POULTRY POINTERS.

Tho best eggs are the result of a
m":t diet.
Weak legs com" from forced growth,
high fe; ding and close confinement.
Use no daformed or weak fowls for
breeding ard do not keep the same
;acG mere than one season.
\ moltin;s hen seldom lays She can
not be supplying eggs while the strain
of growing new feathers is upon her.
a very fat hen seldom lays anything
but soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy and
egg bound are the result of excessive
fat.
Leaves and hay chaff make excellent
litter for the floors, and by throwing
grain among it fowls are often kept
busy scratching.
Keep the fowls away from the barns,
stables and carriage houses. In such
places they are nuisances; besides they
are more comfortable in a place by
themselves.
Hens must have carbonate and phos-
phate of lime for their shells, and these
will be found in old plastering, broken
oyster shells and bones, with some of
the meat and gristle attached.

uze needed Plates.

Superstition and the belief In the
incantatons Of witches are not en-
tirely dead, as the following tale viii
prove:
One day a gypsy stopped at house,
and, pointing to child. said, He is
sick"
"Yes. he's suffering from rheuma-
tism," said the woman.
Eyes, and can cure him, lady, If
you will let me have six fancy plates,
but you must be sure they are nice"
"Oh, anything to get him WELL" said
the woman. "Tm willing to do any
thing" and she fetched a half dozen
fine china plates that had been her
pride.
The gypsy set them out in a row, one
after the other, placed her hands on
the four center ones, mumbled some
words over them and said:
Nov, If you will let me take these
plates away with me to destroy them
your boy will be cured of rheumatism.
No more aches and pains for him, lady;
nothing but good health, lady. Let me
take them, lady, and cure him."
And the curious part of it Is the wo-
man did give the gypsy those plates.

The Love of Mothera.

Among the lower animals the moth
er's love for her offspring lasts only
until the offspring is able to shift
for itself. The hen will fret and
fight for her downy chicks, but when
they become feathered and commence
to do their own foraging the mother
hen becomes Indifferent to them and
thinks only Of Matching another brood.
The mare loves her foal and the cow
her calf only during the sucking Pc
riod. Canine dams cease to show af-
fection to their progeny after the pup
py age, says the San Francisco Bulle-
tin. So through the entire animal
kingdom below the human species the
maternal instinct endures only while
the young ones are helpless and ceases
when they have grown up.
How different is the love Of human
mother for her children! That love
never dies and seems to grow more in
tense according as the children become
less and less worthy of 1t. The black
sheep Is often the best beloved.

A Persian Dinner.

A traveller in Persia thus describes a
dinner served in the household of a
wealthy Persian: "The chief dish con-
sists of a fowl boiled to rags, surround
ed by toothsome mass of rice, hard
boiled eggs, fried onions, almonds and
raisins. There is a Shiraz wine, clear,
golden red liquid that has Travelled
over the mountain passes on muleback
in huge glass carboy. Among the
dessert mamma has conspicuous place.
This delicacy is somewhat akin to
nOugat; it is studded with walnuts and
almonds and is jaw sticking to the
last degree. Like the mango, it is best
eaten in private, for it renders the mas
ticator speechless. 1t is made of gum
that exudes from tree and is said to
be engendered by worm."-Chicago

DON'T GET MORBID.
y n Not q Difficult Matter to ThinA
Yourself to Death.


Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al.
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
AS a rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in the
world. There is the germ of fatal
thought In ninety-nine persons in every
hundred, and the exception is only
proof against the thought disease by
having been inoculated with the lymph
of optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease In ones system, the thought of
financial ruin, that one is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any
of them or thousand similar
thoughts may carry a healthy man to
premature grave. A melancholy
thought that fixes itself upon ones
mind needs as much "doctoring" as
physical disease. 1t needs to be eradi-
Gated from the mind or it will have
just the same result as a neglected
disease would have. The thought dis
ease sometimes cures itself after run
ming its course; so does smallpox. But
who would settle down to suffer from
smallpox and chance recovery, as thou
sands of foolish persons settle down to
let the thought disease, which has at
tackled them, do its worst?
Every melancholy thought. eyery
morbid notion and every nagging wor
ry should be resisted to the utmost,
and the patient should be physicked by
cheerful thoughts, of which there is a
store in every ones possession, bright
conpanions-cheaper than drugs and
pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of dozens
of cases where healthy persons have
thought themselves into having tumors
and cancerS-caseS which admit of no
doubt whatever that the diseases re-
suited frcm constant morbid fear.
Tllcrp might possibly he fewer cases

A voraciou. Spider.

It Is curious study to watch the
little white. brown specked spiders
which hover among plants seeking
what they may devour. 1t seems al
most incredible that they will conquer
and carry OF to their dens insects
twice their size, but this is just what
they do, capturing flies of the largest
kind. They will hide under the petals
of the flowers. and when Mr.. Fly comes
buzzing along they will spring out at
him, and the next thing he knows he is
being dragged of to be served up at a
spider luncheon. They grip the fly by
the neck, If he has a neck, and dart
down the leaves, skip to the grass and
away, sometimes taking flying leaps of
a foot and half, then disappearing no
one knows where. It's the old story of
the spider and the fly, only the spider
doesn't stop to coax, but boldly carries
off his booty without saying, "By your
leave"

In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh
as much as twenty pounds. All vege-

from fourteen to eighteen days after
sowing, lettuce in five weeks after
sowing, while corn produces three
crops per year. Sweet potatoes are

tubers, cut them off and plant the old
vines, which produce a new crop in
three months. All sorts of fruit, horti-
