ONE OF THE
CITY'S 0WT
There were ructions in ths counting
houae of Tattersou & DewhursL One
or two junior clerks had received ts
more or less well-deserved wigging'
and there was a general feeling of worse
to follow.
At last a small office-boy entered tbe
clerk's office, and said, in a shrill
voice: '
"Mr. Redbolt is to go to the governor
at once."
There was a mischievous grin on the
young gentleman's face, as if he knew
what was coming, and moat of the
others, delighted at their own escape,
chuckled, like many people do, when
some one elite is In trouble.
Joe lied bolt turned just a shade pater
when bis name was called out, as if be,
too, anticipated serious trouble; but he
set his lips and stiffened his back, like
a man who is going to make the best
of a bad job.
"Good-by, Reddle, dear!" said some
body, with an unpleasant sneer, "If
the governor gives you a raise, don't
forget to stand drinks!"
"Reddie looks worried," murmured
tbe cashier.
"Perhaps she has refused him, after
all!" remarked another.
Mr. Red bolt made no answer to tbe
chaff, but strode briskly across the
room.
A moment later he was In the pri
vate office.
Young Mr. Dewhurst, who had man
aged the business since the death of his
father, gave him a furtive look as be
entered and then turned hurriedly to
bundle of correspondence by his side
and selected a letter with an air of
malicious satisfaction.
The two men formed an odd con
trast. They were of about the same
age 2S or perhaps 30 but it required
no great Insight to perceive tbe differ
ence in their characters. Red bolt was
tall, straight-built, and frank looking;
bis principal was small, insignificant,
and obviously one of Nature's sneaks.
One could imagine Redbolt being
foolish, but neter cowardly; one eould
Imagine Mr. Dwhurst being sly, but i
never generous.
The interview was unusual, there
seemed to be something. In the back
ground about which neither man spoke.
Mr. Dewhurst was clearly master of the
situation, and resolved to use his pow
er; his managing clerk looked self
reliant, but perfectly respectful and
polite.
The ball was opened by Mr. Dew
hurst unfolding a cantankerous com
plaint from an unimportant customer.
It was the merest trifle, and quite ua
worthy of the occasion. Nevertheless
Joe Redbolt was by no means surprised
at the tone adopted. For some time
past tbe smallest opportunities had
been seized for fault finding, and be
knew by instinct that the climax had
been reached.
"How do you account far this blun
der?" said Mr. Dewhurnt suspiciously.
His clerk gave a simple, straight
forward explanation, which to a reas
onable matt, would have been suffi
cient. Buf. Mr. Dewhnrst was swt n a
reasonable humor.
"It appears to me then, that you are
not in any way to blame, Mr. Red
bolt?" he said cynically.
"I think not,"
"You never make a mistake?"
4Not very often."
44 Who is to blame, then?"
There was a moment's silence, and
the two men looked into fetch other's
eyes.
"You are, sir," sad Rid bolt respect
fully. "I acted under your instruc
tions," This apppared to give the unworthy
little tyrant his opportunity.
"You are more than half imperti
nent!" he said roughly..
"I give you my word that I don't
Intend to be so," said Redbolt, with
perfect good temper.
"Perhaps not; but I'm tired of it.
You forget your proper position, and
bave crossed my will in several ways."
Mr. Redbolt colored rather painfully,
and his principal coutiuued, with
smile of spiteful triumph:
"You understand what I allude to?"
The clerk bowed slightly.
"Then I think you had better look
around for another p-isition."
"Shall we calculate the month from
last Monday?" asked Joe Redbolt, in a
perfectly even, matter-of-fact voice.
"Eh, yes;" said Mr. Dewhurst "But
I won't ask you to continue your work
here."
With that he pushed across the table
a little pile of coins, which had been
counted out already, clearly showing
that he intended from the first to make
use of tbe opportunity.
For ttit frst time Joe Redbolt looked
angry. It was adding insult to Injury
to send him away at a moment's no
tice, as if he had disgraced himself.
It was tbe more outrageous because
he was a' distant relation of the Dew
hursts by blood. ' The two youog men
had been for a short time at school
together, and Redbolt bad worked his
way up by sheer ability, under old Mr.
Dewhurst's eye to a responsible posi
tion.
Naturally, they knew the same peo
ple, and, to some extent, visited the
same houses; and it was in this way
tbat.Dewbuia'.'s inherent jealousy had
ripened into positive rancor for that
there was a member of the fair sex at
erset
ESTABLISHED 1827.
the bottom of it Is almost obvious.
The innocent cause of the trouble,
little dreaming of the mischief she wan
creating, had thoroughly enjoyed the
rivalryjof the twojmen, as every daught
er of live is bound to do, and she had
not made it quite clear which of them
was to be favored, which is certainly a
woman's privilege.
But Joe Redbolt was generally be
lieved to be the lucky mn, and Dew
hurst had vented his anmanly spite by
a thousand annoyances in the office.
However, in love as in war, it is the
unexpected that often happens. Joe
Redbolt proposed, and was refused
point blattk.
Now most men when they see a dan
gerous rival put out of court, bury
their animosity and even become gen
erous. But this was not the ca.e with Fred
DewhurxL Petty annoyances devel
oped rapidly iuto daily iusults, until
the morning, as we bave seen, he had
found an excuse to cut his former
schoolfellow adrift. -
II.
Joe Redbolt picked up the pile of
coins, counted them deliberately, and
put them in his pocket.
"Now, Fred Dewhurst," he said,
huskily, "we are no longer master and
man, so that I can say what I think."
Dewhnrst looked rather alarmed,
and drew a small silver bell near to his
side.
"Oh, don't be frightened," said Joe,
with a smile of amusement. "I am
not going to thr&h! It wouldn't 19
fair to hit a man your sizo!"
Mr. Dewhurst tried to sneer, but only
looked mightily relieved.
"I want to tell yea what I think of
you," said Joe.
"Go on," said Dewhurst with a grin.
"Seeing that you've had the worst of
it all through, I suppose I mustn' mind
a few spiteful words!"
"I want to tell you that you're the
meanest cad I've met, and if that poor
girl marries you I'm sorry for her!"
"In fact, you're so sorry," said Dew
hurst, "that you'd even marry her
yourself. Capital! And now you've
said enough, I'll wish you good morn
ing." -
With a mighty effort of self-restraint,
Joe pulled himielf together, and resist
ing the impulse to knock him down,
swung out of the room.
Ho had lost everything the girl he
loved, and the m-aaa of earning his
living. He was alone in the world,
with no prospect but that of com
mencing life agalu in some counting
house, and then suddenly he remem
bered. Only two nights before he bad
attended drill at the headquarters of
his volunteer corjs. The men had
been asked which of them wished to
join the C. I. V. for the front. He
thought of tlK glow trust had liuf nt
through his veins, how he had longed
to offer himself, and had only been
prevented by his feeling of obligation
to his old friend's business. Now he
was free!
That settled it. Old E ngland was in
need of help from men such as he. He
was as sound as a bell in wind and
limb, he bad done his turn at volun
teering, and coum scoot more than a
little.
Within half an hour his name was
entered as one of those who were ready
for service at the front, and he was
ordered to go before the doctor.
That gentleman laughed at him.
"If we get 1,400 men as fit as you
are," be said, "we shall do well!"
Having successfully passed all tbe
tests, and been duly enrolled as one of
the City of Londou Imperial Volunteer
corps, he felt slightly easier iahis mind.
It must be confessed that he was iu
that pleasant frame of miud when a
man firmly believes that there is no
body to grieve over him, and finds a
morbid pleasure in the prospect of a
soldier's grave.
Moat of us get these atiacks of de
spondency some time in our lives, and,
to tell the truth, it lasted a very short
time with Joe R-sibolL After a few
days of hard drill, he bad lottt eight of
the possibility of getting killed, and
was looking forward to making things
as unpleasant as possible for tbe enemy.
Atla.it the final moraeut came. Ha
had attended the service at St, Paul's,
and sung the national anthem until
he was hoarse. He had been slapped
on the brick by hundreds of warm
hearted but heavy-handed citizens.
He had even fought his way success
fully through a mob of enthusiastic
patriots, all the way from Bunhill row
to Nine Elms, w here he was one of the
first to arrive.
There stood the team waiting to take
them to Southampton. There, loo,
stood the long-suffering-band and
every minute groups of breathless, ex
cited men in khaki, who bad also
fought their way through the crowd,
rushed on to the platform.
