THE COLLEGE TRADE.
An Enterprising GrOceryman's Way
of Increasing His Sales of
Candy and Pickles.

In the neighborhood of fashion
able school for girls within the lines
of the district, there is small grocery
store where the girls have been wont
to wander almost daily for the pur-
chase of cucumber pickles, crackers
and little tid-bits that all crave and
are not included in the regular menu
of the school table. Recently the pro-
prietor of the grocery store decided
to sell out and return to his home in
another city, says the Washington
Star.
After some advertising he met up
with a probable purchaser. At first
the prospective buyer was not par
ticularly struck with the possibilities
of the location as a grocery mart of
profitable proportions. He was just
a little doubtful, when the proprietor
with the desire to sell brought out his
trump card.
"My good man." he said, "there is
the college trade you have not counted
upon in your calculations"
what is the college trade?" in
qulreu the newcomer.
'It is lively at all times" assured
the proprietor, "and you will find it
So"
The college trade" slogan carried
the day, and the store was sold forth
with. The newcomer was to pay half
the purchase price down and the other
half within two weeks, during which
time he was to have the privilege of
withdrawing from the bargain if the
college trade" did not prove all that
was predicted of it.
The new proprietor began business
at the old stand in a very good sort of
way, but during the first few days the
college trade" did not materialize,
and he was beginning to grow I'M
easy. Occasionally girls came to the
store and looked around, but did not
seem anxious to make purchases.
One bright morning there was mis-
sive in the mail that brought Joy to
the groceryman. His face beamed with
newborn knowledge, and he under
stood for the first time the signifi-
canoe of the term which had induced
him to take the college
trade"
The missive was letter addressed to
girl at the college, in care of the
grocer. In the MONDAY mail two other
letters came. They, too, were adj
dressed to college girls and the writing
was of the bold, brave sort usually at
tributed to men. %

Eleonore Prochaska, born March II.
1855, at Potsdam, was the daughter of
a sergeant. After being brought I'D
in the military orphanage of that
town, she became cook in some
citizens house. When the great war
against Napoleon broke out in 1913
she was led away by enthusiasm to
quit her town secretly; by selling her
poor belongings she procured male
attire and weapons, and enlisted under
the name of August REM in the
Lutzow corps. On account of her tall.
slender figure her sex was not dis
covered until she was MORALLY wound
ed. This happened in the encounter
in the Gohrde forest, Regierungsbezirk
Luneburg Kreis Dannenberg, Septem-
Der 16, 1913. The Prussians were there
attempting to storm a hill occupied
by the French, she acting as a drum
mer. In 1868 monument in memory
of her was erected in the churchyard
at Dannenberg, and another in 1889
in the old churchyard of Potsdam.
When a boy often saw cheap illustra-
tions representing her, and my mother
told me about her-Notes and Queries.

the wooden doors can be thrown
open, giving outdoor conditions with
protection from cold winds. When
the chicks become too large for the
brooder, they can occupy the house
as a coop, roosts being provided as
soon as the chicks are large enough
to use them. AS the weather be-
comes warmer, the wooden doors can
be left open at night, the wire doors
being closed to keep out cats and
skunks. Fifty chicks Tor more, if the
wooden doors are to be left open)
can be kept in such a house through
the summer and fall.
This house can only be used as a
colony house for laying hens, a num-
Der of such houses being scattered
about the land to be occupied, and
filled with about Is hens each. Roosts
are placed at the rear, and nest-boxes
at one end. These can be reached
from the outside by means of the lit
tie hinged door shown at one end.
Such house is also an excellent
place to devote to setting hens, the
wire door only being closed. 1t af-

large number can be put into such a
house, if a temporary wire enclosure
is set up before the house, that the

the day. Other uses for such a house
will occur to the poultryman, while
for the fancier such quarters make

For the next two weeks the college
trade" tlourished magnificently, and
whenever the mail was heavy the pur-
chases by the girls were corresponding
ly large. The grocer was delighted to
pay the final installment of the pur-
chase money. He adopted the system
of placing the letters in the show case
where candied and sweet nothings were
kept. Here the letters not only were
easily seen by the girls, but the same
time attracted their attention to
dainty commodities with which the
proprietor could be induced to part
upon a slight consideration of SO much
per quarter pound.
Things were progressing boomingly
and the embryo post office was gaining
in popularity daily. Things were COM
ing too easy to last, however, and day
or two ago the crash came.
AS bad luck would have it, the daily
run of visitors brought to the grocery
store member of the college faculty.
The member had been a girl herself not
so many years ago, and while in the
store her fancies led her to inquire
whether or not candy was to be had
there. The proprietor delightedly
pointed the way to the candy showcase.
But the beauty of the bonbons faded
from the teachers view as her eyes
caught sight of a little package of let
ters in one corner of the case and she
recognized on the uppermost one the
name of certain very pretty student
at the school.
"What means this?" she demanded,
as an appalling hush fell over the scene.
The grocer confessed. The girls are
no longer allowed to patronize the
store. The college trade" is but a
sweet remembrance. There is no Joy
in the young grocer's life.

much better than larger ones, as
there are no down drafts and no
dampness or frost, attaching to them

they draw better. / find this system

The TEST OE The SKY.

