AN OLD TIME RURAL DOCTOR.

A party of men were discussing
the passing of the old time country
doctor before the advance of modern
science, and one of them told some
stories of a practitioner of this type
who was the terror of his boyhood
days.
s'He was a curious old autocrat,
with curative methods all his own,"
said the gentleman. II remember
once boy chum of mine became af-
ficted with a large swelling or abb
scess in his throat, which was grow
ing rapidly and threatening to make
breathing impossible.
"Dr. x was called in. After
examining the patient, he turned to
the mother with the command to
bring him a red hot poker. AS he
was never questioned or disobeyed,
the woman hastened to heat one in
the kitchen fire.
"When she brought it to the sick
room the doctor grabbed it and ad-
vanced to the beside with the gleam-
ing point 1evelled at the boys head.
"Open your mouth, sir, he COM
manded.
"The boy did open his mouth to
emit terrified shriek-which broke
the abscess and saved his life.
"I have said that DR.. x was
never disobeyed, but I recollect now
one occasion on which a family at
tempted to set his orders at defiance.
You see, he was really more intelli-
gent than the run of way out coun-
try doctors of those days. He went
to Holland for year of study when
he was young, and brought back
some advanced ideas, one of which
was the efficacy of fresh air.
tYou know how country people
close the windows of sick room
tight. On the occasion in question
the patient was down with fever.
Entering the room, DIR. X raised
both windows ordering that they be
left so.
"The women who were nursing
made no objection at the time, but
no sooner had the doctor departed
than they hastened to close the win
dows. Some distan ce away Dirk
happened to look around and beheld
what they had done.
"He turned his horse, drove back
to the house, entered the front door,
neither knocking nor ringing, mount
ed the stairs, walked into the sick
room, lifted the thick-knobbed cane
which he always carried, and delib
erately smashed one pane of glas:
after another, until all were demol'
ished. Then, without word, or SC
much as a look to right or left, he
drove away.
"The patient recovered. "-Mea

DUDES OF OTHER TIMES.

A cure for the confirmed rai1er
against modern dress might be
course of inspection through file of
old fashioned magazines or the Pc
rusal Of such accounts as are given
by the author of "Sketches of
Lynn" The description is that Of
a suit worn in the first part of the
nineteenth century.
The boots were an important arti-
Gle of dress. The toes were made as
broad as the bail of the foot, with the
corners well rounded, giving the
shoe the resemblance to the snout of
a shovel nosed shark. They were
very snug and required strong straps.
In order to get into fashionable
pair the heel of the stocking was we'll
soaped and some pulverized soap
sprinkled into the boot. The length
of time it took to get one on depend
ed on the strength of the owner and
the strap.
The stylish overcoat displayed five
CdpSS, OuC dDOVC tue OIuCAS AS
trousers were expected to fit as tight
as the skin. Just how they were
put on is mystery. The coat was
especially snug under the sleeves,
and the velvet collar scraped up the
back of the head. The camlet over
coats after a little wear, became as
| cliff as hi-ch hark
The thing worn about the neck
was called stock. This name was
appropriate in its suggestion of an
instrument of punishment. The
stock was from three to six inches
high, and was made stiff. A man
was forced to look straight ahead.
Only by careful management could
he see little on either side. About
halfway between his eyes and ears
two little points of collar stuck uE
like toothpicks.
Ruf1ed bosoms and wristband:
finished the costume, with the addi'
ton OF tall silk hat. When inclos
ed in this manner, with dash o.
altar of roses on his handkerchief
the man of the period was considered
irresistible.

SONG FOR THE UNSUCCESSFUL.
He worked and he hustled from morning til
night,

He worked and he hustled from morning till
night,
But somehow he couldn't succeed;
He used his best efforts, he tried with his might
But somehow he couldn't succeed.
He bore up with fortitude under the strain,
whenever he failed he tried over again;
His character stood without ever q stain
But somehow he couldn't succeed.
He bent to his task in the world with will,
But somehow he couldn't succeed,
The sweets that we covet to him were Dut NIL,
But somehow be couldn't succeed.
He plodded along in the very same way
Day in and day out, with but little to say;
He bent to his labors, gave little to play
But somehow he couldn't succeed.
He answered gibe or Jest with smile,
But somehow he couldn't succeed;
His heart always generous, though heavy the
while,
But somehow he couldn't succeed.
whenever thorn pierced his flesh on the road
He shut his teeth tight and shifted his load:
He plucked not nor reaped from the seeds that
he sowed-
And somehow he couldn't succeed.
He was one, only one, from the millions hurled
Who somehow could never succeed;
He travelled his way through cold. dreary
world.
And never, could never succeed.
But he used his best efforts in playing his part.
The burden he carried oft made the tears start
And yet through it all song welled from his
heart;
This man who could never succeed.

Poultry raising on large scale is
a most interesting industry, for there
is as much difference between the
man who raises his chickens by the
thousands and the man or woman
who keeps a dozen or so hens, as
there is between the man with one
or two cows and the man with an
extensive range covered with cattle.
The big poultry raiser buys his feed
at wholesale. 1t takes ton OF mid
dlings and ton of wheat each month
to feed 900 chickens up to profit
able laying point. When man has
a. thousand or more chickens he pur-
chases the feed for his flock by the
carload, and he sells the stray feath-
ers, the egg shells, the guano and all
the odds and ends about the place
which ordinarily go into the dump.
The egg shells alone are worth $I.6o
a bushel. When the hundreds of
incubators on the poultry ranches
near and in Petaluma give out their
little chicks there's an immense lot
of shells to dispose of, and these are
now part of the profit of the poultry
raiser.
Some idea of the amount of the
business at Petaluma may be had
when it is known that there are nine
establishments which make bust
ness of packing eggs and chilled
dressed poultry so that it may be
shipped a long distance.
It must not be supposed that be-
cause Petaluma is the greatest chick
en- town in the world it is the only
place in California where the busi-
ness of raising chickens can be car
ried on successfully. Many other
parts of the state are equally well
favored, so far as climate and loca-
ton are concerned, and in many
other parts of the State large poultry
industries are carried on. This is
especially noticeable in San Benito
county, in the lower valley in Alme'
da county, and in Los Angeles coun-
ty. Napa county also is noted for
its fine chickens. In fact, in most
parts of the State the industry can
be carried on with success. --NeWGrk

A w1FE's POWER.

A good wife is to man wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair.
No condition is hopeless to a man
where the wife possesses frmness,
decision and economy. There is no
outward propriety, which can coun-
teract Incidence, extravaganza, and
folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is
strong; but his heart is not ada
mant. He needs a tranquil mind ;
and especially if he is an intelligent
man with whole head, he needs its
moral force in the conflict of life.
To recover his composure, home
must be a place of peace and comfort.
There his heart renews its strength,
and opens forth with renewed vigor
to encounter the labor and troubles
of life. But if at home he finds only
iealously, and gloom, is assailed with
complaints aud censure, hope vanish
es. and he sinks into despair.

NO REST FOR JOHN.

A FARM hand was working in a
field by the roadside one cold day
when a clergyman came along the
road and stopped to speak to him.
"Plenty of work for you this
weather, John?" he called out.
"Ah !" said John, 81 don't know
when / don't have to work, no mat
ter what weather comes"
"That's hard, John" said the
clergyman; "but wait till you get to
the place of rest, then you will have
no work to do"
"Humph p grumbled John, "you
needn't tell me They'll find job
for John, never fear! 1t will be:
