AGRICULTURE. KF.KP PURE-BREED FOWLS.—Aside from the greater pleasure which it affords, it pays better to keep and breed pure-bred fowls than to breed and feed a lot of mongrels, which latter many do for fear of the expense of buying a lew pure-bred fowls to start with. In determining which breed of fowls to get, make up your mind at the start that no one breed can or does possess all the desirable qualities you are in search of. If you wish a breed for lay ing, get Leghorns or Hamburgers; il you wish a breed lor weight, get some of the Brabamß or Cochiueg and if you wish a breed principally for ornament, get the Polish : but give up the idea ot getting a grand combination of all these qualities in one breed. Make up your mind what you wish, in the way of fowls and then select such breeds as will answer those requirements best. Give them goou, comfortable quarters, supply them liberally with lood anu water, giving them requisite care and attention and you will never have cause to regret your iuvestment in pure-bred lowis. When your neigh bors see what line birds you have,they w ill naturally want some of them, or a setting of the eggs, and thus will a demanu be created which will amply repay your lirsioutlay of cash and sub sequent trouble aud expense, if you had bred nothing but mongrels, there would have been little or no demand, and then merely a market prices* At good trio ol pure-bied lowls, of almost any kind, can uowjte bought at fair figures Horn reliable breeders, In most sections ol the country. DOMESTICATING QUAILS.— That the common wild quail of the prairies cau be domesticated is established without doubt. The writer of this hasseeu sev eral flocks of them, aud accounts of successful domestication has been pub lished In papers m various parts of the country during the past two or three years. Aw riter in a St. Louis paper says: "i have frequently seen, from time to time in the past forty years, quails raised about farmers' houses, and as taine as pet chickens with which they associated. Were it not that the wild quails, in the larm fields, entice the tame ones away, there is no more difficulty in raising these birds and in keeping them from straying than there is iu raising bantam chit kens. Although never attempting 10 raise quails from the eggs, i have, myself, during the several hard winters, sufficiently do mesticated the wild ones by feeding them, as to have them come at call for the iood 1 gave them daily, in order to save them iroiu perishing, and lur breeding them the lollow ing season. True, they became shy again w hen 1 quit ministering to their wants. But tue ordinary domesticated fowls do this, and when they are reared in tue fields and woods, aw ay 7 from the haunts ol mail." i have seen them as wild as quails ever oeeome. KEEPING MILK. —Milk will absorb bad odors from the air quicker than almost any other liquid,therelore great care should be taken that it Is not ex posed to any condition where it will be likely to be damaged In the way. In manufacturing cream into butler, great care is necessary as to the quali ty ct salt used, as great loss may be entailed by this alone. The salt is a very small item in itself, nevertheless it has cost many dollars in the course of a year through the damage done by the use of an interior article. Always use the best known brands and keep a close watch upon them at that. The use ot firkins, pails or tubs made of any kind of wood that imparts an un pleasant flavor must be avoided, as, after packing,butter is very susceptible In coming in contact with any flavors of this kind. DRAINING PRAIRIE JJOIL. —In untilled prairie soil the'corn extends it roots until it strikes the water, a short dis tance under the surface ot the ground. When soli is tilled at a depth oi thirty six inches, the roots of the growing stalk extend by numerous fibres to the new water level, thus drawing to the plant the food lound in the much grea ter aepth of earth. Tne ground In the unfilled land cakes and bakes into a hard mass in dry weather, while that in the tilled earth is loose and porous. Capillary attraction in the latter in stance supplies moisture to the upper strata of earih. LAMBS should be separated from the dams and given a good pasture by themselves. If early lambs are desired lor the spring market a Southdown cross is preferable for quality, though in size the Cotswolds are much larger than the Southdown s. WHEN one has warm apartments in which to keep his flock, we think it an excellent plan to shear sheep several weeks before turning them out to pas ture. Give it a trial. YOUNG cows should not be taught to eat at milking lime, ag it will not always