attachment a secret evidently enough,
on account of Brancepeth's uncIe's de-

their having left US out of their conf

thought it best because they feared
that Cecil Chiltern, who, it seemed,
was a great friend and political ally of
his despotic uncle, would find out from
US, probably through my wife's friend

SIDE-HILL POULTRY HOUSE
PoabIe-Story Affair With Scratch
ing Pen Below.

A convenient way of building a
poultry house on a side hill is shown
in the drawing herewith. This is a
dOuble-story affair, with scratching
room below. This room is open to
the south and is partly below ground,
says the Orange Judd Farmer. Not
only does this afford a good scratching
room, but it aids in moderating the
temperature in the roosting room
above, which is thus kept warm in
winter and cool in summer If de-
sired, a part of this lower room may
be used as dust bath, preferably with
a glassed window in front to protect
it from rain and snow and to keep the
dust well summed. Drinking water
should be kept on the second floor, so
as to be away from the dust as much
as possible.
The upper floor is provided with
roosts, nests, a wire front, and a can
vas screen, which may be opened or
closed at will. The roosts should be
all removable, and so should the drop
ping board and nests A convenient
width for the house as Il whole is
about ten feet. In the drawing the
proportions are about 4 feet high for

Individuality.

Every lite is a profession of faith,
and exercises an inevitable and silent
propaganda. AS far as lies in it's
power, it tends to transform the uni
verse and humanity into its own I'M
age. Thus we have all cure of
souls. Every man is the center of per
petLa1 radiation like a luminous body;
he is, as it were, a beacon which en-
tees a ship upon the rocks, if it does
not guide it into port. Every man is
a priest, even involuntarily; his con
duct is an unspoken sermon, which IS
forever preaching to others; but there
are priests of Baal, of Moloch, and of
all the false gods. Such is the high

HOW TO KEEP ENEMIES
THE ART AS PRACTICED BY ANA.
ION INDIANS.
Heads of Enemies Are Embalmed,
Profusely Decorated and Then Used
for Purposes OF Adornment-
GrisIy Souvenirs Sold.

An Italian traveller reports from the
interior of Brazil the discovery OF an
chronological collection Of much value.
The chief object of interest is an
embalmed head Of the tribe of the
Mwndwrwows-a trophy OF war.
1t is to this day a custom of the In
dams Of the upper basin Of the Anna
zon to take the heads Of enemies for
the purpose Of embalming, adjoining,
and preserving them.
The head in question is very ornate,
being ornamented with long streamers
of bright feathers attached to the hair,
while the eye sockets are filled, in de
fault of glass, with the teeth of a
large semi-aQuatic rodent native tc
the region.
From the mouth depend a number
of heavy cords These. however, are
not meant for beautifers. They are
merely intended to keep the lips quite
rigid and motionless, with the canny
object Of defeating any desire Of the
late departed spirit to utter curses
and revilings in the abode of his con-
oueror.
It has long been known that the
South American Indians possess secret
and jealousy guarded processes OF
embalming Among certain tribes Of
Ecuador human heads are so mummi-
fed that they are reduced to the size
of a mans fist, without the features or
the expression being noticeably al
tered.
The hair retains its length and
character, but the skin and bones
shrink without losing their relative po-
sition and symmetry.
Fifteen years ago it was possible to
get these little mummified heads in
the interior, and even at Quito, where
colporteurs offered them frequently to
tourists at the doors of the hotels
81 bought a pair of them for hun
dred francs or so" writes v. Forbin
in La Nature.
1t is now, however, impossible TO
obtain them, and all on account of the
sudden development of commercial
acumen on the part of the simple saw
age
Business, indeed, became so very
brisk as the prices on these objets de
vertu advanced that the government
became uneasy in regard to the mat
ter. Investigations were set on foot
by the police and by the missionaries
which resulted in a shocking discov-
cry. The fact Is that the demand
having outrun the supply, the cupidity
of the Indians of the eastern province
was so stimulated that, having no
prisoners of war, they were arranging
ambuscades for each other, merely to
obtain heads to embalm for the mar
ket.
The archbishop of Quito promptly
communicated the enterprising mer7
chants who dealt in these grisly SOU
venirs, and the authorities forbade
their sale under heavy penalties,
whereupon the simple savage returned
to less profitable employment and
abandoned modern methods of cut
throat commerce. ..

