A Matter of Dressed Poultry.

At the last session of the Massa.
chusetts legislature a bill was intro
duced prohibiting the sale OF dead
poultry from which the head. crop
and entrails had not been removed.
The bill was so vigorously fought by
the sellers of poultry that 1t was
finally killed. 1t had been introduced
in the interest of public health, and 1T
was sustained by a vote of 6 to 5 in
the committee to which it was re-
ferred, which was the health commit
tee. The majority of the committee
declared it their belief hat undrawn
poultry was less healthful than drawn
poultry and that in the main it was
less salable. This latter point is not
to be doubted. Certain it is that more
poultry would be used if it were sold
drawn; for a good many housewives
object very s~trenuously to the drawing
process and more often other meats
are purchased in place of poultry for
this reason. The people that have
hired help in the kitchen are not af.
fected by this consideration, but a
great proportion of the consumer OF
poultry do not belong to this class.
AS to healthflrlness, it is also clear
that the entrails sometimes faint the
meat. At a church fair in Massachu-
sets out of 1870 people that partook
of chicken, 35 were made very sick.
and it was found that this sickness
came from the eating of chicken meat
that had been tainted by the d~ecaying
entrails.
The committee had another charge
against the use of undrawn poultry
which was that one-eighth of the
chicken was waste and that this cost
the consumers from 5000 to $500 a
ton. But this was a reason for the
dealers fighting the bill, and we as.
sumo it was the only real reason. In
some markets the dealers buy their
fowls alive and stuff them with corr
just before being killed. The crop
then contains corn that has cost a
cent a pound and for which the dealer
gets all the way from II to IS cents a
pound. 1t does not count for much
with n bird, but it does count for a
good deal with hundreds of birds. A
dealer that has a good run of trade
a easily clear from 81 to S. a day
in this way, quite a comfortable
rake off" in the course of a year. OF
the turkeys condemned in Boston last
year $4,000 pounds were undrawn.

"Ah, good morning, Mrs. Hamilton.

DANGER OF DUST IN MINES.
Peril is Pointed Out on a Paper by a
Noted Engineer.


At a recent meeting of mining en-
gineers held in Leeds, w. H. Picker
ing, british mining inspector, read a
paper on The Dust Danger" The i'm
pOrtance of dust as a factor in colliery
explosions was, he said, now generally
recognized and understood. ProViS-
ions had been introduced in the coa
mine regulation act regulating the use
of explosives in dry and dusty places
and the Observation-Disclosures" or
der had been issued by the home Sec
rotary.
In a few mines dust was systematic
cally laid by watering, but no wide
spread effort had been made to strike
at the root of the danger. Permitted
explosives were only relatively safe,
for each one of them was capable. of
initiating an explosion under certain
conditions, and it could not be too
often repeated and emphasized that a
lust explosion could be started in
other ways than by an explosive.
Ignition of tire-damp might result from
a naked lamp or from a damaged or
defective lump or from a spark from
a pick or an electric spark, and this
might be magniied by dust into a
great explosion. Dust also increased
the danger of underground fires.
Obviously, the only way Of remedy
ing the danger was to keep the mines
free from coal dust by cutting off the
supply or by other AS long as
dusty roads were allowed in the mines
the coal industry was under the dark
shadow of a coming great disaster.
The looming danger was recognized
by all and he submitted that this Pc
riOd of peace and immunity was the
time to take practical steps to avoid
the danger. He believed a discussion
would show that it was reasonably
practicable to keep moist mines COM
paratively free from dust that was
dangerous and this freedom would
conduce to safety and to health and
comfort as we'll.

A KINGS Unconscious Joke.

Landseer, says a biographer, was
exceedingly fond of telling the follow
ing story Of his meeting with the king
of Portugal, and the latter's unexpect-
ed greeting.
At one Of the court balls Landseer
attended, and when the king Of Portu,
gal. who was also a guest, was made
aware of the presence of the great
animal painter, he expressed his de
sire for an introduction. Landseer
was presented accordingly, when the
king, in his imperfect English, said:
"Oh, Mr.. Landseer, am delighted
to make your acquaintance ara Sc

l have never heard my husband speak
of a green-haired acquaintance"
This statement in regard to the
meeting of her husband and the green
haired lady conceded with the glimpse
she had of it from her tower, though
at that distance she had not noticed
the color of her hair. An accidental
meeting, evidently; but they went on
in the same train together, perhaps in
the same car. If friends, undoubtedly
they rode together. Well, what of
that? Friends meet each other at ev-
cry turn. Her husband might in the
past have done the woman a kindness
or some little service. 1t would be
like him. He would tell her all about
it on his return.
And, with a pleasant adieu to Miss
Chase, Mrs. Hamilton went away.
She called at the Savings Bank in
passing, and Tony Osborn, with his
pen behind his ear, came at once to
speak to her.
Good morning, Tony; very busy,

Awful, now Ham-Mr. Hamilton is

used DIR. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound

Preventing tuberculosis.

tuberculosis may be prevented by
keeping it out of the herd. If it gets in,
it spreads with great rapidity. AS a
result of p~romiscuously adding ami
mails to their herds, several of our
experiment stations have had to
slaughter almost all of their dairy ami
mails. All animals should be purchased
on the %tuberculin test and then should
be retested in three or six months.
Also milk from the creamery should
not be fed the calves unless it has
been heated to a point where all germs
of tuberculosis will be killed.
