ABOUT CHARCOAL.

Charcoal is used to keep poultry
and pigeons in a healthy thriving
condition, and this is done by the
charcoal absorbing all the foul gases
and sourness that may arise in the
digestive organs, and preventing di-
arrhea.
When the dropping are too soft is
the time to guard against diarrhea
by giving more charcoal in the mash;
then you will notice that the drop
pings harden and the bowels resume
their natural and healthy condition.
Poultry is frequently overfed (even
by practical poultrymen) and in nine
cases out of ten this will result in
bowel disorder, which is guarded
against in a measure by the use of
charcoal. More little chicks die of
diarrhea than any other complaint;
the use of charcoal is of assistance
in rearing the little ones, and If kept
before them constantly it will help
them to reach maturity at an early
age.
Charcoal is not drug; it is nat
ural purifier from which no bad eff
fects can result. Feed in the mash
and in the hoppers same as grit and
shell.-Farm Poultry.

ACTION OF LIME ON SOIL.

The Ohio station gives this simple
explanation of one action of lime:
"If the lime is mixed with manure
an odor of ammonia will become ap-
parent. This means that the lime Is
Mbefating the ammonia from the
manure and that it is escaping into
the air. If lime is mixed with the
soil similar action will take place.
If crop be growing upon soil it may
absorb part of the escaping ammonia
and a larger crop will result; but
this larger crop is made at the ex-
pense of the soil stores of plant food,
and If these stores are not MAIN
tanned by manuring or fertilizing,
the soil will soon refuse to respond
to lime, because all the material in
it upon which lime can act has been
drawn out, and the soil is poorer
than if no lime had been used"

THE BIRTHDAY CAKE,

What does it take to make
The birthday cake?
Sugar and spice, and everything NICE"
And snowwhite frosting as smooth as ice,
And little pink c,ndies all round the edge
Oh, who wouldn't like generous wedge
Of the wonderful birthday cake!
How many candles all alight
Must stand on the cake to make it right,
To make it regular birthday cake?
Two of pink and two of blue,
And one little shining white one, too,
Right on the beautiful tip tip top
OF the wonderful birthday cake!
Whom does it take to eat this cake?
Father and mother and Grandma Gray
And Robbie and Rosie and Eleanor May
And the dear little girl next door,
And piece for teacher in basket small,
And piece for Norah-I think that's all
Who eat the birthday cake.
There's little gold ring inside the cake,
And, strange to say, it is Eleanor May
Who wins the piece with its golden prize
For Eleanor May is five to-day.
And the birthday cake with its little sur
prise
Was made and trimmed by GRANDMOTHER
Gray
The beautiful birthday cake!

Washlngton's Birthday Mas perhana

Washington's Birthday was perhaps
the greatest holiday.
"Industrius citizens" we are told,
appropriated the hour of noon for
the congratulations of the day. Each
family enriched the domestic meal
with bountiful provisions, ana gay
spirits and temperate and undis-
sembled Joy pervaded all classes"
There were speeches and process
sions and illuminations for the less
Industrious, who were willing to give
something more than the hour of
noon to celebration, but the most
memorable observance Of the day was
that of the Harvard students:
Saying to each other that 1t
would be disgraceful to pretend to
honor Washington with riot and dis
order, they retired to their chambers
before o'clock, and by the time the
bells ceased ringing there was not a
light to be seen in any of the build
ings."
This Is equalled by the summing
up of the celebrations of Fourth of
July for the same year, day OBJ
served with great rejoicings. No ac-
cidents are reported, and the editor
concludes: "In short, in every place
we heard from, happiness was the
order of the day, tranquility of the
night. ht."-Youth's Companion.

BLUEJACKETS' MASCOT.

Bluejackets of the Monitor Nevada
have turned their backs on the billy
goat and game cock as mascots and
are now devoting their loving atten-
tions to a kingsnake. which has be-
come the pet of the ships crew.
1t is asserted that the new mascot
eats out of the hands of the sailors
and can brave the roughest seas
without getting seasick, just as
though it were a hardened old salt.
The Nevada was recently placed in
reserve at Annapolis, and the sailors
during one of their jaunts down
along the Severn discovered the snake
and taking a fancy to him took him
aboard in captivity. The snake is
said greatly to enjoy his new life on

DRIVERS CARRY CANDLES.

In Mexico all vehicles, be they
handcart, automobile or anything be-
tween, must carry light at night.
This rule or law is rigidly enforced.
Even the drivers of the poor little
burro or mule carts, on their two
wheels, must carry candle.
So, rather than buy lanterns,
which cost money, they take a dip
candle, and, wrapping it in bit Of
newspaper to shield it from the
wind, carry it in their left hand as
they drive along homeward from
work after evening has fallen. The
effect is striking, as the light, falling
strongly on the Indian driver,
throws the face of the man into
strong relief against the darkness.

