Ground Boae and Oyster Shells.


Do not neglect to supply sufficient
taw bone, either crushed or in the
;orm OF meal. 1t contains lime, as
10 oyster shells, and it contains ami
NAL matter, which il of great value.
Bone, when burnt, is of comparative
ly little value over oyster shells, but
when crushed or ground raw it has
value peculiar to itself. All classes
of poultry are extremely fond of it.
Care should be taken to have it pure
and sweet. 1t is good for all classes
and ages of poultry. For young
chicks it should be used in the form
of meal, mixing small quantity two
or three times week with their soft
feed, say quart to bushel of corn
meal.
For young turkeys it is almost in
dispensable to prevent leg weakness.
At about the time of their shooting
the red," when their health becomes
established and they grow fast, the
development of their frames and legs
requires more liberal supply Of bone
material than can be afforded by the
the usual articles of food. It is we'll
to mix little bone meal with the feed
of young turkeys, and from the time
they are four weeks old it may be
used freely.
When there is trouble from soft
shelled eggs it may be quickly rem
edied by liberal use Of raw ground
bone and oyster shells.
Bone and shells may be fed to fowls
from narrow box nailed to the side
of the coop; we prefer this method, as
it is less wasteful than throwing them
on the ground. To use bone meal
benefcially it is Necessary to mix it
with the soft food. To promote lay
ing it is necessary to have it ground
coarse. Farm, Field and Fireside.

On the day that Alexander the Great
was married no fewer than 20,202 per-
sons in one ceremony were made hus-
bands and wives. This seems impos-
sible, but the event really took place.
its historical record tells us. This
monster wedding occurred upon the
conquest by Alexander the Great Of
Persia, which was then ruled over by
King Darius. Alexander married Sta
tira, the daughter OF the conquered
king, and decreed that 100 of his chief
officers should be united to 100 ladies
from the noblest Persian and Medean
families. In addition to this, he stip-
ulated that 10000 Of his Greek soldiers
should marry 10000 Asiatic women.
When everything was settled a vast
pavilion was erected, the pillars of
which were 60 feet high. One hum
dred gorgeous chambers adjoined this
for the 100 noble bridegrooms, while
for the remaining 10000 an outer court
was inclosed, outside of which tables
were spread for the multitude. Each
pair had seats, and ranged themselves
in a semi-circle round the royal throne.
OF course, the priests could not marry
this vast number of couples, so Alex
ander the Great devised a very simple
ceremony. He gave his hand to Sta
tira and kissed her-an example that
all the bridegrooms followed. Thus
ended the ceremony. and that vast
number were married. Then followed
the festival, which lasted five days,
the grandeur of which has never been
equaled since.

No sooner does an article of food
become widely used than certain
class Of men begin to devise methods
to falsify and adulterate it. The use of
cream is spreading rapidly in the
cities, and as consequence methods
for giving the cream false richness
are in demand. Fortunately the men
who get up these methods of adulter
ations are almost invariably profoundly
ignorant of the possibilities OF
chemical analysis, and the crude COM
pounds which they put upon the
market are easily distinguished if
enough is used to make the adultera-
ton profitable.
The latest method which has come
to our notice is one for falsifying
cream, giving it richness not due
to butter fat. The product is called
"albuminoid," and is mixture of
boric acid and gelatin. This compound
when added to cream makes it thicker
and apparently richer, and also,
owing to the boric acid, makes it
keep longer Fortunately both these
compounds are easily detected by the
chemist, and the dairyman who thinks
to increase his profits by the use of
such mixture stands good chance
of mourning fine that will make a
hole in his profits, and the hole will
be of sufficient size to make him think
twice before running the risk second
time. The tendency at the present
time is toward pure food products,
and, although such compounds as the
above appear on the market with
great regularity, we notice that in
short time they disappear. .-Hoard's

Startled the Old Mar.

The acoustics of Statuary hall in the
capitol at Washington are a matter of
wonder to tourists. and many are the
tricks played upon them. An exchange
tells of q youth employed in one of the
departments who was visited by his
father recently and took the old gentle
man to statuary hall. There is Il block
about the center Of the circular hall
where. if one stands and faces the
north, o sound uttered from tho door
way, 40 feet In the rear, seems to be
Immediately in front Of this block. The
youth managed to get his father on tho
block and, attracting his attention to-
ward o statue in front, slipped to the
real and said: "What time have you?
My watch has stopped" The father
drew out his watch and was half
through giving him tho time when he
looked around and saw that no was
standing alone and that the son was
nowhere to be seen. He was bowildered
and looked like the man from beneath
whose coat collar tho magician has Just
extracted a live goose. Presently the
son stepped forth fxom tho pillar where
he had been in hiding, but it required
many explanations to restore the old
gentleman's serenity.
