Using an Income.

No one can use an income with true
economy who does not exert his best
judgment and put forth all the wis
dom he possesses to make it fulfill
the highest ends of which it is capa-
BILE in his peculiar circumstances. If
it does not make some lives better,
fuller and happier; If it does not de-
velop the body and educate the mind;
if it does not promote industry, hon
esty and good will; if, in fact, it does
nothing to elevate and improve man
kind, then waste and not economy is
shown in its management.

POULTRY SHOW ID
 BE GREAT SUCCESS
Alabama Ass'n's Annual Exhi-
 bition Began Yesterday
MORE THAN 1000 FOWLS
Chickens Are Beauties and Judge VIII Find 1t No Easy Matter to Make Awards-Valuable
 Dogs Exhibited.

The annual show of the Alabama Pet Stock and Poultry association began yes- terday with more than thousand fowls growing and caekling as if they were self-conscious of being on parade.
 The show promises to be great snc- cess. and while the attendance was not as large as might have been desired yes terday it is expected to be considerably increased today and tomorrow. The an- nual event will close tomorrow night.
 Secretary Barber, Superintendent Me- Cafferty and their assistants were busy yesterday getting the fowls properly cooped and arranged according to variety. This work has about been finished and the fowls will be much more presentable this morning.
 There is every size fowl from the Bun Cochin to the Bantam in the show and every one of them seems determined to outrival the other in noise, if not In ap- pearance. To the ordinary observer 1t Is evident that Mr. Brown, the official judge. will have hard job in awarding the prizes. There are scores of fine chickens of the same variety which look just alike
 They are all pretty and show that the breeding of poultry Is an art requiring constant study. Blood shows in chick

PRODUCE MARKET
 IS FAIRLY ACTIVE
RUSH WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. EGGS TO ADVANCE ONLY TWO OR THREE CENTS.

The Birmingham wholesale produce market was fairly active yesterday but the great holiday rush will not begin un- til about the 10th or 20th of the month.
 Eggs are in light supply but there are enough to meet the demand. The price is unohanged 25c for fresh and 29c for cold storage Commission merchants do not believe that prices just before Christ mas will be at all excessive. An advance of from 2 to 3 cents Is about what they expect and this advance will hardly take place until the week before Chs mas.
 Turkeys are in good demand at 15c q pound on foot. Birds and rabbits are in good supply. Quail in first rste condition bring 2Oc and rabbits from 10 to l2ls cents.
 The market this week is not overtsock- ed with cabbage as was the case last week and the price has advanced quar- ter of d cent which makes the quotation 1Ac.
 Sweet potatoes are scarce and the price for good rtocks has risen to $2.5O bar rel Irish potatoes are unchanged at oo cents bushel Onions are brisk at 21a cents.
 Apple stocks now in the market are of inferior grades but there will be an improvement before Christmas Up to this time the apples have been very small.

ems the same as in men and horses Some are bred for laying eggs and others are bred for food. An expert who was admir- ing the fowls yesterday offered the in- formation that, generally speaking, leg horns are the best for laying, and that 4 lymouth rocks are better for food. There may be other experts who will tell of the superiority of other varieties, but this technical information Is merely given by a "layman" for what 1t is worth
 In addition to the poultry exhibit The Moses Kennels of East Lake, has placed several fine dogs on exhibition. The pie ture of his fine screw-tail Boston ter rer appears in this issue He has bull dogs, French poodles and Boston terriers. They are beautiful little pets and show that another industry of importance has sprung up near Birmingham
 The show is being given in the two vacant stores under the Belmont hotel' next to the city hall. An admission fee of ten cents is being charged to help de- fray the expenses of putting up the coops' rent and help hire.

A. A. Gambi1l the incumbent, is being opposed by John B. Reid and W. M. Newton. The election will probably be by open ballot.
 City physician Charles Whelan is being opposed by Dr. Ashworth. Capt. R. II. McCallom wants to be custodian of the city hall and bailiff of the police court, in place of J. J. Curran. Opposition is also mentioned in several other cases. The council may elect successor to Col. J. J. Altman, who resigned as an alder man from the sixth ward over a month ago, on account of being elected chan cellos.

DR. MCEE COMMENDS
 THE NEW BIRD EXHIBIT
Eminent Scientist Says the Educa tionaI Value of the Griffin ornitho-
 logical Collection Is Vast.

Judge N. B. Feagin has received from Dr. w. J. McGes, chief of the depart ment of antheopology at the St. Louis exposition, a letter that sets out inter- estingly the enduring advantages of the ornithological exhibit soon be to estab- lished by Mir. Griffin.
 "Whatsover the temporary conditions" says Dr. McGee, 'the fact remains that object-teaching is the most useful kind of instruction, especially in an industrial community such as yours is destined to be for generations. Earlier in the history of this country, boys and girls grew up on the farm or in the village in daily contact with objects and processes and products each inculcating it's lesson in a way so simple and direct as to awaken no thought of didactics or pedagogy-day by day the knowledge came.
 with growth of population and atten- dant differentiation and specialization, this everyday method of acquiring knowi- edge has become less effective. and this for many reasons which will readily oc- cur to you; and to meet the new condi- tions the schools are changing, albeit less rapidly than the primary conditions-they are introducing more and more the methods of object-teaching and of so- called manuel training, which is really a training of eye and brain and all other faculties.
 Both the object teaching and the manual training involve collections, and hence museum facilities or greater or less extent. In smaller towns collections ade- quate for the purposes may be installed in the school buildings themselves; in cities large enough to maintain high schools, museums were better established either independently or in connection with the high schools. The important point for educators to siege is that the museum should be recognized as an essential part of the school system. Properly conduct ed, any museum howsoever small serves to render knowledge both practical and palatable; so that it tends to a real edu- cation in which the growing mind is led rather than driven."
