NJ. Joubert. as becomes one hold
ing his Office, is greatly concerned at
The falling of in the production OF
eggs in France. especially during the
winter months.
Whether it is that the hens have
grown lazy or The early hours they
keep in the cold prevents proper at
tention to business, the fact remains
that the number of eggs laid by
French hens has declined in recent
years. and there is, in consequence,
a growing importation OF foreign prod

NJ Joubert set himself to remedy
this condition of affairs, and he seems
to have been successful. Last octo-
Der he selected a dozen young hens
and divided them into two indiscrim-
mate lots Of six each. Both were fed
on exactly the same diet, but to the
feed of one half-dozen there was add
ed daily ration of a glass Of wine
per head.
The results were surprising. From
the hens which got no wine NJ. Jou-
bert had in October four eggs, in No
vember one and in December none,
and in January %.
The fowls which drank their glass
of wine daily responded notably to
the stimulant In October they pro-
duced rs eggs. in November 81, in De-
cember A and in January 46, so that
the topers showed an excess of pro

HATS THAT BUTTON IN BACK
Ladies Of Cedar Grove. NJ. j., Are
Much Upset by Their Own
Unanimity-Latest Fad.

Caldwell. n. J.-Hats which button
in the back are the latest fad in wom-
ans headwear in Cedar Grove. near
Caldwell. The style was introduced
by George Henry Smith, better known
as Farmer Smith. who ordered the
town milliner, Miss Flitterby, of Love
Lane. to build a hat in a special model
of his own design for his wife. Miss
Flitterby thought so much of the new
model that she told other customers
about it.
The result was that at least half OF
the women of Cedar Grove ordered
Miss Flitterby to make them hats OF
the same general model but with vari
Gus changes to suit individual tastes
Every womln who ordered new head
covering supposed she and Mrs Smith
would be the. only ones to introduce
the new style.

Descent of the Dog

From Harpers Weeklyp,
 It seems to be generally accepted by naturalists and the world at large that the domestic dog is in some sense . collateral descendant of the wolf or iackal,
 A professor in the natural history museum in Paris, has communicated re- suits of his study of various canine skulls to the academy of sciences. He appears to have noticed certain peeu- liarties of growth which have hitherto escaped zoologlsts. He states that the
 skull of almost every species of wolf
 and jackal differs from the skull of the shepherd dog 10 an extent that makes 1 it impossible that this dog should be- | long in the same classification. Ths skull of the Indian wolf. on the con-
 trary. shows some points of resem-
 blance. This indeed, Is the only saw 1 age canine the top of whose head pro.
 iects like that of our dog.
 There are. moreover, other character l istios which the Indian wolf has In
 common with our dog, and which the
 ordinary wolf does not share with them.
 although his origin and that of the dog ! have long been supposed to be com mon one.
 l The conclusion of the scientist Is that
 the Indian wolf Is the progenitor of the shepherd dog and the blood hound There were two primitive races of dogs analogous to these which were first do- mesticated In central Asia, whence | they passed to Europe, and there seems on reason to doubt that the blood hound of today Is the direct descendant of the dog spoken of by the ancient as l the dog of the age of bronze"

EIGHT POLAR BEARS
 AT THE ORPHEUM
Great White Animals to Entertain This Week-Four Other
 Good Acts

Madame Bernice and her great white polar bears, eight of them in all, will be the big headline feature at the Orpheum theatre this week commencing with a matinee Monday afternoon.
 The bears are said to be the only speci- mems of the polar family that are to be seen in vaudeville and the act constitutes the greatest drawing card for women and children that the Keith family time offers. The great animals are perfectly trained, and they perform a number of interesting tricks behind the bars which are reared on the stage as a protection to the audi ence while the brave little woman puts them through their paces. The animals have to be given the greatest care and their upkeep alone costs over slo0 per week They are kept as cold as possble at all times, and plenty of water and ice is provided in their tanks. They are ex- eeedingly difficult to bring south on ac- count of the weather. and for this reason are rarely seen on the southern circuit. The act is daring and different from other animal specialties, and as this Is the first that has ever been to the Or pheum the children will probably want to see the bears.
 For the first time in many months there Is to be Japanese act at the Orpheum this week. The clever Orientals always bring number of new, smart and dan gerous feats with them. and the Yoschino Japs are known as one of the very best trios of performers on the vaudeville stage. The change from the American and European acrobats to the Japs and their skill will be welcome although some of the best of the other have been wit ressed recently.

 Assist is celebrated as the birthplace
 of Saint Francis and Saint Clara, both | of whom were the founders of a pop | ular and influential religious order.
 Most visitors are primarily attracted / to the unique double church of the . place but I can recall no more charm ling hour than that spent in rambling Through the cloisters and gardens of
 Ste. Maria Angeli, the church estab- |lished by the saint who has made Assist famous and listening to the le- gends associated with the holy man as detailed by a jolly, attending priest. | The church of today is quite a large and imposing structure built by St. Francis and known as the Porzioncula N hich in those days was nothing more than a cell wherein it's occupant lived as a hermit.
 He was the son of a wealthy mer- chant and from his having learned French was nicknamed Francesca (The Frenehman), his real name being Giovanni. Naturally generous in dispo- sition he gave former general of the place who had been reduced to pen lry all of his handsome clothes and donned the old soldiers rags, but that night in vision he saw number of precious ornaments and accoutrements Tor Wal marked with a cross and in the midst of them stood Christus saying, These are the riches reserved for My Servants and the weapons wherewith arm those who fight for Me" This vision determined the young man and, donning tunic of coarse brown serge, bound with a simple cord, he wandered about the country tending the sick and lepers and begging from the rich to give to the poor. It was this life of voluntary penury which gave rise to the expression of the marriage of St.
 Francis with the Lady Poverty, a sub
 ject so frequently met up with in art.
 Though companions began to flock
 about the saint the Pope at first refused
 to recognize his order and it was not
