MEGS. the Best, Purest Pimples early Stagea of a Very Profitable Industry In the United Etates. The fields are all fenced in with wire netting with two-inch meshes, and from the surface, in which it is securely embedded, it rises to a height of ten feet. In the summer-time one jan hear the musical "peeping" of the little fledglings, and the answering "clucking" of the mother hen, with an occasional cry from the co*cks in the breeding pens as something startles them. The noise they make sounds like the first tentative efforts of a young rooster, except that whereas the latter flaps his wings and crows afterwards, the former "drums," and then sounds his note.
In drumming they move their wings so rapidly that they seem like gauze. The laying season begins about the middle of April, and before that time all the birds that are wanted for this purpose are caught from the open field; where they have run all winter, and put in huge pens. These are eighteen feet square, or thereabouts, and are arranged in one large rectangle, with alleys between each alternate double row, so that access can.be had to them through doors or gates left in the wire meshing for that purpose. The corners are darkened with waterproof hoods smeared with a disinfecting mixture, as indeed is everything about the place. These retreats are for the birds to lay under.
The pens being in an apple orchard, the leaves afford shade, and worms and larvae also, for the insatiable crops beneath. Clumps oi grass are left to grow about in spots, the rest of the ground being loosened to encourage "bathing" and scratching. Five hens are put with one co*ck, and unless they do not get along well together, the family is not disintegrated until the end of the season and not then for all are kept in one field. Birds one year old are preferred for laying, the older ones being sold oIT to preserves where they will be less confined. Two or three years in such mall quarters make a difference in their powers of propagation, but they recuperate rapidly in the woods.
Great care is exercisea in choosing neanny birds, but if a weak one should be dis- verd and they are rare his neck is wrung on the spot, for Mr. Da Guisa lias no hospital for contagious dis eases, fticijness, to reiterate, is not frequent enough to require one. The manner of catching the birds to put in the pens is simple. They are driven into a large box. commodious enousrh to allow two attendants to get inside omfortably, with the top and sides covered with bagging to prevent in jury to the captives in their efforts to jseape.
ule "wings of wire netting xtend out into the field from the en trance to the box, and when a man is sent to walk slowly towards the birds ill within thi radius of the wings run widly to their fate. They do not try to fly unless startled, but their legs jarry them along very fast. Once inside they are handed out one at a time to have a wing clipped. Even in this condition they make strenuous at tempts to fly when alarmed in the pens, turning ludicrous somersaults in the air, only to come down unceremoniously and try again. The average hen will lay about forty in the interval from the beginning af the season to tha middle of July, when it is practically over.
During this period the birds are fed twice a Jay in the forenoon on a mixture of tracked dog-biscuit, meal and pulver ized oyster shells, softened with milk, and in the afternoon the diet is changed to grain. With the appearance of the first eggs attendants begin to go around in the late afternoon, near sunset, with flat-bottomed baskets in which to col lect tn em. ins is aone every day, as regular as clockwork, for the hatching is not done by the pheasants, but by common barnyard hens. Several weeKs Derore me nrst eggs are laid the farmers in the neighbor hood are notified that sitting hens will be needed at tha pheasantry, and soon after All-Fools day they begin to bring in all their surplus stock. These are purchased at market prices and con fined in ventilated boxes arranged in tiers inside the barn, the hens bein satisfied to sit on porcelain eggs until needed for actual utility.
When the pheasants have supplied enough eggs, the work of putting the latter down is begun. Back of the barn, on a gentle slope, are long rows of oblong coops, each one consisting of a closed box with a removable lid for the nest, and a diminutive yard a few square feet in area for the hen to exercise 'in, This is enclosed by wire netting, and provided with a separate drinking pan of earthenware. From fifteen to eigh teen eggs are set in each nest, the number depending upon the size of the hen, which may be a bantam or flyinouttt hock, sne is very large she may take twenty, for they are smaller than her own, light green in color, and so rich that only their ex- pensiveness precludes their coming into general use for salads and mayon naises. Each one is tested to see that it is not cracked, and the date of the setting is marked on the top of the nest-box. The period of incubation is twenty-four days, and should, in the daily inspection, any hen show a dis position to snirK ner a ties, sne is promptly disqualified, and another is substituted.
