The leading consumers of copper are seeking to bring about a trade confer ence this month to discuss the copper market in relation to manufacturing de mands, and if the first meeting is sue cessful to institute a similar under standing between the producers and consumers of copper as has been brought out in the iron and steel trade through the American Iron & Steel in- stitute, organized last spring. The wide huctuation in the price of raw copper, and consequently in its manufactured products, which became acute last year, has made the trade desirous of estab- fishing more stable conditions. It is the belief of the leading New England copper and brass manufacturers that the same stability can be established in the copper and brass trade as ex- ists in steel and iron.

A number of the important copper and brass mills and foundries in New England and the middle states which operated to about 50 per cent of the ca paeity in the beginning of the autumn are now working from 70 to so per cent of capacity. The copper wire drawers have been averaging less than 30 per cent of capacity until lately. Now the principal works are assured of several months work that will occupy from SO to 70 per cent of capacity. The Gen. eral Electric, Western Electric and Westinghouse interests tell us that their consumption of copper is steadily in- creasing.

A LAD OF los,

In recently published reports of the
fair which took place at the Home of
the Daughters of Jacob, mention was
made of the chief usher, a ''lad, - aged
los years, and of "girls' who sold
candy and lemonade, although they
were only 103 and 107 years old. Some
doubt was expressed as to the ages of
these inmates of the home. Albert
Kruger. the superintendent, said that
there was no exaggeration and gave
these figures from his last report:
tThese are the ages of our wards:
From SO to O., three women; 65 to 20,
three men and eleven women; 20 to IS,
eleven men and fourteen women; IS to
50, twelve men and eight women; 50
to 81, fifteen men and twelve women !;
50 to 90, six men and eight women; 80
to %, four men and six women; 95 to
100. two men and five women. One

He shook his head. s,That was a

Brennan grew moodier.

A childs cry hushed the words on
my lips. We started, listened. and
then betook ourselves down the reef
to the edge of the bay. AS we
crossed the crest we saw a
little figure at the waters brink. The
child bent over something that lay, a
dark, irregular blot on the white sand.

himself He took the child gently up,

A native trimmer looked over my

vanished into the darkness toward Ka-

modern Fruit without Seed,

At present the fruits in common use
that have few or no seeds include BAN
anas, pineapples and a certain kind OF
oranges, together with some other trop-
ical fruits that do not reach the mar
kets of the world in great quantities.
Yet cultiyators do not greatly despair
of adding to this list--of eliminating
the small and lard seeds of the straw
berry, the raspberry, the blackberry
and the currant, and of providing for
the market the long want, the seed
less grape. Nor do they frown alto
gethed ON the enthusiastic fruit con-
sumner, who looks forward to q future
coreless apples and pears. of seedless
cherries and plums.
In the meantime cultivators Of fruit
are much more anxious still further to
improve the means of transportation
than to provide more luscious fruit.
Should they succeed it may prove pos
sible, even in our time, with the help
of more scientific methods Of transpor-
tation, to draw to our Northern mar
kets some of those edibles that now
make the sultry tropic almost regret
to the untraveled-even such delicacies
as the avocado pear, the custard apple,
the herimoyer, the sweetcup, the
sweet-sop, the druian, the pawpaw, the
rambutan, the mango and the mango

The possibility of lessening the labor
of caring for poultry by supplying snow
instead Of water has been studied at
the Connecticut Storrs Experiment Sta
ton by G. *. Graham. When pullets
and hens were fed wheat screenings
and beef scrap from hoppers in col
ony houses on low ground frozen dur
ing most of the experimental period
and covered with snow during part OF
the time the old hens did not furnish
as many eggs or appear to be in IS
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens were apparently af-
fected By the snow, the egg production
being smaller on the days when snow
was on the ground and also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that Is, on the cold days when water
was not accessible These conditions
do not seem to have affected the young
err birds, and they show an increase in
eggs Immediately after each snow
storm, gradually dropping back as the
snow disappears.
In the case Of other lots kept under
much the same conditions In houses on
higher and drier ground the cold
weather did not affect the egg produc-
ton materially, "5ut there was no.
ticeable increase in the amount Of
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild ones This, however, may
have been caused by the birds forag-
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to mind
est sign of frosted combs among them,
nor were there any colds"

value of the Trap Nest.

