DENOUNCED AS TRAITORS.



Cincinnati, Sept. 2.--There has been
considerable comment over Editor
Murat Halstead's lecture before the
Economic club, on the Philippines.
After the lecture Mr. Halstead was
piled with questions, and one man said:
II hope Otis will be kept in and will
keep on laundering till he and the
whole army are driven into the sea OF
captured"
Mr.. Haistead promptly replied: "a
man with those sentiments is traitor
to his country"
Several men jumped up and remarked
that two-thirds of the audience felt as
did their fellow member, whereupon
Mr.. Halstead replied: whoever
thinks that way is traitor" There
was rush of maddened men with
raised fists toward Mr.. Halstead, but
the advice OF coolies heads prevailed
and no blood was spilled, though chairs
and seats were upset, and for a few
moments 1t looked as though there
would be a riot

Troublesome Jerusalem.

People often ask how it is that the
future of Palestine presents such diff
ficulties. The reason is simply that Je-
rusalem-you cannot separate Jerusa-
lem from Pa!estine-is the sacred city
of so many creeds and warning faiths.
Not only is it the holy place of all the
Christian churches, and two of them
quarrel bitterly over 1.-THE Greek and
the Latins-but it is also one of. the
most sacred places in the Mohammedan
world. Mecca and Medina are hardly
more sacred than the Mosque of Omar.
That is a fact which is often ignored by
Europeans, who forget that to turn the
Mohammedans out of the temple in
closure would disturb the whole Mos
lem world from the Straits Settlements
to Albania. We must never forget that
Mohammedan pilgrims from India visit
Jerusalem just as Christian pilgrims
visit it from Europe. Lastly, Jerusa-
lem is profoundly sacred to the Jews,
and the Jews are beginning to be local.

Eastwood AND BEES.
Abundance of Food for the
HOncy-Makers.

Beekeepers will find it profitable to
plan for and prepare bee pastures, says
an exchange. Those who have had
either the good fortune to be located
where Eastwood or linden trees are
plentiful, or have the patience to await
the development of this tree, have
found that they furnish an abundance
of food for the bee to manufacture into
honey. The tree is beautiful one and
may we'll be planted as an ornament.
Small trees can be procured from the
forest or from nurseries that handle
forest trees, and planted in the fall in
some desirable location for a grove.
The larger ones are said to thrive bet
ter. The blossoms are small, of a
light yellow color, and rather pretty.
The honey is secreted in the inner side
of the thick, aeshy petals. When it is
profuse it will sparkle like dewdrops,
if cluster of blossoms is held up to
the sunlight There has been recorded,
where Eastwood trees were abundant,
an instance of a single hive storing 43
pounds of honey in three days.

well together.
II the fowls have bowel diseasechange
the food for day or two and also
change the grit.
Roup is so contagious that on it's first
appearance the only safe plan is to
take away all affected fowls.
Feathers on the legs, large combs and
warts and heavy crests do not add any
thing to the egg production.
When the weather is cold the eggs
should be gathered up frequently, or
they cannot be depended upon to hatch.
Put an old cock, not over two years,
with the laying pullets, and fully ma
tured, well developed young one with
the old hen.
Iron is invigorating, stimulating and
assists in guarding the system from
disease. A deficiency ofit in the sys-
tenn causes weakness.
Do not throw the scraps from the
table to the poultry after each meal.

them warm for morning meal. Cook
them in milk, if possible.-St. Louis Re

PIGEON HOUSE AND YARD.

most desirable Accomplishments to
rural life.
Where pigeons are kept it is too
often the practice to house them in
some low loft under the caves, where
it is inconvenient to visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglect.
If possible it is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in separate building. The pigeon
house may we'll be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion is given.
This represents small and mex
pensive house built in attractive lines
and thoroughly suited to the purpose
for which it is intended. A small hall
way runs through the center, giving &C.
cess to q commodious room on each
side. A flight" on either end of the
house opens out from these two lofts.
Such a little house; stained and COW
cred with vines, will make very at
tractive addition to any country place,
and will do much toward getting the
children in love with country life and
interested in the companionship of an
imals. Such a result will prove bene-
ficial in all ways, and the influence will
remain a lasting impression through
life.-American Agriculturist.

CRATE FOR SHIPPING HONEY.

sides are nailed on the inside Of the
frame, forming two panels which make
a convenient hand-hold by which to
pick it up. 1t is impossible to pick the
case up by any of the other sides, and
this keeps the crate in such position
that the section always stands on edge.
This crate is designed to hold two
cases of sections, about so or 60 pounds
of honey, but may be made of any de-
sired size. 1t is little larger inside
than the outside of the cases. and the
space between may be packed with ex-
celsior or other suitable material to
help relieve the jar. When loaded in a
car, the crates should be set down so
that the sections are parallel with the
sides of the car, as they are less liable
to damage in transit. After all. the

PROFIT m POULTRY.
Hatch Chickeas without the
Aid OF lncubators.

The farmer who raises more than 100
chickens cannot afford to hatch them
with hens. The average farmer should
arrange with his wife and girls to
hatch as many chickens as can be cared
for during the coming season. The
farmer has every advantage as poul-
try raiser over the man who makes
speciality Of it. He produces nearly ev-
erything that is needful in the way of
feed and can provide shelter for an un-
usually large number very cheaply by
making straw houses or other make
shifts for temporary use.
Where this plan is followed incuba-
tors and brooders are used to greatest
advantage. These machines have been
so nearly perfected that a boy OF girl
Of average intelligence can care for
them without difficulty. The children
take an interest in such things and soon
learn how to operate them perfectly.
and once this knowledge is acquired the
presence of an incubator or two is cause
for very little extra work.
When an incubator is used the chicks
all come out at one time, and. being Of
one age, have an equal chance to grow
up. 1t is no more trouble to take care
of 100 chickens in good brooder than
it is to watch an old hen with three
chickens. An incubator is much easier
to care for than a lot of sitting hens, and
it is reliable in every way. It does not
get tired of sitting and strike, nor does
it get fussy and scratch a lot of valuable
eggs into heterogeneous mass of shell.
contents and nest material.
A sewing machineis considered indis-
pensable and to go without a moving
machine is to be very far behind the
times. The man who would make his
poultry most profitable must use an in
cubator and breeders in order to derive
the greatest profits from his flock.
These machines are cheaper than ever
and better than ever. No class of ma
chinery has been improved to greater
extent than these and they are now so
perfect, that the old claim that "a child
can operate them" is literally true

Food Value Of an Esq.

Six large eggs will weigh about one
pound. AS flesh producer, one pound
of eggs is equal to one pound of beef.
About one-third of the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment, which is more than
can be said Of meat. There are no
bones and tough pieces that have to be
laid aside. Practically an egg is ami
NAL food; and yet there is none of the
disagreeable work of the butcher neces'
sary to obtain it. Eggs average prices
are amongthe cheapest and most nutri.

is complete food in itself, containing ev-
erything that is necessary for the de.
velopment of perfect animal. 1t is
also easily digested, if not damaged in
cooking.-Presbyteri Banner.

Then he perambulated Regent street
