CHEAP POULTRY HOUSE.
An Excellent Structure to Keep Hens
in a Laying Condition Through
the Winter Months.

When approNimating the cost of hous-
ing fowls comfortably and well, one dol
lar per head is considered proper esti-
mate here in New England.
Nearly every henhouse on my farm,
in fact every one that is arranged for
laying stock, has its annexed scratch
ing shed, tight roof, sides and back,
with open front covered by wire net
ting to admit the air. These fronts are
provided with oiled muslin curtains
which can be opened and closed at will
during very cold or stormy weather,
hinged at top or on the end, whichever
may be most convenient for hooking
the frame up out of the way when not
in use.
In the fall of '9s I had about 125
extra late-hatched pullets that must
need either be housed or sold then at a
sacrifice. I bought some second grade
spruce timber and hemlock boards for

The little baby referred to may
have life of goodness or the reverse.
It's parents cannot tell. But this lit
tie one has had many predecessors
like unto itself ushered into the mys-
terry of life; and of one of them this
story is told to show the effects of
the abandonment of children.
Leroy Mason is a white boy nine
years OF age, vino attends one of our
public schools. He is handsome lit
tie fellow, always standing well in his
classes, and always punctual in at
tendance upon the school sessions.
He never invited any of the children
to his home, and the teacher never
saw his father or mother. A few
Gays ago he was found begging on
the streets, begging food for his
mother, who, he said, was very sick
and probably dying.
The case was reported to the police
department, and was investigated by
the board of children's guardians. The
boy led an inspector to an attic with
two rooms in the heart of the city, OPP
posite the patent Office building.
There, upon a little straw pallet, lay
the suffering mother" of this little
boy. She was a negro woman, up
wards of so years old, and was mani
festIy in dying condition. She was
taken to a hospital, and the boy was
given to one of the ladies in charge OF
home missionary work. This lady gave
him a comfortable room and attended
to his wants with maternal care. She
learned from the boy that he had writ
ten letters to certain parties for his
smother" but he would not give any
further information.

Soda as a Fertilizer.

Where the potash supply is limited,
the soda Is useful to certain plants
either as direct plant food or Indirect
" by virtue of its iberating potash
from the soil, as demonstrated at the
Rhode Island station. The results at
hand have not yet shown definitely
whether or not it is profitable to in
tentionally limit the potash supply
enough to make the soda act, nor can
conclusions be drawn as to the direct
manurial action of the soda until the
analysis of the material is completed.

Mrs. Haslup on purity Mrs. Mary E.
Haslup, of Baltimore county, president of the
Maryland w. c. T. o., attended the annual
convention of that body, which was held at
Washington Grove camp ground, Montgom-
cry county, on Wednesday. The theme dis
cnssed in the afternoon was Purity" and
Mrs. Haslup made an address in which she
plead for fuller understanding between
mothers and children. AS soon as children
are old enough, she said, to ask questions re-
garding their origin and their life they are old
enough to be answered truthfully so far as
they are capable of understanding. Parents,
she asserted, make a mistake in falsifying
these things and in installing ignorance for
innocence. One reason for the great amount
of impurity in the world is that parents do not
tell their children the truth They seem to
regard as impure the things which God has
made part of His pure and divine plan. This
branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union work, which Miss Frances Willard
considered of the greatest importance, Mrs.
Haslup declared has been one of the lines along
which the organization has been of most ben
eft to women.

Ladies in a Runaway Accident.-What
might have proven serious driving accident
occurred on Wednesday night last, on Ridgely' s
Hill. Dulany's Valley turnpike. about mile
north of Towson Miss Irene Bosley, of Bos-
lev postotfice, and Miss Anna Smith, of Du-
lanys Valley, were returning with party of
friends from an excursion to Queenstown.
While descending the hill the horse Miss
Bosley was driving took fright and started to
run. In her efforts to control him Miss Bos-
lev was thrown over the dashboard into the
road leaving Miss Smith in the buggy minus
the reins and entirely at the mercy of the APP
parently maddened animal. Fortunately,
when the horse reached the foot of the hill he
became entangled in the harness and fell, when
Miss Smith made good her escape. Neither OF
the young ladies was hurt.

Advantage of Bare Feet.
Pail Mall Gnzeffe

Visitors to Scotland used to be Mortified on
seeing so many children running about bare
footed. Bare feet are less common now than
they were a generation ago, and perhaps the
change, while showing growing prosperity
in the nation. is not altogether to be recon-
mended. Children's feet grow so fast that to
keep them always properly shod is a matter
that requires considerable care and some ex-
penditure. 1t matters very little to a child's
future well.being that at some period of its
childhood the sleeves ola jacket have been too
short or the skirt of frock too scant but the
compression of feet in boots too tight, or,
even worse, too short, may be cause of tor
ment in future years. Infinitely better are
bare feet than clumsy, heavy, ill-shaped boots.
In the winter the feet may indeed want some
protection from cold and wet, but during a
great part of the year Children may safely and
BEAUTIFULLY go barefooted.
Some mothers, by no means of the poorest
class, are convinced that the comfort and SYM
metry of the feet in maturer years are largely
to be gained by giving them freedom during
the time of growth. AT very fashionable
marriage some time ago a child bridesmaid
was seen silk-robed, but shoeless.
And if shoes are undesirable how much
more so are gloves? Except the thick wooden
ones for winter warmth, gloves shoued be ban
ished from a cbild's wardrobe.

