The Cricket Season.

The month OF May, generally so
full of promise to cricketers, has
arrived, but so far the Clerk OF the
Weather has been very unkind to
lovers of the game. The trial
matches at Oxford and Cambridge,
which are always attractive, because
OF the possibilities they open out TO
embryo Graces, and also because OF
the keeness with which county
secretaries scrutinise performances
in the hope of eventually strength
ening their own elevens, were both
sadly interfered with by rain,
though it was somewhat singular
instance of the vagaries of our
climate that the two University
sides had alternate days of idleness.
In the intervals of sunshine, how
ever, sufficient cricket was seen to
lead to the belief that there will, as
usual, be spirited competition for
the vacant places in the elevens Of
the two Universities, and so far as
Oxford is concerned, there would
appear to be every indication that

The Biddenden Maids"

large NUMBER Oh people VlSlGeu
Biddenden, near Ashford, Kent, re.
Gently, to witness and participate in
the due carrying out OF the will OF
an extraordinary couple. In the year
HOO there were born to a man and
his wife, named Chulkhurst, twin
girls, who were joined together by
the hips and shoulders. They had
only one arm each, but they were
perfect children in every other re-
spect. The parents Of this wonder
ful phenomenon refused to permit
surgical operation for dividing the
twins, and they were allowed to
grow up together as they were born.
They were the talk of the country
for miles round, and it is stated that
large sums of money we're frequent
ly offered to the parents to allow the
twins to travel the world for exhihi-
ton purposes, but Chulkhurst and
his wife, being in fair circumstances,
were firm in their refusal OF these
offers. Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst,
"the Biddenden maids" lived to.
gether in their joined state for 81
years, at the expiration OF which
time one of them was taken i'll, aud
when, after a short time, the sister
died, the other was strongly urged
to be separated by dissection, but
she refused, remarkiug, "As we came
together we will also go together"
and in the space Of about six hours
after the sisters decease she was
taken i'll and died also. During the
life OF the twins they were noted
and beloved for their charity to-
wards the poor OF the parish Of Bid
denden and surrounding neighbor-
hood. One clause in their will was
of an extraordinary character. They
bequeathed to the ehurchwardens
Of the parish and their successors
for ever certain pieces or parcels of
land in the parish OF Biddenden
containing 20 acres, more or less,
which let at 40 guineas per annum,
and they stipulated that every
Easter Day, after service at the
parish church, bread and cheese
should be served out to all strangers
who came into the parish on that
day, and also to the poor inhabit-
ants. Not an Easter Sunday has
passed since the year lbs without
the terms Of this extraordinary will
being religiously observed, although
now all idea OF charity has practic-
ally disappeared, and many go to
Biddenden for the express purpose
of getting roll Of bread, with re-
presentation of the twins impressed
upon it, to preserve as curiosity.
On Easter Sunday the distribu-
ton took place in building known
locally as the "Old Workhouse," the
Rev. Walter Lewen (curate in charge
of the parish), the churchwardens
and other willing helpers being
busily engaged in giving away 1000
rolls to Strangers" on the principle
Of "frst come, first served" and
afterwards 500 quartern loaves, and
cheese in proportion were handed
to all the poor inhabitants Of the
parish. The tomb of the maids in
the churchyard was centre of at
traction during the day,-Kentish

vertigo in Geese and Duck..

