Marketing Inferior Poultry.

We cannot dwell too long upon nor
press too hard the practice which is
not losing ground fast enough of
marketing inferior poultry. Those
who practice marketing anything
they can catch when marketing
poultry would not think of pursuing
the same methods when marketing
hogs or other live stock. If poul
trymen could get a glimpse of some
Of the large establishments and see
how they put up fowls they buy and
feed them SO as to get them in con-
dition for killing they would be
convinced that it is a very bad rrac-
tice to sell poultry that has not been
fitted. We know of no way to get
so much fora little feed wisely fed
to poultry as to putup the poultry
to be fed and feed them in scienti-
fic manner.
1t was our privilege to go through
one of the large killeries lately.
Long rows of coops in tiers one
above another We're arranged in a
warm, well ventilated apartment.
Attendants kept them scrupulously
cleap and the chickens were fe2
about all they would Consume and
we're put two OF three in an apart
ment. Itis intended that they get
no exercise, SO they will put on Fat
readily and in ten to fifteen days
they are ready for killing. 1t is not
the increased weight that is SO de-
sirable, which is satisfactory, but it
is the improved condition and flavor
of the meat, hence they sell better.
Most of the fowls bought by this
firm have to be shed.-Home-
stead.

The Wisdom of Fools.

Folly, in the abstract, has been de-
nounced alike by Scripture and ancient
heather sages. "If wish to look ut a
fool" says Seneca, 81 have not far to
look. have only to look in mirror"
The Emperor Macmillan distinguished
the dullest of his counselors by the title
of the king of fools. Once when he ad-
dressed n prosy adviser by this title the
gentleman neatly enough replied: 81
wish with all my heart l We're king Of
fools. should have a glorious king
dom and your imperial majesty would
be among my subjects"

King Edward has proven hi

KING Edward has proven him
self king. He has spoken of the
British army as my army" Only
a king would have the courage to
admit the British army was his"
Des Moines Daily News: 1t is all
very we'll to jest about the British
army but in sober truth no soldiers
in modern times have proved more
effective than British soldiers.
Whether under the torrid suns of
the tropics, or amid polar SHOWS,
they have demonstrated their pro-
wess and given good account of
themselves.

Fiji HairIressins.

No one has visited Fiji in the past
without being astonished ut the fear
full and wonderful styles of hairdress-
ing. They are geometrical, monument
tai, pyramidal and trapezoidal. An ad-
ditional factor in this production Of
the grotesque is that the hair varies in
color as lime varies in bleaching power
or as the juice of the mangrove in col
oring matter Between black and white
the colors run through the blue black
and all the shades of red and yellow.
Often half the hair is red and the other
half white, giving kind of piebald ef-
feet.

Asbury Park has just discovered q

and during the next twenty years will
derive o yearly income of over $12, 900
from it. A lease has been granted to
jesse W. Starr, of Camden to tuild a
steel amusement pier at the foot of
Eighth avenue. The pier is to extend
800 feet out into the ocean, and Mr..
Starr is to pay for the privilege a
yearly rental of So, 600 for the four
years after January lst, 1906; $40, 0C0
u year for the next five years; $l5, 600
q year for the succeeding, and $l7, 600

a $50, 000 bond as n guarantee that he
will carry ont his agreement. -Tren-

We are glad to see the admission by

AREONTHEWARPATH
Pulajanes, In Samar, Killed
Corbin's Scouts.
FOUR HUNDRED ATTACKED TWENTY
Town of Dolores Threatened by
Thousands of Filipino Rebels-All
East Coast stations Are Heav-
lily Re-enfOrced.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2I.-Secretary
of Wal Taft has received a cable ines
sage from Governor Wright at Manila
in response to his inquiry in regard to
recent uprisings of the Pulajanes at Do
lores. Samar. Governor Wright's mes
sage is as follows:
with reference to your telegram l
regret to say that General Corbin's re-
port of attack on and loss of detach-
ments of scouts at Oras and Dolores
is correct. Pulajanes have of late left
the west and north sides of Samar and
become active on the east coast, which
is practically without a harbor and
very difficult of access during the prev
alence of the existing monsoon.
"Orders were given some time since
to strengthen all detachments on the
east coast, but unfortunately this was
delayed by the wreck and loss of a
coast guard boat carrying a hundred or
more of the constabulary.
The men were saved, but the delay
in sending another coast guard boat to
the rescue resulted in leaving these
small detachments at Oras and Dolores
isolated and the consequent loss.
"4All the east coast stations have been
heavily REINFORCED, and we are still
sending men in by my direction. Gen
eral Allen, chief of constabulary, left
Manila two weeks since to take person
al charge of affairs in Samar.,
Il am still further reinforcing him
with constabulary and am consulting
with General Corbin. who if necessary
will aid us with troops
General Corbin's report Of the up
rising is as follows:
THE Pulajanes are OH the warpath
in Samar in considerable numbers, as
may be Judged from the following:
about 400 Pulajanes and several
hundred volunteers joined in an attack
on Il detachment of twenty Philippine
scouts at Oras. Samar. Killed, one hos
pital corps man; wounded, twelve Phil
ippine scouts; missing, five, said to
have been bolocd while in the river. All
badly mutilated.
Second Lieutenant Stephen X. Hayt
and thirty-seven enlisted men, Thirty
eighth company, Philippine scouts, kill
ed by Pulajanes at Dolores, Samaii.
First Lieutenant George A. Abbott re-
quests help from military authorities.
Town threatened by thousands of Pu-
lajanes."
