Feeding? Yonn»r Chick*.
Chicks will do without food for the
first 24 hours, but when they do begin
to feed they should be fed constantly.
At first their food should be bread
crumbs dry or soaked in milk and the
yolk of a hard boiled egg. Afterward
give small grain, wheat, groats, canary
seed, a little hemp seed, bits of cooked I
meat and sparingly of green stuff.
Feed every two hours for the first two
weeks, then gradually extend the time
until the meals are given three or four
times a dny. When the chicks are a
week old, they should be allowed to i
run about In the open air. Do not let
the chicks out too early in the morning,
even when a month old, as the wet
grass is bad for them.

WILL BENEFIT MARINERS.
The Topophnne Designed to Gel
One'n Bearings Inn I'«k.
An invention which should prove
very valuable to mariners is the topo
phone, au instrument devised by Lieu
tenant D. P. Heap, engineer of the
Third lighthouse district, Tompkins
ville, N. Y. It is meant to assist the
sailor to locate his position in a fog.
Concerning it The Scientific American
says:
With its use the mariner can deter
mine the direction of any sound be
fore it can bo heard without the instru
ment. The topophone is simple in con
struction, light in weight, portable, can
THE TOPOPHOXE IN t'SE.
be used in any part of a vessel, and
any one with normal hearing can soon
become proficient in its use.
It consists of two acoustic receivers
or trumpets, pointing in opposite direc
tions and supported ou a vertical shaft.
From the lower ends of the trumpets
extend rubber tubes connected with the
ears by specially constructed earpieces,
The observer holds the shaft so that |
the instrument is above his head. If a ;
sound is heard in either ear—the right j
ear, for example—it shows at once that
the sound must be somewhere on his
right hand side. If he then turns to the
right until the sound is heard in his
left ear, it shows that he lias passed
the direction of the sound. If he then
oscillates the trumpets so that the
sound is heard alternately in each ear,
the sound will be In the direction in
side the angle of oscillation. This an
gle generally is about one point of the
compass. The whole operation is sim
jile, and the above operations take but
a few seconds.
As soon as the direction of the sound
Is ascertained, the observer can keep j
the topophone pointed in its direction,
and, knowing the speed of the vessel
and its course, the location of the
sound can be quickly plotted accurate
ly enough for all practical purposes.
Snmir by Electricity.
A means for the extraction of differ
ent sugars by electrolysis has been re
cently tested on a commercial basis,
and it is believed the process will open
up a new department in sugar manu
facture, says a British scientist. The
method employed consists in the use of
metallic plates as electrodes in connec
tion with a wood vat divided into three
compartments. The sacchai!::e juice
is placed in the central div'. :i, those
at the two ends being f;!kd Ith pure
water. On t!: pa age of the electric
current the albuminoids and other sub
stances in the juice coagulate and are
precipitated. The salts are decompos
ed, and the juice becomes limpid and
colorless, the lime and magnesia set
tling at the bottom. The soda, potassa
and ammonia are drawn to the end
vats.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Virtue* of a Milk Diet.
Milk is Hit- latest and must approved
dietetic fad. The woman who Is fair
and with 40 staring licr in the face and
who Is determined not to lie fat makes
her breakfast and lunch of milk and
fresh fruit. She dines on a quarter of
a pound of lean roast meat, with
enough fresh green vegetables to
"make bulk In her insides," as Tommy
Atkins would say.
The fresh, wholesome beauty of the
young queen of Holland is attributed to
her frugal diet of the national milk and
cheese, and the extraordinary vitality
of the aged Roman pontiff is another
evidence of what a rigorous diet will do
for even so delicate a man as Pope Leo
has always been.
The milk diet is of more value than
many complexion washes, and as a
means of adding to or diminishing
one's weight it has no equal.
The popular superstition that milk is
fattening arises from the fact that
many misguided people. In addition to
n heavy meal, drink milk sufficient for
another meal and complain that it disa
grees with them and increases their
weight. In order to derive ben (tit from
the milk diet one shotdd get hold of a
few fundamental facts.
In the first place, 1 1 ■> pints of pure
milk, or three glasses, contain besides
water enough food in concentrated form
and properly proportioned to make a
meal for an adult human being. This
quantity of milk, with the addition of
a little fruit, is the regulation break
fast and lunch of the dieter. For din
ner a quarter of a pound of lean roast
meat, with some green vegetable, is al
lowed. A pint of milk is the limit
where loss of flesh is an object, and
one glass, with fruit, for breakfast and
the same for lunch may be regarded as
rather rigorous treatment.
Aii Outdoor rnntr.v.
People with plenty of ground space,

