POULTRY POINTERS.

A close, unventilated house is en-
phatically foul house.
Ground or crushed bone is a good
form in which to give lime.
The nests should be arranged so that
the fowls can walk in on them.
Bran is better feed for fowls than
corn because it contains more nitrogen.
An excellent feed for young chicks is
cracked or coarsely ground wheat for
the first week.
A cock that fights and picks his
mates every time they are fed is not
a good breeder, and few of his hens
eggs will ever hatch.
Cane or sorghum seed can be fed to
fowls to good advantage. 1t stimu-
lates egg production and in many ways
is good to use for variety.
For good breeder select rooster
with plump, full breast, broad across
the back, wide between the legs and
that crows often, loud and long.
1t is good plan to mate up the
fowls early, for occasionally one of the
hens will want to sit during the win
ter, and it will be best to have the eggs
ready.

Pig For Marriage Fee.

"a Lutheran minister in western
Maryland town told me an, amusing
story the other day." said gentleman
to reporter. "Some time ago as this
minister was walking along street Of
the town an old German advanced to-
ward him with extended hand. The
minister shook hands, but remarked
that he could not recall his name. oh,
yes said the old German, you remem-
Der me! am the man who gave you
pig when you married me-
1.-The minister smiled as he recalled
the incident, and as he was about to
ask about the wife the old German
said: Now tell you what I'll do.
When you married me, gave you a
pig, so I'll give you two pigs if you
now unmarry me- Baltimore Sun.

AN ANECDOTE OF WHITMAN,
How the Poet Was Trying to Cheer
Up q Friendless Boy.


One day I was stopped on Washing
ton street, says J.. T. Trowbridge in
The Atlantic, by friend who made
tn is, startling announcement: "Walt
Whitman is in town. I have just seen
him.! When asked where, he replied:
AT the stereotype foundry, just around
the corner. Come along. I'll take you
to him." The author of Leaves of
Grass had doomed so large in my
ina ginatiOn as to seem almost SUPER
human, and was filed with some
such feeling Of wonder and astonish-
sment as if had been invited to meet
Socrates or King Solomon.
We found a large, gray haired and
gray bearded, plainly dressed man,
reading proof sheets at a desk in lit
tie dingy Office, with a lank, unwhole-
some looking lad at his elbow listlessly
watching him. The man was Whit
man, and the proofs were those of his
new edition. There was a scarcity of
chairs, and Whitman, rising to receive
us, offered me his, but we all remained
who kept his seat until Whitman turn
ed to him and said: you'd better go
now. I'll see you this evening"" After
he had gone out Whitman explained:
''He is friendless boy 1 found at my
boarding place. I am trying to- cheer
him up and strengthen him with my
magnetism" a practical but curiously
prosaic illustration of these powerful
lines in the early poems:
To any one dying thither I speed and
twist the knob of the door.
I seize the descending man; 1 raise him
with resistless will.
Every room OF the house do fill with an
armed force, lovers of one, bafers
of graves.

Origin of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath as a religious institu-
ton is far older than the Pentateuchal
legislation. It, too, can be traced back
to Babylonian prototype, not, how
ever, as day of rest from labor, but:
as kind of atonement day, when by
various rites and by observing GER
tain restricted regulations the anger
of the gods could be appeased. On
this old>~institution the Hebrews in
grated their religious ideas and pro-:
duced the unique institution Of a day
observed as respite from the weeks
toll and which, from being an "inaus-,,
picious" occasion, dies ire, is viewed
as delight" Jastrow in

Looking ont For Papa.

