II WAS some time after The hour OF
meeting before a quorum was assembled:
The Chair stated that he had called
the board together TO complete some
business begun at the last meeting rela-
tive to the opening of the bids for the
right of way over the west end OF Gam
eron street, &c. He had since been
convinced, he said, from an examination
of the code, that bids could be opened
by the President of the lower board
while that board was in session, but AS
it was customary to open bids during a
Joint meeting he would continue that
course.
While awaiting the coming of the
Aldermen,
Mr.. Chas. Goodrich, measurer OF wood
an bark, sent 10 his resignation on &C.
count of i'll health, and asked that Mr.
Carter Ii. Smith be chosen to succeed
him.
The Board of Aldermen entered the
chamber of the Council and when the
members had taken seats the President
of Council explained that the Aldermen
has been invited to take part In the
opening of the bids through couriesy. de
called attention to the fact that joint
session was not necessary, as the code
provides that such bids should be opened
by the lower board and then cOmmuni'
Gated to the board of Aldermen.
The bid WAS then read and may be
summarized as follows:
The Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway Company Offers

Cameron street, 800 cash and $50 dur
ing each year of the life Of the franchise
aud agrees TO open and grade that por'
ton Of The street and to maintain
single car between The ferry wharf and
Spring Park during certain hours
Should il be found that the car does moi
pay expenses, the company reserves the
right TO withdraw it alter three months
notice and in lieu of this service will pay
the city $50 a year additional.
1t was then novel 10 go into an cleo
lion tor neasurer of wood and barb
and also for Police Commissioner from
the Third ward to fill the vacancy caused
by the expiration Of the term Of Mr.
Oehlsrt
Mr.. Balenger opposed going into
the election of Police Commissioner
s,ying that many members we're absen
and that Others did not bnow that th'
election was contemplated al this time

striking out Police Commissioners. Hi
motion WAS lost and Mr.. August Oshleri
of the Third ward, was elected Police
Commissioner to succeed himself, b. {
! unanimous vote.
Mr.. Carter II. Smith was unanimone
ly elected measurer Of wood and bark

laws.

MARKETING and PROFITS.

The largest profits must come
from superior marketing and
from special market advantages
in selling eggs and stock. A
difference of only a few cents a
dozen makes a large increase in
the income when several hun
dred fowls are kept. For exam
pie, the average highest market
price per year for eggs in New
York City is about twenty-one
cents per dozen.
A certain poultryman who has
1000 hens sold his eggs last
year for an average of seven cents
a dozen above the highest mar
ket. Assuming that he sold from
each fowl ten dozen eggs per
year, which is a fair but not a
high average, we find that at
seven cents per dozen he receiv-
ed seventy cents per hen over
and above what he would have
received if he had sold the eggs
at the highest wholesale quota
ton. Therefore from his 1000
hens he received the very COM
Portable sum of $500. This was
all clear profit, due entirely to
good business methods, neat
crates, careful grading of eggs,
cleanliness, quality of products
and regularity Of shipments
throughout the year. james E.

SORE SHOULDERS.

1t is cruel to work a horse that
has a sore shoulder. Yet we see
many a horse pulling against a
raw shoulder.
Too little..attention is paid to
the fit of the collar. The hired
men often sling on any collar
that is handy whether it was
bought for that particular horse
or not.
The collar should fit-be Just
right in length and shape. If
worn by the same horse all the
time it will shape itself to the
neck. But nothing can over
come a. wrong size. It must be
snug, but not tight, free, but
not too loose. The names must
be adjustedl right. If the top
strap iss..too tight the neck is
pinched, and the tugs raised too
high. If the top strap is too
long the Tightening of the hame
strap below causes a bad fit and
may throw the pulling joint of
tugs too low. down.
Horses'l necks differ in shape
and it1is..wrong to make them
wear a collar that was fitted to
anotherahorse. You would have
CALLED feet if you wore other
than your own shoes. Much
worse for the horse that pulls a
load with a misfit collar.
Considerable cleanliness of the
collar and the shoulders. A

DIFFERENTLY EXPRESSED.

