don Not Paved In nth Century.

The oldest pavement of which
there is any record in modern cities
Is that OF Cordova, Spain. which was
paved with stones by the Moors in the
middle of the ninth century. The
Moors caused water to be conveyed
to the city in lead pipes.
Paris was the next city to pave its
streets; but this civic betterment did
not take pace until the year 1884, on
which occasion, says Rigard. the his
torian of Philip H., 1.-The name of the
city was changed from Lutetia which
1t had been previously called on &C
count of its filthiness." Those old
streets must have been very bad in
deed, as it was the general practice of
the citizens to keep swine. which
roamed at large and wallowed in the
mire of the public way.
The streets of London were unpaved
IN the eleventh century; and it is I'M
certain just when the work did be-
gin. Holland was not paved until
1417, though it was frequently impas-
sable from the depth of its mud.

TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
Confronts Chicken Fancler-
Proper Procedure.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
One of the most difficult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
is that of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice,
mites and other external parasites.
In keeping poultry plant free
from lice there are two points Of
attack: One, the birds themselves;
the other, the houses, nest boxes,
roosting boards, etc.
In using any kind of lice powder on
the birds themselves, it should always
be remembered that a single appli-
cation of powder is not sufficient.
When there are lice present on bird
there are always unmatched eggs Of
lice C'nits") present, too. The proper
procedure is to follow up first appli-
cation of powder with second at an
interval of four days to a week. II
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning 1t may be necessary to make
still third application. To clean the
cracks and crevices of the, woodwork

A good lesson In home building may
be learned from the large operators
who make business of building up
whole streets in the suburbs with
houses of medium size for the purpose
OF selling the improved property at
profit, besides increasing the valua-
ton of the remaining vacant property
in the neighborhood These real es-
tate operators have found that 1t pays
them best to give a great deal OF at
tention to the design OF their houses
OF course every house must be sub
stantially built and arranged for prac.
teal convenience and utility; but this
is not enough. Such houses must be

tinctive, individual appearance.
This matter OF distinctive appear
ance is especially important where a
large number of new houses are being
put up at the same time in the same
neighborhood for nothing looks quite
so cheap and uninviting as whole
line of new houses all packed in close
together and all OF the same monoton-
Gus appearance.
While the average home builder
does not have this exact problem TO
contend with, still he should take
warning from such examples and
guard against conditions that may
amount to practically the same thing
If he builds house of commonplace
appearance, one that looks just like a
hundred others which have been built
or may be built in the future, in the
neighborhood, he will find that there
is nothing to distinguish his house
from the rest. 1t will depreciate the
value on that account, for the pros.
pective customer these days invaria
bly, wants house that he can take
pride in.
And in addition to the increased
value of such house at times of sale
there is also more important phase

Gulneas In Winter.

The guinea fowl is native of
warm countries and has a natural fear
OF snow, so in the north when gum
cas- are caught out in a snowstorm
there is a good chance for trouble If
We undertake to force them to walk
through snow to the poultry house.
The guineas will take to flight rath-
er than wade in snow and rather than
light on the ground when covered
with snow they will light in trees, or
II there are no trees they will light
on the tops of buildings.
1t saves trouble to house the gum
cas- as soon as It is apparent that
snow will cpver the ground and keep
them housed until the storm is past.

A Prize Juvenile Grange.

One of the most interesting features
of the recent National Grange session
at Columbus, O., was the exhibition
drill and comforting of degree by the
prize juvenile grange Of Ohio, which
is located at Belmont, o. In charge OF
the matron and her assistants, the
group of little people came on the floor
of the big national session and occu-
pied 1t for nearly an hour, exemplify-
ing the work in way that won the
closest attention from the great audi
ence present. The little people were
all attired in white suits, carried the
respective regalia of their office and
did drills and marches of the most in
tricate sort
Juvenile grange work is an impor-
tant feature of the activities OF the
order in Ohio, and there are many To-
cal branches scattered over the state.
These are In charge of Mrs Dixon, the
the work as part of the Ohio State
grange. Children are received at an
early age, regular ritualistic work is
carried out at each juvenile meeting,
business is done and degrees con-
ferred, while a helpful program is al
ways arranged by the matron in
charge AS soon as the juveniles reach
the age of fourteen years they "gradu-
ate" into the regular grange. The ad-
vocates of juvenile work are very en-
thusiastic over its prospects, and in
this branch of grange work Ohio leads
all the states.
