RAISING FANCY FOWLS.
Il Is n Charming Occupation. But one
Calling for Inccssnnt Care and
Hard Work.

Those who are raising fancy fowls
Ind the beginners in this are more nu-
merous with each succeeding season
are liable, among other things, to be
troubled with what is known as foul"
feathers coming in the plumage of 9TH
erwise good birds. Black fowls may
show enough white feathers to spoil
them as breeders and exhibition birds,
for white disqualities. The bird show
ing it cannot compete for prize. The
Brown Leghorn or even the Plymouth
Rock may be similarly affected. The
beginner with poultry has so many
things to learn that his brain aches
with trying to contain them all n once,
and one of the things which befalls
him often is that he does not by vari-
ETY. and proper balance keep his young
stock growing freely. When, for any

making, boneforming foods, that will
not give Indigestion, together with the
grit and charcoal that help to ward off
this trouble, and thick, grassy range
well set with insects, are the simples
that produce also fine color and gloss
of plumage. In other words, whatever
conduces to strong vitality favors
good plumage; whatever destroys or
Injuries vigor opens the way for false
plumage. The same is true of the old
er stock at the molt. They need every
help that nature can give, in order to
feather to the satisfaction of their
owner. This thought may also hark
back 20 the previous generations, to
! the transmitted constitution received
from the breeding parents. For fancy

and pride, vigor firstr And let no one

MECHANICS LATEST SCANDAL.

The reign of King Edward has been
lnaugurated by one of those cases of
scandal in high life that appear at
regular intervals in the upper crust of
English society, The king has had
some experience in such matters in en-
deavors to keep the scandals under
cover, but the case that is exciting Lon
don and all England is too big for sup

a person than the young Duke of West
minister, the weathiest of the nobility,
while the injured husband holds a
high command in the Prince of Wales
Lancers, a crack regiment for exploit
ing the military genius of the aristo-
cracy. He is reported to have refused
an indemnify of 100000 to hush the
matter up, and the probabilities of an
adjustment are remote even with the
king taking part. The scandal reaches
into the home life of the nobility as
well as the war in South Africa.

occasion of making known to the world
the growing estheticism of Chicago,
which now plays even with Boston for
having inaugurated the anti-spitting
ordinance.
The street car excursionists of the
Windy City have declared war against
the onion. Their refusal to let an onion
eating conductor get close enough to
them to collect the fares has moved the
management to issue an order that
hereafter employees must eschew the
succulent vegetable. The employees
have held several meetings about the
matter, and have graveIy proposed a