Two groups of people were
seated in the waiting-room of a
railroad station. One consisted of
a young man and two young
ladies dressed in the height of
fashion, the other, a man and his
wife not so fashionably attired.
They had been there only a
few minutes when a girl came in
whose complexion was as nearly
perfect as anything in this world
ever is.
While she was buying her
ticket the young man remarked
to the ladies with him:
Isn't Miss Cransford a beau
ty? her complexion is as perfect
as a rose.
At the same time the other
man clutched his wife's arm and
whispered:

got purity hide. ''-Lippincott' s

TO KEEP OFF HAWKS.

A Massachusetts correspondent
of the Rural New Yorker gives
the following advice on how to
keep hawks away from chicken
yards:
In the first place, my chicken
yard is fenced with poultry net

mesh at top. Lenghwise of the
field | run wires, telegraph wire
or wire half as large, on high
posts ten feet above the ground
and about thirty feet apart.
Across these wires stretch COM

QUESTION ANSWERED.

The question was asked in the
columns of your paper how many
times the word children was
used in the Bible.
Several things conspired to
cause a delay in answering said
question. Lest / might seem to
pose as an adept or expert in
Bible matters, l say stand for
correction.
find the compound word men,
children, appears twice, and
women-child, once. It seems
that the book of Numbers leads
in the number of the word chill
dren, while several of the books
of the Bible did not mention the
word referred to. Nahum it
seems just did save his skirts. as
he only gave utterance to said
word once. l find that in one
verse the word children appears
eight times.
You will bear in mind that the
word children is in some Bibles
a great many more times than in
others. l find the word children
used in the Bible 1905 times. If
you will indulge me, l would like
to ask the ''Up-to-date Bible stu
dent" a question of some i'm
portance. It seems that Paul
had a scrap" with some of his
followers because they claimed
that the resurrection had been
already, and in consequence
thereof he turned them over to
Satan to receive their reward.
Their is nothing palmer to me in
the Bible, than that there has
been two resurrections. How
does this harmonic with the
gentleman above referred to? I
further claim that the Bible tells
plainly of people being created
reformed or built, and that he
was not comprehended when
God looked up and saw that the
heaven and earth and the host
therein were complete. Itmight
have been.a thousand years af-
ter said completion before Adam
was formed. Where is the word
"wench" in the Bible? For fear
my letter will meet that conven-
lent receptacle waste basket, I
will close. Yours sincerely.

POULTRY LICE.

Fowls are hard to protect from
lice largely on account of the
number of fowls that must be
kept by any one man who ex-
poets to make much money out
of them. If a 1000 pound steer
or horse has lice, the treatment
) of that animal for the parasites
is not a great task; but it is far
different if 1000 pounds of chick
ems have to be treated. That
might mean as many as 200 fowls
to be washed, dipped or other
wise handled and cared for.
There are several ways OF kill
ing lice, but the most thorough
way is to wash the fowl with
soap and water. A poultry ex-
hibitor said to the writer: IF
the man that has lousy hens will
wash them as the Snowman does
his birds he will have no trouble
with lice, provided he does not
again permit them to come in
contact with other birds that are
lousy" His method of washing
was to make a strong lather OF
soap and water and scrub the
birds thoroughly. The lather
was worked into the feathers and
under all of them and was again
and again washed off. This kind
of treatment gets rid of the lice
and leaves the birds absolutely
clean.
The next best thing in the
opinion of the Farmers Review
is perhaps grease put under the
wings under the tail feathers
and on top of the head. Sooner
or later the lice on the hen will
take refuge in the places men
toned and will become covered
with grease, which will in turn
cause the stoppage of the breath
ing pores of the insects and hence
stangulation. This is the cur
rent opinion, but whether all the
lice do thus commit suicide is a
question that is hard to settle.
Certain it is that the application
of grease does greatly reduce the
number of lice infesting the
fowls. Rural World.