The most frequent difficulty with
ducks and geese is that of vertigo. They
drop down on their feet or fall over to
one side suddenly, at times as rapidly
recovering or dying Immediately. This
happens only when ducks or geese are
fed on too much grain. The best sys-
tenn to adopt is to put them in a field
where short grass is abundant, or even
young weeds, and let them get the food
for themselves. They require but very
little food after warm weather comes,
rs they are then we'll over the laying
season, becoming nonproducers. If this
fact is kept in view-that of the non
producers requiring but little food dur
ing warm weather-there would be a
saving in expenses, as we'll as fewer
losses occurring from disease, but it is
difficult to convince those having good
breeds that there is such thing as
killing with Misunderstanding too
much.-Farm and Fireside.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Improve the pastures.
Epsom's salts are the best physic for
the COW.
There should be ample pasture for
the swine.
Better drive the horse fast up hill
than down hill.
When the frog of the horses foot be-
comes hard, use poultice.
Build the swine pen so as to facilitate
easy handling of the swine.
Cabbages can be fed profitably to
swine, and they are a cheap feed.
Powdered charcoal is an absorbent
of gases in the stable or in the animal.
AS rule it does not pay to attempt
to cure horse of viciousness. Get rid
of it.
If your blacksmith puts a red-hot
shoe on your horses foot, go to black
smith that won't.
1t is just as important to carefully
select the breeding stock for mules as it
is for horses.
If your horse cribs, sell him, is the adj
vice of writer; and our advice is, don't
buy such horse.
The horse often SHES because its eye.
sight is not perfect and it mistakes the
character of objects.
A little ''spring" medicine is good for
the horse. A dose of May apple root
will clean out the animal.
Begin to "break'' the calf, as we'll as
the colt, early, that is, accustom it to
being handled and to being tied.
If the hogs are confined only during
the fattening process, it may be much
smaller than if they are confined for q
longer period.-Western Plowman.

FIRE GRENADE AGENT FOOLED.
The Proprietor o4 the Hotel Lost .
Good Cust0nee.

The Proprietor ea she Hotel Lost .
Good CustOnee.
The proprietor of suburban hotel has q
son whose sense OF humor seems likely to re.
suit in the destruction of the business of the
house. Recently one of the guests was the
travelling representative Of a fire grenade
manufacturing house. The grenades are
green glass bottles filled with compound
that is said to smother fire. They are hurled
into the center of the blaze, and, bursting
with the force of the impact render an
engine and line of hose unnecessary.
The fire grenade agent remained several
days at the hotel and advertised that before
his departure he would give grand exhibi.
tion of the efficiency of the green glass bot.
ties. Early in the evening when the exhi
bition was advertised to take place large
hotel; The agent caused fire to be built in
the street, boxes and barrels being piled
many feet high. After seeing that the fire
was roaring merrily the agent made his ap.
pearance bearing an armful of fire grenades.
He hurled the bottles one after another into
the blazing pile, but instead of smothering
the flames the grenades seemed to have the
opposite effect. The, fire blazed up nearly
twice its former height, and the surround
ing buildings began to shed their paint,
while the crowd drew back from the fierce
heat.
The agent was the most astonished man in
the group until he learned that the son of
the hotel proprietor had extracted the gren.
ades from the sample case, poured out the
contents and then filled them with gaso-
line. The crowd soon found out that the
grenades had been "doctored," and yells Of
derision nearly drowned the protests of
hotel proprietor that the house should pay
the costs Of the indulgence of the small boy q
humor.-Chicago Times Herald.

POTATO AND STRAWBERRY.

One time big potato grew
Beside a small strawberry red.
They into conversation drew.
And this is what strawberry said:
'sI'm glad that am not like you
Way down beAeath the ground, so deep.
Where it is dark and chilly-Boo!
It makes my runners fairly creep!
But you're too dirty to be seen
That's why you hide your head. guess;
Your face is scarcely ever clean,
You're Just lump Of ugliness!
While I am beautiful you see,
And sweet and fair-compacxion fine:
The people fairly worship me,
They say that I am just divine!'
The old potato rubbed his eyes.
And, speaking slowly, answered thus:
''The vain, you know, are seldom wise:
And those who make the greatest fuss
About themselves oft know the least.
Beauty's thing that quickly dies.
And sweetness an insipid feast
For all but girls and butterflies.
'Tis true I'm ugly. old, and queer,
And make my home beneath the ground
But while you-last a month, my dear.
am on hand the whole year round.
So listen, while potato sings
To you truth, my little miss:
Not always are the prettiest things
Most useful-just remember this"

RESULTS OF CROSSING.
The Use of scrsbs a. . Foundation
Has Retarded Pr0gress Whee.
ever 1t Has been Tried.

