Fertility Of Eggs.
correspondent from |

A correspondent from Fulton,
county, Ohio, writes as follows:
'How long after a male bird has
been removed from the flock will tho
eggs remain fertile?" This is a
question to which apparently no
definite answer can be given. Some
experimental work has been carried
on along this line at several Of our
stations. The Ohio station, for in
stance, some years ago found that
after male bird was put with a
flock of pullets the latter began lay
ing fertile eggs the second day after
the introduction of the male and by
the 18th day the flock as whole
laid 95 per cent Of fertile eggs,
This is probably as high per cent
as may be expected under the most
favorable circumstances. A few
months after this experiment the
male bird was removed and tbs
hens continued to lay fertile eggs
for IL days, but comparatively
small per cent of them were fertile
by that time. The experiment was
discontinued and consequently it
cannot be stated definitely how long
some of them may have continued to
lay fertile eggs. Some of our poul-
try breeders consider it good plan
to change the male bird from one
pen to another about once per week.
1t is claimed that this insures. a
high per cent of fertile eggs. AS a
rule it is considered that one male
bird to twelve hens is the correct
proportion to maintain. If the eggs
are not intended for Matching it is
better not to allow male birds with
the hens. The New York expert
ment stations were investigating
this few years ago with a flock OF
pullets and came to the conclusion
that the pullets without male bird
among them produced eggs 80 pei
cent cheaper than did the flock with
a male bird.-Farmers' Tribune

The Cranes Of Ibycu,.

The well known story of the cranes
Of Ibycus is paralleled by one which is
told of hanging which took place ut
New London, Conn.,, many years ago.
The murderer who was hanged was
known to have had an accomplice in
his crime, but no hint could be had of
the identity of the other guilty party.
Just before the execution took place
(for it was a public one) stranger
came up hurriedly to the gallows and
said to the culprit who was about to be
hanged: "Goodby, Dennis. Don't blame
me-" By these words suspicion was
directed toward their utterer. and soon
after he was arrested and in due time
was convicted and executed for COM
plicity in the same crime as that for
which poor Dennis had already suffered
death.

W. e. Corey, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, is
little known to the general public,
although he is at the head of q con-
cern that employs 10000 men, and
the welfare Of millions therefore de-
pends upon him. He is in his office
every morning at $50 and there he
remains while there is work to do
sometimes until Z or s o'clock in the
evening. He is not a man of maxims
although he lays it down as gener-
al rule that if plain common sense
were oftener employed there would
be less trouble in the world. Twenty
three years ago he was earning $l5
a month, now his salaryis something
to make that of President Roosevelt
look small.

suuirrc1s Hid the suta.

In the North woods one season there
were two parties camping little dis
tance apart. One party carried into
the woods bag filled with tilberts,
almonds and other nuts. He hung the
bag up where he thought 1t would be
safe and the next day visited my friend
and his associates in the other camp,
being absent from his own camp two
or three days. When he returned my
friend went back with him and on the
way was told of the treat in store for
him in the shape of nuts. Upon reach
ing the camp, however, Il hole was
found in the top of the bag and every
nut gone. 1t was supposed the squir-
rels had carried them off to their
homes in the woods, and nothing more
was thought of it till the next day,
when my friend went to put on pair
of rubber boots hanging up in another
part of the camp, and in these boots
were all the nuts nicely stored away by
the squirrels for winter use.

A s,,ck,c. ro, promptne...

A certain merchant in Boston is
noted for being stickler in the matter
of promptness to the extent that he has
been known to walk out of church be-
cause the services did not begin
promptly and to leave his sister alone
in n strange city because she was four
minutes late in keeping an appoint
ment. Not long ago he overheard n
forceful exposition Of his popularity.
He had walked out to his stable and
was about to go in when he heard the
new groom within say to the coach,
man, as 1t thrue, Dolan. that the boss
is cracked about doing things on time
and goes into a fit whin anybody Is

"Thrue? Thrue?" cried Dolan. "Let

ut iliven o'clock and was late he'd FIND
himself gone whin he got there. That's

Value of a Hearty Laugh.
Philadelphia Ledger.

