Uncle BY In New York City.

Uncle BY In New York City.
AS l may have told you, was born
In the country, but when young man
made a trip to New York city. On
the train, en- route, an old maid from
Kalamazoo, Mich, swallowed a fly.
The fly tickled like sixty, and the shy
old maid got real dcvilish. Every
time the fly felt of her bellduvia
with his feet, or blundered head first,
as a fly always does, against her
epiglottis, she Uttered like a steam
calliope irritated by an irresponsible
negro gentleman. AS the fly playful
ly titillated her interior mechanism,
she began with low, musical gurgle
that made you think of spring water
chasing skating-bug over the riff
lies, gradually increasing with cres-
cendo that suggested a flock of pea
cocks against the world. Her face
grew lividly purple, the rooster feath
er on her hat got a fearful attack OF
st. Vitus dance, and for a time it
looked as though that maiden was CO.

Just at the vital moment, the con-

The Saddle.

The heavy man should be most par
ticular about his saddle and that it
shall be not only broad seated, but long
in the tree, that his weight may be dis
tributed over as large surface on the
horses back as possible and should ex-
ercise great care that not only is it well
stuffed, especially about the withers,
but that the stufing Is constantly
worked light and kept from caking or
becoming lunpy anywhere. Neglect Of
these precautions will Inevitably lead
to chatting and bruising of the back or
painful pinching and bruising of the
withers, this latter injury leading
very possibly to further complications
in the way Of fistula. ETC., which may
result in permanent and very severe
complication The individual Of light
er weight Is more fortunate in these re-
spects, as he is not SO likely to injure
his mount severely by the mere amount
of weight he represents, but even he
must be duly careful not only upon the
grounds Of self interest, but upon those
Of ordinary humanity.-F. NJ. Ware in

BRooDER CHICKS.
Mesheds Employed by a Capable Poui.
try Norman In Raising Them.

Mrs. C. 5. Walker of Brownsburg,
Ind. thus explains her method of rails
ing brooder chicks for the benefit of
fhe readers of American Poultry Jour
nal: The first thing after the chicks
are out of the shell and dry we take
them TO the breeder, being sure the
heat is not less than 95 degrees. We
never feed until the chick is about
forty-eight hours old; then we give dry
breadcrumbs mixed with hard boiled
egg. and a little bit of black pepper
also. dry the eggshen ana pulverize
this ard mix in feed. which l find the
chicks are very fond of. This we feed
for two OF three days. with plenty of
water or milk. The chicks should be
fed only as much as they can eat clean,
allowing no food to be left over, as it
is better to feed three or four times
day. We cover the floor of the brooder
with paper, as this can easily be re-
moved with all filth and burned. this
being done every day. After the chicks
are week old we make corn bread, as
for table use, using pepper and egg
shell for grit. This may be given three
hungry with a little fresh meat
ground fine. We always keep small
pan of grit in brooder so chicks can
go to this at will. Now. to the brooder
we attach a box for run, the box
being four feet long and one and half
feet wide. In this we have plenty Of
alfalfa litter on floor. with small grain,
such as Kaffir corn. cracked corn or
wheat thrown in, so this will give the
little chicks. plenty of exercise. When
they are week old we. raise the small
door of brooder and let them into this
run. which you will find they greatly
enjoy. At three weeks we begin to
give potatoes, cabbage or any conven-
lent vegetable for green food. We also
find they are very fond of onion chop
ped fine. We never feed sloppy foods
or mashes to young chicks, as we think
these are the cause Of so much bowel
trouble. Right here let me say l find
nothing so good for this trouble as
ginger tea-a teaspoonful of ginger,
with a teacupfnl of boiling water, aft
er cooling. You will find the chicks
are fond OF this. Be sure there is no
other water they can get to. We give
this drink often while trouble lasts, If
it appears. 1t will be all right to give
them this drink once week until five
or six weeks old. Keep before them
plenty of grit and charcoal, and as far
as feeding is concerned the chicks will
grow to be healthy and happy if ev-
erything connected with the brooder is
kept perfectly clean. After the first
week we reduce the temperature Of
brooder to rs degrees and the fourth
week to about 60 degrees.

beautiful is owned by a well known
peer, who was married to an Ameri-

wished to have pipe made bearing
the likeness Of his wife, and left
several photographs and a statuette
of her with the carver. A month
later he received the pipe and bill
for $500. A number of pieces of
meerschaum had been tried, only to
prove defective, and the last piece,
which measured eight inches high,
seven inches broad and twelve
inches deep, was reduced to a pipe
three inches high and two and one
half inches at its widest part.
When. completed the pipe had
passed through the hands Of twen-
ty-seven workmen.

How Some People Blunder.


To err is hnman This we all
know, and frequently persons
with soft hearts and poor judge
mene do the most absurd and un-
reasonable things, all with the
very best OF intentions, and thus
mix up their own or their
neighbors affairs in way
that causes great, vexa-
tation and annoyance, if not posi-
tive anger and indis nation.
Sometimes such blupders are
made by an individul, sometimes
by societies or tiaternal organiza-
tions, at the instieation of some
well meaning but entirely too
hasty persons, and the result is
blunder that brings humilia-
ton and indignation to all con-
cerned, all OF which could be
avoided by obtaining a more
thorough knowledge of the mat
ter in hand before any steps are
taken. The old rule is mighty
good one to follow: 'Be sure
you're right then go ahead"
the Importance OF the same be-
ing contained IN the. admonition
''Be sure you're right In this
way many painful and distressing
affairs in life may be avoided.
Persons who attend closely to
their own affairs do not, as
rule, have time to become very
greatly excited over lhe affairs of
their neighbors, even though
their motives in doing SO may be
OF the. best.
