An interesting exhiAt by Mr.. Frank Ben
ton of the United States Department Of
Agriculture was a. trio Of rose-combed
white Minorcas. Last year rose-combed
black Minorcas were shown as an entirely
new breed. Rose-combed white Minorcas
were then unheard Of. There was. on this
account. special interest In Mr.. Benton's
birds. 1t was the first time that this breed
has been shown anywhere. They are thor
ough Minorcas in type, with the exception
of the combs. showing exceptional size, fine
outlines. good plumage and spirited car
riage. In the combs Mr.. Benton has sue
ceeded In developing the thorough-eoing
rose comb, which will undoubtedly give
the breed a place, sooner or later in the
Standard.
Some Bright Ideas.
In the department of poultry appliances
there were a number of good ideas shown,
which are distinctly new, ever to the mos,
enterprising poultrymen. Fred. Cochran of
Boston, who has a large brofler and egg
farm at that place, where he raises be-
tw cen 5000 and 10000 chicks every year.
exhibited a fine model of an egg farm in
miniature. 1t represented quadrangular
piece of ground divided by two intersectine
alleys, with a large office, feed house and
incubator cellar at the center The 70 II
fields made by the intersecting roadways
were laid Off with twelve houses arranged
equally distant from each other. each
house consisting of tightly built roosting
and laying room, with large scratching
shed adjoining, the front of which is open.
In this scratching shed the fowls may ex-
ercise during the cold days of winter, safe
from the piercing blasts of the north wind,
and thoroughly exercised by scratching for
wheat and corn in the fine litter which the
shrewd poultryman provides for his pets.
Mr.. Cochran also exhibited a nicely con-
trived caponizing table.

please excuse the looks of the Free

grinder for the Office. As we want to
have an up-to-date Office, we said we
would. SO we come to Memphis and
we asked Gen. Peter Tracy if he could
tell us where we could get good type
grinder and quad splitter. He said
he had few extra ones that he wasn't
using, and he would give us what we
wanted for nothing. When we went
after them, the box in which they
were packed was so heavy that we had
to hire dray to get it to the depot. II
cost us so. 81 to get that type grinder

The Latest Fad.

One of the latest fads is termed
'hair-reading," and its adopts pro-
nounce it an infallible index to charac-
ter, says Form.
Fine hair is said to denote gentle
birth, and the amount of care the hair
shows will determine the mode of life.
A tendency to curl denotes inherent
grace and a poetic nature. Straight
hair is the sign of firm and practical
disposition. while such bad qualities as
treachery and jealousy are generally
found in people with black, lusterless
hair. The lighter the hair the more
sensitive the owner.
The theory that red hair denoted q
fiery temper has been superseded by
one which attributes to its possessors
much honesty and cleverness.

We take pleasure in answering at

Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensive by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children 3, are little, In this
great universe of ours man is q mere
! insect, an ant, in his intellect, as COM
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus
He exists as certainly as love and gen.
crosby and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give to
your life its highest beauty and Joy
Alas! how dreary would be the world il
there were no Santa Claus. 1t would
be as dreary as if there we're no Vir'
ginias. There would be no childlike
faith then, no poetry, no romance &c
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except IL
sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.

You might get your papa to hire mer
