourth the present pom
ulation of such a city as San Francisco
for example has no real business there.
These people are doing nothing which
Is effective for themselves or helpful
to others, and the condition of the
other three-fourths, and most likely
their own condition, would be distinct.
