The fowls of a farmer in Erie Coun-
ty, n. Y, have combs which look as
if frozen and some with eyes entirely
closed. The sores seem to be what is
known to poultrymen as sorehead.
It comes on usually in summer OF
fall and is a very troublesome maIady
in some seasons. It begins suddenly
or may not be noticed until it has pro-
crossed to a severe case with one or
both eyes closed. To me it seems
like a cold brought on by dampness
or close and damp roosting rooms, and
it may be aggravated by taking the
young birds at a time when somewhat
weakened by feather growing. Atten-
ton to the sleeping apartments and
prevention Of crowding are of the first
importance and then careful attention
TO the diet should carry Il flock past
the dangerous season without an at
tack, or so mild a one as TO he con
sidered of little importance.
When a few are attacked they can
be treated with sulphate of copper So
luton, ounce in half a pint OF water,
or ever stronger han this may he
used once or twice daily. CampAor-
ated oil is one of the best things to
treat the sore places, as the oil softens
up the scabs and removes them easily.
Tiucture of camphor will also cure the
sores, but the oil will cause less pain
to the birds. Hege has found several
articles, treatment with which result
ed in cures, either by his general care,
providing comfortable quarters and
dieting the bird, or the following arti-
Giles, or both. Axle grease, carholi2ed
vaseline, iodine, b|uestone or copper
sulphate, water E. Emory, of the

II the saloon exists in your city, 1t is too
close to you home.
In Germany drink leads to 1900 cases of
suicide a year. and supplies the insane asy-
lums with 5000 victims.
No nation OF barb6rians in all the annals
of time ever had 3 law or custom as In
iquitous us the liquor revenue system Of
the United States.
A drunken debauch and an overturned
lamp caused Il couflagration in Dawson,
the klondlke capital, destroying millions
OF dollars worth OF property. This is the
second time within II few weeks that a
drunken trollc has laid i 4 ashes this city.
BY its internal revenue law the general
Government conspires with the liquor traf-
nc to plumber, pauperize and kill n hun
bred thousand Of its citizens every year for
a share of the gain.
1t is a noteworthy fact that, while the
more boisterous form of intern perance IN
Englani leads to private brutality and
public disorder, the Continental system of
small dram drinking before meals In the
shape of tones n appetizers, leads to In
sanity.
DR.. Rogers, of one OF the leading life in

HER HAND GUIDED BY PRAYER.
Young Woman Receivers a Package OF
Money Lost While shopping.

A small package picked up in stephen
Morrfs's store In Northport, /. l., the other
day by James Brewster, a clerk, contained
two $50 bank notes and one for 50. On
sunday morning a young woman called
upon brewster and described the package
and contents and asked him If he had heard
OF it being found in the store, The clerk
gave it TO her. The young woman was
very happy over the recovery OF the money.
She said that she was keeping the two htty
dollar notes for a friend, and that the other
was her own.
She said that after discovering the loss
of tho money she knelt In prayer and asked
that it should fall into honest hands. Then
she put the names of the three stores she
had visited on that day on pieces OF pape.
and closing her eyes asked that her hand
be guided TO the one containing the name
OF the store where she had lost the money
When she opened her eyes she held the
piece OF paper containing the name OF Nor
ris's store. As she could not find Mr.. Nor
ris she buried to the home OF the clerk.
The young woman is stopping with Mrs.
james Leonard, at East Northport.

PARIS PLOT THAT FAILED.

LONDON (By Cable).-A dsspa.cl to the
Daily News from Paris says that the at
tack on VI. Laborl was only the tail OF the
storm which would have sw9pt over Rsn-
mes had the plot that was hatchel in Paris
succeeded.
The plot was no laughing matter. 1t was
to have rlpenei into revolutionary demon
STATIONS on the boulevards. The conspira-
tors were to make bontlres OF the Drey-
fusite newspapers in the streets aud burn
the booths where they were sold. This
would nave resulted in the calling out OF
the troops. The latter, however, were to
reverse arms and refuse to act. After this
some cavalry were to help the movement.
Members Of the League OF Patriots were
to rush to the Republican and Sociallstit
newspaper offices, seizs their stats aud
hold them prisoners. simultaneously
rushes were to be on the Palace OF the
Elysee, and the Ministers OF the Interior
and Posts aud TeieSraphs. when news
would have been wired to the provinces
that Paris had revoited. A War Minister
nominated by the DIXIE OF Orleans was tc
replace General de Gallitfet,
Two days previous to the intended exc.
cution OF the plot, NJ. Lerine, Project OF
Police, re ceived full information regarding
it. The conspirators are now under ar

.DREYFUgS COUNSEL Shot
Profound Sensation Caused in France

was shot while on his way to the Lycee,
where the court-martial is sitting.
Colonel Picqulrt and a friend were with
him and they were crossing the bridge at
the entrance of the Lycee at SD o'clock
a. m. when a young man apparently about
twenty-five years old, fired from behind tho
fence. NJ. Labor fell, the bullet striking
him below the shoulder.
Colonel Picquart and the other man pur-
sued the assailant for a long distance.
They were unable to ovirtake him, but
traced HIN to n small patch Of woods uear-
ly three mi es away where the trail was
lost.
After NJ. Labori's removal to his home
the doctors issued an official bulletin saw
ing that the bullet had penetrate the pos
terror region of the thorax on the right
side, between the Attn and sixth dorsal
vertebrR.
The shot may o. may not have besn the
result of a plot. The friends OF Dreyfus
are inclined to believe that the enemies of
the famous pri'oner planned the attack,
while others hold that the would-be muir
derer is an anarchist.
Labor not only Is al able counsel, but it
is said he has In his possession informa-
tfon that may lead to the arrest of several
ex-Ministers. Because of this many per-
sons hold that the man who shot Labor
was simply the h%ireling of men high in the
councils of France
What the antt-Dreyfus partisaus most
dreaded was NJ. Labori's c~ross-examlna-
tion OF their witnesses, which was to have
been his CHIEF function at the trial. 1t Is
well known that his examination OF Generai
Mercier would have been merciless.
1t Is assumed by most persons that the

bori. 1t is %Plcquart's testimony which the
army conspirators and ali of the haters OF
Dreytus dread most. He will inevitably
expose much of the vast iniquity of which
Dreyfus Is the victim. and could his mouth
be closed, there is still IL possibility for
some of the exalted villains to escape the
obloquy which they deserve.
