SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE HEN
Science Is Gradually Learning About Egg Producers, According to a
 Writer in Life.

The truth about hens-why some are helpful, others hopeless-perhaps will be the next notable achievement of science. How any fact can escape this time is hard to imagine. Kansas, from the one side, has surrounded Hen Truth to make it surrender important psychological information; Missouri, from the other, has begun to study the subject physiologically and has ar ranged an egglaying contest at the Mountain Grove poultry experiment station, which began on the first of last September and which is to run a year. The investigator in Kansas is a junior in the state university, taking work in the psychological laboratory. He reports these interesting discover les:
 1. Chickens do not care for a crowd, yet abhor being alone.
 2. Intelligent chickens have both mind and memory.
 8. They also have an ability to dis tinguish color grades.
 That's the way with these collegiate scientists! They leave us with princi- pies barren of practical value. What we most long to know is what color to paint the border of the flower beds to cause the aesthetic eye of intelligent hens to turn to other fields and re- member ours with aversion.-Life.

As a rule the beginner starts in the poultry business with great enthusi- Rsm. He carefully looks after the details and he gives the best of atten- tion. In time, however, in many cases, the enthusiasm wears of and he becomes neglectful, then he fails.
 If, on the other hand, he does not become discouraged, but keeps up his faithful work, he succeeds. The plant grows. There is an improvement in his stock, and his enthusiasm, instead of Tagging, is increasing.
 Now it is well not to be too enthusi- astic at the start. It is apt to breed over-confidence. The beginner in such cases is apt to build air-castles and get to that point where he knows it all." A little knowledge is some times a dangerous thing.
 It is necessary, of course, to have some enthusiasm. All enterprises re- quire it. Unless heartfelt interest is taken in the work assigned us we are apt to poorly perform our duties.
 Helter-skelter methods are disas- trous. Every muscle should bend to the proper performance of the work. The man who begins poultry-culture with the idea of becoming rich, is very apt to, sooner or later, sell out at less than cost. We must not aim too high.

process. The lime should not, of course, be confined, but merely GOV cred, as confined, it possesses consid- erable explosive force. Strain it and add peck of salt dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste, half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting and a pound of clear glue dissolved in warm water. Mix these well together and let the mix ture stand for seven days in a req sonably cool and shaded place. Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle, and when it is being nsed put 1t on as hot as possible, using a painters or an ordinary whitewash brush. AL ways use magnetism lime for white wash.

WHITEWASH THAT
 STICKS TO WALL
Excellent and Quite Inexpensive P1Sn of Improving General Appearance of the
 Home.

There are many brick and stone walls, as well as wooden outbuildings, fences and the like, about suburban place which, lacking paint, detract much from the general appearance of the home But paint is somewhat ex- pensive and cannot be applied with too lavish a hand by the average citi- zen. There is, however, whitewash, which is easily made and applied, is in- expensive, and which for most out door work will answer quite as well as oil paint. For chicken houses, brick walls and the like it is excellent.
 To make the whitewash, slake half a bushel of fresh lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the

She was at it again.
 Serrano stood back in the center of his own room, out of sight and watched her.
 Between them lay two yards, high fenced, uninhabited by humans. Never during his two weeks residence at 306 had he seen any person down in those barren little oblongs of earth. But in the house opposite she lived in room on the same floor as his own.
 'T have been in New York one month" Serrano had written back nome to Panama. ''It is most enter taining, but very, very lonely. I make no friends. It is wise, yes. I am but a poor Spanish student, madre mic, not that which is called here a spend err One may not be a spender on dreams, yes? A mere student, I, a translator day times in coffee estab- 1ishment. By night a student in these most excellent United States colleges. So does one become proficient in the ambition, the hope, the heart dream of success. In two years I shall be at home once again. Fear not for me. I forget never that have the honor to be your most affectionate and faithful son, JOSE"
 Every day a similar letter went south to Sonora Serrano, widow of the great civil engineer who had been killed by a fall in the canal works, one fatal backward step, and plunge to death over the towering lock.
 Money was left, certainly, but Jose had sworn he would touch only what was necessary for his education in these student days. He would be like his father, civil engineer. He would sail to New York, the city of gold, and study there, work, fight his own way. There would be then plenty for his mother to maintain the two great es- tates where so many American off cials had known Serrano hospitality.
 Yet, after two weeks, even with the highest ideals, and fortified by preju- dices and resolutions both, Jose

BOTHERED BY HER PLURALS
Norwegian Waitress Unable to Acquire Habit of Putting Letter IS"
 Where 1t Belonged.

The Norwegian waitress who was learning English had more trouble with her plurals than with any other difficulty. It seemed impossible for her to acquire the trick of putting on the letter "s'' at the right time and leaving 1t off at others. She would in- variably inquire on seeing a first help ing disposed of :"Will you have more lams?" or "Will you eat more chick ens?" When corrected for this she would take pains to ask: 'Will you have one bean?" and "Will you eat one huckleberry?" Finally the constant explanations of an overzealous mis- tress confused her past strengthening out. There were guests staying over the weekend, and Inga took the lady's order for a soft boiled egg, then the husbands for another. The girl, after a moments hesitation, walked to the dumbwalter and said to the kitchen below: "One soft boiled egg for two!"