An English physician in search
for remedies for human ills finds
that laughter stands very high in the
list of prophylacties. The effects Of
mere cheerfulness as health pro-
moter is wellknown, but an occas-
ional outburst OF downrig .laughtsr
is the heroic remedy. It is a matter
of every day experience, says our
English authority, that one feels the
better for good laugh, an exposi-
ton of laughter being in truth a
nerve storm, comparable in its eff
feet to a thunderstorm in nature,
doing good by dissipating those OPP
pressive clouds of care which some-
times darken the mental horizon" /"
This authority assures US that the
memorable adage, Laugh and grow
fat" rests on sound philosophical
basis. Portly people are not given
to laughter because they are fat;
they are fat because they laugh.

The House of Gould

1t is difficult to account for the
Goulds-George and Helen-on the
source of heredity. Lacking himself,
how did the railroad wrecker come to
endow his children with character?
| Or did they inherit from the mother?
No woman OF America has done
more good, given more unselfish
service, than Helen Gould. And no
woman commands more sincere re-
gard.
George is also revised and great
ly improved edition. of the elder
Could He is no cherubim, perhaps.
But he has exhibited some fine traits
of character.
This is an instance:
Mr.. Gould, had until recently, a
president of the Wabash railway who
sought every means to make money
for his employer laudable ambi-
ton. But in his desire for profits he
went to far and Mr.. Gould asked for
his resignation.
Alter long struggle the Wabash
railway secured an entrance into
Pittsburg. The company built a
handsome station in the city. In ar
ranging Accommodations the Wabash
president provided a handsome bar
and applied for a license to sell
4liquor The exclusive privilege was
worth several thousands year to the
railroad company.
When Mr.. Gould heard of the ar
rangements, says Pittsburg paper.
he was furious" He telegraphed to
Pittsburg to have the license revoked
and to abandon the enterprise.
Rather surprising.
| Mr.. Gould, like his father before
him, enjoys money making. There
was big money in the saloon scheme.
Few persons would ever know the
Wabash was engaged in the bust
ness. What would the elder Gould
have done?
But it seems George has a con-
science that is rather more than rudi-
mentary. Also some ideas of deli.
cacy. lie is a little choice in his
methods.
Old Jay Gould had neither quick
conscience nor good taste.
Two of his children seem to have
been endowed with both these quail
ties.-Des Moines News.

The charities Of Miss Helen Goul

The charities of Miss Helen Gould
amount to about $50O,O00 annually,
and while this amount seems small
in comparison to the greatsums given
away by Messrs. Rockefeller and
Carnegie, it must be borne III mind
that Miss Gould's donations are
nearly all Of a personal nature. 1t
is said by authorities on the subject
that Miss Gould contributes to more
individual charities than any other
person in the world. Through her
secretary more than $3,50O,OO0 has
been distributed to thousands of
benefciaries. About 200 personal
letters asking for help are sent to her
each day, but they are thoroughly
digested before Miss Gould sees them
most of the applicants proving un-
worthy. In one week requests
amounting to $1,5O0,000 have been
made.

Origin Of "nulc britannia. /.

It Is a curious fact that Great Brit
ain owes "Rule, Britannia" to the sug-
gestion of prince who had few Eng
lish sympathies and no lovo of tho sea.
Frederick. prince of Wales. when re-
siding at Clifden House wished to
have mask performance there on
tho 1st Of August, 1740. to conmemo-
rate the accession Of George I. and the
birthday Of Princess Augusta. The
prince commissioned Thomson to write
something for the occasion, and the
words Of "Rule, Britannia" were the
result. DR.. Arne set them to the fa-
millar air, which became so popular
that Handel used the opening bars in
his Occasional Oratorio," 1740. to the
words, "Wnr shall cease. welcome
peace" In 1751 Mallet produced q
new version Of the words, '1mproved''
by Lord Bolingbroke, who substituted
three stanzas of bis own for the fourth
fifth and sixth Of the original. OF thil
