Seeing the Editor.
An interesting story is related by
Colonel Dennison in the volume “Sol
diering In Canada” concerning the late
Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, who was a
famous fighter. The colonel says: “My
wife and I were in Hyde park one day
when Sir Henry came over and asked
how she liked his horse. She said very
much, and I gave my opinion that it
was about the finest horse I had seen
on the row that day. He then told us
an anecdote about the horse. He said
he had ridden into Darlington, which
was close to his country seat, and he
sent a boy up to the editor of the news
paper asking him to come down to the
street to speak to him for a few min
utes, as he could not leave his horse.
The editor was too busy to come down
and Sir Henry went to him. He rode
up two flights of stairs into the editor'?
room, spoke to him from the horse’s
back, rode round hiS tabic and back
again and then made his way out into
the street. He said the horse tumbled
things about a good bit. and the editor
danced out of his way. ‘But,’ added
Sir Henry, ‘now the editor comes down
to me if 1 go to see him mourned.’ ”
HOME COMFORTS.
Climbing Animals.
Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs, instinctively distrusting
the upper stories. It has been conjec
tured that this is because the dog’s
forelegs break easily below the shoul
der, and the beast seems to realize this.
The fox has no such fear and lias been
known to climb a tree with plenty of
small limbs to the height of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing to most animals as well as to
many races of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at
all.
Bears can climb well if little, but the
grizzly and other large species stay
maiuly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down a tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground, when she turns
and jumps, but most wild cats run
down a trunk head first, even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion, however, do not climb, for no
discoverable reason unless it be that
they fear falling on account of their
weight.
Modificaiions of Iron.
Add carbon to pure iron, and it be
comes steed. Add a hydrocarbon to
iron, and steel itself becomes so ex
tensively modified that its properties
are not recognizable. Thus steel may
be soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in
varying quantity, and it has the quail
iy of resilience, as in the watch spring,
or the quality of tenacity, as in the
knife or razor, or may be given nearly
all the hardness of a diamond, as in a
file. With steel at a low temperature,
from 400 to 450 degrees F., edge tools
are produced and color in the yellow
shades; from 500 to 525 degrees various
sorts of springs are produced, color
blue, while by beating iron to white
ness and plunging it into water, which
is mainly composed of hydrogen, files
are produced or forms even harder.
Ice In the Sickroom.
A medical journal tells how a saucer
ful of shaved ice may be kept in a
sickroom through a day and night if
need be, even with a fire in the room.
Put the saucer holding the ice in a
soup plate and cover it with another.
Then place the soup plates thus arrang
ed on a good, heavy pillow and cover
with another pillow, pressing the pil
lows so that the plates are completely
imbedded in them. The paragraph adds
that one of the best ice shavers is an
old jack plane set deep. It shouid be
turned bottom upward and (he ice
moved backward and forward over the
cutter.
To Forget.
Feeble natures live in their sorrows
instead of converting them into apo
thegms of experience. They are satu
rated with them, and they consume
themselves by singing back each day
into the misfortunes of the past To
forget is the great secret of strong and
creative existence, to forget after the
manner of nature, which knows no
past and begins again every hour the
mysteries of her indefatigable produc
tiveness.—Balzac.

