Umpiring With a Shotgun.
Kansas City invites world attention
to the sheer novelty of a 'man stand-
ing in the centre of a diamond point-
ing a shotgun at a runner whom he
was attempting to halt and send back
to 'second base because of a ground
rule, providing that a runner may take
only one base on a passed ball
We have admired nothing g so in-
genious andeffective since the Texas
editor, who used to shoot his sub-
scribers in the feg to remind them of
their unpaid subscriptions. Yet, the
evolution of the umpire with a shot-
iun is not so amazing, on second
thoughts, It was bound to come; It
befalls appropriately in the . militar-
lstic era, with every promise of en-
largen►ent upon the idea when
Krupps and other war toy shops shall
study the offensive and defensive
necessities od umpires.
Imperiled' by the " Spread of pro-
hibition and growing prevalence of
pop bottles in the air—for the in-
crease of temperance has manifested
itself in increased violence and anti-
pathies—the umpire is made the goat
of the whole "dry movement. Be-
coming daily a graver problem, his
situation is ane of the most serious
that confronts the American people.

White Plymouth Rocks.
White Plyunoaa,th Roods are one of
the most popular • and profitable
breeds known. They had their
origin as "'sports" from : Barred
Plymouth Rooks about 25 yea2s
ago, when they were produced as
grays, but developed by breeding
into•a white variety..
The females are ex,oeptionally
good layers of large, brawn eggs,
and the chicks are rugged and act
ive, making excellent fowls ,for
broilers and heavysbreasted roast
ing chickens. They weigh from 8
to 10 pounds for males and 6 to 8
pounds for females. They are more
highly developed in shape finish
and color than other members of
the Plymouth Rock family. Their.
plumage is beautifully white and,
their beaks and shanks a rich
orange yellow in color,
Size and type have almost made
them leaders for market poultry.
In this respect they are only rival-
ed by the White 'Wyandottes, and,
to be exact, the Rhode Island
Reds have gained on then con-
siderably during the last few years.
These are 'the three most widely
bred and every one is a profit pay-
er. It is a record of fact ,that every
so-called breed is a fowl that has
had, as a' reason for its construe-
. its general, all-round utility
value.
The characteristics of the White
Plymouth Rock should (be the same
as those •demanded for all other
varieties of the breed. In color
they sho,uld be pure white, :the 'sur
face color, the quills and the under
color absolutely white. Their eyes
red ; legs, feet and beak rich gold-
en yellow. In this, as in .all other
clean -legged varieties, the shanks
and feet should bo smooth and
free from any feathers or down,
either on the ,shanks or between the
tines.
Prepare for Dear Eggs.
If the farmer wishes td benefitby
the high prioes that eggs are cer-
tain to +bring next fall and winter,
he should` btgin to get '.ready for
them at once. The way to have
Pggs late in the year is to hatch
pullets early. It is the early
hatches from which the early pul-
lets are derived that are the larg-
est money makers for the poultry
producer. The early hatched pul-
lets, if properly grown, should be-
gin to lay in the fall at the time
when eggs are ,scarce and high in
price. --
Pullets must be well matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the
fall before cold weather sets, in will,
as a rule, lay all winter.
Yearling and 2 -year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as
they are molting at that time, and
the feed they consume goes not only
to keep up the energy and life . of
the birds but also to put on or
grow a new coat of feathers.
In properly matured pullets illi
surplus energy. beyond that needed
to meet the requirements of the
body is a,vailaible for the produo-
tion of eggs.
Ineuhatlon Notes.
When using an inoulbator, keep
it at a temperature of 102 to 103
degrees.
Cool and turn the eggs every deo'.
Take ,about five minutes for the job.
Do this for the first eighteen days
and keep moisture in the incubator
for the same length of time, and of
the egg shells: get toohard and dry.
after this, moisten thein to make
thein soft. '
After the eighteenth day, keep a
careful eye upon ithe temperature..
Warmth. generated by the hatching
eggs has got to, be allowed for,
Use onlysound, strongly fertiliz-
ed eggs to 'begin with. Have them
of uniform size.

Typhus Fever.