Of course, It was all over. There was
nothing to be done but get into tbe
train and say good-by to old London
for months perhaps for ever. Ouce
more a gloomy scDse of loneliness came
upon hint. Everybody vise had a chum
or a relative to see him off. Aud, then
an angel came from heaven? Not
quite! Cut an earthly angel appeared,
in the shape of a slight form in a long
black cloak, who was pushing her way
feverishly through the crowd, eagerly
scanning the faces of all the "gentle
men in khaki."
Then their eyes met, and in a minute
he was clasping in his arms tbe girl
who had refused him a month before,
aud in whose presence he bad always
been so shy that he had never yet dared
to press ber hand.
How had it happened ? There seem
ed no need and certainly no time
for explanations. Why had he accept
ed her foolish "No," when she never
meant htm to? She always thought
he would speak to her again. Why
had be been so awkward and brusque
in the way he bad ank her ? He had
giveu her no chance to say "Yes."
And it was only last Dight she bad
learned what had happened from
Dewhurst's own lips and she had
cried all night at the mischief she had
done, and would he forgive ber? And
did be still care for her a little bit ?
"Take your seats, there!" roared an
officer.

ty. With her arms round his neck,
and tear-stained cheeks pressed to his,
she promised to wait for him.
44Gyd bless you!" be whispered.
"And God bring yoa back to nie!"
she answered.
And then, with cheers and whistles,
and the baud playing ,4God Save the
Queen," and men shouting and laugh
ing and crying, the train moved out,
and the City's Own were en route for
the front. Answers.
Secret of His S access.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew is one of
the most accessible men to newspaper
reporters, and he receives them all in
the same genial manner with which
be receives his persoual friends. He
is said to attribute a large part of bis
popularity to newspapers.
"For," as he said to a friend not long
ago, "I always treat the papers well
and they always do the same by me."
A reporter asked him the other day how
much time in a week he gave to inter
viewers. "Oh, about two hours a day,"
he replied. 44 You must be pretty good
natured," the newspaper man said.
"I have never seen him anything
else," Harry Duval, his secretary, in
terposed. 44 Well, you see," laughed Depew, "it
pays to be good-natured. I think just
as does this lady from whom I received
a letter this morning, beginning "It's
sweet to live.' Now, what do you
think of that? I don't know what
she's driving at, but it is sweet to live,
isn't it?"
And the reporter left with the sound
of Depew a hearty laugh sounding in
bis ears.
Keep the Teeth Clean.
Dr. Oliver, in the Texas Dental Jour
nal, in an article upon "Oral Hygiene,"
believes that the teeth should be looked
after by a competent dentist from the
time when the child begins to cut its
first teeth, and says that he has seen
the first teeth ruined by rubbing
through the gums with a thimble or
scalpel, breaking the enamel before the
teeth bave come to light- He cautions
people against cutting and slashing
the gums of an Infant, unless it Is ab
solutely essential, and in any case it
should de done by a competent person.
Not only are the first teeth liable to
injury from UDwise aud unskillful in
terferences, but the embryonic second
or permanent Jeeth may be injured.
He defines orvl bygieue to be "the
keeping of a clean, sweet and healthy
mouth from youth up to old age."
Apropos of this the Dominion Dental
Journal says that many persons toler
rate more filth and disease la their
mouths than they would on their feet.
The mouth is tbe portal of life and
health.
Too Many Dogs in Kansas.
Kansas has suffered in years past
from an overproduction of grasshop
pers and PopullsU. It is dow afflicted
It appears, with a surplusage of dogs.
It is long on dogs, but short oh sheep
The secretary of tbe Kansas State
Apricultural Society deplores this fact
la a recent report He shows that
there are but 200.000 sheep in tbe state,
while the number of dogs is 176.000.
Two years ago the sheep outnumbered
the dogs by 30 per cent, while laat year
this percentage was reduced to 17. In
one county there were 900 dogj to each
sheep, and in twelve selected counties
there were 'JJO dogs to each sheep. If
a similar investigation were made in
other States, we doubt not that fume of
them would show an equal dispropor
tion of dogs and sheep. But It is not
a good sign anywhere. Prosperity for
the farmer docs not lie along the way
t f an increase in the dog crop.
Can Firing and Deafness.
The stunning report of each gun as
it is fired is something that a stranger
on the deck will loni; remember.
There is an old saying, "deaf as a
pott." Now, in the royal navy, this
is changed to "deaf as a post captain."
No man can go through a long series
of gunnery practices without baviDg
his heariug seriously affected. Some
men put cottou wool in their ears, but
even tnls precaution does little to
deaden the terrible shock. And if the
firing of one or two guns has such a
shattering power, what would be the
effect if the whole armament were in
action together?
