The rule which r.pplies to tin syace is the decimal, says P. II. .laeobs the poultry specialist, who explains a. follows in The Rural New Yorker: A tliK'k of 10 hens should have a llnoi space of 10() mpiare fivt (allnwinir cacl 10 siputre feet), bo that of course a houst a cnr.Ap ant) coNVEVtr.vr nr.siiot sr. 10 by 1I feet woulil be netn'.e.l. Tlieynnl should lm 10 times larger than the houses hence for 10 hens the house should he h by 10 feet and the yard 10 by fno feet though the yard ituiy Is; of any preferred shape and may contain more space, but should not be less than the area men tinned. The nearer to the sipiaru form the cheaper the cost of the house in pro portion to the space secured. A very convenient poultry house for n small flock may be built of yellow pirn boards, rabbeted (barn boards), nailed uj and down to 3 by 4 piires, the Innp-e tc be 10 feet stpiare, H feet hitrh in front and tl r.t the rear, with a large window on tin front (which should face the south oi southeast), and a small sash on ce'li end near the front, the door to be on ti.i west end or side. The small windo w) should open so us to allow veiitilalf n accordiiiL,' to (lie direction of the wind, a top ventilator often causing drafts down on the fowls. The roof may be of tarred felt or other suitable material, and in a cold climate the house may be cov ered entirely v.'itii tarred fell, fastened with strips. The same house may be double f"t two flocks, if preferred, with a door in the center or at one end. If it be raised 18 inches from the ground, the hens will find much comfort underneath in win ter. The cost of the double henhouse need not exceed if I") for one 10 by ill feet, but much will depend upon the local prices for materials and labor. The space underneath may be protected by boards to break the wind. If the house is low on the ground, cement floors are best, as they protect against rats, but they must be covered with an inch of dry earth, with cut straw over it, or they will be cold. If raised up, the best floor is of ton rv.e and groove boards. The Hosts should be movable: hence soap boxes are excellent. The roost should be a piece of It by 4 scantling, slightly rounded on tlm edges, and it should reach across the rear of the house about two feet from the flour. For 10 In ns I'.mr nests are Kiiflicient, two at each end of the house. The wa ter fountain maybe placed at any con venient point. I'eed t muftis should trnt be used if they cm be avoided, as it is beet to compel the hens to scratch for all they l.c ive. Keep the middle of the floor eh ..:',.' . ;ts to allow scratch ing spare, an I .l::ce a large shallow box near the frort window, lilled with dry dirt or si'ied coal ndies, for dusting. If soft food is i.iveit. place it on a board and remove the bit toi- when the meal is over. The house. 10 by 10 feet in size, can be made to accommodate .,") hens in winter, but it is better to allow plenty of room. ll'll'iV?. INTLKIOR AUItANOKMKNT OK TIIK 1IKN IKll'SK. The rule in regard to the cost of a plain house is to allow f-10 for 50 hens, or fl per hen. The decimal system will serve to remind the reader by allowing $1 as the cost of food per year for a hen, fl for her share of the building, about ijl profit is r year, 10 sipiare feet of hkiiii in the house and loo sipiare feet of space in the yard. A cheap and convenient house is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. U, ex terior and interior views, reproduced from the journal quoted. The drawings are so plain that no explanation is re quired.

Sow broadcast 2i bush els of the small Canada peas or three bushels of marrow fats and plow under four or five inches. The pea is a deep rooted plant and should be put well down. Sow on top of the ground one bushel of oats to hold the peas up. For Imgs they come in us a green forage after clover and may be cut with a scythe and thrown into them or a movable fence may be put around a small portion of the field. Good success lias Is'cii obtained by putting the jreas ainl oats in the silo, or they may be cut and cured, thrashed ami ground into meal.

It is sonetiines a fault of youn peo pie to rely too fully upon their own opin ions or impressions, and there are grnwi jieople win are quite too sure regarding matters to which they have given little attention. A passenger on a Frenct Rteatner tells this story: The wind was frenh. and we were run ning at the rate of 1.' knots an hour Cur mariners were deceived in their cat dilations, and as the lead did not indi rate the proximity of the coast they wen expected to approach they concludi-i that the currents had carried us into tin Vh.tiinel. On morning ut break of da I heard the captain exclaim: "1 see breakers through the mist." M. de 1' Aiguille, un ofiicer of sunerii i merit, who nevertheless displayed soaie 1 times too much of the confidence ol youth, replied with a smile, "T host ' breakers, captain, are nowhere but it i your glass." "Young man," said our old captain ' with a tone of nngi r, "you are inajoi; general to the squadron and may give il j the orders you thinlc proper, but I know I v hat 1 have to do. It is I who answi 1 1 fur the safety of my ship. I shall there fore give orders to tack, for there is not I a moment to be lost," He accordingly gave that or ler, am: ; during its execution, the fog having sud denly cleared away, we perceived al about 2oo yards from us t he rocks a';.;in' I which our fleet would inevitably havt perished. Fortunately tin' whole squad run imitated the movement of our ves sel. and all danger was over.

No misgivings need apply to the caw of the new railway ut Liverpool. Ini.i and power, us well us in the ingenuity ol its details, it surpasses the best America! models. It extends along the quays ol the great line of docks on the Mersey h i nearly seven miles. Its carriages areol full si ze, not arranged like a tram car but like the ordinary passenger car ol the United States, each being in twt compartments and capaplo of seating 51 persons. Iteneath each car is uu elect rh motor of from 100 to 70 horsepower, inn' the speed will he as high as ill) miles III hour. The power to work the trains, anc witli them the accessories of signals ami light, is the same, and generated from i single point on the system. The wholt runs upon an "overhead railroad" or con tiuiious bridge of iron. That is not. how ever, of the essence of an electric railway though the lightness of electric rollni(j gear makes such an arrangement chea and suitable for the purpose. Lnndoi. Spectator. All KiikIIkIi Hoy's Know li ileof Literature livery one who is not a schoolmaster it aware that a young linglisliinim knowf almost nothing of the literature of hit own land, and what little he does know hu dislikes, because hu has had at school to translate it into Latin. It is most hu miliating to hear an American youth discourse upon this matter while out own sous sit ilium ami glum. F.tTort? have been made of late to find out what our boys do read for their own pleasure, and the result of these inquiries seems U be that they read the accounts of prut fights. One headinuster tries to prove that this is derived from the influence ol Homer, but it is much more likely that it comes from a perusal of the sporting newspapers and the general devotion tc athletics. From whatever cause it arises, it is certainly true that while there is nc deficiency of good poetry ami good fie tion among us the rising generation cares for neither. London Illustrated News.