Not to Earth's test-to thine, wide-arching
Sky!-
Bright. ruthless sky. in whose thrice

The unseen currents air and fire and dew,
Do purify themselves continually;
Even to thy test and judgment, all things
come;
Sky of a thousand storms,
A million stars-thou heaven bent DER all,
Limitless, fathOmless and inscrutable;
Laws, customs, creeds-the fabrics that
men rear,
Unstayed, unglossed, must meet tn accuser
here;
Full many a doctrine high in church or
Hallowed by usage, fair of outward
guise-
Systems whose fragments still beguile
the wise
Or bind the sumptuous dwellings of the
Laid bare to wind and sun
All crumbling show, worm-cankered and

But wisdom shines more clear,
Truth even whittier; naught has love to
fear,
Nor unstained faith, from yon broad glances
sent
Down the blue gulf and dazzling armament.
Thy face we seek-we. too, thou searching
Sky,
In whose dread vault and glacial-bright
abyss
Winged currents bind the unseen world
to this;
Whose life renews earths life perpetually;
Not to mems courts-to thine, We also
come!
Still to the desert lone
We steal apart, or mountain waste and

And wait the solemn verdict of the Sky.

APOPLEXY IN FOWLS.
Fed on what Is Termed the
High-Pressure System

1t is a nice thing to have fat,
plump fowls, when one is needed for
the table. When they are kept fo-
show purposes and for showing GUS
toners and others who may visit the
farm, they look well also when they
are very fat. When certain kinds of
food are fed and chickens are kept
from exercise they will get very fat.
Some breeds are better adapted to
taking on fat than others. Not every
person is able to have fowls fat when
they are needed, and yet there are
many poultrymen who are able to
keep fowls in no other condition. and
they are subject to all the troubles
incident to fat hen, says the Home
stead.
There is a degree of fairness that
does not hurt the fowl, and that is to
be retained, as breeder should not
attain that degree of fairness that
will pass beyond the limit between
health and disease. If so the func-
tions of the fowl are interfered with.
and death is sure to come, and it
very often comes very suddenly.
1t is very well to know how over
fat affects chickens. When fowls re-
ceive high feeding and have limited
exercise, the fat accumulates in the
tissues. not in the constituents of the
organ, but in the intestines. Thus it
invades tlmspaces which separate the
muscular fibers themselves, and in the
liver the hepatic cells are choked. So
long as the fat is not excessive the
functions of the organs will not be
affected, but if the barrier be once
crossed between health and disease,
the fat becomes a part of the cell,
takes its place gradually and finally
destroys the organ. The accumula-
ton of fat especially attracts the ac-
ton of the heart, diminishing it's
energy and proving an obstacle to
the contraction and the circulation Of
the nourishing vessels. The fibers of
muscles of respiration become af-
fected by the fat, and the fullness
and the frequency of breathing will
be lessened by the fat; the fat cannot
be consumed and it accumulates. Sud-
den death may come at any time by
a rupture of the heart or the owl
duct. The remedy lies in not giving
too much or too little food. Dimin-
ish the supply and force exercise, and
rely more on green food. Generous
feeding should be carried on in lay.
ing time, but not in such a manner a.
to transform the food into fat.

InocuIation for Black1er

Backlog attacks fat cattle under
two years of age. 1t may appear at
any season of the year, but commonly
in spring and fall. They should be in
oculated when about four months old
and again when about one year old.
The vaccination seems only to protect
about one year. 1t can be done at time
of year convenient to the owner, and
on any part of the animal, generally in
ear, tail or neck. All animals diving
with this disease should be burned.
The first thing detected is the animal
is lame, refuses to eat, a swelling APP
pears on shoulder or hip. Generally the
animal dies in few hours, and on cut
ting into the swelling it has the APP
pearance of the tissues being pounded.

How to Use Poultry Manure.

Poultry manure is a very concen-
trated fertilizer, and this should be
borne in mind when it is being ap.
piled to the land. 1t should be saved
with care, as carelessness in that re-
spect may render it of little value.
Mixing it with dry dust will destroy
its value unless certain amount Of
moisture be present. When kept in
barrels it is well to keep it little
moist, but not wet. When too dry
mischief is wrought by chemical ac-
ton, and when too wet, by bacterial
action.
