"One may walk for hours without
seeing a living creature, and the
silence is only broken by the harsh
cries of macaws and parrots as they

oppressive.
But the moment the sun drops this
silence is broken by sounds like the
crash of a great orchestra. Even an

can form no conception save by their
frightful cries

strange creature, who proved to be
cucupira.
What is the matter, brother? the
cucupira asked, and sitting down be-
side him added: I am hungry, give
me piece of your heart to eat?'
Secretly reaching behind him, the
hunter gave him the monkeys heart.
THAT is good, now your liver said
the hungry demon.
This was eaten also. Then the
hunter saio:
"T, too, am hungry: give me your
heart and liver

outdone, took the hunters knife and

down dead.

OIL KING TO BUILD HOSPITAL.
Large Institution to Treat Obscure
Diseases Planned.

New York.-Plans have been made
for large hospital to be conducted
In connection with the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research. Borings
have been made south of the present
building, where there are extensive
outcroppings Of rock. 1t is likely that
the foundations will be laid at that
point, as the site will command a
view of the river and at the same
time give the patients the full benefit
Of the breeze from the stream.
1t is understood that the project has
been approved by John d. Rockefeller,
who established the institute. and that
funds will be provided by him. The
institute was founded primarily for
investigation of cerebro-spinal men
ingitis, with the object of finding a
cure for that mysterious disease.
In many ways the hospital will be
unique. Its patients will be those suf-
fering from obscure diseases. Both
grown people and children will be ad-
mitted. The objects OF the hospital
will be. first to cure ailments which
have failed to respond to ordinary
treatment. and second. to AFFORD ma

horn fowls. headed by a proud and
handsome cock bird
AS all people familiar with poultry
know, the leghorns have very long
combs. The cock especially has par
ticularly large and snowy appendage
of this character. as well as heavy
wattles. This fact led Prof. Graham
to select birds of the leghorn breed
for his experiment.
The winter passed and the little
flock of leghorns were still living in
the tent and not a single comb had
been frosted. although there were sew
eral exceedingly cold nights.
Any one who may consider this ap-
parent exposure of the flock to the
cold as being cruel will be interested
to know that on several occasions the
thermometer showed that the tempera-
ture was lower in some of the closed
houses than in the tent. Moreover,
the combs of the fowls in one of the
regulation houses were touched by
frost during cold snap in February.
but the happy little flock in the tent
escaped without any misfortune of
this character.
The ground in the tent is covered
with straw for the birds to scratch
in. There is box for a nest and
low roost for the birds to use at
night. During the daytime the flock
is allowed to run outside.

The plan of using muslin curtains
instead of glass in poultry houses is
finding so much favor that it is being
experimental with all over New Eng
land. Dealers in poultry supplies now
sell oiled muslin, to be used for this
purpose, by the yard. 1t is by no
means necessary to use oiled muslin,
however, for that which has not been
coated with oil serves Just as well,
although it is not quite SO durable
1t is a surprising fact, but one
which has been repeatedly tested, that
the temperature in building the win
dows of which are covered with
muslin is only two to four degrees
colder than one in which glass is used,
and that the temperature really seems
warmer, because the air contains less
moisture.
In houses which are kept tightly
closed moisture often forms on the
inside walls and renders the house
damp, the result being that the fowls
develop colds and are attacked with
roup.
AS a rule, there is much less sick
ness in a flock of poultry housed in
quarters which are ventilated by
means of cloth windows. OF course.
less light is admitted through cloth
than through glass, and it is well to
have one glass window. although it is
the usual practice to raise the muslin
curtain during the day, allowing the
air to enter freely. The opening
should be high enough SO that the
wind will not blow directly on the
birds.
A number of dairymen are now ex-
perimenting with muslin windows in
their barns, and satisfactory reports
on this experiment are being made.

he has been spending his time in his
apartments receiving reports, writing
cards and consulting with friends. He

Hoke Smith, whose powers of endur-
ance are the marvel Of Georgia. All
the attacks made upon Brown, all the

and was then sent to the University
Of Georgia, and afterward took a legal
course at Harvard. His education
completed, he came home and went

He began his railroad work In 1877.
when he was hired as clerk in tho
freight department of the Western &

freight agent in 1881, general freight
and passenger agent in 1884 and traf-

sitions of responsibility.
Mr.. Brown was appointed railroad
commissioner and was ousted by Gov.

New England has been responsible
Oto large degree for the plan of us
ing cold poultry houses, which is be-
ing generally adopted all over the
country.
Until few years ago poultrymen
everywhere believed that the warmer
a henhouse could be kept the better
the results would be. So sthe build
-ngs were made as snug as possible,
with close-fitting windows, tight doors.
sometimes even with stove to add
more heat than that furnished by the
bodies of the fowls.
Now this practice has been so far
departed from by many New England
poultrymen that muslin curtains have
taken the place of glass windows, the
doors are left open much of the time
and no one is greatly concerned If a
bushel or two of snow blows in.
Prof. G. NJ. Gowell of the Maine
agricultural experiment station at
Orono was the pioneer in the matter
of exploiting the use of muslin cur
tains in place of glass, and the results
of his experiments along this line
nave leu HuHuTeuS VI peOple u duOpt
his plan.
Prof. Gowell uses houses which have
both glass windows and muslin cur
tains, the idea being to admit a gen.
erous amount both of light and of air.
He also uses curtains in front of the
roosts, so that the birds sleep in what
is practically roosting closet. This
curtain is SO arranged that it can be
raised and fastened up out of the way,
and it is lowered only on cold nights.
1t is a well-known fact that a
square house affords great deal
more floor space than one which is
long and narrow, and the Gowell
houses are built with that thought in
mind, so that the roosts are a con-
siderable distance from the windows.
The birds confined in these houses
have done remarkably well.
The cold house is just as well adapt
ed to the needs of the amateur, the
man with a small flock. as to those of
the commercial poultryman.
F. W. Colby of Auburn, Me-, has a
new house for his flock of fine white
and silver wyandottes which is on en-
Ilrely up-tO-uate lines. 1t Is 4O feet
long. with double walls on the west
and north sides. There is a pitched
roof, covered with tarred paper. The
sides are also covered with tarred pa
per. The front of the house is COW
cred with common factory cotton at
ten cents yard. with small glass
window in each pen. Each pen has a
roosting room with curtain arrange
ment, to be closed at night when the
weather is cold. Mr.. Colby built this
house himself. and says that the mate
rial and labor did not exceed $40.
1t has remained, however, for
