Using Green Cut Bone.

If one who raises poultry desires eggs, the feeding of cut bone is essen tial-not that the hens will not lay without the cut bone, but that they will lay so much better. that the small expense of the bone and the mill to cut it ought not to enter into the cal culati ton. Cut bone furnishes an al- most complete egg-making element, while several kinds of grain are re- quired to obtain the same elements. Bone mills are small In price, the small CT ones being easily operated by hand. The cost of the fresh bones at the butchers Is also small, and as pound of cut bone day for each dozen or fifteen hens is sufficient, one can see the expense is merely nominal.

Borrowing Habit.

Some people have formed the habit or borrowing until they think they can not get along without it. Never bor- row unless compelled to, for there Is nothing made by 1t. There Is a loss of time in going after the article and again in returning it, provided 1t is re. turned. Some people borrow so much they forget to return that which they have borrowed, and that is hard on the lender. It is at times a great accom- modatiop, but the nabit grows.

A Bad Bargain.

W. W. Jacobs, the English humorist, .elates the following story: 'I was looking at a butcher shops display when the butcher came out and said to an old man, Henry, I want you. What do you wantT the old man asked. Why said the butcher, I'll give you a shilling and joint of meat If you'll kill all the flies in my shop. All right said the old man. Give me the shilling first and the meat af- terward' The butcher handed out the shilling. Then the old man asked for a stick about a yard long. This was brought him. He grasped 1t firmly, went to the doorway and said: Now, turn 'em out, one at time.'"

Theology.-Our human theologies are easily shaken because they are but human Interpretation of the divine Scriptures. But the Gospel of the Son of God stands firm and immova- ble as the everlasting hills. Your the ologies appeal only to part of the race. Christianity appeals to all. And Chris tianity Is so universal in its spirit be- cause 1t is so eternal in Its power. It cannot be shaken because the spirit of Christ is resident within it.-Rev. John W. McCombe, Presbyterian, Ben sonhurst. x. '

Feed Mixed With Cobs.

A sample of wheat feed with admix- lures was found by the Massachusetts Station which contained a large quan- tity of ground corn cobs, when the la bel indicated that it contained corn and cob meal. Another sample was found to consist largely of ground wheat screenings, with relatively small amount of corn cobs. oat clip pings. wheat bran and middlings. A tendency to add to mixed feeds infe- rior shrunken wheat grains, resulting from the ravages of rust. was noted and consumers are cautioned to be on their guard against such deceptions.- Massa chusetts Ploughman.

A Chcap Window,

Wishing to have more light in his chicken house, and not having a sash convenient, one poultry raiser cut a hole for the window, tacked light mus lin to the edges of the boards around the hole, then took paint brush and gave it a coat of linseed oil and 1t an- swered the purpose splendidly. The muslin should be stretched tight and the edges doubled to prevent the tacks from pulling through. The muslin Is cheaper and easier to put in than glass, and requires neither sash nor frame as the glass does.

New Potatoes From Old.

Certain English potato buyers were surprised at the abundance of new potatoes on the market extremely early in the season, also at the toughness of the skins. On investigation It was found that the tricky producers had buried some old potatoes in the soil for some time, thus freshening them up and improving their complexion, so that they were able to pass for new potatoes, although not of first quality.

PITCHER A. REAGAN
 ARRIVES IN TOWN
KANSAS BOY SAYS HE IS GLAD TO GET BACK TO SLAGTOWN-HE THINKS BIRMINGHAM A WIN NER.

The first Coal Baron has arrived in town. The new arrival is Arthur Reagan. the pitcher who did such good work for Birmingham at the close of last season. Secretary Sheppard sent ticket to Req gan several days ago and the slab artist came in from his home in Cherryvae Kan, yesterday afternoon. There was no brass band at the union passenger sta- tion to meet him, but II was not long before the fans got onto the fact that he was in town. Then there was q gen. eral hand-shal1ing.
 Reagan says that he has passed a very pleasant Kansas winter, and that he is in good trim.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

The date of the schedule meeting of the Southern league has been changed from tomorrow to today, according to a telegram received oy Secretary Sheppard last night from President kavanaugh. Mir Sheppard and probably one or two other representatives of the Birming- ham Baseball association. will go to Montgomery this morning for the meet ing.
 Mr. Sheppard said last night:
 T judge that the schedule suggested by President Kavanaugh will be adopted. as there seems to be no objection to it. Personally l like the schedule and will vote for it unless a very much better one Is presented at the meeting.
 T do not know of much other important bus mess to come up at this meeting, and l suppose that we will do very little except adopt the schedule. As far as I know there will be no changes in any of the rules governing the Southern league this year.
 Harry Vaughan, manager of the Barons and initial bsgnan, will not come down to Birmingham until the early portion Of next week, and then he will come to stay, He Is still working up in the neigh borhood of Cincinnati and other big league cities looking for choice morsel or two in the shape of ball player.
 Harry has written to Birmingham that he did not expect to cign more than one or two additional men, and that he was going to get only those who he thought would make good men. He does not care to have any more experiments on the team and the only additional timber he would sign would be men whom he knew would make good.
 In Just eleven days the spring practice of the Barons will commence They have been ordered to report to Manager Vaughan on March 5, and a large maior- ity of the team will be here on that date. Two or three men are expected here to- day or tomorrow, and 1t is certain that more than one will be here by Sunday night.
 It really looks as if the Barons are go- ing to have team that will make the others jump .o win the pennant. Of the men already signed there is material for crack-a-Jack team, and with the two or three others who are on the string. Birmingham should have a team that will land somewhere in the first division and in probability 1t will be about second or third.

North Sea Decision to be h. nouncsd Saturday
MIDDLE GROUND IS SOUGHT
Decision Is Said to Be Not a Pro- nounced Victory for Either Side. Both Can Preserve Self
 Respect.

Paris, February 23.-The International Commission appointed to inquire into the North sea incident practically con- cluded its work tonight by finally agree ing to the report which will be publicly announced at the closing session to be held at o'clock rext Saturday. Con corning the general nature of the report the following statement was made In the most authoritative quarter to the Asso- eiated Press:
 When the text of the decision be- comes known, it will be far more accept able to the British press and public than they have been led to believe. The semi official summaries appearing, while more or less accurate, tend too strongly to show Russian success, bu. as a matter of fact the arbtrators have sought a middle ground, and the decision is not q pronounced victory for either side. It is of such character as to preserve Rus sian self-respect and at the same time give the British pubic much ground for satisfaction If anything the decision is rather more favorable to Great Britain than to Russia"
 On the other hand the Havas agency tonight confirms It's semi-officiaI state ment of last night. It says:
 "The conclusions as a whole are quite favorable to Russia, recognizing that Admiral Rojestvensky could legitimately consider himself in danger, and act as he did. However, the report contains reser- vations calculated to satisfy British sus- capabilities, the most important being that the commission claims the Russian fire lasted too long, and also that Ro- jestvensky should have speedily notified the British maritime authorities of the de- plorable incident.
 Upon the question of the presence of the torpedo boats, the commission frees all navies from the imputation.
 More Favorable to England.
 "The commission rejected a motion O. Admiral Beaumont Great Britain) blam- ing the Russian crews
 The conclusions are said to be in the form of questions whereto the commis- sioners state their answers unanimously or as a majority"
 The American officials are strongly in clined to accept the vie wolf the first statement-that the decision is more fa- vorable to Great Britain than to Russia.
 The four foreign admirals gave ban quet tonight in honor of the presiding officer, Admiral Fournier (France). The latter will return the compliment on Sat urday. President Loubet will give a luncheon in honor of the commission at the Elysee palace Sunday
