There is in this city a young man
who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot
square and only four inches thick, a
pillow that resembles a pancake. He
has used it ever since he was a baby.
When, at the age of twelve, he entered
st. PauPs school, he took it all the way
to New Hampshire with him, and
when he entered Harvard he took it to
Cambridge also. Starting on his we'd
ding journey, he carried it in his suit
case. When he went abroad, the pill
low went along. And now, when he is
twenty-five, he is more attached to the
tiny thing than ever and will take it on
the briefest trips-on trips of a day,
say, to New York or on trips over night
to the country houses Of his friends
He says that he has not once slept on
anything but this pillow since he was
seven years old.-Philadelphia Record

THE POULTRY YARD.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
Even when the fowls have an unlim-
tied range it is a good plan to feed
them every evening.
One of the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
and free from vermin.
Peafowls are handsome and subsist
with the least care Of any kind of
fowls. They are prolific layers and a
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part Of an
egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore
it should be kept constantly before lay
ing hens in the granulated form.
One Of the best ways Of removing lice
from fowls is to make them do it them
selves by having a lot of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like it.
The comb is always an index to the
condition Of the bird. When the comb
is white or very pale or very black,
something is wrong A healthy fowl
shows a bright scarlet color. in the
comb.

HOuRGLASSES
They Have Not Gone Out of style by

"a Long Snots
Most people think that hourglasses
went out of style years ago." said a

based on a revival of lost customs.
Anyway brief study of the hourglass
will do nobody harm. There are thou
sands in this generation who have not
the slightest idea what an hourglass
looks like, and it won't hurt them to
broaden their education a little along
certain lines.
''Of the hourglasses sold at present

This glass is used almost exclusively to
measure time In boiling eggs, and it's
usefulness naturally places it's sales a

mental varieties. Next come the five,
ten and fifteen minute and full hour
glasses, which are bought chiefly by
musicians for piano practice and by
lodges and secret societies.
''The sand used in an hourglass is the
very finest that the world affords. The
western coast of Italy furnishes most
Of it, as it has done for ages past. The
cost of hourglasses is regulated by the
ornamentation Of the frames. A glass
set in a plain rosewood case can be
bought for 81, while mahogany frame
comes to $3.50 or 50. Of course, the
price can be brought up still higher by
fancy carving and decoration. Swell
lodges sometimes go to this extra ex-

1t is now supporting by majority of one the trusts and the tariff.
 The essence of these cases, as So licitor General Richards truthfully states, is the tariff. He should have added, through 1t the trusts, and through the trusts, the campaign sub scribers. By a majority of one these have won. The Dingley tariff at home on the mainland Is preserved even to the crossing of 't" and the dotting of an 'f," and the trusts and campaign subscribers are on top in their GUS tomary place. The new possessions are told by Justice Brown that they have some rights in common with the mainland under the constitution, but not the right of equal taxation. This the sugar trusts and other trusts could not grant. "The American Empire" is practically established. This phrase is all that Is endorsed in Chief Justice Marshall's- repudiated decision. The administration is left to deal with Porto Rico under the Foraker act, and the Philippines under the Spooner act, as 1t pleases, and the trusts are happy and fully protected.
