August Poultry Notes.

snn and heat are an absolute neces-

young.
Insects of all kinds increase, grow
and thrive at this time; where they
are. the fowls cannot live in peace or
comfort.
Cleanliness is the only preventive
or cure for the insect pest; cleanli-
ness is the n sure rule for success
with turkeys, chickens or pheasants
not an occasional clean up, but
continued cleanliness. Keeping con-
tinually at tin season, out of sea-
son. week in and week out-iS the
only rule that can be laid down for
assured success in any business.
Keep a n eye on the growing pull
let's; have the best of them for your
winter layers. Don't kill or sell the
best early ones, for in them is invest
ed your egg product for the coming
winter. If sold or killed, your chance
for winter eggs from the leavings is
poor indeed. Always select and keep
the very best of the pullets for your
self; sell the cockerels you don't
need and the Gull pullets; keep a few
of the very best cockerels and all the
best pullets.
The summer is half spent. With
the ending of this month begins the
season of death and decay for all
vegetation; on the heels of this
comes the season of moult for fowl.

all these conditions, and care for our

GIRL SLAYs JAGUAR.
How Fanny Ney Became One of the
 Heroines of Texas.
By Killing the Monarch of Packsad- d1e Mountain She Won a Hus- band as We'll as Rare
 Hunting Trophy.

The monarch of the Packsaddle mountains has been slain and the ranchers of the valleys are rejoicing and loud in their praises of the brave young woman who put an end to the career of the beast.
 The old monarch was monster jaguar, one of the largest and fiercest of the species that was ever killed in Texas. He had preyed upon the herds and focks of the Packsaddlel ranchers and terrorized the people of that section for five years. Big. rewards were of fered at different times for his scalp, and old hunters with large packs of trained hounds frequently pursued him.
 A neighborhood hunt was finally orr ganized and notice was sent to every rancher in the Packsadd1e mountains and valleys to meet at designated To- calities on the next day with arms and dogs. Few people had any faith in the successful termination of the chase, from the fact that they had failed upon so many former occasions. The final hunt, however, had one new clement the women.
 The young women. were particularly in earnest, and they repaired early tc the various meeting places, well mount ed, and most of them we'll armed.
 Chance and Cupid here joined hands Miss Fanny Ney, granddaughter of g brother of Napoleon's favorite marshal was one of the most determined and spirited of the crowd of hunters. She was one of the first to arrive on the ground. She was mounted an magni. ficent horse, but she complained that she had been unable to secure goot gun My brothers she said, "havt appropriated all of the rifles about oul house. and I have been forced to con.

roadn Found In Rocks.

Amazing" saidVa scientist, ..is the popularity of the belief that toadsS live for long spaces of time iR rocks. Only last week quarryman sent to me a toad that he had found imbedded, he stid, in a solid block of stone. Of course there is no truth in the idea that these Reptiles can exist shut up for years without food and air, but there is truth Tn the stories of their being found in rocks. The rocks, though, are not sol Id, as the finders incline to think, and the toads have only been in them, it is probable, for few hours instead of for years and years. Toads, you see, take naturally to seQuestered places to clifts in rocks or trees. A quarry man or a lumberman breaks into a rock or tree. finds live toad inn bedded and thinks the reptile has been there since time began. As matter of fact the toad has but recently crawled there through a little passage of some sort. but the passage Is so we'll concealed that the eyes of the man have failed to disclose it."-Phila- delphia Ledger.

Hts Name Wa. o,Gradx,

An English tourist. on his arrival at Dublin, hired an Lsish cabby, to take him and his baggage to one of the principal hotels. When he arrived at his destination he gave the driver half a crown. The cabby looked at it in supreme contempt and asked him what that was for.
 That is your fare," said the Eng Iishman.
 At this the Irishman became so vio- lent and abusive that the tourist threatened to take his name and sum- mon him.
 'Do it if you can," said Pat.
 The Englishman took out his note book and walked around the car to look for his name, and found it was scratched out ht
 ttI see your name is obliterated,' ,'' said the tourist.
 "Pwhat?" says Pat. ..>

hands ana assumed an attitude of de- fense. The jaguar no sooner raised his head than she Iunged towards him. Her aim was true and the steel point was sharp. Just as the jaguar was in the act of leaping the lance touched his breast and the brave girl pressed the steel into his heart with all her strength. A
 MT. Rivers clothing was torn to shreds and his arm was seriously man gled, but Miss Ney proved to be an ex- pert at nursing. and before the other hunters arrived at the pass she had succeeded in binding up the wounds of her companion.
 The monster jaguar's hide was strip ped from the carcass, and If the people are guessing right the monarch of the Packsaddle range will some day occu- ,py a conspicuous position in a ranch house where Mrs. Fanny Rivers will preside.

