50 YEARS’
EXPERIENCE
American Chickens in KnglaiuE.
To the many American commodities
with which England is supplied there
is now to be added the United States
chicken, in which already an enormous
import trade is being dene. As yet the
industry is, comparatively speaking, in
its early youth, but so great has been
the demand that one firm alone is al
ready sending 150,000 dozen birds year
ly to this country, and the trade is in
creasing.
A Daily Mail representative who
made inquiries in the Central and
Leadcuhall markets was Informed that
the American chickens were doing well
in England mainly because tlie birds
were of good quality and, furthermore,
for the reason that they were packed in
a handy way for the buyer. It was
also pointed cut that the many advan
tages offered by the American railways
for the conveyance of live birds from
the breeding places to Chicago resulted
in the poultry arriving at the slaughter
place in prime condition. When fro
zen, they are packed in cases of one
dozen each and sent right on to Lon
don.
The view is very general among Im
porters that the American chicken will
not compete to any extent with the
English product, but with the Russian
fowl, which is already finding a dan
gerous rival in the United States bird.
In proof of this there Is the assurance
of one firm that yearly imports im
mense quantities or Russian poultry to
England that next year great improve
ments in feeding, selection and packing
are to be made in the Russian trade.
Meanwhile the consume! will wonder
why no one has ever seen a chicken
labeled either “Russian” or “Ameri
can,” and the inference must be that
both are .sold for whatever the custom
er may like to think them.—London
Mail.
Thin Out la September.
Thin out the old fowls now to make
room for the youngsters in September,
says A. F. Hunter. At this season
there is always a good heme market
for fowls, because of the many sum
mer visitors to the country, and we
should take advantage of this demand
to work off the old and unprofitable
birds. Save a few of the best ones for
next year's breeders, and market the
rest of them.

Lots to Learn Yet.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, nor is a
poultryman made in a single season,
says Iowa Homestead. The best of
them still have a good deal to learn
and are entirely ready to admit it, and
it is no shame to the beginner if he
makes a good many mistakes. The
thing to do is to persist in spite of
them and be careful, attentive and stu
dious in mastering poultry problems.

