The Aro OF Man on Earth.

Mans past history upon this planet
has been immeasurably heightened out
by the discoveries OF the geologists,
but it is impossible to fix upon any
hard and fast date for the beginning
of the species. 1t is certain. says so
careful man as John Fiske, that
men were living in Britain contem-
poraneously with the big nosed rhlnoc-
eros, which became extinct about the
beginning of the glacial period. The
glacial period, according to the best
authorities, began at least 100000
years ago. In all probability human
beings have been living on the earth
for that length of time at the least cal
culation. How much longer men have
been here does not appear.-New York

ELECTION NIGHTS.
One of the Five Saturnalia of New
York City.

One Of the Five Saturnalia of New
York City.
New York has five saturnalia every
year-New Years night, Decoration
day. Fourth of July, election night and
Thanksgiving-and not the least of
these is election night. If 1t is a right
first Tuesday of November, the day
time wind will be veering from west
TO south and back, sun and cloud will
equally share the hours between them
and a not unnatural quiet, as of polit-
ical passions hushed under the blanket
of the Australian ballot, Will prevail.
The streets will be rather emptied than
filed and the litter of straw and scrap
paper and the ordure and other filth of
the great slattern town will blow
agreeably about under your feet and
into your eyes and teeth. But with the
falling of the night there will be rise
of the urban spirits: the sidewalks will
thicken with citizens of all ages and
sexes and nations. and if you will then
seek some large center for the cinemat-
ographic dissemination of the election
news you will find yourself one of a
multitude gloating on the scenes of
comedy and tragedy thrown up on the
canvas to stay your impatience for the
returns. Along the curbstones are sta
toned wagons for the sale of the wind
and string instruments whose raw.
harsh discords of whistling and
twanging will begin with the sight of
the vote from the first precinct. Mean
time policemen, nervously fondling
their clubs in their hands, hang upon
the fringes of the crowd, which is yet
so good natured that 1t seems to have
no impulse but to lift children on it's
shoulders and put pretty girls before
1t and to caress old women and Grip
pies into favorable positions, so that
they may see better. You will wish to
leave 1t before the clubbing begins and
either go home to the slumbers which
the whistling and twanging will duly
attend or join the diners going into or
coming out of the restaurants or the
throngs strolling down into the fairy
realms of Broadway under the flare of
the whiskies and the actresses.-W. n

Scheme to Beat immigration Laws
Discovered In San Francisco.
Despite the rigid examination given
by the immigration inspectors to In
coming Chinese 1t has been known for
some tine that the inspectors were be-
ing deceived by Asiatics who alleged
they were born in San Francisco, and
the other day one of the schemes used
to delude the inspectors was discov-
cred, says a San Francisco correspond.
ent of the Kansas City Star In order
to prove that the Chinese did live in
San Francisco, as asserted by them,
the inspectors have been in the habit
of asking the location of well known
buildings, streets and car lines. To
these questions many of the Chinese
were able to give a satisfactory an.
swer, and the inspectors had nothing
to do except to admit them.
II. NJ. North, United States commits
sioner of immigration, discovered
map in an immigrants possession
showing Chinatown as 1t was before
the fire, and the fraud was then made
clear. 1t carried instructions how to
answer questions regarding the plan
of the city and of important events of
the past. Commissioner North believes
that copies of these maps have been
sent to China and that after having
studied them the Chinese would come
to the United States, assert that they
were born here and demand the right
to land.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs

The Y. NJ. c. A. of Worcester, Mass,
has introduced a poultry course. It's
going round the circle, and the wom-
ems clubs will soon be swinging in.
Then there will be a cackling.
The poultrymen who keep hens and
ducks are in 1t when eggs are high.
The hens lay in daylight and the ducks
at night. If the ducks quacked over
their eggs as hen cackles, the chick
en- house would be full of Nightmares.
Many people in the cities have an
annual arrangement with poultrymen
at distance for eggs the year around
at one price. Families pitch in and
get a crate per week They can smack
their lips in eggs-ultation while others
growl like all creation.
The fellow who is too stingy to pay
a decent price for Matching eggs and
sneaks them at the store where the
poultryman trades eggs is a weasel.
Fortunately few high class breeding
eggs get to the store, and those that do
are fixed. That fixes 'em.
The surest way to get fresh eggs is
to become a private customer of n
thoroughbred poultry raiser who runs
his plant for a living. His hens must
lay the year around, and he must feed
scientifically and keep his hens in sani-
tary quarters or he goes hungry.
What's the cockfight about in the
American Poultry association? Is it
the result Of high leading, high breed
ing or high feeding? Is 1t a case of
swelled head, wind puff or high perch
ambition? There'll be some pretty
feathers pulled soon. Wire to Japan
for the peace envoy.
4 poultryman in Maine has 6iscov
cred the crowless rooster. AS Maine is
prohibition, we should expect every
thing to be done on the quiet Better
ship those speak-easy ROSTERS to Wash
ington, where neighbors are getting
out injunctions against cocks growing
in the early morn. This will make
pence. There's enough high perch, con-
gressional cock-a-doodleism in Wash
ington anyhow.
BY the looks of things next spring
will see many new chicken enterprises
launched. This will prevail every
where Our big incubator firms are
shipping Matching machinery to all
parts of the world. They are now
Matching with incubators In Jerusalem,
and our brooders are caring for chicks
that are descendants from the cock
that crew thrice. Panama. the land of
mongrel stock, will catch the yellow
hen fever and import fine eggs from
the United States. If you join the fast
increasing procession, we wish you
good luck

