This Baby Chick Had Two Heads.

A baby chick with two heads is
an unusual freak.
A chick of this nature, a black
minorca, was hatched by a hen set
ting from a setting of eggs that Mrs.
Amelia Kaiser, Atco, Wayne county,
put under her. The chick was hatch
ed a week ago and when Mss. Kaiser
reached under the mother hen to
take out the chicks she was astonish-
ed at the freakish little bundle OF
fluff that wiggled two heads on one
body and peeped as Justify as the rest
of the hatch. Except for the extra
head there wasn't a flaw in the
chick. The eyes, bill and rest of the
head was perfectly formed. The
second head shot off from the left
wing near the neck and was, if
anything a little smaller than the
other head. The chick hoped
around and even started to peck with
both heads. Mrs. Kaiser kept it for
several days and it grew in strength,
but she didn't like the canny sight
that it presented so she had it
strangled. The chick, after being
killed, was placed in a bottle of al
cohol to preserve it. The freak will
probably be given to the Everhart
museum at Scranton.

TILLMAN WANTS L. s. TO
BUILD BIGGEST WARSHIP.

Washington, ID. C.-Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, is impatient
over the race for naval supremacy
and wants the United States to say
the last word in naval construction
by building the biggest ship the
world has ever seen or ever will see,
to cost $25, 100000 if necessary, and
to be named The Terror. This ship
is to be the worlds peacemaker and
to frighten all the other nations in
to submission. If that does not
work he would have the United
States join with two other leading
nations and agree not to arm furth-
er; and then force other nations to
do likewise "or drive them out of
good society"
In a resolution introduced in the
senate Mr.. Tillman directed the COM
mittee on naval affairs of the SEN
ate, of which he has been a mem
Der for eighteen years, to investi-
gate and report to the senate what
is the biggest ship that can be built
with the maximum speed and the
maximum desirable radius of action,
and the heaviest armor and guns
that can navigate the sea and en-
ter the first-class harbors of the
world and existing drydocks as well
as pass through the Panama canal.

Three weeks ago Mrs. Othmer
while walking on Market tsreet, slip

HONEST ADVERTISING
WINS IN LONG RUN.
BY Wm. G.. freeman.

Rev. DR.. Reisner of Grace Metho-
dist Episcopal church, New York, re-
Gently sent letter to a number OF
business men asking them some
questions, based on the alleged state
ment of Rev. r. j. Compbell of Lon
don, that business man cannot be
absolutely honest and succeed.
great many honorable men, so
Dr. Reisner says, claim that an abb
solutely upright Standard of hon
esty is impossible for the man who
is determined to succeed in busi-
ness.
The following are the questions
that he asked of the merchants:
l. Is it possible to succeed in
business and be absolutely honest?
2 Why do dishonest men fail to
reach fullest success?
3. Why do so many salesmen re-
sort to sharp practices to make
sales?
4. Is it ever excusable to misrep-
ersent or exaggerate goods either in
quality or popularity of demand?
Here are four very good answers
to those questions sent to DR.. Refs
ner by Mr.. Murphy, president of the
Mark Cross company:
l. Yes-and if done any other
way the man does not get the full
measure of success.
.. Because the most difficult
thing in the world is to lie dishon-
estly for any length of time.
8. Sharp practice is their trag-
edy-that is why there are so many
bad statesmen.
4. There is no excuse for such a
blunder. Retribution follows hard
on the heels of misrepresentation
Advertising may be fraudulent or it
may be profitable, but it cannot be
both. There is no fool so great as
the fool who thinks he is foollng
everybody. First he labors hard to
gain a dishonest reputation, and af-
terward he labors to undo it. Like
Frankenstein, who released the genii
from the bottle only to find he could
not control him.
Another paper was read at the
Sunday night service, December 3,
which made the point that the man
who practices dishonesty in his
business has to be a great deal
smarter man than the man who
practices nesty-that he has great
er difficulty in attaining partial sue
cess than the man who is inherently
honest has in attaining a great sue
cess.
Is it not true that the businesses
that prosper most in our communi-
ties are those whose owners are men
of character who stand for some
thing in the world?
There is no doubt that honesty in
business pays best in the long run,
and the honest advertiser has a bet
ter chance to succeed than the dis
honest advertiser.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Chicago.-Speaking on the sub
ject of " School Architecture" before
the National Educational Association,
William B. Ittner, architect for the
st. Louis Board of Education, in the
recent educational convention, laid
emphasis on the desirable features
of school buildings. He said:
Investigations of the conditions
OF school buildings have brought
substantial results. Legislation,
however, has been more in the di-
rection of means of escape from fire,
rather than in safe buildings and
permanent improvements looking TO
fire prevention. While buildings
should be erected fireproof whenever
funds will permit, the safety of our
buildings depends quite as much
upon the location of its stairways,
corridors, the exits, the disposition
OF the rooms, their height, and the
site upon which it is located.
While conditions vary in differ
ent communities, authorities agree
that the minimum allowable area
for site, after deducting the area of
building, plant and other restrict
ed areas, should be eighty or forty
square feet per pupil. One hun
uIu anu MY square Ieet per pupil
may be taken as a working standard
in cities, While ten and twelve acre
sites may be considered ideal in sub
urban districts.
The building should be low.
This, OF course, is not possible in
large cities, but we will address our
remarks to general practice and not
to special problems. Special pre-
caution should be taken against fire.
This includes the isolation of the
basement, the proper construction
and location of stairways, which
should be enclosed in incombustible
material, the avoidance of hollow
spaces in walls and ceilings, and a
due consideration OF size and loca-
tion of corridors, and grouping or
rooms. Due care must be given to
lighting, ventilation, and provision
made for the rapid circulation OF
pupils from floor TO floor.
In planning High schools, the
size of the class rooms cannot be
standardized as they must vary to
meet the requirements. Special con-
sideration should be given to special
rooms, as laboratories, commercial
rooms, manual training, domestic
science, gymnasium, library, rest
