Photographing the Monkey.

zone of the most difficult brutes to
photograph is the monkey" said man
in New York who makes business OF
taking pictures of all sorts of animals
and birds. ''You may try as much as
you like, but you will never succeed in
making a monkey look straight into
the center of camera for even Sec
ond. It's glance always shifts off to
one side of the other. Nor will it ever
catch your eye of fix it's own upon
yours, and I have come to the conclu-
sion that monkey cannot look at a
camera any more than it can human
being in the face.
''Take a dogs head in your two
hands and look into it's eyes. The
beast will return your gaze, not for
long, perhaps, for the contemplation
of human intelligence distresses all
animals. But it is not so with the
monkey Hold it's head as patiently
as you please between your hands,
and it will cast it's eyes up to the cell
ing and keep on winking or cast them
down to the floor as if asleep or twist
them around in a most absurd fashion
to look over one side or the other, but
never, even in passing by 1t, will it
catch yours.
why is this? I don't know, unless
1t is that the animal has some secret
regarding our own origin that it does
not wish us to find out However, If
they are bashful, they are very in
quisitive, and if I were to leave my
camera unguarded for ten minutes in
cage containing a dozen monkeys
half the family would be busy taking
photographs of the other half

a remedy, SO early this season got 100
pounds of it. We find it very satisfac-
tory. 1t kills the lice and does not hurt
the hens or the little chicks. We sprin-
kle it over the sitting hens while on the
nests and put it in the dust wallows,
ana thus reduce the amount of lice on
the old fowls. AS soon as the chicks
are off the nest, we critically inspect
every one of them for lice. l use pure
kerosene, dipping the tip of a finger in
it, and touch the top of the head, the
throat and back of the neck. When
the down is wet in this way the lice are
easily seen, and the kerosene kills all
that it touches, both lice and nits.
also rub little grease on the hens

Chicken Lice.

Lice cause the death of millions OF
chickens every year, and especially lit
tie growing chicks. It is not the klnd
of lice that feed on the hens at night
and go back onto the perches to hide
during the day and digest the blood
they sucked at night. These are "chick-
en- bedbugs," as friend has very aptly
named them. We have had a few Of
these and easily destroyed them by
pouring kerosene on the roost poles I'M
til it drips off. have the poles nova
BILE, and sometimes take them out and
SINCE them after applying the kerosene,
or get new ones.
But the lice that trouble us are the
big gray ones that crawl from the hens
to the little chicks as soon as Matched,
and fasten upon their heads, threats
and the back of their necks. They suck
their blood and lay eggs that soon
hatch and make hundreds of little lice
that run all over their bodies.

VlLLAMIL A MAN OF NOTE.
The Dead Admiral Well Known in New
York Society.

The Dead Admiral Well Known in New
York Society.
Admiral Fernando Villamil of the
| Spanish Navy, the torpedo boat ex-
pert, whose death in the sea fight Oft
Santiago has been reported by Cap
tain-General Blanco to Madrid, was
no stranger in New York. He made a
number of visits to the city, the last
being in 1894, when he made a tour
| Of the world with 500 cadets for the
purpose of giving them instruction.
He was a man of much tenacity Of
purpose, martinez on board ship, but
of pleasant personality when met in
social way He was born in Astur-
las, where his wife and daughter are
living.
Up to four years ago, when he was
a Commodore, he was almost un.
known, as he had won his rank by
hard work, and was but seldom seen
around the court. In that year he
was ordered to San Sebastian to act
as guard for the youthful King and
the Queen Regent. His appointment
excited the envy of other Spanish
naval officers, who desired the oppor-
tunity of being near the royal family.
At that time Villamil commanded
the torpedo boat Destructor, boat
of his own designing. 1t was the
laughing stock of the navy on account
of it's small size and low free,
board The Queen Regent, however,
was greatly interested in this new
fighting machine and paid frequent
visits to it, causing much heartburn
ing among the other officers. In the
middle of summer she and the King
decided to take a trip to Bilboa, and
chose the Destructor as their vessel.
This caused a great outcry, and the
Minister of Marine begged the Queen
Regent to send the King on another
boat, so that in the event of an &C
cident at least one of them would be
saved.
"Commc dore Villamil," asked the
Queen Regent, sis there the slightest
danger"
"None, your Majesty" was the re-
ply.
''Then we will both sail with YOU"
replied the Queen Regent, much to the
discontinue of the Minister of Mar
inc. The trip was made in safety, and
Villamil was shortly afterward raised
to the rank of Admiral.
At one time when Villamil was CIV
ing dinner on board the Destructor,
an incident occurred that illustrates
how the vessel was regarded by the
Spanish people. An artist, who was
one of the guests, was asked to draw
picture of the vessel. He complied
with the request, and when he exhib-
tied his sketch it was seen that he
had merely put number of splotches
of ink, representing driftwood float
ing in the sea. Beneath the sketch
he had written the words, "Puzzle
picture; find the Destructor."

Experiments with Turkeys.

A farmer who has raised turkeys
many years, and who takes pleasure in
making experiments, writes that char
coal, turkey fat and diamonds are
alike in some respects. 1t is a fact that
more fat may be gotten out Of charcoal
than one would suspect, without a
knowledge of chemistry. Here is an
account of one experiment: -Four tur-
keys were confined in a pen and fed on
meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four
others of the same brood were at the
same time confined in another pen and
fed daily on the article, but with one
pint of very fine pulverized charcoal
mixed with their food-mixed meal and
boiled potatoes. They also had a plenti-
full supply of broken charcoal in their
pen The eight were killed on the same
day, and there was difference of ~
pounds each in favor of the fowls
which had been supplied with charcoal,
they being much the fatter, and the
meat being superior in point of tnneer-
ness and flavor. Poultry World.

