THEY MAKE a NIsTAEE

There are a number of complaints by
people who live in Prentis Place and
brighton against the Portsmouth Street
Railroad. They complain that they
come to market and after getting their
marketing they are not allowed to get
on the car when 1t passes the market
house Ell route TO the ferry and con-
tinue out home without paying two
fares. In order to prevent this they
have to walk to the corner of High and
Crawford street and take the cars
there. The distance is about four
blocks. and some of the ladies are not
able to carry their baskets that dis
lance. a petition is being circulated
among the people living in the sections
referred to. and after it is signed it
will be presented TO the president of the
company.
Unless some redress is made these
people the company will make a big
mistake, they claim.

THE NORTH STREET GHOST EN-
PLANNED


Police Lieutenant Olney is confident
that he has located the ghost which
has been bombarding the home of
George Boss, colored. In North street,
with missiles. Occasionally, to the Lieu
tenants theory and belief, the so-cal,ed
ghost Is none other than Bess' own
step children.
The officer went to the house yester-
day morning and while making an in
Vesueation several lumps of coal were
thrown, but apparently from the inside
OF the house. 1t was so evidently the
work of one of the children that the
Lieutenant was about to take her to
the station house. but was persuaded
from his purpose by Bess, who said
he would send the children away
Bess stated yesterday that he did not
believe it possible that the children
were culprits. There was q report that
his wife wanted to move to Norfolk.
and had instigated the children to their
mischevious trick in order to influence
her husband. but this Bess said was
absurd. as the North street property is
in her name. and it was unreasonable
TO suppose she would allow her own
property to be damaged as 1t was.

PROPER MANAGEMENT.
Why Small Matters Should Receive
the Most Careful Attention of
the Poultry Farmer.

The periods Of feeding should be
regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose; but there are
very few who thus Systematically
feed their fowls. Water should be
kept in the presence of poultry at all
times, and it should not only be clean
and pure, but fresh; yet this impor-
tant matter is overlooked by many.
Warmth in winter and cool location
in summer are essential to laying, be-
ing as important as a full supply of
feed; but every poultry house is not
comfortable. The prevention OF
dampness in the house avoids roup
which is terrible scourge in flock
but the small leaks here and there
are not regarded as dangerous mat.
ters by the average poultryman. Even
the height of the roost and the con.
struction of the nests have more OF
less tendency to affect the profit from
poultry than many suppose, for high
roosts cause deformea feet, and poor
nests will not be occupied by the hens
if they can get better places in which
to lay. These things are seemingly
small matters, which are usually over.
looked, but they are important to sue.
cess. Poultry should not be expected
to prove profitable without care more
than other stock, and the fact that a
profit is often derived from flock
that has been overlooked is strong
proof that poultry-raising can be
made to pay well when conducted by
thoughtful, attentive persons. 1t is
the small matters that should receive
the most careful attention. as the OBJ
servance of method and system is sure
to prove beneficial at all times.-Farm

NOTES ABOUT SHEEP.

Once week fresh bright oat straw
will make very acceptable change
from the most nutritious of other
kinds of food.
Re sure to supply ample water to
the flock. Let it be fresh drawn from
well, and see that the drinking
troughs are not surrounded by ice.
Don't stint the fodder or the grain
Just now. A judicious addition to the
rations now will help through a pincl
'ater. 1t is the sheep in poor condi-
ton which is spring weak.
If there is any good reason for buy
ing wool on the sleeps back for IS
and 90 cents a pound, is there any
good reason why the grower himself
should not hold it till shearing time ?
AS there are many kinds of people,
so there sre many kinds of sheep.
We must not expect every eve in the
flock to bring as good and strong
lambs there are always weaklings
and degenerate lambs in a flock-and
IL may be wise to let these go, as
weeds, to the waste pile, before they
have cost more than t'.y will ever
come to.--American Cultivator.

Hotel Clerk.