CURING THE BLUES.
Jnst Try Taming Up ths Corners of
V«ur Month.
A well known doctor of Minneapolis
who has made a specialty of nervous
diseases has found a new remedy for
the “blues.” As no drugs are admin
istered, he has felt safe in experiment
ing with at least a half hundred melan
choly patients and now declares him
self thoroughly satisfied with the good
results of his treatment. His prescrip
tion reads something like this: “If you
keep the corners of your mouth turned
up, you can’t feel blue.” The direc
tions for taking are, “Smile, keep on
smiling, don’t stop smiling.” It sounds
ridiculous, doesn’t it? Well, just try
turning up the corners of your mouth,
regardless of your mood, and see how
it makes you feel. Then draw the cor
ners of your mouth uowu and note the
effect, and you will be willing to de
clare “there’s something in it.”
The doctor treats his nervous pa-
tieuts to medicine when necessary,
but when the case is one of pure mel
ancholy, without bodily ill, he simply
recommends the smile cure. He has
the patient remain in his office and
smile. If it isn’t the genuine nrtiel*. i
must at least be an upward curvature
of the corners of the mouth, and tb*
better feellfigs follow inevitably. The
treatments are followed up rcgeiurly.
and the patients all testify to *helr
good effect. It takes considerable per
suasion to induce some ci them to ap
ply the cure, and of course the greater
number of patieuts are women, for
when a man is blue be is bound to be
blue iu spite of everything, but n wom
an is more easily persuaded to try to
find a cure.
The doctor deciarc-s that if persons
will only draw down the corners of
their mouths and use sufficient will
power they can actually shed tears.
On the other hand, if they will persist
ently keep the corners of the mouth
turned up pleasant thoughts will chase
away the gloomy forebodings. His
discovery grew out of au experience in
his own home. His wife was of a nerv
ous and rather morbid temperament,
and when in a despondent mood he
would ask her to “smile a little” until
the saying came to be a household
joke. But it brought about good re
sults, and then came the inspiration to
try the same cure on others.
The doctor has not patented his rem
edy, and it is free to ail who choose to
take advantage of it. — Minneapolis
Journal.
A Case Wile re It VVns More Reliable
Than a Sailor’s Optic.
Mr. N. Chevalier, the well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
of Edinburgh ou many of his travels, .
was ouce going from Duueuin to j
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer, j
Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse i
of the const he went on deck at dawn 1
and was alarmed to see that the vessel j
was heading straight on to the land. |
Calling the officer’s attention to the !
fact, i;e was told that it was only a |
fog bank. The artist maintained his j
point, but the second officer looked :
and confirmed his mate.
The artist then said: “Weil, gentle
men, I will back my artist’s eye
agaiust your sailor’s eye, and I say
that what you mistake for a fog bank
is a low range of hills, and there is a
range of mountains appearing above
them.”
But he was only laughed at, until
the captain coming ou deck found in
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The ves
sel was out of its course, and there
was only just time to avert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed iu dis
grace and the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessel’s head still
pointed landward—the compass was all
wrong.
The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveler had brought a box
of magnets on board and deposited
them in a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal deflection cf
the compass.
To return to the question of inter
pretation, the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter
pret. A speck on the horizon might
have remained a mere speck to him
long after the sailors had interpreted
the speck into a vessel of definite rig.
There can be little doubt that the
trained eye is. accompanied by a sort
cf mental seeing, au iustiuet outrun
ning optics.
Peculiarities of Footpaths.
Footpaths are what roads are not,
natural productions, just as the paths
made by hares, deer and elephants are.
No one really makes a footpath—that
is, no one improves it. What is true of
central Africa is true of England.
“The native paths,” wrote Professor
Drummond, “are the same in character
all over Africa. Like the roads of the
c!d Romans, they run straight on
through everything—ridge and moun
tain and valley—never shying at ob
stacles nor anywhere turning aside to
breathe. Yet within this general
straightforwardness there is a singu
lar eccentricity and indirectness iu de
tail. Although the African footpath
is, on the whole, a bee line, no fifty
yards of it are ever straight. And the
reason is not far to seek.
“If a stone is encountered, no na
tive will ever think of removing it.
Why should he? It is easier to walk
around it. The next man who comes
L;y will do the same. lie knows that a
hundred men are following him. lie
looks at the stone a moment, and it
might be unearthed anu tossed aside;
but, no, he holds on his way. It would
no more occur to him that that stone
is a displaceable object than that fel
spar belougs to the erthoclase variety.
Generations and generations of men
have passed that stone, and it still
waits for a man with an altruistic
idea.”—Spectator.

THE CHICKEN YARD.
The Flight of the Stork.
The sork is a remarkably pictur
esque bird. Its snowy body contrasting
with the bright red beak and legs and
black quill feathers of the wings make
it a striking object The flight is mag
nificent, bolder and more buoyant than
that of a heron. Like most large birds,
its powers of flight show best when
It is at a great height. When we were
on the Bastei rock, in Saxon Switzer
land, a pair passed overhead, flying
southward. Though high above us,
we could clearly see the black pinion
feathers, and as we watched the
powerful beat of the wide spreading
wings we thought of the augeis iu
Zeehariah’s vision who had “wings
like the stork.”—Chambers’ Journal.
No henhouse that is frequently dust
ed with lime will be infested with lice.
Lime purifies the quarters aud dries
them. It is cheap and Should be used
plentifully.
Always have the nests so low that
the lieus can step In rather than be
obliged to jump down.
If ihe fowls get too fat. oats as a sin
gle food are one of the best grains that
can be given to lessen fat.
Mating birds to breed to a feather is
a high art, to.be acquired only by long
practice, aided by close study.
A flat perch is best because of being
the most comfortable to the feet and
the best support to tbe breast.
There are three breeds of fowls that
are pre-eminently valuable as egg pro
ducers. These are the Minorcas, Leg
horns and Black Spanish.
A medium sized active male is twice
as valuable as one that is large and
extra heavy. If large size and weight
are desired, seiec-t large liens, but the
male should be active and vigorous.
When a fowl lias canker and the
mouth and throat are sore and ulcer
ated, wrap a soft rag around a lead
pencil, dampen it slightly, dip in chlo
rate of potash aud swab out the mouth
clean and inject a drop of turpentine.
The Rt^ht Aral aud Left Foot.
The right arm is always a little lar
ger than the left, but the left foot is
almost always larger than the right,
presumably because while nearly every
man uses his right arm to lift a weight
or strike a blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands on his left leg and lets
his right fall easily, because he has
learned by experience that this is the
best attitude lie can assume to prevent
lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than
the right, and it often happens that a
man who tries on a shoe on the right
foot and gets a close fit has to discard
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness of the left. If when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice, you will see that in laced
shoes the gap is much smaller on the
right foot than on the left, while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times on the left shoe to
once on the right.

