slave IN n pillow.

There is in this city young man
who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot
square and only four inches thick, O
pillow that resembles pancake. lie
has used it ever since he was baby
when, at the age Of twelve, he entered
st. PauIs school, he took 1t all the way
TO New Hampshire with him. ana
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.
Z 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 q
good protection against hawks.
{ Raw bone contains every part of an
egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore
1t should be kept constantly before lay
Hng hens in the granulated form.
X One of the best ways Of removing lice
from fowls is to make them do 1t them
selves by having a lot Of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like it.
1.-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.

Sadness EXPLAINED.

: In Liverpool recently a sentimental
young lady was on the Cunard steam
ship quay when she saw a young girl
sitting on trunk In an attitude Of ut
ter detection and despair.
: Poor thingw thought the romantic
lady. "She is probably alone and a
stranger. Her pale cheeks and great,
sad eyes tell Of broken heart and a
yearning for sympathy" So she went
over to the traveller TO win her conf
dence.
Crossed in love| she asked sympa-
fhetlcally.
NO." replied the girl. with a sigh,
"crossed in the Servia, and an awfully
rough passage too."-Tit-Bits.

2 HOURGLAssEs.
They Have Not Gone Out of Style by
a Long Shot.

They Have Not Gone out of style by
Long Shot.
"Alost people think that hourglasses
.vent out of style years ago." said a
clerk in q Twenty-third street store,
.'along with perukes and knee breeches,
but as a matter Of fact we have more
calls for them today than we have had
at any time within the last ten years.
THAT this renewed popularity OF the
bourglass augurs its universal accept
ance as a timepiece by the coming gen
,eration l am not prepared to say Dut
az such a renaissance were to become
assured It would be no more surprls-
ing than some of the other recent fads
biased on a revival Of lost customs
Anyway q 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
hooks like, and it won't hurt them to
broaden their education q little along
certain lines.
"Of the hourglasses sold at present
the three minute glass is In the lead.
This glass is used almost exclusively to
measure time in boiling eggs. and It's
usefulness naturally places its sales a
aittle in advance Of the more senu-
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 1t 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 81. OF course, the
price can be brought up still higher by
fancy carving and decoration. Swell
hodges sometimes go to this extra eX-
pense, but most people are satisfied
with the cheaper grades. New York

UNIQUE PHILANTHROPY.
Mrs. Smith, Wife of Californian
"BOrax King" Expects to Adopt
Hundred Girls.

The responsibility of rear4ng 100
daughters and starting them all prop
erly in life is one that would cause
most mothers to shudder. Yet that is
what Mrs +. NJ. Smith, of Oakland,
Cal, is going to take upon herself.
She is going to adopt 100 poor girls
and rear them as tenderly as the fond
est mother would her best loved child.
Mrs. Smith is the wife of the man
who is known throughout the country
as the "boraX king" He controls the
entire boraX trade of America and is
rated in California as a multi-million-
aire. 1t is the money made from
boraX that will permit Mrs. Smith to
care for 100 girls, some of them hardly
more than toddling babies, from now
up to the time when they are young
women and go away to firesides of
their own or to the life work which
they shall select. But if any of them
should not marry or would not show
any inclination to take up profess
sion, why, then they will do just as
any daughter of any ordinary family
would do--simply stay at home and
live her own life in her own way.
Mrs. Smith is not going to adopt
her hundred girls for any certain
period of years, to be sent away at
the end of that time, regardless of
whether they want to go or are pre-
pared to go or not.
The home which Mrs. Smith will
provide for these homeless girls is TO
be home in fact, and the girls are
to be taught to regard it as such.
Mrs. Smiths hundred daughters will
live in ten houses, ten girls to each
house, on 35-acre tract of land, near
Arbor villa, Mrs. Smiths home in Oak
land. The first of the ten houses is
already being built, and work on the
others will begin at once.
The girls are to have every oppor-
tunity to learn all that they wish.
They will go to the public schools
and attend church. Every effort will
be made to equip them with prac-
teal education, as well as the ac-
complishments that an ambitious girl
naturally Graves.
Each girl will be permitted to fol-
low her own particular bent. Those
who wish to attend the university
after completing the work of the
graded schools can do so, and those
who wish to become milliners, dress
makers, or follow any other trade or
profession will be given every facility
for doing so.
But think of becoming fostermoth-
er to more than eight dozen girls.
Think of the cares of teaching eight

IN LOVE, BUT WAS THRIFTY.
The Careful Young Man Objected to
Paying the Second Time
for the BannE,

The late Prof. Shuttleworth, of
London, was particularly fond of tell
ing how, when he once acted as To-
cum tenens in Devonshire, he had to
proclaim the banns of marriage of a
young yoliel and a village maid. A
fortnight later the young swain
called at the professors lodgings, re-
lates the London Telegraph.
"You put up the banns for me-"
he said.
"Yes, I remember" replied Mr..
Shuttleworth.
"Well," inquired the yokel, "has
it got to go on?"
"What do you mean?" asked the
professor. "Are you tired of the girls? ?"
NO" was the unexpected answer,
"but I like her sister better"
"Oh, if the original girl doesn't
mind. you can marry her sister"
But should 1 have to be called
again?"
Certainly, that's necessary" an.
swered Mr.. Shuttleworth.
But should l have to pay again?"
Eyes, it would cost you three and
sixpence."
ooh, would it?" reioined the yokel,
after reflection. "Then I'll let it re-
main as it is" and he did.

CHAPTER XII.

When Virginia seeded and her
young men rushed to the front, among
the first to seek a commission was
Raymond Holbin. This was in the
days when most people believed that
the military feature of secession
would prove little more than a grand
spectacular demonstration. Gradu-
ates of West Point were at once in
great demand, and backed by the
Brookin influence Holbin was ap-
pointed captain of infantry among
the state troops, no search of his rec
ord being at the time possible; but
when the state transferred her troops
to the confederate government, and
Holbin sought colonelcy, advancing
IN support of his application the fact
that he had been an officer in the reg
Giar army, the matchless memory of
the southern president recalled his
history. Jefferson Davis had been Sec
retary of war at the time the Holbin
Sourt-martial was held, and the rec
ord coming before him for review, he
had promptly approved the sentence
of the court. A long struggle to Sc
cure modification of the sentence
had followed-and in this struggle
many politicians had been arrayed by
Ho!bin's mother, but in vain. The
sentence stood and these people new
er forgot the issues involved; the
Holbns hated Jefferson Davis The
name "Holbin" had clung to the mem
ory of the hero of Buena Vista; he
declined to appoint Raymond Holbin
or to commission him in any way to
command honorable men. The deci-
sion was in harmony with his devo-
ton to his principles, a devotion that
was destined to make him in the end
the most unfortunate of American
statesmen.
This new public reflection upon Hol-
bin filled him with an ungovernab bic
cage. Had safe opportunity offered,
ne would not have hesitated to send
a bullet through the heart of the man
who was responsible for it. Indeed,
he armed himself, and for many
saonths was convinced that he might

dozen daughters to sew and to cook
and to be nice, sweet little girls and
keep their little noses clean. Think
of the ice cream they will eat, and
the shoes and the dresses they will
wear.
Think of two dozen daughters with
the toothache and a dozen more with
