Poultry Notes.

The natural food for poultry is grain.
Do not feed one variety of grain all
the time.
Old hens cannot be depended upon
for winter eggs.
Over fed hens will not furnish O
regular supply of eggs.
Keep your breeding fowls in good
condition at all seasons.
Hens should always have access to
good, clean dust bath.
Do not conclude that you have rid
your poultry OF vermin and lice and
become negligent. They are like the
poor-"always with us"-and constant
vigilance is the only remedy that is
sure.
While great deal in management
of poultry can be learned from books
and story papers there is great deal
that can only be acquired by expert
ence, anda part of this knowledge can
only be obtained by observation at
fairs and poultry shows at much less
expense than by cold experience in
ones own poultry yard.

Handsome TniIor Gown.

Something quite new in a tailor
gown is made of nut-brown cloth. The
skirt is box-pleated all around from
the front breadth, which is plain, and
trimmed with curved bands of cloth
covered with stitching. The blouse
worn with this is of pink and brown
plaid silk, and the coat is of the Eton
variety with belt of brown satin
covered with stitching.

side toward the south, can be used as
in the case shown here, where the
high side of the poultry house has its
boarding and framing already fur
nished free of cost. There is another
great advantage IN building poultry
houses in this way: the added warmth
that is thus secured. In cold regions
this is matter of great importance,
making this plan exceedingly useful.

robe was arranged in fiat plait at the
back and descended in full train.
The bodice was pointed both in front
and at the back; it was slightly draped
across the bust and rose at the throat
in high collar. At one side was ar
ranged a cascade of real lace, which
fell, with increasing volume, to the
hem Of the robe, interrupted here and
there by sprays OF orange blossoms.
The veil was an immense affair of
beautiful point d'Alencon, fixed over
the head with wreath of orange
flowers.
Two Dresses Worth Careful Study.
The rage for lace is simply tremen-
dous. We can't get enough Of it. The
more we invest in it, the more the
makers strive TO render it more at
tractive, that we shall be driven TO
buying still greater quantities. The
hounces, too, with their graceful cir
cular shapings, are we'll known, and
owned by those who can afford them,
as are all the hundred and one small
devices in demand for neckwear.
In the two dresses shown in the H.
lustration we see very fetching intro

one the sleeves, revers, vest aud bor-
der for the overskirt and Eton aro of

itself is of satin cloth in pastel gray,
the folds on the bodice being of cream
mousseline.
The companion figure is distinctly

and has pleated skirt; the bodice,
too, follows out this design until lost
under the lace bolero. This bolero,

are all of ecru point de Venise lace.

velvet make most effective ground

Iero, and also serve to show of the
yoke and stock of finely shirred cream

folds is OF rose gold set with garnets.

REFUSED CHARITY FOOD.

A week before she died the other
people in the Detroit street tenement
in which Ann Purkin lived remem-
bered that she had not been seen for
some days. She never locked her
door, and when they went into her
room they found her alone in the
cold, there being neither fuel nor fire
in the room, only her trunkful Of
manuscripts. There existed between
her and the poor people among whom
she lived something of the feeling
that made the slums of Paris worship
Verlaine. The refusal of the world to
give the poetess what she deserved
and them what they wanted made n
bond OF sympathy. They brought her
food, which she would not eat, and
built her fire, which she could not
prevent. For years she Las eaten
nothing but fruit and such other food
as she could eat uncooked. That was
part of hor belief, that only un-
cooked vegetable food should be
eaten. For years she ate nothing but
fruit, raw oatmeal and raw rice
soaked in water. She hated a doctor
as she did correct spelling and skirts.

other people in the tenement called O

to talk to her, and she was taken to

THE b. AND O. RECEIVERS.
Their Status in Matter of Suit for
Damaxes

The status of the former receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in relation to
their liability for claim which had its
origin during their custody and control of
the property was fixed yesterday after
noon by the Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia, which held that the off,
GERS were not released entirely when the
receivership was dissolved.
The case in point was the suit of Ade-
laide NJ. Merriman, Administrative of the
estate of the late John A. Merriman, de-
ceased. against John X. Cowen and Oscar
G. Murray, receivers. Mr.. Merriman was
killed by train at the Florida avenue
crossing, December 3, 1896, and Mrs. Merri-
man brought suit for $4,000 damages, re-
ceiving a verdict for $500.
The opinion of the court in part was:
1T is contended by the defendants that
the order of the court of equity of June
3d. 1899, withdrew the property of the
railroad company from their possession
and control, and had the effect OF DIS
charging the receivers from any further
liability for the claim sued for in this
action, and that the only recourse OF the
plaintiff is by application to the court or
equity having control of the cause IN
which the receivers were appointed for
an adjudication of the claim. We do not,
however, entertain this view of the case.
The court below had acquired complete
Jurisdiction of the subject matter ma 1so OF the
| suit before the order of June 30, 1888.
1.-The action was authorized TO De
| brought without the authority Of the court
| appointing the receiver, and the fair and
| reasonable Interpretation of the act OF
| Congress is that the remedy against the
receivers was not only to be protected,
| but promoted and made efectual by that
| act The property of the railroad COM
pany, therefore, remained subject to the
control and jurisdiction of the court OF
equity that appointed the receivers Inc
| Judgment Is not recorded against the re
| ceivers personally, but against them IN
| their official capacity as receivers, and the
| Judgment is payable only from the funds
in their hands, or that may remain SUP.
| iect to the jurisdiction and direction of
the court that appointed them.
There was irregularity in entering the
| Judgment, but that was in mere matter
| of form The judgment instead of being
entered against the receivers personally,
as appears to have been done, should have
been entered against them in their official
| capacity''
