A. certain captain in Colombo was
an inveterate gambler. He had had
such bad luck he determined to go
home to his friends in Europe. The
night before he was to sail he stayed
at friends house and the next morn
Ing at breakfast remarked apropos OF
nothing, What high table this is!'
as it?' said his host careleSsly.
"Why, it cannot be less than-yes,
should say it was quite thirty inches.
Bet you what you like it's thirty
inches"
81 thought you had given up bet
ting
''This is my last bet in Ceylon
Shan't have another chance"
"As you like"
A measure was brought and the
height ascertained. 1t was found to
be twenty-nine inches exactly.
1--WE lost" said the captain ruefully,
yet l wonld have sworn it was
thirty inches"
II know you would. Shall 1 tell you
whyf When l was shaving this morn
Ing my bedroom door was open. l saw
your reflection in the glass. You were
measuring the height, and, knowing
what was to follow, took the precau
ton while you were out for stroll OF
having an inch sawed off the legs"

Tall Wives, short Men.

Big men ale usually shy and diffident
and lacking in self assurance. The wo-
man who appeals to them is usually
some sparkling. vivacious, fairylike ere
allure with kittenish ways and roguish
glances. The little man, on the con
trary, is seldom burdened with humil-
ity. He is Il being of great aspirations
and stupendouS ambitions. He be-
lieves in himself, which is the reason
why he generally can get the woman
of his choice to smile upon him. The
dainty, Titania-like woman has nc
charms for him. says Woman's Life.
The five foot six or seven man likes q
woman to be one or two inches his SUI
perior and thoroughly mature. He
breads any trace of the bread and but
ter schoolgirl. His ideal resembles the
strong heroic women Shakespeare has
pictured, full of character and spirit
with fair spice of temper.

not bread and flowers. The luxurious

Hereditary Names.

According to the invariable custom OF
the Duke of Richmond's family, it is
prescribed that the eldest son and the
eldest son of the eldest son shall be
named after King Charles H.. to whom
they owe so much. The same principle
is preserved In Lord Salisbury's family,
where the eldest sons are named James,
after James l.. who bestowed the earl
dom of Salisbury and viscounty OF
Cranborne on the original founder Of
the house.-I.ondon Graphic.

Surely the Monmouthshire man who
caused bis wife's wedding ring to be
Inscribed, "If thee doesn't work, thee
shan't eat," was determined that there
should be no mistake in what he re
quired IN a wife. The only wonder Is
how any woman could be induced to
marry him with such threat before
her eyes. The exact date of this ring
is not ]Inown, but it is previous to the
eighteenth century. - Chambers Jour

and Court COntentment.

and Court COntentment.
How full the world is of grumblers!
Many of the same people who scold In
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. It would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old If we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the In
evitable. The truly happy are the hap
by go lucky, who take everything as 1t
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains. all that is left to do is to
put up our umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, II there is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort of the fly, but his
protest viii never stop the procession

POULTRY RAISING.
One of the Most Stable Lines of Bust
ness In the World.
BY RICHARD H. WOOD, NJ. D.

BY RICHARD H. WOOD, NJ. D.
The incubator is an important factor
in poultry raising. 1t is a success. 1t
has come to stay, and the time is not
far distant when it will be as neceS-
sary upon every farm as is the pillow,
the mower or the separator. 1t is a
machine the operation of which is sim
pie. 1t calls for no hard or heavy
manual labor. A woman. child or
even II crippled or invalid member of
the household may learn to operate
an incubator easily and successfully.
Hundreds of most excellent incuba-
tors are being made and sold, but they
are forced to compete with almost as
many that are inferior and imperfect,
If not positively defective. Now, every
imperfect machine put out is seri-
Gus damage to the incubator business.
The purchaser of an inferior machine,
failing to secure good results, sets
aside his incubator and informs his
ncighbors thai artificial incubation Is
failure. On the other hand, the pur-
chaser of /. good machine-one properly
made and adapted to its works. so
apt to be pleased with his success that
he encourages his friends and neighbors
to undertake raising chickens with in
cubators.
No Danger of OvercrOwding.
1t seems proper to answer the ques-
ton. asked so frequently. is there not
some danger that so many will embark
in this business that it will be overdOne
and the markets be overcrowded with
poultry and eggsT' Answer: No; the
demand is constantly increasing, and
more production will be followed by
increased consumption. AS fast as a
regular supply can be depended upon
to the same extent will consumers
learn to avail themselves of that sup
ply.
Again, not every one who has gone
into the poultry business will remain
in it, Many will find it not to theil
liking while others will not have sufh
cient energy and persistence to learn
its details. The poultry business is
one Of the most stable lines of business
in the world today Its products are
always in demand in every town ant
city of the world. No prejudice of re
ligion or caste stands in it's way. Sales
are not limited as to locality or season
