The Recapture of Fort San Carlos

PANAMA, April 22.-Advices have
been received here from the north to
the effect that the reported recapture
of Fort San Carlos, at the Lake Mica
ragua entrance of the San Juan river,
by forces operating under President
Zelaya of Nicaragua is entirely with
out foundation.
The revolution in Nicaragua is
spreading throughout the country, and
the movement seems to have gained
Honduras. The Nicaraguan revolution
lists have captured three armed lake
steamers and twenty-one sailing YES

How often we hear it said. cit is worth
while to travel to have the joy of getting
home again. One never realizes how good
home IS till one has been away from it for
some time" How seldom we comprehend
the disgrace involved in that remark For
it IS our business to understand the joys OF
home. 1t is our business to appreciate it
while we are at home, and while our appre-
citation can do our dear ones and the pre-
clous home life some good, and not wait
till We go away or till some confused re-
turn: whose transient emotions are so
speedily forgotten. Home-wellness thinks
every morning as we rise: "How good it Is
to be a member of this household How
blltheiy the sun shines in at my window
How / bless God for this good homei".
Home-wellness looks around at the break
fast table upon all the dear ones there,
and shines out its gratitude from beaming
eyes, and carols it out with CHEEKY laugh
and loving praises. Home-weliness goes
through the entire day with a song in the
heart. 1t irradiates the whole family with
its satisfaction, for home-wellness is very
contagious. 1t makes every one work bet
ter and play better. And when the even
ing comes, and the sacred night takes the
home IN its keeping. it is a home of thanks
giving and peace that it broods under its
ebon wings. Homesickness is said to pro-
duce, very often, physical results as serious
as a genuine disease; indeed, 1t deserves to
be ranked with the diseases of the body as
well as the maladies of the soul. But
home-wellness Is the opposite of disease;
it is the household health.-Christian En-
deavor World.

AGRICULTURAL
Poultry ON Small Areas.

Poultry ON Small Areas.
Several Of the poultry papers are
printing articles showing that it is
possible for one to make a good living
from poultry raised on a small area.
It Is noticed that receipts are based on
prices for eggs. ranging from 20 cents
Q dozen in the summer to GO cents O
dozen in the winter. 1t is unfair to
print articles Of this kind, for there
are very few places where 60 cents q
dozen IAN be had for eggs. If one can
average half that price the year around
ne Is doing remarkably well. On the
other hand. there is no doubt but what
poultry can be profitably raised on q
small area. though there is some ques.
ton II one could obtain a living for an
entire family by such a plan, assuming
that both eggs and carcasses were
sold to consumers at average retail
prices. Under the best possible con.
ditiQns 1t is unusual to realize more
than one dollar per head profit per year
on an average, so that the receipts can
be figured opt readily. True, the
former who is In a position to raise
bis own feed for poultry will average
q greater profit per hen, provided he
viii give them the necessary care tor
best results. There is money in raising
poultry. but there are no fortunes IN
the work, even under the most unusual
conditions.-Indianapolis News.

Kept Hour by Hour.

He was a tall, powerful Seotchman and
had held the position of boss striker at
the steel works for years. Nearly all the
men In his department were hard drinkers,
and he was no exception to the rule.
But one day it was announced smong the
workmen that he had become religious;
and, sure enough, when pressed to tax a
drink, he said: II shall never take a drink
MAR. lads. Ma drunkard can inhabit the
kingdom of God"
A knowing one smiled and said: Wait
a bit; wait a bit. Wait until the hot
weather-until July. When he gets as dry
as a gravelpit, then he will give in. He
can't help it"
But right through the hottest months
he never seemed to be tempted to drink.

A True Christian.

Children enjoy music long before they
understand the color, scale and the laws
of harmony. Indeed, millions 90 through
life enjoying the beautiful in nature and
art without ever knowing anything about
the laws by which colors complement each
other. Also millions go through life as
Christians without ever stopping to work
out philosophically their ideas about the
Bible or the church or the creed. And yet
they are Christians, because they are loyal
to Christ. History tells of a young paint
grinder in the studio of ltaly's great mas
ter who developed striking evidences of
skill. When an enemy Of the great
teacher came to the boy and urged him to
found a school of his own, saying that
wealth and honors and invitations to kings
palaces might be his, the youth answered
IN effect: Il am not ambitious to found a
school or dwell in a palace, but / am am
bilious to catch Raphaefs spirit and repro
duce in myself his ideals" Now, that sim
pie thought condenses in a word the es-
sence of the Christian life. 1t is an ambi-
ton to rise to the level of Christs
thoughts, to feel His throb Of sympathy
toward the poor and weak, to abhor evil
as He abhorred it, to hunger for righteous
ness as He hungered for it and to walk
with our Father as Christ walked with
His. He is a Christian who is loyal to
Christ in thoughts, sympathies, friend
ships, purposes aud ideals.-Newell Dwight

Pudding at Beginning of Dinner.

