The coliseum for bicycle racing now
building on the Thunderbolt Road is
being rushed toward completion as
fast as force of twenty-five carpen-
tiers with a hustling overseer in the
person of Mr.. Prince can work. Al
ready the track proper which will
need 41,oO0 feet of Ike strips to build
is being laid. As stated before the
track will be twenty feet wide and will
be banked at the ends at an angle of
Sc degrees, and on the side at an an
gle of 80 degrees. Though these an
giles may appear unusually sharp they
are necessary to hold a motor cycle
going at the rate of a mile in l min
ute and 10 seconds.
The track will be finished. it is now
expected, by Wednesday night, and will
be Immediately put in use for training
purposes by the crack riders who will

of three heats, each rider paced by his
own fve-horse power motor cycle, be-
tween Jimmy Moran of Boston, cham
pion fifty-mile rider of the world. and

one mile each, open free for all, pro-
fessional, and two motor races. Mr..
Prince will also have races for anna
tours in which the local riders will be
given show. The prizes for these will
be gold medals.
All races will take place at night, but
this will not detract from the interest,
as the track will be lighted with 26 arc
lights, each of 1000 candle power. A
bandstand has been built in the center
of the arena and during each race
evening there will be an unlimited sup
ply of music. Also in the arena have
been built seats, with a capacity OF

DOR0THY:BROWN :ABROAD.
A New Series of the "Pfctures o
Paint Box Town."

We hope the many thousand children
who last year expressed such a lively
interest in the Paint Pictures of Doro-
thy Brown will welcome the announce
ment that, with next week, we shall
start new series of these pictures.
This time we intend to take Dorothy
on spring trip to Europe, showing the
fun she has on the steamer, and de-
picting the many queer sights of her
trip through England, Holland and
elsewhere.
AS before the verses will tell the
story and give directions for painting.
Dorothy's Cousin Reggie also goes
abroad, and they have jolly good times
seeing the sights together.
We shall be glad to hear from any of
our young readers as to how they are
pleased with the idea of this new SER
les.
Between now and next Sunday we
rather think there will be a general
overhauling of paint brushes and a re-
plenishing of the paint box.

An experience made in the great am
bulance maneuvers at Karlsruhe, IN
Baden, by the general commanding the
Fourteenth Army Corps ambulance
was decisive of the great ability of the
dogs in that service. In the first trial
by daylight, two dogs were used, cross
bred shepherd dogs. The judge of the
trials ordered the edge of close forest
to be searched by these animals for
a distance of half a mile in length by
a quarter of a mile in width, and after
twenty minutes the dogs had discov-
cred eleven men representing the
wounded. In the night trial, the
ground to be searched was forest
land with thick underground of black
berry bushes The night was pitch
dark, and the three dogs which were
sent out could be followed by their
keepers only with the greatest din,

Atlanta, April 1s.-The funeral of w.

Nelson to have the body inferred in
the Episcopal lot at Oakland Gene
terey. This was stopped by the ceme-
terry authorities, and Mayor Mimms then
issued an order permitting it. This
order was revoked as soon as the May
or learned that he had no authority to
issue it, and permission was then given
to place the body in the cemetery
vault. That was revoked pretty soon
afterwards as the result of an adverse
opinion of the city attorney. Finally
it was decided to inter the body in
the lot of Collector H. A. Rucker, and
the funeral proceeded about four hours
late.

Prevent Diseases.

1t is easier and cheaper to prevent
disease among poultry than it is to
cure it.
Fowls that are OF a hardy strain will
remain healthy under normal condi-
tons, but neglect them and the entire
flock will become diseased, and in most
cases the cost and labor required to
right the trouble will be greater than
the value of the fowls.
A few moments time each morning
or evening will suffice to clean of the
dropping boards, rake off the filth from
the fooc and supply fresh water for
the drinking fountain.
Once every two weeks kerosene
should be poured over the ~roosts, and
limo sprinkied over dToppings boards
and floors.
The old litter should be removed
from the scratching shed once every
month and new, fresh straw put in its
place. &&fAf
If a single fowl looks durlpy it
should at once be separated from the
flock and be given especial attention.
A few days of quiet will almost in
every case bring them around all right,
and they can be returned to the yard
with the others.-Home and Farm.

Winter Care OF Hens.

A great many farmers pay but little
attention to their hens through the
winter season. They expect u small
profit and usually get less. The more
W care for hens the better we learn
these methods. At last we determined
to have Il warm, dry house for our
poultry, so We built a good substantial
frame building, ceiling the walls with
rough lumber, and filling In dirt to
soil: this made them u warm, dry
home. We started in the winter with
about ninety-lve pullets. We decided
to feed them Systematically, using egg
producing feed as far as we could, so
they were given the following ration:
Bran mash, with cooked turnips or
potatoes, and meat meal in it for
breakfast, wheat for dinner and corn
in the evening. In addition to this
they were furnished with plenty of
grit and water; they were also given
considerable milk to drink part OF the
time. On cold, snowy days they were
kept in the hen-house. During the
cold spell last February they were
kept confined for about one month, but
they layed right along. We sold eggs
to the amount OF sS9.74 from january
list to May 31st. and those that We're
used ct home were not counted. The
cost OF feeding the flock was about
twenty cents per Cay. So / feel well
