There was a time when thought

they hold out direct invitation$With

creates the illusion. You are back in

saw at Chicago and at Paris and at Buff

hind the latticed window, is strangely
like the woman who sat next you at a

KEROSENE KILLS POULTRY.

Seventy Nice Young Turkeys

Among other things that attracted
our attention in going about last sea-

struction that kerosene oil will bring
to 1 lot Of young chickens or turkeys
where it Is used as an ointment to
T destroy lice, fleas or bugs. In one

Of young turkeys discovered that some
lice, were bothering them q little, and
at once proceeded to rub them with
lard in which some Kerosene oil had
been mixed. -.
Always prior to this, time this
breeder had been very successful with
the, use of lard alone, but. the addi-
ton of kerosene, having been recon-
mended, It was tried, and over 70
young turkeys. were killed by the ex-
pertinent. Hundreds of young chicks
/ have been killed in the same way, and
yet people will tell you. to use 1t. and
people will use it in spite Of all that
you can tell them. The best and most
innocent remedy to be used In this
wy is to dip your. finger, or q small
stiR brush, into sweet oil and thor
Isoughly anoint the parts where the in
Esect svermin are, and this will kill
them all and in no way injure the
young chick or poultry. !, =. =
T. We presume that every paper in the
country interested in poultry in any

Nothing can be more destructive
than are the insect vermin when once

HERO OF HUDSON TUNNEL.
One Of the Kind Of Men Who Have
Given to America Much Of
Her Honor. .Bs@5%

The Hudson river tunnel was recently
opened with much ceremony and re-
joicing, and fitly 50, for there issrrob
ably in the world no more signal
triumph Of mechanical skill over Appa-
rently uncomfortable obstacles But
the present generation has quite forgot
ten a very different struggle and+victory
which took place: in this same tunnel
writes Rebecca Harding Davis, In Sue
cess. 1 -. sS2at.
In the summer Of 1880, a leak occurred
in the main shaft. Twenty-eight work
men In an instant found themselves fac-
ing certain. horrible death. The river
was bursting in on them. They saw no
escape. But the head Of the gang, Peter
Woodland, a Dane, who was in a smaller
chamber, saw that, If the glass bull's-
eye in its door were broken, the water
would be turned into it and most Of the
men would have time to escape. His
own death would be certain and instant.
He hesitated. He was young and we'll
educated man, and he had wife and
children. @s1
One of the survivors said, afterwards,
IT saw his face as he looked at III
through the glass. 1t was CHASTITY pale.
He gave the order, Break the bulls
eye!' We did it. The majority of the
men were saved. Woodland and four
others were drowned" .GhsZ
We have been chanting, for ages,
paeans to the great heroes in the worlds
mighty .battles-to me who, fred by the
thunders Of cannon and the roll Of mar
tial music and swept forward by an army
Of comrades, have given their lives+fo
some great cause which, was dear to
them. This poor Dane gave his life, in
the darkness, alone, for men poorer
than himself, of whom he knew nothing.
Is he less q hero because he lies dead,
NOT In Rome or at Thermopylae, but be.
low the mud Of the Hudson river? *#s
That kind Of heroism is. let us thank
God, common in America. Jim Bludsoe

lives to rescue women and children
whom they never saw before, or railway

they never see. The courage that counts

Proved by Experiment.

Some experiments recently made ID
Belgium tend to. throw doubt on the
truth of the assumption that insects are
guided to flowers BY the brightness u
their colors. Brilliantly colored dahlfas
were covered so as to show only tho
centers, and butterflies and bees sought
these flowers with the same eagerneas
and frequency as those which were fully
exposed. The conclusion reached that
the insects were guided by the sense Of
smell rather than by their sight seems
conclusive.

You Should Never Eat Simply For
the Sake of Eating.
A prolific cause of chronic indigestion
is eating from habit and simply be-
cause it is mealtime and others are
eating. To eat when not hungry is to
eat without relish, and food taken
without relish is worse than wasted.
Without relish the salivary glands do
not act, the gastric fluids are not freely
secreted, and the best of foods will not
be digested. Many perfectly harmless
dishes are severely condemned for no
other reason than they were eaten per
functorily and without relish and due
insalivation
Hunger makes the plainest foods en-
joyable. 1t causes vigorous secretion
and outpouring of all the digestive flu
ids, the sources of ptyalin, pepsin,
trypsin, etc, without plentiful supply
of which no foods can be perfectly d.
gested.
Wait for an appetite, II 1t takes a
week. Fasting is one Of the saving
graces. 1t has spiritual significance
only through its great physical and
physiologic Importance. II breakfast
is bore or lunch a matter of indiffer-
ence, cut one or both of them out.
Wait for distance and unmistakable
hunger and then eat slowly. If you
do this you need ask few questions as
to the propriety and digestibility of
what you eat, and it need not be pre-
