Henry Stein has secured a patent
upon scheme to increase the per
capita of chickens in this country,
and, if successful, he will make mil
lions. His scheme is to build a large
coop or cave in which no ray of light
will be admitted and which will ac-
comodote 100 hens at time. The
fowls will be kept in darkness until
they have forgotten somewhat
gotten the outside worln. The cave
will be fixed up with electric lights
and when Henry presses the button
the button the birds will think that
daylight has come and will get up
and lay their eggs, the lights then
being turned out at the end of an
hour, when the ligh. will be turned
on again sor an hour and another
egg secured. In this way he expects
to get from ten to fifteen eggs daily
from each hen, to boom the incuba
tor trade and to food the egg mar

an infected person to others by cons
mon flies acting as carriers, by per-
sonal contact and by flying dust.
The unsanitary condition Of the

OF the fever, and it is asserted thai

elylocated.

BETRAYED by the Telephone.

Young Prosser was unsophisticated
and childliAe, and had come from the
country to take clerkship in city
Office.
Not long after his arrival tele-
phone was fitted at the place, and this
he was expected to work. His first
experience with it was very un-
pleasant. On hearing the call of the
bell, he put up the receiver to his
ear, and distinctly heard his en-
ployer's voice ask for certain informa-
tion. !;
Now, Prosser in his simplicity
though that, as his employer was two
miles away, it would be necessary to
shout with all his might, 80 he thun-
dered his message back. But to his
chagrin, back came the answer
"I don't understand you at ALL"
iProsser yelled again and again, but
with no better result. Then solu-
ton of the difficulty occurred to him,
and he softly soliloquized:
"I wonder if the old idiot is deaf. +"
His blood ran cold as he heard the
sound of his governors voice in re.

They are in large measures self

dictation-and enjoy a considerable

thousand out of population of two

In one of the accompanying large
illustrations IS shown meeting OF
the most extraordinary parliament,
perhaps, that ever came together to
discuss State affairs. This congrega-
tion of ebony skinned politicians is
the Kafir Parliament of Basutoland,
which lies to the northeast of Cape
Colony, and is consequently intimately
associated with tie present African
muddle. These Bssutos number ovei
200, 900, and occupy the finest grain
and grass producing territory IN South

it is here that the native parliament
meets to discuss matters of State.

The secret of the Zulu power lies,
first, in organization, and second, in
the tradition of victory. Organization
