ft*e JUliana Mildred Beryl Brown, Editress. [This department is set aside for the ladies. Hid while they are urged to avale themselves of fee opportunity of communing one with another feey should remember that space is limited and feat in the brevity of their letttcrs depends the variety] oust HOMES. This new department for the wives »nd daughters of the Alliance is to be their newspaper home. All that interests them interests us. We do not propose to dis ouss household matters alone, but want our sisters to write their ideas of homo training, home-improvement and home pleasures. If by word or thought, or by years of labor, we can make the rurtl homes of the South happier, can lighten the burdens of housewives, or make these homes more pleasant and attractive for our boys and girls, we will feel that wa have not lived in vain. It shall be the pr ivince, the pleasure and the chief ambition of the editress of this department to do all in her power toward the furtherance of these noble ends. To this work we cordially, yes, earn estly, invoke the pens, the hearts and the prayers of overy mother and every daugh ter in this sunny laud who wants to see the homes of our people made happier, brighter, more attractive and more pros porous. It is a common practice with our farm er’s wives to unconciously neglect, or on the other hand, maltreat their little chicks that are brought off during the rainy, chilly, winter days, now at hand. To begin with, the hen should not be given more than a dozen eggs and they should be carefully selected—the largest and freshest you have on hand. When the period of incubation is over and the downy, tender little things peep out, a row of bright little eyes round the mother hen’s breast, don’t put them under a dark, damp box in some windswept open spot, and don’t, for pity’s sake, send a servant or a child out there once or twice a day to pitch a lump of raw corn meal dough at the box and turn and run to the house again. They eat it, yes and a great many Chickens in all this country are raised in this shiftless, slipshod man ner every year I know, but still thous ands die when hundreds pull through. Dough is indigestible, it sours in the craw, and is the taproot that nourishes a multitude of ills in the poultry world. Put your little chicks with their mother in some sunny, sheltered nook where it is also bone dry, if possible, and then every day cook your dough thoroughly into thick loaves of wholesome bread, and crumble it to them. I think if you keep shorts or wheat bran for your horse or cow it would be a good idea to steal a little of it aud mix with your corn meal. It makes it taste better. I also give my chicks occasional meals of cheap beef, liver, lights, etc. It gives them a won derful appetite and relish for their other food. In winter you see, they can’t get the grasshoppers, bugs and worms, that makes them grow off so nicely in the spring. As for laying hens, if you have no oat or rye patch close by the house, why do like a friend of mine does, resort to the thieving practice again. Go to the barn, abstract a peck or so of oats (’twill never bo missed, if you don’t blab it) and bribe some small boy about the premises to spade a rich corner of tho yard while you serenely sow tho pilfered grain. There your hens will scratch by the hour aud this gives them exercise that they actually need, to keep them in good , laying condition and may be they would not take it otherwise. If you have ever noticed the hen that sits about and don’t spend any time scratching also fails to spend any laying eggs. It’s the thrifty scratclicr that lays the most eggs and raises the largest brood of chicks. If you cannot provide your lions with oyster shells, and sow country people away from the coast can, why just gather up the dry bones that bleach on the old fields and hillsides in many places, and pound them to pieces with a hammer. Your hens will devour it greedily and will lay more eggs and larger eggs than otherwise they would do, and also keep in much better general health. Oats are a stimulating food. Green oat patches about the premises will be found a re markable auxiliary in the production of eggs if the hens are allowed to run on them. If your hens are treated as you should treat them, they will lay eggs as naturally as the flowers bloom. LaFloclie, seven to tho pound, 130 per annum. Black Spanish, seven to the pound, 150 per annum. Dominiques, nine to the pound, 130 per annum. Game fowls, nine to the pound, ISOpcr annum. Creve Occurs, seven to the pound, 150 per annum. Legliorus, nine to the pound, 150 to 200 per annum. Hamburgs, nine to the pound, 175 per annum. Polish, nine to the pound, 150 per an num. Bantams, sixteen to the pound, sixty per annum. Turkeys, five to the pound, thirty to sixty per annum, v Ducks, live to six to the pound, thirty to sixty per annum. Geese, four to.the pound, twenty per annum. Guinea fowls, eleven to the pound, sixty per annum. The eggs of the modern improved breeds of fowls have gained ono-third in weight, as compared with eggs formerly laid. The following statement of the weight and yield of eggs of the different promi nent breeds of fowls is from an exhaust ive tabular