costly and elegant lines in all these ar

L'art nouveau-in one of its phases,
at any rate-goes straight to nature
for inspiration, though not always, per-
haps, with the almost severe directness
of the instance here given-a sideboard
inlaid with marquetry of natural
woods. The artist has conceived the
very novel and somewhat curious no
ton of carving on the panel flock Of
geese. These birds are finely cut and
grouped in natural attitudes and shown
In bright, gay colors against a ground
Of yellowy brown with a slight rose
tint. The purpose of this piece Of fur
niture is not lost to sight, and its form,
though light, is pleasing as well as en-
inently useful There is n big drawer

WORKING FOR EGGS.
A Succession of PuIlets Is the Way
Sro Get Winter Eggs

StO Get Winter Eggs.
1t would be better if poultry keepers
would interest themselves in the selec-
Importance than exhibition points, be-
cause the majority of people keep
fowls simply for the eggs or as hob
by, and IL care be taken to select only
the best layers and set them the profits
| would increase wonderfully. AS a rule,
In their second year, will lay right up
to the end Of autumn or beginning
of winter and then molt. Such hens
require little extra care at this time
and usually come on to lay again in
February. After they have been rest
orally the first few dozen eggs laid will
be fertile.
A good layer can, with very little
practice, be detected by the formation
Of her head and eye, and If a person
will watch the habits of the hens
known to be good layers he will soon
be able to pick out the others without
watching them.
The first one or two litters of eggs
laid by pullets are not SO serviceable,
so sure or profitable for Matching as is
their later product, because they We're
first formed at time when the pullet
was growing and the organs not fully
developed.
Selections should be annually made
for the purpose of keeping up the
youth and strength of the race and to
supply the places Of such fowls as have
become too old or from other causes
Improbable to breed from.
There can be no question that the
best way In which to obtain a supply
of winter eggs, no matter what the
breed kept may be, Is to have a sue
cession of pullets, for, as our readers
will find, there is a great difference in
seasons. This matter Of a succession
of pullets Is Of supreme Importance
for those who require q regular supply
Of eggs all the year round-and who
does not? Supposing the first batch
come out early in February, they
should, If of the lighter breeds, com.
mence laying about August or Septem'
Der, when the older ones are going
into molt, and thus render special serv-
fee. Then with more pullets hatched.
say every second week until the end Of
April, it may be looked for that these
win begin operations correspondingly
until Christmas. The very early pull
lets are not enough, for as q rule, they
will lay until we have snap OF cold
weather, when their places should be
taken by the later Matched birds.-Mor.

THE COMMUTER.
How He Spends His Hours of Daily
Railroad Travelling.

The much abused suburbanites,
whom the cartoOnists picture as COM
ing to the city every morning from
'Lonesomehurst," Lost Mans Lane"
"PTunehuTst-b -the-Trolley' and other
places with equally suggestive names,
are an interesting class of individ-
uals. The transient element of the
city's population spends several hours
every day whirling over the railroads.
When the novelty of these daily bits
Of railroading has passed into the
monotony of years of travel through
the same country the commuter has
learned to make the best Of the time
he spends on the train.
The "card fiend' is prominent fig
ure In this class Both morning and
evening four or five games of cards
are going on in every smoking car, and
it IS safe to say that thousands Of dol
lars change hands in this "innocent
amusement while the players are hur-
rying to or from business.
Next to the card sharp" is the man
who only enjoys his cigar and paper
He Is obliViOuS to all his surround
Ings and only shows animation when
/ he is at his journeys end.
Many of the policies and plans Of
some of this city's most successful
business men have been born or de-
veloped On these trains. The short
respite between the hustle of the city
and the cares Of home life Is to this
type of man n season for meditation.
Another interesting commuter Is the
Individual who is on good terms with
all his fellows. He travels up and
down through the car exercising his
repertory of latest jokes or sympa-
thizing with some gloomy looking
friend who thinks that all the world
is against him. He seems to never
grow weary in his we'll doing.
The train life of the commuter is now
and then enlivened by wrecks. Though
tossed about and sometimes cut and
bruised, he generally escapes serious
injury. Such experiences as these he
considers the spice and coloring of his
existence.-New York Mail and Ex-
press.

The Missouri senate has passed a
bill affixing the penalty Of death to
child abduction. This will strike most
people as q wholesome and necessary
measure in view Of the enormity and
cruelty of the crime, especially when it
is remembered that the recent escape
from punishment for it in Il case that
has attracted the attention of the en-
tire nation makes the danger of its rep
etition greater 1t will hardly fail to
be noted also that wretches are threat
ening to torture children and put out
their eyes in case ransoms are not paid.
To say that the lives of fiends like
these should be spared is worse than
mawkish and mischievous sentimental
ity.
Minister Conger's objection to the
immediate execution of Prince Tuan
and General Tung is likely to prove
effective in view of the fact that these
two distinguished Celestials are 1000
miles distant from Peking and at the
head Of well equipped army of 1O0,-
900.

SILVER KING AND SENATOR.
Brilliant Career of Thomas Kearns,
the Senator Elect From Utah.

Brilliant Career of Thomas Kearns,
the Senator Elect From Utah.
From Pennsylvania coal mine to
the United States senate. Such is the
history Of Thomas Kearns, the ''Silver
King" of Utah, whose life reads like a
romance.
Born in Pennsylvania of Irish parent
age In the year 1855, his boyhood and
youth, says the Los Angeles Times,
were spent in hard work am poverty.
In 1876 the whole family, consisting of
Mr.. Kearns and wife and six children
-four boys and two girls-moved to
Nebraska. They settled in Holt coun-
ty, locating ON government land, and
became members of the John O'Neil
colony. The eldest boy was the first
sheriff of Holt county. He was shot
dead by cowboy resisting arrest.
Thomas was noted for his venture.
some disposition and, hearing Of the
great fortunes being made in the west
ern mines, started out alone in the year
1880 and went to Utah, locating at
Park City. He began as day laborer
in the mines, saved his money, and
about two years later he and his part
ner, David Keats, acquired the Silver
King mine, which proved to be a veri-
table bonanza. He-married a daughter
Of wealthy Utah miner in 1888 and
has one child. The senator is not what
might be called an orator, yet he has an
abundance Of Celtic fire and humor and
vast amount of common sense, which
enables him to make an excellent show
ing on the public platform.
Tom was always a mothers boy"
and after he had made his fortune In
the mines spared no pains nor expense
to provide comforts for her in her old
age. A splendid shaft of marble erect
ed by her son marks the last resting
place of Mrs. Kearns, who died at
O'Neil City In 1890.

Things Every Woman Wants Il

The new, or comparatively new, way
of dressing the hair is with n slight
parting at one side and dropped wave
across the forehead.
The black velvet bow in the hair is
a becoming addition, but rather apt to
add few years to ones appearance.
Mercerzed cotton fabrics and fou-
lards are among the first materials
provided for the season of early spring
dressmaking.
The large drum shape" represents
good style in muffs, which come in er-
mine, mink, seal, sable, fox and lynx.
Extra long bear boas are elegantly
worn by tall and dignificd women.
Automobile coats run from 40 to 81
inches in length.
Decorative triflcs are extensively
used In evening coiffures.
Black embroidery on batiste and
chiffon is one Of the novelties in trim
ming.
1t is predicted that shirt waists are to
be daintier and more delicate than ever
In material, which includes finest cot
tons, silks, linens and batistes as well
as silk and cotton and silk and linen
mixed fabrics.
The plateau hat has made n great
hit. 1t frames the face and hair de-
