USE OFF THE FRANKLIN FUND.
Part of the Money to BE Devoted to tn,
Erection of q Public Forum.


Boston. Sept. 1.-THE Franklin Fund, which
now amounts to about 100000 and which
representa- with interest the result OF beuuest
OF 1000 pounds sterling which was left to tho
city OF Boston by Benjamin Franklin in 1901. Is
to be expended. The full vote of the Alder
men 10 needed as yet but plan has been
preached and accepted by the sub-commit tee
to use one-half OF the sum for the erection OF q
public building which shall have hall to be
used for public forum. The other half OF the
fund Is to be spent for the extension OF Mayor
Quincy's bath and gymnasium schemes.
Tho public building Is to he known as the
Franklin Building" and it will be built in the
South End. 1: is planned to have various lee
ture rooms In 1t and to carry on courses OF lee
lures on trade subjects. The original idea OF
the fund as left by DIR. Franklin was for the
erection OF a trade school. When this PROPOSE
ton was advanced by the committee two years
ago. all the labor bodies protested and the
Aldermen were forced to retreat. having gone
so far as to secure plot Of land for the build
ing The trades union men objected to boys
receiving instruction at trades unless under
their direct tuition as apprentices.

The Causes of Chicken Diseases.

Nearly all of the diseases of chick
ems, summer or winter, can be put
under one or two classes: inherited or
caused by unnatural conditions of
food. If we classify them thus broadly
it may simplify matters for some so
they can more intelligently stamp
them ont.
The first class some time in the re.
mote past must have been under the
second class; that is, all OF the dis
eases that could be traced back to un-
natural or unfavorable conditions of
food. But that was so long ago that
we must take cognizance of the in
herited diseases. These are quite
numerous, and it is difficult to stamp
them out. The only sure way to do
it is to breed from chickens that have
no taint of inherited disease about
them. The time must soon come when
poultry raisers will pay more atten-
ton to this sub, ect. At present we
raise chickens with little regard 10
the health of their ancestors. Often
the eggs are obtained from sources
that are not well known. That is. the
chickens will be cracked up as being
first class so far as pedigree and breed
go, but little is said about the dis
eases that have been acquired and are
now hereditary. We must inquire
into this question in purchasing breed
ing hens or eggs.
A disease that is transmitted down
through one generation to another of
chickens is just as apt to become epi-
demic as any which attack cattle or
human beings. The best and about
the only way to stamp out contagious
or inherited disease is to destroy nil
the creatures that show symptoms of
it,and then breed carefully from those
that do not have it,
The other wide class OF chicken dis.
ga 'es, which includes many of the in
hei tied and epidemic ones, comes
from causes that can generally be
remedied. Filth. dirt, unnatural
food and surroundings renerally, es-
pecially in winter. are tho primary
causes Of these diseases. Roup may

The growth of young trees and
weeds on land newly cleared is not
readily explained, but the United
States division of forestry offers the
following: Sunlight is necessary in
order that most plants germinate and
grow. Plants like the poplar and
the Canada thistle seed profusely
and the floor of forests, in regions
where these plants grow, is annually
covered with countless numbers of
seeds, largely brought there by the
wind. The dense growth of the for
est prevents the seed from growing.
When the trees are cut down, the sun
light enables the seeds on the ground
to germinate and grow into thrifty
plants. The ripe fruits of cherry and
elder are eaten by birds, and the hard
seeds are scattered over large arrears.
As the young plants are unable to
grow in dense shade, they do not ap-
pear until after the forest has been
cut down OF otherwise destroyed.

Two Striking Garments.

A long cloak that might answer for
either driving or travelling wrap is
made of cheviot and is reversible.
The plaid OF the reverse is let in on
the sleeves and across the bust and
appears as the cuff and pocket lapels.
The garments further decorated with
bands of black cloth upon which are
seen row after row of stitching. Small
straps are buttoned across the front as
fastenings.
The velvet three-quarters length
coat OF rich chocolate hue is worthy
consideration. 1t is beautifully dec
Grated with an embroidery of black
silk cord and of black lace applique
under which is an underground of fur.
This form of trimming appears as well
on the small shoulder cape, and on the
wide rolling revers and collar. The
