A BOWL OF BITTER TEA
Himaiayan Hospitality In a Snow
Enveloped HoveI.


In spite of a poverty which limits
their good intentions the inhabitants
of central and south central Asia dis.
play charming hospitality. Such, at
least is the impression gained from
Mr.. Ellsworth Huntingtons book, "The
Pulse of Asia"
At Matayan, village in the prov.
ince of Ladakh, the habitable portion
of the upper Indus valley, q friendly
villager invited Mr.. Huntington to dive
down from the crust which covered
eight or ten feet of snow int IL one
story house. This was at an elevation
of 10,5OO feet.
Although it was April Il, the snow.
even on q level. was higher than the
tops of the houses. Where it had been
shoveled off the fiat roofs it formed
high banks, protecting them from the
wind and making them the favorite
sitting room at that season and even
In winter, for the sunshine is always
warm in that dry, cloudless climate.
When the little black cows had been
driven and pulled out of the way Mr..
Huntington descended to an almost
closed shed used for the two or three
hardy sheep and goats and was usher
ed, STOPPING, into a dark stable con-
tanning little pony. shaggy, like all
the animals. Bending low once more,
he climbed over a high sill and was in
the warm, close family living room.
Light and air came in through a hole
In the roof a foot square surmounted
by chimney pot foot high made OF
three stones set up TO keep out the
snow. A few bits Of ragged cloth on
the mud floor for sleeping purposes, a
half dozen metal utensils and an iron
pot full of Himalayan tea, kept warm
over some embers, comprised all the
visible equipment for housekeeping.
After the host had persuaded Mr..
Huntington to take a seat on the floor
a half palsied old woman insisted upon
ladling out for him q bowl of tea. 1t
was surprisingly good in view of the
fact that a poor grade of tea leaves
had been STEPPED half an hour or more
with milk, butter, salt and soda. In
richer houses Mr.. Huntington was
often served with tea which had been
improved by being churned violently
in slender. greasy black churn, twen-
ty inches long by four in diameter, in
order to mix the rancid butter we'll
into the compound before it was turn
ed into the drinking bowls.

If you are gathering eggs for early

To fix an egg that it can't hatch
just take it in the hand with point to

Now that the shows are over the

buy real cheap incubator and run it

and keep the cat upstairs for n fire
alarm
The panic hasn't affected the egg and
poultry prices, though we have had to
keep our gun out, watching those bank
ers that busted up" Are NEST eggs"
safe when they're around? The people
who had all their eggs in one basket
haven't drawn them out for tomato can
storage. Many are leaving leaky bank
vaults to invest with the Cock-a- doodle
company. There's still roosting room.
The Missouri hen knocked out the
great Missouri mule. and now the Mis-
souri, state show has just gone and
done us all. Listen: Five thousand dol
lars worths of free advertising for all
exhibitors; five and ten dollar premi-
ums; special prizes, such as incubators,
silver cups, twenty-five dollar cocker
els, fifty dollar pens, gold and silver

badges. Did you ever hear of n show
paying enough for express before?
Missouri, you Will do If you do do us.
Who Is the big cock of the perch?
It's the fellow who won his cups and
ribbons on the square. He will not
advertise faxed frsts for trade and sell
eggs from runts and crooked backs.
He's no prize liar.
He's true.
Give him his due.
His cocks are true.
HIS hens are too.
He's fair.

The next week an elated girl entered
the professors studio. She was not
alone. The professor himself threw
the roll of music on the piano, with a
little whoop of enthusiasm.
"Never have you sung so well, and
do you not feel glad that the horse that
baked was led back to try again?'

the blueness of his eyes sparkled into
hers.

He led her to the chair by the fire
place and stood looking down at her.
81 have been here so long, petite, in

Petite, may go to your country home
tomorrow and ask the honor of your
hand from madam. your mother?"
The girl laughed softly. THAT is
not the American style. If you want
to settle in America for life, don't you
think it would be well for you to con
form to our customs?"
"And will you tell me the best way?"
he pleaded.
Suppose you should go-not by your

"Yes, yes, and then, petite?"
"You might say, L love your daugh-

on the fire.
He knelt beside her and turned her
face gently toward him.

Women the Greater preamers.

A Vienna doctor has published the
following figures:
Thirteen men out of q hundred as
against thirty-three women dream dur
ing their sleep. The number of men
who dream frequently is q per cent;
that of women is 45 per cent. AS a
general rule, it may be said that the
weaker sex has twice as much tend
ency to dreaming as the opposite sex.
The cerebral phenomenon under con-
sideration is absolutely unknown to
per cent, and ID per cent dream only
very rarely.
1t seems idle to add that the same
doctor noted, what Is perfectly well
known, that almost all our dreams are
suggested more or less directly by the
incidents of the material life of every
