A Small Bows Patriotism.

A well-dressed boy, about IA years old,
ran up to police officer in Newark, N. j.,
the other day and said in an excited manner
that he had case for him. He led the
officer to the front of a drygoods store kept
by an Italian and showed United States
flag hung out and covered with various
articles of the mans stock as an advertise
ment
sits contrary to the law" declared the
lad, land if you don't tell him so and make
him take them off, I'll get gang OF boys
and tear them down."
The storekeeper took the stockings, hand
kerchiefs and other articles from the flag
after an explanation.

PLYMoUrH Rock CoCKEREL.

PLYMOUTH Rock COCKEREL-
namesake, it has stood all the untold trials
of opposition until now it stands in the fore
most rank of fowls 1t is an American breed,
and every American should be proud of it.
Many new breeds have been started and
doomed to the skies as a general-purpose
fowl, but the Plymouth Rock still stands
the test and holds its place in the lead.
You may travel north, south, east and west,
and on the farm, in the village, and wherever
poultry is found you will find the Plymouth
Rock, either in it's purity or a commingling
of il with other stock, and to-day we find
nearly as many Rocks used in the United
States as ali other breeds combined. In
some sections hucksters will hardly buy any
other kind, and will pay from one to two
cents more per pound for them than for
other breeds And there is good reason
! for this. The people generally know good
thing in the Rocks; they are 10th to give it
up, and will not DO so until they are thor
oughly convinced that there is something
better to be had.
Breeds yermin.
Never use eggs as nest-eggs. The vices Of
egg eating and feather pulling sometimes
come from the hens eating broken eggs, and
when such filthy thing as rotten egg IS
left in the nest as an inducement, it IS an
indication of gross mismanagement, for they
often burst and scatter their contents over the
nests and floors, thus making the conditions
| most favorable for lice to breed and multiply.
| If nest-eggs are to be used, let them be of
| china or porcelain, as they can then be
| washed and cleaned at any time, and the
cost of them is but tri1e. Rotten eggs in
nests, to be used as nest-eggs, are sure to
! breed lice, and in that case there will be
fewer eggs laid by the hens.
The Polish Fowl.
The Polish fowl is not considered a prac-
teal bird. 1t is one of the most ornamental
varieties of poultry, and is priced very highly
for its beauty. They are hardy, good layers,
| and excellent fowls for table purposes. They
are medium-sized fowl, slightly larger than
the Hamburgs, with a full, round breast,

The Fourth of July, and Some Facts as to
Elag-making.

The Fourth of July, and Some Facts as to
Flag-making.
July L. 1897, is the l23d celebration of INDIE
pendence Day, the day that the old Liberty bell
rang out in Philadelphia. "proclaiming liberty
tbrougho all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" Since then liberty and independence
have, indeed, gone marching on, sometimes
through the valleys of humiliation and shadows
of defeat, sometimes through seas of blood and
carnage.
This march of liberty and independence is
the marvel of the world it is the march of
Justice, the march of right. The men who
took up arms against tho flag. little more
than three decades ago, are vowing their etcr-
nal allegiance TO it now. OF Old Glory we may
saw as il was said OF the righteous man of old:
lie maketh even thine enemies to praise
thee"

Soft Shelled Eggs.

No matter how much bone, lime, or oys-
ter shells may be given the flock, the hens
will fail to produce perfect eggs if they are
fed too highly until very fat. When an egg
is soft-shelled it is sure indication that the
hens are too fat The same is true when
they lay doubIe-yolk eggs The remedy is
to feed less food, and especially less grain,
allowing only one meal day for a week or
two, keeping the hens in exercise, so as to
reduce them in flesh and bring them into
normal condition.

