FIGURING UP THE SHORTAGE.

Fortunately only few of us are pinched
when Wall street values slump as they have
fashion of doing at frequent intervals.
Nevertheless, the bald facts presented by sta
tisticians regarding the recent break are in
teresting, showing, as they do, how the
other fellows wealth may evaporate even It
we have none ourselves to test the siren
uosity of life in "the street"
Figures show that the market values OF
great volume of railroad and industrial
stocks traded in New York at the present
prices show shrinkage in the last year of
81 100, 100000, compared with the high
prices of 1902.
The meaning of the figures is not to be
misunderstood by assuming they represent
sweeping away of established and So
called intrinsic values In great part they
represent loss Of ephemeral prices estab-
lished by extraordinary speculation.
It is such breaks in value that perpetuate
the existence of Wall street Action is as
necessary in that sphere as sunshine and
rain to the growing crops.

TURKEYS LAYING IN COOPS.

Since one of the drawbacks to success
full turkey-raising is the loss of eggs due to
turkeys making their nests long distance
from home, the possibility of inducing them
to lay when confined in runs has been stud
led at the South Carolina station, with two
lots, each containing two hens and one male
bird. Bronze birds years old in one case
and 3-year-o1d White Hollands in the other
were used Each lot was confined in a run
so by 100 feet, two nests covered at the
top to keep out the rain and partly hidden
behind some bush being provided in each
case. The turkeys were fed in the morn
ing to mash of wheat bran and cornmea
IL, with whole corn and wheat on alter
nate nights. Twice week they were given
ground bone and meat scrap and always
had access to oyster shells. The Bronze
turkeys laid forty-two eggs from March 70
to April 22, and the White Holland thirty
six eggs from March "a to May 4. At the
end of the tenth day examination showed
that thirty-eight of the former and twenty
seven of the latter eggs were fertile. TWEEN
ty-seven of the Bronze turkey eggs and six
teen of the White Holland eggs Matched
During incubation the Bronze hens broke
four eggs and the White Holland six, all OF
which were fertile. 1t is stated that all the
eggs which failed to hatch were laid during
the first two weeks of the test.-Massachu-

SELECT THE WINTER LAYERS NOW

The hardest work of the year. that of sep
arating and selecting the fowls that are to
be kept as next winters layers, is now upon
us, and Our efforts in this respect will de-
eide whether or not Our poultry will be
profitable.
All young chickens, by which we mean
all those Matched this season, now far
enough developed to very clearly show what
kind of fowls they will be at maturity. We
can therefore go over Our flock, selecting
from the others. A close watch should be
kept over them, and if some of those dis
carded seem to improve they may take their
place with the chosen few, for few it should
be until we are fully prepared and equipped
for caring for them. On the other hand,
should any of those selected for keeping
fail to grow as they should, they in turn
should be put with the other lot, and these
should either be used on Our own table or
sent to market as early as possible.
Only females should be kept together,
and these should have plenty of good muscle
and bone forming food and enough exercise
to keep them hustling throughout the en-
tire day.
The old hens that is, those not over two
years old, should also have especial atten-
ton, so that the moulting period will be
short and early one.
They should begin to moult in August
and should have their new coat of feathers
by the middle of October, at which time
they will begin to lay.
Do not allow them to get fat, bnt keep
them in good, healthy condition and en-

Nothing really so serious can happen to
man who does right. He may be torn by
wild beasts or wild men; he may be called
on to endure great physical sufferings; he
may be robbed of health, wealth and friends
yes, and life itself; but in wounds and
pain and sickness and poverty and death
there is nothing dishonorable, nothing that
affects the real self of man. The only
thing that is really able to get at a man and
harm him. in the citadel of his being is Sin
the personal, voluntary deliberate sur
render of the will to do that which is wrong.
This is what grand old Epictetus meant by
saying: ct is not possible that man can
be disturbed or hindered by any other thing
or person than himself. Why do I trouble
myself about anything that can happen if I
possess questions of soul? Never mind
about the trouble that others make for you
you can bear that all right; but watch out
watch out for the trouble you may make
for yourself by violating your own sense Of
right LThos. B. Gregory.