But generally they are assiduous, and remain at their post! till the end. When the young birds begin to ap pear, before the nrst of June, the constantly increasing duties of the attend' ants reach their maximum. Every evening the coops are examined to collect the little peepers, from whence they are transferred in baskets to one of the enclosed fields, in which light wooden coops are set down in regulax rows in the grass. Around each of them is a little space fenced in with boards, and while the foster-mother is secured inside, the chicks can run ont between the slats into this yard. By the time they have become strong enough to leap the low walls of the prison, they have also learned to know the "cluek" of their protector, and where to come back at nightfall.
Six times a day they are fed on a sort of custard, made of cracked pheasant eggs and milk from which the whey has been When two months old they are trapped and removed to another field, having no farther need for the shelter of their mother's wings. The number of feedings is gradually reduced in the mean time to three a day, and the food becomes more substantial by the addition of grain. They grow wilder every day, and it is difficult to get more than a momentary glimpse ot them as they dart through the grass, rustling the blades like a summer breeze. By October the early birds have attained to nil growth, passing the winter undisturbed and with need for little care. The only discomfort they undergo is in the traps when their wings are clipped.

She writes to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, a. as follows "I was troubled with eczema, or salt-rheum, seven years.
I doctored with a number of our home physicians and received- no benefit whatever. I also took treatment from physicians in Rochester, New York, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Binghamton, and received no benefit from them.

For Team She Had Buffered Unutterable Palm, Bnt at Last a Simple Remedy Sectored Her to Complete Health.
From tbe Kansas City (Ma) Star. In the eastern part of Jackson county, on a fertile farm three miles northeast of Lake City, lives Mrs. Ruth Bush from whom a reporter for The Star obtained yesterday an interesting account of her escape from the grave. Escapes from sudden death are not more thrilling than this escape, where slow, cruel, prolonged agony was endured and where rescue came when the racked frame could almost endure no more and the hour of despair had come. For many years Airs.
Bush and her family of three children have lived, respected by all who knew them, on the Bush farm ad joining that of ex-County Judge Chiles, who corroborates all Mrs. Bush had to say. I felt that my end was very near," said Mrs. Bush. "For nine years I had suffered with female complaints, and to these was added neuralgia for the past three years.
I had awful throbbing pains in my ears first in one and then the other. Last August the pains in my head nearly drove me crazy. Last winter I became unable to walk across the floor, and I took to bed. No one can describe the fearful pains I suffered. I grew worse than ever -before.
Oh, it was terri ble," and Mrs. Bush sighed wearily as she thought of her past sufferings. "But now it is all different," continued Mrs. Bush, brightening up, her face glow-, ing with new-brought health. "I was saved when I had concluded that death was cer tain, and that the sooner it came the better.
It chanced that a little newspaper item attracted my attention to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It told how a case somewhat similar' to mine had been cured. I sent for a box and not long after beginning the use of the pills I began to experience relief. Then I continued to take them until I was entirely cured.
I now have five boxes in the house to' use should I need them. I am perfectly restored to health, and am able to go about my household duties with ease and comfort. I thank the good Lord for having put it in the mind of Dr. Williams to invent such a wonderful medicine. Oh, yes I forgot to tell how I was attended by Dr.
Kenyon, of Buckner, who gave my case up as hopeless after doing all he could to help me." "That's- so," said little Fannie Bush, standing near. "Mamma told us she didn't expect to stand it much longer, but the medicine cured her and we are all so glad. Mamma wrote a letter to the company say-ing what good the medicine did her, so that others might see it and have their sufferings relieved." Ye3," commented Mrs. Bush, "I told Fannie that people should always show their gratitude and help others whenever they can, and I hope what I have said about my case may assist others." Ex-County Judge Chiles said this case cer tainly showed that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were a remarkable remedy.
He never expected to see Mrs. Bush the well woman she now is. "Why, it is really marvelous," he said. Michael Vaughn, a neighboring farmer, said: "I didn't believe Mrs. Bush would ever get well.
Why, she was unable to walk for weeks, and it is almost like seeing a woman back from the grave to see her about at this time in good health and spirits." Dr. Kenyon, when asked about the case, said that if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had not cured Mrs." Bush he didn't know what had. The reporter on his return to Kansas Citv visited the various drug stores, and learned that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are not looked upon as a patent medicine, but rather as a prescription.

Chas. Heaton, 73 Laurel St, says: "I have had for years a humor in my blood which made me dread to shave, as small boils or pimples wonld be cut thus causing shaving to be a great annoyance.

