Sore shoulders Of Work Horses.

surface. The cover is put on by neatly
sewing it with strong thread so that it

the horses shoulders in this respect
is caused by sweating, and as the OIL

SALT IN POULTRY FOOD.

Many people labor under the mis-.
taken impression that no salt should
ever be put into poultry food. simply
because highly sailed food, such as salt
fish or old picked meat, always kills
chickens. AS a matter Of fact. no liv-
ing thing can get along entirely With
out salt says Prairie Farmer Chick
ems can always get salt In summer by
eating grass which absorbs a certain
amount from the soil But In winter
il is different. During cold weather all
prepared chicken foods, such as mushes
AID boiled vegetable mashes, should be
salted in about the same proportion as
for human food II this is done, the
poultry will be both healthier and more
productive.

Preventive Medicine.

In looking I'VE the. history of the
search for a means of cure, one is
struck by the great value of the ounce
Of prevention. Keeping the germs out
is in every way preferable to dealing
with the matter they have once entered
the body. This fact scientific medicine
is impressing more and more deeply
on the minds of public authorities and
the people, and their response in the
form Of provisions for improved public
and private sanitation is one of the
striking features of the social progress
Of the present time. Ali the more en-
lightened nations, States and cities of
the world possess organized depart.

In Darkest Africa.

1.-THE recent work by Sir Harry
Johnston on the Uganda protectorate,"
said an African traveller a short time
ago, 'has served to show the British
people that this country is one of the
most interesting as well as one of the
most valuable of British possessions.
'"The total area is 100000 square
miles, and in this vast territory may be
found every aspect of negroid ciyiliza-
ton. But it's scenery is even more
varied. How many people, for in
stance, would dream that there on the
very equator is to be found a regular
Alpine range? Yet that is the fact, and
in this range is to be found the great
Mount RuWenZori, rising probablys2O,'
600 feet in the air, it's summit always
enveloped in clouds, and covered with
snow and ice.
"The kingdom of Uganda is one Of
the best organized and most civilized
African negro kingdoms. The Baganda
natives described as the Japanese of
Central Africa are tall and muscular,
standing over six feet in height. They
are courteous and honest, their chief
vice being drunkenness. They make
excellent soldiers.
ION the western slope of Mount
Elgon are to be found the Masaba, de-
graded and Simianlike negroes, who
are wilder even than the Congo dwarfs.
They are hostile and probably repre-
sent the most aboriginal race Of ne
groes in Africa.
"~Cannibalism is practically unknown
among the different races, although
some tribes deyour the raw flesh of
animals Immediately after killing. The
chiefs are worshiped as spirits, and
generally are buried in the huts in
which they lived. In some cases, how
ever, the corpses are exposed and are
devoured by hyenas."-New York Trib-

Punishment Swift and Dire.

There was recently an instance of
laWlessness at Tsing-kiangpu, China,
which is not often seen. Every one
knows how carefully secluded an in
tended bride is until she crosses her
husbands threshold. The other day a
bridal procession was delayed in its
progress by a drawbridge, and while
the chair was standing there some
roughs came up and proposed to have
a look at the bride. The friends OBJ
jected, and a fight ensued, in which the
friends were worsted and the roughs
had a good look at the bride. The mat
ter was carried to the magistrate; he
acted promptly, and in a short time
two headless bodies were lying on the
execution ground. 1t was evidently

THE wHIp-POOR-WILL.
THE wHIp-POOR-WIL
BY HENRY VAN DYKE.

What did I know of trouble?
An idle little lad,
I had not learned the lessons
That make men wise and sad.
I dreamed of grief and parting,
And sometimes seemed to fill
My heart with tears, while in my ears
Resounded, "Whip-poor-will."
Twas but a shadowy sadness,
That lightly passed away;
But I have known the substance
Of sorrow, since that day.
For nevermore at twilight,
Beside the silent mill,
I'll wait for you, in the falling dew,
And hear the whip-poor-will.
But if you still remember,
In that fair land of light,
The pains and fears that touch us
Along this edge of night,
! think all earthly grieving,
And all our mortal i'll,
To you must seem like a boys sad dream,
Who hears the whip-poor-will.

The Worlds Work says: We came
near permitting (for we long ignorant
ly encouraged) the Indians to lose their
native handicrafts, as basket-making
and blanket weaving; and the same
sort Of carelessness loses to us, no
doubt, many of the useful occupations
of the European peasantry. We might
import them all; WI do import them all
and fail to encourage them. Then we
go to Europe and pay high prices for
objects that might be made in our own
cities by the natives of all the lands
that we ransack. Our country ought to
be the home of as many handicrafts
as it is Of different peoples.

