Newspapers. it seems-New York
newspapers, at any rate--should re.
ceive more credit than they get for
being in business solely to do good
or in some cases to raise hob
and not from any sordid purpose to
make money. Mr. John Norris is
an authority whom we find quoted
as declaring in behalf of the news
paper publishers of New York. that
there is hanging over sixteen OF them
an increase OF three million dollars
a year in cost of production. This
three millions OF added expense he
divides into $2,16O,00O for white
paper; 100000 additional for COM
positors. 100000 for stereotypers,
and 100000 for other labor. Not
more than four papers of the sixteen,
Mr. Norris says, can meet this In
creased expense and still make both
ends meet. Mr.. Norris thinks the
daily-newspaper business is the most
precarious venture going. Ninety per
cent. of the newspapers circulated in
New York he finds to be one-cent
papers. The newsdealers, Mr.. Norris
says. make vast deal of money out
of the New York papers-$1,BOO,00 900

into the forum OF discussion how

continue TO be. sold for one cent. One
cent buys at least third less of most
commodities than IL did when one

fashion, but 1t buys more newspaper
now than eyer.--Harper's Weekly.

The Successful Life.

Gods will is mans life. To know
it is to gain life's meaning. To follow
it Is to find life's pleasure. To finish
it is to gain life's crown. True sue
cess must follow this divine law of
living. No success is worth the name
that is not stamped with the divine
approval. II you are a business man
your success will not be measured by
the dollar sign, but by more lasting
token, Gods approval. The dollar is
far below the deed in the estimation
of the Almighty.
Life is, after all, the essential pos
session. Upon its character depends
destiny. Life outlasts the world, and
its deeds have a more enduring quail
ity than its possessions. Deeds await
the coming of the Son of Man. True
success will be measured then. 1t is
no chance work, however The Mas
ter, by both example and command,
puts His disciples in the path to such
success. IF man would come after
Me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross, and follow Me-" That
is a high ideal with a plain condition
OF its attainment. Such a following
of Christ makes a truly successful
life.-George r. Lunn, d. D.. in Chris
tian Intelligencer.

Barred Out.

"Yvette Guilbert," said theatrical
manager, received me in Paris. She
was busy studying for her American
tour. She told me pretty story of a
tiny American millionaire she had
met the day before--a little million
aire of six or seven years.
This youngster. calling on her
with his mother, suddenly interrupted
his play to ask:
Mamma, am l rich?'
'Well,' his mother answered,
smiling and embarrassed, you are
not poor
Pshaw,' he exclaimed, his face
clouding over. That bars me out,

A suaolk Ballot.

A ballot on novel lines has been
taken at Glemaford, In Suffolk, where
the workers in a mat factory had all
received three months notice. The
employers we've approached and a
deputation of the men suggested
ten per cent. reduction in wages In
order to keep the works going. To as

placed in the jar and only nineteen
peas. Work will therefore continue

free from lice and mites is by means
OF dust baths. In providing these
baths, 1t is well to bear in mind the
specific points which prompt their
use. While exercise is an important
thing provided by the baths, the
main good they do is to relieve the
birds from lice aud mites, which
would otherwise make their lives
miserable. The birds roll and scratch
and fun their feathers until the fine
dust is thoroughly worked through
their plumage and down to the skin.
The insects referred to breathe
through pores in their bodies and
the fine particles of dust close these
up and the vermin die.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
dust bath must be composed Of very
fine dust to be effective. The dryer
and finer 1t is the better the fowls
will like 1t, and the more good It
will do them. Some people mix fine
screened coal or wood ashes with
road dust and think that the com
bination is better than either one
alone. A little tobacco dust mixed
with the wallowing material is also
a good thing, as 1t aids in exterminat-
ing vermin.-The Epitomist.

A Wasp Tree.

The stinging tree OF Australia
somewhat resembles gigantic nettle.
1t has an unpleasant odor, and the
natives and native animals are care
full to avoid it. When a man is stung
by the tree, or, to put 1t more prosa-
icaliy, pricked by the trees's thorn,
the little wound gives at first no pain
whatever. But in a few minutes a
maddening pain is set up, and the
victim shrieks and rolls on the
ground. For months afterward, when
water touches the stung part, great
agony ensues. Dogs, when stung,
rush about with piteous whines. Bit
ing pieces of flesh from the place that
has been affected. - Birmingham

Wrecked by a Whale.

While cruising in the South Seas
the whaler Essex was furiously at
tackled by COW sperm whale sup
posed to have been the mother of
calf which had just been harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded
herself, and her attack was very de-
termined. At her first rush she
passed under the Essex and carried
away great length of her false keel;
then, coming to the surface a consid-
cradle distance away, che appeared
to take bearings and deliberately
charged the vessel again, ramming
her with such violence that she stove
in the bows, while the ship rolled so
heavily that the captain thought she
must be dismasted. The case is mem
orable because the crew had to aban-
don the vessel, and one boat was
never heard of again.-Baily's Maga-
zine.

