From the stories told of Rabelais,
he must have been in life the same
strange, wise, and mirthful imp, which
he appears in his writings. He seems
even to have looked death in the face
with a grin of his own. AS his friends
were weeping round his bed, he e&
claimed, "Ah! If | were to die ten
times over, l should never make you
cry half so much as | have made you
laugh" AS he was dying, a page en-.
tered from the Cardinal Du Bellay, to
inquire after his health. The old
humorist muttered in reply: Tell my
lord in what circumstance you found
me; l am just going to leap into the
dark. He is up in a cock loft; bid
him stay where he is. AS for thee,
thouIlt always be fool. Let down
the curtain: the farce is done" I'M
mediately after his death, his rela
tions seized upon a sealed paper, pur
porting to be his last will and testa'
ment, which on being opened, was
found to contain three pithy articles,

the rest to the poo" Whipple: The

parent Commenting on this matter,
the well known architect, Wilson
Eyre, brings out some valuable points
IN a recent number OF Country Life
In America" His contention Is that
the bungalow fad is carrying us TO
architectural extremes that are not
good for domestic architecture in gen.
eral
As a style for general suburban use
the bungalow appears to be misused
and IS generally Objectionable when
so used. AS already mentioned, It has
its place and purpose; first as a week
end or summer retreat It forms an
ideal contrast to our more preten-
tious, over-luxurious dwellings; sec
ond, it is a harmonious building for
an informal location; third, when an
inexpensive structure is desired the
bungalow offers the maximum comfort
and beauty for the minimum cost.
Because the bungalow is so widely
misused and misunderstood. it may
be well to try to answer the question,

There was great rejoicing on the

His body was seven feet long, tail
three feet, height three and one-hali
feet, with head, shoulders, teeth, paws

the following day. Great credit is
due to the three men that stood SC
bravely to their post and also to the
beaters who took their share in the
hunt. This was a great treat that
many enjoyed, it being so near that
ladies could sit on Dr. Taylors up
per piazza and look over the river and
rice fields and see the battle go or
all the afternoon and could hear the
men directing the fight Tigers have
been troubling the people much in this
vicinity the last six months. They

propose to do under the new law is
to prevent the sale of bad eggs. We
propose to protect the consumer.
when a consumer goes to a grocery
and buys a dozen eggs he must get

when a man bought 4 dozen eggs he
got two or three bad ones. This prac,

must get what he pays for. Not only
will we insist on the shipper living up
to the law, but we propose also that

some Of the members said they had
seen in grocery stores signs that
read: I'VE do not guarantee the eggs

This will not help the grocers,"

Mr. Barnard said large placards had
been sent out to dealers notifying them
of the provisions Of the law, and that

Queen Sets Style for English Women

4 ONDON.-Queen Mary has issued
Il another sumptuary law for the
world of fashion A little while ago
she intimated that ladies wearing the
tightly fitting modern skirt would not
be welcome at Buckingham paalce. 1t
is evident that If the queen is unable
to lead the fashion, she intends to
command it when and where 1t is in
her power, for she has now issued fur
ther orders that no low collared dress
es or large hats are to be worn in her
presence.
These orders of the queen are all
in keeping with her well known views
and with those Of King George. They
have made domesticity the fashion"
was said Of them by fashionable Gym
ic the other day. AS a matter of
fact, apart from their pressing pub
lie engagements, the existence Of the
royal couple would be described by
any member Of the smart set Of the
Edwardian era as positively humdrum.
They realize this.
Il know people think that we are
a stuffy couple, but we do not mind
that" the queen is said to have re-
marked few days ago.

word TO say for the bungalow when II

To bis mind the bungalow should be
not only a one-story house, but
very simple, informal one-story house.
II is a style for the woods and the
seaside, for the place where rest and
not luxury are sought II should be

ments, simply furnished, adapted 70

bungalow is a vast improvement over

POULTRY IN IRELAND
Great Wealth in Industry, Says
Official Report.
Chickens Supplied to England Exceed
In Amount That Which Comes
From All other Countries Of
Europe Combined.

Dublin, Ireland.-The opinions OF
experts given at a conference on the
poultry industry, held in Dublin re-
Gently, confirm the Views expressed
on the report OF the department of
agriculture and technical instruction
for ireland. Sir Horace Plunkett, a
former vice-president Of the depart
ment, declared that there was a mine
OF wealth In the poultry industry
awaiting development The present
viee-presldent, r. w, Russell, gave
figures showing the development OF
the industry in the last five years, and
said that the export of butter alone
almost equaled the export of whisky
and porter combined, and that when
eggs were added to butter the two
combined almost doubled the alcoholic
export; this in spite Of the fact that
tho export of whisky and porter is
commonly believed almost to equal
linen. which was Of course easily
hrst.
The poultry supplied by Ireland at
the present time to Great Britain ex-
Ueeds in amount that which is being
supplied by all the other countries Of
Europe. Diagrams and maps exhibited
at the conference showed side by side
the growth of the system Of instruc-
tion and organization and the growth
OF the export Of eggs and poultry. The
correspondence between the two sets
Of charts was remarkable The value
of the export now amounts to S2OOO0,-
600 a year and a prophecy that in
the near future the amount Of money
earned by Ireland from eggs and poul-
try would be nearer 10 100000, 600
than to $2O,OOO,OOO was made by T.
P Gill, secretary Of the department
and formerly the nationalist member
of parliaWent, who was on an Irish
mission in the United States with Mr.
John Dillon and the late Timothy Har-
rington when the Parnell crisis oc-

The quiet city of Nan was stirred
up last Saturday by the news that a
large Bengal tiger was in our midst
He had killed a large bullock in the
morning and was hiding under cover
in an old deserted wat across the river
from DR.. Taylor's compound. The wat
was grown over with dense thorns so
thick that a man had to cut his way

that tiger could be so near US, not
a quarter of mile from DR.. Taylor's
house.

a good gun. He sent for Captain
Springer, who is at the head of the
gendarmerie force, to assist Ray Peo-
pies was here visiting his parents.
Each Of these three had guns. The
plan was to station the men with
guns in trees and have beaters drive
the tiger out. He came out once
and was shot at, and returned.
