MAKING TOO LIGHT OF 1T.
Drug Clerk Who Needed to Learn

ant, in SnNth's Weekly yarn, "that gen.

1t was only little carbolic acid and

the chemist declared. Don't you know
that every prescription must take at least
halt an hour to prepare, or the customer
will think, ho isn't getting anything for
his money?
when a prescription for salt and water
or peppermint and cough sirup is handed
to you, you must look doubtfully, as if it
were very hard to make up. Then you
must bring it to me, and we will both read
it and shake our heads. After that you 20

Now, a. patient appreciates prescrp-

fit from it. But don't you do any more of
that three-minute prescription business,
my boy, if you want to become frst-class

SUMMER GIRLS FAILURE.
Rugged Herself Up to Make Hit,
But Her Finery All
Wilted.

Once upon a time there was a girl
who decided that she would be the
real thing in the summer girl line,
relates a ST. Paul Globe writer. Be-
fore the snow melted she was plan
ming wardrobe that would bring
down any summer youth from a mil.
lionaire prospective to Dry Goods
clerk. She embroidered all her shirt
waists by hand, and made seven sets
of turn-overs before the summer
styles were settled, only to learn that
they were wearing 1880 yokes. She
bought white silk drop skirt for her
null dress. and then her poor old
mother had to go without new sum-
mer hat so that daughter could have
the real thing in a lingerie hat to
go with the silk drcp skirt. Father
was driven to the verge of nervous
prostration by the domestic discussions
of skirt yokes and the best thing in
color combinations, and brother Jimmy
lost his half-holiday chasing down
cerise near-silk when she wanted
cherry lining for her lawn dress.
The clerks at the stores all got to
know her-she had so many goods
exchanged-and when at last she pulled
out for Jersey town with two trunks
and dress suit case her old father
said: This Is Heaven" and her
mother stopped taking nerve cure.
But the girl found she was up
against it after all. Her dresses faded
and dropped in the sea air and SO did
her hair. Sitting up nights sewing
had made her sallow, and she squinted
from doing fine embroidery. The girl
who made hit with the few summer
boys in sight wore the same linen
dress three days running and had only
one party dress to her name. But she
had the real thing in eyes and dim
pies. So the girl who had meant to be
1t said she hated the seashore, and
packed back to town to zee beauty
doctor.
Moral: Fine feathers may make flpe
birds, but all women are not birds.

CLAIMS CREDIT FOR HEIR.
AS Recompense for Her Advice, DR..
Mary Walker, Asks Gear to Stop
War with Japan.

DIR. Mary Walker is claiming credit
for the fact that the czar's new baby
is son instead of a daughter. The
doctor says If she had not volunteered
her advice there would have been ar
other grand duchess in the palace in
stead of czarevitch.
All that DR.. Walker wants of the
car in return for the favor she has
done is that he stop the war with
Japan.
Give Japan the harbor," Dr. Walker
has written from oswego to the czar.
She does not specify which harbor.
but pretty nearly any harbor will do,
she thinks
The following is a copy of an open
letter DR.. Walker has written to the
car:
ITO the Czar OF All Russia-Dear
Sir: In congratulating yourself and
the mother of your son, l most re-
spectfully and earnestly request you
to make peace with Japan.
Give Japan the harbor.
But for my professional advice you
would not now be the father of son
heir. The world will rejoice and say
that you would gladly have done this
one year since as the price of the as
surance of son.
II did not give information that has
resulted so gratifyingly for the pur-
pose of asking reward of any nature
but circumstances are such at the
present time that l expect you 10
grant therein above asked action.

engaged in cleaning operations one
waters and one feeds the birds. Car
bolic acid and coal oil are used for
spraying and these two agencies keep
the birds healthy.
About 500 squads are sold weekly,
the young birds finding ready mar
ket in New York at five dollars doz-
en-. The varieties raised here are
homers, dragons, runts and crosses.
Some OF the runts measure 40 inches
from tip to tip of wings, while there
are many measuring 35 inches.
The farm covers 16 acres and repre-
sents an investment of $685. 900.

yet there is little trouble in keeping the
flocks separate. Each house shelters
60 hens, and l keep ten cockerels with
four flocks. They. have unlimited range.
The eggs hatch better than when a cock
is kept for every IL or Is hens. The
interior of the house is also shown. The
platform is whitewashed and dust or
sand is sprinllled on it. The perches
are or inches in diameter. Between
the floor and dropping platform is an
other platform feet wide on which the
nests are placed.
The nests are sometimes boxes made
of short pieces of board, but usually are
small boxes bought at the grocery for
5 cents each. In the corner opposite the
door is usually barrel of road dust. The
hens use it for dust bath, and use il
for the dropping boards. They also use
1t for a nest box, which disapprove of.
The cost of two houses was as follows:
Lumber. $7.85 (the pine lumber was
secondhand, and got it for half price, ;
nails, 80 cents; glass and putty, SO cents;
hinges and locks, 40 cents; paper, ce-
ment and nails. $7.25; freight on paper
and cement, 81 .25; total of s17.74 for ma
terial; six days labor at 81 per day would
add Sc, making the total cost s23.74, or
not quite $12 for each. Two other houses
made of new lumber and battens instead
of paper, which cost $20.25; oil and paint,
$1.13; IA pounds nails, 56 cents; three
windows, s1.05; wire netting, $1.O5;
hinges, locks and hasps, SO cents; 6
days labor, Sc, making the total cost

FINE FEED FOR THE HENS.
Unthreshed Grain Produces Results
That Will Surprise Those Who
Have Never Fed It.

Save a small amount of unthreshed
grain for the poultry. You will save
the thresher's bill on it, and the poul-
try will even pay you nice profit for
the privilege of working it over for
their own benefit, by an increased sup
ply of eggs, and thriftiness and growth
among the flock. Wheat is best for
this purpose, but rye and oats are also
excellent. If so desired, you can select
some of your poorest grain for this
purpose, as the main object is to fur
nish the poultry with some interesting
employment. Save enough of the un-
threshed grain to furnish one good
sized bundle for every 80 hens in the
flock daily. Whole grain can with ad-
vantage be scattered among the straw.
1t will prevent the greedy ones from
Cutting themselves, while the small
and weak ones have a chance to get
their share of the grain. After the
straw has been thoroughly worked
over and all grain picked out, it should
be all raked up and removed before
bringing in fresh bundle, If possible,
the unthreshed grain should be placed
under a shed or in barn to keep dry.
If unthreshed grain cannot be OBJ
tained, dry fresh straw and chaff will
be good substitute to sprinkle the
grain among, If frequently changed,
but it will not give as good results az
the unthreshed grain, owing to the
amount of healthy exercise which the
unthreshed grain will furnish.-Mid-

New Kind of Rubber.

the interior of Brazil vast forests of
trees from which can be produced a
high grade of rubber known as man
icoba." The area is said to be very
large, but cannot be defined, as the re-
gion has not been fully explored. The
attention called to the first discovery
has led to further exploration, with the
result that from time to time comes
notice of other sections where like
trees occur in profusion. The output of