What May Be Done Willi Poaltry on
the Farm, Large or Sara!
There are many home comforts that
can be had with little extra care. All
suc-h delicate surroundings help to
make our lives more pleasant, and in
addition to this, it lifts us above the
everyday common routine that is so
very laborious. The man or woman or
family who simply spend their time in
following the plow or milking the cow
or in work about the barn or iu butter
making or kindred occupations about
the farm and who depend upon pork
and potatoes with coffee and bread as
their daily rations are simply one step
outside of close confinement.
Among our most prosperous farmers
the mode of living has its refining in
fluences. This is not of necessity a be
longing that must be confined to those
who have wealth. All can have the
same surroundings to a limited extent.
It will not cost as much to have a lot
of hens well kept and eared for as it
does to keep the hogs that make your
pork, and surely the profit from the
well kept hens is greater than ear, be
gained from the hogs, and the meat of
the hen and her eggs are far more
healthful for all than so much pork
and fat.
Nothing brings the ready money to
the home like the product of the hen.
Eggs are spot cash at all times; so is
the well fed f»wl or young chicken.
The keeping of a few turkeys is a
simple matter that brings much pleas
ure as well as profit in return for the
care bestowed. The eggs of the tur
key hen c-an be placed under our chick
en hens that will often hatch and care
for them better than the turkey hen.
These turkey eggs can be bought if
turkey hens are not kept, and thus a
few fat turkeys are at hand all the
winter for a Sunday or holiday feast
for the family, adding as it does a
pleasant attraction to the home, be
sides making us proud of our home
comforts.
It is quite as easy to raise turkeys as
to raise young chickens; if a few sim
ple rules are followed they give but lit
tle trouble. First of all, never ketfp the
young poults or turkeys where they
must run with the young chicks. Keep
them separate and feed them alone.
Never allow them to run or live togeth
er when young. For some reason they
will not do well together. You must
keep the young turkeys absolutely free
from lice. Lice and damp are most de
structive to young turkeys. When kept
perfectly free from lice and dampness
rftnd alone, it is a very simple task to
grow them very fast.
In addition to these place some duck
and geese eggs under your hens so as to
have a few of these birds for your win
ter easing. It is a very simple task to
handle a few ducks and geese. When
hatched, keep them alone, not with oth
er fowls, till three or four weeks old,
when they can be allowed to go at will.
They must have protection from the
wet and damp till well started to grow.
After they are well started and strong
they can be allowed to run at will.
Ducks will not injure any crops, but
geese will eat and often destroy any
growing plants or vegetables that a
cow will eat. A few will do but very
little damage, and for this reason would
advise the purchase of the eggs so as
simply to have a few for winter use
and never keep old geese unless pre
pared for their keeping.
Many who have an old loft in an out
building could keep a few pigeons for
squabs. A dozen pairs of pigeons will
provide at least two splendid meals for
your family each mouth from the
squabs they will raise. Nothing is more
attractive than an old fashioned baked
pie made of squabs. They are also
beautiful to broil or bake or smother in
the oven, and for the Sunday noon meal
when we gather to enjoy the only quiet
meal of the week such little delicacies
are most attractive. All these little ad
ditions to our family comfort help to
make our Come the most attractive spot
on earth.—Feather.
The fertilizer ap
plied, must furnish
enough Potash, or the

ducing power.

TO PHILIPPINES THEY GO.
Troops of 27th Infantry Left for San
Francisco Yesterday.
Atlanta, Dec. 9.—A repetition of the
scenes of the late war was seen at the
ion depot yesterday afternoon when
the soldiers of the Twenty-seventh in
fantry left over the Western and At
lantic for San Francisco, from which
point they will sail for the Philip
pines.
The troops left at 5:15 o’clock in
two trairs closely follov/ing one an
other. The two trains carried all the
equipment of the battalion and will
run through to St. Louis, where the
troops will be delivered to a transcon
tinental connection for the remainder
of the journey.
The Twenty-seventh was largely re
cruited in Atlanta. Though few of
the men came from this section of the
country, they were sent here in small
squads and almost the whole military
experience of the regiment was ac
quired at Fort McPherson. The other
two battalions were sent to the Phil
ippines some time ago and are now
doing service there.

NEGRO CRIMINALS CAUGHT.
The National B’rtl.
What I now plead for are large bon
ed, well marked turkeys of reasonable
weights for exhibition purposes, but
do not demand of us the overfat exhi
bition birds for breeders, for if you do
you will be disappointed in the fertility
of eggs and the vitality of the stock
hatched therefrom. If we were all
fanciers, we might contend for the ex
cessive weights, as it would not be
necessary to raise so many turkeys if
only the fancier were interested, but
the turkey is the national bird for the
festive board, and the American people
call every year for a greater and great
er supply. Few’ demand a forty pound
turkey, while millions use the lighter
weights for table purposes; hence I
claim that even the fancier should be
practical in his ideas, for the masses
look to him as a teacher on these sub
jects.—Mrs. Bettie Glover Mackey In
Reliable Poultry Journal.

Assault and Murder.
Jesup, Ga., Dec. 9.—Leighton Hog’n-
smith. constable of Waynesvilie dis
trict, Wayne county, arrested and
brought into Jesup last night the ne
gro Henry Williams and his accom
plice, Henry Wilson, who attempted
an assault upon a white girl on the
new railroad from Jesup to Folkston
last Monday.
They made a clean breast of the
whole crime, and said Wilson was to
watch while Williams made the as
sault, then he was to kill the grand
mother i f the girl and rob the house.
Williams was arrested at Waynesvilie
and Wilson on the new railroad this
side of Folkston.
Feeling ran high at first, but since
his arrest and confinement in jail it
is not thought there is any probability
of a lynching.
