POULTRY POINTERS.

Keep the turkey hens tame by feed
ing them close to the house.
When the fowls have free range,
one cock to every fifteen or twenty
hens is sufficient.
The games have more meat for their
size than any other fowl They grow
slowly but are solid and firm.
Cooping up the mother hen and al
lowing the chickens to run around is
the safest and most economical plan.
Wooden floors close to the ground alb
sorb the damp from the earth, and the
atmosphere OF the house is always
moist.
Bone meal will greatly assist the
growth and development of bone in
chickens and in great measure pre-
vent leg weakness.
The nests must be renewed occasion
ally and kept clean. Clean, dry straw
is the best nesting material. Tobacco
stems will help to keep away yermin.
If it is DESTROYS to have the greatest
number of pounds of meat from the
smallest quantity of feed, select the
large breed--Dorkins, COchins or Brah-
mas.

BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
Not Nearly So Many Taken Nowa-
days as There Used to he.

Not Nearly So Many Taken Nowa-
days as There Used to he.
Brides are probably just as beautiful
now as ever they were, but they are
not nearly SO anxious to record their
postnuptial loneliness by means of pho
tographs Most photographers say they
are glad Of it.
Il never did enjoy taking the pictures
Of brides" said photographer Like
all the rest of the world | love the dear
creatures, but when it comes down to
81 dozen commercialism they do not
satisfy my artistic instincts Few brides
take a good picture. Somehow their
toys are not becoming. A bride is sup
posed to look superlatively lovely on
her wedding day, but If anybody dared
TO tell the truth on the subject that SUI
perstitiOn soon would be exploded and
the sweet things would realize that, in
stead of looking their best on that oc-
casion, most of them are apt to look
their worst. 1t is the same way when
they come to be photographed in their
wedding tinery. They are either too
pale or too red, and they have nery-
Gus, anxious expression that robs the
face of all good lines for Photographic
purposes.
THE time was when no bride consid-
cred herself really married until she
had arrayed herself in spotless white
and had her picture taken. Generally
he came with her. and he looked just
about as foolish as she did. Goodness,
the trouble | have had posing brides
and bridegrooms before the camera!
Instead of telling them to look pleas
ant l always felt like saying, Don't
look idiotic If you can possibly help it,
and then I would have to think up
some device to keep her from scrouging
down too close against his shoulder and
to keep him from responding with an
equally inappropriate embrace. But
with all my precautions l never fully
succeeded in preventing their acting
like lunatics. The other day when look
ing over a lot of old negatives l came
across several hundred of those senti-
mental combinations, and | thanked
my lucky stars that nowadays few
newly mated couples have the camera
craze" -Chicago Record Herald.

place of intaglio matrices employed
on the Mergenthaler, and not only
setting a line in type at the touch of
the keys, instead of line of reverses
to be fill, d with molten metal, but
actually printing 1t at the same time,
SO that as the line was set it was
printed. BY means of this an ad-
Vertlsement could be set and then q
photo-engraving made of it and
used on the press. The idea was
abandoned as too rad. cal, but the
start on invention once begun was
pushed on different lines. Several
years passed in this way, and it was
as late as 1897 before matters began
to take definite shape. In the mean
time Mr.. Brown had interested
others in his scheme and was no lon
ger alone.
The printer with a friend was
walking on Frederick street one day,
passing the Ryan Type Foundry, at
the corner of Water street.
Did you ever see them make
type?" Brown asked of his friend.
NO" he replied.
Then let's go up and see it done"
said Brown, 81 don't know these peo-
pie, but | guess we won't be thrown
out, and up they went.
John E. Hanrahan, the foreman,
met them and Brown introduced
himself and his friend. They talked
for a few minutes, during which
time Mr.. Hanrahan sized up his in
5erlocutor and in the end certain
statements of the latter's aroused
his interest. Brown replied freely to
questions, with the result that the
two made an engagement for the fol-
lowing day, Hanrahan to visit Brown
and talk with him about his plan.
Mr.. Hanrahan regarded the PROPOSE
ton AS so far fetched that he really
wished to see it and explode it as he
had done a number of others.
When Hanrahan came in he said:
Now | want to tell you, Mr.. Brown.
that | am simply here today as a
practical man to ascertain your
ideas, provided you are willing to
disclose them.
Brown concluded that he could
make no progress working under q
bushel basket and showed his plans,
explaining them fully, trusting to
Mr.. Hanrahan's honor for protection.
The result was that the two Joined
forces in the matter. Mr.. Hanrahan
wanting to go to Washington at
once for a caveat, which WAS done.
Concerning the machine itself the
article says in part:
'The obstacles which these m an
met and overcame read like u fairy
tale. Men talk of u thOusandth of an
inch, and you know that there really
is such division, but these men
male instruments, which measure
not only thOusandth, but a tenth of
u thousandth of an inch, and their
machine is made on just such niceties
as this. The machine works auto
matically, and if anything goes
wrong it stops and works no more
until the wrong is made right. 1t
won't hurt itself and no discretion is
left to the operator to hurt it. A
man can, of course, go into 1t with an
TX and break it, after demolishing
his AK on the hard steel, but the I'M
skilled handling of u stupid work
man will only stop the machine, and
keep it stopped until the cause for
the stoppage is removed
Mr.. Brown spent q large part of
last winter in Crescent City, and all
who met him then as well as the
friends of his boyhood days will con-
graduate him on his great achieve
ment.

