THE BROILER.
A Branch of the l'onltry Huslneaa
That Can Me Mnile to i'uy.
In entering the broiler business the
most important requirement Is good
Incubators, as without them failure Is
sure. To accompany the Incubator one
should have first class brooders, and
of these the Indoor Is best, because you
can easily attach a regulator, thereby
guarding against smothering your
chicks. If you are a good Judge of the
amount of heat a lamp will throw out
when lit at night and left till morning,
you can with safety use outdoor brood
ers. Where many chicks are hatched
It Is best to adopt the compartment
brooder, heated by steam.
In ralslDg broilers they must have
warm, dry quarters. They mußt be
fed little and often a variety of food
and with lots of fresh, clean water.
Their food should contain lots of oil.
Sklmmllk is splendid. My broilers
cost from 20 to 40 cents a pair to raise,
and w hen selling fur 80 cents to $1.20
a pair I think It Is a paying business.
I give my chickens six square Inches
each lu the brooders and 18 square
Inches each in the yards. The brooder
Is raked out every morning while the
chicks are eating, and the yards are
swept with a wire broom every night
after they goto bed. In this manner
they are not frightened while the work
Is going on.
When I first began to raise broilers,
I almost gave It up In disgust. It
seemed I could not raise them success
fully. When I looked Into the matter,
I found they were crowded and that the
pens were not cleaned as they should
be. Matters were changed, and to my
astonishment my broilers then paid me
better than my layers. Constant at
tention brings success. I would rather
go without one of my meals every day
than see my broilers go hungry, while
I take pleasure lu seeing my layers on
the hungry side at all times.
As for sickness. It comes only a few
times a year. The most common ail
rncut Is leg weakness. The moment
this Is noticed the weak chick Is taken
off by Itself and fed about half as
much as It was getting. Iu nearly all
cases this chicken can be taken back
the second day. By this method no
weight Is lost. Remember w eight lost
one day cannot be regained In three.—

SAID BY THE LITTLE ONES.
iuiue Rrljclit TkhiKN Culled From the
Talk of \ oinmMtTN,
Little Catharine, aged 'J 1 -., years, was
one day examining her chubby hands
und, turning to her mother, said: "Mam
ma, I's dot to have some new hands.
Mine are full of holes."
A north side schoolboy, having good
uaturedly helped a classmate with a dif
ficult mathematical problem, was asked
by the teacher, "Why do you work his
lesson for him?" "To lessen his work,"
was the curt reply.
Little G-year-old Harry, while reading
a chapter of Genesis, paused and asked
his mother if people in those days used
to do sums oil the ground. He had been
reading the passage which says,"And
the sons of men multiplied upon the face
of the earth."
Johnny, aged -J, went into a nearby
grocery and asked for a box of canary
seed. "Is it for your mother?" asked the
grocer. "No, of course not," replied the
little fellow. "It's for the bird."
"What shall I say nut?" asked small
Harry, who was writing a letter to his
grandmother. "Well," replied his 4-year
old sister, "you might tell her that the
baby is now occupying my old shoes."
Little Kuth was visiting in the coun
try, and i>ne day she came running to the
house with an egg in her hand. "Oh,
grandma," she exclaimed, "here's an egg
I got out of a nest just as au old heu
was getting in. Isn't it lucky I saw. it
before she sat down on it?"
"Oh, mamma," exclaimed small Tom
my, "see how fat Aunt Ella has grown!"
"Yes, dear." said his mother, "but it isn't
polite to say 'fat.' You should s«_v
'stout.'" At the dinner table on the fol
lowing day Tommy was asked if he
would like some of the fat meat. "No,
thank you," he replied, "but you may
give me some of the stout."
Mildred, aged 4, came up stairs one day
and said, "Mamma, cook wants to know
what to have for supper." "Tell her to
have scrambled eggs, chipped beef, pic
kles, bread and butter, preserved cherries,
tea and cake," was the reply "Oh. mam
ma." exclaimed Mildred, "phase tell her
yourself. I'm afraid I'll lose part of it
on the stairs."
Tommy, aged 5, had a pony and a dog,
and, while he liked them both, he liked
the pouy best. One day a visitor, ton t
his generosity, asked him if lie would
not give him the dog. "No," replied the
little fellow, "but I'll give you my po>.v.''
'Phis surprised his mother very nr. h,
and she asked him why he didn't give
the dog instead. "Don't say a word,
mamma," whispered the little schemer.
"When he goes to get the pony, I'll 'sick'
the dog on him."—Chicago News.