How to Draw Poultry.

When birds are to be drawn the
operation should be performed imme-
diately after the pin-feathering is fin
ished or after they have become
slightly cooled, as it is more difficult
after they are thoroughly chilled. A
sharp knife is essential, although
some dressers prefer to make the
necessary incision with curved scis-
sors similar to those used by sur
geons. Drawn fowls usually have
the head removed also, and this
should be done first. Sever the neck
close to the head, taking care not to
cut the windpipe and gullet, which
can be more easily pulled out If left
attached to the head. Draw the neck
skin back and remove a short Sec
ton of the bone, thoroughly washing
out any blood that may collect.
Finally draw the skin forward, and
tie firmly. Remove the intestines
through small opening, as a large
aperture is unsightly as we'll as un-
necessary. Cut carefully through the
walls of abdomen, making the incis.
ion entirely around the vent, then
hook the first finger into the loops OF
the intestines and thus pull them out.
Usually the heart, liver, lungs and
gizzard are left attached in their
natural position, as ordinarily the re-
moval of the intestines is considered
sufficient. After this has been ac.
complished the cavity should be thor.
oughly washed to remove all blood
and other secretions. A select pri.
vate trade often demands that poul.
try be even more carefully prepared,
in which case the giblets should be
removed and cleaned. Cut the gall
sack from the liver, the blood ves-
sells from the heart and remove the
contents of the gizzard. Cut off the
shanks after first removing the
strong sinews which run up through
the leg to injure the quality of the
drum stick" To take out these
sinews run knife blade down the
back of the shank, between it and
the sinews. Remove the skin above
the sinews. and pull the latter out
singly by means of a strong fork OF
skewer A still easier way Is to have
a strong hook fastened to the wall
at the proper height. Place the point
OF the hook under each sinew, which
can then easily be drawn out. The bird
is now ready for lying up. Replace
the giblets in the body cavity, draw
the end of the drum sticks down to
the "pope's nose" and there tie firm
ly. Finally fold the wings behind the
back. Birds so tied are usually at
tractive. always appearing plump and
chunky, due to the absence of sprawl
ing legs and wings. Droilers may
be attractively prepared for private
trade as follows: Pluck carefully
and remove the legs and sinews as
above. With heavy sharp knife
make cut each side and the entire
length OF the backbone, severing the
ribs. Let these incisions meet in
front OF the neck and below the vent.
This permits the removal of the head
neck. backbone and entire intestinal
tract, and the bird opens out fat in
convenient form to be placed upon
the broiler. The giblets should be
cleaned and should accompany the re-
mainder of the carcass Butchers

Ouinine For Children.

An English physician makes some
novel suggestions regarding the
treatment of children who are suffer-
ing from malaria. Instead of admin
istering quinine in the form of pills,
he would make a solution (by a
method which he describes) and then
inject It under the skin with a sharp
pointed syringe. He suggests that a
puncture be made in the abdominal
region in the case of child able to
walk, or into the deep tissues of the
outer side OF the thigh in the case Of
a baby in arms. The aperture made
by the needle may be closed with a
saturated solution of gum mastiche
In rectified spirit, and piece of lint
applied. The quinine solidifies in the
tissues and is absorbed in about two
months, during which time, says the
author of the plan, the child's general
appearance greatly improves.

one and half ounces of tobacco in
two pints of water, by boiling. Ap-
ply several times at intervals, and
repeat after fifteen days to make
sure of destruction of any new brood
that may have been hatched In the
interval. To make a sure job, all
harness and stable utensils should
be treated in same manner, and the
stalls covered with whitewash con-

impossible to set the post firmly. but
even IN such cases this work can be
done very satisfactorily by packing
small stones in the hole around the
post. This work might be even more
effectually accomplished IL the post
were set in concrete, which is a little
more expensive, but will hold the post
more firmly than stones alone. In
setting the post in concrete 1t should
be tamped firmly as the hole is being
filled up. After the hole is filled with
concrete the post should not be dis
turbed for several days SO as to give
the cement time to set" Care must
be taken TO have the post exactly
plumb all the time while the work is
going on as 1t can never be straight
ened after the cement hardens. AS
gate posts are usually much heavier
than ordinary posts and are therefore
expected to last much longer than the
rest of the fence, 1t is always well to
use thoroughly seasoned wood SO as
to make the work as permanent as
possible.
Another method of setting posts.
says The Farmer, is by using two
large fiat stones to hold them in place.
The hole, of course, must be dug
much larger and before it is set in the
hole one stone is laid edgewise in the
bottom upon the side which is to re-
ceiye the greatest pressure at the foot
of the post. The post is then set in
the hole, half filled with earth and
the other stone placed against the
side OF the post TO receive the draw
Ing weight from the gate. In this
way both stones receive the pressure
holding the post firmly in position.
