up to the glory of his fathers fame.
He meets Flambert. ex-sergeant grena-
der, n veteran of sixteen sum-
mers," M his desires are fired anew
by acquaintance of this stanch man
who served his father. Flambert tells
of how his comrades loved the petit
caporal," and begs the young duke To
risk his safety for the sake of France.
L'Aiglon eagerly assents, but when off,
GERS enter to announce the arrival OF
the emperor. he recalls his promise 10
his aunt, and wavers once again. That
afternoon he has a long interview with
his grandfather. who is entirely under
Metternich's influence. He promises
the young duke that he shall have his
wish, but when Metternich enters he is
half afraid of having made such an
emphatic assertion. The duke. dis
couraged. resolves to fly. His escape is
made with the help of the Countess
Camarata, who dresses in his clothes.
LAiglon reaches the hill that over
looks the battlefield of Wagram. Con-
spiratcrs address him as the emperor
and his brain is fired at the sound. AS
he and his followers are about to de-

Invests Role with Wonderful Charm.
With what a wonderful charm has
Mime. Bernhardt invested this touching
role, At first her Aiglon seems too
sombre even for the melancholy,
dreaming youth we know he is. But
as the story unfolds she sketches for
US the boy, q boy in spite of himself,
with a hundred and one deft, sure
touches. His merry mood when he
meets Fanny, the gay little dancer, and
his utter absorption In the toy soldiers
that Flambert has painted to look like
I Napoleon's grenadiers, tell OF the ir-
responsibility of youth that refuses TO
be completely, vanquished by dreams,
and study and ambition. More and
more, as Bernhard acts the story OF
the Eaglet, do we SEQ the boy and feel
the boyish uncertainty that keeps his
wings only fiuttering, instead of iying.
And at the end it is not Bernhardt,
nor her acting, that finds us with
Jumps in our throats, but the tired,
broken-hearted little dreamer himself,
who has tried so hard and failed.

A POPULAR SUPERSTITION.
ORIGIN AND BASIS FOR BELIEF IN
FATEFUL ILL-LUCK OF FRIDAY.

ORIGIN AND BASIS FOR BELIEF IN
FATEFUL ILL-LUCK OF FRIDAY.
The bad luck supposed to attach to
Friday is said to be traceable to the
worship of the goddess Freya, the Venus
of the North, who felt herself sllghted
if any one began journey on this, her
festival. In punishment for the dis
honor thus brought upon her Freya
was wont to direct misfortune to assail
the offender, so that it came to be
thought that Friday was an unlucky
time to embark on any enterprise, al
though most marriages in Scotland are
said to take place on that day. In
Waish's "Curiosities of Popular Gus
toms" is told the story of the brig,
Friday Of Wilmington, whose builder
defied superstition by giving her this
whimsical name and launching her on
Friday. He also sent her upon her first
voyage on the sixth day of the week,
but on the succeeding Friday home
bound vessel sssaw the hnll of brig
pitching heavily in the trough OF the
sea, while her crew ran about the deck,
cutting loose the wreck of the masts
that dragged and bumped alongside. "
This was the last of the "Friday," con-
cerning whose fate the shipbuilder's
wife merely said when she heard it, 81
told thee SO, Isaac. This is all thy
sixth-day doings. Now thee sees the
consequences.
Another reason for the supposed un-
luckiness of Friday lies IN the cruci-
fxion of Jesus on that day. 1t is from
a similar historical source, indeed, that
the ''thirteen" superstition is believed
to have sprung;-a a natural distaste grew
up for the number representing the
circle of the disciples with the addition
of Judasx Yet it seems as if by this
time the World might be willing to for
get its ancient superstitions and regard
every day and every number with
equal respect.-Providence Journal.

A Bad Man.

with guns and knives like an enraged
porcupine. If 1 refused to drink, l was
given to understand, I:would be turned
into human pin-cushton or worse.
Well, as L slipped a friendly glass of
something resembling wood alcohol, a
very bad man indeed rode on a pranc-
ing mustang right into the barroom.
He drew up and had a drink. Then

A SELF-MADE MAN.
HEATTAINS FAME BY PLAYING AJOKE
ON HIS BETTER HALF.
IN. Y. Times.

