This church is sometimes called the Church of State. Ford's theater, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while attending a performance the evening of Good Friday, April 14, 1865. The house where Lincoln died, now known as the Lincoln Museum. Famous Octagon House, erected in 1798, occupied by President Madison after the burning of the White House in 1814. During his occupancy here, the Treaty of Ghent was signed closing our second war with England. The Old James Creek Lock House, in which George Washington and citizens of this city received their food supplies during the Revolution. Own a Poultry Farm: Poultry should have spacious house, with a yard attached. The house must be moderately warm, absolutely sanitary and perfectly dry. Plymouth Rocks are good egg producers and of excellent food value. White-crested Polis most beautiful of all fowl. The Floating Dwellings of Canton, China: The estimated population of Canton. China, is about 800,000, of which many thousands dwell in boats in the Canton or Pearl River. The inhabitants are called Tankia, or boat-people. The family boats of the better sort are from 30 to 60 feet long and about 15 feet wide. Large numbers of poultry are reared on these boats. Goats Milk the Best: Goats are valued for their hair, milk and the flesh as food. The skin is used for a variety of purposes and yields the leather known as morocco. The comparative food value of a goat's and cow's milk is that goat's milk has less mineral content and a larger percentage of fat. Goats rarely have tuberculosis and their raw milk is safer for children. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