"Never had any!" was the prompt reply. "Do you know anything about read ing?" "I read like lightning!" he answered. She handed him a reader, and said: "Let me hear you read." "Read right out loud?" "Yes." "I'm afraid it would disturb the chil dren!" he whispered. "Go on, and let me hear you read." He looked carefully at the page, scowled his brow, and read: "If I was a lame boy and didn't get any peanuts in my stocking Christmas, but I'd make things jump around the house next morning!" He handed back the book and the teacher asked: "Richard, how many are three and three?" "Three and three what?" he in quired. It's a good deal according to what it is," he replied, as he settled back.
"1 know that three and three cats don make a dog!" "Did you ever study geography, Ricb ard?" "Yes, mam." "What is geography?" "It's a book." "Is this world round or flat?" "Hills and hollers," he replied. "Richard, can you write?" "Write what?" "Can you write your name?" "I could, I suppose; but I've got my name without writing it." "Can you write a letter?" "Who to?" "To any one." "Yes, I could, if I had money to pay the postage." "Well, Richard," she said, despair, "you will have to go into the lower room, if you want to come to school aere. "I druther stay here." "But you can't." "I'll bet you this knife ag'in tei I can." She took him by the arm to remove aim, but he laid his hand on her shoul- ler and said in a warning voice: "Don't get me mad now, or I'll let Myself loose." She called the principal down, and as he approached the boy he demanded: "Boy, what are you doing here? "Gitting education," replied Richard. "You go right down stairs now!" continued the principal. "Well, don't sass me, for I never was here before!" replied Richard, slowly moving his legs as if he meant to get iown.
The principal took him by the collar and jerked him around, got kicked on the shin, and bitten on the wrist, and finally landed the young student on the walk. "Now you go home!" he shouted, as he tried to recover his breath. "Am I educated?" inquired Richard. "You seem to be. "Gimme a diplomy, then." "You clear out, or I'll have you ar rested." "Hain't I a scholar in this school no more?" "No, sir." "Who owns this schoolhouse?" de manded the boy.
"No matter you clear out." "Will you come out in the yard here where you can't hang to anything?" asked the boy. "Begone, I say!" "Don't draw no derringer on me!" warned the boy, as he backed off; "nor 3on't you think you can scare me with any of your bawie-knives!" The principal walked in and shut the door, and, after the new boy had stood there long enough to show that he wasn't afraid, he turned and walked off, growling to himself: "I'll git foreman of No. 6 to pound that feller afore he's a week Street and Smith's Good News. A CURIOUS SPRING. It Has Two Inlets bnt JJo Known Outlet for the Water.
Just outside of Joy, N. in Wayne sounty, is a spring which is undoubt-sdly unlike any other in the world in that it has no outlet, but has two in lets. Springs are usually the sources of streams. This one is just the oppo site. One rivulet flows from the south and discharges its' waters into the spring, and another little creek comes from the north and empties into it.
The latter stream is as clear as crystal. The one that comes from the south has water nearly as black as ink. This surious stream never The other one is the first water in all this region to freeze. Another singular thing about this spring is that water boils up from the sand that forms its bed. The sprinsr is only two feet wide and three feet deep, but a force pump worked steadily and rapidly in it for hours has failed to decrease its water supply in the slightest degree.
The mystery is, what becomes of the water of the stream? Fed by two streams and from an underground source and with no outlet, this spring has been an inexplicable thing from the time the original settlers reached that part of the lake country. N. Y. Timber Wasted In Sawdust. if a fourteen-inch log is to be converted into boards five-eights of an inch thick, twenty boards can be sawed from the log if the saw cuts but one-sixteenth of an inch between each plank.
Eighteen boards can be made if one-eighth of an inch is sawed away, and if three-sixteenths are lost only seventeen boards will be obtained. That is, the loss in the first case is 9 per in the second 17 per cent, and in the third 23 per cent, of the timber. If the log is twelve feet long the waste in sawdust will range from one and one-half cubic feet to nearly four cubic feet, and a single saw-frame, which cuts up fifty logs a day and works 250 days in a year, would convert from 20,000 to nearly 50,000 cubic feet of timber into sawdust every year. This large amount, at 25 cents a eubic foot, which is a fair average for pine, will represent in money (12,287. saw-blades, with carefully sharpened teeth, are therefore great factors in saving material, and every year "the need of such saving is becoming mors urgent Sawmill Gazette.
