POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even Though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make good food for pOul-
try. but if wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
WhitewaSh is better than paint on
the poultry houses. for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying int1u-
ence. 1t mag be applied as often as

Ancient skxncrapers.


Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that it was a sky
scraper st. Jerome in his commen-
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1900 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are only about 500 feet. Father Cal
met says the tower was, $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
confounded, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More
over. it is understood that the Chinese
language of today was originally the
same language as the high German.

SAVED HIS CAPITAL.
A Bank President who Did Not F0R~

"Come in in the morning. and the
ba2k will have something for you to

bank to a meek looking man whose
hair was white and whose eyes were
marked by deep crows feet as he left
the office with a bright look of salts

president as he motioned to me to re-

Orasan OF the JinrakisAa.

Most travellers In Japan would sup
pose that so general a Japanese insh-
tuition as the jinrikisha was of native
origin, but not so. An old resident OF
Yokohama writes to the Kobe Chroni-
Gle: "For several years after the inst1-
tuition Of the jinrikisha it was general
~ understood among foreigners in Yo-
kohama that Mr.. Goble, half cobbler,
half missionary was it's inventor. Mr..
Goble, though q rough looking sort Of
man, was regarded by the foreign resi-
dents Of the port as an honest, con-
sistent missionary. I believe it was he
who built the first missionary chapel
in Yokohama. and as long as 1t lasted
it was known as Coolies church. He
was in the habit of taking long ram
bles in the country and doing little
peddling business, and, if my memory
serves me rightly, he gave a commits
sion to blacksmith either in Kawasa-
Xxi ION the Tokaido, between Yokohama
and Tokyo or in Fujisawa to construct
the first jinrikisha. The vehicle took
at once with the Japanese, but not so
among the foreigners, with whom it
was some time before it became pop
ular means of locomotion. Mr.. Goble

Robertson, the author of Caste" who
was also friend of Jefferson.

Mr.. Jefferson. Robertson poured out

cainshoroneh and His Carrier.

One of the earliest members OF the
Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's
custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by prosperous Lon
don carrier, a Mr.. Wiltshire of Shock
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too well. He was
not, however, allowed to go unreward-
ed, for. Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal

the petals of the great laurel magnolia
are touched however lightly, the re-
suit is brown spot which develops i'll

FLYING BULLETS. q;
One Way by Which They May BE
Seen After Leaving tho Diae.


~ don't believe the story that bullets
can be seen when fred from gum"
said the old soldier. You know in the
army there is n theory that men have
seen bullets, but they never lived to
tell Of it. because the bullets were go
Ing straight for then. and hlA them in
tho eye. The only men who have seen
the ordinary rifle bullets in transit are
dead"
No, they aren't" said the old hunter.
I have seen many bullets flying. One
way by which you can see them plain
" is by dipping them in glycerin be-
fore firing
"Yes, you might trace them by the
smoke then caused by air friction"
said the veteran, but you emit see the
bullets"
oh, yes, you cnn," retorted the hunt
er. II have watched them often dur
Ing tarSet practice, and any one can
see the large caliber bullets, though
won't say as much for the tiny modern
missiles The way to see flying bull
let Is to get Il little to one side Of the
shooter, about five feet away from him,
shy. Then run an imaginary line from
the muzx]e OF his gun to the target.
Let your eyes rest on a space of light
colored ground exactly OH this line, and
when he fires you will see something
dark. like bee, fit past the light coll
ored space. That is the bullet. Of
course by the time the eye tells the
brain 1t sees the missile the bullet has
struck the target, but you have seen it
oil right"