be found convenient to supply food, and they will be restless witnout it when accustomed to it. HORSES hate solitude, and are made sayage by being kept alone. Why the Glow-worms Glow —The French scientist Jousset de Lteilesme claims to have discovered that the glow of the glow-worm is a spontaneous ac tion, and that the little insect has the same object in glowing that some Pa risian ladies have in displaying certain ribbon,, streamers, which are very ap propriately called "suivez moi." It has long been known that the lemale glow worm alone understands the art of glowing exceedingly well, though the male and even, the larva possess some oi this phosphorescence. Some earlier scientists expressed their belief that the glowing apparatus in the lemale served the purpose of favoring the fructification of the * eggs, in so far as the male was attracted from the dis tance by the phosphorescent light of the female. But it was left to our pro saic age to discover that the light was produced by an essentially spontaneous action. The above named French na turalist made an incision in the head ot the female glow-worm (evidently supposing that in this animal, also, the orgau of will is in the head), and the phosphorescent light at once ceased, but it returned—and this is the .most important fact of the experiment— every time that the action oi the brain or of the central nervous organ was irritated by artificial means, such as electricity. As oils and fats exert a very destruc tive action upon inula rubber, the following recommendations by Mr. Thomas Bolas to those desirous of secur ing oil-resisting properties in the case of vulcanized caoutchouc may prove usetul: 1. The use of a high quality ot rubber. 2. Thorough curing. 8. The absence of free suiphur in the finished article. 4. The presence of such pig ments as litharge, red lead or white lead. 5. The incorporation ola trace of glycerine with the materials. 6. Curing in a glycerine bath placed in an ordinary steam vulcanizer. HUMOROUS. IT was ft little evening gathering. She was a delicate daisy of about forty summers and as many hard winters. They were eating fruit and she remark ed, as she delicately pared a peach: "The skin of a peach always sets my teeth on edge." Her little nephew who is sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, said, "Well, auntie, why don't you take your teeth out and lay them on the window sill, like you did this morning?" Iler appetite lor fruit vanished. The boy will sit sideways on the bench when he goes to school next Monday. A FEW nights ago the girls in an In diana college got up a kicking match, for the championship, the one that kicked the highest to bo awarded the belt. One of them tried to kick with both feet at once, and lie sat down oil her spinal column so italieally that she was seriously injured. A college girl shouldn't kick at the celling with both feet at once unless there is a young man standing near to catch her in case of a fall — and then it would be advis able to lirst dress like a female trapeze performer. A YOUNG mln ster and his wife visit ed the congregation where his father' was previously the pastor. He preach ed on the Sabbath, and after service, one of the venerable elders speaking with the young minister's wite, said: "Your husband preached frotn the same text that bis iatber had the last time he was in that pulpit." "Indeed," replied the lady, "I hope It was not the same sermon, too." "Ob, no," said the elder, "his father j was a dreadful smart man." HE was not much lip to Galveston tricks, but when a man with crape on his liat showed him a massive gold ring telliug him that he had just lound it, the young man didn't believe it. He said: "1 believe you stole that valu able ring." "No, sir; indeed I didn't. You may have it lor $2, as 1 have to leave town." He paid $2, but when he took it to the jewellei, and the jew eller told him the retail price per dozen of that style of ring was 33 cents, he burst into tears and said, "1 did that man an injustice. He never stole it. He was honest alter all. A DISGUSTED looking man with a double-barreled shot gun came wearily up Woodward avenue. "Well, Jones," said a friend, "justin from the flats?" "Yes," said Jones, dropping that butt of his gun heavily on the pavement, "I'm in from the flats. Six of us have been sitting in the rain In a wet boat for two days looking for dweks. Not seeing any sport in this. I left. The other five are there yet, and I am of your opinion that they're flats. Yes, sir," shouldering the shot guu again "I'm just in from the flats." A SCIENTIFIC journal explains, in a loug article, "How thunder storms come up." We