Some Interesting Experiments With
Wheat-A letter from Easton, Md, to the
Baltimore San says: "Dr. Charles Lowndes,
of Sunnyside, Miles River Neck, has made
some interesting experiments in wheat har-
vesting designed to show the loss incurred by
cutting wheat before it is fully ripe. The
wheat experimental with was planted on the
10th of October on stiff white-oak land and
seeded a bushel and half to the acre. At
harvest time DIR. Lowndes took three samples
of i've heads each, all the heads having the
same number of bars and of grains in each
bar No. 1 was taken when the grain was in
the milky state, No. when in the doughty
state and No. when the grain was fully ripe.
Three days interviewed between the taking of
each sample. All the samples were kept in
the same place and subjected to the same con-
ditions of temperature and moisture The
wheat was rubbed out by hand. Each sample
was carefully weighed on druggists prescrip-
ton scales. No. 1 weighed 6S grains, No, IS
grains and No. 3 rs grains. No. was dark,
shriveed and unsightly No. 2 was better, but
off color, and the grains were not plump; No.
3 was perfect in condition and color. This
shows loss of over Is per cent in harvesting
wheat when the grains are in the doughty
state Why the milky state grains weighed
more than those in the dough state is an I'M
answered question"

First Street Car in Baltimore.
Tia Mann LII, LII


Yesterday marked the 41st anniversary Of
the running of the first street car in Baltimore.
About year ago the Ne,Os published detailed
history of the movement which led up to the
granting of the first franchise for tramway
service in this city and the abolition of the
two bus lines which had previously been
operated between the Three Tons Hotel Pratt
and Paca streets, and Fells Point, and Holli-
day and Baltimore streets and Govanstown.
To the wisdom and farsightedness of the late
Thomas Swami, at the time Mayor of Balti-
more the city owes the fund, now amounting
to nearly 5000, 900, annually, derived from a tax
on the gross receipts of street railway traffic,
which maintains the system of public parks.
In recognition of this fact, many of the citi-
zens of Baltimore have at times expressed
desire to see a monumental Mr.. Swami erected
in Druid Hill Park, itself one of the blessings
conferred upon the people of the city during
his administration. The street cars which first
ran in Baltimore were manufactured in Phila-
delphia. They were of the boxshaped pat
tern and seated only II persons. The first
company, known as the City Passenger Rail-
may Company, had Mr.. Jonathan Brock of
Philadelphia for its president, and laid tracks
on Baltimore street between South street and
Broadway. The Baltimore street retail mer-
chants west of South street at first opposed
the laying of the tracks, but subsequently
when convinced of the benefit to accrue to
them in bringing customers to their doors
withdrew their opposition.

lican nomination for Congress, as stated by

The New Census of Baltimore City.-Ac-
cording to a special dispatch received from
Washington by the Baltimore Sun, based upon
information secured from sources that may be
considered reliable, that paper says Baltimore
ans will be disappointed to learn that the popu-
lation of the city, as determined by the new
census, will probably not exceed $780, 900. tits
thought the figures will benearer 525, 900. The
census of 1890 gave the city population of
434 450.
These figures do not give fair idea of the
population of what is, to all intents and pur-
poses, the city of Baltimore, or to the city's
growth of population in the last 10 years. The
population of Canton and Highlandtown
numbering about $4,000, draw their supplies
from the city proper, many of the people are
employed here, and the industries there are
largely operated by Baltimore capital. A
stranger in East Baltimore would not know
when he passed over the line from city to
county, yet those whose homes are in the set
Elements named are not included in the count
for Baltimore.
Since the last census was taken there has
been great boom in suburban development,
and thriving villages have sprung up just be-
yond the city line, including Roland Park. a
large part of West Arlington 1rvington and
Sudbrook Park. Almost every house in these
villages is occupied by persons whose business
interests are in Baltimore, and large proper
ton of them are voters in Baltimore. Those
who do not live in the suburbs all year go out
between May and June /, returning to the
city about September 1.
The development of the rapid transit system
has brought the suburbs within such easy
reach of downtown that thousands of Balti-
moreans to whom such thing would have
been an unattainable luxury few years ago
are now able to live in the country and do
business in the city These include small
merchants, clerks with moderate salaries and
mechanics. These men consider themselves
Baltimoreans and for every purpose except
that of the census taker they are.