statement by Mr. L. P. Sim monds, wiu'o is considered standard au thority on poultry statistics: Light Brahmas and Partridge Cochins, eggs, seven to the pound; they lay eighty to one hundred per annum, or even more according so treatment and keeping. Dark Brahmas, eight to the pound and about seventy per annum. Black, White and Buff Cochins, eight to the pound, 100 or less per annum. Plymouth Rocks, eight to the pound, 10# per annum. Houdans, eight to the pound, 150 per annum. The wheat crop may be short a million bushels or so but there is enough for the people aud some to spare for the poultry. If you have a nice flock of early pullets let thorn have a daily feed of it and don’t be stingy with it either. Keep a bottle of castor oil constantly on hand. It is the best remedy to begin in any case of ailment. The slow moulting hen is not always the best one. Generally they are the ones never in gcod health during the win ter. Wliat Our Women are Doing. A DISTINGUISHED ENGLISHWOMAN. It has been the fortune of a few women to achieve th i success Miss Amelia Ed wards has won for herself in two such widely different lines of work as novel writing and Egyptian exploration, for in each of these fields the lady, who arriyed in New York a few days ago, has gained high distinction. Her visit has been looked forward to with pleasure, and her lectures are awaited with pleasant an ticipations. The daughter of an English officer, Miss Edwards early showed a taste for art aud letters, and while yet little more than a girl (1853), by contributing some papers to the periodicals of the day, whioh immediately obtained for her fa vorable recognition. When she was 24 her first ncvel appeared (1855), and this was followed at not infrequent intervals during the next tweufy years by many others, all of which wero well received by the reading public on both sides of tho Atlantic. But it was not alone to fiction that Miss Edwards devoted her titae during this period. Poems, historical works, and books for the young were published by her during these years, and she continu ed to be an indefatigable writer for the press, her contributions covering an ex tensive range of subjects, from obituary sketches to political leaders, and from archieological notes to dramatic criti cism. j In 1874 and 1875 Miss Edwards with a party of friends made an extended jour ney through the country of the Nile, of which a pleasant record was subsequently printed by her under the title of “A Thousand Miles up the Nile.” This trip aroused in her a profound interest in the wonders of Egyptian antiquities, and was the immediate cause of her entering upon those archieological studies which have made her one of the eminent Egyptolo gists of the age. It was duo chiefly to her exertions on her return from this joun ey to England that the Egyptian Exploration Society was founded, of which since its organization she has been one of the honorary secretaries. For her original researches in tliis department of science she has received the degree of Ph. D., LL. D., honors rarely bestowed upon one of her sex. Besides her connection with the Egyp tian Exploration fund, Miss Edwards is a member of the Biblical Archieological Society and of the society for the promo tion of Hellenic Studies, and is Vice- President of the (British) National Soci ety for Woman’s Suffrage.—The Book Buyer. MADAM I’OMMEIIV AND HER CHAMPAGNE. Mmc. Pommery, owner of the Pom mery-Greno champagne,is now about sev enty years old, and she still watches over her wine interest with the greatest care. Her delight is to spend her money in good works, and the city of Rheims, whore she lives, is the recipient of great liberality. It is worth a visit to Rheims to see the Pommery cellars; they are hewn out of chalk and are made like a subterranean city, with streets and squares, and contain people and animals. Over these cellars Mme. Pommery has built a palace, but in this palace she never lives. Mme. Pommery spends her winters at the house at Rheims, where all her offices, and where Prince vori Ho- # henlohe took refuge in 1870. In the sum mer she goes to her castle of Chigny, a magnificent place, designed by herself. This contains superb works of art, and French painters and sculptors have in Mme. Pommery a beneficent patron. Her daughter is the Duchess de Po lignac. AN INGEHSOI.L MARRIAGE. Ono of Col. Ingersoll’s two beautiful daughters has changed her name. She was married recently to Mr. Walston H. Brown, senior membor of a banking firm in Nassau street. The ceremony took place at Col. Ingersoll’s residence, in Fifth avenue. It is, perhaps, needless to say that it was not a religions ceremony in any sense, Judge Barrett, of the su premo court, who is one of Col. Inger soll’s most intimate friends, performed it. A few other intimate friends were prosent, but hardly a dozen in all. There was very littlo to say or to do, nothing SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FARMER ATI .ANT A GA., NOVEMBER 29, 1889. at £.ll, in fact, but to ask the bride and bridegroom a few questions and then de clare them man and wife. Jndgo Barrett did this very gracefully, but it took hardly any time, and the marriage was over in a