ANDREE AND HIS COMRADES
Over Fonr lean Since Thry Disap
peared lu tlie Norlhem Sky.
There is no louger any hope of
Andree's returu, says the Chicago Rec
ord Herald's correspondent, writing
froui Truiiiso, Norway, under the date
of July 11. Scientific men in this coun
try and experienced ice pilots and
whalers all agree that he could not
have survived three months. They
place no faith in any of the messages
and signs alleged to have come from
hiin. It was Just four yeais ago this
very day, July 11, 1807, one clear after
noou, when the wind was in the right
quarter, that Audree summoned his
companions without ceremony, cut the
ropes that detained his aerial carriages
and soared away into the arctic sky.
\\ hatever may be thought about the
prudence and scientific practicability
of a voyage to the north pole In a bal
loon, there was never so sublime an ex
hibition of human daring, indiffer
ence to danger and death, as that
given by the young Swede and his de
voted companions, Fraenkel and
Strindberg. Having convinced himself
and them that there is a steady cur
rent of air, like the trade winds of the
tropics, from the boundaries of the
arctic circle to tlie pole, they staked
their lives on their faith, built a bal
loon and attempted to make the voy
age.
It must have been a remarkable
scene when tiiey departed. Andree bad
waited for favorable weather nearly
two weeks after his arrangements were
complete and was becoming very Im
patient when, as he came from dinner
011 the afternoon of the 11th of July,
he noticed with gratification that all
the conditions were favorable. He
hastily called his assistants, who made
rapid preparations for departure.
Within half an hour everything was
ready. Andree shook hands with all
the bystanders in a most solemn man
ner, thanked them in a few hearty
words for their interest and assist
ance, stepped coolly into his car, called
Fraenkel and Strindberg, who were
saying goodby to their friends, and cut
the ropes with his own hands. As the
last cord was severed and the balloon
rose heavenward, he leaned over the
edge of the car and shouted:
"Greetings at home to Sweden."
The three aeronauts waved their
caps until they disappeared Into an un
known world where the north wind
comes from.
The scaffolding built for Andree's
balloon and the cabins he used for his
workshops still stand on the edge of
the fiord, awaiting the disposition of
their absent owner, a melancholy re
minder which appeals to the sentiment
of the Norwegians, who will allow
them always to stand as a monument
to Andree, Fraenkel and Strindberg.

A CASE OF IT.

The following case is bnt one of many
similar occnred daily in Danville. It is
any easy matter to verify its correct
ness. Surely yon cannot ask for better
proof than such a conclusive evidence.
Mr. David D. Jones of 4(11 Church

cured me of an enervating backache
and lameness across my kidneys. 1
might say I had aching stitches just
over my aips, and later on 1 had a great
deal of pain through the top of my
head. Doan's Kidney Pills invigorated
the kidneys and though 1 did not use
them a great while, they cured me ami
I have no return of the trouble since.

Some Scimllile Ilaby Talk.
"My dear," said the young father,
"there is one request I want to make
of you."
"What Is it. dear?"
"I wish, dear, that you wouldn't talk
this baby talk to our child. It's ab
surd. The idea of saying 'kitchey
kitchey-kee' and 'whose whlzzicoons Is
oo?' ton human being is little less than
barbarous. Don't let the neighbors do
It either."
"I'll try not to, dear," she answered
patiently, "but It seems to amuse Dorjy
i so much."
"Don't call him 'Dorjy,' either. It's
| positively Idiotic. Ills name's George,
and there's no use of starting him out
in life with a vocabulary like a Poly
nesian national hymn."
"But he's a little fretful today and
wants to be amused."
"There are rational ways of amusing
a child. You can sing to him."
"I have been singing to him."
"Well, give liim to me, and I'll sing
to him awhile."
She passed the baby over, and lie pro
ceeded to do his best with the "Torea
dor's Song" and the "Bedouin Love
Song" and various other selections.
The baby persisted In whimpering. He
continued to sing, and presently the lit
tle one began to smile. In a little while
the little one was fast asleep.
"You have quieted him beautifully,"
the mother admitted. "By the way,
what was that song you sang over and
over again? It is so tuneful and live
ly."
"Haven't you heard that?" he asked
in astonishment. "It's from the latest
comic opera, and it's a corker. The
chorus goes:
"Toodledy, foodledy, up-idec,

