WINE FOR FOWLS

NJ Joubert, professor at the agricul-
Cural college at Fountainebleau,
claims that he has discovered a new
and simple method of making hens
lay He feeds them with wine in ad-
dition to their ordinary food. The
professor has not allowed his discov-
cry to be made known lightly He
has been experimenting with fowls OF
all kinds for several years and finds
the same result in every case. In
each case he experimental for the
four winter months with two sets OF
IL fowls of the same breed, adding
bread soaked in wine to the food OF
one Of the two sets of IL. In every
case after six separate trials the wine
fed hens laid more eggs in the pro-
portion of 20 eggs month or there
about.

HOUSE OF DIAMONDS

About 20 years ago the diamond
merchants of Amsterdam held their
market as best they could. The mer-
chants would meet in cafe. or some
times in the street, where, drawing
their gems from their pockets, they
would compare them, chatter, and con-
clude their contracts. Those days
may be termed the patriarchal age.
In time the merchants saw that their
precious goods were worthy of more
dignif1ed procedure. They rented
premises, which they named "Beurs
voor den Diamanten." Business pros
pering, Amsterdam absorbed about
two-thirds of the worlds commerce In
the precious stones, and the syndicate
determined to build their own hall or
exchange, and this the minister Of the
interior has recently opened on the
Weesperplein.

Noted Guerrilla Survives the Knife

ing easily reconstructed" Grant
liked Mosby, and he did what he
could for him, just as he did for Long
street, who also suffered from south
ern disdain because he was willing to
accept an Office at the hands of an old
West Point comrade. Longstreet had
to make his living, and SO did Mosby.
and both, knowing that the war was
over, thought there was nothing
wrong in working for the kindly
Uncle Sam against whom they had
been fighting for some years.
When Mosby was raiding between
the armies and capturing all kinds of
northern property, he gave little
thought TO the safety of certain of his
own belongings. Just as the war was
about to end, Union officer captured
5000 pounds OF tobacco belonging TO
the guerrilla chieftain. The raider
did not like it, for his loss was made
the subject of jokes innunlerable. The
confederate said nothing for a long
time, for there was certain adage
which had to do with turn about and.
fair play, and he thought presumably
that people would hold that it fitted
his case.
After the years went by the raider
thought of his 5000 pounds of tobacco
and Of its value in money. He peti-
toned the United States senate TO
pass bill which would give him the
right to go to the court of claims for
payment for the tobacco confiscated
by the government.
1t was said at the time that the old
rebel chieftain had the raiding In
stinct so strong in him that he must
needs make a foray against the Unit
ed States treasury The senate grant
ed the colonel leave to go to the
court of claims, but whether he ever
recovered the money for his 5000
pounds Of fine cut and plug the rec
ords are not at hand to show.
