Hunts Eggs with x-Rays.

There seems 10 be no limit to the use
TO which the N-rays can be put in re
Yeallng the true inwardness of things.
1t is now being used by poultry farm
ers anxious TO discover the laying ca
pacity of hens. One entcrprislng man,
says the Pittsbnrg Dispatch, finding
the percentage of eggs was not what II
should he. considering the size of his
poultry yard, hit upon the Idea of eN.
animation by the Roentgen rays. and
was thus able 10 weed out the nonpro-
dueers. The birds were examined ut
the rate of 30 per hour, and the non
efficientsn were soon plucked and sent
10 market.
The Roentgen rays are said IN have
an extremely Injurious influence on
the action of the heart, causing that
organ to palpitate violently. and some
of the leading doctors in Paris have
issued warning to medical students
and others TO exercise great caution in
examination of the action of the heart
by the rays.
Ill effects have followed the use OF
the rays after many surgical operations
where 1t was desirable TO observe the
process of the healing OF the tissues,
the knitting of the bones, and the re-
creation of various parts. These effects
have usually partaken of the nature oil
burns, and In nearly every instance
were caused by placing the exciting
tube too near the part under inspection
or making the exposure too long. The
tube should never be less than Il
inches from the object, but the time OF
exposure Will vary according to The
strength of the apparatus

One of the difficulties In feeding
fowls Is that. as given by the poulterer.
the food Is In mass and can be COB
bled down far too quickly. In its nat
ural state, the fowl hunting for food
Is Obliged to eat slowly, one grain ut n
time. Usually. after each mouthful,
the hen is obliged to scratch for more
So lngralned Is this instinct that n hen

of the reasons why corn Is bad feed
for fowls Is that the grain is large, and
II shelled and thrown ont by handfuls,
the fowls eat It much too fast for their
good. The true way to feed hens is to

Observations ON the Decline of Street Car
Manners In the South.

Manners In the South.
1t cannot he concealed that there is
growing tendency even in the south,
where masculine gallantry has held out
longest, on the part of men to let wom-
ON in the street cars shift for themselves
1t has not come to that point yet, but
the movement is growing in that direc-
tion.
II is fact that men are rapidly fail
ing in the courtesy which was once uni
formly shown to women, and the rea-
son. to large extent. is that men are
meeting women as competitors in all
fields of labor. and this fact vastly
changes the social relations between the
sexes Women are claiming all sorts of
equality with men, moral political
and physical, and are declaring more
and more their independence The effect
ON the next generation will be very
marked and peculiar The men and wo-
men Of the present are affected to an
overpowering extent by the influence of
old ideas and training, aud that is the
reason they talk about street car man
ners and social ethics in their relations
TO the sexes, but in the year 1890, or
the period of one generation from the
present time, people will no longer con-
Germ themselves about such matters
The greater the number of women at
work in proportion to the men the more
stringent the competition, and it can
easily be seen that, according to the fig
ures shown, the day might come when
there would he no street car manners,
but every individual would look out
for himself or herself. as the case may
be But even should chivalry he extin-
guished from human manners there
will always remain the Christian grace
of charity. so in the time to come able
bodied young men and women who
have seats in the cars will rise to give
their places to old men and women and
to others who may be sick or disabled
