Zoo Talk.

A complete zoo for St. Louis is
again among the current subjects Of
discussion Director De Vry of the
Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is help
ing to create enthusiasm among
St. Louis circles.
The subject has been entered into
in detail to such an extent that
the proper location is being consider
ed.
The public parks are declared, on
high authority to be unsuited to the
proposed addition to the city's assets.
All of which is promising. 1t indi-
Gates, at least. that sentiment in
favor of a zoo is crystallizing' II
means that results may be expected
along definite lines in the near flu
ture.
Nor is there any danger of the main
point being obscured, namely;
that St Louis is with out one service
ablelever in bringing visitors to this
point, so long as it lacks an institu-
ton which appeals so strongly to all
sorts and conditions of men, and
which is possessed by rival cities

Home on Vacation.

Prince E. Rouse, who has the
chair Of Latin and Greek in Cente-
nary College, Shreveport; La, came
Saturday night to spend the sum-
mer with his parents and friends.
We understand that his work in
Centenary has been very accepta-
BILE to the authorities there and that
he has been unanimously reelected
to his place, which fact speaks well
for him.
He reports that the South is a
great place for pretty girls and, a
fine climate, but that it can not
beat Missouri.-Bucklin Herald.

Hindu Weddings and Burials.

The expenses of a Hindu wedding
come upon the brides father. and
they are so great that a family
sometimes is, ruined or impoverish-
ed for many years by the marriage
of a daughter. The next costly af-
fair of the Hindu is the burial serv-
ices. Should the head of the fami-
ly escape bankruptcy when his
daughter is married the eldest son
is almost sure to be ruined when he
buries his father.-EX.

Poultry.

Stone drinking vessels are cooler
than tin Oues.
A quart of feed for twelve hens
is a good measurement.
Tincture Of iron is good tonic to
give during the hot weather.
Air-slaked lime busted over the
yards is a good preventive of Gapes.
When tie egg shells are thin it is
an indication that the hens need
lime.
Don't forget to chop up dande-
lioDs for the ducks if kept where
they cannot Get grass.
Boiling the milk fed to poultry
will check looseness of the bowels
a common trouble in hot weather
Never give crushed oats to young
chicks without first sitting out the
hulIs. The hulls, either on or off
the kernel. are liable to produce a
stoppage in the crop.
1t does no harm to pick the breed
ing ducks and geese during the
summer, after the breeding season
is over. If let alone, they will shed
their feathers sooner or later.
Poultry that is yarded often fails
to thrive from lack of grit. Ground
shell does not furnish sufficient Pro-
vide sharp gravel or some of the
granulated rock now made and sold
expressly for poultry.
Burn a pound of sulphur in the
roost every month. Drive all the

.c..o,t Sermon By Omer D. Gray.

Omer D. Gray offers the following
condensed sermon in the Columbia
Stateman: If you have little farm
or business, and are out of debt
don't fret or work yourself and wife
to the grave for the sake of making,
money. You have but one life to live
and it is very brief at best. Take a
little pleasure anb comfort as you 90
along day by day and do little good
for others. A morbid, mate longing,
to possess the earth grab everything
in sight, is the foundation to more
misery than any other thing. Live
as you wish to die

What Labor Produces.

In the sweat of the face shalt
thou eat bread; with the exception
of the light and air of heaven no
good thing has been or can be en-
joyed by US without first having
cost us labor. And inasmuch as all
good things have been produced by
labor it follows that such things be-
long to those whose labor has pro-
duced them. But it happened in all
ages of the world that some have
labored while ohterS without labor
have enjoyed a large portion of the
fruits. This is wrong and should not
continue. To secure to each laborer
the whole product of his labor, or as
nearly as possible, is worthy object
of any government. Abraham Lin
