Leghorn Chicken Of Fine Pedigree and
Remarkable Nature Casts Out
"Unhatchabie."

Johnstown, n. Y.-Giles Freeman, a
farm hand employed by Eddie Hale,
owns brown leghorn hen of fine pedi-
gree and remarkable nature.
Before he bought the fowl from
Hale, Freeman noticed whenever the
hen was put on new setting she
would kick several eggs from the
nest
Marking these eggs and placing
them under other setting hens, Free
man found not one would hatch. The
remaining eggs invariably brought
forth chickens.
Tired of buying setting eggs for a
hen to scatter over the floor, Hale
sold the fowl to Freeman. He chris
tened her Minerva.
Freeman now uses her only to sort
worthless eggs from the settings of
farmers who come for miles to have
the bird pass judgment on their as
sorted eggs.

Jewels Rise in Price From 20 to rs
Fer Cent. in Nine Months
VIII Go Higher.

London.-Buy your jewelry for the
coronation now, for in short time 1t
will cost you more.
Every kind Of precious stone, with
the exception of the ruby and opal,
has risen in price from 20 to Is per
cent. during the last nine months.
THE reason for the rise is we'll
known jeweler said recently, that
the Americans have recovered from
their recent slump and are buying
every fine jewel they can lay their
hands on.
AT the present moment we are
having from 25 to 80 per cent. more
for diamonds. Consequently, a stone
costing 8100 a year ago cannot be
bought now for less than 9125 or
,G130,
"Sapphires have risen 20 to 80 per
cent. and the other stones, with the
exception of rubies and opals, are
correspondingly higher. The artifi-
cial stones keep the prices down.
Opals went out of fashion after Queen
Victoria died
Finding that the precious stones
are so much higher In price, people
are buying the semiprecious stones,
such as the amethyst, topaz, peridot,
tourmaline and green garnet. AS a
result, these stones, which few
wears ago could be had for is to 5s,
are now worth G2 to G2 los.

day with those Of ten years ago, the
percentages of rises are very much

Chicagoans Are to Be Taught
How to Play.
Professor Chubb Of University OF New
York Says Children Are Losing
True Spirit Of Youth and Get
ting Into Adult Ways.

Chicago.-Prof. Perclval Chubb OF
New York university and head of the
department OF English and pageants
in the Ethical Culture school OF New
York, lectured here the other night
under the auspices OF the Chicago
Ethical society. He sought to give Inn
petus to the Playground association of
Chicago and to other agencies which
are attempting to teach children and
grown people how to play, for he de-
clares that 1t is a lost art.
THE old-time play spirit has been
almost entirely forgotten" he said.
Children do not know how to amuse
themselves. They no longer play
games at parties; they don't indulge
In puppet shows and Ministries.
The Sunday comic papers are
among the chief offenders against
children. In the schools, for example,
we work to develop a certain stand
children. Constantly, in school and
out Of school, the Sunday supplement
works against any educative efforts.
In place Of better qualities, In the
trough of the comic sheets children
learn smartness, vulgar1ty, money
tricks and irreverence.
Besides establishing bad habits of
taste the Sunday supplements make
for "A 'scatter-brain' state of mind
among children. The habit of sus-
tanned attention is lost. | for one
would prohibit these papers to chill
dren until they are sixteen years old.
THE whole environment of the child
is that of the adult. On the streets,
for example, the advertisements greet
him. Some of them suggest that,
child as he Is, one brand Of whisky
would be good for him. Another sign
suggests that If he has a headache by
drinking certain preparations the ache
will be cnred.
Advertisements take the place of
the old criers. We have forbidden the
noise of one as nuisance, but the
appeal Of the more recent method is
just as loud, just as ugly as the older
street cries. The whole glazing, blink
ing system tends to lower the stand
ards of things. Children become
precocious-adults before their time.
The same state Of affairs Is true
when you come to the amusements of
children. They are all adult amuse-
ments. The theaters, the songs, the
gutter ditttes and the ragtime, even
the moving pictures which have I'M
proved in tone, present things unfit
for children. don't mean necessarily
immoral things, but ideas which are
not intended for children.

and pageants in which schools and

House children's plays are given
weekly. Already dancing is becom-
ing fad in New York. and in Chi
cago, also, suppose. Dances to some
extent fall short because in them
selves alone they do not carry any
great idea. This Is what the pageant
accomplishes. The pageant recalls
old-folk arts, old songs. dances, and
gives them place in an artistic and
aesthetic culture.

The recent appointment by Presi-
dent Taft Of Representative Walter
lngleWood Smith of Iowa to be a.
judge Of the eighth circuit of the fed
eral court to succeed Judge Van De.
vanter, promoted to the supreme court
bench, has created considerable stir
in political circles.
One of the principal reasons for
political interest in the appointment
of Judge Smith is connected with the
fact that a candidate presented by

was Representative George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska, insurgent leader, who
directed the revolution last March
which resulted in the ousting of Speak
er Cannon from the rules committee.