The I'all Mall Gazette tells the fol
lowing remarkable egg story:
"A Scarborough gentleman was rath
er bewildered the other morning to find
no fewer than 38 common pins and a
shoemaker's brass sprig Imbedded In
the white of Ills breakfast egg. Tho
egg had been bought In the Scarbor
ough market, and it seems that one or
two other eggs purchased there about
the same time have been found to con
tain two or three pins each. The ex
traordinary egg Is being preserved In
spirits by a Scarborough naturalist."
What a strange taste the hen that
laid that egg must have had! It Is now
In order for Bome one to rise to demon
strate that such a thing is an utter Im
possibility. Some people are so practi
cal that they would spoil any good sto
ry for the sake of physiological accu
racy.
Nature has just one pigment on her
pullette with which produces all the
marvelous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell like
pink beneath the finger nails, the deli
cate rose of the cheek, the cherry ripe
ness of the lips,the irride.sceiit brilliance
of the eyes are all produced by the
blood. Just as the permanence <>f a
beautiful painting will depend upon the
purity of the colors with which it is
painted, so the permanence of beauty
depends on tin purity of the blood.
Paint, powder and (*>sinetics won' avail
to preserve beauty. Beauty begins in
the blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is a trne beantifier, because it
provides for nature that pure blood with
which alone she can paint. The use of
this medicine will cleanse the skin,
heighten the complexion, brighten the
eyes, and give to face and form that ra
diance of health which is the greatest
charm of beauty. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are very effective in ridding the
system of clogging residuum, which ;ic
cumulates with constipated habit.

A Gray C hecked Contnmr,
Indefinable checks appear on some of
the new cloths. A stunning gown is of
gray homespun, and the check Is of the
name shade, while the collar is of,
white panne embroidered with pale |
blue and dark and light gray chain
machine stitching. The blouse worn 1
beneath It Is of foulard in pale blue
patterned with gray and white, while
the skirt Is cut In a corselet style, with
the center of this sloping downward,
making a sort of V, whence the folds
of the bodice emerge becomingly.
Corselets are lulled \ erj- tr„\liijs to the
figure. One's waist needs to be round,
and then, too, one's figure above should
be round without being full, and It
would be better If the shoulders were
square than sloping. A very pretty hat
goes with this costume. It is made of
folds of gray tulle, with stripes of
white straw sewed upon it, and the
crown Is again of tulle, with a single
fjulll resting across the top held with a
steel ornament, while beneath the brim
Is a bow of black velvet ribbon.

things are for wear not only with an

A DcNfrinl City.
"The Deserted City" would be a good
sobriquet for Washington at this peri
od of the later summer and particular
ly this year. Probably a census of the '
people now in the city by comparison
with the regular midwinter population
would show a li s- startling disparity
than a tour about the hotels end do- ,
part men ts would lead one to expect.
The everyday population is doubtless
here in nearly full force, little dimlu
Ished in number by vacation or other
absences, but in flic so called official
circle the effect of the season's wane Is
very marked.

"Wandering Willies" is the title ap
plied by census office clerks to the .
clerks detailed as inspectors to see that
the other clerks expend the whole of
the t,i!hours they are engaged in the
office attending to government busi
ness and nothing else. Owing to the '
necessity of completing a large part of
the census work before congress meets
Director Men iam lias been compelled
to employ over o,<h»> clerks, and to pre
vent waste of time certain clerks in
some of the divisions have been detail
ed as inspectors. With 3,000 employees
the loss of even 15 minutes a day for
each one spent in idle conversation,
reading newspapers or writing person- j
al letters, as is customary in the other j
departments of the government, would
mean a hiss of 730 hours, or the work
ing time of 11clerks. As the clerks
average SOOO per annum the monetary
loss of their services were each one to
idle away 15 minutes a day would be
$103,500.
Supreme Conrt fhnmher'n New ltool'.
If the nine justices of the United
States supreme court were to walk in
to their courtroom at the capitol today,
It would be difficult for them to repress
the shock they would receive. As till
roads lead to Ilome, so all traditions
of the supreme court lead to one senti
ment, and that is a reverence for the .
past and a veneration of everything
spiritual or material that has come
from generations that have passed
away. If the justices were to visit
their courtroom, they would find It u
mere shell, without furnishings, with
its board flooring torn up and its roof
being demolished, with only a rough j
board scaffolding between the brick
floor and the sky. Never before in the j
history of the chamber has it been In
vaded by the spirit of improvement.

Shirt ( out Didn't Go,
The shirt coat, a new style of sum
mer wear for letter carriers which met
the approval of the postmaster gen
eral, has proved a flat failure, it was
several weeks ago pronounced the cor
rect warm weather garb for the car
riers. The supposition was that it
would become popular and be adopted
In all the large cities. Many of the
carriers here tried the ncyv garment,
but soon abandoned it. They could not
undergo the ridicule anil derision of the
fcinall boy and returned tu the old fasli
loned uniform nr wore a plain gray
tliirt.
Representatives Charles Curtis and J.
M. Miller of Kama are iu the city.
"Mr. Miller and myself came t. Wash
ington to; flier and partly on the same
business," said Mr Curtis. "There
have been many applications for rural
free delivery roub sin our state, and
we ask tin imtnciiiab dispatch of two
special agcuts of the d. partment to our
state to lay nut tin routes already peti
tioned for We an assured of early
action on our request."
