own Your Own Mind.

Have you ever considered the posi-
bility, of doing this? Remember that
living in rented mind, furnished
with opinions bought on the Install
ment plan, never offers any induce
ment with it for the future. Not only
this, but you are not saving up any
thing.
The advantages of owning your own
mind will be apparent at moment s
thought.
In the first place, you come to take
a personal interest, which you do not
feel when it is owned by some one
else. Then again the natural increase
in value rebounds to your own profit.
You have no one to dictate to you as
to the inside furnishings and decora-
lions. Besides, it makes you more
particular with regard to what you
put into it. If you live In a rented
mind you don't care much. You will
drive nails in the walls and get gener-
ally careless about it. But when you
own your own mind you are constant
ly going about picking it up. You
take real pride In it.
Be 1t ever so humble, there is no
place like a mind that you own your
self-Life.

Of their time at the bottom In deep

used to catch them. The turtler first
discovers their location by means OF

Keeping Turtles Alive After Cap
ture.
Turtles generally have special spots
in shallow water close to shore to
which they return every night, and
each animal has its own wallow or
burrow, where 1t remains when not
eating or travelling 1t is in these
places that they are generally sought.
In pegging the aim is to drive the
peg in the chimes of the carapace of
the turtle, as this offers the best hold
ing part and does the least damage to
the animal. When a turtle is seen the
pegger stands erect on the forward
thwart with his miniature harpoon
poised for prompt throw at the right
moment.
AS soon as the animal is hit it dives
and drags the boat forward at rapid
rate. It is very soon compelled to
come to the surface to breathe and is
then easily secured by means of a
rope, if too large to be taken into the
boat.

GOLDEN WYANDOTTES.
Product of Sailor with Natural Gift
for Breeding Fowls.

The commercial importance of the
hen and her product has formed the
theme of many comment since Secre-
tary Coburn of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture gave cackling feminin-
ity her due few years ago in book
entitled The Helpful Hen" but the
hen as an object Of the breeders fan
cy is less considered by the. great,
thoughtless, chicken-eating public.
Breeding chickens is less expensive
than breeding trotting horses, for the
animals cost less on the hoof, the gen.
erations are shorter-about one-thlrd
as long-and variations are more cas-
lily secured, the st. Louis Republic
saws. There are no pedigreed chick
ems. The identification Of a sucking
colt as the offspring of a registered
mare is simple and easy, but into the
case of the chicken there are obvious
difficulties Not the least OF these is
the division of maternal labor, IN the
accomplishment OF which 1t comes
about that scarcely any hen OF birth

For example, the Golden Wyandotte

Joseph .McKeen, a Wyandotte breeder
of Omro, Wis, conceived the idea OF q

McKeen. was an old sailor with a nat

Cooking YOur Goose.

The phrase, III cook your goose for

king of Sweden. coming to a certain
town, besieged it, but, having few sol
diers, was obliged to desist. The in

the walls goose on a pole. Later
Eric returned with re-enforcements

The upper shell of the hawksbill Is
covered with thirteen plates, called
collectively in the trade the head.
The plates vary in thickness from an
eighth to a quarter of an inch, accord
and weigh collectively from four to
six pounds. These plates form the
tortoise shell of commerce and bring
about SO a pound.
In securing the plates the animal
must be handled while still alive. The
shell is first cut loose from the tur-
tie with knife. 1t Is then put into
a boiler of boiling water, and in
about five minutes the plates can be
ripped off with a knife. II allowed
to remain little longer in the water
the plates would drop off Of their own
accord, but they would be injured by
too long submersion in the hot water.
The Cubans use a knife heated al

tached from the bony framework by
laying the animal while alive on a
hot fire or sometimes by soaking it

nately these inhuman methods are
rarely practised now.

months, apparently unconscious that
it had suffered any loss.

qualities of size and shape which
marked her for experiment. She was
crossed with the Seebright bantam.
This gave the rose comb and the laced
feathers. A further cross with the
partridge cochin fixed the color and
increased the size, while an admix-
ture of Plymouth Rock helped in the
establishment of the general type and
heightened the laying qualities. The
fowls thus produced were golden Wy