It is almost Impossible to conceive
the strain upon nerve and senses of the
rending concussion. If a visitor
watches the firing of one of the mon
ster nine-inch guns, and then places
himself beside ODe of the small pieces,
the report made by tbe one will not
appear much louder than that of the
other. The extra distance to the muz
zle of the big piece discounts the
sounds. .The only apparent difference
between the two apoears to be that the
small pieces have a sharper, higher-
pitched note, and that the six and
nine-Inch guus speak with more of a
bellowing roar. One piece of advice
may be given to anyone who finds
himself iu the neighborhood of a gun
In action. Tbe noise will not have
nearly tbe same effect if you are
watching the gun as if the crash comes
unexpectedly. Unconsciously nature
prepares you to resist a shock which Is
known to be impending.
I consider it not only a pleasure bfct
a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell
abyut the wonderful cure effected in
my case by the timely use of Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. I was taken very badly with
flux and procured a bottle of this

General Lawton'i Modesty.
The late Gen. Lawton, admittedly
the greatest Indian fighter of the
army, with all his energy, persever
ance and natural military genius, was
as conspicuously modest as Gen. Grant.
On public occasions, says a writer in
the New York Tribune, he was as bash
ful as .a girl, and as his great height
made him the center of fjttentJon io a
crowd, there were many occasions
when his bashfulness was evidently
painful. Admiral Bradford, who is one
of the giants of the navy, first met Gen.
Lawton just after the famous 1,600
mile chase for Gerouiiuo, wherein he
had displayed that genius for moving
his men which was so conspicuous
throughout the Philippine eanipaign.
"I went to the white house reception
in lS.si for the first time," says Admi
ral Bradford, "and wheu I got into the
jam of the east room I could see noth
ing but a sea of heads, uutil I fouud
myself looking above the crowd at a
handsome young man, whose whole
head stood above the general leveL
He was the hero of the hour, just back
from his capture of Geronimo's band,
and apparently was suffering agonies
from the attentions showered upon
him."
When Gen. Lawton came home from
Cuba last year, it was found that be
had gained no more self-possession
thau he exhibited when unwillingly
lionized tea years before. The presi
dent insisted .upon his goiug to Ala
bama with him when Tuskegee was
visited. At Montgomery the president
and Gen. Wheeler spoke, and there,
was elequence on all sides. Finally
the governor of Alabama introduced
Gen. Lawton as "the hero of Santiago."
Lawton was forced to say something.
It is said to be the single speech of his
life. He stood for a long time, bowing
to tbe wildly cheering crowd, and after
several attempts to bide himself, only
to be lifted to his feet again, he was
finally induced by the president to
make some response to the applause.
He advanced to the front, aud wheu
he could be heard, said simply:
. "I aai not a hero. lam just a regu
lar. I can't make a speech. Thank
you."
Then he succeeded la hiding him
self for the rest of the tour.
- His last apj.arance in Washington
was at a great Gridiron club dinner to
the army and navy. Gen. Shafter un
rolled a raanuhcript and read a few re
marks; Schley, with his ready wit and
ease, charmed everybody; Sigsbee talk
ed well amid cheers; Gen. Breckinridge
was as eloquent as usual, but when
Lawton was called, he rose, trembling,
aud after bowing in ailence took his
seat.
No greater ovation was ever given a
man than he received when his name
mas uttered. There was cheerio and
waviug of napkins foreveral minutes.
The guests all rose to their feet, while
he alone remained seated. Afterward
he declared that it was a hundred times
as bad as the assault on El Caoey.
A Boy to Depend Upon.
Jeremiah Jones is even meaner than
the man who split up his wife's tomb
stone to repair bis doorstep. Jones was
an inveterate tobacco smoker, but, as
his wife detested the practice and made
home tempestuous and stormy for him
when he indulged in the habit there,
he always smoked when away during
the day, and declared to his better half
that he had stopped permauentlyTBi-V
one evening, upon entering the front
door and drawiugout his handkerchief,
he accidentally pulled out his pouch of
tobacco, and, without noticing it, left
it lying on the floor.
Wheu Jones sat down to his supper,
his wife walked in with the tobacco in
her baud, and lookicg Jones firmly in
the eye, said: "Do you know who this
belougs to?"