There has been a band of travelling
people about here of late. Some call
Them Gypsies. Be that as it may

hardest looking old horses ever seen

knock kneed, blind and other intirm-
tiles too numerous to mention. There
seems to be about twenty people IN
the band. Now, the question is,
how do they manage to liver Oi

She has too fine an orange grove to

Tn Fez, the capital of Morocco, most of the houses consist of several stories, each being provided with light ve- the rooms. All the windows and doors open out into the patio, or courtyard, the window openings in the upper sto- ries being covered with close trellis- work. All the houses have flat roofs, with a wall some four to six feet high running around, and from 4 p. III. until sunset the roofs are given over to the ladies exclusively, who can then walk about and take the fresh air without This reservation is a law which is never broken, and no man would be guilty of being seen on his or on any other roof during the forbidden hours. Owing to the fact that the women of the house are not allowed to be seen by any other man than their lord and master all domestic offices are situated away from the house proper. In many of the larger houses, besides the water fountains, others playing scent or scented water are to be found. Sec tions of the courtyard also are slightly sunk, and these portions are filled with scented oil, which Is used to perfume the rooms. The Moors are exception ally particular in discarding their foot gear before entering a room or cross- ing a rug or carpet. They even change slippers before entering the courtyard from the street. Thus the houses are kept beautifully clean and sweet and are not, as many people would suppose, musty Or close.

N.sNerinE Books.

To cover paper bound books take two pieces of cardboard a tiny bit larger than book. Paste fly leaves at front and back to cardboard, which of course is outside. Then take a strip of strong cotton cloth; paste 1t down back of book; have it wide, so it will cover about one inch of each piece of card board, thereby joining the two pieces together. Now put cover of brown paper over all, pasting securely, and your decorated cover goes over this.
 The books may be covered with deco rated silk, pique or duck if you paint or embroider, but the simplest way is to cover with tissue paper (not crape). Paste a pretty card on the front and after cutting title and authors name from old cover arrange them prettily on the new one.

His Distinguished Uncle.

A young lady, the beautiful daughter of a western congressman, was intro duced on her arrival in Washington to a dapper young government official, a relative of the late Thomas F. Bayard. During their talk about the Delaware statesman she pronounced his name as 1t is spelled, giving the first "a" it's long sound The young man felt it his duty to correct her, saying that the name was pronounced "Byard." A few days later he sent her a note ask ing for the privilege of entertaining her and some friends who were visit ing her from the west by taking them to dinner at his club. In the reply that she wrote she said she would have been pleased to accept his invitation, only the messenger that he had "hayard" seemed very "tayard" and had daIlied upon the way, so that she had entered into another engagement before the note reached her. However, if he "desayard" her company at some future time she would be "alfayard" glad to hear from him again.-Chicago Record-Herald
