Didn't Even Hesitate

A well-known actor who had been
visiting out-of-town friends over sun
day, not long ago. hurried down to the
little station on Monday morning, with
the intention of taking certain train
into the city After making few in
quiries of the colored porter who was
attending to his duties about the plat
form, he finished w saying:
And you say the hexr train surely
stops at this staticuF'
YES sub, de very mex train stops at
dis place 70 shuh. sub" was the an
swer. at which the actor sat down con-
tentedly to read his morning paper. a
few minutes later the distant shrek
of train whistle was heard and he
jumped up, grasped his satchel and
stood ready to board the approaching
train. To his surprise and annoyance.
the Grain, which was fast express.
rushed by through a cloud of whirling
dust. He looked after the disappear
ing train through his dust-tilled eyes,
then turning TO the darby, who stood
close by with mouth and eyes big and
round with establishment, he exclaim.
| ed:
Well. that train didn't stop here
did it,"
'.No subj" was the reply, 'she didn't
even hesitate. New York Clipper.

coops for Young chicks.

When the early-hatched chicks are
two or three months old 1t is a good
plan to go over the flock and take out
such pullets as are promising and which
will form the layirs flock of the win
ter. Such chicks must be separated from
the main flock, so that they may be
given the need attention, and must
be provided with shelter at night, even
though they have the range during the
day. Coops like that shown in the Illus
tration are inexpensive, as they are
formed from large dry goods boxes.
Saw the back of box so that slant
ing roof may be nailed on and be COW
cred with tarred paper to make it wa
terproof
The door is hinged to the box and
the Illustration shows how it is hooked
up during the day when the chicks are
out. The three anger holes of good size
just above the door provide ventilation,
although at one side is an opening to
permit fresh air in the coop while the
weather is warm, this opening to be Sc
curely covered with heavy wire netting
of rather fine mesh. If for any reason
1t is desirable to eonGne the birds for
any portion of the day, they will be
quite comfortable If a water can is
placed inside the coop, as shown in
Figure l, and it Is secured at either
side by loop of wire to screw, so
that 1t cannot be tipped over. The wa
ter may be poured into the can from
the outside, through the wire netting.
The small food trough, shown at Figure
3, is so simple anyone can make it. Two
end pieces are secured by a bottom
board. the desired size; Il narrow strip
is placed at the back and another strip
nailed from the highest point.
From these two strips are fastened
heavy wires, which permit the chicks
to thrust their heads through and get

HucKLEBgRRIEs IN NEW YORK.
During July and August Its DweiIers
Consume 10000 Bushels.

During the months of July aud Au-
gust 10000 bushels of huckleberries are
consumed in New York City. In no To-
cality in the country do huckleberries Of
all varieties grow in greater profHsion
or of better quality than in the wild
mountain regions from which New York
draws its main supply. Hundreds Of
families depend in great measure on the
gathering of this crop Cor their livelihood.
Ii is no uncommon thing for the united
work OF a family to bring in as much as
S10 day while the season lasts, which
averages seventy days. One season On

more than one family the means to pur-

JApAN'S MERCANTILE MARINE


~ Duball, the French minister to
Japan. publishes some interesting de-
tails in the Bulletin EcoBomique of
IndoC concerning the Japanese
mercantile marine. The statistics re.
ferred to are taken from a report is
sued by the japanese minister Of COM
municaJions. and they deal with the
steady increase In the number of
steamers and sailing vessels in the Jap
anese merchant service during the last
four years:
Steam Ton Sairg Ton
ships. age. ships. age.
Jam, 1898. .627 429,174 ia 24,Oi4
Jan. 1899. .G79 4T0,534 LASS 1e5.7l0
Jan. 1900. 1853 49s,375 2,TS3 2T0,16I
Sep. 1921. .942 557.166 3.416 315,576
Thus it viii be seen that the Japan
ese mercantile marine has increased in
three and half years by 315 steamers
and 3.242 sailing vessels, the increase
in tonnage in each class being re-
spectively 1882 and 294.562 tons.
This is striking rate of progress and
one rarely met with in the case of
other countries. especially If the in
crease in the number of large steamers
Is taken into account. In fact. in 1896
Japan possessed only one merchant
steamer of tonnage exceeding 5000
tons, but at this moment it possesses.
twenty-one steamers whose individual
tonnage is above 5000 tons.
In proportion as the volume of ship
ping has grown so there has been an
increase in the number of seamen
available for manning the ships, and
1t is to be remarked that Japan can
provide it's own shippers and naval en-
gineers. At the end of last June, saws
the London Globe, the number of ships
officers with captains certificates and
of engineers was 1912, of whom
10, 107 were Japanese and only 304
were foreigners The number of en-
gineers sewing in the mercantile ma
rine of Japan was 2,791.

Sow Turuips.

The value of turnips does not consist
of the nutrition only. but in the service
performed in winter, when snecuiant
food is not plentiful A peck of turnips

Turnips can be grown quicker and at
