Ducat and Other Coronets.

The coronet of duke consists of alternate crosses and leaves, the leaves being representation of the leaves or the parsley plant. The princes of the royal blood also wear a similar crown. The state headgear of a marquis con sists of a diadem surrounded by flow CTS and pearls placed alternately. An earl, however, has neither flowers nor leaves surmounting his eirclet, but only points rising each with pearl on the top. A viscount has neither flow CTS nor points, but only the plain cir clet adorned with pearls, which, re- gardless of number, are placed on the crown itself A baron has only six pearls on the golden border, not raised, to distinguish him from an earl, and the number of pearls render his dia- dem distinct from that of yiscount

Electricity Cure..

According to Dr. Friedlander of Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply a constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization produces rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disap- pears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been Inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent service even if it be not applied until after some time has elapsed, for it re- moves the pain and also quickly re- suces the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has Injected through the skin, is neutral Ized and rendered innocuous by the current. Dr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps, and has invariably found them successful. He naturally believes that similar result would be obtained in the cases of persons stung by other insects.

Heating Poultry Houses.

Recently we clipped the following paragraph from paper published in the northwest:
 ''The North Dakota station is one of the few agricultural experimental sta tions that has a poultry department, charge of an expert chicken crank.
 hey began a series of experiments to
 errmine, if possible, what effect, if
 ny, heating the poultry house would
 we upon the production of eggs and
 ae food requirements. On December 1 they put forty-six chickens, inelud- ing several varieties of birds, into the poultry house. January 20 a large stove was put into the house and fire started with Ignite coal. On Janu- ary 31 the feed had decreased to six pounds in the morning and eight and three-fourths in the evening. The last of March four and a half pounds morning and four and three-fourths evenings. The total amount of fuel burned from January 20 to April l costs $4.50. During the month Of Jan uary previous to the use of the stove, the average number of eggs a day was two and three-fourths, the remainder of the month from the 21st to the end it was six and three e-elevenths, show ing the influence that heat exerted upon the production of eggs. The question naturally arises, can a far mer under the conditions existing on the ordinary farm afford to take care of his poultry by furnishing artificial heat? An examination of the figures shows that but half the food is con stunned and that the egg production IS more than doubled. With eggs worth 25c dozen at that season of the year and food at the ordinary prices, it should seem that it would not only be economy to heat the poultry house, but would be a source of great profit, especially after arrangements had once been completed so that it would re- quire but little extra work.

paper Row,

Park row has life by itself, and no one can write it. It must be lived and lived for years, to be understood thoroughly. It Is a life so varied and complex that 1t defes analysis and complete portralture. Certain phases of 1t, caught here and there. may be shown to the outside world by clever people who have been in it and of It. and this has been done by Jesse Lynch Willians in "The Stolen Story" The volume is a collection of stories of Park row, and takes It's name from the opening sketch. The stories are faith full pictures, taken at random in the newspaper country. and are written with considerable skill. Those who are of Park row will appreciate them, and those who are outside of the newspaper world will find in the book glimpses of a life which cannot fail to attract their interest and appeal to them from it's novelty, if from nothing else. MT. Williams weakest story Is the last one in the book, The Old Reporter" a story which he evidently intended to make the strongest. He wrote it with view to rounding out the whole subject and showing just what is the effect upon character of the news gathering and news writing depicted in the previous stories" In this it is a failure, and succeeds only in being what the other stories are a sketch of certain phases of newspa- per life.

If there ever was a more pointless experiment than this we would like to know about It. This comparison is made with two periods of laying, one from December 1 to 20th of January, and the other one from the 20th of January, when the stove was put in, up to the last of April. The conclusions drawn that all of the extra eggs are due to artificial heat is an absurdity. Every poultryman knows that al through this section of the country few eggs are received in the period from the list of December to the 20th of Jan- uary, while about that time laying commences, in spite of cold weather, and continues except in periods of great cold. The only fair test would be to take two lots of poultry and keep them through the entire winter under respective conditions of artificial heat and no artificial heat. The conclusion that heating by stoves will pay largely is not to be accepted without further proof. It certainly will not pay in the latitude of Illinois. In the extreme regions of Dakota and Minnesota 1t might pay, but that remains to be demonstrated.
