To do this to the greatest advantage, one must know ' how to care for his fowls?to guard against, detect and cure disease; which fowls to save for breeding purposes, etc. The simplest and most satisfactory way of securing this knowledge is to buy It from some person who has made a success of fowl raising as a business. Such a book, giving the experience of twenty-five years, is obtainable for 25 i cents in stamps from the Book Pub- j lishing House, 134 Leonard St., New York City. It is an invaluable work. The life of one chicken saved would pay for the book several times over. The Short-Lived Dog. Surely it is by an unfortunate dispensation of nature that the dog, beyond all question the ehief friend of man among the other animals, should have a normal length of life which is no more, on a fair computation, than one-seventh of his own. There is no other figure which expresses the relative ages of man and his dog so well. The puppy of one year is about at the same canine age as the child of seven. At two years he is probably a little more advanced than a fourteen-year-old boy, but the canine age of three is very nearly equivalent to the human twenty-one. And so it continues through all the years of canine and of human prime respectively, the ratio fairly well preserved. It has to be admitted that the old age of the dog, thus computed, outlasts the old age of the man. One hears stories which seem to be fairly authentic of dogs living up to eighteen, and if we do hear stories of human beings living similarly up to 12 6, at least we do not believe them. But such an age for a doe is auite the extreme limit. The dog of ten years approaches the equivalent of the three score and ten which had been named as the fair end of the human creature's tether, and on the whole the multiplication of canine years by seven all through the stages of life gives the corresponding age of man better than any other figure given it.?Westminster Gazette. Old Frcnch Dial Ring. "A dial ring," said the cucio dealer. "A French dial ring of the eighteenth century. You can tell the time with it." The ring, of gold, was beautifully chased, and where the stone sparkles usually there was set a tiny sundial. "All you have to do," said the dealer, "is to stand in the right way, holding the dial so that the sun strikes it, and a tiny shadow will tell you. the hour. "Such a ring," he continued, "is more a curio than an accurate timepiece. It is only good in the locality it is made for, and even there, unless it is set toward the right point of the | compass, it will be several Hours out of the way." ? Louisville CourierJournal.

This coat is one of the simplest and best and is made with the most becoming lines possible. It is adapted alike to the suit and separate coat, and is eminently to be desired for both. In this instance it is made of mahogany Mim colored brcadcioth with binding of black silk braid, but, while this binding is new and chic, stitched edges are quite correct. The pointed back is novel and desirable whenever it is becoming, but the coat can be made round at that point, and each wearer should choose the style that suits her the better. Sleeve length, too, is to be determined by each wearer, both full and three-quarter being correct. All seasonable suitings and cloakIngs are appropriate. The coat is made with front,s, sidefronts, backs, side-backs and underarm gores, and is finished with regulation collar and lapels. The sleeves are made in two pieces each, with I roll-over cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and seveneighth yards twenty-seven, two and five-eighth yards forty-four or two ! and one-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide, with five and one-half yards of braid. Lace Fichu Kimono. The lace fichu draped in kimono fashion will be seen more during the season, without doubt. It is of generous length, put on so that it falls well down over the shoulders and 1 tops of the arms and is held at the waist line by the girdle under which it passes. The ends should reach nearly to the hem of the skirt. It is one cf the new fancies to dye scarfs of this order the same shade as the skirt with which they are to be worn and wear them over a white lingerie or lace waist. Fancy Bcngaline Bags.

' Each new variation of the over , blouse seems a bit more attractive , than the last, and each one is certain j to find a place in the wardrobe. This : one is novel in many of Its features 1 and is graceful and becoming, yet j by no means extreme. The modified kimono sleeves give breadth, while j they are shapely and becoming, ana the tucks are so arranged as to give the best possible lines to the figure. As illustrated, the material is pongee in a very beautiful shade of amethyst, while the trimming is velvet and embroidery worked onto the material. The over blouse, however, is appropriate for both the separate waist and for the gown, and for almost every material used for garments of the sort. Everything fashionable is thin and soft and consequently all can be tucked with success. Trimming always can be varied to suit individual taste, and the necessities of the special occasion. Velvet is being extensively used and always is handsome, but appliques are offered by the score, and soutache applique is one of the newest and best liked of all trimmings. In place of the embroidery medallions of separate motifs could be utilized, or the material could be left plain. The over blouse is made with fronts and backs that are tucked over the shoulders and gathered at the waist line. It can be closed at either the front or back. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is two and onehalf yards twenty-one, two and onequarter yards twenty-seven or one and one-quarter yards forty-four inches wide with four and one-quarter yards of liauding and one-quarter yard^)f velvet for the belt to trim as illustrated. 1HE rPULrPl1, \ BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. Subject: Crime of Unhappiness. Brooklyn, N. 7.?Dr. Charles E. Locke returned to his pulpit in the Sanson Place Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday. Dr. Locke's subject ivas "The Crime of Unhappiness; or, Where Happiness May be Found." tfis. text was Isaiah 35:10: "They SL1U11 UDUcllU JUJT auu giauuess, auu sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Dr. Locke said in the course of his sermon: Jt is our duty to be happy, it is our 'ight to be happy. The philosopher's stone, which can transform all the Jross of life into purest joys, is hope, The fabled fountain which will injure eternal youth and beauty is contentment. True happiness is not only i duty and a right, but it is a possible possession; it is the sure prize af those who seek aright. The rapt prophet Isaiah boldlj foretells the time when the people 'shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away," and "everlasting joy shall be upon their heads." The radiant promises if the Word of God are not to torture and to tantalize mankind into woes and slaveries more abject, but are intended to awaken our lethargic natures and somnolent consciences that we may be aroused to claim oui high and holy and happy estate. Unhappiness is a crime against God and our fellows, as well ars against ourselves. There is an intricate and exquisite conspiracy in the universe to make men happy. There are carnivals ol beauty, panoramas of splendor, oratorios of music, laughing waters. lancing 6unbeams, singing birds chanting seas, delicious fruits and enchanting flowers. Nature is nol cruel, health is contagious, there is s survival of the fittest. "The common course of things is in favor ol happiness; happiness is the rule, misery the exception." As God made the sun to shine and the flowers to bloom and the seas to ebb and flow, bo He made man tc be happy. "If any man is unhappy,' said a wise man, "this must be his own fault, for God made all men tc be happy." The very law of oui being is happiness. A crime is ar offence against the laws of God and man; unhappiness is such an offence; hence a crime. Happiness may be discovered ii life's activities?in unremitting en deavor, not in the bluster and hast< which enervate and defeat, but in th< constant use of our capacities. Un rest and atrophy occur when ener gies are allowed to become stagnant An aimless life is always an unhappj life. Leisure and rest have exquisit< flavor where they are the punctuatior points of duties faithfully dischargec and ambitions steadily realized. Ac tivity defies infirmity, and octogena rians like John Wesley and Join Whittier, Gladstone and Pope Lec XIII hold old age at bay while the] elaborate the closing achievements o: eventful careers. The benevolentl] inclined young lady who cut off th< tail of the pollywog to hasten th< stages of its evolution wept in dis may when she found she had endec the life of the little dismemberec creature. It needed the labor of get ting rid of its tail to develop strengtl for the responsibilities of its promo tion. If there are stunted growth! and undeveloped lives among th< youth of these prosperous decades may it not be that our educationa and domestic methods are affordini too