royal donations as those received

Doctor Eversley as physician and

the contagious feature of the case

Miss Dorman denounced Nettie

Doctor Eversley, as he and Nettie

POINTS IN PIGEON RAISING
Young Bird, Unlike a Chick, Cannot
Feed Itself, but Must Be Fed
by One of Parents.

A young pigeon, unlike a young
chicken, cannot feed itself. but must
be fed by the old bird.
Very often squads do not leave the
nest until they are a month old and
ready for the market.
Sometimes the old bird will favor
one of their offspring and feed 1t con-
tinually, allowing the others to go
hungry much of the time. 1t is not
unusual to see one large, plump bird
and a ha~lf-starved, puny n In the
same nest, both having been Matched
at the same time.
The male bird sits on the nest at
night and the female in the daytime.
Some dealers say that this is the only
true test of mating.
An old Pennsylvania breeder says
that a sure test of sex is to take the
bird by the bill and draw 1t down to
the ground. If the birds tail fits up
ward 1t Is a male; If downward 1t Is q
female.
Vermin is a constant menace to
pigeons and must be always fought
Frequent withdrawing. absolute
cleanliness and tobacco stems placed
in the nests will generally keep the
birds reasonably clean.

A swarm of bees issues from a
hive in the apiary, and no frame hive

or limb of a tree. The bees are cap

because of pressure of other bust

Doubtless some bees are kept In box
hives because the owners think NOV
able frame hives are too expensive.
judging hat it is economy to use
cheap boxes.
Box hive bee keeping is profitless
to the owner, as the honey has to be
cut from the brood nest where 1t is
mixed with pollen, young brood.

menace to all the bees in the commu-

disease without tearing the box and

OCCUPIES BUT SMALL SPACE
Novel Tray Accessory Is tho "Three-ln-
One" Complete and Inexpen-
slve Outfit.

Something new in nickelware Is the
"three-in-one" tray accessory. 1t con-
sists Of a tea or coffee pot, cream
Jug and sugar bowl, each so made that
1t fits above the other, thus forming
r unique whole. 1t Is complete and
inexpensive. Often it is hard to ar
range a small breakfast or invalid's
tray in al inviting fashion without
crowding the various pieces of china
and silver together. This little nick
ell device will be found a great help.
and give at the same time a novel air
to the tray, causing the invalid's eyes
to brighten with pleasure.
A nickel or copper plated percola-
tor, to be attached with cord to the
gas jet, is something that will be found
convenient to use under the tea ket-
tie or chatting dish. thus doing away
with the troublesome alcohol lamp,
which many nervous women do not
care to use.
For travelling, too, this gas percola-
tor will be found very handy, as II
is often enjoyable to give a "chaine
dish supper" in ones own apartments
and with this new device all the an
noyance Of carrying around or using
alcohol is avoided. There is nothing
whatever to do but adjust the per
colator, put the tube over the gas jet
and light the light.
Nickel-plated vegetable dishes nov
come on the order of silver ones, onl,
many times less expensive. Some o
these are made with divided porcelain
dishes inside and a tiny hole, int
which the hot water Is run to keep tn
table.

Why Coffee Is High.

Housekeepers know they nave to pay
more; grocers can only explain that
"coffee has gone up like everything
else.' But prices don't ego up' with
out some reason, and the facts in regard
to coffee throw some light on the causes
of the "high cost of living says the
Baltimore Sun.
While the wholesaler has to pay ii
cents a pound and have it doled out to
him, there are 100000 bags of Brazil
ian coffee stored in New York alone.
Ten years ago the wholesale price was
from 5 IA to Z 12 cents. We are paying
twice as much now because coffee is
controlled by a trust. 1t is the most
difficult kind of combine to reach, be-
cause its roots are in Brazil and the
branches spread all over Europe, as they
do over America. Brazil produces most
of the world coffee and grew more
than could be consumed. Growers in
duced the state Of Sac Paulo to back
them in limiting production and putting
up the price. A monopoly was created,
SIS, 600, 900 furnished by foreign bank
ers to finance the scheme, and control
of the output and sale of Brazilian cof-
fee placed in the hands of seven men,
bankers and coffee merchants. The
Brazilian coffee states put a prohibi.
tive tax on all coffee produced over the
limit fixed. Since 1908, when the mono.
poly was established, the price of coffee
has gone up rapidly.
The world consumes about $4,000,
600 bags of coffee annually, 40 per cenl
being consumed in the United States
Of the 6,365,OO0 bags received at New
York last year, 5,155,000 bags came
from Brazil.
The United States government has Sc
out to break the coffee trust, which fo-
four years has taken $40, 000, 900 tol
from the American breakfast table
While our laws cannot reach the trus
in Brazil, the department of justice will
try to compel the sale in open market o
the $50 900 bags now in New York AM
prevent storage by the trust in the Unit
ed States to keep up prices. Distric
Attorney Wise has brought suit i
equity under the Sherman anti-trus
law to compel open sale of the $4,000
bags in storage and to curtail the opel
ations of the trust in this country. H
believes this one order will bring dow
the price.
The decision of our own courts wi,
lay down a precedent in dealing wit
international combines which, up to thi
time, have claimed complete exemptio
from the operations of the Sherma
law.