Meath the foeman's deadly hand,

For freedoms glorious land,
So chase away all sorrow
While the merry bugles play,
Though darkness wells to morrow,
The light will come next day.
Then farewell to home and wife.

study Zach Animal.

There is disposition to rebel against
feeding tables" that is, making the al
lowance of food according to the live
weight Of the animal. No rules for
feeding that are based on weight can
be followed, as the preferences for the
various kinds of food, the capacity of
production, and the health Of the ami
mails vary. A large cow may be a
dainty feeder, while small one may at
all times be ready to consume large
quantities Of food. To feed properly
it is necessary for the dairyman to
study each cow in his herd and allow
her as much as she requires. If she
does not pay for her food then he
should replace her with better animal,
but it matters not how large quantity
Of food a cow may consume provided
she gives profit.

Kerosene for Cleaning

1t is probable that the manifold uses
of kerosene, valuable as it is, are
somewhat overrated. Certainly ben
zine, which contains much less oil than
kerosene, is better for the clothes boiler
or for all purposes where oil is not de-
sirable. For cleaning hard wood or for
either galvanized or common iron sinks.
and for many purposes of the kitchen,
common kerosene is better. 1t is we'll
known that kerosene does not leave a.
permanent oil stain. 1t seems to pos
sess the power of finally absorbing it's
own oil as benzine does other oils. A
stain of kerosene oil will soon disappear
totally from any article Of wood.-New

Dainty Salads.

Vegetable salads are often served In
ornamental cups formed of peeled toma-
toes, or cucumbers, or lemon skins
scooped out and cut in shape. Fill two
or three cups, according to their size, for
a service on each plate, placing them in
firm position on lettuce leaf, if neces-
sary, with quarters of olive or orna-
mental bits of vegetable Of any kind
suitable. The cups themselves and all
the plates contain is supposed to con-
stitute the service of salad so that an
extra amount Of dressing must be used.

Care of House Wells.

There should be an Enclosed building
over every we'll from which water is to
be taken for family use. Multitudes of
insects and even small animals fall into
the we'll If 1T is exposed to the air and
has no curb around it. So, too, there
is always much dust blown into it, and
the rays Of the sun shining down make
the water too warm to use during hot
weather. Every time a bucket is low
cred into the water it carries some of
the warmth it has absorbed from con-
tact with the summer air.

Every housewife knows that onions
are kind of all-round good medicine,
without knowing why.
She knows that a solid red onion eat
en- at bed time will by the next morning
break the severest cold.
She also knows that onions make q
good plaster to remove Inflammation
and hOarSeneSS.
If any one would take an onion and
mash it so as to secure all the juice in
it, he would have a most remarkable
smelling substance that would. quiet
the most nervous person.
The strength of this substance in
hailed for a few moments will dull the
sense of smell and weaken the nerves
until sleep is produced from sheer ex-
haustion.
This all comes from one property pos
sessed by the onion, and that is form
Of opium.

Home Wisdom.

AS soon as books are laid aside some
simple home duties should be arranged
for the children, to occupy part of the
time that has been spent at lessons;
and vacation time will be found the
best time for interesting the little ones
in the fascination of play housekeep-
ing"
Every wise woman understands that
the best method of teaching her daugh-
ter that tidiness and cleanliness of
habit so essential to good housekeeping
is the giving to the little girl n province
Of her own, as dainty and attractive as
thought and care can make it, and
make her responsible for it's order or
disorder.
And it will not hurt the boys to be
taught to take care of their own rooms;
and habits of neatness can soon be
formed by interesting them in keeping
their own belongings as orderly as
those Of their sisters.

Overlooking Before Working.

Whenever working team has an I'M
usually hard job it is the habit of some
farmers to feed 1t extra, thus giving
its stomach an additional labor, and
thus lessening available present
strength. 1t ought always to be remenf'
bered that it Is the food eaten the da:!
before, and for days and weeks before
that, which is available for present
strength. No animal ought to be ex.
pected to work on an empty stomach
But light feed before an extra hard
Job is better than loading the stomach
with more than it requires.

TIE RraYesf Are the Tenderest

That the "bravest are the tenderest'
was once more demonstrated in the
fight at Santiago Bay. Captain Phil
ip of the Texas made a dash for the
Spanish ships the moment they put
their noses out Of the harbor. When
the yellow and red flag was pulled
down on the Almirante Oquendo, the
commander Of the Tevas gave the or
der to his men: Don't cheer, because
the poor devils are dying" The di-
rection was as chivalrous as it was

Flowing in Summer.

If there is ever time when deep
blowing is advisable it is in summer, es-
pecially if some green manure can be
turned under the furrow. This will
heat rapidly in hot weather, and the
gases from its fermentation rising
through the soil will mellow 1t more
than can be done by the most thorough
cultivation when such land is deep
plowed in spring. In fact, most spring
blowing ought to be very shallow, as
the air is not warm enough to warm
through a deep furrow, and, therefore,
if vegetation is then deeply plowed in 1t
rots very slowly.

poultry growing. The cows would fur
nish manure to keep part of the land
in very high state of cultivation, and
the skim-1nilk given to drink, used to
mix the dough or made into curd for
young fowls, would furnish excellent
food for them. If one or two acres of
land could be devoted to potatoes all

should go into poultry, or kinds they
should keep, each one must determine

for breeding purposes, but this will re-
