Trained Slave Copyists Turned Them
Out Quick and Cheap.
There were in Augustan Rome es-
tablished publishing houses which not
only turned out large numbers Of
books. but many editions OF them unC

author failed To please the metropolis
the publishers shipped the eutire edi
ton of his works To the provinces. ana
If he still failed rs n writer they made
arrangements To bring them back aglin
and sell them ms paper to the pastry
and spice shops.
One great firm in Rome had over
1000 trained slave copyists. aud their
work was swift and cheap. for Mar

great many modern methods In the
conduct of his business. and the fact
that Caesars Commentaries" were
very quickly dispatched TO the out

THE POULTRY BREEDERS PRICES

The man who makes hen lay two
eggs during a certain time in Which
she laid but one before is as much a
benefactor of the human race as the
oft mentioned gentleman who grows
two blades Of grass where but one
grew before. That seems reasonable,
doesn't it? The same may be said of
the poultryman who grows two
pounds OF chicken meat on a fowl
where only one grew before. Both of
them should receive proper credit and
they deserve substantial reward for
their services to the human race in
their day and generation.
Less than twelve years ago the av-
erage farm hen laid forty-two eggs a
year while the average chicken car
cass weighed but little more than
half as much as it does now and a
good part of that was bone and offal.
Credit for bringing about the change
from that ordeFof things to the pres
eat state Of affairs with its untold
benefits must be placed with the
poultry breeders, the chicken cranks"
who applied their brains and means
to produce something better. Some
of them deserve monuments as much
as DO many Of our statesmen aud mil
itary heroes.
The complaint is heard now and
then that breeders are asking too
much for their eggs and stock, but is
this charge justifable?. No one will
denv that there is justice in the old
unwrltten law that be who has gunp-

thing better than his fellows deserves
a LIBERAL premium and the poultry
breeder comes under THAI head. This

Good stock produced through years
of careful Breeding, culling and Sc

breeder but to the buyer above all.
On9 could cite instances without
number where poultry raisers haye

i fusion Of new blood,
The trouble is simply that we look

DEATH BY FALLING.
Pain and Fear Seem to Have No Place
In tho Ordeal.


In tho Ordeal.
1t is difficult to imagine more hor.
ribe accident than falling with an
airship, yet in the opinion of Ger
man psychologist, Fritz Kahn. death
resulting from such fall is not ex-
ceptionally painful, says the New
York Evening Post He argues that
1t is likely TO be met In state of in
difference or even I'M agreeable half
conscious condition of mind He wit
messed the fall of Heim-a fall which
lasted number OF seconds, as the
airship fluttered to and fro like Il
piece of paper before the final descent.
The distance was about eighty yards.
On recovering consciousness after sew
eral days Helm remembered only the
ascent. Everything between that and
his awakening in the hospital was
blank.
Mountain climbers have had similar
experiences. A French geologist who
fell over preclpice attests that he
swooned and never knew what hap
pened. Whymper on the other hand,
remained fully conscious when he fell
on the Matterhorn. Bounding from
rock to rock, he calculated the inter
walls between the shocks. wondered
how long he could stand 1t. felt no
pain and came to the conclusion that
death through n fall must be one of
the least disagreeable ways of ending
ones life. A boy Of eight who fell
twenty-five yards declared that his
only thought was that he might lose
his new pocketlSnife.
At n meeting OF the Swiss Alpine
club the geologist Helm described his
feelings during fall. His first
thought was that now he would be
unable to deliver the address he had
promised; then he thought Of the eff
feet on his family of the news of his
death. He wanted to take Off his spec
tacles to save his eyes from being
damaged by broken glass. Various
scenes from his past life fitted across
his consciousness in rapid succession.
There was no fear, no pain, but rather
an agreeable state of mind. like that

though some trees live to be thous-
ands of years old, every tree accumu-
lates infirmities with years. If the
soil is dry beneath it, it starves to
death. Insects eat it's foliage. Plant

under the bark. Wind breaks of it's

the wound. Decay then follows the