detached structure set In the shadiest
place possible, standing upon four tali
legs, with a flat shingle roof with bare
ly enough pitch to shed rain. The floor
is at least four feet from the ground
and the whole structure only big
enough to reach well across. There
are shelves all around, and the weather
boarding up next the roof is full of tiny
auger holes. The door tits tight and
fastens with a lock. Around each of
the four legs Is commonly a tar band
age applied six inches above the
ground. This traps venturesome ants,
spiders and their kidney, thus keeping
the Inside clear. The structure is
whitewashed inside and out twice a
year. In hot weather floor and shelves
are washed every morning and scour
ed twice a week. Such a fixture should
not cost over &{ or $4 even if one hires
it built, and it is certainly among the
handiest things one can have about
the house or yard.
"Cheap and IS'anty."
There are a large number of house
keepers who have a horror of anything
cheap au<l who of two things precisely
the same would instinctively choose tlie
higher priced. "Cheap and nasty," they
quote, and there, for them, ends the
matter. To be sure, some cheap foods
are nasty, and much food is eaten by
the poor that is not only cheap and
nasty, but unwholesome. And much
food sold In the markets is sold too
cheaply—i. e., at a price that cannot pay
the producers, whom it is nobody's in
terest to starve. The fact is that this
disagreement, like so many in the
world, depends upon the use of the
same word by different people with a
different meaning. "Cheap" by one
party is taken to mean merely low
priced, and it Is a truism to say that
low priced things are often not worth
buying even at their price, while
"cheap" is by other persons taken to in
dicate the. worth of a tiling rather than
its price. So the meaning attached to
the epithet begs the whole question.

STEEL COFFERDAMS.
CliirfiK" FnuinpiT Ileliovefi He Will
Revolutionize Submarine Work.
Steel threatens to displace wood for
cofferdams and sheathing used in tun
nel. dock and bridge construction, sew
er building and like work, says the Chi
cago Record Herald. Patents have been
secured by George \V. Jackson, who be
lieves that his invention will revolu
tionize all tunnel and other forms of
submarine operations.
For many years one of the most trou
blesome features in marine foundation
work has been the construction of a
substantial cofferdam or sheathing at a
reasonable expense. Mr. Jackson lias
had the problem in his mind for a long
while and a few months ago evolved
the idea to use steel "1" beams and
channel irons for sheathing in place of
wood, the channel beams being riveted
together in pairs in such a way as to
allow of the"l" beams sliding down
between and joining them, thus mak
ing a water tight barrier of unlimited
length that could be driven into the
hardest clay.
While what Is known as the Wake
field system of sheathings, built of lum
her, can only be used once In the mak
ing. of cofferdams ami necessitates nc
much expense in pulling it up after its
purposes are completed as it does tc
put it down, the new invention can lit
removed without any trouble, the inter
secting parts sliding out of their
grooves very easily.
The steel beams can also be driven
into bottom soil without any danger of
splitting or parting, and they can be se
cured in any lengths from one foot tc
Bft. Mr. Jackson's Invention of curved
plates enables the wall to be made at
any angle, and the hollow portions of
the channel bars can be left as they art
or tilled with moss, clay or cement.

