When a number of these worms get into the windpipe and become swollen with blood breathing becomes difficult and even Impossible. Gaping, the charac teristic symptom of the gapes, is the natural result of this choking. Other Symptoms. There are other symptoms, of course. Some of these are the shaking of the head, the contracting and the exten sion of the neck,'*the drooping of the wings and a peculiar staggering gait, doubtless caused by the choking and the exhaustion of the chicks. Once in a great while gaping will be caused by a touch of bronchitis, but as a rule It is associated only with the attacks of the tiny reddish worms that j| fasten themselves in the chicks' L*^ trachea. They not only choke the chicks, but they cause an irritation that leads to inflammation of the lin-' fng of the air passages. Weak chicks, attacked by gape worms, will die nine times out of ten, as it is very hard. to relieve tljem. The strong chicks may have vitality enough to overcome the trouble, but they will lose in growth. The worms are sometimes extract ed from the upper throat by means of a looped horse hair. This is a tedious operation and hardly worth while when there are many chicks to be looked after. The best plan is to iso late the sufferers and move the re mainder away from the ground where they have been feeding. Forcing the chicks to breathe lime dust, fine, dry air-slaked lime, will force the worms to loosen their hold on the air pas sages. As a rule, though, the chicks are hardly strong enough to stand such measures. Other Harmful Worms. In older birds the tapeworms and round worms cause some losses. The round worm is a cylindrical, smooth parasite, tapering at both the front and the rear, but the front is more pointed than the rear. They are in testinal parasites, bloodsuckers and devourers of the nourishment needed by the growing bird or the laying hen. When very' numerous they cause a diarrhea or in some Instances a stop page of the intestines. The remedy is two grains of san tonin for each bird, dissolved In the drinking water or mixed in and fed' with a mash. The round worm is white in coloring and may vary from one-third of an inch to five inches in length. Now and again serious outbreaks of the tapeworm in poultry are reported from various parts of the country. The chief remedies used for tapeworm in fowls are extract of the male fern, turpentine, pumpkin seeds, the areca hut and Epsom salts. of GAPE WORM IS TROUBLESOME Slew Suffocation Follows Where Young Birds Are Attacked by These Para sites Tape Worms Also Cause of Suffering. Gape worms, round worms, tape worms and flukes are the principal In ternal enemies of farm poultry. It Is much easier to prevent all of them than it is to get rid of any one of them. E.1y summer and late spring are the times when gape worms give the most trouble. As soon as the frosts are well out of the ground and there \la no more danger of freezing the gape worms become active. Just where and how they spend the winter Is not known, but they make their appear ance with singular regularity following a few warm or hot days.

USING 'SPECS' AS ORNAMENTS Senegalese Soldiers in France Have Been Keeping the Paris Opticians Exceedingly Busy. Those whom fate has condemned to wear spectacles inav have some difficulty in believing that anyone could regard these articles as orna ments, to be worn with pride and pleasure. This, however, remarks a writer in the Continental edition of the London Mail, is nevertheless the case with many of the Senegalese soldiers who fought in the war. While on leave in Paris on their way home, many of these gallant warriors have invested in spectacles as the surest means of impressing their compatriots. An optician relates that when he tried to sell a pair of spectacles with plain glass to a Senegalese whose sight was obviously excellent, the soldier complained that they were no good because they did not "make everything look funny." The op tician immediately supplied the sol dier with a pair of concave lenses that would have done very well for a short-sighted student. The customer was satisfied at once, paid, and went out, colliding on the way with vari ous- pieces of furniture. MADE 'EM GIGGLE. Upon entering the elevator the other morning in a loop office build ing where I am employed I noticed a pretty girl and was looking at her and thinking how pretty she was when.

Slifer, 1611 Court place, Is back from his annual pilgrim- age to "The Old Swimmin' Hole"the old original James Whitcomb Riley swimmin' hole. "It was in 1859, when I was twit a mere lad, that my father purchased a strip of farm land adjoining the town of Greenfield, Ind. Through this strip of land ran a small creek called Brandywlne,. and it was this swimming place which Mr. Riley eulogized in his poem," Mr. Slifer said. "Well do I remember one particu lar swim. It was in the warm spring days when the swimming hole was call ing to the country lads, but father had a field of corn which needed attention. In the midst of the hoeing of the corn along came Jim Riley, and after much persuasion induced my brother and myself to go swimming. We did, and we tarried just a wee bit too long in the water, for father discorered his field of unhoed corn and- -but what's the use of recalling unpleasant memories? For there are so many pleasant ones associated with Riley, and besides Jim took his share of the blame and punishment. "You know James Whitcomb Riley was a man of note in the community where he lived long before he became a recognized poet," he said. "It was as a sign painter, however, not as a writer. In Greenfield today there hangs a sign which bears the signature of James Whitcomb Riley, painted more than 45 years ago." Mr.,Slifer says that there is an old colored barber, George L. Knox by name, now living in Greenfield, who furnished the money with which Riley made his first tour to country schoolhouses reciting his verses. "In those days I remember the wealthier squires of that district criticized he barber because they doubted the genius aDd ability of the Hoosier youth", *f. off at the next floor and called out "six, pretty." The poor elevator man's face turned red and every one in the elevator giggled, and I sure did make my getaway at No. 6.

HOW "TEXAS" GOT ITS NAME Mere Accident Responsible for Appel lation Bestowed on Small Cabin on River Steamers. The texas on an American river boat is the little cabin joined up to, and generally a trifle lower than the pilothouse, and is the sleeping quar ters for the pilots. How it got its name is told in "On the Ohio," H. Bennett Abdy's latest book. "Ohthatwell, it's kinda inter* estin' how that name got stuck onto it. You see, in the early days o' steamboatin' all the cabins was named after statesthat's where the name 'stateroom' comes from, see? Well, there was a bright young feller in the Mississippi country who had designed some right speedy boats, so when he got a contract to build an extra smart and fancy packetthe Kate Barnesdale was her namehe tried somethin' new. It was a little deckhouse just behind the pilotthe idea being to provide more sleeping room for passengers. Well, he didn't know what to name the new contrap tion but it so happened that the boat went into commission on the very day the state of Texas was ad mitted into the Union so the new cabin was named the 'texaa.'"
