When a poultry association or agri-

Snakes are a great pest to poui-

are kept in the yards to catch the rep

Hens seldom get hard crop from
swallowing straw on the scratching
floor unless they are nearly starved

grab grain and straw together. and
so much straw coils and blocks way
to the gizzard.

to the Brain.
Painting is loss Of consciousness
due to the diminution Of blood supply
to the brain. 1t occurs most frequent
" In weak, sensitive women, but may
occur also to men as well. It usually
occurs in crowds or in crowded halls,
theaters and churches, where the at
mosphere is close and the air foul.
Painting usually lasts only a few
minutes. and the person RECEIVERS i'm
mediately when taken out into the
fresh air, but there are cases in which
1t lasts much longer. sometimes for an
hour or more. The frst aid treatment
of fainting is usually very simple.
Take the person out into the fresh
air and lay him fat on the back, with
the head lower than the feet
This can be done by grasping the
feet and holding the body SO that the
head hangs down, or take an ordinary
straight back chair, turn it over so
that the back forms an angle with the
door and place the person on the back
of the chair with the head hanging
down. This position with the head
hanging down favors the flow Of the
blood back to the brain.
All tight clothing about the neck and
waist should be loosened. Smelling
salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia
applied to the nostrils and cold water
sprinkled on the face, chest and hands
help to restore consciousness.-N Nation

DANDRUFF, FALLING
HAIR STOPPED
Harmless, Old-Fashioned Rem
edy Brings Back Color to Gray
Hair and Makes It Grow.

How many old-fashioned remedies are
being used, which goes to show that it
is hard to improve some of our grand
mothers old-time, tried remedies. For in
stance, for keeping the hair dark, soft and
glossy nothing equals our grandmothers'
Sage tea" Although, by the addition Of
sulphur and other ingredients, this old
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as a scalp tonic and color re-
storer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or
gets faded or gray, instead of going to
the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the ''tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.
Druggists are authorized to sell it
under guarantee that the money will be
refunded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

QUEER CAVALRY CHARGE.
Attack Upon a Stranded Gunboat by
Mounted Souad

Attack Upon Stranded Gunboat by
Mounted Squad.
After the action at Sabine Cross
roads Gin April. 1891 the Lexington
was leading the feet on the way down
the Red river A rifle fire was direct
ed upon her decks from the Confed-
crate skirmishers on the shore. At
one point the river widened out and
the channel meandered through an
open stretch of comparatively shallow
water. As the Lexington reached this
open stretch the man at the wheel, who
had been replaced once or twice dur
ing the trip. was struck by well d.
rected shot from the bank. The little
vessel turned sidewise to the current
and grounded bow and stern across
the narrow channel. A squad Of Con-
federate cavalry, led by General Green
and Ex-Governor Mouton, seized the
opportunity for brilliant coup. They
rode out through the shadows, the wa
ter being up to the shoulders of their
horses, keeping up such sharp fire
that the decks of the gunboat had to

for moment as If they would be able
to get on board and take possession
Of the vessel. If their attempt had
been successful the vessel would have
been sunk where she lay and the chan
mel would have been blocked The
next vessel in the column was still
above the point waiting until by the
movement of the smoke from the
stacks of the Lexington it could be
known that the channel was clear