Z a sweet little maid Of four years was
distressed the other evening because
her father did not come home to dinner
on time. Her grownup sister said to
her:
Papa is naughty, and when he
comes we won't give him any tea"
When he did come, the sister sent the
teapot out to the kitchen for fresh tea.
The baby looked on with a troubled
race and stole softly to her own room.
Shortly she returned with something
squeezed up in her tiny fist. Going up
to her sister, she whispered:
Annie, I'll give you all my pennies
+ you'll give papa his tea
And, opening her hand, she displayed
all her carefully boarded pennies

She was sweet looking girl, with as
fair pink and white complexion as
woman ever desired, and was chatting
with one Of her own sex on a Staten
Island ferryboat, while 1 was seated
so near that could not help hearing.
Several times my truant eyes deserted
my paper and stole a glance at the
face that was so attractive.
1T was the 1uckiest thing that ever
happened to me- she said to her COM
panlon, when I went into that Fifth
avenue store just to buy comb. How
little 1 thought that would be work

ever hoped to earn! 1 hesitated about

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and graceful carriage and pre-.
vents it bearing too heavily on. the
hand. The eye should be large, a little
prominent and the eyelid fine and thin.
The ear should be small and erect and
quick in motion. The lop ear indicates
dullness and stubbornness. When too
far back, there is disposition to mis-

POPPING THE QUESTION:.
Curious Methods That Prevail In
Some Foreign Countries.

Curious Methods That Prevail In
Some Foreign Countries.
In this favored land Of the free every
lovelorn swain has his own way Of
making love and popping the question,
but in some foreign countries the peas
antry has peculiar and tra1itionary
ways Of performing those pleasing
functions. Among Hungarian gypsies
cakes are used as love letters. Inside
the cakesis a coin, which is baked in
It. The cake is flung to the favored
object Of ones affections. The reten-
ton OF the cake signifies acceptance,
but If it is Sung back with force it sig
nifes rejection.
The Japanese lover wishing to make
known the state of his feelings throws
a bunch Of pale plum flower buds into
his loved ones litter as she enters it to
go to friends wedding. If she losses
the blossoms lightly out, the sutton
knows that he is rejected, but If she
fastens them to her girdle it is ooh,
happinessv' with him.
In some parts of Spain the young
peasant looks unutterable things, but
never tries to speak until he has been
accepted. The girl neither looks nor
speaks, but she sees. Late in the cool
Of the evening the youth knocks at
her fathers door and asks for a gourd
of water. 1t is Of course given to him.
Then comes the crisis. If he is invited
to take a chair within the porch or a
seat in the garden, he is an accepted
sutton, but if this civility is not ex-
tended to him he goes away knowing
that he is rejected. If he is accepted,
there is general celebration by the
family of the bride to be in honor of
her betrothal.
When the Eskimo goes a-wooing, he
walks to the house of his loved ones
parents and, Selling the object of his
affections by her long, strong hair or
her furs, carries her away to his hut
of snow or tent of skins. No matter
how much the girl may reciprocate her
suitor's affections, she always makes a
show Of resistance and tries to run
away from him, this for the sake of
preserving the conventionalities of Els
kimo society.

A Curious Boat.

According to Chinese legend, there
lived in Canton 200 years before Christ
an artist named Lin Kao Poung, who
won an immortal reputation owing to
the fact that he was able to fashion
out Of a bean pod boat, complete
with rudder, sails, mast and all other
necessary appurtenances. Moreover,
on the exterior Of the boat were en-
graved various maxims by Confucius.
For this masterpiece, it is said, the
Emperor Isl Fou paid him 1000 taels.

WILL RIDE TO HOUNDS.
Miss Alice Roosevelt is Taking Course
Of Jumping Lessons.


Miss Roosevelt has been seen leav-
ing the White House many times Of
late dressed for a ride The explana-
tion of this is just revealed to her
friends. She is taking a course of
jumping lessons. with view to fol.
lowing the hounds. She has already
learned to sit on her horse with the
greatest east and grace while going
over a four foot hurdle. and is enaDl-
ed to hold him straight over jump
after jump in quick succession. While
Miss Roosevelt has already ridden and
driven and is a good whip and horse
woman for ordinary purposes. she has
never ridden to hounds, and 1t is for
this purpose that she is now taking
the lessons. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
the presidents eldest son, joins Miss
Roosevelt in her little hurdle lessons,
and is becoming an expert as she.