MATCHING SCHEDULE.
FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs

Eggs are on the wing. and it's not the
Matching season, either.
The nest box under the dropping
board is the greatest invention of man
to stop hens laying. How many mites
do you get from those nests every day ?
Do you keep u mite record?
Do you think you are something in

mind your growing, but don't scratch.
Don't lie about your egg record, don't
lie about your stock, don't lie about the
other fellow.
Canada, the goose country on this
side of the big pond, shipped much
gander into the United States. Russia
has twenty-eight varieties Of goose and
is the goose country Of the world.
Are you filing up your hens with
patent egg force? It's lazy poultry
man who shirks his work and substi-
tutes drugs for diligence. Sell your
hens now, while prices are high, be-
fore the sheriff sells them Off for any
old price
Do you make your wife do the chick
en- work while you sit by the stove and
rest yourself? Better read over your
marriage certificate and be man.
Mr.. Slowjake makes up his pens for
breeding early in April. Mr.. Getthere

ROTTEN EGGS AND THEIR USES.

The city belle who throws a dainty
kiss to her lover from the tips of her
kid glove fingers is literally throwing
him a rotten egg. AS she kisses her
glove or chews the tips in vexation be-
cause her lover does not return the sa-
lutte she is perhaps unaware that the
glove manufacturer dresses his "un-
dressed kids" with q mixture of old
spoiled egg in preparing them for mar
ket. They are new style gloves, but
! they have the fragrance of old style
rotten egg on them.
The wine lover lifts the wineglass,
looks through 1t and sees himself in
/ the mirror opposite. How sparkling!
How beautiful. How clear! The pro-
hibitionist points to the serpent in the
glass, but the elbow crook gulps 1t
down. Wine manufacturers use spoil
ed eggs to clarity wines.
You lick stamp and get some spoil
ed egg for your money. The young
man kisses his girls photograph and
knoweth not that the photographer has
prepared the paper with an added egg.
WHERE ROTTEN EGGS COME
FROM.-They do not come from grand
pas farm. He sells all his eggs at
market. Our country relatives turn an
egg inside out before they sell It, They
are so conscientious that they will not
sell watered stock. The rotten eggs
for manufacturing purposes come from
the big poultry plants. They are also
called egg plants, and some of them
bear nothing but rotten eggs.
One firm set 100000 eggs last season
and hatched $4,000 chicks. 1t was a
problem what to do with the remain
ing 10000 spoiled eggs. Market eggs
were low, and orders for Matching eggs
from back yard fanciers were running
short. They succeeded in selling them
all to the manufacturers of gloves cal
icos, wines, photograph supplies and
shoeblacking.
The cold storage firms had already
stocked up with enough to supply your
table for the season.

THE JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
quired by European Countries.

Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
quired by European Countries.
TO the Jews of today 1t is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
were forced to put up with great
deal of humiliation. One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing of a badge which would
stamp the wearer as an "infidel jew"
The wearing of badge was made a
general order throughout Christendom
In the year 1215, but 1t must have been
required in isolated places before that
date.
The most usual form Of badge was
that of a ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. Any one
of French-Jewish ancestry will know
that his forbears wore a ring of this
sort, varying in size and in color-now
red, now yellow and white, according
to the whims of municipalities and
monarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast, and at one time 1t was or
dered to be worn likewise upon the
back, so that Jew might be known
''fore and aft" When a Jew was
found without the badge, hezwas fined.
Evidence of the wearing of this badge
is found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefathers Of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
ON their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent In Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
It The badge was known as the
20" from its shape, resembling prob
ably the ring in France. English Jews
should feel the distinction of having
had a peculiar sort Of badge forced
upon their ancestors. 1t was first in
the form of a band, first white and
then yellow. and later Jews were re-
quired to wear badge with the shape
of the tables of the law. In Germany
yellow badges were worn, but here the
hat was the chief means of Identified
ton. In Austria and In Poland there
are few traces of the badge. but in
Hungary Jews wore badge on their
left breast. 1t is interesting to know
that in Crete at the present day some
of the houses of Jews are marked with
the "o."-American Hebrew.
