Not a whisky.

When the bishop of New York was
once making visitation at Goshen, one
of the vestrymen, who had pair of
Hambletonians, INDUCED the bishops
fondness for fine horses by allowing
him to drive the pair. Bishop Potter
was well covered with dust when he
drew up at country inn. Stepping
into the Office, which was also the bar,
the bishop approached the counter and
said to the man in attendance: "Would
you kindly give me a whisk, sir?" The
man looked confused, more especially
because of the unmistakable cut of the
ecclesiastic's clothes, and he replied,
with some diffidence: "Really, doctor,
we daren't sell liquor on Sunday" It
was soon explained that the bishop only
wanted a whisk broom to brush his
dusty broadcloth.-N. Y. Tribune.

AN AMATEUR PIRATE.
Aaj.Stede Bonnet Turned from Farms.
ing to FreebO0ting and Became
A Greedy RObber. ~ : r-5

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetown, in the island of
Barbados, very pleasant, middle-aged
gentleman named Maj. Stede Bonnet.
HE was man in comfortable circum-
lstances and had been an officer in the
british army. He had retired from mill
itary service, and had bought an estate
at Bridgetown, where he lived in COM
tort and was respected by his neigh
bors.
But for some reason or other this
quiet and reputable gentleman got it
into his head that he should like to be a
pirate. But besides the general rea-
sons why Maj. Bonnet should not be-
come pirate, and which applied to all
men as we'll as to himself, there was
special reason against his adoption of
the profession of sea robber-he was
an out-and-out landsman and knew
nothing whatever of nautical matters.
He was fond of history and wellread in
the literature of the day. He was &C
customed to the habits of good society,
and knew good deal about farming
and horses and cows and poultry.
But Notwithstanding his absolute IN
fitness for such a life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become a pirate, and he
became one. He had enough money to
buy ship and to fit her out and man
her, and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going to do anything more than start
off on some commercial cruise. When
Everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
he was sailing safely on the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself a pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the coast
of Virginia.
Bonnet's men were practiced seamen,
and so when this 'green hand" came
into the waters of Virginia he actually
took two or three vessels and robbed

HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Injurious LnborS in Home Life and
How They May BE Avoided.

Among all the misunderstanding occupa-
tions in which the housewife may engage
none is more productive of harm than is
the back-breaking, muscle-twisting, nerve
destroying operation of washing and scrub
bing clothes upon the ordinary wash board.
The woman who stands over the tub inhal-
ing the hot, unwholeeome vapors cannot
hope to maintain good health, to say moth
ing of the effect of being confined to
STOPPING, unnatural position, which, in time,
will wreck the strongest constitution. Do
not wreck health and happiness over the
washtub in this day of washing machines.
Get the best mechanism in this line and re.
lease yourself from the CALLING slavery of
the wash-board-that instrument of domes-
tic torture which is answerable for nine
tenths of the diseases with which our wom-
ankind is cursed. Take, for example, the
Rocker Washer, which is the representative
product in this line, and compare its work
and its results with the labors Of the old
style "blue Monday" wash day. Not only
does this washer do the work in fraction
of the time consumed by the old-fashioned
methods, but it does it much more thor
oughly, the clothes being whittier, sweeter
and cleaner than could possibly be the case
were the garments cleaned by hand.
For the convenience of our readers who
realize that the highest class article in any
department of domestic equipment is not
only the most satisfactory, but in the end
is really the cheapest, VIC ould state tne
washer in question may be had from the
Rocker Washer Company, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
The woman who insists upon continuing in
the notwithstanding methods and the man
who permits such a cruel and unnecessary
sacrifice has much to answer for. When
work can be done more quickly and far bet.
ter without the slightest risk to health i
is crime to persist in what causes such
general and widespread harm. The woman
who discards the washboard for the Rocker
Washer will, at the end of the year, be
brighter, better, healthier and happier fol
the change, and could never be persuaded to
return again to the days of her degrading
and unnecessary slavery.-J. H. Meyers, M

PRACTICAL POULTRY HOUSE.

another point is that fowls will remain
outside exposed to the storms before
they will seek refuge in a dark house.
They love the light and they are par
tial to the open air if they can have
"windbreak."
With these facts impressed upon the
reader, we give design (not the best"
as there can be no best), which shows
a westinghouse and scratching shed.
1t should, be, for flock of 15 fowls,
about 10 by 90 feet, the roosting place
being by 10 feet, and the shed 8 by
12 feet. If made deeper it will be an
advantage. The roosts may be placed
along the rear or at the east side, the
house supposed to be facing the south.
1t should be feet high at the front,
and 6 or feet at the rear, tarred paper

platform with the roost over the plat.

The advantages of this house are as

but little according to locality); the
front of the shed can be inclosed with
wire netting in summer, and used as

winter, the shed serving as a wind.
break for the roosting portion when
the wind is in the west; the hens can
work and scratch under the shed in
winter, being really in the open air,
and muslin curtain (Which admits
the Light may be suspended in front
during stormy days. The floor of the
house may be of dirt, boards, or cement,
but the floor of the shed may be of
dirt, covered with cut straw, leaves, or
other litter.
1t may be claimed that we allow but
a small flock for such house, but the
way to get eggs is to give plenty OF
room. 1t is better to have few hens
that lay than to have a crowded flock
that produces nothing. The design is
of house that is simple, cheap, can be
built by almost anyone, and in some
places can be built for $40, but we give

successfu1 Egg storage.

