POULTRY POINTERS.

Large ROSTERS with small hens Is a
very poor combination.
Scalded milk and cooked rice will
often stop diarrhea In fowls.
Indigestion, one Of the worst diseases
among poultry. is often caused by sour.
moldy food.
Eggs intended TO be Matched In an In
cubator should never be allowed to be-
come chilled.
In order to have poultry tender and
juicy they must be fattened quickly.
Two weeks Of good feeding are usually
sufficient.
Use plenty of lime In the poultry
house. 1t will kill lice, Is good dis
infectant, will purify the air, 1t de-
stroys vermln and prevents gapes.
One of the best ways of feeding oats
to poultry Is to put them In tub at
night, pour scaldlng water over them,
let them stand until morning and feed
them warm.
When the fowls are closely confined
or when the ground Is covered with
snow, they must have bulky food. Cut
clover hay well steamed is good, as
are also cabbage leaves.

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In Murder Trials.

The important part played in many
murder trials by n ilattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once In the
form of bullet, often leads to the de-
velopment of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A lcaden bul-
let will lose ipprcciably In weight by
being fired. and the form Of the barrel
may tend to reduce its size In n rifle
some of the lead is taken Off by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends TO partially melt the outside of
its shape In the air
One peculiar fact about bullet Is
that IL will very often make wound of
entry smaller than the projectlle itself
even in so brittle substance as glass.
Another strange fact about bullet Is
that 1t will often pass through inter-
vening clothing. making n hole that can
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on Its
point circular piece of cloth. The car
rying of bits of clothing, hair or dirt In
to wounds In such manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitls
Were It not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly so danger
Gus, as its rapid fight and heating
make II practically sterile.
Blackened edges Of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by a lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result. Regard
ing powder stains, smokeless or other
wise, nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs Mt a
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At n recent trial doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fired
at distance of not more than three
feet, which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the stand
by the prisoner himself.

The Crow That wears n Foor. Cap.

The following clever way of keeping
crows away from grninfield Is used
by the farmer of Holland:
He makes some small caps OF stout
paper and smears around the inner side
Of the mouth Of each some bird lime or
other sticky stun. In these he puts
some grains of corn and stands them
about his fields by pressing their points
into soft earth.
When the crow finds one OF these
paper caps, he thinks himself In great
luck until he attempts TO peck Mt the
tempting grain, when, to his nstonish-
ment, he finds the cap attached to his
head-a regular fools cap-which will
not even allow him to see what course
to take II he flies up.
However, he succeeds I'm reaching

FIRST VIEW or WHITE MEN
The rifle and Burnips Glass Fright
encd the Indians.

II is small wonder that the first view
of white man created terror among
the superstitious Indians A striking
instance of this occurred when the
Wallawalla Indians first saw Captain
Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
tion. Thinking to propitinte the saw
ages and allay their fears OF the white
men, he planned to visit n village of
the wnllawallns before the arrival OF
the rest of his party.
With this end In view, he set out to
cross the Columbia river In canoe,
tnking three men with him. On the
way he shot n crane and n duck, both
OF which fell near him. He landed be-
fore FIVE wlgwams placed close to each
nnd the doors, which were of mat
were closed. Holding his pipe In hand,
as an indication OF good will, he push
ed aside one of the doors and entered
the lodge.
Inside were thirty men, women and
children huddled together In terror.
He went to them, shook each by the
nunU anu Sulu SOInt IrlcTuly WofuS,
expressing by word and manner his
kindly feeling. Their apprehenslons
were nllayed until he took out his
burning glass and lighted his pipe by
the rays Of the sun. Consideration
again prevailed, and what might have
occurred but for the timely arrival of
two chiefs who knew the white men
cannot be told.
II seems that the Indians had not
seen Captain Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot
fall just before his appearance. They
had also seen the duck fall at his shot.
They connected the fall of the birds
with his advent and thought he had
fallen from the clouds.
The sound of the rifle, which they
had never before heard they believed
was n signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought down
fire from heaven by means of his burn
Ing glass.-Youth's Companion.

FIRST OF ALL EvlCTloNs.
Magyar version of the Expuisiou
From the Garden of Eden.

Among the folklore of the peasantry
Of Roumanla and some of the adJoin-
Ing Magyar states OF eastern Europe
is found the story of the expulsion OF
our first parents from the garden OF
Eden. II runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God sent
Gabriel the Magyar angel, to turn
them out of Eden us punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was received most
courteously, food and drink OF the
best being set before him. Now, Ga
brlcl had n kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not ac-
cept their hospitality, remembering his
errand. SO he returned and begged
that some one else be sent to evict the
sinners, as he really could not do IL.
The Raphael, the Roumanian angel.
was sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. He, however. was very fond
of good dinner, and SO he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself The
feast over, he told the erring pair his
epand. They Mt once began to weep
most pltcously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow so touched his aft
or dinner heart that he, too returned
and asked that some one else be sent,
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital
ity. Then It was that Michael, the
German angel, was sent, He was re-
celved as the others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu-
ously. lie sat down and enjoyed him
self till the last morscl of food had
vanished and, there wasn't drop Of
liquor left. Then lie arose, and, turn
ing to his host and hostess, said. Now,
then, out you go, and be quick about
It." Most plteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time. even reminding
him that he had partnken of their
bread All In vain Thus II was that
our first parents were driven out OF
Eden.