The French minister of public works
has just forbidden the culture of all
fruits or vegetables destined to be
eaten raw in the ground which has
been Watered with water drawn from
sewers or likely to be contaminated by
drains. This decision is based on the re-
suits of recent experiences. which prove
that tuberculosis baeilli, which lose
their virulence at the end of three
months in river water, conserve it for
ten months in sewer water; that bacil-
Ii that have been in the ground are still
harmful at the end of three months,
and that, poured into the ground on
which fruit and vegetables are cultivat-
ed, they contaminate the products

Do you remember, father
1t seems so long ago
The day we fished together
Along the Pocono?
At dusk | waited for you,
Beside the lumber mill,
And there I heard a hidden bird,
That chanted "Whip-poor-will."
Tha place was all deserted;
The mill-wheel hung at rest;
The lonely star of evening
Wa quivering in the west;
The veil Of night was falling;
The winds were folded still;
And everywhere the trembling air
Re-echoed, "Whip-poor-will."
'7.8u seemed so long in coming,
re{ felt so much alone;
The wide, dark world was round me,
And life was all unknown;
The hand Of sorrow touched me,
And made my senses thrill
With all the pain hat haunts the strain
Of mournful "whip-poor-will."

Model Community Established

led to believe that her marriage to the
army officer was invalid, and that, to
save her name, she married John Muir
ray Dowie.
John Murray Dowie was a Congre-
gational minister of comfortable for
tune, and young Dowie received fair
foundation for his education under
him and in the board schools of his
native town. In 1860 the family re-
moved to Adelaide. Australia, and for
seven years young Dowie served as
clerk in a mercantile establishment.
In 1867, when he was 20 years old,
Dowie returned to Scotland, and, on
the money he had saved while work
ing in Australia, took five years
course in the university.
Dowie. on graduation from the d.
vinity school, at once took orders in
the Congregational church, and, in
1872, returned to Australia and began
preaching at Congregational church
in Newtown, suburb of Sydney. He
continued in his work with success,
his magnetic oratoricar powers draw
ing large crowds wherever he
preached.
In 1878 (by divine direction, he
says) Dowie suddenly deserted the
Congregational church and started as
an evangelist, preaching healing by
faith. His power at once attracted at
tention. He declares that he first
learned of his power to heal by cur
ing a girl of wasting disease that
had already killed thirty members of
his congregation. Since that time faith
healing has been the cardinal doc
trine of Dowie. He went to Mel
h,ril FOL
ernacle, and began his work. In ten
years he had built up large congre-
CATION, but he was not satisfied. He
deserted his tabernacle. leaving it in
the care of one of his converts, and
started for England. He had money,
but not large amount.
1t was in 1890 that Dowie dawned
upon Chicago. Out in Western Springs,
a little prairie suburb at that time,
Dowie started in ito fight sin" in Chi
cago. In the spring of the following
year Dowie moved upon Evanston, and
there he remained until the spring of
the worlds fair year, when, with a
dozen followers, he rented a house
down near the Midway. and, almost
with his own hands, he built Zion tab
ernacle No. 1.
With the fair Dowie's success began.
A little further north there arose
Zion tabernacle No. 2. The dozen fol-
lowers had become hundreds. The
health authorities attacked Dowie
Dowie abused them. Then Zion taber-
nacle No. 3, seating 1000 persons, was
erected.
On Feb. %, 1896, Dowie organized
the Christian Catholic church in Zion
and appointed himself general over

overseer- His work began to attract
aslention all over the country Con-
verts rushed into Chicago and began
to congregate around the tabernacles.
Dowie was growing.
His idea from the first was the CEN

followers into the treasury of Zion,
and he grew rich amazingly fast, for

In 1899 Dowie began preparations
for his general move. His agents
went to work quietly and bought up
land along the lake above Waukegan,
forty-two miles from Chicago and

Dowie Quarreled- Stevenson went TO
court with his troubles, and disobeyed

as the receivers.
AS the result of conferences with
legal representatives of the receivers,
the head of Zion is making every eff
fort to raise a fund of $1,000,000.
If this is accomplished-and Dowie
is preparing to call on his tens of
thousands of followers to give their
all to the cause-it is probable that
Dowie will be allowed to administer
the distribution of this regeneration
fund as general manager of Zion and
it's industries. but all this under SUI
pervision and direction of the receiv-
ers, who are supported by the FEEDER
al court.
The immediate sum for which
Dowie is responsible amounts to about
100000, and by Jan. the liabilities
of Zion City, it is alleged, will aggre-
gate $685., 900 more. THE Restorer''
insists he is perfectly solvent, and
claims the petition for receivers is
