Stopping EGG Eating.

The writer recently visited poultry
establishment where the owner had
had much trouble with egg eaters. He
said he had tried various plans for
breaking up the habit. but without
success. He had used egg shells filed
with pepper and nauseous compounds,
but the birds ate them and looked
around for more. He finally resorted
to trimming their bills with a sharp
knife, rendering them SO stump billed
that they could not penetrate the shell
of an egg. We doubt, however, if this
is the best method to use. 1t certainly
requires considerable labor to do this
work in large flock. The medicated
egg has worked well in some in
stances. Why does it not work in all?

The Coming Peach Cron.

AT this writing the peach crop
throughout the country promises to be
fair as a whole, though western buyers
will have to pay high prices for them
on account of transportation charges
The winter greatly injured the peach
crop in the west and central north In
Georgia and neighboring states it was
at first believed that the buds were Sc
extensively frozen that the peach crop
would be very small. Later reports
from Georgia indicate conditions IA
vorable for a large crop. Similar re-
ports come from all of the seaboard
states that grow peaches. New Jersey,
Delaware, PENNSYLVANIA and Connec-
ticut will have large peach crops, and
the railroads are making great plans
to move the crop. How much of the
peach crop of the East and South will
get to Chicago and other western cities
we 90 not know, hut there is little
danger OF famine in peaches.

rabies IN Domos eic Aninals

babies In Domestic Animals
In some parts Of the country rabies
seems to be on the increase. DR.. Sal
mon calls particular attention to this,
and as an example cites its increase
IN the District OF Columbia. He says:
There has been a marked increase IN
the number Of rabid dogs discovered
in the District Of Columbia during the
past year (year ending June 80, 1900.
IN previous years the number brought
to the attention of the authorities was
as follows: 1898, IL; 1895. 2; 1896, 5;
1897, 8; 1898, Z; 1899, Jan. 1 to June 30,
4. For the fiscal year ending June 80.
1900. the number of cases was 4b. In
addition, COWS, cat, and / morse
were tested and found to have died OF
rabies Four men and Is children were
bitten. The continued prevalence OF
serious condition and one that demands
earnest consideration. Rabies is a dis
ease that originates only from con-
tagion. In the vast majority OF cases
st is caused by the bite of rabid dog.
If, when an outbreak occurs dogs are
kept securely isolated or are properly
muzzled for a sufficient time to cover
the period of incubation, the disease
Is easily stamped out. 1t seems mex
cusable, therefore, to allow the con-
tagions to be propagated indefinitely,
causing untold suffering to the affected
animals and menacing the lives Of per-
sons, particularly children, who go
upon the streets.

An object Lesson to GRANT,

This story is told of the first time
Grant ever had charge Of large body
Of men sent out to give battle. He was
colonel in the early part OF 1852, de-
tailed to go to the relief of an Illinois
regiment, supposed to be surrounded
by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo, but
when he arrived the regiment had re.
Iieved itself by retiring. Grant then
went out to Florida, in the same state,
and as the regiment toiled over the hill
beyond which the enemy was supposed
to be in waiting Grant says he would
have ''given anything to be back again
in Illinois"
At the top of the hill, instead of
troops drawn up in battle array, Grant
saw a deserted camp. at occurred to
me at once that Harris had been as
much afraid CT me as | had been of
him. said Grant From that event to
the close of the war l never experience
ed trepidation upon confronting an en-
envy, though 1 always felt more or less
anxiety. 1 never forgot that he had as
much reason to fear my forces as
had his. Syracuse Post-Standard.

Her brilliant Inspiration.

That the proverbial absentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by story told
of Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to the
club just as he and madam were re-
turning from an evening call.
But" said the lady, 81 must have
the front door locked before l retire"
This emergency staggered the pro-
fessor, and as he looked beWildered at
his wife the lady, seized with an in
SEPARATION, continued:
sI'H go in and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window"
This programme was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to a friend as eyi-
dence Of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with a
roar of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, "did you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come awayP'
'"True," calculated the learned man
Of science; 1--WE never thought of that.
The climax Of the incident was reach
ed an hour later when, returning home
the professor discovered that the lady
in her excitement had thrown out the
wrong key.

: To Judge an Opal. x--ges.

An expert on opal mining has recent
II explained how the opal is Judged as
to quality and desirability. First he
says, color is of the greatest .impor-
lance. Red fire, or red in combination
with yellow, blue and green, are the
best. Blue by itself is quite valueless,
and the green opal is not of great value
unless the color is very vivid and the
pattern very good. The color must be
true-that is to say, it must not run in
streaks or patches, alternating with
colorless or inferior quality.
Pattern is described as being an i'm
portant factor, the several varieties be-
known as 'piR fire" when the grain Is
very small, harlequin" when the color
Is all in small squares, the more reg
ular the better, and the clash fire. or
flash opal' when the color shows as a
single flash or in very large pattern.
Harlequin is the most common and is
also popularity considered the most
beautiful. When the squares of color
are regular and show as distinct, mi
mute checks Of red, yellow, blue and
green, it is considered. magnificent.
Some stones show better ON edge than
on top.

To Dwarf Trees.

