party after the rehearsal, at an elab-
crate three course supper. The brides
table was placed in the center of the
rooms, was to be seen from all the
smaller tables grouped about the
rooms. The table was lovely in its
appointment, cut glass, silver and
pink roses in slender crystal vases
were skilfully arranged. From the
chandelier long streamers of pink
tulle were brought down and tied to
COMFORTS holding pink and white
minis. Dainty hand-painted place

BOYS FIND EIGHTY DIAMONDS
Costly Gsns Had Boon Swept Out
With the Rubblsh When JeweIry
store Was Cleaned.

Ph!ladelphia.-The discovery Of dia-
monds in an ash barrel In front OF
Charles Kranichs jewelry store. 2466
Kensington avenue, raised disturb
ance that suggested the scene Of
lucky strike" In the gold fields OF
Alaska
Mrs. kranich saw number of boys
struggling around the barrel, each en-
deavor!ng to dig his hands into the
contents. These were Joined present
ly by a dozen men, who also entered
the strange scramble. Alarmed, Mrs
Kranich called her daughter, Mrs.
Lloyd Brooks, and her sister-in-law,
Miss Bessie Kranlch, who learned
that the men and boys were digging
for gems in the ash barrel Mrs
Kranich went into the street, and on
looking closer discovered that the
boys had found diamonds that her
husband had procured for his Christ
mas stock.
Soon afterward the boys went into
the store and asked Mrs. Kranich
whether the crystals were valuable
She shrewdly replied that they were
only cheap stones, but II they cared
to go to the trouble Of looking for
more she would pay them a moderate
reward for each one. The ruse was
effective. One by one boys went to
her and returned the stones, some OF
them not asking anything in return.
Meanwhile the Eighteenth district
police heard OF the unusual occur
renee, and Lieutenant Keith dis
patched six policemen in civilians
clothes to endeavor to recover the
diamonds The result of this was
that before night ffty-four Of the
missing stones had been found and re-
turned to their owner; about twenty
were still missing.
When Mr.. Kranich learned Of the
Incident he said that he and two
young men were gathering up rubbish
in the store in the morning, and it
was into this that the diamonds must
have accidentally dropped. Shortly
before cleaning the store, he said he
had taken from his safe a leather case
containing a number of diamonds,
which, he said, he either examined or
else showed to customer. The
stones were sorted, those of each
kind being wrapped separately in It's.
sue paper. Thus the diamonds were
probably not noticeable and dropped
into the rubbish that was being swept
from the store and later dumped into
the ash barrel.

PARTY WILL EXPLORE CAVE
Expect to Clean Up Mystery Placed
About Wonderful Natural Gu
rlosity.

Meeker, Colo-An exploring party
will soon leave Meeker in search of
the disappearing cave" somewhere
up Flag Creek about twenty miles
from here. This cave, of Legendary
fame. while easily visible from the
open plains several miles away, is en-.
closed on three sides by dense
growth of cedars about mile In width,
which only one white man penetrated.
This white man, years ago, made
his way through the dense under
growth that guards the entrance, and
told weird story of the trip. The
cave, mammoth in proportions and
wonderful in formation, he said, seems
to have been used as an Indian rem
devious when the red men controlled
this country. Relies and evidences Of
pow-wows were visible on every hand,
and numerous human bones were ly,
ing about. In one chamber an iron
stake imbedded in the ground, sur
rounded by burnt ends of crumbling
fagots, told a silent story of gruesome
tragedies enacted there.

First Prize Black Cochin,

Of houses and nests of lice and vermln
a liquid spray or paint is probably the
most desirable form Of application.
A splendid lice powder may be made
at a cost of only a few cents a pound
In the following way: Take three
parts of gasoline and one part Of crude
carbOlic acid; mix these together and
add gradually with stirring, enough
plaster of Paris to take up all the
moisture. The liquid and the dry
plaster should be thoroughly mixed
and stirred so that the liquid will be
uniformly distributed through the
mass of plaster. When enough plaster
has been added the resulting mixture
should be a dry, pinkish brown pow.

should be in the fluff around the vent

faction. Take a bird that Is covered
with lice and apply the powder In the
manner just described. After a lapse
of about a minute, shake the bird,
loosening its feathers with the fingers
at the same time, over a clean piece
of paper. Dead and dying lice will
drop on the paper in great numbers.
Anyone who will try this experiment
will have no further doubt of the won
derful efficiency and value Of this
powder.
For a spray or paint to be applied
to rOOsting boards, nest boxes or walls
and floor of the hen houses the follow
Ing preparation is used:-3 parts OF
kerosene and l part crude carbolic
acid. This is stirred up when used
and may be applied with any of the
hand spray pumps or with a brush.
In both of these formulate 1t is highly
important that crude carbolic acid
be used instead of the purified product,
Be sure and insist to the druggist on
getting crude carbolic acid. It Is a
dark brown, dirty looking liquid, and
its value depends on the fact that It
contains tar oil and tar bases in ad.
dition to the pure phenol (carbolic
acid).

PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY
CHIEF Requisites Of Building Are
Oryness, Perfect Ventilation and
Plenty Of Sunlight.
tBy n. r. GILBERT.)

Frequently poultry keepers com.
plain bitterly OF the failure of their
fowls to show profit, when the whole
iault lies in defective housing.
Poultry lead an entirely artificial
life when they live penned In a run,
or even when at liberty and provided
with sleeping ghouse-that is to say
they have their food provided them
and do not sleep in the trees, as their
natural instinct would teach them.
1t is simply the difference between
sleeping in house and sleeping in
trees that upsets them. When they
do tho latter, they may not lay well
but they keep their health. More than
half the diseases modern fowls suffer
are caused primarily by this defective
housing.
The chief requisites OF house are
that 1t should be weather-proof, so
that whatever the inclemency Of the
season, the fowls keep dry. 1t must
be provided with ample ventilation
and should have a sunny aspect.
The sun is life to all animals, and
the more fowls get of 1t, the better.
Yet, sometimes, fowl houses are
placed in dark, secluded corners, and
built to admit hardly any light. A

poultry-house should always, II pos
sible, be placed on ground sloping
slightly away from II, then In the wet
weather the rain drains away. If the
ground is quite level the rain off the
roof shows a tendency to remain In
the form Of puddles.
A trench should be dug to carry 1t
away, or better still, there should be
spout on the roof to carry tho wet
away down to a down spout connected
with a surface drain.
1t Is important that tho ground
around the house, as well as the house
itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do
well on wet land
Special attention should be paid to
the roof. The caves should overlap
some three inches, and it Is all the
better If built Of stouter wood than
the walls.
There is no necessity to cover the
roof with felt, provided it receives a
good dressing of tar at first and a
further coat each year. On no ac-
count make the roof Of corrugated
zinc.
Such n house will be cold in the
winter and hot in the summer. If the
poultry-keeper has some sheets of
this very useful article-for such 1t
certainly is-make roof of thin
boards and put the zinc on top.
For the floor, the earth needs to be
beaten down quite hard and dress
ing of some inches of sand or light
dry earth put on top. If the soil is
clayey, It Is better to have wooden
floor. for 1t must be dry.
In any case. observe scrupulous
cleanliness, removing all droppings
once a week and taking care there Is
never any smell.
Ventilation is n subject better un.
derstood now than formerly. We In.
dulge In more OF It for ourselves and
more for the fowls. Yet for them as
for ourselves, we must not forget that
the thing can be ovordone and that n
good deal depends upon the location
OF the house and the outside tempera-
ture.

IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS
Of Careful Study Of Industry In
State OF Kansas.

Every reader should read circular
III entitled The improvement of the
Farm Egg" issued by the department
Of Agriculture. Washington. d. c.
Among other things this contains the
results OF the careful study made Of
the industry In the state OF Kansas,
where an effort has been made to
bring about an organization of the
egg industry and the cooperation Of
the state authorities for the purpose
of compelling the traders in eggs to
buy on n quality basis only. There Is
no question In our mind but that the
result OF the investigation In Kansas
will be that the case count" system
will bo discarded in the very near fu-
ture and there will be substituted IN
Its place the "loss.of' method OF buy
Ing, says an exchange. When this goes
into force II will be sQuarely up to
the egg producer TO handle his product
80 that when It is marketed II will
be In first class condition. We pre-
diet that there will be a very radical
change in the next few years I'm this
matter and as word to the wise Is
sufficient. II will be enough to again
suggest to our readers that they send

TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
Confronts Chicken Fancler-
Proper Procedure.
By r. c.. 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 single appli-
cation of powder is not sufficient.
When there are lice present on a 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 a second at an
interval OF four days to a week II
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning it may be necessary to make
still a third application. To clean the
