New York, are two different PROPOSE
tons.
According to roman who was
one of the first to employ japanese
butler she would have ran no reason
to change back to an English butler
could she have added few inches to
the Jap'S height.
In many ways, said the lady.

they are quick to learn-three ad-
mirable points in Il butler.
But it is not easy to get one
with an imposing presence. my
self am very short, therefore when
in a tit of despair almost ! engaged u
Japanese butler | was thinking only
of his splendid appearance and not at
all of his inches. 1t never occurred
to me that he was not five feet tall
till my husband took his seat at
the table that night and asked
where he was keeping his eyes at the
level where the head of the preced-

tall. used to be- OF course | had to

The next day my niece came to
call. She is a strapping creature,

She came in giggling and this is
what she told me.
" When the door opened | stood
looking into space seeing no one.

1t is out of the question that the
Japanese should ever take the place
of the English or Irish in fashionable

will be reasonably popular even, I'M

The Hen And the Incubator.

The United State Department OF
Agriculture, in a recent bulletin,
contribute to the discussion of the
ever-interesting and still unsettled
question of the relative merits OF
hens and incubators as a means OF
Matching chickens. AS result of its
Investigations the department con-
cludes that those who raise "only a
small mum Der OF chickens will, as a
rule, do better to use hens for hatch
ing purposes. while the cOmmerc cial
poultrymen,@ who must be able to
have stock ready for market at diff
ferent times. is practically compelled
to use incubators."
The great trouble with the hen.
says the United States Department,
OF Agriculture, is that she some.
times breaks eggs in the nest and
quits her job-two things that the
incubator is not guilty Of" The
department offers no suggestions as
to the best way of educating the hen
SO that she will not break the eggs,
or OF making her more conscientious,
SO that she will not "quit her job. -
Nor does it decide the mooted ques-
tiOn whether hen sets" or sits
although in using the expression "a
good setting hem it seems to incline
to the intransitive verb.
A few figures show the relative ef-
ticiency of hens and icubators. They
are bases on experiments made at
the Oregon station. The incubators
hatched 81 and the hens 70 per cent
of the eggs; the incubatOrs shOwd II
per cent of chicks dead in the shell
and the hens 3 per cent; the NOR.
tality in the hen-hatched chicks
brooded under hens was only 2 pei
cent, and of the incubator chicks
49 per cent; chickens hatched under
hens were much heavier than those
hatched in the incubatOrs.
Results thus apparently point to
the superiority of the hen, provided
she dOesent get nervous and break
the eggs, or lazy and quit the job.

HARRIET Lane Johnston was a
typical society woman of culture in
the past. When Miss Lane lived in
London with her uncle, the ambas-
sador, an English nobloman, was
most attentive to her one night at a
dinner. Miss Lanes hands were
very beautiful. The nobleman, gent
ly touching one of them as it lay on
the cloth, quoted Gray: Hands

Cleaning Marble.

When marble basins and other
marble-lined articles are neglected
until yellow stains have been allowed
to appear on them, muriatic acid has
to be resorted to in order to remove
the stains. Shut the water off from
the basin and dry the marble we'll;
tie rag to the end of a small stick,
dip it into the acid and with it touch
the stain and Immediately the stain
will disappear. Put water into the
basin at once upon the disappear
ance of the stain, and then scrub the
basin with soap and water. When
applying the acid be careful not to
get it on the metal about the basin,
as it will destroy the plating. Do
not get it on the hands, nor drop it
on your shoes, nor get it on your
clothing, as it will injure them.

THE TACHYPOD.

The tachypod is new instrument
of locomotion invented by Petrini. a
tutor in the University of UpSala.
Sweden. 1t is a sort of rollrr-skate.
with two large wheels resembling
those of a bicycle. The wheels are
attached to the lower ends of two
arms which are movable about the
JOINT and connects their upper
ends. so that the arms can open and
shut like the blades ofa pairo shears.
Above the joint is plate or shoe on
which the foot of the operator rests
and which is fastened to the ankle by
a brace. When the weight of the
body is allowed to press on the shoe
the wheels and the arms separate and
unwind a wire cable which is wound
on reel carried by the axle of the
rear wheel and fastened by one end
to the axle of the front wheel. When
the pressure is removed. by shifting
the weight of the body to the other
foot. the wheels are brought to-
gether and the cable is wound up by
spring. The reel is so mounted on
the axle that it runs loose when the
cable is wound up. but engages with
pawl and turns the axle when the
cable is unwound; that is, when the
wheels are forced asunder by the
weight of the body. Hence the rear
wheel acts as a driving wheel, the
source of energy being the weight of
the body; and as the weight is shift
ed alternately to the right and left
foot. in the ordinary motion of walk
ing, one or the other driver is con-
tinually in operation and the wearer
is impelled forward with consider
able and nearly uniform velocity.
The inventor has attained a speed
about equal to that of a good BIZ
cyclist.