MARRIAGE AND MORTALITY.
Some Government Figures on "Causes q
Death by COnJuKai Conditions"

Deatn Dy eOnJukai SOnuiuOnS.
When the Government statisticians take
a tack away from the standard themes
of population, manufacturers, illiteraoy,
agriculture. mining and the occupations
of inhabitants and enter into the realms
of causes Of death by conjugal conditions:
they are on what may be called dangerous
ground. The figures which they furnish
have all the attributes of accuracy and
all the charm of interest and enlighten-
ment, but they precipitate controversies
of an extrahazardous and superperilous
variety.
Thus 1t appears-or is reported-that Of
$500 suicides in year. the average numbers
q 800 are those Of married, and only ], 200
OF single men.
or deaths from accidents II appears
that up to the age Of "a they are most COM
mon among single men. After that aga
either the single men become more careful
or the married men more careless, reckless
or Indifferent, for between "a and ~ there
are three times as many fatalities to married
mem between IS and IS five times as many.
and SO on in increasing ratio.
psratively rare in the United States, but
more married men than single men, accord
ing to the Government report, die from IL,
and divorced persons Of either sex appear
to be practically exempt:
figures can only be guessed ssDfor they are
published simply as a dispassionate con-
tribution to the broad store OF public knowl-
edge. Fortunately, perhaps, the con-
illusions to be deduced from them are not
guaranteed-they are not insured.
One really interesting feature OF the vital
statistics report OF the Federal Government
is the fact that suicide among colored people
Is practically unknown in The United States
In total Of $500 suicides, only 100 were
suicides OF colored people.

Of Business-To See the Mayor.
A committee Of five book dealers was ap-
pointed last night at a meeting held at An
derson's Fifth avenue place to call on the
Mayor and oppose the proposition to re-
quire dealers in secondhand books to take
out licenses, like junkmen. This committee
Is composed OF Isaac Mendoza Of II Ann
street, Frederick d. Lacy Of @. p. Put
namss Sons. S. F. Mclean Of $50 Sixt h

tenth street and j. o. Wright Of East
Forty -second street. The committee was
also authorized to help any dealer who
might get into trouble through attempted
application to them OF the ordinance relat-
ing to secondhand dealers.
The ordinance, IL enforced In regard to
the bookdealers, would limit them to pur-
chasing between A. NJ. and sunset and
would forbid their purchasing outside Of
their stores, thus preventing them from
going to private houses and buying. Sec
ond hand books would have to be displayed
for thirty days before being sold and be
sold In the exact condition In which they
were when purchased.
Mr.. Wright said that he had recently
paid 81 100 for a book which he had sent

would deny him that privilege. The ordi-

About one hundred men were present,
including representatives OF some OF the

have plenty Of money and was apparently
engaged in no business, for he passed nearly
all his time at the hotel with his young
wife. TO whom he IVES much devoted.
Mr.. Morehouse rushed downstairs from
his apartments shortly after o'clock in

Tumbridge. the proprietor. that his wife
had accidentally taken poison. He asked
to have a physician summoned as quickly
as possible.
DIR. W. s. Searles OF % Clark street was
called up on the telephone, and he reached
the hotel In few minutes. He found that
the young woman was suffering from the
effects OF bichloride OF mercury poisoning,
and on his advice she was taken in the
evening to the Long Island College Hos
pital
DIR. Searles was told by the husband that
his wife had taken from seventy to eighty
grains OF the drug in twelve tablets. which
she had dissolved in water.
The removal Of the patient to the hospital
was made without any notification to the
police authorities or the coroner, although
her condition at the time was regarded as
serious. Mrs. Morehouse had been using
the mercury tablets as lotion, one being
dissolved In quart Of water at time.
She died yesterday morning at o'clock

hours later when Coroner Flaherty was
notified OF the case. He expressed much
surprise that his attention had not been
