An Enterprising Salesman.

On the tenth anniversary of his
wedding, a merchant in Washington
was approached by book agent who
offered for inspection a varied assort-
ment of books, particularly dwelling
on the beauty and value of new edi-
ton of the Bible. He said
Il have been told that this is your
wedding anniversary, and you could
make no better present to your wife
than family Bible. and this splendid
edition which sells for SIS at retail
I am now able to offer to you for $40
spot cash."
He made the sale, giving a beauti-
full imitation morocco case, which he
claimed was genuine Then he has
tened to the home of the merchant,
and, using the same argument, induced
the wife to buy another edition OF
the family Bible as an appropriate we'd
ding present for her husband.
When they exchanged presents that
evening, there was quite a commotioD
in the home, and the husband was be-
side himself with rage. forgetting that
both of those Bibles contained the IN
junction: Let not the sun go uown
upon thy wrath" Being unable to go
downtown, he telephoned to a friend
to go to the station. and bring that
agent to the house without fail. The
friend fastened to the depot, caught
the book agent. delivered the message
and insisted upon the agent delaying
his departure. The willy fellow, full OF
business, replied:
II offered him copy of this Bible
for $40 and he put it off for the time,
l am very sure that he has repented
and wants copy as wedding present
for his wife. He has undoubtedly told
her of the bargain. and she wants it.
I cannot remain over, however, for one
sale, but you can take it to him. and
he will be delighted, and will forever
thank you for having overtaken me-
The price is only $40. and you had bet
ter take it to him, as his wife Is prob
ably crazy to get it,"
The friend paid the $40 and took the
Bible home to, his anxious friend: and.

had serious chronic dyspepsia and
constipation. A lady, for many years
State President of the w. C. T. u,
told me she had been greatly benefited
by quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee; she was troubled for
years with asthma. She said 1t was
no cross to quit coffee when she
found she could have as delicious an
article as Postum.
Another lady who had been trou-
bled with chronic dyspepsia for years,
found immediate relief on ceasing cof-
fee and beginning Postum twice a
day. She was wholly cured. Still
another friend told me that Postum
Food Coffee was a Godsend to her. her
heart trouble having been relieved
after leaving off coffee and taking on
Postum.

According to A. Mallock. before
heavier-than-air flying machines can
become popular. some method of au-
tomatically balancing them-that is.
keeping them on an even keel-must
be devised. In the few practical ma.
chimes now built the balancing has to
be done by the operator. and. while
the ability to do this could probably
be gained by most persons. II they
had opportunity for practice when
young. the great diniculty with such

HEN LAYS TEN
 EGGS IN FIVE DAYS

PORTLAND, Maine June 3.-The famous Missouri hen has at last been beaten in her egg laying achievements. Despite her splendid record as a wealth producer for the state, she has never claimed to be able to lay more than one egg a day, while her sister in Maine lays two. Science has undertaken to exploded the popular theory that it is impossible for a hen to lay more than one egg a day by producing hens that have accomplished the feat of laying two eggs a day for five days in sue eession.
 Prof. Gowell of the Maine Experi- ment Station has been carrying on series of experiments for the purpose of extending the annual laying period of hens, and in the course of these ex- periments has come upon some inter. esting discoveries. His report has just been made public and is arousing much interest among scientists as well as poultry raisers throughout the United States.
 Starting with the fact that there is no known biological reason why the maximum rate of laying should be one egg per day or why the number of eggs per year should be limited to few broods, he assumed that the limit in either case would depend upon the abil- ity of the individual to assimilatc and transform the material taken as food into the mat1risls from which the eggs are formed Be therefore kept a daily record of the individual hens by means of trap nests, which admitted them, but closed and Io,ked automatically as soon as they wee Ius:de and prevented their getting out until taSen out, and also prevented any ether hen getting into the nest while they were there. All the hens were tagged with number, to prevent any mistake in Identification. By this means he discovered that the average healthy hen will lay from 215 to 225 eggs per year. In this way also he proved that the hens will sometimes lay more than one egg n day.
 Early in February, 1906, bullet (Whitc Wyandottc) that had recently begun laying apparently laid two eggs a day. Prof. Gowell was amazed, and although it seemed clear case, he took every means of proving the fact before he recorded this surprising discovery. By means of additional marks which distinguished the extraordinary bullet from all the other hens in the yard. He proved that during the following March and April she actually laid two eggs a day at frequent intervals, finally es. tablishing the record which she has since equaled, but which no other hen has ever broken, of laying ten eggs in five consecutive days. A careful record of her work during the remainder of the year was kept, but she never laid more than one egg day afterwards in 1906. In April, 1907, the same hen duplicated her record of the previous year, and in March of the present year several other hens in the same yard laid wto eggs a day for a few days. In all of these cases the hens were perfectly normal, and the deduction, therefore, is that the number of eggs hen can lay depends entirely upon the health of the hen and the kind of food she takes.

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
Ono Of the Most Powerful Attractions
In q Woman.

Very few women realize what an
effect a sweet voice has on a man
A woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch-
ingly attired and attractive in every
way, and yet directly she opens her
mouth and speaks the spell is broken,
the charm is gone. And this need
never be.
Very few voices are SO naturally
bad that they will not succumb to
training, and the voice can be trained
to be just as sweet and gentle as one
pleases to make 1t.
A woman should speak in a low
voice. She should not allow her
voice to raise itself to a high pitch.
A shrill-voiced woman is terrible.
She should not shout her orders to
the servants down the stairs, nor call
to any one who may be in another
part of the house. This shouting and
raising Of the voice spoils the tone
and quality Of the voice and tends to
make it harsh. A pretty voice Is a
powerful attraction in a woman and
h who would add to her charms a
wondrous fascination should cultivate
a voice ever soft, gentle and low"
