much struggling and an icy bath were

Hens Not a German Industry.

Germany pays comparatively little
attention to poultry raising. For the
greater part of its supply of eggs and
poultry the empire is dependent upon
Italy, France, Belgium and the Bal
kan States. The imports into Ger
many of eggs and poultry have in
creased .marvelously since 1872 in
which year the combined imports of
these two items amounted to only
$500. 600 In 1880 they had increased
to s5,00O.0OO. and in 1907, SS7S45. $50
worth Of imported eggs and S12, 730. 500
worth Of imported poultry were con
sumed, with exports that same year
amounting only to S31S,5OO for eggs
and S211,25 for poultry.
Farming people Of Germany look
upon poultry raising as an unproht-
able industry, and the average Ger
man farmer considers II a waste OF
money to raise or purchase food for
his hens OF to provide his fowls with
quarters And dark cor
ner OF a barn OF stable is usually con
sidered amply good enough, and the
fowls must find themselves all the
food they require. Household scraps
in most cases are fed to the hogs. Il

Somewhat Undesirable Cast Of Fea-

The petroleum face was discovered
by an American visitor to London, who
lays the blame for its existence on the
sitting motor-omnibuses, which cause
us to screw up our faces as though
they were not there"

gathered a definition of the petroleum
face
The petroleum face is first of all alb

smile, and rarely speaks.
The petroleum face is screwed up
ard wrinkled and anxious. The nasal
organ appears to be- trying to avoid
smiling the inevitable petrol; the eyes
are strained, as though the owner is
suffering some fear that "the worst
may happen"
People on the streets with petro-
leum faces fly in all directions to avoid
humiliation by motor-omnibuses or to
escape the perfume the venice exudes.
The petroleum face is a hard face,
IT has no bloom upon it; nor has It
any soft curves. Taxicab men and
motorists are all suffering from it.
They are examples of a new. machine
