We heard a farmer say the other
day. that he had a great notion to
quit raising chickens, as he could
buy his poultry meat and eggs for
less than they were now costing. 1t

farmer would stand by such a stale

against knocking" poultry raising

The man who stops to think knows

amount of poultry and eggs he uses

Besides, It is not pleasant to be con-

Then again, to this payment OF

going after the poultry products.

ance. What IL such large quantities
had TO be purchased in the open
market? AS it is, they cost SO little
that the farmer always is. and can
well afford to be. very liberal In the
use he and his good wife makes Of
them. The trouble is that very few
farmers appreciate what their fowls
,eaiIy mean to them. They also
fail to keep accounts. It is only the
city man who appreciates the inval-
liable pleasure of strictly fresh eggs
and milk and tender chicken meat.

INFANCY OF DIAMOND CUTTING.
Art Is Now Believed to Date from the
Fourteenth Century.

1t is said that before the fourteenth
century no one knew how 20 cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness, but not
greatly admired for beauty. There
is tradition that gentleman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis van Berghem, dis
covered the art of cutting diamond
with diamond But it is probable that
he only made some notable advance in
the art since associations OF diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
ishing Of a huge diamond belonging
to Charles the Bold. Charles was so
delighted with the result that he
rewarded the artist literally, and de-
clared that the diamond would now
serve him for a bedroom lamp. The
jewel, which was found on Charles
body after the battle of Nancy, Is still
in existence. and celebrated under the
name of the Sancy diamond.-Youth's
Companion.

Inc little brown king held out q

Rewards of Authorship.

An addition to the list of phraseolog'
ical condolences was made by a
speaker at the religious congress in
the oxford schools. For a competent
student of any great subject there
was, said Prof Rhys David, no better
way of clarifying and increasing
knowledge than writing book about
it. Something like the same senti.
ment was expressed q little more
cynically by the late Bishop Creighton
at Dictionary of National Biography
dinner. Whenever" he declared, Il
have found myself especially ignorant
of any subject I have always tried to
get a commission for an article on it.
and in this way l have picked up a
good deal of useful information"

an employer declared that the woman
who thinks she knows how to keep
house is the most disagreeable woman
to work for. Generally she thinks
her way the only way and makes life
miserable for her maids. The ideal
mistress is one, the maid thinks, who
has not much faith in her own ability
to do work, but is satisfied with order

ants. The maid thinks that when mis-
tresses stop playing at domestic
