When Hens Are Droopy.

When a hen is droopy, it does not
mean that she must be treated with
some remedy. Like human individuals,
fowls are affected by the weather, a
northeast storm sometimes causing
them to be less active than at other
times. Again, when fowls have been
fed very heavily on grain they will be-
come dull and droopy, in which case it
is only necessary to withhold all food
for a few days. A bird may receive an
injury in some manner, which frequent
ly results, such as happens mostly when
the roost is high, the remedy being to
keep the birds without roosts, on straw,
for a few days.-Farm and Fireside.

on the ground, he sits down beside them,
cToss-legged, closes his eyes, and begins

To the occidental ear there is nothing
impressive or thrilling in the perform
ance, and you fail to detect even faint
resemblance to a harmonious arrange
ment of tones such as you have heard in
your native land. 1t appears more like
an irregular series of melancholy
means, soulful wailings, and dismal
shrieks, not unlike the productions of a
Beginner on tie clarinet. You listen

The music, if it may be called so, is de-

ment in the grass some distance from
the player and the head of a snake dp-
pears above the blades, swaying to and
fro, at least a foot or two from the
ground.
If it is a cobra, the hood is expanded
and the eyes flash and aparklelike cleo
trio lights. Presently, perhaps, another
snake will appear in different part Of
the garden, followed by another, and,

with the music They seem to give
themselves up entirely to the fascna-
ton of the weird sounds and to lose all
consciousness of everything else.
AS long as the man plays, they remain
within two or three feet of him, while
he sits with closed eyes, apparently un-
conscious of their presence, And still
he seems to WELD a mysterious power
over them, holding them at safe dis
lance from him, while they never cease
to oscillate as if in supreme ecstasy
| Suddenly he removes the pipe from his
lips and opens his eyes, Slowly the

REAL SNAKE CHARMERs.
Reptiles Into Temporary DociI-
ity and HnrmIessness.

The famous snake charmeTs Of India
are divided into two classes, namely the
genuine and the imitation, or the zeal
charmer and the tricky but clever
manipulation of snakes. The former
actually charms the venomous reptiles
into temporary docility and harmless
ness, while the latter merely handles
those which have been rendered harm
less by the extraction Of their fangs.
The real charmer seldom performs in
a large town, because snakes are not as
numerous there as in the smaller viii
lagos and the jungles. One of this class
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, carrying his worldly possessions
in two bags hung on a bamboo pole,
which rests on one Of his shoulders. His
most important and highly priced be-
longing, his pipe, rude musical instru-
ment made Of a gourd and a section Of
bamboo, he carries in his hand.
If you are living in the mofussil, or
rural district, and desire to ascertain
whether there are snakes harbored with
in the precincts of your garden, pay the
charmer a rupee or two and he is at your

How to Remore snots.

Spots and marks on wooden gowns
are easily removed by rubbing them
well with a cake of magnesia. Hang the
gown away for "A day or two and then
brush thoroughly. If the spot has not
entirely disappeared repeat the process.
Other gowns besides those Of wool can
often be cleaned by this means, and
laces that are slightly soiled are fresh
ened by rubbing them well with mag
uesia and allowing il to remain on the
lace for a short time.
