piarrhoea Il FowIs.

Sometimes Il happens that darrhoea
occurs in h0clys where the management
has been good, and at once the difficulty
is diagnosed BY the polHtryman a chol-
era. or some other contagious disease,
The cause 81 this diarrhoea is usually
the free use Of very watery, green food.
When rye. grass. tender weeds and other
bulky foods are largely consumed BY the
fowls. the result may he laxative eff
feet. but this occurs mostly when the
green food is very young and very lit-
tie solid matter, says the New York
Farmer.
The remedy for the difficulty is to con-
fine the birds in their yards for few
days. feeding them twice a day on ra-
ton Of ten parts OF eornmeal, two paris
Of sifted ground oats and one part Of
fine bran. adding a gil Of linseed meal
and teaspoonful 81 salt to every quart,
cooking the mixture as bread.

A HoIdup That was Futile.

Highway robbery, praetised by one
bird upon another, is not very unusual.
Many Of us have seen one wild bird
snatch from another some bit of food
that he has secured and procession
OF chickens in pursuit Of one Of their
number thata has obtained morsel
too large TO be swallowed at once is a
common sight wherever chickens are
kept. A famous and very impressive
example of this robbery takes place
when the bald eagle ehases the iishhawk
that has captured a prey and forcing
lit to drop the fish appropriates it to
its own uses. Gulls Of various species
are also great robbers, and in fact many
Of them live BY this trade.
IN the Wilson Bulletin, L. S. kohler
describes an unusual battle over food
in which a pair Of redheaded woodpeck-
ers and four bmeiays were quarrelling
aud lighting over a large fragment Of
decaved suet He GAYS; "Fhe redheads

BY the woodpeckers. the latter easily
dispensing the assanlters by attempting
to pierce the bodies of the jays with
their sharp biEs.
"The jays principal method Of attack
was to singlT pounce down near the
redheads on the trunk Of the tree on
which the woodpeel1ers had established
themselves and utter shriil cries and
try to snatch the suet, but on finding
that single attempts were Of no avail
they rallied their forces and then made
general advance, each adopting diff
ferent method Of strategy to gain the
desired end. All their efforts were Of
no use. and after almost a half hour Of
fierce battie, the jays left the redheads
with their quarry, and flew Off, apparent

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Disorder Which Yields to the
Tonic Treatment as This
Philadelphia Case
Shows.

There is form Of indigestion in
which the stomach may be in a perfectly
sound condition. This is called nervous
dyspepsia and arises from disturbance
OF tho nervous system which controls the
digestive process. That the nerves do
control this process is evident from the
fact that acute emotions such as grief OF
despair Immediately stop digestion, and
that an injury to the brain or nerve
center causes nausea and other distur-
Dances Of the stomach. The digestive
fluids such as saliva and gastric juice are
the products OF cells which are abun-
dainty supplied with nerve fibree, and
the mere expectation Of food will START
the flow Of these fluids
An instance in which this form OF
nervous trouble was readily cured by the
tonic treatment was that Of Mr. Joseph
Walden, Of slS North Eighth street,
Philadelphia, Pa He says:
