DISEASED POULTRY SOLD IN OPEN MARKET. White Tteitlnx a relative In a dlataat city the family physician made this unusual request: *‘I understand you are an expert ou hen health, and I am come to a£k you n favor. I have sov- eral very particular patients, and their nurses have found it difficult to se cure p*od squab# and chickens. 1 hare .therefore volunteered to purchase them, and I am anxious to have you accompany me to market.” “Weil, what do you think of the jKMiltry on display?” asked our friend. ••Fair.” we answered, “but it would have been better if some had not died before they were kilted.” Our enigmatical reply puzzled the physician for a moment, and then be demanded. “Do you mean to assert that some of this poultry died of dis ease and was then dressed T* “That is the exact meaning,'' we re plied. We hurriedly returned to the booth where the diseased specimens had been detected, aad then they hung, slimy and blue, on the hooks, while customers crowded around the stall The physician quickly tamed to the dealer and, pointing to two fowls In question, asked, "An those fresh killed chickens?" "Bun," said the martetman; "Just fresh this morning." The doctor purchased them, took the booth number, and we went on.

We remained long enough in that city to see the unscrupulous dealer heavily fined and to receive a request from the board of health to give such information to, the public that they might be safeguarded in buying poul try and that they might be able to discern the symptoms of disease In dressing fowls at home.

Henry proved his words by bis deeds. As soldier, as leg islator, as governor of Virginia and in all capacities to which be was called be showed metal that rang true. Yet Patrick Henry as a boy and youth was considered a ne’er-do-well. He was a red beaded, aiouchy. ungain ly youngster, caring little for school and much for boyish adventures In wonderland.

When Fred erick was a small boy lie wa# sent to Baltimore to work In a shipyard. There he managed to get a little schoo!lug. Not always is a little learning a dan gerous thing, though In Frederick’s case It did prove dangerous to hte own er from a commercial point of view.. Healthy, befty slaves In tbose days were worth a matter of a thousand dol lars apiece. The little book learning acquired by the aiave boy put Into hla head the determination to become free. He escaped to the disguise of a sailor and made hla way to Massac bn setts, where he read and studied to such ad vantage that when he reached the age of twenty-four he was able to deliver a lecture at an antislavery convention in Nantocket which brought him an in vitation to go to England and deliver lecture# on the. slavery problem In America.
