RANGE FOR TURKEYS.
The Birds should Not Ne Confined, Es-
cept a Few Weeks Before They
- Are to BE Sold.

The turkey is fowl that has been
least time domesticated by man. The
Indians never tried to tame them, and it
is considerably less than 300 years since
any attempt was made to domesticate
this bird. One result of the wild nature
of the turkey is that it will not bear
to be confined. Even the domestic hen
will not be SO good mother to the
turkeys in their later stages as the
turkey hen. She will take long jaunts
in the fields catching grasshoppers and
other insects, and when frost loosens
the beechnuts on the trees the turkey
hen will take her brood to the woods
and live on what was in their wild state
the main feed of the turkey during
winter. A beechnut diet gives the tur-
key better flavor than any other food.
Buekwheat, which is an angular grain
like the beechnut, is, perhaps, the next
best grain for turkeys, but it lacks the
oil with which the beechnut abounds.
When turkeys are put up to fatten,
which is the only time they should be
confined, it is worth while to mix a
few beechnuts with their feed. This
will keep the other food from caking in
their crops, and enable the turkey to
fatten faster, besides improving the
flavor of their flesh. To have good
favored meat the turkeys must be kept
from indigestion. which always creates
fever. For this reason the fattening of
turkeys must usually be completed in
ten days to two weeks after they have
been confined in a dark place where
they can do nothing but eat.-American
Cultivator.

killing on Young Boosters.

The great plague of the beginner in
poultry. whose object is to produce the
greatest number of eggs, is the large
proportion of non-layers that are found
in every flock that were spring hatched.
1t is. we think. the rule that later
matches have still larger proportion
of cockerels. But be they few or many,
all except the one or two that are to be
kept for breeders should be killed and
marketed when of broilcr size. Their
sex can then be determined easily by
anyone used to poultry, and in the late
summer the broiler will sell for eating
for as much money as it would bring
when fully grown. besides saving the
feed and care required to keep until
thai time.-American Cultivator.

The Flavor os Exr..

A vast difference exists in the flavor
Of eggs. Hens fed on clear, sound grain
and kept on clean grass run. give
much finer product than fowls that
have access to stable and manure heaps
and all kinds of filthy food. Hens feed
ing on fish and onions flavor their eggs
accordingly. just as cows eating onions
or cabbage and drinking offensive wa
ter impart bad taste to the milk and
butter. The richer the food. the higher
the color of the eggs. Wheat and corn
give eggs the best color.-Rural World.

winter,ne Bees in Cellars.

An experiment is reported from Can
ada in wintering bees in which the
hives were placed six inches from the
floor and protected with piece of old
wooden carpet placed under the wooden
cover. When placed in the cellar each
colony had 80 pounds of honey, which
proved more than sufficient for the win
ter, and all thu hives wintered success
fully. The temperature of the cellar,
shown by self-registering thermom-
eter, remained steadily between 40 and
so degrees Fahrenheit.

down the path he dashed at full speed.
Just where this path emerged from
the orchard and joined the road sat
Hetty Marvin with her dog, Towser,
tending the bleaching of the household
linen.
In those days the long web of 40 yards
or more used to be diligently spun and
woven during the winter months, and
whitened in the spring. The task of
bleaching usually, for economy's sake,
fell to the lot of the younger daughters
of the household, who were not old
enough to spin or weave, nor strong
enough for the work of the kitchen or
dairy.

grassy spot beside spring or running
brock. Here it was thoroughly wetted
amt spread upon the green turf to be
whitened by the rays of the sun by day
and the moisture of the dew by night.
It was the duty of whoever was in
charge to turn the fabric as occasion re-
quired, and occasionally to sprinkle it
with water-not an onerous task, al
though one that required faithfulness
and patience.
AS Hetty was sitting, this May day,
near the linen, her mothers cousin, the
governor, suddenly sprang past her into
the road.
The child was startled by this sudden
shock, and by the look of desperation
on the fugitive's face, but quickly real
lied his danger, and at once quieted

The pursuers did not wait to soothe
or to question her farther. They had,
as they supposed, obtained the informa-
ton they needed. They wheeled their
horses, and dashed off down the east
road to the river.
Near the shore the boat was in wait
ing for the governor, and in it were his
two faithful friends, for they had seen
the signal in the attic window.
But now they caught sight of the
pursuing party as they dashed down the
road, and the British officers uniform
told them who the party were.
The Tories reached the shore in time
to see the boat as it was hurriedly rowed
out to sea, and as there were two men
in it, supposed their intended victim
had escaped, and so they relinquished
pursuit.
Meanwhile, Gov. Griswold lay safe
and quiet where Hetty had hidden him,
until the time came for her to return to
the house for supper.
Then he babe her ask her mother to
set the light in the attic window as soon
as it was dark, and to send him some
supper.
That night he made his way to the
shore in safety, found the boat again in
waiting, and after time rejoined his
family in a home secure from his enc
miles,,
A little daughter, whom he found had
been born to him during his absence, he
named Hetty Marvin, in grateful re-
membrance of his preserver.-Yo Youths

THE FOX INQUEST.

