SHOWING VALUE OF rHE HAN
u u Could BE Capitalized Its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

II Is claimed that the average pro
duction of q hen is 200 eggs per an.
mum, but it Is safe to assume that the
actual is much below this figure. the
Wall Street Journal says. Adopting
the very conservative figure of 100
eggs per hen per annum. we find on
the above basis Of production there
are l50,000,0OO laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro
duction Of $4,000, 900, 900 eggs.
At the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
two dollars Allowing 40 cents for
maintenance and ten cents for de-
probation, which latter would wipe
out the market value of the hen in
four years, irrespective of salvage
when the period of production is over
the net profit per hen per annum
amounts to $3.50.
This profit, according to Wall street
standards, capitalized on FIVE per
cent. income basis, would place a
nominal value of $50 on each hen. For
the 150.000,O0O hens this would amount
to the enormous total of $4,5O0,OO0,O00
That the American hen can return
a yield of five per cent. per annum on
a capitalization of $4,50O,OOO,0O0 APP.
pears nothing short of remarkable
but such is the case. The entire out.
standing capital obligations of the rail
roads of the United States in 1897
were less than four times this amount
or $16,0S2, 146.6S3, while the total paid
out in interest and dividends repre-
sented but 405 per cent. Of this
amount.

Thirst for Novelties.

The curse of modern life-the thirst

old SKINS the blight on our litera-
tire, our art, our drama, our manners

out aim, or conviction. or feeling-a
mere restless Itch to get free from old
habits and to get into something un-
common, it hardly matters what, II
only it can announce itself as "uncon-

interested in coffee plantations in that
country, (which is unknown in other
parts of the world. When a child is
born in the coffee country sack Of

Usually the sack is the gift from
some close friend or relative. and it is
guarded as sacredly as if 1t were a

induce a Brazilian parent to use cof-
fee which was made the birth gift of
a child
"As a rule, it is sealed with the pri
vate seal of the owner and bears a
card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, its age on being
sacked. and the birth of the child to
whom 1t is given, and other details,
which are very interesting when the
gift is due.
Generally. the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marries.
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast Is made from the legacy,
and according TO precedent, this must
be the first time the sack is opened
After the coffee is made for the wed.

Moral influence OF Woman.

Is it true, as the Rev. DR.. Butler
said to the graduating class of Mil
waukee Downer College that the
American community today looks
more to its intelligent women than
to its men for its standard of morals
and of living?" The probability is
that it is not quite true-that DIR.
Butler exaggerated for the sake Of
emphasis. 1t is well that the sense
of moral responsibility should be de-
veloped in every individual to the
highest degree and kept alert against
the temptations that constantly be-
set
The present age, 1t Is safe to say,
looks to woman not less than to man
for its moral standards, and looks
with the confident expectation that
they will be high. Boys as well as
girls receive their first moral instruc-
tions at their mothers knee. A wife
often influences a husband in the
moral crisis of his life. But men also
possess great influence In setting
moral standards.
Undoubtedly the moral influence
of woman, IS we'll as her social In
fluence in general, Is enhanced by
her education. Undoubtedly the
woman qualified to be the intellectual
companion of educated men Is moro
powerful influence for good than her
mentally less developed sister. With
consequently increasing facilities for
the education of vomen as well as
of men, the world ought to be better
from a moral standpoint than ever
before Wisconsin.

HOPE HEIRLOOMS PASSING
AWAY.

More Of the Hope heirlooms are
passing away. The famous Hope
necklace which our Lady Hope, who
is better known as May Yohe, wore
has gone. Now Lord Francis Hope,
heir presumptive of the Duke of New
castle, has applied to the Chancery
Court for permission to sell pictures
which were settled as: heirlooms. Of
the Hope estates. 1t was explained
to the court that the income of Lord
Francis Hope is less than $4,000 a
year, and that Lord Hope and his
wife were compelled to live in a
furnished house in London, while
more money was needed for the. ed
ucation of the boy, who some day
may be the Duke Of Newcastle. Per
mission was desired to sell twenty
paintings, including Reynolds, and
for which more than 100000 has
been offered. In: 1898 certain heir
looms, including chiefly Dutch pic
lures, were sold for more than $780,
900, and in 1901 the famous Hope
diamond went for 100000. The
granting of permission was opposed
by Lady Beatrice Lister-Kaye, the
next tenant for life Of the Hope es-
tates, and by the Duke of Newcastle.
The Duke contended the money
would be wasted New York Press.

NERVES AND wymE.s. H


A common symptom of nervousness
especially among women, is the fear
Of being alone. This is a morbidity
which has distinct physiological eff
fects. With it's onset the heart be-
gins to beat more quickly, the blood
rushes to the head, perspiration
breaks upon the body, and the mind
is flung into turmoil and tumult. The
sufferers intelligence is often quite
clear and recognizes the absurdity Of
the dread, yet she cannot shake it
of. She resolves again and again
to triumph over 1t, but again and
again her resolution is vanQuished.
How, then, is she to be delivered
from this enslaving obsession? No
doubt, much may be done by atten-
ton to bodily health, diet, sleep, ex-
ercise, occupation, etc. Yet it must
be admitted that in many cases these
forces are powerless to relieve. What
such sufferer needs is the crea-
ton of an emotion stronger than the
emotion which is causing the mis-
chief. This uplifting and saving emo
ton may spring up in different ways
in different individuals. To some it
will be made possible through sense
of duty; to others, through the love
of husband or child or sister or
friend; to others, again, through the
thought Of the Divine Presence.
which is not mere abstract notion
of Deity, but a feeling realization of
living Power who holds and sus-
tains, who is closer to US than
breathing, nearer than hands or feet
