i Slow Jitars. Much that is not very important is put into the newspapers nowadays; but the ideas of the more ancient editors as to what is really worth telling, were very defective indeed as much their means of getting news and sending Wendell Phillips in a lecture deliv ered in New York citv. noted the wnn derful growth and power of the press in the direction of journalism. This is an agent of civilization that has developed Kiuviiy wiuuu mij years. The account of 'the battle of Waterloo, which, .runups said, was the grandest eeut ouciuropean History in this cen tury, occupied only one-third of a col umn of the London Times. f!nmiinw with this journalistic enterprise, that wiiicu lays .a lull-page history of the Ute massacre of ten persons in Colorado ueiore tne readers of our great dailies. Garrison was mobbed in Boston in lodo, and narrowly escaped being uaugeu. vuu an tlie files of the Boston papers of that vear before him TVIV. Phillips could not find auythin r like a ueianeci account ot the event, "which snook the city while it lasted." When President Harrison died in 1841, it took ten days for the news to reach Springfield, 111., from Washington, and men Auraliam JLmcoln disbelieved the report because it seemed impossible it couiu reach there so soon. Now in the newspapers you buy this afternoon you "may read the words Queen Victoria spoke to her Parliament since the sun rose in England,1 or what a congress of European representatives saici ana uiu on the banks ol the Jins phorus the evening before. As Phillips pertinently says: "The man who reads the paper has a telegraph wire that con nects him with the world, and the man that does not read might as well be "Robinson Crusoe on his island." iuo-IIill Chicken Houses. My life was saved by Warner's Safe Kidney ana liiver (Jure Is Jj'ikcly, bcima, Ala "Use Rose TPills. An Iowa correspondent writes to The American Poultry Yard: I have built several chicken houses in my day, having pitched my tent from time to time in sev eral different States. I first used the south end of a barn cellar as winter quar ters for my fowls, putting in windows to give plenty of light and heat. I have seen barn cellars very ill-suited for the purpose, being too damp for the confine ment of any animal, and I would not use one for this imrpose unless the site was dry and afforded a good southern expo sure. The next best chicken house that I am acquainted with is built into the south side of a hill .4 The front side is nearly all glass, with board shutters to close over the windows at night. Last winter Avhen the mercury stood 22 degrees lie low zero outside, it was 2 degrees above the freezing point inside this house. Another building was banked up to the eaves on the north and south sides and west end: four large windows iu the south sido of the roof, and door in east end. At night the windows were covered with straw mats and board shutters. In side, the building was lathed and plas tered, and the iloor covered with gravel. This house would be just the thing for a flat country, but where hills are plenty and handy, I should bund a side-hil house if I could not have a barn cellar But whatever stvle of house you mav conclude to raise your chickens in, have it constructed so that it will be warm enough without the use of artificial heat Stoves in ponltry houses are a nuisance any way, and in the long run will do more harm than good. Put in plenty o window glass, and the sun will warm your chicken houses cheaper than you can do it with wood or coal. rs O -r e - 2 w Ss p 55.