Coroner Phil Julien investigated the
death of Patrick Fog last night. Fox was
killed by a fall of rock in the Bell mine
Monday night. The evidence was to the
effect that a blast had been discharged
on the fourth fioor of the 1000, and that a
man had been sent to clear away the
debris. Fox was shoveling on the floor
below. A rock weighing about 700
pounds, which had been displaced by the
blast, rested on the timbers, apparently
safe. Suddenly it gave way. and raining
on Fox, killed him instantly.
The jury returned a verdict to the ef-
feet that the accident was unavoidable. :

THE DAY NURSERY.
How the Little Tots Are
Cared For at the Peo-
ple's Palace.

There is probably no institution In tAe
city further reaching in its influence for
good than the Peoples Palace Day Nur-
sery. and this year shows a marked in
crease IN the number of children cared
for as we'll as a marked Improvement in
their condition when brought to the nur-
sery.
The fact that the first law OF the m
stitution is cleanliness and the average
child's initiation is a bath. has created ~
the mothers desire to make TINS step
unnecessary, and many of the. babes are
brought to Miss Nita l.. Stewart, the
matron, dalntily clothed in white ines
white dresses are removed and the young
sters put in gingham aprons kept on
hand for the purpose, and the children
are allowed to tumble about at will
The children range in age from two or
three weeks to seven years. and MISS
Stewart now has several children with
her who have been in the nursery during
their entire existence of three or -FOUR
years, According to the natural bright
ness of the child he is sent to the Whit
tier House Kindergarten at three or four
years. The younger children are kept in
the nursery where there is large play
room well equipped with toys.
A short time ago cloud hung OVERTIME
nursery. 1t was in danger of closing for
the need of sufficient funds wherewith to
run it during the summer months, but
recently donations warranting its maln-
tenance during the hot weather have
been received and working mothers will
be happy to know that with the excep-
ton of August, their babies will still be
cared for at the Nursery.
During the past month the Nursery mas
supported three hundred children, which
is an increase of at least fifty on any
previous month. The average attendance
is twelve per day, but this morning there
we've thirteen, seven of whom being over
-four. were taken on an outing to Nut
lev in company with the children from
the Whittier House Kindergarten.
All the youngsters are well and happy,
showing the excellent care of the matron,
Miss Stewart, and several prove their
affection by calling her Mammal! The
children are brought to the Nursery after
seven in the morning, where they re-
main until seven In the evening.

FUN FOR WEIGHT INSPECTOR
Merchants Will Soon Test the
Constitutionality of the
s. Act.

The Merchants Protective Association
met at the Avenue House last night.
Isaac Meyer, pharmacist, of No 2Il Cen
tral avenue, and Mrs. E. May, grocer, OF
No. 26 Spruce street, were elected mem
bers. DR.. Holloway was initiated as a
member. K
Joseph E. Bernstein, chairman of the
committee appointed to inquire into the
advisability of amalgamating the various
Improvement and business mems assocla-
ton into one body said he would probably
have a statement to make at the next
meeting.
Secretary J. Wallace Black said that In
spector and Sealer of Weights, Measures
and Scales was beginning to make his
rounds in upper section of Hudson City,
and asked for Information as to what he
should do when Mr.. Roede called. The
association in March last decided TO test
the constitutionality of the ordinance
prescribing the inspectors duties and
fixing the penalties for those who refused
to nav the inspector his fees. AT that
time, on the advice of counsel, the mem
bers were instructed to refuse payment
of the inspectors fees, and were promised
the financial assistance of the association
in case of an appeal Any member prose
cuted by the inspector will be defended
by Lawyer Joseph Anderson, counsel for
the association.
Ex-Presldent William G. Meyer re-
gretted the efforts to stay the hand OF
Mayor Hoos in trying to compel the Hud-
son Telephone Company to pay proper
franchise tax. He also regretted that the
Mayors efforts to prevent the appoint
ment of Ferris, Bowly and Hall as engi-
neers of the new water works would
prove of no avail.
MIR. Meyer said it was evident that these
matters were cut and dried, and il wotld
be we'll for the association to consider
whether the members of the Street an
Water Board were really the people
representatives. and if not they should be
dealt with accordingly
Joseph f. Bernstein brought up the
subject of issuing licenses to circus peo-
pie on Saturdays. He did not think 1t
should be permitted. It was more or less
disastrous to business men, he said, who
depend upon Saturdays especially to make
up for dullness of trade on other week
days, and bring up the receipts to the
weeks usual full volume. He had ta1ke1
with other merchants on the subject and
felt sure that they felt as he did on the
subject and were opposed to the practice.
He said Mayor Hoos had expressed the
same opinion before he was elected
Mayor.
Mr. Bernstein said that indiscriminate
parading of organizations through the
streets on Saturday nights ought to be
stopped as it over-crowded the streets
and initiated against the merchants. At
tention of the authorities to these matters
will be brought through a committee IN
sisting of j. E. Bernstein A. F.. lie Rcy,
Robert Anderson, ]. Wallace Black and
James Firdlay.
