Phosphorsscent Tree.

People walking in wood in the
Wishaw district near Glasgow, after
dark, were startled the other night by
what they took to be ar apparition in
the wood. On making investigation
they found the trunk of an ash tree
in an upright position giving forth a
light resembling phosphorescence, but
more brilliant. Those who have Wis
tied the spot stoutly insist that the
trees light is more of an incandescent
brightness, sufficient for the reading
of print in its vicinity. Large crowds
were attracted to the place to witness
the spectacle, while young people Sc
cured chips of the tree and wore them
on heir clothes in the dark.

On English railways passenger in

push away any one elsa who tries to

in London police court when a man
complained that he was pushed out of

is the duty of the conductor" said the
court, ito see that the trains are not

Accounts for Kissing Of Geese.

A recent writer explains the Pc
culiar attitude and kissing of the
goose something as follows: When
you enter yard where geese are they
will stretch out their necks and hiss
like serpent. They will do the same
when sitting upon their nests. This
authority says that in the far east,
long ago, geese nested in the tall
grass, and in some way unknown dis
covered that no sound would drive
away the intruder as quickly as the
kissing of the snake, the bite of which
is poisonous and meant DEATH There
fore. when the intruder approached
near the nest, the geese would stretch
out their necks, making it resemble
snake and send forth sounds like a
snake, which were successful in dr;v-
ing away the enemy.

Guatemala in Ferment.

A prisoner in his own palace, fear
ing treachery and assassination every
moment, President Cabrera of Qua
temala who, during the last few
months has twice escaped the bombs
of his enemies, is to-day as closely
guarded at the capital as a monarch
of continental Europe. Cabrera even
fears poisoning. 1t is said about Qua
temala City that, no longer trusting
the servants about the palace he now
has his mother prepare his food for
him. Even then he takes the utmost
precautions. There will be a mighty
political upheaval in Guatemala soon
without doubt. And when Cabrera
goes out the future is a matter of
conjecture.

War of determination on Rats.

A Paris journal suggests that in
order to rid the world of rats the vari-
GUS governments should offer a re-
ward of one penny for each rat killed.
Denmark, it appears, has already set
the example. There, since law was
passed giving halfpenny head for
dead rats, the schoolboys of Copen-
hagen devote their playtime to hunt
ing the rodent. The bodies are taken
to the fire brigade station, where the
tails are cut off in order that the re-
ward may not be claimed second
time. The bodies are burned the same
night in furnace at the gas works.

PICKING OUT THE LAYERS.
How You May Be Able to Tell Which
Is the Business Hen.

An experienced, closely observing
poultry raiser knows at glance the
laying hen. The small feminine neck
and head count, the bright, alert eye
tells tale, the dropping tail tells an
other tale and when she picks her
feet up and jumps them down we
have another pointer
How manage the hens? There are
several ways. The trap nest is Prac-
teal thing and would be especially
valuable to the small breeder or to
any poultryman or poultrywoman who
had the time or would take the time
to properly manage the traps. Most
people know the meaning of trap
nests. but for the few that might not
know | will mention that they are a
nest in box that confines the hen
until the owner releases her; hence 1t
is known what hen laid the egg.
And there are other ways to i'm
prove the flock. A close observance
and constancy with them enables us
to know by sight what hens lay every
day and those that lay every other day
or do not lay at all. We must never
lose sight of the fact that the cock
erels are half the flock in breeding
value. Many of the same rules that
apply to the race horse, the cow or the
hen also apply to cockerels. The small
neck and head, the alert eye and activ-
ity are all pointers in the right direc-
ton.
am one of those who believe the
200-egg hen will never be excelled to
any great extent. But l do believe
that any ordinary flock can be Inn
proved to a point where the 200-mark
would fit where the 150-mark now
fits. If the time ever comes that egg
records will be part of score cards,
then the work of improvement will
be on.
