SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN
u II Could Be Capitalized lts Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

1t is claimed that the average pro-
duction Of 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 120
eggs per hen per annum, we find on
the above basis of production there
are 150,O00,0OO laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro-
duction Of 1s,O0O,OOO,0OO 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
nominal value Of $50 on each hen. For
the 100000 900 hens this would amount
to the enormous total of $4,000 100000
That the American hen can return
yield Of five per cent. per annum on
capitalization of $4,000, 100000 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 1907
were less than four times this amount.
or $16,OS2, 146,6S9, while the total paid
out in interest and dividends repre-
sented but 4.05 per cent. of this
amount.

Sweet Influence.

Is It not entertaining how to make
the best Of ones powers, how to ar.
range ones stores, how to exert a
sweet, quiet and fragrant influence
throughout life, over all whom one
meets? If an advanced education does
this for one, then it is the education
one should seek. Our difficulty is that
we cannot allow time enough for seed
time and harvest Mothers are in de-
spair If daughters occasionally drop
out of school for six months or a year.
We are much too apt to insist on put.
ting all our children, irrespective of
their natural bent, through the same
educational factory. We do not make
sufficient allowance for temperament
and tendency. and thus 1t comes to
pass that some Of us carry burdens,
beneath the weight of which we are
crushed.

People Who Argue.

There are some people who are
never convinced. They will argue
subject out for hours at a stretch,
and be no nearer a solution than they
were at the start.
1t is hopeless to try to convince
such a person on any subject. The
truth is, it gives them pleasure to
argue, and the more you disagree with
them the better they are pleased. If
you find yourself dropping into the
habit, try to drop out again as soon as
possible.

Origin of the "MarseilIaise."

In the reign of terror under Freron and Barras-when hundreds of vic tims were carved by the guillotine, and the people rose against the aristocracy. was born the hymn of France, com posed by Rouget de rIsle. He was an officer of engineers and at a banquet was asked to comsose a war song. He wrote in his room that night before going to bed and the next morning his hostess, the wife of the mayor of Strasburg tried it on a piano, and in the afternoon the orchestra of the theater played it in the square of Strasburg, where it created much eX- citement and gathered many volun- teers. Rouget called it a song for the army of the Rhine but subsequently, it was sung by a regiment of volun- teers, mostly assassins who marched out of Marseilles to Paris, where it was appropriated by the capital and called the Hymn des Marseillais. But Joseph Rouset, the author, died in poverty.-Deshler Welch. in Harper's Magazine.
