The keenest of British poultry

said of himself in another connection,
"a child in these matters as COM
pared with the poultry farmers of
China. A traveller passing through
the province of Chekiang few weeks
ago was struck with the enormous
number of young chickens carried in
the farmers cart he met in the
Tintal country. He made inquiries
on the subject, and al lvngtn he was
asked by poultry farmer to go and
inspect his rearing arrangements.
The plant deals with 10000 eggs at
time and the average product is 5000
chicks. The arrangements are sim
pie and inexpensive, but they include
opportunities for the scientific ex-
animation of the eggs in the course
of incubation. and it is amusing to
hear that where the eggs on examin-
alton through the testing holes do
not show signs Of fertilization at the

THE OWLS ENEMIES.
With All Their Precautions They Re.
ceive No Mercy from Birds.

AS they (owls) are incapable of sup.
porting the light of the day, or. at
least, of then seeing and readily
avoiding their danger, they shut them
selves up during the day in some
obscure retreat. If they be seen out of
these retreats in the daytime they may
be considered as having lost their way,
as having by some accident been
thrown into the midst OF their enemies
and surrounded with danger. In this
distress they are obliged to take shell
ter in the first tree or hedge that offers
Till the returning darkness once more
supplies them with a better plan of
the country. But it too often happens
that, with all their precautions TO con-
ceal themselves, they are spied out by
other birds and are sure TO receive
no mercy. The blackbird: the thrush,
the jay, the bunting and the redbreasts
all come in file and employ their little
arts of insult and abuse. The smallest,
the feeblest and the most contemplate
OF this unfortunate birds enemies are
then the first to injure and Torment
him. They increase their cries and
turbulence round him. flap him with
their wings, and are ready TO show
their courage to be great, as they are
sensible that their danger is but small.
The unfortunate owl, not knowing
where to attack or whence to fly. pa
tiently sits and suffers all theil in
suits. Astonished and dizzy, he only
replies to their mockeries by awkward
and ridiculous gestures, by turning
his head and rolling his eyes with an
air of stupidity. 1t sometimes
happens that the little birds
pursue their insults with the same i'm
prudent zeal with which the owl pur-
sued his depredations-they hunt him
the whole day, but when night comes
he makes his pursuers pay dear for
their former sports; nor is.a man al
ways an unconcerned spectator. The
bird catchers have got an art of coun-
terfeiting the cry of the owl exactly,
and having before climbed the
branches of hedge, they sit unseen
and call. At this all the little birds
flock to the place where they expect
to find their well known enemy, but in
stead of finding their stupid antagonist
they are stuck fast to the hedge them
selves. This sport must be put into
practice an hour before nightfall in
order to succeed, for if it is put off till
later those birds which but few
minutes sooner came to provoke their
enemy will then fly from him with as
much terror as they just before show
ed insolence.-Notes and Queries.

Artificial Flowers.

Fashion is responsible lui many IN
ventions. This is the case with the
manufacture of artificial flowers, for
their demand was due to caprice of
fashion. In Italy during festival
time it was decreed that flowers
should be worn in and out of their
season, and that their color should
be retained Many plans for solv-
ing the problem we're brought for
ward, and at last some one hit upon
the idea of making them of various
materials which would resemble the
real flowers. Later in the Middle
Ages. the artificial so far superseded
the natural that both men and women
decked their heads with imitation
flowers of cambric, glass, paper, wax
and metal. The most beautiful ar
tifcial blossoms are made in Paris,
and their making is one of the chief
industries of that city.

a Genius.

Miss Mears, who made the Frances
e. Willard statue that was unveiled
in the capitol at Washington. d. c.,
is genius. She began to model when
she was a child Before she was nine
years old her work was exhibited
and admired. She won the prize of
$500 offered by the Woman's club of
Milwaukee, Wis, for the best work of
art exhibited at the Worlds Column
bian exposition by a Wisconsin woman
1t was a symbolcal figure of that
state, which has since been put in
marble, and now stands in the rotunda
of the capitol at Madison. Up to
that time she was simply following
her instincts. All her technical in
struction was limited to six weeks at
the Art institution at Chicago. ILL.,, but
her work attracted so much attention
that Mr.. st. Gaudens admitted her to
his studio in New York City, where
she remained a year and half, and
then went to Paris, France. There she
won instant success, and in 1897 her
work was admitted to the salon. She
then went to Rome and Florence,
Italy, and at the completion of her
third year in Europe joined Mr.. st.
Gaudens and assisted him in his stu
dio for two years. Her design for the
Willard statue was the unanimous
choice of the commission.

The Grape.

The history of the grape is almost
as old as that of man. Growing in its
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
its luscious fruit recommended it to
the especial care of the patriarchal
tillers OF the soil and vineyards were
extensively planted long before orch
ards or collections of other fruit trees
were at all common.
The grape came originally from Per-
sia. From the latter country as civili-
zation advanced westward, this fruit
accompanied it-frst to Egypt, then to
Greece. Sicily. Italy, Spain, France
and then to Great Britain. to which
latter country the Romans carried it
200 years after Christ.
To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought
by emigrants and colonists the first
so years after its settlement.
There are vast number of varieties
of grapes, but there are really only
about a dozen varieties good for the
table. California produces the Tokay,
Muskat, Black Prince, Malaga, ETC.,
while the eastern states produce such
varieties as Concord. Catawba, Nj
agara, Delaware, Black Hamburg and
Isabella.-New England Grocer.

An interesting archaeological discov-
cry was made in the neighborhood Of
Bournemouth, England, recently. Dur
ing the construction Of new road
the excavators cut into mound,
which is indicated upon the maps as
an ancient burial ground, and a large
sun-baked clay urn was unearthed. 1t
was in remarkable state of preser-
vation, and was intact, though in re-
moving it the vessel was slightly
damaged. The urn was only buried
a few inches below the surface of
the ground; in fact, the roots of the
heather had forced their way into the
interior of the receptacle into the
ashes and dust it contained Upon
examination by experts, the urn was
estimated to be 2000 years old. AS
this road will penetrate through other
similar mounds, the work is to be
conducted under the supervision of
antiquarians, in the hope that other
articles of archaeological value may
