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. Colton Growers Proticliye Association.

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. MONEY SAVED. -DEALER IX- AUtiS 942 Broad St. h 'urmture, AUGUSTA. GA.

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 Sun.

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.— Fortnightly Review. to keep “I have The most disastrous times have pro duced the greatest minds.
