To Prevent Egg Eating.

One of the reasons that hens eat
their eggs is because they require the
albumen, and hence are not so much at
fault as may be supposed. To produce
eggs hens must have nitrogenous food
in some shape, and if they are deprived
of it they will seek it wherever it can
be procured. The first time an egg is
broken and the hen partakes of it's con-
tents she learns to associate the egg
and the food supply together. and will
then eat simply because she requires
such food. To prevent it give her meat
often, make the nest in such a manner
that but little light can enter. and she
will soon cease the practice of egg-eat

under many circumstances where the
winters are not too cold, and where
the fowls are kept in pens side by side,
with adjacent yards outside. In such
case it is often inconvenient to get
into the yards unless one can go out

method of swinging the sashes the
necessity for having a door in each

with. In cold climates such a plan

STAGE DANCERS CATARRH.
Eminent English Medical Men Make a
Speciality of Ministering to
the Complaint.

Of the thousands who see magnificent
ballets and clever individual feats of
dancing few know that medical men
have often to deal with a most singular
kind of ailment, confined to one class,
and known as '.stage dancers catarrh-"
The only complaint that in any de-
gree strongly resembles this catarrh is
that which is said to have risen in great
cities through the use of wood pave.

There is much likeness between the
two complaints, but that which aff1icts
dancers on the stage sometimes be-
comes a very serious matter, indeed.

said that by popularity of the method
of breathing of people dancing and the
peculiar character of the particles of
dust which are stirred up sort of in
flammation, first of the nostrils and
then of the whole mucous membrane,
is set up, the inflammation sometimes
becoming chronic when instant RENE
dies are not applied.
In many cases it is regarded with
such gravity that at all the theaters
where vast ballets are a speciality a
medical man attends nightly at the eN-
pense of the management to weed ont
any case at once.
There are at least two eminent med
ical men who are reckoned specialists
in regard to this complaint, so little
known to the public, one in Paris and
one in London. And all the greatest
dancers known have at times suffered
heavy loss through attacks of what is
regarded, even by doctors, as very
strange ailment.-Tit-Bits.

Prize Poultry Comes High.

The man that has n desire to exhibit
birds for prizes at the poultry shows
must expect to pay the price. If he
wants to stand a chance of winning
anything he must buy and breed only
the highest class of birds We hear
of people buying cheap stock and at
tempting to raise prize winners from
them. The policy is foolish one.
If a man desires to own the luxury
of prize winning fowls there is no

SHORT LINE
RUMOR ABROAD AGAIN

The Muscatine News-Tribune spins
an interesting tale relative to pro-
posed move on the part of the Milwau-
kee road. 1t is recalled that during
the past year an engineering corps in
the employ of the c.. NJ. & ST. P.
Railway company made the survey of
q route from Clinton via Davenport to
Muscatine and from here via Wash
ington to Ottumwa. 1t was stated at
the time that the company would con-
struct O railroad over this route in or
der to shorten its line from Chicago
to Kansas City. Now. according to
the Muscatine paper, comes the assur-
ance that this contemplated action is
to become a reality, and that, too,
within the coming year. A Muscatine
Citizen CHANGED to meet Milwaukee
official prominent in the councils of
that corporation few days since and
was informed that the road would
surely be built the coming year. He
stated that the line running from
Marion to Ottumwa, over which K. G.
connections are now made, is receiv-
ing little attention, no improvements
of consequence being made, as the in
tention is, in the near future, to send
the southwestern traffic over the new
road, which will be fine piece OF con-
struction. The revival of these sur
misses strengthens the belief hereto
fore alluded to of the Milwaukee COM
ing into Rock Island over the Tri-City
Route and crossing the lower bridge
at this point.