There is young business man who has
more hosiery than he knows what to do
with. He was quite recently on business
trip, and happened to stop for q couple of
days in Philadelphia. He wanted to get
some advertising, but he was not fixed to pay
for it, and he had read about the king OF

get some brief notoriety because of their
antics. lie. had ten dollars to spare on a

money on these things, and he went out Of
his way to get the most outrageous combina-
tions of color and the most bizarre effects
that were in the place. He succeeded won
derfully. He had socks which made the
asphalt sidewalks curl as they do under ex-
treme heat. His extremities fairly shrieked.
Then he spent the day in the corridor of the
hotel sitting in q conspicuous place showing
off the socks. He would wear pair for
about 20 minutes, go to his room, change,
and, coming down, show off another design
Tor about the same time. He did this for al
most ten hours, and naturally attracted
quite a good deal of attention. That was
what he wanted, but he could not break in 10

both for the freedom of ventilation re-
quired in day time and security from
marauding pests at night is one ques-
tion that is answered in the design.
AS will be seen in the illustration,
the coop is so arranged that sunlight
and air are admitted through wire
netting front in daytime, and by clos
ing the hinged door (A), which rests
upon the roof in daytime, the coop is
securely closed against all pests at
night. The coop being made of light
material, it can be moved to a fresh
place every day or two, and gives the
old hen ample range in her commodi-
Gus quarters. Coops may be made any
size to suit the taste; a good size be-
ing 2N3 feet, floor plan. Two feet high
in front and IS inches in the rear. The
'oof of this coop may be made of
matched material as ceiling or floor
ing, and can be covered with roofing
paper to better exclude water. Such
coops should have movable floor in
the early spring which will exclude
dampness and prevent gapes. A good
brooding coop, as every housewife
knows, is half the battle in rearing a
flock of chickens, and no farmer should
deny his farmyard fowls n few good
coops to hover in during the brooding
season. They can be made during
stormy days when other work cannct
be performed about the farm.-George
w. Brown, in Ohio Farmer.

THE WISE viZlER.
He Quickly Looked the Matter Over
and Executed the Whole OUTFIT.

Abdullah the ViZier was bored. He
sat ON a mighty heap of embroidered
cushions and frowned at the black and
white squares of the tessellated court
and the per-fumed fountain in its CEN
ter.
Summon my three wise men," said
Abdullah, and the three wise men
stood before him.
Speak, Son of Wisdom" said the
vizier TO the eldest of the wise men,
"and tell me why 1 am weary of the
world"
And the wise man smoothed his sill
very beard with his long, thin hand
and spoke:

...Ct country of the world! that thou
art bored Us but dispensation of
Providence, for so wise art thou thu.
none may grasp the reason of thy
boredom"
And Abdullah frowned and made a
Egn, and the eldest of the three wise
men was taken from Abdullah's pres
ence and hanged upon the nearest
sycamore.
And the second wise man was sum-
moned before Abdullah, and an answer
to the vizier's question he who was
known as the Reader of the Moon
opened his mouth and spake: TOO
wise art thou, o Father of the Faith
fml; thou canst but he bored, for
to THY wisdom must all things seem
foolish"
And Abdullah made a sign, and the
\ second wise man was hanged beside
the first.
Then trembling and afeared
stepped forward the third and last of
the wise men. Wrinkled was he as u
pomegranate wetted by the rain and
shriveled by the morning sun. He
waited not for the question of the vi
zier, but raising his voice he cried in
shrill tones: 20 vizier, the reason OF
thy boredom is not far to seek. This
world is wide, and thou, o vizier, hast
eyes, and hands, and feet, and senses,
even as other men. Thou art fool,
o vizier, therefore art thou bored and
weary of the world"
And Abdullah laughed hearty
.aug'h and raised him up from off the
cushions. "Truth hast thou spoken"
said the vizier, ''and the others lied,
knowing that they spake not the
truth. Therefore shalt thou not be
hanged as were they, but shalt lose
thy head at the hands OF Ali the Exc
rutioner."
And it was done even as Abdullah
the Vizier commanded.-Cinci

There is no period in poultry raising

the chicks are removed from the nest