haven't read the arti cle, but we know how they come up. They wait until the Sunday school pic nic reaches the grove, and gets fairly to business at Copenhagen, swinging, flirtation, croquet and other iu noceut games, and they come up like thunder aud lightning. It takes the average thunder storm not more than ten minutes to come up in the neigh borhood of a pie-nic. A FARMER complains that it cost him twenty-flve dollars to raise a pig weighing one bundled and fortv pounds. That was pretty steep. A man raised a pig weighing one hun dred and forty pounds, In a street ear, the other day, and It only cost him live dollars and cos.s. The pig was -nick ing and swearing in the presence of ladies, and the man raised him with his boot off the car into the street. The magistrate said he raised him a little too emphatically. The pig landed on his snout. A LADY with a fatal squint came once to a fashionable artist lor her portrait. He looked at her and she looked at him, and both were embarrassed. He spoke first: "Would your ladyship permit me," he said, "to take the pro file? There is a certain shyness about your ladyship's eye which is as diffi cult in art as it la fascinating in na ture." A YCUMG man who had Inherited the day before a large fortune from his uncle gave a dinner to a few friends. He inquired at the restaurant ir they had some old cheese. "Yes," replied the waiter, "Is it strong:" "Strong enough to bring the dead to life." "1 don't want it," replied the heir. THREE little boys, on a Sabbath day, were stopped on the street by an elder ly gentleman, who, perceiving that they had bats and balls with them,ask ed one of the number this question : "Boy,can you tell me where ail naugh ty boys goto who play ball on Suu day ?" "Over back of Johnson's dam !" the youngster replied. A YOUNO girl while attending Sab bath school saw a picture of Cain and Abel in the lesson book. She looked at the teacher and said: " ; man dead." Well, Stella," said the etacher, "what killed him ?" "Don't know," said the bright young lady; "runover by the cars, I suppose." OLD Mr. Coupons listened to a ser mon on charity iast Sunday and was so moved that when he came out he said : "I never was so stirred up about charity in all my life. I'll be blamed if! don't" —"Give five dollars to the uoor?" "Not exactly; I mean i feel like I want to go out begging, such an effect did that sermon have on me." THE only hope of bald heads —Car- boline, a deodorized extract of petro leum. Every objection removed by tne recent improvement. It is now fault less. The only real natural hair re storer ever produced. Two MILESIANS were standing at the Falrmount water works in Philadel phia, Pa., watching the big wheels splashing the water in every direction, when one of them remarked. "Mike isn't this a qure country, where they have to grind their water before they can use it?" "IT isn't loud praying that counts with the Lord so much as giving four quarts lor every gallon,sixteen ounees lor a pound, and thirty-six inches to the yard," said an Arkansas circuit rider. _____ THE other day, while at dinner Miss Mary Anderson was asked by the waiter, "Soup?" "No, Sir!" she re plied, indignantly, "I am the leading actress of the age." WE have known some extreme cases of headache cured in half an hour by taking a teaspoonful of finely-pow dered charcoal in half a tumbler of water. It is an innocent yet power ful alkali.

RELIEF FOR BURNING FEET.—TO re lieve burning feet first discard tight boots. Take one pint of bran and one ounce ol bicarbonate of soda, put in a foot-bath, add one gallon of hot water; when cool enough soak your feet in this mixture lor tliftoen minutes. The relief is instantaneous. Tins must be repeated every night for a week, or perhaps more. Then bran and bicar bonate should bo made fresh after a week's use. Bicarbonate of soda can bo bought for a small price per pound from wholesale druggists. The burn ing sensation is produced by the pores of the skin being elosed, so that the ieet do not perspire. llow TO CLEAN THK FLOOR. —If you have a painted floor keep soap and soap suds ofl of it, for it spoils the bright ness of the paint, makes it soft, and then it peals oil, leaving the floor look ing worse than if it had not been vainted. Just take clean, hot water, put a teaspoonful of spirits 01 ammonia into a three-gallon pail of water, stir It, and with a clean, long handle mop,rub the floor all over,then wipe it off with clean water. It takes a little while to get the gray out of the boards, but it will come out after a time, and you will iind it far easir to keep your floor white and nice than it was when cleaused with soap suds.