Key West, Fla, was for many years
sea turtles, but recently the business
has been rapidly dwindling owing to
the improvident methods employed
the young and the old and even the
eggs being gathered in without
thought of the future.
Three species of turtle, the green,
the loggerhead and the hawksbill, are
caught and handled by the Key West
fishermen and dealers, according to
an article In the Montreal Star. The
green turtle is the most highly priced
for food. This turtle is found on the
Atlantic seaboard from Long Island to
Brazil, and at one time was especially
common on the keys along the Florida
coast.
The female turtle lays from 300 to
600 eggs in a season, burying them
in the sand and leaving them to hatch
without further attention. Owing to
their many enemies 1t Is probable that
but few of the young turtles survive.
The loggerhead turtle occurs along
the Atlantic coast from Virginia to
Brazil and is common on both the
east and the west coast Of Florida. It
Is more common than the green tur-
tie, which Is undoubtedly owing to the
fact that 1t is the least valuable of
the marine turtles and there Is little
demand for it's flesh. More eggs Of
this species are taken for food, how
ever, than Of any other.
Grows to Enormous Size.
It attains an enormous size, far sur
passing the green turtle. Examples
weighing 1000 pounds have been cap
tured, but the average now is prob
ably about 200 pounds.
The female of this species breeds
during the summer, the first eggs be-
ing laid generally during the night of
full moon in June. A peculiar fea-
ture of the laying process is that moth
ing apparently disturbs the creature
or is sufficient to drive her away
Striking her with a stick or jumping
up and down on her back produces
no effect. After finishing however.
she is very timid and fees for the
water at the slightest noise.
The hawksbill Or tortoise shell tur-
tie Is found on the southern coast of
Florida. and thence to the West In
dies, the Bermudas and South Amer
lea. The flesh is rarely eaten, al
though the eggs are gathered for food
and for the manufacture of OIL The
great value Of this species Is in it's
horny covering, which is the tortoise
shell of commerce.
The hawksbill does not grow very
large, the maximum weight not ex-
ceeding 400 pounds Those with
greater weight than 100 pounds are
not now common on the Florida coast
The she'll of the smaller turtle is
thin and of little use; it increases in
thickness and value with the size of
the animal.
In turtling gill nets and cast nets
are generally used. The former are
about 100 yards in length with

If Swinburne used a rhyming die

poet, as has been recently alleged, it
is 8 pity that many OF the embryo
poets of the present day could not be
supplied with the same brand of rhym.
ing dictionary. For. whatever the rea
son may be, there Is at the present
day dearth of genuine poetry. There
Is much rhyming, much bright dog
gerel, and occasionally ambitious at.
tempts at blank verse, but the results
of the latter are usually dreary. Few
modern poets, but Walt Whitman, ap

Leopold H., who died recently at the
age OF IA years, was the second king
Of the Belgians. Belgium became in
dependent in 1881, when it separated
itself from the Netherlands and elect
ed the prince Of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha,
Leopold's father, as its first king.
Since that time the kingdom has
grown and prospered. With one-quar-
ter the area of the state of New York,
1t contains about the same population
There is an average of one person for
every inhabitable acre in the whole
country. The growing density of popu-
lation early attracted the attention OF
Leopold, and he began to look abroad
for an opportunity for colonial expan-
sion. After Stanley had failed to in
terest Gladstone, and through him
England, in the development of the
Congo basin. Leopold sent for the great
explorer and gave him $3.50, 900 toward
the expenses of his expedition of COM
gion. The Congo Free State was
formed as a result of the report which
Stanley made, and Leopold became its
protector and practical owner. In 1908
he turned over to Belgium his rights
in the state, and 1t is hereafter to be
governed by the Belgian parliament.
Great abuses marked Leopold's admin
istration of the Congo State, and his
reign will be notorious for them; but
the fact remains that he was the only
European monarch willing to assume
responsibility for the attempt to civil
ize that part Of Africa. At home the
king was a constitutional ruler in the
most democratic kingdom in Europe.
He was active, in cooperation with
Belgian capitalists, in developing the
foreign and domestic trade Of the coun-
try, and was long regarded as a type
Of the modern man of affairs In public
life. In his private life the dead king
seemed to be devoid of moral sense,
and outraged all the decencies. He is
succeeded by his nephew, Albert. who
is loved by the Belgians because he
possesses those moral qualities which
his uncle lacked.