wife was naturally more enthusiastic than was, and at the end of a fortnight she wanted me to admit that the prize had been discovered at last. She said that the girl was tidy, respectful, truth fvl and industrious, and the only thing l, could think of to reply was to hope that she wouldn't turn out to be a thief
 That is shame and slander!' exclaimed my wife. I'll test her to- morrow, and I'll wager any money she'll come out pure gold"
 She tested her by leaving four dia- mond rings on the dresser while she went shopping, and when came home at night my wife was in tears. The girl had taken the rings and sloped. re- marked that the test could have been made just as well with one ring, or even with dollar bill but up to the present time the words have not given her any comfort and we have had on trace oi the girl"

Accounts of early writers show that squirrels must formerly have been amazingly numerous. Golman says that the gray coat was a fearful scourge to the colonial farmers and that Penn sylvania paid as.OO0 In bounties for their scalps in 1749 alone. This meant the destruction of 640,00O within a comparatively small district Tn the early days of western settlement regu- lar hunts were organized by the in- habitants, who would range the woods in two companies from morning till night, wing as to which band should bring home the greatest number Of trophies. The quantities thus killed are almost incredible now.-Boston Budget.

Herkimer county, N. Y, was married the other day to Miss Ruth Bly,, aged 60 years.
 The dead sister was Miss, Amelia Burt, and the three had resided together for years. The neighbors had been wondering what arrangements Capt. Burt would make after the death of his sister They did not, however, expect any definite information until after the funeral, at least.
 Rev. s. Nelson, of North Gage. was engaged to conduct the funeral service When he arrived he was surprised to learn that his services would be re- quired for marriage. Capt. Burt told him that he and Miss By had decided tc be united in matrimony. It took but few moments to tie the knot, and after a brief period, devoted to congratulations, the funeral cere. mony took place.

Quaint Filipino Chart.

Among the exhibits of the post office department at the St. Louis exposition will be a quaint wooden chart formerly used n the post office at Manila during the Spanish occupation. This chart was hung on the walls of the building and the names of those who had let ters or newspapers were written and exposed to the public on slips of paper which fitted into notches upon it's sur face. When Filipino saw his name on the chart he inquired at the window for his letters. If he did not find his name there was no use in bothering the delivery clerk. Similar arrange ments are found In many of the towns and smaller cities in Spain and in some parts of South America N. Y Sun.

Fireman Lost His Life, Being Buried
 by Falling Wall.

by Falling Wall.
 HARTFORD, Conn, July 23 = The Woodland Paper mill, incorporated, sit uated on the trolley lines between Hart ford and Manchester, has been totally destroyed by fire, and the loss is esti- mated by Superintendent J. T. Gamby at about $150,00o.
 One employee, William Haskins,. fireman, lost his life. A portion of a brick wall of the structure fell upon him while he was attempting to draw the fires in. the building. He tried to accomplish his object, knowing that he building was doomed, but thought himself safe from immediate danger. A fellow fireman who was with hin1, after warning him of his danger, fled Just in time to escape a smiilar fate. Haskins was buried beneath the ruins of the wall, and firemen and others worked hard to recover the body, which was done after considerable work. The dead fireman resided in East Hartford and Is survived by wife and five chill aren.
 The fire broke out in the stock room and was well under way before it was discovered owing to the infammable nature of the contents. A line of hose was put into operation, and messages for help were sent up to Burnside. It became evident in the meanwhile that the structure would be doomed unless a fire engine could be got on the scene, and Hartford was communicated with. An engine drawn by six horses was in- stantly dispatched and succeeded in Quenching the flames and saved por- ton of the machinery from destruc- don. The mill is located on the site of the sld Hammer & Forbes Powder mills and has been ap industrial spot for l three-quarters of century

 They had hardly refined their ponies in the narrow mountain pass before the yelping of the dogs on hot trail could be plainly heard.
 "He is coming this way!" exclaimed Miss Fanny, as the monarch of the range sprang into the pass not ten steps away
 Rivers was quick enough with his gun, but his pony reared and wheeled, and his shot went wild He was good horseman, but his attention was dis tracted by the danger of the girl, whose pony was plunging, and as he fired the next shot he felt himself hurled from the saddle, and before he could regain his feet the beast was upon him. His rife had been knocked from his hands and he was struggling to get his pistol or knife, when the jaguar seized his | right arm.