Don't keep my stable very dark,
for when go out into the light my
eyes are injured.
Don't say whoa" unless you mean
1t.
Teach me to stop at the word. It
may check me if the lines break and
save a runaway and smashup.
Don't forget to file my teeth when
they get jagged and cannot chew
my food.
When I get lean it may be a sign
my teeth want fling.
Don't run me down a steep hill.

PRODUCING CERTIFIED MILK.

Clean stables that are easily kept
clean, a healthy herd and careful,
cleanly men. He says his cows are
always fed after milking. Just be-
fore the milking the cows are
brushed, and floor, walks and air of
the stable are sprayed. A man with
warm water then washes the sides
and udder of the cattle. A second
man repeats the operation, after
which the cows are milked into cans
covered with sterilized cheese cloth
covers and the milk Immediately re-
moved from the stable to the cooling
room, after which it is bottled This
man gets twelve cents a quart for his
milk, thus being handsomely paid
for his extra care and expense

Coster, a five-year-old girl who at.

tim, and at first the teacher was
unable to make out just what the
child was doing. When any copy
is given to her to write she starts
at the right hand side of the paper.

a mirror, it cat be easily read and
the copy is surprisingly plain

ToAD's MATCHING PLACES.

Every tiny toad lays a stupendous
number of eggs. DR.. C. F. Hodge, of
Clark University, in Worcester,
Mass, received 11,545 eggs from one
toad, necessary fertility, since the
chances of an egg developing into
toad are less than one in 4 thousand.
Within two weeks after the eggs
are laid the young tadpoles being to
appear and feed first on their gela-
tinous envelope. Next the Shiny
deposits common to ponds and
swamps are attacked. Steadily grow
the young wrigglers until their bod
les enlarge to the size of thumb nails
by the end of June. The long tail
now is absorbed and the legs develop.
They begin to hop on the bank and
disperse, never to return save in the
breeding season.
1t Is at the spring of the year that
the toads awake from their winter
sleep below the rocks and scrub.
They often have been literally frozen
stiff, but they return to life as heal
thy as ever and on the first balmy
night migrate toward the nearest
breeding pond. Usually this is the
old homestead where they were born.
For the toad is a domestic animal
and will travel mile or more for the
sake of returning to the place of its

FATE IN SENATE SEATS.
Death or Retirement Only Hope of
ThOsc RndIy PInced

The question of seats in the Senate
chamber is not determined by lot. but is
largely a matter of waiting for some
other fellow to die or get out.
Senator Beveridge has succeeded TO the
seat formerly occupied by Senator
Spooner, which is directly in front of the
Chair, and in excellent position for a
solon of Senator Beveridge's proclivities
for mixing in with anything that may
happen TO be going on. Senator Nc
Laurin, of Mississippi. however holds
probably the best seat in the Senate on
the Democratic side Of the cham
Der. 1t is in the first row on the center
aisle, and was formerly occupied bv the
late Senator Morgan
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas. succeeds
TO the seat vacated by Senator Rerrv's
retirement which is just behind Nc
Laurin's. Senator Kittredge. Of South
Dakota, occupies seat twenty-three. and
seems TO enjoy it. Other Senators whose
locations have been improved by the
changes brought by the new Congress
are Senator Hopkins, of Illinois: Piles. of
Washington; Dick, of Ohio; Brandegee,
Of Connecticut; Bulkeley. of Connecticut.
and Knox, Of Pennsylvania
Senator Jef Davis gets the seat form
erly occupied by Carmack, and his
friend, Bob" Taylor, occupies New
lands old seat. the latter making a move
to the front row. Others who come up
into the coterie Of the fortunate ones are
Galllnger, CullOm, and Hepburn.

ting their ideas pretty well defined as to
the character and scope of the currency
bill which they may pass. They have
not worked out the details and say that
it will require much study and inquiry
to lay even the foundation for the meas
ure. but the prevailing opinion among
them seems 20 be that the taxable GER
tificates or notes TO be issued by clearing
houses or banks, or both, which they
have in mind to give elasticity to the
currency, must be secured in such way
as TO have all the value and attract all
the confidence Of government paper.
That this stability can be given with
out conining the collateral for the issue
to government bonds is accepted by the
leaders. They are willing that the bonds
Of some States shall be accepted. and
that other minor and unofficial bonds
may be utilized for collateral but they
have not determined among themselves
just how far the list of approved securj-
ties shall be extended.

Is Not Contemplating Tnrif Revision
Commission.

Senator Beveridge. Of Indiana. has no
intention OF making any move toward a

despite report which was in circula-
ton to that effect yesterday.
The Senator said last night that he
would. after mature consideration. sug-

the prices of various imports. but that
he had no idea or intention Of recon-
mendIng the appointment of any body
having the object either of revising the
tariff or Of recommending such revis on.
The purpose of any commission which he
may father, he said. would simply be TO
Investigate the question.
I would strenuously oppose the ap-
pointment OF any commission for tariff
revision purposes" said Senator Beve-
ridge. That Is matter which is in the
hands ef Congress itself. and ! should
certainly either suggest or favor any
effort 10 put so important a measure in