ON HIS BETTER II ALE.
N. Y. Times.
Once upon a time, which is when
things always happen, there was man
who told his friends about joke he
had played on his wife. 1t got into the
papers and he became famous.
Later he wrote all about is i'll book.
He called the book "My JOKER" and
it had great sale, so that he bought
fur coat. He had no further ideas, so
he made lecture tour and told elbow
I came to think of my joke" He was
considered one of the literati of the
land. Returning, he sold rights to va
rious firms for the use of his ideas as a
name for suspenders, eyeglasses, stick
pins, shoes, belt buckles, toothbrushes
and other things.
Nothing new occurred to him, so he
wrote another book, called "The Pub
fishers Who Rejected My Joke" And
still later he gained repute by issuing
serially, "How l Came Pretty Darn
Near Not Writing My Joke" and it
paid rather well.
He was then as famous as could be
and as rich as was good for him, though
he still failed to create anything new.
He went to London, where he was lib
orally decorated with medals and
champagne corks, coming back to ad-
dress his fellow-townsmen in the opera
house on "How My Joke took in Lon
don."
Then he died. At the funeral the
minister, who knew nothing whatever
about the man or his life, related with
some JUNCTION of how the deceased had
been inspired with the original idea
while at prayer. This was a poetic
touch, and no doubt the minister be-
lieved it. But this was too much fol
his wife. She rose up and said things.
The original idea was not his, anyhow.
It was hers, and the joke was one she
had played on him. After he became
famous she never dared play another
hence his single inspiration.
All of which may go to show thai
the wives of selt-made men could tale
unfold, and then again it may not.

That the construction of the Virgin
ia railway from the coal fields to the
seacoast has done much to stimulate
the mining of coal in. Southwest Va,
and to build it up also in a commercial
way, is told in report issued by tie
United States geological survey today.
This report says: 'In Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia the pro-
duction of coal in 1909 will be nearly
equal to that of 1907. An epoch-mak-
ing incident In the development of the
coal mlninc industry of West Virginia
was the completion, early in 1909, of
the Virginia railway, the first trans
portation line in the U. S. constructed
from the coal fields to the seaboard.
'sThe main purpose of this new line
is to furnish an additional outlet for
the Goals of the Kanawha: the New
River and the Pocahontas regions.
During the months of 1909 when it
was in operation, it carried nearly
5000 tons of coal, and it is expect
ed that within two years it will be
furnishing transportation for fully
5000, 900 tons year. The Virginian
hasju completed an extension, known
as the Winding Gulf Branch from
Mullen to Pemberton, in Raleigh coun-
ty, a distance of 25 miles, which will
permit the development OF extensive
coal lands.

One Acre.

1t is possible to make living on
one acre of land. The thing is being
accomplished in more places than
one. A resident of San Bernardino,
CAL, for many years made a good
living on a single acre of land.
Around the acre was a row of fruit
trees, from which he realized $500 for
a seasons fruit. From a quarter of
an acre in strawberries he made $500.
From the rest of the acre he took
three different crops of vegetables,
and was so successful with them that
he sold $1,000 worth, besides keep
ing pig and many fowls. 1t is said
that in the suburbs of Paris a man,
on less than an acre of land, under
glass and heated by underground
pipes, makes ten crops of asparagus
a year, for which he receives s11, 900.

The Poultry Yard.
From April Farm Journal.

From April Farm Journal.
Perfect cleanliness from now on
will cut short the louise crop of June.
If you stamp a date on your eggs,
sell them before the date gets old.
Keep your meat scraps where they
will not get stale and sour. Fresh
feed is what makes healthy hens.
Feed little. and often, and be care
full about overlooking. This is the
great secret in feeding brooder
chicks.
Danish the fighting stock from your
pens. Give them a place all by them
selves. That is the best kind of
arbitration.
> Cook some beans or peas, mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a
week and see if you don't get lot
more eggs.
Have everything convenient. Steps
saved in the care of poultry will mean
that much less labor. Labor costs
money.
When the brooder chicks seem
very thirsty, wild for water, let them
drink and feed very lightly while so
feverish.
Many setting of eggs has been
spoiled by making the nest on the
floor where the wind can come up
through the cracks under the old
mother hen.
April is a good month to hatch
goose eggs. 1t is also an excellent
time for getting out ducklings. Stock
hatched now will be best for next
years breeding.
Wet, cold feet do not do your hens
any good. Chills them and keeps
them back from doing their level
best, and that is the only thing that
will satisfy you and me.
Don't be in a hurry to remove the
hen and her brood from the nest.
The tender little chicks need warmth
more than they do feed for the first
twenty-four hours.
Does that old hen lay? Try this if
she does not: Feed her all the chop
ped clover she will eat, with an ounce
of lean meat every day. If there is
any lay in her that will bring tt out.
