GasOline in Poultry Houses

Gasoline is said by the Poultry
Keeper to be better than kero-
sene for destroying lice in the
henhouse, as the insect dies as
soon as it ls touched by the fluid
while when kerosene is used the
lice are able to crawl away some
distance before dying. The gaso
line evaporates very quickly and
leaves everything clean. When
put on the heads of the fowl to
destroy the large gray lice the
effeCt was to render the birds
dizHy for a few moments. but
they quickly recovered and seem
ed not to be Injured by it. APP
piled on the body it causes a sem
sation Of intense cold, owing to
rapid evaporation, and for that
reason 1t Is not advisable TO use
it on the body. 1t should be used
only bv daylight, as it is highly
infama5le, and the vapor from
1t lights quickly. But we have
had good results In using kerose e
found it sure death to lice If not
instantaneous, 50 that we do not
care TO change our method unless
we should chance to have the
gasoline and not have the kero-
sene at hand.

Hitchcock Of the interior depart

1t seems probable now that
that recommendation will be

Gen. Longstreet will be appoint

But every Japanese shot fell short. The result Of that bombardment was not merely local ruin at Mojo, but stretched out to the overthrow of the old Japan ese feudalisin and the inception of a new ideal of an Occidentalized Orient.
 It was. therefore, fitting that this same bay, which had witnessed the humiliation of the old, should be the scene of the crowning triumph of the new. Ten years ago Japan proved, by force of arms, her power to enter the ranks of the world-nations. China lay defeated before her despised rival, and it was to Shimonoseki that Lii Hung Chang's envoy, came craving, and ob- taing peace
 It was the triumph of the new Japan, a triumph which every Japanese be- lieves will be repeated in the near fu- ture over a great rival. The people here have faith that as the triumph of 1894 wiped out the bitter memories of 1858 so shall their coming conquest make even the glories of the last victory fade. For the modern Japanese does not hope for victory; he is firmly convinced, whether coolie or soldier that anything except victory is now impossible for his nation.-London Daily Mail

dom do unless it is fairly calm, have several times seen them at it in a wild gale. and a very uncomfortable occupation 1t appears. Perhaps the ideal day for snipe shooting is one aon which a moderate southwest wind is blowing, the previous. night having been calm and moonlit, or, better still, illumined by bright starlight. Such days after such nights are of course rare; so, consequently, are these ideal times for making a bag. However, in snipe shooting it never does to despair because of apparently unsuitable weather. Any weather may be ideal For all you know: heavy bags have been made on the most discouraging looking days. Another sort of day which have usually found conducive to sport is a sunny, cheerful one, with strongish northwest wind, exactly the opposite, you will observe, of the form CT kind mentioned Scolopax" in Blackwood's.

 ped en bloc the workman giving each
 bundle a twist with his hands so that
 the end of each splint could be free or
 more to certain extent, and absorb a
 little more of the compound than it
 would if kept quite still. The next ad-
 vance was to fix the splints in frame

 about fifteen hundred matches, would
 be brought down on a marble slab up-

 The tipped matches still in their frame
 would then be dried in air for a few hours. and afterward placed in a heat- ed chamber in complete desiccation. Manual labor, as will presently be seen, is now almost wholly dispensed with in the manufacture of matches. The em- ployment of yellow phosphorus for the charging of matches made the industry a very unhealthy one, and the work people, if not in the best of health, ran the risk of contracting a terrible dis ease known as necrosis of the jawbone, the vulgar name for which was "phos- | sy jaw" With improvements in manu- facture, this evil has now been elimated. --Chambers'

It will be not only great in itself; it will dwarf his whole past career will show all his achievements to the eye of history through the wrong end of the telescope. If he succeeds in his present policy he will rank as a great statesman, what ever the good or evil flowing from that policy may be. If he fails in it, men will wonder how he ever came to be regarded as a statesman of the front rank. Of this he appears to have very lively consciousness, and he has spoken os his present policy as taking his political life in his hands. If defeated, that defeat will bring into the scorehing light of an unsparing ridieule every as- pect of his present proceedings, and will subject all his past accomplishments to the action of destructive criticism at the hands of historians Fortnightly.

HINTS TO sNrPE SHOOTERS.

Unlike many birds, the snipe is wild est and most alert when in ouest of food, so that when very dark or tenn pestuous night forces them to put off feeding until daylight you will usually find them almost unapDroachable dur ing the morning hours of the next day. Indeed, if time is no object and the loss of day does not matter it would be far better to leave them undisturbed on such occasions, and to turn home after a sufficient number of snipe have risen at impossible distances to convince you that they have got all their eyes about them primarily for worms, but incident ally for you. Nothing is more likely to make birds permanently suspicious, if not to drive them away altogether,
 By day snipe will feed in the toughest of weather; by night believe they sell