The Adornment ot an Arab Girl.
Arab girls before they enter the
harem and take the veil are a curious
sight to behold. Their bodies and
face are dyed a bright yellow with
turmeric. On this ground they paint
black lines with antimony over their
eyes. The fashionable color for tbe
nose is red, green spots adorn the
cheeks, and the general aspect is gro
tesque beyond description.—“Southern
Arabia,” by Mr. and Mrs. T. Bent.
What Conics After Suicide?
On the whole, it is something of a
pity that some of these fellows who cut
their throats, blow out their brains or
swallow poisons in order to rid them
selves of their troubles cannot come
back, so they might tell others who are
troubled whether relief lies in that di
rection or net. It is more than proba
ble that what they then could toll
would deter other reckless men and
women from following in their foot
steps, and for that, if for no other rea
son, their return would be welcome.
As Hamlet Implied, it is better to bear
the ills we know than to fly to those
we know not of, and there isn’t much
doubt that the suicides are not long in
finding that out—Philadelphia Inquir
er.
A Tussle With English.
The pitfalls of the English tongue to
a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom
an who has undertaken housekeeping
in New York thought she had a good
working knowledge of tbe language,
but scon discovered her mistake.
One day she called a carpenter and
planned with him to have some work
done about the house in the way of
putting up shelves, etc., and she went
over tlie ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an estimate
of what it would cost.
After the work was done the bill sub
mitted was considerably in excess of
the sum first named. The Frenchwom
an endeavored to remonstrate, but only
succeeded in making the following re
markable statement to him:
“You are more dear to me than when
we were first engaged.” — New York

Cologne Cathedral.
One would think that the identity
of the architect of such a superbly de

dral could not possibly be lost to the
world. But it 13. The cathedral took
centuries to build, and many architects

The Ivory Nat.
The vegetable ivory nut of commerce
is the albuminous seed found in tbe
drupes of a dwarf palm. From these
nuts European turners fashion the
reels of spindles, small boxes and
many other little fancy articles, which
can be colored with sulphuric acid.—
Chambers’ Journal.
The Peach Legend.
Almost all fruits and flowers have
their legend. One about the peach
comes from Japan and tells how a poor,
pious old couple were searching for
food by the roadside. The woman
found a peach, which she would not
eat of, though starving, till she could
share it with her husband. He cut It
exactly iu half, when an infant leaped
forth. It was one of the gods, who had,
he said, accidentally fallen om of the
peach orchard of heaven while playing.
He told them to plant the stone -of the
peach, and It brought them happiness,
friends and wealth.
Aln-.ocds.
The world's almond crop, exclusive
cf those raised iu California and the
west, comes from Italy, Sicily, Ma
jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo
rocco and Algiers. The highly prized
Jordan almonds come from Malaga,
Spain, and not from the .Jordan river,
as many people suppose. The common
almond is the most indigestible of all
the nuts aud contains very little nour
ishment. There are many ways, how
ever, in which it is advantageously
used as a desert or as a flavoring.
One peculiarity about the alinoud tree
is that its leaves contain prussic acid
aud are therefore poisonous, while the
fruit may be eaten with impunity.
Hotv a Plant Protects Itself.
One little plant of South Africa pro
tects itself by assuming a curious like
ness to a white lichen that covers the
rocks. The plant has sharp pointed
green leaves. These are placed close
together, with their points upward,
and on the tip of each leaf is a little
white, scaly sheath. The resemblance
of the smooth surface these present to
the lichen growing on the rocks, be
side which it is always found. Is so
great that it Is not till you tread on
it that you discover the deception.—