With great presence of mind, Jouoa
turned, scowling, to his eldest sen and
said, with a severe voice: "Immortal
Mars! Is it possible that you have be
gan to smoke? You youDg reprobate?
Where'd you get that nasty stuff?
What do you mean by such conduct,
you youug villain? Haven't I told
you often enough to let tobacco alone?
Come here to me, or I'll tear the coat
off you."
As be spoke, the stern father made a
grab at the boy and dragged him out
into the hallway, where he chastistd
bim with a cani.
Then Jones threw the tobacco over
the fence, where he weut out and got
it the next morning and enjoyed it
during the day.
"Merciful heavens!" he exclaimed,
when he told us about it, "What
should I have done if my children had
all been girls? It makes an old father's
heart glad when he feels that he has a
boy he can depend upon in such emer
gencies." Yoa Can't Get Ee.ted

The Sejatorship from Pennsylvania.
From the Philadelphia laolrer.
The Insurgent newspapers of PeDn
sylvanla are amusing themselves these
days with guesses concerning the
United States Senatorsbip. They as
sume to believe that, because by the
narrow margin of one vote Colonel
Quay was refused his seat in the Sen
ate, he is doue for for all time. Be
cause Henry W. Oiiver presided over
the recent State Convention, they de
clare that Oliver is to be given the
Quay support. When they get tired
of discussiag Oliver, they talk about
Magee, and Widtner, and even Sibley,
who has jumped into the Republican
party from the other side.
All these things are very amusiDg,
When men are making a losing fight
they whistle to kwp their courage up,
rnd that is just what the insurgent or
sans are doing to-d.ty. While shiver
ing on the verge of despair they whis
tle and try to make themselves think
that their jig is nt up. The State
Convention made Colonel Quay tbe
candidate for Senator. He is not a
candidate of his own volition, but
when the great party with which be
has acted not only invites him to be
come a candidate, but demands it,
what else can he do? He is in the
hands of tbe Republican party of
Pennsylvania, and the Republican
State Convention pledged itself to sup
port him. He is the oi.ly candidate.
There seems to be no doubt that
Quay is much stronger tis-day than he
was before the adverse vote in the
United States Senate. This will be
shown when more of the primary
elections to name candidates for the
legislature are held. Up to date be
has gained very materially over his
vote in the last Legislature. He is
practically out of the woods now ; that
is, if Republicans go to the polls and
vote the Republican ticket. Tbe only
possible way by which he can be
(eaten is to turn the State over to the
Democrats. To do this would create
great confusion, and would undoubt
edly lose to the Republican organiza
tion in Congress several members that
undoubtedly will be needed. Indeed,
the insurgents have about given up
the idea of electing any Republican to
succeed Q'lay. The lenders among the
ptrty wreckers r re alr-tdy advocating
through their organs fusion with the
1 KTnocrats. The Democratic candi
date is Colonel Guffey, and thtse lead
ers are more than wiiiing to elect Guf
fey rather than see Quay returned.
The whole otjcCt of the insurgent
leaders to-day is to elect Democrats to
tie Legislature.
We doubt very much if they will
find any considerably following will
ing to go with them, A few conspir
ing leaders may think that they can
control the great Republican vote of
Pennsylvania, but we have an idea
that the Republicans of this state are
altogether too loyal to their party to
give their votes to meu who will sup
port Guffey for United States Senator.
Origin of Visiting Cards.
"The use of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity," explains Mrs.
Wo Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept a visitors' book, in which he
scrawled his idea of the Dames of those
who called upon tbe master and his
family, and to whose inspection it was
submitted from time to time. One
Lfine gentleman, a scion of the nobility
from the Faubourg St. Germain, was
shocked to find that his porter kept so
poor a register of the camea of tiiose
who had called upon bim. The names,
badly written with spluttering pen
and pale or muddy Ink, suggested to
him the idea of writing his own name
upon slips of paper or bits of card
board in advance of calling upon his
neighbors lest his name should fare as
badly as the hands of their porters.
This custom soon became generally
established."
Care of Milk and Churning.
As soon as drawn from the cow, put
the milk where no bad odors can reach
it, or better, as soon as a pail is filled
strain it into the can and place it in a
tank of cold water or run through tbe
separator, if one is used. If ice is plen
tiful, reduce the temperature of the
water to V degrees, and practically all
the cream will be obtained. Do not
mix the night's and morning's milk
if the Lest grade of butter is expected.