To dwarf trees as the Chinese do you
must follow their methods. They take
a young plant, say a seeding or cut
ting of cedar when two or three inches
high, cut off it's taproot as soon as it
has enough other rootlets to live upon
and replant it in a shallow pot or pan,
allowing the end Of the taproot to rest
upon the bottom Of the pan. Alluvial
clay nodded to the size of beans and
just sufficient in quantity to furnish a
scanty nourishment is then put into
the pot. Water, heat and light are per-
mitted on the same basis.
The Chinese also use various me-
chanical contrivances to promote SYM
metry of growth. AS, owing to the
shallow pots, both top and roots are
easily accessible, the gardener uses the
pruning knife and the soaring iron
freely, SO that the little tree, hemmed
on every side, eventually gives up the
unequal struggle and, cOntenting itself
with the little life left, grows just
enough to live and look well.

why She Was Married.

It is queer how ironclad is the hold
of convention and conventional con-
siderations. They have a tighter grip
and a wider influence than law, rea-
son, sentiment or ethics itself. A wom-
an whose marriage may be termed
mediumly successful admitted can
didIy not long ago that at the very last
moment never, never would she have
married her husband had it not been
for the thought of all the conventional
considerations involved.
"On the way to our wedding" said
the woman, 1--WE had the most awful
kind of row that made me VOW in,
wardly never, never to marry him.
Then at the thought of the ceremony
to come off at a friends house, the
breakfast that, thanks to her, was pre-
pared and the invited guests, and how
they would all talk at any change of
plan, l grit my teeth and went through
it. But it was the thought Of the con-
ventions alone that kept me up. No
other possible pressure could have in
duced me to marry him after such a
row as we had on our way to the wed
ding"-NeW York Sun.

The Lost Bargain.

Is The Lost Bargain.
Il 1t is Monday morning. Down the
street hurries a stylishly dressed
woman.
q Why does she hasten so? Why that
look Of intense excitement in her eyes?
Is she going to the Office of her lawyer,
there to hear the will of her favOrite

these. She pulls a newspaper out of
her pocket and reads again the an
nouncement of the wonderful bargains
to be had at the department store.
She rushes frantically into the store.
Yes; she can see before her the rem
nant of pongee silk which is selling at
| only 10 cents a yard. What a crowd
of excited women are clustered about
the prize!
She forces her way into the thickest

and that. She cares not. Her hat is
pulled off and walked on by the half
crazed mob. She cares not. She
reaches the counter. Ten yards only
of the silk is left.

vance of four other women, all reach
ing for the coveted prize.

woman feels for her purse. She has
left it at home.

the pongee. The wonderful bargain is
gone. The bargain day is over. There
will be no more bargain sales for one

ascent of Finsterrehorn some years
ago thus described a novel sight which
delighted the tired climbers: The day
we mounted the Finsterrehorn we
were treated to the rare sight of a cir
cular rainbow, the phenomenon lasting
nearly half an hour and forming a
complete circle. There were heavy
clouds lying some 1000 feet below on
the Aar glacier, and it was on these
that the beautiful, brilliantly colored
ring lay. A second circle was also visi-
bic. We were near the summit of the
peak when the first Of the party OBJ
served it, and from that point the face
of the mountain on the Grimsel side is
almost perpendicular, giving us a
splendid view.

Telephoning Under the Ocean.

One of the latest and apparently most
important and practical developments
in the line of electric communication is
the invention of Professor Pupin of
Columbia university for the transmits
sion of telephone messages across the
Atlantic ocean and for other great dis
tances. At all events the Bell Tele-
phone company is convinced of the val
ue and practicability of Professor Pu-
pins invention, as the company has
contracted to pay him 100000 for it
and besides will give the professor an
annual salary of S., 800 to supervise its
introduction and operation.
The problem which Professor Pupin
has solved is that of maintaining cleo
trio energy in long distance transmits
sion. The invention is simple, merely
being a plan for renewing the electrical
waves by inserting every eighth Of a
mile on the cable a coil of wire known
as the inductance coil. These coils act
simply as relays, giving the electrical
waves fresh impetus. Speaking of his
invention, Professor Pupin says:
Sending a cable is a slow matter, you know,
for the cable has to be charged at each click of
the key. Each click exhausts the current. This
has been attributed to what electricians call the
Capacity of the cable. The problem ] had to
solve was to reduce the Capacity so that a
message could be transmitted clearly and rap
idly. 1 discovered at the outset that the slow
ness of transmission was due to loss of energy by
conversion into heat and otherwise. The puzzle
was to preserve this energy BY mathematical
calculation l demonstrated that this could be
done by means of 'choke' coil placed at regu-
lar intervals along the line. These "choke" coils
are of wire around a core Of metal. On a cable
line they should be at intervals of eighth OF a
mile; on land lines at intervals of mile.
The willingness of the Bell Telephone
company to pay SO large a sum of mon
ey for the right to use the invention in
dicates that it is of great practical val
ne and incidentally that there is for
tune as we'll as fame in the field of
scientific achievement for inventors
who know how to apply their genius to
the practical solution of the great prob
lens which confront them.
