Disastrous Wrecks.

Carelssness is responsible for many a
railway wreck and the same causes are
making human wrecks of sufferers from
tt.roa, and lung troubles. But since the
advent of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds, even the
worst :ses can be cured and hopeless
resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs.
Lois Crgg Of Dorchester Mass is one of
many whose life was saved by DR. Kings
New Discovery. Thus great remedy is
guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases

Poultry Notes.

If you raise chickens, now is the
time to get your flock in shape. Gull
out all unhealthy or diseased fowls,
and you will get larger per cent of
fertile eggs, aud chicks VIII be
stronger.
Remember, The early Matched
chicks arc the ones that pay, so
have ii few early broOds Matched. If
hens won't get broody, try feeding
plenty of shelled corn for the next
two weeks.
If the nests of your setting hens
are infested with lice, spray them
well with kerosene oil. It's true, it
kills the chickens, but it kills the
lice too, and that's what you are
after.
If You are undecided what kind of
chickens TO raise, just try tho White
Wyandottes, and next Christmas,
when you have plenty of eggs, when
they are worth 50c per dozen, just
see if You don't pat yourself on the
back and think what a sharp fel
low you are.
If you keep only one dozen chick
ems, have twelve of them thorough
breds.
Even if the old hen can't fly so
high but what she can fly down
agnln, 1t isn't a good idea to have
the roosts very high. Try frame
roosts or 3 feet high. Put legs on
one side, and hinge the other to the
side Of the house. Then when you
go to clean up, you can hook the
roostS up against the wall where
they will be out OF the way.

Fifteen hundred animals are required to

not less than 100000 apiece, and hardly
an attraction less than $50 1000.

transmitted by cable throughout the
grounds to the electric railways, the
machinery in operation In the exposl-
ton buildings, the pumps supplying
water to the cascades and fountains,
the refrigerating plant and Tor other
purposes. The total horsepower used
at Chicago did not exceed $4,000 and at
the Pan-American not over 5000, in
comparison with the 10000 to $4,000
here.
Electricity had only five and one
half acres at Chicago, while at ST. Louis
nine acres are given to the same de-
partment, besides a large display OF
electrical generators in the Palace OF
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
ing the worlds fair because OF the fear
that living expenses in st. Louis are too
high. If anyone has this notion it is
high time that it be dispelled. There is
absolutely no doubt of the fact that one
can find excellent living accommoda-

ceeding the charges this same month in
New York, Chicago or any other great
American city.

which they catch their first view of this
grand picture.
1T almost takes my breath away
exclaimed one woman near whom l was
standing as she caught her first glimpse
of the beauty of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition
palaces. Such is the general verdict.
For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
St Louis has beat the world
There is another feature, or rather
collection of features, which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is THE Pike The
fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public with a side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as a monument to the world S
progress, but realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work to provide the biggest and best in
this line that has ever been known. That
they have succeeded in this is evident
to every visitor who travels The Pike.
Nor is this great amusement feature
lacking in educational interest Here
one may study the architectural fancies
of the world; here he may study the
| nations of the world, their methods OF
life, their surroundings, their customs