much assistance, or ease, or lux ury to these little human pollywogs' Every faculty of our being is madi more robust by constant and sensibl* activity. To be able to bring thing to pass conduces to true happiness. What real .ioy is stored away in ; good book! Study may be found ai unfailing source of pleasure. Thi culture of the mind brings forth thi flower and the fragrance and thi fruitage of our intellectual natures Truth invigorates; it makes buoyan and youthful. Truth is never old never discordant. Then, too, wha perennial fountains of sparkling hap piness are music and art and poetry And what shall be said about nature If people would be happy, they mus get out of doors. God made thi heavens, but man made the houses Many houses are devices of Satan t< shut man away from his God. A3 nature is redolent of divinity. It i hard for a naturalist to be an un believer. Some great nature student have despised creeds, but it was be cause their great God was too might; to be bounded and measured by man' dialectical tape line or foot rule. Le us get out of doors. God, music might and men are out of doors, am if we would be happy we must asso ciate much with the world outside for we have a divine commission t( subdue the earth. The "flower ii the cranied wall" has yet many beau tiful lessons to the thoughtful visi tor. Like the story of Edward Row land Sill, let us fling open the win dows of our grim towns and let ii the "gust of sunshine and the sum mer scent of rose, and be sure tha the window sill stands open and shal never be shut again!" Exquisite happiness is found ii life's" true friendships. The widov of Schumann says that whenever sh< was to play in public any of her hus band's music, she would read ove and over again the dear love letter: he had written her during his life All true love is divine, and what wi call human love i9 really divine love and is one of our earthly facultie which is the sure prophecy of th< estate of infinity to which we ar< going, as it is the token of the in finite heart from which we hav< sprung. No man can be truly happ: who does not love or is not trul: loved. The greatest of these i9 love Happiness is always found in ser vice. He who would be "happy' nmnnn. 1T/\11 na uroll ?JO "ho to h n wnnlr be chief among you, must be the ser vant of all." When the old Frencl nobility chose as their motto, "No blesse Oblige," they simply accentu ated one of the finest principles o the social organism, that "rank oi privilege is obligation." Autocracies feudal systems, wars and all selfisl ambitions must gradually go dowi before such a sceptre. He who is no capable of serving is not capable o: joy. Any man who wears u>du hi! helmet "Ich Dien" will soon have i crown and a kingdom. Since all clouds have a silver lin Ing and every dark shadow a brigh side, for there would be no shadowt if there were no sun, if any one woulc be happy, he must look for the brigh' side. It may be his duty, unlike th< eun dial, to mark other than th( bright hours, but he will not be wis< unless he adopts the motto of a ven * ?1- ;~T PA/ erauie jangusn uisuui;, vc Uui and be cheerful." It is hard to per euade some people to be Christians when it is seen that occasionally the most unhappy and most disagreeable People pose io a .community as Chris tians. One of the first things true religion does for people is to make it possible for people to live with them. It may be probable that fault-finding and complaining people will escape u..i n. tliot thnsfl purgaiui j?, um n 10 m MIU who have to live with them do not. I am sure God has a special crown of heauty in heaven for those people who are compelled to live on earth with disagreeable people. In possessing Christ as our life i and our truth and our way, we have I a specific for the world's unrest and : care and a sure prescription for happiness. He was a wise and skillful doctor who, when one of his patients described to him her symptoms, wrote this prescription for her: "Go ' home and read your Bible for an hour i every day." I notice that somebody is proposing that the office of priest and physician be combined. I should i have no objection if there could be i a corresponding doubling of time and , capacity. There is no doubt that soul sickness is the cause of much of . the world's ailment. Christ came to r heal \he world's woes, and the bur. dens of humanity contemplate that i men shall be wise enough to accept divine help in carrying the loads > which would not have been laid upon , the race without a Great Burden I Bearer. It must be remembered that ' true happiness is a celestial exotic, as i Sheridan sings: i True happiness is not the growth of i earth, i The soil is fruitless if you seek it s there; ! 