jiffy. The pretty bride had no regret for the absence of more elaborate ceremony. Both she and her sister are with their father heart and soul in dis belief in religious forms of any kind. It is said that Col. Ingersoll has never attempted to iaflaence his daughters in the smallest degree, on religious ques tions. They should do just as they please, even go to church if they so de sired. Their minds were to be as free as his own. It appears that they have done as they pleased, and they certainly have not gone to church. They believe just as little in churches as their father, and they believe more in him than the whole world besides. His judgment to them is better than any other, and his words are the wisest that can be spoken. It would be difficult if not impossible to find a more united and affectionate little family than Col. Ingersoll’s, notwithstanding the total absence of religious sentiment or spirit. The perfect serenity and joyoussess of the little circle in this respect has been commented on by all who have had oppor tunities to observe it. Mss. Sarah M. G., Albany, Ga.—lam delighted to know that our Alliance edi tor lias decided to give us women a corner to ourselves. Other papers have done this and why should not ours? It always does us good to get together and as Horace Greeley said, “free our minds.” We love to talk even when we can’t hear the sound of our voices. Then it is so nice to swap experiences. You can tell me how to make nice raised doughnuts, can’t you? If you can I will be glad to tell you of any nice receipts that I have tried and found good. As winter is com ing on, I think maybe it would be a good idea to give you one little dot about ap ple jelly. If you didn’t make any during the summer, this hint may be of value to you, if you use evaporated apples. Whenever you put on some to stew, put in a generous supply of water, cover the stewpan, your apples will be done in a few moments. Drain off the water, meas. ure, add one cup of sugar to each cup of water. Strain and cook in shallow pans. In this way I make a cupful or two every time I stew apples in the winter, and always have on hand a few molds of clear, beautiful applo jelly. Miss F. T. 8., Thomaston, Ga.—Dear Mrs. Brown: You offer us the privilege of writing fer your department. lam glad you have let us into the charmed circle. Although the Alliance takes women into its lodges, I had almost come to believe that they were to be excluded from its pappr. Now, the first favor I want to *»ky-of yon is, that you giro me recipes for making sweet pickles of ap ples and apple jelly, and also some sug gestions as to how I can keep ray sixteen year-old brother at home on Sunday af ternoons aud rainy days. He is not a wicked boy, and he does not drink or dissipate, but when he cannot work he seems to be unhappy and as resties as a caged animal. I suppose this is enough to ask the first time. —We will answer these questions in our next week’s paper. [Editress. she has earned $3,000,000. Patti, the divine singer, receives the largest wages ever paid to an artist, hu man or divine. She is paid $3,500 every night she sings in the Albert Hall, in London. Even with this and the expen diture of $5,000 for each concert her man agers are able to show a profit of from $2,000 to $3,000 per night. Patti has earned by her own exertions more money than any five women that ever lived on the face of this earth. Her receipts since she began singing in public, twenty-five years ago, cannot be much short of $3,- 000,000, and she has several years of profitable farewelling ahead of her. Rose Hartwick Thorpe wrote “Curfew Must Not Ring To-night” when she was under 17. She is now 39. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is slowly recovering from her recent accident. Sheiß not yet allowed to see visitors. Mrs, Cleveland’s wedding present to Mrs. Bayard was a beautiful Pompeiian vaße. All the families of the Cleveland Cabinet sent gifts to the bride.. FOR WHAT THEY ARE WORTH. In no case where an American girl has sold herself to a foreign prince to gratify a silly ambition to carry a title has she been received as anything but an advent uress, and that is sizing them up just right. No decent society should tolerate them. The Dowager Empress of China takes a great interest in the development of the Celestial Kingdom, and spends a great deal of time in consultation with railroad projectors. Miss Jennie Flood, daughter of the bo nanza king, is tho richest unmarried wo man in California, and spends a great deal of her time in looking after the con dition of the poor. Patti is said by Rdmund Yates to grow more greedy year by year and to care ! nothing whether a manager is ruined or | not so long as she is paid her enormous price. She probably feels the necessity of being thrifty against the day when her notes will be rejected. -4-OSBORN & WOLCOTT*- Manufacturers and Dealers in all kinds of Carriages* B-mg'gles cSc’Wagrozi FINE VEHICLES MADE TO SPECIAL ORDER.

Deafness Can’t be Cured by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by ?a inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you liavo a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucus surfaces.