Any farmer who will use scrub hens
and begin with them as a foundation
for improvement will lose year or two
by SO doing, as he can get fowls or eggs
of pure breeds at such small cost that it
will be really extravagant to retain the
scrubs. More effort has been made in
improving scrub fowls than with large
stock, but nothing of Importance has
been gained thereby. On the contrary,
the use of scrubs as foundation has
retarded progress. The farmers must
first get rid of the supposition that
crossing breeds is an advantage. If
they should judiciously cross, knowing
what they are doing, they might prob
ably accomplish something, but as it is
they do more harm by crossing than is
expected. For instance, let the farms
have two breeds-Plymouth Rocks and
Hamburgs. The first he finds an exc
cellent market fowl, we'll up to the aver
age as layers, hardy and adapted to
nearly all climates. The Hamburgs
will lay more eggs than the Plymouth
Rocks (mostly in summer), but are
small and not hardy in winter. Now,
it we can combine the productive ca
pacity of the Hamburgs with the hardi-
ness of the Plymouth Rocks, The farmer
considers that he will have superb
cross. He does not stop to consider
that the breeders have crossed in every
possible manner to get the same results,
and that the pure breeds are themselves
crosses that have been fixed in charac-
tcristics; nor does the farmer consider
that 50 farmers in every 100 have done
just what he is about to do. So he
makes his cross, and gets birds that do
not lay as we'll as the Hamburgs, are
not equal to the Plymouth Rocks in any
respect, will not endure severe winters,
and which are of all colors and sizes.
Then he ceases, as he makes no careful
note OF the cross, neglects the birds be-
cause they have become scrubs, his in
terest in pure breeds has passed, and
he is on the down grade to ruin, so far
as keeping poultry for the best results
is conccrned.-Farm and Fireside.

ASTHMA'S PROGRESS.
From Cold to Cure.
No relief i'm other remedies.

There are many medicines that palliate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for a time the oppressed breathing
Of the sufferer. There are few diseases
than asthma. It interferes alike with
business and with pleasure. 1t prevents
enjoyment of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest posi-
bic boon that could be offered them. There,
is a remedy for asthma. DR.. J. c. Ayers
Cherry Pectora1 has cured hundreds of
cases of this disease, aud testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exemplifying
the quick and radical action of this great
remedy.

cRoP-BoUND POULTRY.
Unless q Remedy IL Immediately Ap.
piled Fowls So AFFLICTED Will
Die Speedily.

Crop bound is especially prevalent
among fowls in close confinement,
where in their desire to procure green
food they consume large quantities of
dry grass, and I have observed its be-
ing brought on in at least one case by
eating tea leaves, the whole mass form
ing hard lump in the crop, thus being
indigestible, causing the bird to dump,
and unless remedy is speedily applied,
to die. In one of our exchanges writer
gives the following remedy: First, pro-
cure piece of the smallest size rubber
tube about 1s inches in length (this can
be obtained at any drug store); attach
one end to small tunnel, grease the
other with lard or vaseline for about
four inches, and are ready for business.
Getanassistanttosecurel to hold the sick
bird, now carefully place tube in the
birds mouth and push we'll down the
crop, about four inches of tube will be
required, hold the tunnel slightly above
the fowls head and slowly pour in as
much luke-warm water as the crop will
hold, about one teacupful. Have the
assistant work the crop carefully dur
ing the process and until the hard mass
becomes softened. Great care should
be taken both in pouring water and
working crop lest the fowl become
choked by water rising in the throat.
Next grasp the bird by the legs and hold
head down, gently working crop to as
sist bird to vomit. In most cases one
trial is enough to completely empty the
crop, but in case it is not, let the fowl
rest for half an hour and repeat the
process. This remedy has also been
used by me very successfully in cases
of acute indigestion. Keep the bird on
soft food with plenty of sharp grit and
charcoal for few days and the cure is
complete,
