The soldiers of Great Britain seem
destined to get their fill of bloodshed
before the halo of peace again settles
over these perturbed little isles. The
Mad Mullah, most fanatic of India's
fribesmen, is on the warpath, arming
countless hordes against the mother
country" and instilling into them the
hatred of the foe end disregard of
death the meaning of which the Brit
ish soldiers well know. Mullah's plan
Is to form an alliance with the Mijer-
Main tribe, which will place 10000 men
It his disposal. A feint in the direc-
ton of Ber will, 1t is thought, make 1t
necessary for the British to enter the
Mijertain country. Terrible fighting
will ensue. AS the natives are well
equipped with rifles and ammunition,
and the lines of communication with
the British may at any moment be
broken. The heat in India at present
ls intense. and 1t is telling on the
members Of the British expedition.

clubs Have Their Advantages.

/ think 1t must be owned that the de-
partures from the old order Of home
life have greatly ameliorated the COZ
dition OF the weak, the timid, the less
self-assertive writes Bishop Potter in
the Woman's Companion. In any given
home circle it is not always the clever
est or the strongest who claims and
exercises the mastery. "A shrinking and
sensitive nature will not fight for its
precedence In the home any more than
out Of 1t. IA gentle, modest woman will
often be overborne BY her loud, push-
ing and vdlgarly modern children. a
man Of refinement and real force will
often let himself be bullied by q. brawl-
ing woman because his very nature
makes him mo brawler." Now, in the
old days, 90 far as social intercourse
was concerned, It was largely q ques-
tion; OF the home or-nothing. II there
was no bright talk, no diverting rec
reation. no songs and laughter there.
there was none anywhere.

Hours later those working over DR..

floor Of his laboratory were rewarded
by the flicker of his eyelids and pres
emily he spoke. It was the usual inane
question of those coming out of the
depths.
"You are in your own room" brisk

a personal friend. DR.. Packard was

D.v,e, Too Much for the Boys.

A gray-ha1red m OF
on from a western state for the gradu-
ating exercises, chatted Of the days
when he was at Columbia. There
was Prof. Davies" said the old col
1eeian. 1--WE fellows used to like him
as we'll as it was possible for a col
lege boy to like a professor Of mathe-
mates. One winter, T recollect, the
members of my class, myself among
the rest, had found considerable
amusement and relieved ourselves OF
class work by burning asafetlda, pep
per and other unpleasant things In
the various class rooms. We tried the
trick with Professor Anthem, who
taught Greek, and with Prof. Marine,
who occupied the chair of moral phil
osophy. At last some Of the holder
spirits suggested that we transfer our
attentions to Prof. Davies. Well,
remember that morning. 1t was bit
ter cold, and all Of the outlets Of the
were closed to keep the warmth
within. We were on hand early, and
had several fat Jumps of asafetida
smoking away when the professor
came. He walked to the desk and
laid his hat ard coat on it. Then the
odor struck him. He hesitated a mo-
ment, and then walked slowly to the
door, locked 1t, and put the key in his
pocket. Now, gentlemen, we will en-
Joy this together said he, as he re-
turned to his seat. Then he got back
at US. The mathematics he threw at
us would have filled a set OF mathe-
matical books from the primary arith-
metic to the calculus. And all the
time the asafetida was smoking. for
he would not let us remove 1t. When
we got out of that room after two
hours we were wiser and more discreet
boys, and you can bet we played 20
more tricks on the author Of Davies
Legendre."-New York Times.

From the window Of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the peaceful Sabbath gloam-
ing drifting shreds of music float,
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes.
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood
and its Sunday afternoons; 4
When we gathered in the parlor, in
the parlor stiff and grand,
Where the haircloth chairs and sofas
stood arrayed, a gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched
us with a co%untenance of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot in a
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ. with
the quaver in its tongue,
Seemed to tremble in its fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
AS we sang the homely anthem, sang
the glad revival hymns
OF the glory Of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in
the drowsy little town,
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told it DER
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows Of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades
before my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears
the night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there in the parlor on
those Sunday afternoons.

Poulty Briefs.

A~A
Feeding for the production Of eggs
Is a subject that constantly engages
the best thought Of the best poultry
men. That 1t is ON open subject yet
it proved by the fact that good and
experienced poultrymen disagree as to
the composition Of necessary rations
and the method Of their feeding.
Even the men that adopt iron clad
rules in this regard are known to
change them. This goes to prove that
no fixed rule has yet been agreed on.
For reasons which none OF us are as
yet able to understand, one man sue
ceeds with one ration and another
with another, even when the birds
are of the same breed and all condi-
lions appear to be similar. There Is
something In the handling Of q flock
that depends on the presence Of an
active intelligence, which intelligence
can never be reduced to rule.
The advantages Of pens that can be
moved about freely r obvious. Re-
Gently the writer saw q very good ar
rangement at the experiment station
at Southern Pines, N. c. A large wire
covered yard contained q number of
fowls, the yard being 80 arranged that
it could be moved daily. Little trucks
were at the four corners, but 50 ar
ranged that when not In service the
trucks permitted the frame OF the yard
to rest on the ground. This was neces-
sary az a protection to the chicks. A
new pasture ground was thus given the
flock every day. Moreover, the manure
was evenly distributed and all accum-
ulations were prevented.
