saUANDERED A FORTUNE.
Marquis of Anglesey, Who Ran
Through Millions, Passes Away
at Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo, March 15.-Henry Cyril
Paget, marquis of Anglesey, died here
Tuesday. The marquis was notable,
through his personal and financial &C.
centricities. His wife arrived here two
days ago, and was reconciled with her
husband on his deathbed.
The death of the marquis of An
glesey is much regretted at Bangor,
Wales where, despite his idiosyncia-
sizes. he was greatly liked. The shops
there are closed, as mark of respect
for the deceased.
In the short space of six years the
young clothes and jewel maniac" as
he is commonly described, ran through
magnificent property and s2.500,0 900
in addition to his annual income Of up
wards of 100000 derived from the
family estates. Last summer the
crash came and 1t was found that the
marquis unsecured liabilities were
over $1,250,000. The marquis had
since been living on the continent on
an allowance made by his creditors.
His short career has furnished sue

Sir George Chetwynd; their subse-
Quent divorce and the almost immedi-
ate cancellation thereof, his passion
for private theatricals and the enor-
nous sums expended on staging pro-
auctions at his private theater for the
delectation Of a few house parties, and
finally the revelations regarding his
extravagances. When the creditors
Of the marquis ransacked Anglesey
castle they found it literally packed
with valuables of every description
| The contents of one unlocked drawer
alone were valued at $125,OO0, while
among the crockery in the pantry was
found rock crystal ever recently
sold at auction for $4,000.

sslectins EEs Producer


A serious mistake is often made in
selecting fowls for breeding purposes
and In selecting eggs for Matching. A
correspondent Of Farm Home says: On
many farms the custom Is to select
eggs for Matching during the spring
months, when nearly all Of the fowls
are laying. No matter how poor lay
Or hen may be. the chances are that
most Of the eggs will be produced dur
Ing the spring and early summer
months. A hen that has laid many
eggs during the winter months is quite
likely to produce fewer eggs during the
spring and early summer months than
one that commenced to lay on the ap-
proach Of warm weather. Springtime
- natures season for egg production.
All fowls that produce any considera-
Bile number Of eggs during the year are
likely to be laying at this time. It ID
therefore plain that whenever eggs are
selected in the springtime from flock
Of mixed hens composed Of some good
layers and some poor ones a larger per-
centage Of eggs will be obtained from
the poor layers than at almost any 9TH
er season of the year. A serious mis-
take is therefore made in breeding
largely from the improbable fowls.
Whenever it is possible fowls that are
known for the great number of eggs
that have produced during the year
should be selected for the breeding pen.

HEAVY DAMAGE BY STORM
CAUSES TWO DEATHS IN SOUTH
ERN CALIFORNIA.
Several Bridges Washed Away
Shows Signs of Breaking After
Raging for Two Days.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 15.-The vio-
lent and extensive storm that has
swept southern California since last
Sunday morning from San Diego to Te-
hachapi mountains, interrupting all
communication with northern Cal
ifornia, both telegraphic and tele-
phone, demoralizing railroad traffic and
flooding the entire country with three
to five inches of rainfall, shows signs
of breaking. The casualties and dam
age in the vicinity of Los Angeles due to
the storm may be briefly summed up as
follows:
Two men reported drowned by the
washing away of the Seventh street
bridge; five persons injured by the col
lapse of the Seventh street bridge spans;
several other bridges reported to be
in weakened condition as result of
the storm. The damage by the storm
along the Santa Monica beach is es-
timated at 100000. The Auditorium, al
Ocean Park, was wrecked and 300 fee!
of pier washed away. Great damage
has been done to work under way al
Venice.
Two hundred feet of piling of the Sar
Pedro breakwater washed away. Trains
on the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
are stalled by washouts Trees in variou.
parts of the city were blown down b.
the high wind of Sunday. Many cul
verts were washed out and the streets
badly damaged. The Methodist churcl
on Boyle Heights was struck by light
ming. The rain was accompanied b.
the unusual feature of thunder an,
lightning and hail.

An Esq Producer.

Green cut bones are not used as ex.
tensively as they should be, because
grain can be obtained with less difhcul-
y and at minimum cost, but as egg
producing material the bone is far su-
perior to grain and does not cost more
thnn grain in some sections. The cut
ting Of the bone into available sizes Is
now rendered an easy matter, as the
bone cutter is within reach Of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher contain more OF
less meat. and the more Of such meat
the better. as 1t win cost no more per
pound than the bone, while the combi-
nation Of both meat and bone Is an
excellent food from which to produce
eggs.
