instructing pupils of the public schools

stoning or otherwise interfering with the
running of trains. The matter was care.
fully gone into by the superintendsnts
who seemed favorably impressed with
this plan. Only little more than year
ago two children were instantly killed at
Wyoming while walking the tracks to
school.
Mr.. Aydon pointed out that they could
thus reach 1000 children in New Castle
county, 1000 in Kent county aud ll,OOO
in Sussex. He had the cooperation in
his efforts here of Superintendent, TWit'
mver of the Wilmington schools, who is
president of the State Board of Education.
Out of the 81, 600 children that can thus
be reached and quietly instructed in the

POULTRY NOTES

To keep hen in good health she needs
nearly seven times more fresh air in pro-
portion to her size than does the horse.
Fowls throw off much of the waste of
the body through the lungs. As they do
not sweat in the sense that other animals
do, they breathe when heated several
times faster than sweating animals.
Most people think a pond or creek is
necessary for the successful raising of
geese, but this is not absolutely necessarys
though it would seem to be more natural
for them to have q pond or creek to swim
in. They must have plenty of pure wa
ter to drink and will grow and breed just
as well without a Swimming pool as with
one.
It is true that the cost of raising hens
and prondciDg eggs has increased, but the
proportion isvery small when compared
with the increased value of the output.
The cost of production has become about
so per cent larger, while the growth of
receipts per dozen eggs is between 100
and $50 per cent. and the increase in the
in the rate for chickens aud fowls is about
100 per cent.
One poultry raiser told another that she
was very foolish to set pullets' eggs, as
they would not hatch. The latter asked
the writer about it. We answered that
there was no truth in the statement, for
pulets' eggs will hatch as we'll as hens
eggs, all other things being equal. But
it is not advisable 10 restrict the settings
to pullets' eggs exclusively, but use hens
eggs as we'll. The progeny from pullets
is never so large or hardy as from mature
hens; therefore the eggs from the latter
are nreferable for setting PURPOSES,

The Brewer Bill Dead

Following the adjournment of the Leg.
islature, among the bills which failed to
receive the signature of Governor Penne-
will was one concerning the brewers
tax. Under the old law the State tax was
collected on the amount of beer brewed.
This included the beer supplied to the EN-.
ployees as well as the amount donatedirom
time to time. The brewers of Whining.
ton donate considerable beer annually.
The bill passed by the Legislature pro-
vided for the payment of the State tax on
the amount OF beer sold and not the
amount manufactured, but the act failed
because of the absence of the Governors
signature.

The Melody that wiz Haunt You.

At recent convention of the
Associated Music Dealers and
Publishers of the United States,
one of the oldest dealers called
attention to the enormous sales
reached by a popular song in
this country compared to what
are sold in other countries. He
claimed that in Germany, Eng
land ard France, fifty to seven
ty-five thousand copies is con-
sidered a large sale, while in
this country publishers do not
consider a song popular whose
sales do not run from two hun
dred thousand to half a million
copies.
Comment was also made on
the enormous sales reached by
high-class ballads, such as The
Garden of Roses" The Vale of
Dreams, Sing Ne to Sleep
and my Rosary" AS per the
usual custom, the committee on
new songs called attention TO
the fact that the writer's of two
of the songs mentioned had writ
ten another entitled, The Hour
That Gave Me You," and that
the publishers, jerome H. Rem
ick & Co., would be pleased to
have it rendered by the compos-
ers. Messrs. Dempsey and Sch
midi were invited to entertain
the association, which they did
by rendering some of their old
songs and concluding with the
new one, 1.-The Hour That Gave
Me You" The enthusiasm OF
the assemblage was un5ounded,
and the advance orders for the
song received by their publish
ers warranted the publication of
the largest first edition ever
known in the musical world.
The Hour That Gave Ne You
thus marks a new era in the
song line. for the melody is sc
catchy and haunting that it viii
