put TO tempt the fowls. The bait is
corn scattered on the bottom of the
box, which is covered with glass. The
fowls are lured by hunger onto the
board and they pick at the kernels they
can see but cannot get. The weight of
the fowl releases the slide in the grain
box and enough food falls TO the
ground to satisfy the hungrlest of owls.
The idea is that fowl will not walk
onto the boards unless hunger prompts.

No Wheat Famine Imminent.

Argentina, according to a book just
published by German authority, X.
Gerger, has 157,OO0000 acres suitable
for wheat. This Is three to four times
our present wheat area At present
Argentina produces about 95.O00,0OO
bushels a year. Herr Kerger asserts
that it can raise at least twenty-four
times as much, or over $3.50, 100000
bushels, when all the land capable of
growing wheat is under cultivation.
This would about double the existing
wheat supply in the world. Calcutta
tions of this character are always more
or less illusory, but there is no doubt
whatever that IN the humid region Of
Argentina only about one-sixtieth OF
the surface is as yet under the plough.
and that the supply Of wheat lands
seems to be equal TO any possible fu-
ture demand for years to come. Since
1890 when Mr.. Robert Woods Davis
was predicting that the United States
by this time would be importing wheat
the world supply OF wheat has more
than kept pace. in good years, with

A GAMBLING CLUB.
Whites Gaming House in the Time
of the Georges

From Longman's Magazine.
The celebrated Whites Club was in
the beginning principally a gambling
house. Professional players, provided
they were free from the imputation of
cheating, easily procured admission.
The celebrated beetle browed, high
shouldered Earl of Chesterfield lived
there. gaming and pronouncing With
cisms, yet warning his son that a
member of a gaming club should be a
cheat or he would soon be a beggar!
The gambling that went on there in
early years of George III was frightful.
The kindly, high bred, extravagant
Earl of Carlisle lost 10000 there in
one night. Sir John Bland, who shot
himself IN 1855, flung away his whole
fortune there. Lord Mountford was
another who came to tragic end
through his losses at Whites. Having
gambled away large sums, and fearing
to be reduced to distress, he asked for

ILL-FATED MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Assassins and GuiIlOtines Love a
Shining Mark.

Marie Antoinette, Archduchess of
Austria, daughter of Francis l., and
Maria Theresa, his wife, was born at
Vienna, Nov. ,. 1850. She was carefully
educated, but greatly INDUCED. To this
fact may be contributed her unconven-
tionality and the amable weakness
which she displayed when, as mere
girl of fifteen, she became the wife
of the Dauphin of France, afterward
Louis XVI.
Marie Antoinette was indeed charm
ingly beautiful. She has been described
by contemporaries as being slender,
with all the suppleness of girl and
the dignity OF a woman, and finely
proportional. Her features were not
classical. but were pretty rather than
regular. Her face was oval and some
what long. Her lips, particularly the
under one. had the thickness charac~
teristic of the Austrians, but her
mouth was small and well arched, her
arms were superb. her hands perfect
her feet charming and her nose-a del

HAND SEWED LAYETTES.
The Average OUTFIT for an Up-to-
Date Baby Costs 800.

New York, Jan. 10-One hundred
dollars is the price of the average
baby's wardrobe The layette that was
bought in Paris for Mr.. Pierpont Nor
gan's latest grandchild cost 5000, and
there is a society of charitable ladies
that finds it possible for so to make
up a perfectly adequate wardrobe for
babies with whom dress is not a mat
ter of supreme moment; yet the aver
age mother who does her duty by her
infant is obliged to spend not less than
a hundred dollars on a nice layette,
inclusive of the basket and bath tub,
as well as the bibs. This seeming ex-
traVaganCe is due to a tradition hand
ed down no doubt from Ewes own
nursery, that babies shall be dressed
in handmade clothes. 1t is an I'M
natural and heartless mother who
would dare ask her necessarily contid-
ing infant to wear machine sewed gar
ments, and it is the expense of the
hand work that makes baby clothes
so costly. The hundred dollar outfit
does not include tucks. real lace or
embroidery, but il does include thor
oughly comfortable, thought a far more
limited trouSSeau than mothers used
to think necessary.
Dresses, gowns, bands and caps by
the dozen are no longer boarded up
against baby's arrival. and the old es-
innate for a complete layette is cut
down by half while of that half the
major portion is made on approved
patterns. The clothes have been great
ly reduced in bulk, and what the baby
evidently apprecia ties most is that they
are arranged to slip off and on with
the least possible trouble. Nearly all
the flannel used in the modern infants
clothes is of the new variety that is
guaranteed against shrinkage by
judicious Intervening of cotton; the
bands that are bound first about their
bodies are merely picked at the edges
instead of being broadly hemmed. and
