Within one week the most casual

doubtless have developed as many
IN a day. And this is merely taking
into account the fatal tragedies
the murders and suicides. If one
considered the lesser ones, the at
tempted murders and suicides, the
homes wrecked by opponents, the
deserted husbands and wives and
children, the trusts betrayed, tho
honor forgotten, the many sins
committed in the name Of love, one
would more than ever realize that
love is indeed a madness, and that
Rosalind was an astute young per

It Is, moreover, a madness that
spares neither age nor sex. It de-
stroys itself quite as frequently as
its object, and not infrequentIy is

Lean Meat for Hens.

The best food for moulting hens
is lean meat. To have hens lay in
winter the early moulting hens must
be fed on food that will assist to re-
new the feathers. Fat foods are not
desirable. as no heating elements are
necessary in summer. Foods rich in
nitrogen and the phosphates are in de-
mand by moulting hens, and of the
grain foods bran is the best, says the
Miner and Farmer. The bran should
be scalded and to a pint of bran
should be added half pint OF corn
meal and gill of linseed meal
mixed to a stiff dough with milk.
Such a mixture, with a little lean
meat occasionally and an allowance OF
green food. should enable the hens to
noult quickly and easily, and without
becoming debilitated at any time dur
ing the process of moulting. Twice a
