one does emerge from It's treacherOus

the cars and before the fares were ac-

afterward he represented the plaintiff

BROOKLYN street railway company was

for the company was the conductor OF

which were used to help to repel

Annr.elat. tha Worth Of Sleep.

The amount of sleep required by a
person can be determined better by
the effects obtained than by the num-
Der of hours consumed. for 1t differs
greatly with age and the condition OF
health. Few efallacies are more dan
gerous than that which is often adopt
ed by busy people. more especially by
those engaged in scientific or other
forms of intellectual work. when they
assume that the duration Of sleep Is
largely a matter of convenience. The
harmfulness of deficient sleep may not
reveal itself until the age of decline
has been reached, but 1t will surely
hasten the decline.

Indiana With Blue Eyes.

One Of the mysteries Of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains In
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students Of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There Is n tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants or
the crew and passengers Of Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world, but this tradition Is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds of moons
ago.

Crossing the Wild Turkey.

The most notable American bIrt
in the farm category is the turkey
growing as he does to the grea'
weight of 80 and even 40 pounds
and losing nothing in flavor anc
toothsomeness. Likewise the most
regal of our remaining game birds
is his blood brother, the wild tur-
KEY. from which he has descended.
There is perhaps no instance where
domestication has scored so little
in improvement as with the turkey.
In fact, in some respects the tam
ing and breeding have hurt instead
Of helped the species. No prize

beautifully marked or so resplend-

Rhode Island, small as she is,
stands for The best in turkey pro-
duction. The last census shows
less than 100000 turkeys in the
United States and only about 5000
produced annually in Ilho,le Island,
vet. according to T. j. McGrew,
the turkey expert, if all the tur-
KEYS of the country were OF such
good quality as Rhode Islands,
their total value would be doubled.
According to the Department OF
Agriculture, The growing OF tur-
keys has greatly improved during
the last few years as a result OF a
determined effort on the part OF

than the smaller and less vigorous
stock Of times past. The wild tur-
is also being used to instill further
new vigorous blood into the bronze
focks. Inbreeding is the fatal de-
feet among the practice of many
turkey growers.
No other kind Of live stock will
return so large a profit to to the
successful producers as poultry, &C.
cordlng to McGrew, and no KIND OF
poultry is more profitable than
TURKEYS, when properly handled.
The fact that turkeys will from
the time that they are six weeks
old until winter gain the greater
mart of their entire living from
bugs. insects. grasshoppers and
waste graiir assure their existence
during this period at little or no
cost to the grower where there is a
sufficient range for the birds.

Upon entering the Otates ExniD-
it Palace one is confronted with the
Virginia State Exhibit Of Agricul-
ture and Horticulture. The deco
rations are an exquisite dream Of
beauty. All of the different grains
grown in the State are used in
combination with tobacco and cot

golden leaf tobacco. The same
effect is realized in the decoration
Of the ceiling.

sectious Of floor space, with an
area of eleven thousand feet, being
over three times as large as any
other exhibit in the building.
Along the front is to be seen an
outline Of plate glass show cases OF

ated with urns filled with growing
plants. Next is the genealogical
display of about twenty varieties OF
Virginia's choicest apples, backed
by an extensive line of tables COW
cred pyramidal form with hand
some jars Of Virginia's fruits and
vegetables preserved in chemicals.
These a,e surrounded by all inn
mense collection of ladies' preserv-
ed fruits and vegetables tastefully
displayed.
The left section Of the exhibit is
lanked by the trucking display and
the Norfolk County exhibit. The
rest of this section consists or
handsome exhibits from Chester
field and Brunswick counties and
the thirteenth judicial district.
The center or main section is illl'
ed with exhibits Of tobacco, both
10 leaf and manufactured, from
different sections of the State, the
city of DanviIle easily taking the
lead. Peanuts, peanut products,
honey, food products, grain, ladies'
needle work, wines, both domestic
and manufactured. are displayed
most advantageously. To the rear
of this section and covering the en-
tire width, encased in glass and
lighted by electricity, is to be seen
the handsomest natural history ex-
hibit ever shown at an exposition.
The birds ami mammals ate ar
ranged in natural attitudes and
surroundings.
The third section consists OF
handsome exhibits from the cOun-
ties Of Albemarle, Eastern Shore OF
Virgins, Dinwidie and Isle OF
Wight.
The exhibit is in charge of Capt.
G. Julian Pratt. who is assisted by
Edward #. Bonham, either OF
whom will furnish all desired in
