POULTRY RAISING.

As a rule few old hens lay late in the
fall or early winter
Indigestion is very often taken for
cholera among fowls.
There is no better absorbent for the
poultry house than plaster.
The hen lays only when she is capable
of supplying the materials for forming an
egg.
All arrangements for ventilation should
be made so that if necessary the house
can be closed in cold or stormy weather.
A hen that is long and boat shaped and
also fairly deep is likely to show staying
qualities. She should also have a deep
chest.
If an abundance of good sharp grit is
kept constantly within reach of the fowls,
many diseases from indigestion will be
avoided.
1t is not the large hen that always lays
large eggs. Some of the breeds that lay
large eggs are small, as the Spanish and
Minorca.
Scalded sweet milk and cooked rice will
stop diarrhea in fowls, but don't feed
sloppy food while the fowls are in this
condition.
The usual causes of roup are cold,
dampness and exposure. Although appar-
emily contagious, the outbreak and spread
ing of the disease are due primarily to
the surroundings.
In nearly all cases turkeys to bring
good prices should be shut up ten days or
two weeks and be given all that they will
eat of a good fattening ration. Cornmeal
and sweet potatoes boiled together fatten
very rapidly.

Not In order.

In a certain Lanarkshire village a
meeting was called to consider the adj
visibility of erecting bridge over a
creek which had been heretofore cross
ed by means Of stepping stones.
The schoolmaster, who presided over
the meeting, warmly advocated the
erection of a bridge in an eloquent
speech, when local worthy, who was
something of a character and noted for
his outspokenness, got up and inter-
rupted:
"Hoot, foot, schulemaister, you're fair
haiverin', mon! Wha wad gang an
put brig over siccan a wee bit creek

GuIxot's Father.

Gui2ot lived through the most event
full periods of modern France. He was
born in 1887 amid the mutterings Of the
revolution. Guizot's parents were mar
ried by prescribed Protestant pastor,
and his birth was never legally regis
tered His father, who was an advo-
cate, used his talent for public speak
ing in the interests of the prosecuted
Protestants and became marked man.
After living for several weeks in dan
ger of his life he was at last arrested,
unwillingly enough, by gendarme who
knew and respected him.
"Shall 1 let you escape?" said the
man.

the scaffold a few days later. At this
time Francois, the future statesman,
who was the elder Of the two children,
was six and a half years old and al

One day 80 years ago it was reported
to the Trinity board, which has charge
of all the lights on the coast Of Great
Britain, that shoal had made In the
English channel about nine miles due
east of the Lizard At the spot indi-
Gated there had been 80 fathoms Of wa
ter ever since a British ship went to
sea. and the board of course argued
that there had been mistake. 1t was
a fishing craft which reported the shoal
and found only IA feet Of water over
1t, and craft was sent out at once to
make an official investigation. What
had happened was this: 1t was bowl
der strewn bottom, and two or three
old wrecks had drifted together and
piled I'D on each other until a danger

was as If a great rock had suddenly
been heaved up from the bottom, and
the board must guard against the dan
ger without delay.
Thirty years ago the divers dress
was not what it is now, nor could men
handle explosives under water as to-
day. After two or three vain attempts
to clear away the wrecks the work was
left for a storm to accomplish, and
meanwhile lightship No. 4 was moved
around from Mounts bay and anchor
ed near the spot and notice given to
mariners. Captain Crox had been in
command of No. 4 for two years, hav-
ing three men under him, and no

IMPOSING ON EDITORS
Curious Instances of Failure of the
Edttc rial Memory.

Among magazine editors that particu-
lar kind of memory which recognizes
instantly any literary thing which it has
seen before is developed to the limit of
its capacity. Very rarely can a story be
republished, even in slightly garbled
form or after an interval of many years
and not be recognized and spotted by
some outside editor, even if it has slipped
past the censorship of the staff The
method usually followed by people who
attempt to pass off old stories as original
is to copy some practically unknown
story by a famous author, leave out
little, add a little, and yet save enough
that is good to make their version stand
out from the ordinary run Of the manu-
scripts which are declined every day by
the magazine editors.
Some years ago one of the larger
monthlies published a poem by a well
known poet who died more than a CEN
fury ago. As printed it had been sent
in by an unknown contributor from the
west. This poem so struck the editor
that he printed it, surrounded with
series of drawings by one of his best and
most expensive illustrators. When he
was informed by his friends Of the true
origin of the poem, he made resolution
to accept no contribution from authors of
whom he had no personal knowledge, and
for year or two strictly maintained that
policy. A somewhat similar case occur
red recently when a paper in this state
published a poem by Keats and duly
printed the poets name beneath the title.
A number of western papers reprinted
the poem, giving credit to John Keats
in the
The use of extracts from magazines in
newspapers and other magazines is not
objected to by most of the large publish
ing houses, provided that the extracts are
short ones and that a regular credit and
copyright notice is printed either at the
top or bottom of the article. In spite of
this generally understood permission so
many cases occur when material is used

tice, cases which mount up in the course
of year to large number. A warning
is usually enough to make the offending
editor publish a note acknowledging his
omission in the next issue of his paper,

Very Tired.

1t has remained for a little girl to
nearly, if not quite, equal a famous
witticism of Leigh Hunt. OF course
she spoke In childish innocence, where
the English essayist and wit used his
ripened intellect.
Hunt, in describing an exceedingly
warm day, it will be remembered,
spoke Of it as one which tempted him
to strip off his flesh and sit in his
bones.
The little girl had been romping and
running all day. Toward nightfall her
father met her. "Are you not very
tired, little one?" he asked.
"Oh, not so very tired, papa" she re-
piled. Then in burst of confidence
she whispered, only l do feel as
though I'd like to take my legs off and
carry them awhile"
