Marvellous braes are bonny,
And Annie Laurie likes
Something that is softer
Than asphalt when she bikes.
Her spine is like the crescent,
And she's very rubber-necked;
Her face--oh, well, regarding that,
It's what you might expect.
She wears a nobby shrt-waist,
And little golhng hat,
And--woud it not be better
To let it go at that?
---aDs----
Mrs. Cheerington-Always cultivate sym
pathetic character.
Mrs. Glumly-Yes; they're SO useful to tel
your troubles to.
She-Talk about woman's idle curiosity
There's no such thing.
EIe--No, should say it worked night ant

i. One has heard of heartless women and
women without feeling, but that u hu-
man being can exist without any sense
of touch seems marvellous. yet this is
claimed for Mrs. Evartina Tardo, a
young widow in the West Indies. Ply
sicians who have known her case pro-
nounce it u physiological freak. She is
said to be wholly without feeling, has
swallowed poison. been shot, bitten by
rattlesnakes. received a puncture i'll her
heart from Il Doctors lance and had her
neck dislocated, all without experience
ing any pain. Besides these experiments,
she Can without injury drink benzine
and light the gas at a hollow needle
which pierces her cheek. This strange
assertion is backed by the word Of ply
sicians of repute. AS a child she was
bitten by a cobra, and it is claimed that
her sensory nerves We're paralyzed and
her system innoculated with poison

AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUM-.

up my appointed station on the sum

day, narrower and narrow the cres-
cent of shining sunlight. The sea faded
to leaden nothingness. Armies of crows,
which had pretended entire indiffer-
ence, fighting and Tapping us usual on
gables and fagpoles with undated fer
vor, finally succumbed, and flew off
with heavy haste to the pine forest Oh
the mountain side. The French man-of-
wal disappeared in the gloom. the
junks blended in colorlessncss, but
grass and verdure suddenly turned
strangely, wildly yellow green.
ut was Il moment Of appalling sus

The very air was portentous. The flocks

strange cries. One white butterfly flut-

Sane Advice to Young Artists.

"Don't give in" was about the gist
of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the
English art students in n lecture at the
South Kensington museum. He told
them what ought to be their watchword
"Do not believe, he said, in the in
sidious lie that the devil is always
whispering to the soul of the artist
that the golden age of art is past and
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today, for art is in it's decadence.
Such al assertion was the danger of the
time, and he would have them track it
to its source and kill it there. 1t had
two forms-despondency and tcmpta-
tion-but he urged them not to be in
fiuenced by either, Let their study be
based upon knowledge, the knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated in what was known
us academic training, and let their
knowledge in turn be based upon their
own study"
Certainly that is the best of advice,
for what has been done before can be
done again.

MODERN CHICKEN CooPs.
The Once Familiar Laths lave Given Way
tn Wire Netting.

tn Wire Netting.
Men whose O 90 back, say,
40 years will remember that i'll those
days when a man wanted to build a
chicken coop he bought a bundle or two
of laths and built it. There are mighty
few lath chicken coops built nowadays.
Even the smallest chicken raiser, who
keeps a few i'll his back yard, makes his
coop or runway of poultry netting. The
chicken house, or shelter, is made of
boards. often of two thicknesses and
with tarred paper between, for better
protection from the weather, and with
openings at the bottom and under the
projecting roof for ventilation.
Laths were cheap; poultry netting is
still cheaper. 1t is made of steel wire,
galvanized. i'll various widths and in
various sizes of mesh. The netting most
commonly used is six feet wide, with q
two inch mesh. The chicken raiser sets
up a frame and tacks the netting to it.
Narrow MEETINGS of smaller mesh are
used in various ways to keep in little
chicks-sometimes a foot wide small
mesh netting to run around ut the base
of the iuclosure, the regular netting
being set above it, thus increasing the
total height of the netting. Sometimes
the small mesh netting is IL around
inside of the regular netting, thus max
ing the lower part of the netting double.
Sometimes it is used to make separate
small Enclosures within the large run
way and perhaps to make n number of
small Enclosures to keep separate broods
of chicks apart. The narrow, small
mesh netting is made up to three and a
half feet in width.
There is nowadays Il use for wire net
ting in chicken houses. A netting with
a square mesh is laid Oh the floor of
chicken houses to keep out rats and
mice.
There are now many large establish
ments in this country for the raising of
chickens for commercial purposes, for
market and FOR breeding, and there are
as many men us ever who raise chickens
at home, from the many who keep n
few i'll the back yard, with a simple
chicken house and coop. to men who
raise many chickens and maintain an
elaborate plant for their breeding ana
keeping. But under whatever conditions
they arc raj ed, chickens are rarely seen
nowadays in coops made of laths, such
as were familiar 30 years ayo.-New