As the firemen belonging to Engine Company No. 20 were returning from a firs in Warren street last evening, they saw smoke issuing from the grat ing over the sidewalk in front of 201 Fulton street, occupied by the Wells Tea Company. An alarm was sounded and the engine had steam up again in a few minutes. Five more engines came. At first it looked as though it would bo a very easy matter to extin guish the fire, but the smoke was so dense that entering the place to direct tho streams was out of the question. Poles were therefore attached to the nozzles, which were then pushed in through the basement windows. It took two hours of steady, hard work to thoroughly extinguish the fire. The damage was estimated at trom $20,000 to $25,000, and the amount of tea made by the streams of water playing for so loug on the blazlug tea-chests was es timated at a million gallons. —Taken irom N.

Tbe limit or Smoker*. A year or two ago there died In Rot terdam a certain Mynheer Van Klaes, to whom Is certainly due the title of "The King of Smokers." To gain this distinction In the great nation of puff ers must require almost superhuman powers and a love for the Indian weed ttiat passes understanding. But Van Klaes was ever superior to the emer gency. It took no effort on his part to gain the smoky crown and wear it while he lived. He did not even die young, as we might have anticipated from his immoderate use of the weed, but both enjoyed life and smoking until he had passed his eightj-drst birthday. During the long vista of smoky years in which he reveled In his pipe, Van Klaes consumed four tons 01 tobacco, well wetted down by 690,000 quarts of ale which he drank, not to mention Schiedam schnapps und other national beverages. In Mynheer's house was a sumptu ous apartment* entirely devoted to pipes and tobacco. Every variety of the fragrant weed grown on the earth's surface was to be fouud there, in the plug, cut up or shredded. Cigars, oi* garottes and cigarillas were grouped about in tasteful display. But, above all, Mynheer's pipes first riveted the visitor's eye. In this choice collection every branch or variety of the pipe family had Its representative; one could trace the whole evolution of the race, from the olumsy howl and thick stem of Sir Walter Raleigh's clay to the lovely-carved meerschaum from Treblsond. In this temple of tobacco the veteran would sit puffing prodigious volumes of smokes from his well-dlled pipe, only pausing now and then to wet his thirsty lips with a drink of ale. It is said that his last reflecting breath was borne from his lifeless body on & oloud of fragrant smoke. A few hours before his death, Van Klaes called for a notary to make his will. Puffing vigorously, and after taking a puff at his Schiedam, Myi heer gave precise directions for the perior mance of his obsequies. In the flrst place, his ooflln was to be thoroughly llued with the tops, bottoms and sides of boxes that had contained his favor ite cigars; then a bladder of the finest dry-cut Dutch golden leaf was to be placed at his feet. Most Important of all, his favorite pipe must be laid by his side. A firm conviction that his soul was not going to dwell In these latitudes where Are is always sure to be close at hand caused Mynheer to direct his executor to place a box of matches by his side, and with great foresight he also desired that a flint and steel should be added, as by some unforeseen occurences the matches might dampen before they would be wanted. Having thus attended to bis personal wants in the next world, Van Klaes desired that the smokers in the neigh borhood should be invited t® his funeral, each one to be presented with ten pounds of tobacco and two pipes stamped with the name and arms of Van Kiaes, together with the date of the donor's demise. These guests were to be admonished to keep their pipes lighted during service, and to scatter ashes on the coffin ai it was being con signed to mother earth. The poor of the vicinity, who ob served these instructions faithfully, wore to be presented on the anniver sary of Mynheer's death with ten pounds of tobacco and a firkin of ale apiece. After these items were arrang ed to his liking. Mynheer smoked his last breath .constant to the last,and cer tainly deserving to be immortalized as the "greatest smuker since the flood."
