Mumps and bumps, ills and epochs
await him. The former is only one of
many diseases disputing his path or
logging his unsuspecting footsteps.
Millions of microbes infest the air and
the water, and certain squads Of them
have been detailed to concentrate
their whole attention on him.
But his epochs are experiences
which no vigilance of parents or ply
s1cians or teachers can protect him
against. Every psychologist in our
country and in foreign countries has
said so. And so it Is. They have
prepared these entertainments for him
along the way and their invitation is
mandatory. He has to pass over the
bumps, as Major Powell had to pass
over the rapids of the Colorado river,
In exploring the Grand canyon.
Now let us try to get line on each
OF those epochs and see just what 1t

POULTRY ON AVERAGE FARM
Makes No Great Demands on Strength
and ANY Person of Intelligence
May Make Success.

In this country poultry includes
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, gui-
nea fowls, pigeons and occasionally
pea fowls, pheasants, quail and
swans-chickens, of course, being the
most important Something like a
quarter Of billion chickens and other
poultry are consumed In the United
States every year. The consumption
of eggs is about eighteen dozen per
capita. The last census gave the
value of chickens raised on American
farms in 1899 as $136,S91, S77-of eggs
as $144,286,158. Today the American
people consume about half billion
dollars worth of poultry and eggs
per annum. Exports are increasing
and one may enter on the raising of
poultry and eggs with little fear Of
not realizing good prices on all pro-
duce.
Probably 80 per cent. Of the farms
In the United States raise poultry as
a side line; feeding is more econom-
teal where general farming is pur-
sued. Still there are manifest ad-

tention, knowledge and skill achieve
better results.
Poultry raising makes no great de-
mands on strength, and any person
of intelligence may hope to make a
success of it. But some have made
the mistake of supposing that the
business can be taken up on con-
siderable scale without any expert
ence. Hens lay all the way from
none to $50 eggs year, and it takes
some experience to tell with what
kind of hens and under what condi-
tions, the upper limit can be reached.
Probably the best course for the
intending poultry raiser would be to
work for a year or more on one OF
the large chicken ranches in order to
learn the important points of breeds,
feeding, fattening. housing, brooding,
incubating, etc. The raising of hroil-
ers, roasters and capons for the market
may be paying occupation on an
egg farm, If one secures the right kind
! Of stock and gives the work the
proper attention and management. No
kind of poultry is more profitable
| than turkeys.

brought. The dealers demanded resti-

dreading exposure, had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency in order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter to settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been
ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real

DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS
Practice Has Been Known to Cause
Acute Inflammation Of the
Tongue.

Do the people who Jeer at the eau
tious ones who refuse to lick a post
age stamp as "cranks" know that there
is a defined disease known as the
postage stamp tongue?"
This is an acute inflammation OF the
tongue, directly traced to the germs to
be found or the gummed side OF stamp
or envelope.
Other and more serious diseases
have been caused by this habit that is
so universal and seems SO harmless.
One throat specialist in a hospital
declares that many chronic affections
OF the throat are found among persons
who have as their livelihood the ad-
dressing and stamping of envelopes.
Bad skin diseases have ben known
to follow this habit. and it has even
caused pulmonary troubles.
1t is after all but a habit. and a bad
one. It takes 70 time and Is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with a damp sponge or rag.
Where many letters must be
stamped and sealed there are good pa.
tent inventions by which the sponge
Is kept moist.

was in danger of losing all she had
won, her position in society, her place
in the affections of her husband,

When she married Mr.. Jeffries it
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him, but, being ambitious,
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He was rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned. The fact that
she was already engaged to a man for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before. He was then a college boy,
tall, handsome, clever. She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly of their youthful
infatuatiOn. Underwood was without