earthly and heartrending its sobs the bet
ter they seem to be pleased. For a great
funeral all the beggars and ragamuffins
and impudent small boys in the vicinity
are Iwred. They are decked out in
tawdry clothes, or perhaps their rags are
not even disguised in any way, but they
are at least given banners to carry and
are hired to wail and sob as if their
hearts were breaking. The dull, indiffer

roguish, miseliievous smiles on the boys'
faces belie their wails and give a very
unreal air of hypocritical sorrow to the

has been tried by which the waters will
become luminous. A sort of golden yel
low will alone be employed, but the
waters will assume the appearance of
cascades of diamonds and topazes. The
effect will be attained by means of
electric lights and colored glasses plac
ed around the basins in such a way
that the beauty of the fountains will
not be diminished when seen bv day
light. ,
The End Surprised tl in.
Always read a letter to the < sd and
hear a story to the end before you are
too much elated or depressed.
A popular physician was much pleased
with a certain aerated water and by his
assiduous recommendation procured for
it a celebrity it justly deserved. The
doctor acted solely in the interest of hu
manity generally and expected no return.
To his surprise there came one morn
ing an effusive letter from the company
Btating that his recommendations had
done them so much good that they "ven
tured to send him a hundred" —
Here die page came to an end.
"This will never do," said the doctor.
"It is very kind, but I could not think
of accepting anything."
Here he turned the page and found the
sentence ran:
—"of our circulars f<>r distribution." —
London Tit-I!its.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
Maude Adams has sailed for Europe
to spend the summer in rest in France.
It is said that Mary Anderson will
shortly appear in Loudon in a new
play.
There is no truth in the report that
Lotta contemplates returning to the
stage.
A letter written by John Wilkes
Booth was sold at auction in Boston
last week for sl2.
The Norfolk (Neb.) Opera House is
being sold by lottery. Fifteen thou
sand tickets at $1 each are being circu
lated.
A theater for colored people exclu
sively, at which only colored talent will
appear, is likely to be opened in Chica
go soon.
"Foxy Grandpa," a musical comedy
founded upon newspaper cartoons,
will be exploited in New York early
next season.
"The Queen's Double," the Marie An
toinette play just produced in London
by Mi i Janette Steer, is described as
trash by almost every critic who has
written about it.
Clyde Fitch had an offer of SIO,CHiO
for his royalty interest in "Lovers'
Lane," the New York success, the night
of its production. He is glad now he
refused the offer.
Pietro Mascagni, announcement of
whose American tour was made some
time ago, will leave for this country on
Oct. 15, accompanied by an orchestra
of SO. The tour will last eight weeks.
Daisy Leighton of the Alice Nielsen
Opera company, now in London, is
writing a novel called "A Child of Ro
mance," telling of the experiences of
an American chorus girl in the British
metropolis.
It is among the possibilities that
James K. Ilackett and his wife, Mary
Mannering; E. 11. Sotliern and Mrs.
Sothern, all playing at the head of dif
ferent attractions, will be opposed to
each other at the opening of next sea
sou in New York.
AMONG THE TEXTILES.
A new field for our cotton cloths has
been found in Madagascar.
In silk ribbofis America now makes
6n per cent of the annual consumption
in this country, the import being only
10 per cent.
A 33 1-3 per cent reduction in the val
uation of wool for export has been or
dered in Argentina. The low price of
wool there has caused a paralysis in
that industry.
At the present time a safe estimate of
the relative supply of silk fabrics in
the American market Is 75 per cent by
our domestic mills and 25 per cent by
our foreign rivals.
Shipments of raw cotton from the
United States to the orient will be
greatly affected by immense purchases
of Bombay cotton recently made by the
Cotton Spinners' union, embracing the
largest cotton manufacturers in Japan.
FOWLS AND THEIR FRUIT.
Always feed sound grain. It pays
iu the end.
I.aril rubbed freely on the legs w
remove scabs.
While chickens may be raised at all
seasons of the year, the system of man
agement should vary with the seasons.
A well fed and well cared for fowl
is always in prime condition, and a lit
tle extra feeding tit any time will tit it
for the table.
If the guinea chicks are hatched by
hens in the poultry house, they will be
tamer. They are excellent foragers
and insect destroyers.
When the fowls have all the char
coal they need, the results are readily
noticeable in the bright color of the
comb and wattles and activity dis
played by the fowls.
It is certainly a wild claim to make
for any breed that they lay the largest,
richest, the most and best eggs. Each
breed has its merits, but none can
make and hold this claim.

Mrs. Sleepyize—Henry, the alarm
