IT is quite against all the rules of
i propriety to make noise in the
United States senate, even with the
little bit of an ivory cube which the
president of the senate once in awhile
touches gently upon the marble desk

some little thing.

sat in senatorial chair, was presiding

he makes the most of it.
But to return to Benares and Bos-
ton, the comparisons are soon exhaust
ed, but the contrasts are endless. Bos-
ton. in spite of it's vagaries and its
many religions, is the product largely
of its Puritan and Pilgrim fathers, who
set their seal so early upon it's his
tory, and whose ideals are still reg
nant in many quarters.
Benares is the product of 20 CEN
turies of Hinduism. Here it has built

Beginner Is Advised to Join Utility
Ranks and Breed Chickens for
Eggs and Meat.
CBy MICHAEL X. BoYER.)

(By MICHAEL X. BOYER)
1t has been asked, will the fancier
eventually be driven to the wall by
the progress made in growing market
poultry? Certainly not We need
fanciers-real fanciers. We want men
to create breeds and to\perfect the old
ones. But the speculator and huck-
ster is fast seeing his finish.
The man with a string of breeds isi
not a fancier. He is a speculator. 1T
would be next to impossible for him
to give each of these breeds his best
attention. To thoroughly know a.
breed, and to get out of 1t all that is
good in it would require an ordinary
life time
Amateur fanciers will often buy
culls from breed well advertised and
then advertise eggs for Matching from
so and SOS strain. The man is a
worse enemy of the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls
A wonderful interest has sprung up
in poultry matters. Large sums of
money are being invested, and poul-
try farms by the score are started.
These new farms are on the lookout
for utility stock. The man who can;
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade. They want carcasses
and egg records-business poultry So.
the best advice to the beginner is to
join the utility ranks and raise poul-
try and eggs for market Then, in
after years, he can, IL he feels so in
clined, gradually creep up into the FAM
cier's fold. 1t is step that cannot be.
hastily taken.

Prejudice Against Sleep.

do some men seem to obtain sufficient
rest with five hours sleep, while 9TH

ly argued in one of his amusing
stories. or do they actually require
more sleep?
The popular prejudice against slee,
works an infnity of mischief. There
are plenty of sluggards even among
the cultivated class, but the sleep
sluggard is in that class a very rare

Wife Beaters.

Society contains no more abjectly
contemplate wretch than the man
who, when overwhelmed by the fruits
of his own incompetence and evil
habits, leaves his wife and children
to face the punishment alone. Yet
there are so many specimens of his
actrocious tribe that the poor CON-
missioner says that dealing with
them is the biggest problem his
Office faces.
About the only cure for this
trouble seems to lie in greater
efforts to capture these offenders,
and the imposition of the harshest
punishment the law permits, It
seems rather pity, in view of these
shameful travesties on manhood,
that the whipping post has gone out
of fashion,.
The only redeeming feature of
wife-desertion is that a man who is
capable of doing this thing cannot
