Poultry Ailments.

Only in rare instances does poultry
require doctoring, says Kate " Saint
Maur in Womans Home Comparison,
yet it is we'll TO be prepared with suffi-
cient knowledge to recognize the symp-
toms of approaching trouble. A few
small coops should be kept in some dry,
sheltered outhouse, to be used as quar-
antine quarters. Empty dry goods
boxes turned on their sides, with half
the front boarded across, and door of
wire netting to close the other half,
make good coops for individual pa
tients. They should be covered all
around, sides and top and bottom, with
roofing paper, to insure freedom from
draft. The boxes may be any size, but
/ like them about eighteen inches wide
and high, and about two and half feet
long. To avoid dampness, and for
convenience in attending to the birds,
it is well to elevate them on legs or
stand them on shelf or bench. Before
using, or whenever they are vacated,
they should be disinfected, and the
inside thoroughly painted with white
wash The enameled cups, without
handles, can be attached to the side of
the coop by wire loops"

that some one arose and declared that
one man like Calhoun was worth more
to America than all the material wealth
of the South. Whether this be true or
not, it shows the just estimate of the
power of one good man.
There is story told by Hawthorne in
Twice Told Tales of the Gray veteran
which embodies this fact. One morn
ing as men were about their business,
the British Red Goats issued from their
barracks, and, to the strains of martial
music, marched about the streets of the
New England town. Housewives
stopped their work and breathed a
prayer men left their business and
held hurried conversations on the
streets. This was a dark day for to-
day the armies of King George were to
declare anew his sovereignty over the
colonies of the New World. As these
soldiers hurried to the town hall, where
the kings proclamation would be read,
gray veteran, clad in homespun, lean
ing upon his staff cut from the native
wilderness, lifted his thin hand and
gave stern command-"H Halt !" At
the simple word of this gray veteran,
these trained soldiers trembled with fear
and rushed back to their barracks. This
gray veteran was none other than the
spirit Of American manhood-the voice
of American character
When we shall stand before the throne
of God, we shall not be asked as to our
strength, nor shall we be meas
ured by the dollars and cents we have
accumulated, nor shall we be measured
by the laurel crowns we have worn upon
our heads, but that which will count
most here and win a crown hereafter is

CHIVALRY In
THIS CITY---YES
Young Man Says He Has
Worn Out twenty-five
Hats by Tipping

'Ive worn out twenty-five mats taking
them off to women, since coming to VIII
nhngton," said young man down on
King street yesterday. A remark so full
OF romance as that deserves notice other
cities may observe that tho age of chiv-
airy is stlll hourishing in Wilmington no
matter how the spirit OF comnorcialism
that meanly considers the high cost Of
hats may Undue less happy communities.
Then there is the tribute 10 Wilmington

primary cause Of the rapid wearing out OF
masculine hats. No oldly-calcuiatng.
light touch. and slight elevation IL pos
slble to a man when confronted with the
charming presence Of "A wilmington wo-
man. A vigorous grab and enthusiastic
execution Of wide parabolas and elipses
through the air is all that is lef, TO him.
This speaker was a merry young man,
with black eyes, curly black hair and an
engaging smile. and he had evidently been
brought up in the country. Probab the
first hat was a broad brimmed lid smack
ing of the farm, which had gone Off rapid
~ through nervous twisting in ms hands
as he talked to some fair damsel on a
been as follows Eight dcrbies six soft
fets. four straws, three caps.
1t could not have been more than three
years at the outside that the young man
had resided in the citg which implies that
nc was widely popular and had large
circ.e of acquaintance. Leaving out the
farmer hat which went off through rea-
sons of bashfuness, that would make
seven hats per year. But that would not
/ be a correct division because the genial
young mans acquaintances probably
doubled each year. The accurate ratio
would be three hats the first year. six
hats the second year. ana twelve hats last
year; and that viii mean twenty-four hats
next year. Even this reasoning IS inexact,
because the number of women met would
differ greatly in different months. The
month hc had the fine case Of poison ivy,
] which kept his face rcd and swollen and
one eye c.osed, there was great saving
in his hat bin. The month he got a new
spring suit wore out two hats. Some weeks
he met mostly old ladies, and other weeks
they were young and pretty.
However. it seems pity that so chival.
rous a young man should be discourag geo
by his expenses for hats. Is there not
some method to retard the weaIing-oul
process? Now the worn spot on every ons
of hishats IS the northwest corner. just
forward and above the right ear. Can h'

Or there might be a system Of levers at
tached to the frame, so that by pressing
button in his waistcoat pocket the ha
would rise gently from his head and again

ceptible wear.