EX-OHIEF CROWLEY,

The retirement of Patrick Crowley from
the position of Chief of Police. which he
has so long and so worthily filled, affords
to the people of San Francisco good op-
portuuity for making known to him the
popular esteem for his character and the
public appreciation of the manner in
which he has performed the arduous,
dangerous and complex duties of the
office.
1t is right and fitting that the press
should give some expression to public
sentiment in this regard, and THE CALL
gladly and cheerfully does so. For many
years Chief Crowley has been the most
noted Chief of Police in the United States.
He has enjoyed National fame rather
than local reputation. Among officers
of the law throughout all parts of the
United States his work has been known
and the esteem in which he has been held
has been high. No other city in the
Union has had an official in a similar
capacity who has served it so well or
whose general repute has been SO wide
| spread, and IN whose energy, honesty
and sagacity there has been 80 much pub
lie confidence.
The duties of Chief of Police are of
nature that require the highest personal
chara acteristics in the man who is to per-
form them with success and honor A
Chief of Police must be a clean man per-
sonaIly, free from all evil association. He
must be man of marked sagacity, able
to see his way clearly to the solution of
the most difficult problems of law and
crime so that the evildoers may be sup
pressed and the innocent saved from
wrong. He must be a man of courage,
whom no dangers can daunt, and of hon.
esty which no bribes can subvert. He
must have, moreover, that discretion in
the management of delicate matters which
will enable people to entrust him with con-
fdential secrets without fear that they
will be disclosed. All of these character
istics Chief Crowley possessed, and along
with them he had an energy which en-
abled him to put them into good effect in
every emergency that arose.
After more than twenty four years of
service, in which he has faithfully per-
formed every duty entrusted to him, the
Chief now goes into retirement with
record on which there is no spot or stain
or mark that mars. 1t is a clear, clean,
honest record, one of which the Chief may
be proud and in which his children and
his children's children may rightly re-
ioice.
The people of San Francisco may also
take just pride in having had SO excel.
lent an officer in this difficult position
and in having supported him in it for so
long time. His career is as creditable
to the community that upheld him as it
is to himself Now in his olu age, as he
goes into retirement to enjoy the rest and
pension he has so we'll deserved, he will
continue TO be honored as he has been in
the past. He will long serve the people
of San Francisco as model by which all
future chiefs of police may mold their
standard of action, and it will be &C.
counted praise for even the best of them
to be said that he is worthy successor of
Patrick Crowley.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The act OF Congress appropriating $780,
600 for the relief OF the sufferers by the
Mississippi foods will be well received by
the country. Congress in fact could have
hardly done otherwise. Since we have
been liberal in giving aid to India and
o!her foreign countries we could not hesi-
tate in extending help to our own cuun.
trymen when they need it.
The fund thus bestowed by the Govern
ment will be but a small part of the help
which will be given to the stricken peo.
pie. Private charity will far exceed it in
generosity and In amount, and it is certain
that so far as charity can repair the evil
wrought by the flood it will be DONE
The serious feature of the situation is
that the relief granted by the Govern ment
or given by private generosity will be only
temporary expedient. It will not in
any way prevent the occurrence of simi-
lar disasters in the future. In fact the
Mississippi problem is rapidly becom-
ing chronic. Floods to greater or less
extent occur every year, and, moreover
they increase in the amount of damage
and disaster which they bring to the peo-
pie who live along the banks of the great
river. Thus the work of relief done this
year will probably have to be repeated
next year, and so on until at last appro-
priations for the Mississippi food suffer-
ers may become permanent charge upon
the Government.
1t Is evident that the attempts made to
restrain the river by levees are worse than
futile. They aggravate the evil instead of
applying remedy for it. The higher the
levees are built, the higher is raised the
bed of the river. The more narrow the
bounds Of the stream are made the more
terrible are the floods that overflow them.
All the waters which drain into that i'm
mense basin which lies between the
Rocky and the Allegheny mountains must
be carried off by the single great stream.
and it is physical impossibility to dam
up these waters on their way to the sea.
The problem is one of the most difficult
which confronts American engineering.
1t seems that the only solution must be
one which will widen the mouths of the
Mississippi so as to allow a freer flow of
water to the sea, or else system m of irripa-
tion which would enable it to overflow
the whole of the iowlands of Arkansas.
Louisiana and Mississippi, as the Nile
overflows Egypt. 10 each of these plans
there are objections, but they are not so
serious as those which can be urged
against the levee system. While the
