You see. what you want is to select a
hen something OF a wedge shape. a lit
tie long over the back and deep through
the heart: that gives plenty of room
for the ovaries, and that insures heavy
egg production. We are studying it
very closely and last year we had $50
hens in one house that produced 20l
eggs per hen.
But we are not satisfied with that
We want to increase the egg production
still further. But don't you see that.
as soon as the hen puts on fat. It
dwarfs her egg production? When a
dairy COW puts on fat. 1t dwarfs her
milk production. Just upon the same
plan. There is the difference between
success and failure IN the business.

PeuniIess London.

London, says Mr.. Sydney Brooks in a
recent Harper's Weekly, is very hard
up just now. The shopkeepers are
complaining that business was never
so slack, that people are spending moth
ing on luxuries, and that they are over
whelmed with demands for extended
credit-a woman who pays her dress
maker within twelve months thinks
herself a model of punctuality. The
same depression is felt by the theaters,
restaurants, booksellers, art dealers
and business houses. The cause of all
this, says Mr.. Brooks, is chiefly South
Africa. The fiscal issue has probably
been a contributive cause, and the Rus
so-Japanese war has also done much to
unsettle things.

Italy and the EVIL Eye.

It is hard for us to realize the deadly
significance to an Italian Of the sug
gestion that one may have the evil eye.
I was walking one day with young
American girl to whom had been IN
folding some Of the tragedies have
known connected with the supersti-
ton. She took it all lightly and joy
ously, after the manner Of her kind,
and later, during our walk, when
saucy, tormenting beggar pursued us,
she made the sign of the corni as I had
described it to her, shaking the hand
slightly, with the first and the fourth
finger extended. Then the beggar be-
came convulsed with anger and seemed
almost beside herself, shrieking out
such a torrent of abuse that we were
glad to jump into cab and fly from
the wrath to come. The poor creature
was not to be blamed; she knew that
once the shadow of suspicion falls it
means social accommodation, Danish
ment outside the pale of whatever So
ciety one belongs to.-Century.

Made His Own Jail.


Among the early Comstockers, the
makers of Virginia City, New, were
some of the toughest specimens of hui
mainly loose in the world in those days,
and perhaps the most primitive one in
the lot was Red Nike The fellow
appeared to be equipped only with
brute instincts, but there was human
intelligence of sort in the back Of
his head, and he gave an exhibition Of
prudential forethought that would
have been creditable to a wiser man.
Red Mike" was employed as brick
layer in the building of Jail, which
was one Of Virginia City's first and
most imperative needs, and he thought
fully omitted the mortar and laid a
number of bricks dry and loose at sew
eral places in the wall
In the natural order Of things "Red
Nike committed serious offense and
was thrown into Jail to await trial, for
even in the early days the Comstock
usually tried a man before hanging
him. The next morning the jail was
empty. RED Mike" had made a hole
in the wall by taking out some Of his
own handiwork, and when he went out
he took all the other prisoners with
him

GLORY OF THE MIDDLE WEST
The People as the MOST Interesting
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair.

The People as the MOST Interesting
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
Walter H. Page, editor of the Worlds
Work, writes in the August issue of
that magazine from ST. Louis this
striking impression Of the worlds fair
and the significance of the growth of
the Mississippi valley:
Its simply impossible to tell the
story OF course we can describe the
fair, it's wonders and glories and its
great spectacle. But the fair isn't the
main thing; it's the American people.
1--WE are great, we of this vast val
ley. Here we are with our wives and
children. We wear good clothes. The
jayhawker and the blue jeans man are
not any longer among us. We are
clean shaved; no clodhoppers we. We
grow good corn; we have great, ar
tistic house built Of corn, bigger than
most buildings at previous fairs, and
another one of cotton. We have learn
ed to keep our cows clean, and our
diaries are scientific. Our wives are
healthful women; good looking enough
too. They talk freely with men and
frankly out of their honest souls, and
they are as womanly and modest as
their grandmothers were who thought
it wrong to speak to a stranger. Our
children are here with us-eager little
chaps, with clean clothes on and
boundless curiosity in their eyes, We
do everything that comes along heart
lily. We look at the biggest locomotive
and we drink Ceylon tea. Nothing
daunts us. We ask anybody any ques-
ton about anything that we wish to
know. We say to ourselves, We can
do anything We get in gondola;
we ride a camel; we see Santiago cap
tured; we talk with Filipinos; we study
Queen Victoria's jubilee presents; we
gaze on mummies from the tomb of
Rameses; we study chickens, flowers,
minerals, gowns from Paris, japanese
silks and furniture, all the same day.
''The world is ours. And at 4 p. m.
we cheer a baseball game. At night
we look upon acres of electric lights as
if they were an every night experience.
We walk miles and miles and never
give out. No man alive can describe
the people. They are constant joy.
To watch them, to hear them, to talk
with them, is the most instructive and
cheerful experience of ones life. We
may do foolish things in public life and
in private. We have foolish politicians
and foolish newspapers. But we are
sound and safe nowsand forever. There
is nothing like the midcontinental
American citizen and his family. I
haven't seen discourteous, i'll natured,
repulsive or unpleasant human act or
human being here-nor an uncheerful
one

WhistIer's Fine Airs.

Mortimer Menpes, the artist, in his
book on Whistler, says: sometimes
we visited a dealer who owed him
money, and Whistler would receive
check Once the check was not handed
to him in what he thought a sufficient
ly dignifed manner, and he said to the
dealer: This is careless of you. You
push this check toward me, and you
do not realize what privilege it is to
be able to hand it to the master. You
should offer it on a rich old English
salver and in kingly way Once q
dealer borrowed a gorgeously embossed
silver salver for the occasion, and when
the master arrived for his check-he
was very punctual-presented it on the
salver with a carefully worded and
elegant little speech that he had taken
some pains to rehearse. The master
was pleased. This said he, is as It
should be-"

Gently arrived from New York, says
ellison Willets, the Paris correspondent
Of Leslie's Weekly. He is a musician,
a pianist of exalted rank, who played
at the White House not long ago. He
is an officer in the Russian reserves on
his way to st. Petersburg to put on his
uniform. Said he:
Russia moves slowly, but woe to- her
enemies when she exerts her full
strength. We have by far the largest
army in the world. Every year 9OO,0 600
young men arrive at the age when
they are liable to military service. If
they were all taken they would make
an army too large even for Russia, SO
only a quarter of them are received
into the army proper, the rest joining
the reserve forces. In war time the
Russian army consists of the stupen-
dous number Of 100000 men and 3d.
600 officers.
"Now, supposing the Japs take Dali
ny and Vladivostok and Port Arthur,
what Of it? When we get good and
ready we will simply come and retake
all those places-maybe not for several
years, but still we will do so some day.
1t is only a matter Of time when the
Japs simply must be driven out Of the
country which we have developed on
business principles "a country upon
which we have spent $500, 100000 and
which the Japs now wish to take as the
spoil of war"
