JAMES. TURN THE HOUSE

William Relman, New York City. has

over the matter OF genuine home com

the shady side being In the shade all

An architect has studied the problem
and has completed plans for such a
home, which will be built at a cost Of

farm certain amount of cooperation is
necessary. Where men work together. the
army organization applies to some degree !;
that is. some direct, others are directed.
The difficulty has been to divide the results
fairly between the captains of Industry and
the privates In the ranks As the dividing
Is done largely by the captains, 1t is not
unnatural that they should magnify their
part and appropriate too large a share !;
neither is it unnatural that there should be
complaint on the part of the toilers who
think that their recompense Is insufficient.
The labor question, therefore. as 1t pre-
sents itself at this time, is chiefly ques-
tion Of distribution, and the legislation
asked for is legislation which will secure
to each that to which his services entitle
him. As legislation is secured through the
ballot every one should use the ballot to
obtain the legislation necessary. The Dem
ocratic platform presents the ideal toward
which the Democratic party Is striving,
namely, Justice in the distribution Of re
wards. The Democratic party proclaims
that each individual should receive from So
ciety reward for his toll commensurate
with his contribution to the welfare of So
ciety, and unless some other party can do
the work better. the Democratic party ought
to have the support of ALL whether they be-
long to the wageearning class or occupy
positions in which they direct the efforts Of

Aside from the professional poultry
men, the amateurs and the farmers,
there is still another class interested In
poultry work. They are the thousands,
OF perhaps hundreds Of thousands, who
have no desire to go into poultry as a
money making matter; who have not
the room for extensive breeding pens,
and who are profitably engaged In 9th
er work, and who have not time to de
vote to any considerable number OF
fowls They are the people who have
homes in the small cities, towns and vii.
lagos, with ground rightly regarded as
going to waste, or at least not earning
anything. These people would like to
go into the chicken business more for
a diversion or hobby than anything
else, and supply their own table with
eggs and an occasional fowl There Ii
surely no good reason why they should
not. Let man who -hns the ground
take up the matter Just as he would
we're he going into the business as a,
means Of livelihood. That is, he should
use the same precautions in the selec-
tloniof his stock, and the same judg-
ment in Its care. With a little attention
given to small flock of chickens, many
families would find the. income from
other sources would so much farther.
& The numerous poultry associations
throughout the country are of great SER
vice to their members. At their meet
sings they discuss intelligently the diff
ferent matters of interest, and protect
each other from those who would i'm
pose upon or act unfairly with them.
OF great use and interest are the an
nual poultry shows In various localities.
Not only are these exhibitions OF prod
iucts Of interest to the professional and
amateur. but to the general public.

One of the curious things that men
Of science have discovered in their In
Vulnerable efforts to measure and map
the earth with the least possible error
Is the fact that there are places where
the direction of a plumb line is not
vertical. Irregularities of density In
the crust Of the globe may produce this
phenomenon.
A remarkable instance has been found
In the island Of Porto Rico where the
deviation from the vertical is so great

One of the most novel and fasci-

The fountain consists of a double

force soapy water through a pipe
connected with 81 different outlets,
each one OF which emits thousands
and thousands of bubbles, which in
ever changing hues fall like q,
kaleidoscope cascade round the base.
In the daytime it is a marvellous
sight, but at night, when innumer-
able electric lights beneath the bub-
bles are turned on, it is the most
dazzling scene possible, and, borrow
ing IN expression from the arabian
Nights" one might most aptly speak
of it as the fountain Of a thousand
jewels" so sparkling, so radiant is
the effect.@Gentlewoman.

Milena Sgambelli, a Dalmatian

rushed into the midst of them.
Milena ran to the beach, on which
she found an iron rod. Selling this,
she rushed boldly into the water
again, striking at the sharks with
the rod in order to save her COM
panions.
She ov~erbalanccd herself and fell
at full length in the water, when one
of the sharks seized her leg in its
mouth and bit it off above the knee.
Her companions dragged Milena

height.
1t is estimated that the green crop

return to growers will be $1,250,00O.
The pie and sauce possibilities are
appalling. Because of rapidity Of
ripening possibly ten per cent. of the
crop will not be gathered. The fruit