that the recital of this incident from

nothing else could, that I was right in

WISE BUYING THE BEST
Take an inventory of Stock and Ex-

Do we buy unwisely at times and
under stress, or do we buy wisely as
a habit?
If we do the latter, this is high time
to reform. No woman wants her
closet filed with gowns and hats that
are useless, and she does not want
the memory of having spent SO on
something that had to be given away
because she could not use it.
1t is all very well to give away old
clothes, but it takes saint to give
away new ones with any degree of I'M
selfshness and equanimity
What the coming season will really
bring is only rumored, not foretold.
There Is no reason to believe that hats
or skirts will be less eccentric than
they have been. Cclors viii probably

worn Hats will be trimmed at the
back, skirts will be short, and pre-
sumably narrow.

Fine Euds for Hatchinu.

Too many people are afraid to pay
the price of fine stock for eggs for
Matching. Remember that the best
costs money and, while it is just as
easy to raise thoroughbred fowls after
you get started, you must pay a good
price for good stuff to start with. So
many who are just starting in fancy
poultry keeping want to get fine birds
for too little money. Remember that
fine birds are in demand and the per
son who has them doesn't need to sell
them at give-away prices. Often those
who have not fine stock offer them as
fine at very low prices.

OOUITRYYsa'
FEED POULTRY BEEF SCRAPS
Hens Need Variety of Food if They
Are to Be Kept in Healthy
Laying Condition.

Poultry need variety of food if
they are to be kept in healthy laying
condition. There are too many focks
OF poultry on our farms during the
winter that lack animal and green
food-ln fact, are fed one-sided ra-
ton Corn and oats are handy, and it
rs something to eat for the hens
EBut IN order to produce eggs and be
profitable, hens must have some pro-
portion of animal food. Beef scrap is
excellent if it is properly prepared and
properly fed. This is a preparation
from scraps of beef that are purified
and, through chemical process, are
preserved for future use. Care must
be taken that the scrap is pure and of
good quality. If it is salty, musty,
.lumpy, or has a foul odor, it is not fit
to feed; in fact, will cause indigestion
and bowel trouble when forced upon
the hens.
Where the hopper system of feeding
is followed, do not mix the beef scrap
with the grain, but supply it to the
fowls III an apartment by itself. Fowls
should first become accustomed to it
by giving them a little at a time at
first. Overlooking OF this highly nu-
tritious food will cause bowel trouble,
says Wisconsin Farmer After hens
have become accustomed to it, sup
ply can be kept before them at all
times, and that they will eat only
what they need, provided they are fed
literally of other foods and do not
partake of the scrap to satisfy their
hunger. If it is found that fowls are
eating too much Of the beef scrap,
take it away altogether and only feed
1t occasionally, giving it either in the
mash or feeding it dry, according to
the convenience of the poultry keeper.
Fowls should have only small pro-
portion Of the beef scrap-about Is or
20 pounds to each 100 pounds or dry
grain, and even less than that will
give good results.
Farmers who are keeping a small
flock of hens for winter eggs-say
about fifty hens-will do well to buy
"a couple of hundred pounds of beef
scrap. or any other prepared animal
food, and see what a difference can
be made in the production of eggs. A
little Of scrap, together with variety
of vegetables and what other animal
food that is usually obtainable on
farm, will make eggs when the price
is high. Do not wait until the last
moment before laying in the proper
food for winter eggs.

Do not allow inferior cabbage, po-
