MY LADY NICOTINE.
The Alleged Effects of Tobacco and
Itn Enormous Consumption.

The Alleged Effects of Tobacco and
Its Enormous Consumption.
Probably no pleasure of life has had
its praises so much sung as smoking.
Here is the other side. Doctors say
tobacco used in excess produces:
Palpitation of the heart, muscular
tremblings, weakness and paralysis of
the legs, dizziness of the head, noises
in the ears, cold perspiration all over
the body. colicky pains in the stomach,
inability to exert the mind, congested
and sore throat, burning of the tongue,
dry and parched mouth, tartar and
blackness of the teeth, confusion of
sight, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the throat and nose, sallow complex
ion, very bad dyspepsia, lopsided
mouth, nervous anxiety, cancer of the
lips, diminished appetite, pale ard
an9mic gums, loss of memory, oHlis-
sion of every fifth pulse beat, ruin of
the will power, irritability of temper,
extreme and incurable melancholy, rest
lessness and sleeplessness, blindness and
deafness, apoplexy and paralysis, con-
vulsions and death.
In the case of children it stunts their
growth, when a person is consumptive
it hastens his death, when the heart is
weak it almost completely stops the
beating, when you have a cough tobac-
co keeps it going for weeks, and it in
terferes with singing and swallowing.
Yet about 1900, 100000 pounds Of
it are smoked every year. New York

Chaffee came along and called to him,
well, you're a fine soldier!" Then he
looked at the boyish face of the kid,
and his face softened. II suppose you

After a while the order came to re-

to collar that kid and haul him away
by the neck to get him to retreat with
his company. And at that he'd got a
bullet through the f1eshy part of his

Sung each nursery song.
In the mellow lamplight
flushed their voices all,
Whilst they watch me making
Shadows on the WALL
Through the happy silence
Rings their laughter low
AS upon the wall there
Shadows come and 20.
Nurse, unseen, unhee6ed.

Whilst the children voices
Plead for just one morei
One by one they leave ma

Seeing in the twilight
Shadows OF my own,

Till from heart to eyelids
Tears, unbidden, rise.

Only some are f1eeting

Floors For Henhouses.

A henhouse floor should never be
made of boards. There will be sure to
be some cracks between them, and when
the droppings fall upon them and keep
these cracks moist they make the best
possible breeding place for lice Rather
than have board floors we would have
one with earth, underlaid with stone to
secure drainage, and covered with sifted
coal ashes to receive the droppings from
the roosts The most satisfactory of all
floors is one of cement This will not
rot out like board or plank pillow, and
it will not have cracks to encourage the
breeding of vermin. On cement floor
under the roosts no litter should be al
lowed. Thus the excretions may be kept
free from matter that cannot be rotted
down, and if put into large box with
sifted coal ashes sprinkled over them
they will be rotted down by spring, so
as to be in good condition for drilling
with grain or for sprinkling in the
rows where early peas are planted.
There is nothing better to give peas a
vigorous start early. 1t will also make
them several days earlier, and thus Sc
cure for them better price. Boston

Water For Fowls.

If food is not furnished the hen in
her own domain, she will go hunting
and soon find enough to keep her busy,
but she is not so successful in getting
water to drink. The farmer or his wife
will usually provide some feed, but
"biddy'' many times takes her chances
to find water. Yet chemists state that
"a per cent of the egg is water. In view
of this fowls to lay well must be fur
nished with an abundance of fresh wa
ter. Drinking vessels should be thor
oughly cleansed every day, and if posi-
BILE so made that the hens cannot stand
in them. In winter these drinking YES
sells should be emptied at night to pre-
vent freezing 1t is advisable to give
fowls warm drink in the morning when
they first come from the roosts, as at
this time they usually drink freely. If
you will practice this, the hens will
come for water as quickly as for feed.

POULTRY POINTERS.
Something About the Different
Breeds and Their Culture.

Something About the Different
Breeds and Their Culture.
Diverted fowls do not lay we'll and in
the larger breeds especially are more
liable to apoplexy.
For poultry dry, gravelly spot is
necessary to healthful conditions.
The Spanish white Leghorns and
Minorcas all lay large, white eggs and
are nonsetters
In feeding all kinds of small grain at
noon scatter it among litter and let the
hens scratch it cut.
Guineas are good layers, and their
flesh is a combination of the turkey and
the pheasant.
Neatsfoot oil is said to be better than
kerosene for many of the ills of fowls
because it is less irritating.
If the hens get too fat, feeding with
oats for few days will soon reduce
them.
While sound oats are egg producing
better results will be secured by alter
mating them with wheat bran.
Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish, Anda-
lusians and Hamburgs are the fowls
with the big egg producing records, but
they are not the best table fowls.
A fowl that is inclined to fatten rap
idly is rarely good layer. The flesh it
carries makes it lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Even in winter it is best to change
the material in the nests occasionally.
Scald out the drinking vessels regu-
larly at least once week
Rolled oats or pinhead oatmeal is an
excellent food to start chicks on After
the first week change gradually to
cracked wheat.
There are two advantages in the large
breeds-they are easily confined and
when ready for market they bring more
on account of their weight.
Rapid eating is one of the worst evils
in young fowls. Wet meal is thrown to
them, they gorge themselves until sur
feited and then die.
Mark the chickens each year SO that
you can know their age. Kill or sell
them after the third year.

try. 1t is not only expensive, but un-
healthful.
When feeding grain to hens, spatter
it. This not only keeps the greedy hens
from securing more than their share,
but compels all to hunt for it.
Turkeys are capable of rapid diges-
ton and are apparently always hungry.
If allowed to forage they can be kept at
small expense, if confined they will eat
more than hens.
One advantage of the woven wire
fence is that it need not be SO high as
fences made of other material For some
reasons fowls will rarely try to fly over
it.
Too much stimulating food causes
over egg production. The result from
such treatment will be poor Matching,
weak chickens and inferior fowls. A
good variety of sound, nourishing food
is much better. st. Louis Republic.

solve one pound of salt in gallon of

Walls Is ACQUITTED
Under the Courts Instructions
TO the Jury.
NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
On Which to Base a Verdict
of Guilty

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 16.-Upon the ad-
vice of Judge Burford, the jury in the
Logan county district court this after
noon acquitted Representative ]. c.
Walls of Cleveland county of the charge
Of attempted bribery preferred by Sena-
:or Frank A. Hutto OF Payne county.
Senator Hutto was the only witness
aainst Walls. He testified that the
Cleveland county representative offered
him SIS if he would advance the phar-
nacq bill to third reading
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Burford advised them that the evidence
did not support the allegation in the in
dictment, inasmuch as the pharmacy bill
was in committee and money was not Of
fered to influence the complaining wit
ness vote in the council. Again, Walls
language. at testified to by Mr.. Hutto,
did not necessarily imply an attempt at
bribery. Walls had told Hutto: There
viii be something in it, if the bill was
advanced, and this, in the COURTS opin-
ion, might as easily have meant money
for Walls himself as for Hutto
Judge Burford dismissed the second
case against Walls, in which he was ac-
cused by Hutto of offering 500 to advance
the quarantine bill, without a hearing,
the county attorney stating that the evi-
dence was similar to that in the first
case.