Two important articles are neces- sary to success. Capital and expert ence. All businesses require both capital and a trained mind. Some years ago the poultry business was boomed with the false inducement that raising chickens was an occupa- ton that called for very little labor, practically no capital and very small amount of experience. These false in- ducements were handed out in order to create sales for stock and machin- cry.
 But instead of being that easy occu- patton, it was found to be one that required brains, energy, and every requisite needed in any other busi- ness. He who is easily discouraged, a victim of the 'blues," or he who soon tires of the sameness of work, or the close confinement 1t entails, had better leave the poultry business entirely alone.
 While it cannot be said that the care of poultry is hard, muscular work, at the same time getting up in the morning and repeating what every morning before was done during the week, working at night when lan- tern is necessary, duties to perform on every day, Sundays and holidays included, soon tries the grit, the push and the patience of a man.
 But if the man masters all these obstacles, and sticks to his business, he will, as a rule, succeed. There are times in all enterprises when it looks

For Instance.

"The sphere" said the philosopher, "is the first principle of nature. The earth is a sphere, the sun, the moon and the stars are spheres. The rain drop is a sphere; nearly all fruits and seeds are spherical, and what is it that child learns to play with first? A ball. Our eyes are spheres, and our heads, by far the most important parts of us, are round. In fact, there's hardly anything of any importance that isn't round"
 "Oh. yes there is," replied the icon oclast.

watched every day, once, twice, morn ing and evening, for the figure in pink negligee in the house opposite.
 She was tall and slender, and divine Iy young. Also she had a splendor of dark hair. He had watched it fall in ripping beauty over her shoulders several times. Also she believed in much fresh air Her windows were
 tide open to the Manhattan ozone rom morning till night. Never did she appear even to glance at those op- posite. Jose knew why. She was in some great, mysterious trouble. She brooded. She was miserable.
 But today she was suffering more yhan usual. He stared, fascinated by her actions. She paced the floor, not swiftly, but with steady, slow, rhyth- mic step like some caged leopardess. Sometimes she would pause before the mirror, stare at the sad, strained face reflected there, raise her hands above her as if in supplication, sink on her knees and sob, then presently back to the steady pacing. Her lips moved constantly as if in prayer.
 Jose felt he should go mad if it continued. Every nerve in his body was tense with the desire to save her from whatever it was she feared. His imagination pictured ten thousand prosecutions. Finally, as she dropped again to her knees, her shoulders shaking in a perfect agony of emotion, he seized his hat and rushed from his room.
 The door slammed behind him. Down the steps, two, three at a jump, he sped down the street, around the corner, and up the next street. Her number would be BIO, he judged. There was ivy clinging to 1t.
 He traced it easily, and ran up the steps in fever of impatience. Come what may, he would assist her, save her. He could at least offer his aid, let her know that in all that vast city there was one who would esteem it a blessed privilege to be allowed to help her.
 The door opened. Chilled water seemed to course down his spine as he sought to explain his madness to placid old Mrs. Gilligan, the landlady.
 "I greatly wish to speak with the young lady on the third floor, in the back of the residence" he stammered.

as InOuSn the DuS1neSS WOulQ Tall, put by begging away it is soon discovered that only a dark cloud had appeared.
 But it is at these times that the I faint-hearted begin to reason that the days for success in "this line" are gone by.
 When a man gets to that state of mind that he cannot see a silver lin- ing in the cloud, he is ready to accept the first offer to sell out. In the majority of cases he makes his losses all the greater by selling out below cost.
 The writer has seen days when there was hardly a cent of income, when he had to go into debt to buy feed and pay other expenses, and days, too, when he couldn't even see a pros pect of some business for a long time to come.
 But he stuck to the work, and when the first money came in, it was soon followed by other money, and in time the debts were paid, and ever since there has been more or less regularity of income.
 During those trying times, when it bCCAASQ dAAAO0I A4nPOSSAD4C NO hSCP IAO wolf from the door, the writer would meet men in other walks of life with the big rolls of bills in their pockets, with fiourishing occupations, but nevertheless, he held on, never losing an opportunity of making a turn for the good.
 He was rewarded. Some of those men with the big rolls of banknotes were not satisfied; they wanted to make more money, wanted to grow wealthy, read of the great sums, realized by men who invested in stocks, who became rich by the own ership of mining shares-they gave up their present occupations, sacri- feed the "goose that laid the golden egg and became slaves to the stock gambling lure, which finally left them high and dry.
 So the beginner must not forget that he who sticks to his work is the one who will finally come out on the right side. Trials are often angels in disguise.
 The beginner must know that his fowls deserve and must have the best of care. He must keep a close watch as to conditions, must provide con- fort, cleanliness and plenty of room. Likewise he must study the appetites of his flock.
 Both system and regularity are im- portant factors, never forgetting that shiftlessness is costly and filth Is a dangerous stumbling block. The qual- ity and quantity of brain work put into the concern determines the amount of success.
 Trained thinking and wise work ing" is a secret that will, in the end, bring about success. Bad luck" is merely another term for bad manage ment. No duty is rightly performed that is done in a mechanical manner.
 The beginner must stop and think He must notice the little matters. He must never assume more work than he can accurately perform. He must never overestimate his capacity, and he must never rush to get done.
 Haste makes waste. Map out a plan, and then work by it. Scrub treatment will bring scrub results. The lack of good business sense has been the cause of more failures than has anything else. A man never shirks his duty when he is in dead earnest in his work

FOURTEEN-FOOT BALLOTS.

The latest monstroSity in the way
of ballots was the fOurteen-fOOt bal
lot in recent election in New York.
From this il seems that the ten
drncy is in the direction of lengthen-
ing ii. This is one result of the un-
limited initiative. referendum, re-
call and Presidential primaries and
all other political reform measures.
Our ballots are too long. The av-
cragc citizen hasn't the time to find
out about the capabilities of a long
list of candidates and measures. Bus
mess will progress better when
many of these matters are left to the
representatives of the people.
Our politics may be badly in need
of reform, but il is very doubtful
whether fourteen-foOt ballots will
accomplish the task.