An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried in Scotland.
At Leith last June $4,000 Scottish-Irish
and Danish eggs were sealed up in a
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
American, and were opened and eX-
amined four months afterward, and
only small proportion of the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
air is allowed to have free access around
each egg, which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period
ically, so that the rOlk Of the egg is
constantly embedded in albumen. This
is accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames, which, by the action of lever,
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way $4,000 eggs can
be turned over in minute without
any chance of hrHakage.

WEDDING OUT FLoCKS.
In No other Way Can the Standard OF
Farm Poultry He Elevated
LeEitdmately.

Wedding out the flock improves it
every year, as higher standard will
result. By an observation of the in
dividuals much can be learned, says
Mirror and Farmer. The good hens
become pets, and pride in their indi.
vidual excellence on the part of the
owner results. The young stock will
be Matched only from the best produc-
ers, instead of from eggs taken indis-
criminately from the egg basket. No
farmer who will carefully Gull out the
drones need depend on breeders to pro-
duce breeds for him. Pure breeds
should be used, however, and especial
ly pure-bred males. Even with the
choicest stock the matter of selection
should not be overlooked. There are
drones and idlers in aristocratic flocks
as well as in the flocks of low degree.
There is room for improvement in
every direction. The object should be
to impress upon poultrymen and farm
ers the Importance of close scrutiny
of the stock, and to teach the fact that
a profitable flock can be made up OF
what may look like unpromising ma
terial.

CHEAP POULTRY HOUSE.
A Servicenble Design Showing Com
Portable Quarters, ROOst House
and Scratching Shed.

No one cam give a design of poultry
house that will be acceptable to all for
the reason that ideas differ regarding
poultry houses, as they do of dwelling
houses. The kind of poultry house to
be constructed depends upon the cost
or rather how much one is willing
to invest in it. A person. can have any
luxury preferred if he is willing to pay
for it.
But how much room can one get at
the lowest cost? A poultry house
should have, first of all, the most room
possible on the floor. it should be ven-
tilated without draughts of air, and 1T
should be warm in winter and cool in
summer. The size depends upon the
number of fowls in the flock. Bear in
mind that while a house may afford a
roosting place for large lot of fowls,
yet the main point is to afford plenty
of room for exercising in winter, and

TRAINING THE VOICE.
of Utternnce, In Speech OF
Song, Is N Mark of Culture in
All Good Society.

Aristotle said: ut is not only nee
essary to have something to say, it is
also necessary to know how 20 say it,"
A well-trained voice is mark of cul-
ture in all refined society. This is as
true in speech as in song; the same
principles govern both, but are even
more important in relation to speech.
Song implies a distinct art, whereas
speech is universal. Modern civiliza-
ton eXacts purity of speech and dis
tlnct articulation, but
IT'S not enough the voice be sound and
clear,
'Tis incubation that most charms the ear.
Sir Morrell Mackenzie says: 1T is
mistake to think that speaking requires
no special training and exercise. Even
in ordinary conversation speaking is an
art, and a difficult one" Fer the club
woman and the woman of society not
to specially cultivate the speaking OF
conversational voice is tc handicap
them with C defect wholly unnecessary,
A well-modulated voice may be ac-
quired il sdult life, but the preferable
period of requirement is in childhood
and youth.
The generality of mothers are not
awake to the beauty of utterance. If
they were they would consider the ac.
QUESTION of a well-modulated speaking
or conversational voice should go hand
in hand with piano-playing and sing
ing. If the cultivation of the every
day speaking voice had been given
the attention and study that piano
playing has received, the disagreeable
element so often complained of in the
American voice would have disappeared
long ago.
Spurgeon said: 81 believe that every
one should train his voice and body un-
der some system of elocution. First
for the health it affords; second, for
lis educating effects; third, for the ad-
vantage it gives over others for use

A TALK ABOUT TEA.
Some 1t Affects Most Pleasantly,
Others Are Seriously Poisoned
by N Single Cup.

Among "the cups that cheer but not
inebriate" tea and coffee stand pre-
eminent. Tea is, as rule, the favori, e
in nothern latitudes, while the con-
sumption of coffee is greatest in warm
countries.
Like most things in this world, es-
pecially like most stimulants, tea has
it's good and it's bad side. When taken
in moderation, and by one with whom
it does not disagree-for some persons
cannot drink even small cup without
symptoms of poisoning-tea is stimu-
liant, relieving mental and bodily IA
tigue, promoting intellectual activity,
curing tired" headache and causing
a most agreeable sense of well-being or
even eXhilaration.
Part of this effect is doubtless due to
the hot water-in itself powerful
stimulant-yet not all, for cold tea acts
almost equally well. When one feels
cold, the heat and the alkaloid caffeine
or theine-in cup of tea act as
stimulants to the heart, increasing
the warmth of the body. On the
other hand, hot tea is asserted to be
cooling in hot weather by reason of the
profuse Precipitation which it induces
The evil effects of overindulgence in
tea are greater than the good effects
just mentioned. Taken in excessive
quantity, or even in moderate quantity
by one with whom it does not agree
tea causes marked dyspeptic and nerv'
Gus disturbances. Tea drunkards suf,
fer from catarrh of the stomach, flatu
lence, inactivity of the bowels-oI
sometimes the reverse-palpitation Of
the heart, nervous unrest, muscular
twitchings and wakefulness.
Some people, who can usually drinl
tea without any evil consequences, FIND
that they cannot do so if they happier
to be worried or in mental distress; a
such times the beverage, instead o
cheering, aggravates the worry ant
adds to it the misery of indigestion
Some of the dyspeptic troubles pro
duced by tea are doubtless due to tn,
tannin which is contained in it in vary
ing amounts, according to the kind ant
quality, and which is extracted from
the leaves especially by long steepint
or by boiling.-Youth's Companion.
