excitement of the crowd and under the
unusual experience Of being separated
from his master. who generally kept
the animal with him. Bruno was
moved to make his escape. The most
careful search was made, and before
going to his hotel the traveller went to
the police station TO notify the gen
darmes of his loss. 1t was more than
an hour before he reached his hotel.
When he got there he spoke OF his loss,
sothat il anything was heard of the dog
1t would be understood that the animal
belonged to him. To his establishment
the porter said: "But your dog is here,
SIR He came before you, and we did
not know TO whom he belonged" "The
dog is herer' repeated the gentleman

Proper Amount of Feed.

Every man must learn to study the
wants of his poultry to tell just what
quantity of animal food to give, says
an Iowa farmer in American Poultry
Journal. I advise every man to watch
the droppings from his poultry. That
is the thermometer in feeding. Three
and one-half to per cent of fat is
found in the droppings of well fed
fowl. If you find an excess Of fat
your feed is wrong, and you are feed
ing something that is going to waste.
It is a good plan to take up few
droppings occasionally, stir them in an
old tin with hot water, allow 1t to cool,
and you will see the amount of fat they
are passing. No one can tell you the
exact amount to feed One advantage
of feeding grain in the morning is one
loses less fat in droppings. Their mas
ticating organs are more active in the
morning. In feeding mash first meal
you will find often droppings will con-
tain from to s per cent of fat, which
means a great loss of egg or flesh form
ing substance. whichever you are feed
ing for

CARE OF THE TEETH.
Hor to Keep Them Clean and Avoid
Breaking the Enamel.

Keeping the teeth in good condition
is a very simple matter, yet perhaps
more people sin in this particular point
of cleanliness than in any other, says
a writer In Success. | know young
men, and young women, too, who dress
very well and seem to take consider
able pride in their personal appear
ance, yet neglect their teeth They do
not realize that there could hardly be
a worse blot on ones appearance than
dirty or decaying teeth or the absence
of one or two in front. Nothing can be
more offensive in man or woman than
foul bre' 5 and no one can have
decaying Of .4rty teeth without reap
ing this consequence.
How easy it is to preserve them
when they are naturally good! Any
one can do 1t. Brush them after each
meal with brush stiff enough to re-
move all particles Of food, but not SO
stiff as to injure the gums. Warm or
tepid water should be used, with lit
tie powdered orris root, which helps to
keep the breath sweet. Any other good
tooth powder may be substituted or
the occasional use of a little fine salt
will be found beneficial
If fibers Of meat or particles of any
other food that cannot be removed
with a brush lodge between the teeth
they should be removed by a wooden
toothpick. On no account use a pin
or a penknife or your fork. Do not try
to crack nuts or tosbite any hard sub
stance with your teeth. This causes
the enamel or outer protective cover
ing to break, which is the same as il
you We're to break the skin on any
part of your body. When the enamel
is broken the tooth begins to decay,
and severe pain and an unpleasant
breath are the results.
Violent changes of temperature, such
as from ice cream to hot coffee,
also cause the enamel to break. If
in spite of proper care your teeth trou-
Bile you, you should Immediately con-
suit a good dentist Do not go to a
poor one because he happens to be a
little cheaper You will find that a
most pernicious sort of economy. 1t
is a wise thing to have your teeth ex-
amined at least once a year by good
dentist

nine to ten, hens five to seven pounds)
and having rich yellow legs and skin,
plump, neaty bodies and fine, delicious
flesh, skin not coarse and tough and no
excess of bone and gristle. Our fourth
claim is that they are good sitters and
mothers.
Our last claim is their great beauty.
While they are a farmers fowl, bred
by a farmers wife with an eye to the
farmers needs, they are as handsome
as any mere fancier's fowl on the mar
ket today. The males are dark, rich
yelyety red, vigorous and hardy, with
red eyes and ear lobes and yellow legs.
They are a pleasure to look at. The
hens have dark red necks and soft
brown bodies, which make them a fit
ting companion for their beautiful con-
sort.

Cut Green bone For Hens.

We have seen it stated that there
are some people who are OF the opin-
ion that cut green bone is of no adj
vantage to laying hens and even lean
to the belief that the feeding of it is
frequently attended with injury, says
A. v. Meersch In Western Poultry
Journal. You can find people who will
contend that about every article of
food which has ever been recommended
by experienced poultrymen is unfit for
that purpose and Is likely to make
serious trouble If SO used. There are
people In the world who find pleasure
in being contrary, and some Of them
have even gone into the poultry bust
ness. It is to be regretted IL they have
convinced the beginner that cut green
bone cannot be fed to laying hens In
reasonable quantity with entire safety
and satisfaction.

An Odd Court INCIDENT.

Sensational incidents are not uncom-
mon in the closing stages of famous
criminal trials. One of the most re
markable occurred in Melbourne on the
last day of the trial of Ned Kelly,
known as the ''ironelad bushranger Of
Australia" A knife dropped from a
gallery overhead and fell at the feet
of the desperate in the dock. He had
every temptation to grasp 1t and put
an end to his existence, for there was
not the slightest chance of his escap-
ing the gallows. But 1t was promptly
picked up by bailiff, and its owner
was arrested and brought before the
judge. He pleaded that the occurrence
was purely accidental. and the explana-
ton was accepted by the court.

A SPYS CLOSE CALL.
Rescued From impending Death by a
Clever Newspaper Ruse.


On the battlefield of Antietam Mr..
Mcclure met General William J. Palm
er. then a captain, and strongly urged
him not to continue his movements as
a spy after Lee had crossed into Vir-
ginia, but the gallant young soldier
gave no promise as to what he would
be likely to do, and the very first night
after Lee crossed the Potomac he was
again in Lees camp and brought back
important information to General Me-
Clellan
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after week it was assumed
that he had been captured and would
probably be executed as a spy He
had been captured, was tried and con-
demned as a spy and sentenced to be
executed, but he was saved by clever
newspaper device determined upon
after a conference in Philadelphia be-
tween President j. Edgar Thomson Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, Colonel Scott
and Mr.. Mcclure. Thomson took special
interest in Palmer, as he had been his
secretary, and was much attached to
him.
1t was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of
the Philadelphia morning papers an
nouncing the arrival at the capital of
Captain William =. Palmer, stating in
what particular lines of the enemy he
had operated, and adding that he had
brought much important information
that could not be given to the public
at that time. These dispatches APP
peared next morning in all the Phila-
delphia papers, prominently displayed,
and of course reached the southern
lines within forty EIGHT houas
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended In a little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there
was vacancy made in the list of the
exchanged men by death. Palmers
friends had him take the place and
name of the dead soldier, and he thus
escaped and returned to the service
