up. They fled to neighbours, and later
when they reappeared Doherty opened
fire. The shots went wild and, having
but one bullet left, he fatally shot him

POULTRY POINTERS.

The best eggs are the result of a
meat diet.
Weak legs come from forced growth,
high feeding and close confinement.
Use no deformed or weak fowls for
breeding and do not keep the same
cock more than one season.
A melting 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 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.

DON'T GET MORBID.
1t Is Not n Difficult Matter to Think
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 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 erad-
Gated from the mind or it will have
just the same result as n 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, every
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
companions-cheape 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 from constant morbid fear
There might possibly be fewer cases
of cancer if some great doctors could
assure the world that it is not a hered-
itary disease, but morbid minded per.
sons on hearing that there is cancer in
their families generally do the very
worst thing they can do under the cir
cumstances they conceive an awful
dread that they will be afflicted witt
it. They dwell upon the fear constantly
and every trifling ailment which trou
blcS them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro
duces morbid condition of body, ant
If the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encourage
ment to develop.

PnDer Hunting.

One of the most exciting of all rid
ing games is paper hunting, or follow
ing trail made by dropping pieces of
paper 1t can be made as dangerous
as steeplechasing or no more so than
an ordinary gallop over the fields. The
danger is in the fences to be ridden
over, says Country Life In America.
There is no limit to the pace but the
speed of the leading horse and the ne
cessity of keeping the trail. The hare"
as the man a-horseback who lays the
trail is called, is expected to foil his
pursuers. the hounds" as often as he
can by the arts of the fox or by his
own ingenuity, only restricted by GER
tain rules of the game.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES.
The Simple Explanation of IA Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.

Ordinary Phenomenon.
An instance of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated by
an article that goes the rounds of the
press once or twice annually-namely,
the story of the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches in his house - the radiators,
picture frames. banquet lamps, ETC.
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his company
are intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any of the peo-
pie consulted that the discOverer of
the phenomenon is unconsciously per-
forming one of the simplest and oldest
of electrOstatic experiments, the shut
fling of his shoes over the dry carpet
raising the potential of his body to
several thousand volts. which discharge
at every opportunity. One may even
get electric discharges from his knuc-
kles against the brass lock of a hand
bag which he may be carrying while
walking on stone pavement during
cold, dry weather
But, dismissing newspaper science.
it is somewhat astonishing, in view of
the many ways in which in cold, dry
countries electricity is unintentionally
developed and manifested by spark
ing, that the first knowledge concern
ing this phenomenon did not come to
the ancients in this way rather than
by the attraction of light substances
by amber. The explanation of this,
however, may be that the scientists of
bygone days did not reside in cold, dry
countries.-Cassier's Magazine.

CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.
The Blunt Way In Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused Fortune.

The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George ", was a dog.
gedly Independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for a
time fell into disfavOr. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions We're always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author of the "Ingoldsby Legends"
contains, among other anecdotes of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher-
ited himself
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
81 don't believe it," said Cannon aft
err a pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room.
81 won't believe it." persisted Can
non, unless | see it,"
Smiling ut his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it..
"Well," he said deliberately, ''if |
had not seen it in your own hands, |
could not have believed you were such
an unnatural brute"
Thrusting the paper between the bars
of the CRATE, he continued in severe,
low voice: "Have you no one more
nearly connected with you than I-no
one to whom your money should go,
who has right to be provided for
first and best? Pooh! You don't
know how to make a will. I'll send
for lawyer, and he shall make your
will You shall leave me a legacy.
There's no harm in that, but I'm not
going to take it all to please you.

A Persian Dinner.

A traveller in Persia thus describes a
dinner served in the household of
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 Shiraz wine, clear,
golden red liquid that has Travelled
over the mountain passes on muleback
in a 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

"stock" is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream of machine oil pours contin-
uously on the work to carry away the
heat, and the little metal cuttings col

Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tomaton goes through its cycle of oper-
atoms, the turret clicking every mo.

Small brass pieces, ON which but one

Effective, but Dangerous.

To cleanse glass vases, carafes or bot
ties of any sort nothing is better than
little muriatic acid. A tablespoonful
rinsed slowly around in a vase or de-
canter will cleanse it thoroughly, re-
moving from the glass every particle of
foreign matter. The acid can then be
poured into another vase to perform
the same office and even then returned
to the bottle of supply for service on
another occasion. After the acid is out
of the vase or bottle the latter must
be rinsed inside thoroughly first with
hot soapsuds and then in several clear

Mounting n Horse.

A careful bicyclist learns to mount

emergency may arise at any moment,
says the London Chronicle. One would
think that the horseman would be
equally careful to provide for POSSIBLE
ities and accustom himself to mount
ing indifferently frem the off side and
the near side. But if he were to ven
ture to mount OH the right side-which
is the wrong side-in hotel stable

mand the price of gallon as the
