fined by sickness to her | ONE at Belair.
where Mrs. Fannie Silver, daughter of Mr.
Archer. is attending to the wants of her
mother.
During the development OF the disease Mr..

and became resigned to die six months ago,
when during one Of the severe nj tacks it was
thought he would not survive.

the State through message sent to it on III"
night of the Goth. Governor Jackson was
the chief executive of the State mt the tire,
and the announcement which he made was
received by the people with mingled feeling.
Many thought that the theft was the result OF
n combination of circumstances, and that
Archer had been made the scapegoat to bear
the burden and disgrace, that the Others
might escape.

said: II have proved false to the great trust
committed to me-" adding that he had
'cruelly wronged" the friends and others that

 Queer Shaped Locomotives.
 The Engineer of London illustrates queer looking French locomotive, de- signed evidently, as some experimental machines ill this country have been, to reduce air resistance Regarding this The Engineer says:
 The remarkable contour of the loco- motive we illustrate on this page needs no comment From time 10 time per sons forget that the end friction of elon- gated bodies moving at high yelocities is practically negligible when compared with the side friction and attempt to reduce resistance by providing the body with a pointed beak or brow, even at the expense of increased surface. 1t is true that projectiles are pointed at the leading extremity, but it has been shown by experiment. that the gain in velocity from so doing is only slight. The pro jectile, however, flies more steadily. and it is therefore pointed. An elol- gated projectile with an hemispherical end, but tapering toward the rear ex- tremity, is about as good for flight as my. The porpoise very closely follows this shape, and perhaps the great speed attained by this animal is dependent ill large measure upon it.

Trials of Newspaper Work.

One of the great trials of this news paper profession is the fact that they are compelled to see more uf the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office, day by day, go the weakness of the world, the vanities that want to be puffed, the re- venges that want to be wrecked, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent, all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns ill order to save the tax of the advertising column, all the men who want to be set right who never were right, all the crack brained philosophers, with story as long as their hair and as gloomy as their finger nails, all the itinerant bores who come to stay five minutes and stop an hour. From the editorial and reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day by day, and the temptation is to believe neither in God, man, nor woman. It is no surprise to me that in your profession there are some skeptical men. only wonder that you believe anything. Unless an editor or a report CT has in his present or in his early home a model of earnest character or he throw himself upon the upholding grace of God he may make temporal and eter. nal shipwreck.
 Another great trial of the newspaper profession is inadequate compensation. Since the days of Hazlitt and Sheridan and John Milton and the wailings of Grub street, London, literary toil, with very few exceptions, has not been prop. erlv reouited. When Oliver Goldsmith

Turkeys That Eat Beetles.

The turkey is an active bird and will
eat almost any kind of insects when in
the fields. Frequently it will eat po-
tato beetles, but in such cases the tur-
key will die unless it first kills the bugs
before swallowing them, as the live
bugs remain in the crop for many days,
destroying the lining of the crop and
causing Inflammation. Chickens sell
dom eat potato bugs, but both chickens
and turkeys will eat chinch bugs, which
are smaller than the potato beetles and
are smaller than the potato beetles and
are not always killed when picked up.
II grasshoppers are caught they are
usually torn to pieces or killed, as they
are large and cannot be swallowed
without being injured or killed; but
whenever bugs of any kind are swal-
lowed alive, if they have hard cover
ings on the bodies, the fowls will be
unable to pass them from the crop to the
gizzard, but soft insects may be swallow
ed without danger to the birds. 1t may
be stated that often the birds will con-
sumo hard-bodied insects and escape
injury, and may go to and from the
fields daily with no harm resulting, but
some day they may be very hungry, es-
pecially IL insect food has not been
plentiful, and greedily fill their crops
rapidly without fret destroying the
bugs, the result being disastrous. When
turkeys die always open their crops and
examine the contents.-Fancier's Re-
view
