While delivering an address at a
woman's club an actress told the
story of young woman prominent in
New York society who desired to
achieve hstrionic honors.
The manager to whom she confided
her desire pointed out the inadvisabil-
ity of the step she contemplated and
added that even were he disposed to
give her the chance she coveted he
would still be in doubt whether her
talents were such as to justify such
action on his part.
"What is particularly desired by us
at the present time," he said, sis the
service of people who know the me-

Sheep as Land Cleaners.

In discussing the value of sheep on
a country place their service as land
cleaners should not be ignored. They
like pasture grasses, but they seem to
like weeds and bushes even better for
browse. They will often clean up an
old field in year or two, so that what
was a tangle or unsightly weeds and
shrubs will appear a smooth shaver
lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at
this sort Of thing, but the common,
everyday sheep of the ordinary breed

Alive Under an Avalanche.

Human beings occasionally live
through incredibly long imprisonments
after their dwellings have been over
whelmed by avalanches. On March
10, 1865, avalanches buried the village
of Bergemoletto, in the italian Alps.
and on April % three women were dug
out alive from a stable in which they
had been immured for thirty-seven
days in the dark beneath the mass of
snow which lay forty-two feet higher
than the roof. With them had been
buried little boy, six goats, donkey
and some hens.
The child, the donkey and the fowls
soon died, but the goats helped the
women to survive, their milk supple
menting the thirty or forty cakes and
the pocketful of chestnuts upon which
they depended for food Hope of find
ing the women alive had been aban-
doned when far in April the brother
of one had a dream in which she ap-
pealed to him for rescue.
The weather then at last made eX-
cavation possible, and the women were
restored to the world and presently to
health.-Chicago News.

work last March and taken a position
as JanitOr of the SummerVille school

Dew as DRINKING Water.

The English administration at Gibral-
tar, where water is very scarce, col
lects dew by the following very sim
pie method: A large pit is dug in the
earth and covered with dry wood or
straw, which in turn is covered either
with earth or with sheet iron. The
straw or wood serves as a heat in
sulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground to
the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more rap
idly than the ground, so that its tenn
perature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air; hence
dew is formed upon the iron or the
layer of earth in very large quantities.
The water thus obtained is drained off
into reservoirs and after Qualification
is used for MISUNDERSTANDING Amer

Prayer MEETING In the Commons.


For many years a prayer meeting

mons once a week during every parlia-
mentary session. No one knows who
originated the idea, but the records of
the proceedings, which are faithfully
noted each week, show that in the
year 1888 the well known Quaker Mr..
T. Fowen Buxton and the evangel-
icals Sir George Grey and Mr.. Zach

tendance. The prayer meeting is held
In a room granted for the purpose by
the sergeant-atAarms and is restricted
to twenty minutes. The proceedings
are very simple. At each weekly meet
ing a president for the following week
is chosen. On the day of assembling
Tuesday, at o'clock-the president
for the day opens the meeting, reads
a portion of the Scriptures and either
offers an extempore prayer or calls on
one of the members to pray. Two or
three others offer short prayers, and

January.
All stock saved for sale as breeders
should have been got rid of around
the holiday season or shortly there
after, and the poultryman begins the
year with a we'll culled flock of layers
In January the laying hens will re-
quire more attention than at any 9th
er season of the year. The weather
is severe. and as egg prices are high
every egg added to the basket rep
resents a good profit. See that the
house is tight, except openings in the
front left for ventilation. See that
these windows are so protected that
snow does not blow in. Whether you
will keep the hens shut in or allow
them to run out will depend upon your
general plan of operation. If feeding
in litter is used. it will be best to keep
the hens indoors as much as possible,
and careful watch will be necessary to
see that the birds are kept busy and
always too hungry to nope around,
yet the January hen must never go to
bed with an empty crop. When the
temperature of the house is below
freezing the hens should be given
water with the chill taken off twice
or, better still. three times day.
Sometimes eggs will have to be gath

A Diet of Wild Honey.

Wild honey as change is an agree

constantly partaking of it the Euro
pean palate rejects it as nauseous and
almost disgusting. Our experience ex-

period our food consisted solely of it
and maize. 1t has escaped the Biblical
commentators that one of the princi-

must have undergone was his diet of

A method of taking the oath far

was that observed at the Forest of

but to prevent soiling the book that

cred more than once a day so that
they will not freeze in the nest. Do
not neglect to provide green food. If
your supply of fall cabbages and 9th
er vegetables run out, it will be nee
essary to use either steamed clover or
alfalfa or to sprout oats
February.
The February work of the poultry
yard is very like that of the January.
The main idea at this season Of the
year is to keep the hens laying. When
the warm days come. the droppings
that have accumulated in the poultry
house will become damp and malodor-
GUS and should be removed. If there
is a heavy fall of snow shovel
little strip in front of the house. and if
hens range around stables or in feed
lots it will pay to shovel a path for
them During very sloppy days it
may be desirable to shut the hens in.
as it is of little benefit for them to
trail around in the slush. and it will
result in the soiling of the eggs.
March.
With a well kept flock of poultry
the March egg yield is the heaviest
Of the year. Eggs are declining in
price rapidly at this season and should
be marketed frequently. By this
month any supply of vegetables kept
from the previous fall will have been
exhausted. and with the feeling of
spring in the air the poultryman must
not forget that warm days will not
bring the hens spring foods. Dry
clover and alfalfa are fair. but sprout-
ed oats are better. and it will be worth
the trouble necessary to prepare them.
AS soon as the ground may be worked
all yards or. if on a farm, a patch of
ground near the poultry house should
be Sown in oats. The chickens may
pull one-half the crop up by the roots
as it comes through the ground, but it
is the chickens we are interested in
and not the oat crop.
If the incubator is to be used for
Matching it should be started about the
1st of March. while the hens may
now be set as rapidly as they become
broody. With the heavy breeds every
effort should be made to have the bulk
of the chickens hatch during the
month of April. During the last two
weeks in March incubators are to be
set for Leghorns.
April.
With green food sowu the previous
month the egg production problem in
April will simplify itself considerably.
The hens can now range abundantly.
and the care necessary in the winter
time to keep them busy and happy is
no longer required. April is the poul-
tryman's busy month. His labors with
the layers consist chiefly in gather
ing the eggs. but the work is most ar
duous with sitting hens and incuba-
tors, which are now running full blast
and even more of his time must go to

Charlotte Ross, only child of Mr. and

with all who knew her, died Friday
night, the news of her death bringing
sadness to many hearts. She was born
here on March 2, 1897, and was in the
seventh grade of the Summer street
school, She was an unusually at
tractive child and although her trail
health had prevented her from complet-

usual health. The funeral was held Sun

METHOD OF PACKING DRESSED POULTRY.
fed chickens should be sold as such,
and if the local packer does not recog-
niZe them and offer a higher price it
will be necessary for the farmer who
fattens his chickens to look to some
more distant market. as in getting
fancy prices on guaranteed fresh eggs
l would not ordinarily advise the
small grower to attempt to kill and
dress his own stock of poultry. Like
wise it is equally foolish for him to
attempt to ship them alive to any great
distance. as they will deteriorate great
ly in quality while en- route.
The local poultry dealer is practically
the only place where the farmer can
sell his poultry flesh. and a little urg-
ing of the dealer to give special at
tention to his fattened or extra fancy
stock will probably be time better
spent than in an effort to market it
himself.