The custom Of serving pudding as
the first course at dinner seems to- have
interested a good many people Of our
day. A gentleman from Maine informs
the writer that it Is still the custom
il certain sections Of his State. In the
autobiography Of the Adams family it
is mentioned that at a dinner given by
the venerable former President Of the
United States, at which his grandchil-
dren were present, the first course was
Indian pudding" and the little folks
were told that the more pudding they
ate the more beef they could have-so
Of course they gorged themselves on
the pudding, and as Q consequence had
no appetite for beef when 1T was
served. Thus were maintained the
simple and economical methods of u
forefathers. The boys who came to the
city from the country, and later be-
came the successful and wealthy mer-
chants of Boston, were raised in a
most frugal manner. Their breakfast
the year round was Of brown bread and
milk; the same for their supper; the
dinner was of baked beans and pie;
rarely any meat.-Boston Transcript.

Famous Horses.

1t is strange that nc one seems to
know anything abort the various
horses that George Washington rode,
and that the names of them all seem

loo, and whose remains r now in the
United States Museum at London. The
Duke of Wellington was astride Of CO.
penhagen during the battle and the
horse lived to be twenty-seven. Rich

Mcdonald, Washington Dairy and

If you 60 into the home Of the first
class Of men you will find agricultural
papers; you will find a reader; a mai
who has a thinker and is using it. He
may not be a graduate Of any agricul-
tural college, but he is a self-educated
man. who received a large part Of his
education from the agricultural
papers. How much more advanced he
would have been if he had learned
the rudiments at the agricultural col
lege. But the greater honor is due to
self-educatiOn than to a college-edu.
Gated man. Still, if progress was to
depend on self-education we would re-
semble the ant.
l am a firm believer that the duty
Of every State is to place a premium
on agricultural pursuits. The most inn
portant brench-e q Z G3;i ea l,ttssre IS dairy
ing. The growth OF cereals depends
on dairying to return its elements to
the soil Of which the soil has been
robbed by their growth. Dairying en-
riches the soil, while growth of cereals
impoverishes it. Therefore, no branch
Of agriculture should be fostered and
encouraged as much as the dairying
industry.-Tennessee Farmer.

For the Winter Diet.


Through the summer the diet of the
hens has been somewhat restricted,
grain and especially corn having
proved almost too f~attening and heat.
ing for the weather; but with the first
Indications Of the bleak days the
poultry should have their full winter
diet. This should be given for the
purpose Of increasing the general
health and strength Of the hens and
then for eggs. Hens which do not
have splendid health and strength can
not prove good layers of eggs. The
two go together. You may feed hens
on stimulating foods SO they will lay
a few extra eggs, but in a short time
they will give out and prove worthless.
The first thing should be to aim for a
good, all-round diet that will make the
birds healthy and strong. Grain. corn,
scraps Of meat, bread, and such table
leavings should be fed to them liber-
ally. Do not forget the seeds, which
in the fall of the year can be collected
in considerable quantities. Hens like
the seeds Of flowers, vegetables and
weeds. They enjoy eating them out
Of the pods, and the plants where
possible should be cut down and
thrown into the chicken yard. The
work Of collecting them will do the
hens good.
Grain and orn r essential now.
You cannot neglect these without n
dangering the health Of the birds.
Whether spring chickens or laying
hens, they should have their daily
grain ration. Bran cooked or scalded
is an excellent food for them, and fed
hot or cool mornings it proves of great
benefit. Overlooking, Of course, must
he avoided. Too much corn and grains
will make the hens fat and lazy. and
cause indigestion, which will ruin all
the good obtained. To avoid laziness
make the hens work part Of the day
for their food. Turn them loose in
some straw with the grain scattered
around in it. and then make them
scratch for it. There are many ways
to make the laying hens keep their
health even when fed daily on a full.
well-rounded diet.
Green bones carefully ground, and
oyster and clam shells pounded very
fine, are all good in their way, and they
do help to incrGalse~tne egg output; but
not unless the rest Of the diet is good
and wholesome. 1t is folly to think
that the ground bone will make more
eggs when the hens are barely getting
enough to eat to keep body and soul
together. There must be a surplus Of
food in the system, and then something
fed to stimulate egglaying may divert
a part of this surplus to the hens
proper function instead Of letting it
all go to fat. Care must be taken that
the hens do not get fat; any such ten
dency should be checked, for fat hens
do not law many eggs. Strong, active
hens, well fed and contented. do
