MODEL POULTRY HOUSE.

In selecting a plan for constructing
new, or in remodeling your old, poul-
try house, see that it combines the
following essential requisites:
/. A dry, light, warm roosting
room.
2. A large, light scratching pen and
shelter for stormy and windy days.
8. Arrangement for separating into
small flocks.
f. Abundant storage room for litter
and absorberts, feed, lime, kerosene,
tobacco dust, etc.
5. Immunity from lice.
6. Facilities for easily distributing
feed and water, gathering eggs, and
removing the drOppings.
7. A room or bin for storing ma
nure.
8. Separate apartments for setting
hens and broods of young chickens
8. Modern sized glass windows in
front, which should face to the south
or southwest, and doors so arranged
as to afford thorough ventilation in
hot weather, but closed very tightly
in winter.
10. Guard against hiding places for
rats. Study to combine these
requisites as economically as possible
and you will have a model poultry
house.

WOMAN'S ATTRACTIVENESS
Does she Lose Her Charm at 33 or
Later?

Statistical lists of renowned love af-
| airs, both in real life and in fiction,
would be of great value in determining
the question, at what age does a wo-
man lose her personal attractiveness?
1t is genrally admitted that this i'm
pOrtant point in woman's career has
moved several years in the last decade
or two. She who twenty years ago
was relegated to the shadowy existence
on an old maid would now be con-
sdered at her prime twenty-five
years old and not married! The nit
tend hands rose in horror, and for the
poor unfortunate spinster some duty
was provided-a motherless child to
be watched and tended, or a
widower's household to be kept"
But now a woman of twenty-five is
ust entering the arena of life, armed
and equipped for victory.
If statistical lists could be compared,
we should doubtless discover one more
verificatiOn of the old saying that
truth is stranger than fiction" A
novelist naturally hesitates to ascribe
attractions and charms to women on
the shady side of-but the number
must be supplied by the statistician.
In real life we all know of women old
enough to be grandmothe"s who have
still been capable of inspiring a grand
passion.
History records that passionate loye
was given to George Eliot when she
was go, to Nine. de Stael when she
was A, to Charlotte Bronte when she
was SO. When Paris yielded to the
| destinations of Helen of Troy, she is
said to have ben A years old Three
generations of the house Of Sevigne
paid equally ardent court to Minon de
PEnclos, and Nine. de Maintenon was
SO when the greatest monarch Of Eu-
rope married her for love. Nine. Re
camier had lost none of her beauty at
SIS. On the other hand, Balzac declared
that a woman was most attractive
when she was 80. Guy de MauDas SAINT
admitted that a woman might lie al
tractive at 40, while Thomas Hardy
goes SO far as to insinuate that d Wo-
said to have been A years old. Three

POPE LEO'S WINE HARVEST.

Thanks to the marvellous strength
of his constitution, the pope seems to
have rallied slightly from his recent
illness, and has beex able to devote
his attention to yearly function,
which possesses some little import
ance, though it lies quite outside the
sphere Of his ecclesiastical duties,
namely, the gathering of the grape
harvest in the grounds of the Vatican
says The New York Tribune. The
vineyards Of the latter extend over
several acres and yield an average Of
six thousand bottles Of an excellent
wine, which enjoys great favor among
the prelates and in those religious
communities which permit the use Of
stimulants. Much of the wealth of the
Pecci family, to which the pope belongs
is derived from the produce of their
vineyards, and it is from them that
the present pontiff has inherited his
pronounced taste for this particular
form Of agriculture. The holy father