Why they Adjourned.

A slight earthquake visited many
cities of the Gulf States some years
ago. The shaking of the earth was
distinctly felt all over one State, but
especially in the State Capitol. The
Legislature was in session at the
time, and nearly every member
thereof ran out of the building when
the structure began to evince IA dis
position to- turn itself over. OF
course there was an end to legisla-
tive proceedings for that day. When
the body had reconvened it was
found that some member of grimly
humorous turn had made an entry on
the journal of the Legislature in
these words: "On motion of the
house, the Legislature adjourned.

The Suffrafette Movement.
Baltimore American

Whatever differing opinion of the
merits of the case may be, it cannot
be denied that u remarkable move
ment is going on just now, and the
suffrage agitation is interesting con-
servative people, both men and wo-
men, who formerly treated the whole
question with Indifference, if not
with contempt. The aggressive cam
paign in England, in which women
of rank and fashion are taking part,
is partly responsible for this, but at
the present stage it is hard to tell
exactly how much of the sudden up
rising in such force is due to the sin
cere demand for equal suffrage and
how much to the tremendous adver-
tising it is receiving.

Schafer Awake

According to advices from Schafer
an attempt was made at night to re-
move the county records from Schafer to
Alexander, which was recently desig-
mated by the commissioners of Mckenzie
county as the county seat. The register
of deeds learned Of the plot to secure
the records and changed the combina-
tion of the vault in which. the records
were kept. An official who favored
Alexander as the county seat is said to
have removed the bolt work from the
interior of the door. The register of
deeds stayed up all night, however,
and balked further proceedings. Three
teams had been sent over from Alexander
to take the records to Alexander.
1t is supposed that the advocates of

CONTEST CASE
Postmaster w. c. Mckenzie of
New England Loses Out In
Contest Case Over Land
- He Will Appeal.

Title to quarter section of land a,
New England was lost by w. c.
Mckenzie. the postmaster, this weel
when the commissioner at Washington
gave decision unfavorable to Mr..
Mckenzie in a contest.
The fact that the land is located
practically in the town limits of New
England and the prominence of the de-
fender of the claim, have made this
contest one of much public interest and
the general sympathy has been with
Mr.. Mckenzie. who supposed he was
living up to the requirements of the
laws
He filed on the land in April 1907.
Two months later he was acting as post
master. The land is we'll located but is
not particularly valuable for agricultural
purposes. 1t has been fenced and ex-
tensively improved, but Mr.. Mckenzie
did not live on it, thinking that being
a government employee after filing on
the claim, he was not Obliged to main
tain a residence thereon. This is the
law, and ordinarily Mr.. Mckenzie
would have had no difficulty in, securing
the title.
However, last spring contest was
instituted in the name of one Patterson
on the grounds of abandonment. At
the hearing Mr.. Mckenzie claimed the
land for the reasons named above. The
Dickinson land Office decided in his
favor. The particulars of the case were
sent to the land commissioner at Wash
ingt0n, who reversed the decision of
the local land Office.
The commissioner looked up the records
in the p0stoffice department and found
that while Mr.. Mckenzie did not re-
ceiye his papers. making him post
master at New England until June, 1907,
two months after he fled on the land,
he was appointed to the government
Office nine months before, or seven
months before he made homestead
entry. This did not give him the right
to the land as a government employee.
without living on it. The commits
sioner also decided that Mr.. Mckenzie
never really established a residence on
the land. Mr.. Mckenzie will appeal
to the secretary of the interior from the
decision of the commissioner and may
win the claim yet.
The case is unfortunate as the post
Office and home maintained are only
few rods from the claim and the
postmaster could just as well have lived
on the land as not, had he known it
was necessary. 1t is also reported that
MIR. Mckenzie at one time lent Patter-
son some money to institute q contest
on some other land and in return for
the assistance lost his own claim.
That's gratitudel
