IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused MerrIment by TAX.
Ing the Order Of the Court Too
r. Literally.

A droll incident Is reported as hav-
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy, about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers. collar and hat
were unQuestionably those Of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, Comparable dams les at.

Parents and Children. Faults.


Parents ought to collaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the
best in their children, and conse-
Quently to eliminate the worst. In
stead Of this view Of the matter we
l(says Ella Wheeler Wilcox find par
ents taking a stand against the
teacher who tries to talk Of the faults
OF their children and discuss rem
edy, and all the work which the teach
er has hoped to do in character build
ing falls to the ground under the
lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who see faults
is an enemy, not friend. It is sell
dom, indeed, that man or woman
occupying the position Of teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criticising child.

Early PuIIets.

Early pullets are the ones that lay
earliest in the fall. Much, however,
depends upon the breed. The Leg.
horn and its relatives may be Matched
later than our American varieties,
such as the Plymouth Rock, and those
later than the Brahma and Cochin. Az
soon as the chicks are able to run
about they have scratching pen with
lots Of litter in which to hunt for
feed. They are made to scratch for
living from the very beginning
Those that are vigorous. healthy and
we'll developed start laying during DC.
tober or November.

Crippled by Tuberculosis.

According to a recent report by DR..
Conrad Biesalski Of Berlin, there are
$4,000 cripples in the German empire
out of a population of 60,500,000. Over
$4,000 of the cripples are in need Of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent Of the Grip
pies examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and
joints, and that there were 10000
such children in great need of med
zeal treatment. He advocates the
establishment of seaside sanatoria for
this latter class of cripples.

Don't dose your chickens.
Don't get too large a setting for the
hen.
Keep your hen houses dry and Sc
cure from the damp winds.
Be sure your hen actually wants to
mother a flock before you set her.
The almost universal practice now
is to disinfect eggs before incubating.
Place orders for eggs for Matching
early and you'll save time and money.
Too many are in the habit OF SET
ting hens in the shed with the other
chickens.
Nearly every farm house has out
buildings in which the setting hens
can be put.
Some folks believe in leaving the
hen entirely to herself after she has
begun to set.
Water in which the chicken drop
pings have been stepped makes a fine
liquid manure for the garden.
Rhode Island Reds are a compare
lively new breed. but they have many
friends among poultrymen and farm
ers.
Set your hen in a nest apart from
any place freQuented by the other
chickens and your hatch will be more
successful.
Discouragements are great handi-
caps to raising little chicks: many
give up in despair when a promising
hatch Is lost.
When the old hen gets a notion that
she wants to set, it is about as fixed q
purpose as man. or rather woman.
deals with. And, once comfortably
set. she does not want to be bothered

sponse. At o'clock the fort began
firing. All that night and next day

IL o'clock the fort was afire; a few
hours later the Stars and Bars and
the Palmetto flag fioated above the