Change the water in the tank often
enough to prevent Its becoming foul.
If tbe water is kept at a temperature of
about 5-3 degrees, practically all the
cream will rise in twenty-four Lours.
Skim, aud when enough is obtained for
a churning, raise to a temperature of
GO to 6-" degrees to ripen. Hasten the
ripening by usiug sour skim milk an a
starter. In winter churn at i drgrees;
in summer 53 to GO is preferable. As
soon as the granules are the size of
wheat grains, draw o3 and wash until
all the buttermilk is removed. Work,
salt and market as soon as possible. If
you are so unfortunate as to get a poor
grade of butter it must be consumed at
once or it will soon be urflt for use.

Hs Tt Ua the Truth,
A Pennsylvania ditor who love
the truth says :
"Willie Shortlike s,r.d Bettie P.looiit-
ers were tiiarm-u last evening. The
c'mreh was prettily decorated with
flowers aud potted plants, borrowet
promiscuously all over town frota peo
ple who didn't want to lend them.
The decoration was done under protest
by some of tbe members of the church,
who were asked to do so by the bride,
and couldn't well refuse. The ladies
are of the opinion that if the couple
were so bent on having a stylish wed
ding they should have been willing to
have paid someone to chase all over
the town for a day getting flowers to
gether and then taking them borne
again.
"The bride wore a handsome Silver
stela gown, made at home, and the
groom was decked In a 10 handnie
down ;uit The ushers wore cutaway
coats borrowed for the occasion. Sallie
Potts was maid of houor, and the con
census of opinion was that she was- 2
to 1 better than the bride. The young
couple took the morning train to Pitts
burg, where tbey will spend mote
money in a few days than Willie can
earn in three months.
,4Williesays that now he's marritd
he's going to settle down. Some of
our merchants think it would har
been better if he had settled down
first The groom gets a salary of f7 a
month, which is about the allowance
Bettie has bten used to for pin money.
We wish for Willie's sake that the old
saying that it takes no more to support
two than one wasn't a lie.
"The bride sent up a shoe-box full of
a conglomeration of stuff supposed t
lie cake. If this is a sample of JMtie's
cake we feel sorry for Willie. Our
janitor's dog fell heir to the cake and
now he's lyiug in the cold, cold
ground. But this aedding is none of
our funeral. If Willie and Bettie are
satisfied we've got no kick coming."
Dangers of Xewspaper Borrowirg-.
Here Is the latest story of the man
who is too stingy to take his home pa
per: "A man who was too economical
to take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neighbor.
In his hate the boy ran over a f 4 s:and
of bees and in ten minutes looked like
a warty summer squash. His crUs
reached his father, who ran to his as
sistance, and falling to notice a barbed
wire fence, ran into that, breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh from
his anatomy and ruiuing a if pair of
pan's. Tbe old cow took advantage
of the gap in the fence and got into, the
cornfield, and killed herself eatirg
green corn. Hearing the racket, thw
wife ran, upset a four gallon churn full
of rich cream into a basket of kitttcs,
drowning the whole flock. In the
hurry she dropped a $7 set of fao
teeth. The baby, left aloue, crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor, ruining a brand new $0 carpet.
Durit.g the excitement tbe oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man; the diig broke up 11 setting hens,
and the calves got out and chewed the
tails off four fine shirts." Kansas City

Save the Ejjshells.
Eggshells are valuable. They should
not be thrown away. They are par
ticularly -.a! aable in the spring when
youn; broods of chicks are to be pro
vided for. Little chicks need grit.
Tt.ey need it from tho very moment
they are put out of doors with the
mother hen. It is tbe cowvmon prso
tio then to stuff them with doughy
mixtures exclusively, and great armies
of them are slain -jvery year by this
method of feeding. Comparatively
few people kuow that the addition of
sfime gritty matter at this time would
to a great extent stop tliU slaughter.
The poultry supply houas have f ir
sale chick grit, and it is an excellent
article to keep on hand, but egg shells
make a pretty fair substitute for It
Place the shells in the oven of the
kitchea stove and subject them to a
slow beat until they are thoroughly
dried. They will then be quite brittle
and can be crushed into small particles.
Place some cf thia near the coop where
the chicks can get it every day. It will
save the lives of many youngsters
which would otherwise fall victims to
stomach and bowel troubles. Farmers'

The ancients believed that rheuma

attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu
