of Thomas Wentworth Higginson" is

Whittier. Dark, slender, bald, black
haired, kind, calm. flashing eyed, keen,
somewhat narrow, not commanding.
but interesting. Evidently injured by
politics, easily content with limited
views, yet sympathetic and (probably)
generous. Lives in an appropriate cot

pound of Yankee Quaker and Yankee
hero and Yankee poet, the nationality
everywhere. He would whittle, NO
doubt. But his eye cleaned with p
soft, beautiful tenderness as he came
to the door and remarked on the cold
sunset sky. He lives with an odd.

|; conjunctivitis In Hens.
Hens are subject to inflammation of
the lining membrane of the eyes. or
,onjunctiyitis. and this may result from
exposure to dampness and cold. to irri-
tating dust or vapors. or to contagion.
It is best to remove affected hens from
the flock that the disease may not
spread to others through contact. and
If it is desired to treat the hens they
may have few drops Of the following
solution placed in each eye once or
twice daily: Boric acid. ten grains; sui

An; Iron Coat.

Plating iron with iron or steel with
ironSis queer new scheme for delay
ing rusting. Chemically pure. iron is
nearly rustproof; so the plating idea Is
to cover iron or steel with iron that
is as chemically pure as possible. Plat
Ihgnin much the same way that brass
issplated with gold or nickel gives q
coat that Is very close to pure iron. A
coat OF zinc over the coat of iron also
helps. iEst: t$s};33zss r IL ss
Rust is the bftterest and most per-
sistent enemy Of this age Of steel,
with its bridges and wires and sky
scrapers and machines. The ancient
Hindus had secret method of max.
ing .rustproof iron. and much iron is
now manufactured for special uses at
comparatively high cost which is rea-
sonably free from impurities and SO
less likely to give way to rust, but the
inventor Of completely rustproof, cheap
iron has vast fortune awaiting him.
