To Tell Exact Age of Eggs

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 1S.-A bill
introduced in the legislature today
provides that every egg producing
fowl shall upon proper application
made to the secretary of the board of
agriculture be provided with an auto
matte dating machine, and it shall
be the duty of every such fowl to
date consecutively each egg laid. in
order that the public may be properly
informed as to the age Of the egg and
edible qualities of such hens pro-
duct
The measure is credited To Assem-
blyman Thomas of Racine, but he
says it was drawn by some joking
colleague.
Assemblyman Thomas recently in
troduced a bill making it punish
able misdemeanor to sell eggs of
too greatly advanced age. Secretary
of Agriculture J. NJ. True was called
before the assembly today and he
said he had not sufficient f..z,,s-.::.!g

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-A battle roy
al took place in the house this morn
ing over the senate bill which il
creases the salaries OF supreme and
superior court judges. After the re-
consideration Of nearly every motion
made. involving the house in an In
describable parliamentary tangle, the
bill was finally amended by striking
out all provisions as to superior
judges, which leaves the salaries as
at present. Both houses have ap-
proved the increase Of salaries Of SUI
preme court judges TO $4,000, but
under the constitution no increase
can be made during present terms Of
Office.
Senator Paulhamus' bill providing
that no corporation shall hold stock
in another corporation was defeated
in the senate this morning by a vote
of to 81.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-An ostrich

ed some excitement which nearly end
ed in a general ''rough-house" in a
downtown subway train today. AS
2 result Miss Beatrice D'Orsay, IA
East Ninth street, is nursing a
wounded pride, and D. T. Miller, a
Columbia law student, is nursing a
wounded face.
Subway patrons were packed in the
train, and Miss D'Orsay stood direct
ly in front of Miller with her back
toward him. She had on a huge pic
ture hat. from which large ostrich
plumes protruded in all directions.
Every time the car swayed the
plumes tickled Miller's nose and
with every tickle he plunged for his
handkerchief pocket to head off the
sneeze.
Il didn't mind it at first" said
Miller, but I determined to teach
her lesson, so l bit one plume off. "

he had secreted and sharpened on

day long enough to be carried to the

was almost dead from loss of blood
last night when Fletcher, his cell
mate who was hanged with him, in
formed the prison authorities. Ply
sicians kept him alive by transfusing
blood from the healthy prisoner into
his veins. He was so weak that
four men had to carry him to the
gallows and it was thought he would

around his neck and the trap sprung.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20
From figures just published dealing
with the lumber trade of the West
Coast it appears that California is
the largest purchaser of the output
of the Washington and Oregon for
ests and that this trade is rapidly in
creasing.
From the two states mentioned
California last year received 1879
459,333 feet of lumber and if the
cost is estimated at $50 per thousand
this state used over 100000, 1000
worth of lumber in that time. The
figures show that for the past thir-
teen years California has used over
5000, 100000 feet of Washington
and Oregon timber which is evidence
of the rapid growth and development
of the state.

first man that he espied was rough
looking fellow whose identity could not
be mistaken. 1t was Bill.
Hello, Bill" called Monty gayly.
Bill ground his teeth for a second, but
his eyes had such an appeal in them
that Monty relented.
You know this fellow, Mr.. Brew
ster?" demanded the captain quickly.
Bill looked utterly helpless.
Know Bill?' questioned Monty in
surprise. "Of course do, captain"
HE was picked up late last night
and detained because he would give no
account Of his actions"
"Was it as bad as that. Bill?" asked
Brewster, with smile. Bill mumbled
something and assumed look of def
ance Monty's attitude puzzled him
sorely. He hardly breathed for an in
slant and gulped perceptibly.

A Pioneer Orchard Maker.

! Johnny Appleseed," who was John
Chapman of Ohio while the middle
states were still the far west, sought
out the best way in which he could
help his fellows. Believing that the
meager dietary of the pioneer mill
tated against health and efficiency, he
fixed upon a plan which, put into exc
cution, would bring joy and help to
the settlers. He spent many years
in traversing all the region about the
Ohio valley, in sowing wild and fertile
land with the seeds of fruit, especially
of apples. The trees grew apace and
their fruit formed the one sole luxury
upon the table of the pioneer. Many
an orchard to-day growing upon the
rich land CT the prairies is the re
suit of the largess Of that royal
hearted humanitarian, Fits native
state is about to erect a monument in
his memory.

The Power of Habit.

The power of habit was strikingly
Illustrated not long ago in Philadel-

who had done nothing but sew up the
seams of sleeves for four years was
taken off that particular job and was
asked to run up seams in the body
of the waists. She complained that
the change made her so nervous that
she could not work.
But what is the difference?" asked
the foreman. There is nothing but a
straight seam here, just the same as
: you have been used to-"
Il know" replied the woman, with
true feminine logic, but it isn't
sleeves"
And it did indeed prove to be fact
that owing to her four years of steady
work on sleeves it took her fully that
many weeks to overcome her nervous
ness sufficiently to run the machine at
her accustomed speed when sewing

CHINA TO KEEP OLD CUSTOM.
Officials Refuse to Countsnance the
Spread Of Western Idsas.

A Shanghai corresr ondent OF a Ger.
man paper writes: The custom
of arranging matrimonial contracts
through agents or matchmakers has
been practiced in China for ages. The
business receives support from all
classes, for although the high-caste
men in some instances select their
first wives themselves, the additional
wives are all secured through the
agents.
This being So it was only natural
that a recently distributed proclama'
ton, written by an unknown person
urging the women to rebel against the
old established custom, should have
created more than little excitement
The officials ordered the immediate
destruction of the handbills on which
the revolutionary screed was printed
and the arrest of those who took part
in their distribution.
"The empress dowager directs that
further efforts in that direction should
be punished severely, and we know
what that means. She said that from
what she had heard the French mar
riages were for the most part happy
and that these were usually arranged
by the parents"
