POULTRY POINTERS.

A healthy fowl will drink fifteen or
twenty times Il day.
Sharp gravel should always be sup
piled to fowls that are fattened in close
confinement.
Box nests are all right il made large
enough, the size depending upon the
breed of fowls.
Linseed meal is excellent as an egg
producing meal, but it should be fed in
connection with coarse or bulky foods.
Soft eggs laid before the shell has
formed are caused by overlooking. Give
less food and more pounded shells or
limewater.
\ varied diet for poultry is neces-
sary help to their general health and
has much TO do with their value as
breeders.
If disease appears and resists rene
dies, it is better TO begin with new
stock than TO breed from those that
have been sick long time.
A light, sandy soil is always best for
poultry yard. \ heavy clay soil is al
ways damp and, unless care is taken.

ing dry, will promote warmth

ANATOMY OF AN OYSTER.
The Bivnlve's Organs Are NumeroS'
and Its Heart Quite HumnnlIlSc.

Every oyster has mouth. 4 heart, a

gently pushing bodkin or a piece of
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
of the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located.
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and Il consid-
cradle distance toward the stomach
without causing the oyster the least
pain whatever. From this mouth there
is of course Il miniature canal leading
TO the stomach. Food passes from this
canal TO the stomach and from the lat

the true heart, the pulsations of which
can be readily seen without the aid of
glass. The heart is very humanlike,
made of two parts. one of which re-
ceivcs the blood from the gills through
a network of real blood vessels; tho
other portion contracts and drives the
blood out through the body. The other
organs of an oysters anatomy are all
in their proper places and perform

Historic Connagrations.

A list of great cities burned would be
a list of nearly all the great capitals of
the world. PersepOlis, the splendid res
idence of long series of rulers whose
tributary provinces extended from the
Indus TO the Hellespont, was burned,
with all its palaces and temples; Baby
lon and Carthage were so utterly de-
stroyed that their very location has be-
come matter of doubt. Rome was
burned eight times. Jerusalem four
times, and, though they rose from their
ashes.
The second temple is not like the first.
Athens, Syracuse, Bagdad, AleXan-
drid and Antioch now exhibit only a
shadow of their former grandeur. The
PhUnicians, like the Spartans and AS
syrians. disappeared with the ruin of
their capitals, but the most fateful con-
flagration recorded in the history of
the world is perhaps that of Moscow.
"They talk as if the fate of Europe
had been decided at Waterloo" says
De Bourienne in his memoirs of the
first empire. IF Napoleon had beaten
Wellington and Blucher dozen times,
it could not have retrieved the reverses
of the three preceding years. The truth
is that the French Caesar and his for
tune were ruined by the burning of
Moscow. That city was the funeral
pile of the great nation"

Man More Liquid Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation of a living body is
bathed in moisture by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones, which appear
TO be the most solid of all, owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid.
That our bodies contain large
amount of fluid is proved in a striking
manner by the blisters which rise after
the inflicti0n of burn.
Water in fact, plays a very impor-
tant part in the human anatomy, for it
is through its agency that the vital
processes of digestion, absorption and
the eXcretiOn of waste products are
carried out.
To reduce the whole matter to figures
and taking 154 pounds to be the total
weight of an average full grown man,
it is said that water alone accounts for
100 pounds of the whole.

THE AMERICAN SAILOR.
He Works and Plays Hard and Spins
Great Yarns.

The sailors life is not altogether one
of hard work, and on the whole he has
very good time. Dancing, gymnas-
tics, fencing, boxing and boat racing
fill his leisure hours. His natural fond
ness for pets is proverbial, and there
are few ships without mascot, be it
a goat, dog or Dennis the pig, which
serves to tighten the hours of the dull
watches at sea. Many stories are told
of the prowess of ships pets ut night
on the forecastle, when the hammocks
are down and the pipes lighted. one
man spins yarn of cat that was
born in an old boiler cruised $4,000
miles in one ship, established great
reputation as Il fighter in all parts of
the world and finally ended his adven-
turous career on the coral reefs of Sa-
moa, says Il writer in the Worlds
Work. Another tells of monkey
without ears or tail, with which he
sailed in the China seas, whose fond
ness for liquid paint produced period
ical attacks of blindness. There is Il
story of Il dissipated dog who never
lost an opportunity to get drunk and
who always recognized the bugle call
for the gig and invariably ran to the
gangway when it sounded to go ashore
with the captain. But the best of all
is the one of the pet bear who chased Il
young officer up the mizzen rigging
Fortunate indeed is the animal that
falls into the hands of a sailor.
THE sailor man has his vagaries,"
once said the bishop of Shanghai over
the coffin of sailor who had taken his
own life, but he is the tenderest heart
ed creature into which God ever
breathed the breath of life"

Why Grass GROWS HoIloM.

The stems of grass and oats are usu-
ally hollow, and the knots of nodes
which occur at intervals and which
have peculiar degree of firmness, de-
rived from the interlacing of fibers,
give them firmness and strength
which they would otherwise lack. If
the material of wheat straw were in q
solid form. it would make but thin
wiry stem, which would snap with

Folsom, Cal, July 3i.--The convict

miles from Lotus.
This information comes from the shcr-

ocivcd by Capt. X. ]. Murphy
The Auburn office states that a message
was received from Sheriff David Reese OF
the Sacramento county posse. who had just
come III from the woods announcing that
there is no doubt the prisoners have been
located as indicated.
This is the location generally which
Sheriff Bosquit, Captain Swislcr and Cap

have been in since last Monday night.
Sheriff Kcena and his posse and the
militia were going TO close in on the sus-
poets.
The Tobncr mine. near which the CON
yicts are supposed to be, is not far from
the mouth OF the Weber creek and in that
vicinity is a deserted cabin, stocked with
provisions.
Considerable criticism OF the attempt 10
catch the escapes by the aid of the militia
is INDUCED in at Folsom.
1t is said that every move that the sol
diers make is preceded by a buglc call,
which is sent rcvorberating through the