'Tis an exotic of celestial birth, i And never blossoms but in celestial air. Sweet plant of paradise! Its seeds [ are sown Tn here and there a breast of heav enly mold, * ! It rises slow and buds, but ne'er was s known To blossom here?the climate is too cold. > And however Bobbie Burns may > have failed to fulfill in his own pa1 thetic career the theology of his songs, it was not because his lips or 1 his lyre lacked the true gospel of happy and useful living: 1 It's no in titles nor in rank; It's no in wealth like London bank, , To purchase peace and rest. It's no in making muckle mair, .$>> It's no in books; it's no in lear, ; To make us truly blest. If happiness hae not her seat 3 And centre in the breast, I We may be wise, or rich, or great; But never can be blest. 1 In the advent the angel said he brought good tidings of great joy. David sang long ago, "Happy is that j people whose god is the Lord!" The Christian religion has set the world > to singing. Christianity is truth set 2 to music. Sin and death go out of * the world when Christ and life come in. A little boy understood his father to say that children should be'brought 'r up in the "fear and ammunition" of j the Lord. There is an old classical j adage that "Every lover is a sol1 dier." Horace dedicated to his favorite deity his lyre, his torch and his bow. So if we would be happy j we must be useful; knights of the j Cross, armed with the shield of faith , and the sword of the Spirit, and girt f with the truth according to Jesus J Christ! I "Lying Spirits." Some noteworthy admissions were i made by several speakers at the an1 nual Convention of Spiritualists held . in London recently. The secretary 1 of the Union, in a speech of medium ship, warned his hearers that there s were grave dangers attending the 2 practice. Two city gentlemen who , also gave their testimony, admitted 1 that a "spirit' had grossly deceived * them. By several professional Spirit ualists it is freely admitted that lying ? spirits may deceive even the "elect." 2 The history of Spiritualism leaves no e doubt that these "lying spirits" have s been very numerous. Then what can be the value of communications from * the other side which are thus imperii iipd ? "What guarantee has any one j e that the truth is being told? I e To certain people there is a great e fascination in the idea of communii. eating directly with the "beyond." t But what information has ever [ , reached us from the other side that is t really trustworthy, or of any practi cal use? From an intellectual and evidential point of view, there is ? nothing less satisfactory than the ret suits of Spiritualism. On the other e hand, according to Spiritualists themi. selves, there are grave dangers at3 tending the medium. j 1 The Bible, in forbidding medium- | s ship is our friend. God does not wish I - His children to be at the disposal of 1 8 lying spirits. He has told us all that - it is necessary to know in this life, I 7 and if men refuse that word, they will s not be persuaded though one rose t from the dead.?London Christian. * A Prayer. 0 my God, Thou wert In my heart, ^ and requiredst nothing but a turning 3 of my mind inward to Thee to make . me feel Thy presence. O Infinite . Goodness, Thou wert so near, and I . ran hither and thither to seek Thee, . but found Thee not. My life was a 3 burden, though my happiness was . within me. I was poor in the midst t of riches, and starving with hunger ] near a table spread with dainties and near a continual feast.?Mme. Guyon. 3 v The Golden Role. 5 This civilization makes me think - sometimes that things are tending to* r ward the practice of the Golden Rule. 9 Yet how far away from it are we. If among Christ's people, with wealth s in their hands, this rule was prac> ticed; if these people would devote a their inheritance toward the advanceb ment of the kingdom, as Christ did, 5 how far we would advance along the " true line.?Rev. A. J. McKelway, - Presbyterian, Charlotte, N. C. V _ 1 Peace, Quietness, Rest.

W. Robertson. i How to Know Christ. ? This is the way to know Christ?to 1 stand still and look at Him, not to 3 argue about Him. . . . Look at His 1 religion, so human, yet so divine; a religion for this world, and the other * world, too; a religion which loves God by loving man; a religion not of ? dogma, ceremony, anxious fears, but . of trust, obedience and generous s love.?James Freeman Clarke. j Gleams in Life's Patterns.

A comparison has recently been made of the power of the lights in French lighthouses at various periods in the past thlrty-flve years. In 1874, when only oil lights were used, the highest power was equal to 54,000 candles. In 1882, when the electric light was introduced, the power rose to a maximum of 820,000 candles. Since then frequent improvements have been made in the electric lights until, at present, the most powerful lighthouses project an illumination nearly equal to 3,000,000 candles. The Dog in War. Another field of usefulness has been found for the dog in war. He is already employed as a scout. He is now to serve in the ambulance corps.