Whenever a great war breaks out,
there is danger of such an epidemic
of typhus fever as is now raging in
unlucky Serbia. Under ordinary con-
ditions typhus does not spread among
a civilized population; but it flour.
fishes in the overcrowded and un-
hygienic surroundings that • usually
Prevail when a country is actually
ravaged by war, In the Crimean War
the Russians suffered much more than
the English or the ,French, because
their camps were in a more unsani-
tary condition. In the war between
Russia and Turkey in 1877-8 a hun-
dred thousand men are said tohave
suffered from this disease, and half
of them died.
At the same time, mere crowding,
dirt, and lack ofventilation will not
produce typhus. It is caused by a
definite germ, only recently discov-
ered by Doctor Plotz, of New York.
The germ is apparently communicat-
ed through the medium of parasites
that pass from the body or clothing
of the sick to those who come in con-
tact with them. It is not usual for a
person to haye typhus fever twice,
but cases have been recorded.
The fever comes on with a severe
chill, a quick rise of temperature, a
sharp headache, pains all aver the
body, and intense prostration. It is.
also attended by a clouding of the
mind, and it takes its name from the
Greek work that means "fog," be-
cause of the heavy stupor that is an
early symptom. On the third or
fourth day the rash appears, and in
favorable cases the crisis occurs to-
ward the end of the second week. Af-
ter that the progress to recovery is
often steady and rapid.
Typhus fever is almost always fatal
to the weakly, the aged, or the intem-
perate. Careful nursing is most im-
portant in the disease, for itis neces-
sary to keep up the patient's strength
and be ready to deal quickly with
complications as they arise. The dis-
ease is less malignant when a plenti-
ful current of fresh air can: be kept
blowing through the sick room, and it
is correspondingly most fatal in close
and unventilated places. Doctor
Plotz,has succeeded in making a vac-
eine
accine that he believes will be of great
value in protective treatment. Some
of the physicians who have gone to '
Serbia have been inoculated, and if
the vaccine proves successful it will
be a godsend in checking the ravages
of the disease there.
Sciatica.
Sciatica is. a severe neuralgic pain
felt in the sciatic nerve, the largest
nerve inthe body—with a trunk near-
ly as big as one's forefinger. It
emerges from the bony pelvis at the
hip, and its branches are distributed
to the legs and feet. Hencethe darts
of pain, some -times absolutely agoniz-
ing, run from the posterior aspect of
the hip down to the foot.
As a rule rheumatism lies at the
root of the trouble, which is com-
monly associated with lumbago, i.e.,
rheumatism of the muscular and fib-
rous structures in the loin. There
may be gout also. Or the attack may
follow a severe strain or local injury.
The malady is apt to be extremely
obstinate until you hit upon the sove-
reign remedy. That is the saccharat-
ed carbonate of iron of the pharma-
copoeia—iron carbonate mixed with
sugar—taken in doses of a level tea-
spoonful three or four times a day.
That usually removes the trouble in
aywhereaso
a week or ten days; youmay
previously have spent months in elec.
trical treatment, acupuncture, cauter-
ization, and :the consumption of other
drugs. Nobody knows in the least
how or why the iron -salt thus acts.
Only the , fact remains, and any doe
for who may happen to read this will
do well to make a note of it. He will
find it insisted on by a very able
physician of the early Victorian era,
Si'r Thomas Watson, though I think it
has since been forgotten. --A Physi-
cian.
Teeth and Food.
Perhaps the greatest asset to health
is the possession of good teeth. How
to preserve them?
Well, food has the largest effect on
teeth, There are'foods and foods.
Taken on the whole, starchy, ste
gary, or adulterated foods will not
make good teeth. Consequently, mo-
thers would do well to refrain from
feeding children with pastries, sweet
cakes, buns, and ordiaary white
bread.
The best substitutes for these so.
called "necessaries" are whole wheat
bread, cereals, eggs, ripe fruit, vege-
tables, and nuts; .
l3ad teeth prevent efficient masti-
cation. cation. IIs a fee mastication later.
p r t
feres with the digestion. Indigestion
produces no nutrition, and the ab-
sence of nutrition causes ill -health.
The human mouth offers more in;
ducement to the develofiment of
germs than any other portion of the
human body, the natural warmth and
moisture being suited to their germ-
ination. Even such a little thing as a
germ -laden toothbrush menaces the
health of the gulps,