A practical demonstration of the
value of the trap nest in breeding up
the laying average Of lens has been
made by the Maine experiment station,
where the trap nest system has been
In operation for several years. Two
years ago the average production was
120 eggs per hen for the year and last
year 1t was 1874 eggs per hen, which
means that they had gain Of about
IA eggs per hen over earlier records.
j think that Prof. Gowell, of the sta
ton, states that no males are used in
the breeding pens that have not been
produced from hens that produce 200
eggs per hen per year. All the hens in
the breeding pens have been bred from
hens that laid 160 eggs per year, 50
they might be termed strong producers.
No hen is used for breeding purposes
until after her egg record has been
known for u Iaonths.

Pure water ON the Farm.


Absolutely pure water Is not to be
found in nature. The amount and the
nature of the impurities vary widely,
depending upon the source Of supply
and other conditions Nor are all Of
the impurities harmful in a water In
tended for domestic use (and, very few
of them may be-, but owing to the fact
that water may be the agent for
spreading certain diseases, 1t is essen
tial that care be taken to get a supply
that is free from harmful constituents,
says Robert w. Gray, of the Colorado
Experiment Station.
Impurities may either be dissolved in
the water or carried in suspension by
1t; and they may be of animal, vegeta-
BILE, or mineral origin. Hardness In
water is due to the presence Of COM
pounds of lime or magnesIa. Iron may
be present In quantities large enough to
make water unfit for laundry pur-
poses.
The greatest danger to which a do
nestle supply is subject, however, Ia
the possibility of contamination by de-
caying animal matter and wastes Ty-
phoid fever and other diseases result
from such contamination. 1t is, there
fore, important that any source of sup
ply should be guarded. In these cases
where the water comes down es rain
and Is caught upon roofs, to be carried
to a cistern, the first part of the rain
fall should be wasted, as 1t Is full OF
dirt from the roof. Brick filters In
cisterns are not so efficient as they are
generally supposed to be.
When the water Is drawn from a
well and comes up cool, clear and
sparkling, it is very difficult to con-
vince anyone that 1t Is possible for any
thing injurious to be present; but such
Is sometimes the case. No well or
spring should be used which Is located
within several hundred feet of a barn
yard and in lower ground. The barn
yard filth will find its way beneath the
surface of the ground and flow for
some distance before it becomes harm
less. What is said Of wells is also true
of springs. They may appear to come
out Of the solid rock, but there is a
crevice in which they flow and there
may be other crevices which VII per-

The disgruntled grafters preached to
the people OF the illegality of Frances
dictatorship and enlisted tremendous
opposition to him, but the King upheld
him. When, fearing revolution, with its
attendant bloodshed and horror, he Of

that in the end they might abdicate to-

Testing Butter.

There are several ways to tell reno
waited butter, and oleomargarine from
fresh butter. One Is by the simple boil.
ing test. This can be done In any home
with no other apparatus than an oil
lamp and tin teaspoon. Take lump
OF the butter the size of your first
thumb joint and place 1t in the tin
tablespoon. Light common oil lamp,
remove the chimney and hold the spoon
containing the butter over the light SO
that the fame reaches the bottom of
the bowl of the spoon. Hold 1t in this
position until the butter boils. Oleo
and renovated butter boil noisily, sput-
tering like a mixture OF grease and
water, and produce but little, IL any,
foam. Genuine butter boils with little
or no noise and produces usually an
abundance of foam. This is one of the
most simple as well as the safest of
tests
