The Germans were repeatedly
mentioned in> early Roman history
as invaders of the country south of
the Alps. In 113 B. G. the leu tons
and the Cymry inflicted a great de
feat upon the Romans in nlyria; and,
in turn. were defeated by Marius,
B. G. 102. The Romans never made
any impression upon the Germans,
even Caesar falling in his attempts
to invade the country beyond the
Rhine. The army of Varrus, the
Roman general, was annihilated by
Arminius Or Hermann in the Teuto-
burg battle. The first historical
treatise, dealing with the Germans,
was written by Tacitus

Eso'eric Influences.

M. A. Brisson has published some
notes in the Temps on the nerves
ity' of Alfred de Musset, which, &C
cording to the poets housekeeper,
exceeded anything that can be
imagined Musset possessed the
gift Of second sight. He could di-
vine the thoughts of his friends be-
fore they opened their mouths to
speak to him. He was haunted by
presentiments, not one of which
failed in fulfiilment. One evening
as he was passing under the arcade
of the Louvre he heard a voice
moaning: 'They are killing me in
the Rue de Chabannais. y Hasten
ing to the spot, he met men bearing
corpse which they had just taken
up. M. Arago, who was present,
vouches for the truth of this Incl
dent. On another occasion, says the
housekeeper, ''he called me up at
about three o'clock in the morning.
I found him sitting up in bed with a
haggard expression. Pointing to a
corner of the room, he exclaimed:
Look at that id body-snatcher
over there; he won't go awayp I
did my best to pacify him, but it
was impossible. I tell you he is
there. he insisted. He has come
to fetch me, or else there is some
other person dead in the house.
The following morning I learned
that one of our neighbors had ac-
tually died at the very moment
when NJ. de Musset experienced this
horrible hallucination. The follow
ing case is still more extraordinary.
About a week before his death,
while he was bedridden and extreme
ly weak, I was watching beside his
couch with my sister. Suddenly he
raised himself. We tried to stop
him, but he succeeded in starting
for the bell rope, which was hung on
the far side of the fireplace. Before
he could reach half way he collapsed
into a chair and was merely able te
Iextend his arm toward the rope.
What follows swear to you is not
an invention, but true in every re-
spect, and my sister saw it as well
as !. We saw the bell rope dis
tinctly shaking as though hand
were pulling it, and our niece, who
was in the kitchen at the other end
of the fat, came running in to ask
who was ringing. NJ. Brisson was

VIII BE Here August :.

American minstrelsy began in a very
humble manner. In years gone by a
minstrel company was composed of a
dozen or fifteen people who were noted
for their ability TO present sketches of
negro life as it actually was. Many men
became noted in this profession and it is
a common saying that anyone OF them
could make negro ashamed OF himself.
At a white mans representation OF the
nergro character is. entertaining to the
general public, the humor of the simon
pure article, the negro himself, should be
very much more pleasing. Al. G. Field,
a noted minstrel manager who is the pro.
prietor OF the largest white minstrel or
ganization in America today, and who
has been very successful 10 the minstrel
business. has organized a company OF
real negrO MINISTRIES. They have made
complete tour of America covering Pc
riOd OF nearly two years. Their pert prm-
-ances have met with universal favor.

We tore down and burned the hen
house. We now have wire yards and
movable coops large enough for Is
hens to roost in. Every 10 or Is days
we grease their heads and under the
wings, with lard mixed with little
kerosene, sulphur and oil of penny
royal. We burn excelsior shavings on
the ground, sufficient to kill all in
sects but not enough to set the coops
on fire; then the coops and wire
yards are moved to another place and
the droppings removed. We also
sprinkle the coops with a strong de-
cotton of tobacco. At times we think
that the ''jiggers" are exterminated,
but as soon as we ''let up new
crop appears.

Thanksgiving market. Place the wa
ter in something shallow, so that
their beaks only can get wet. A lit
tie lime put in the drinking water is
excellent.
To make drinking cup so that
the young turkeys cannot get wet
take an oyster or any can about the
size and shape, cut the sides into
strips about an inch and half wide
down to about an inch of the bottom
of the can, turn the two strips oppo-
site each other over the top of the
can, bend the others down on the
side and then back again on a level
with the bottom of the cup. These
cups can be made to hold more or
less according to the size of the
chick and easily cleaned, and if the
hen steps on one she will not upset
it. Care must be taken for very
young chicks that they are made
shallow or they will get their heads
under the crosspieces on top.
If they show signs of looseness Of
the bowels give them lime water. See
that their coops are dry, put short
straw in the coops for them to roost
on, or sacks, or old carpets, if they
have not boarded floor. They must
be kept free from cold and damp.
Give little or no water until better.
Should the weather be hot, they can
not do without water entirely. Never
let young turkeys be exposed to the
sun during the heat of the day. They
must have shade to run to. 1t is
well to dust both young and old once
week until they have learned to use
the dust bath freely themselves. By
careful attention for the first two
months they will be but little trouble
after where they have the run of the
farm.-E. Hart in Fanciers' Monthly
