themselves, that people sleep on them
during the summer. All of the great
hotels of the-country are also fitted with
fire escapes. These also act as bill es-
caPes on many occasions and much of
the profits of hotel keeping go down the
escapes with the guests who cannot bear
to bid the clerk a $3.50 goodbye in the
morning.
Fire escapes do not save many lives
because they are always somewhere else
when the fire breaks out. But they are
a great comfort to the timid woman who
couldn't climb down a set of cellar
stairs in five minutes and as soon as she
finds that she is connected with the earth
by l79 feet of rusty ladders with the
cold north wind singing through. them
she feels as safe in her hotel bed as if
she was at home.
After gazing upon several thousands
of rickety old wooden buildings through
out America, all fitted with fire escapes,
we have concluded that these inventions
are doing a nefarious work by assisting
the buildings themselves to escape from
fire and thus arresting the cause of archi-
lecture and the cities beautiful. What
most of Americas buildings need is not

Lngr0tifude
By Wait Mason.

All numbed is my reason, and frigid
my feet I'm tired of this season of
good things to eat! I'm weary of turkey,
I've soured upon goose, my insides are
jerky, my wishbone is loose I've gorged
upon pudding until I would die; Pm
lodging, eluding all manner of pie. Al
though I'm a dandy at Furnishing grub,
I'm tired of the candy that comes by the
tub; the oysters, the dressing, the ice
cream and cake, all, all are distressing,
and give me an ache. Rich grub sends
SILVER through surfeited men; I'm long
ing for liver and onions again. Ny sys-
TEN is aehin', and won't be denied for
fried eggs and bacon and spuds on the
side. 'Twould make my soul ehirrup
to fill up once more on bueBwheat and
siruP and sauerkraut galore, but that
would be treason, of style an abuse; at
this bughouse season it's turkey and
goose. It's turkey that's roasted; and
goose that Is baked, and things that are
toasted, and things that are faxed; it's
oysters and gravy and stuffing and jam,
and spaghetti wavy, with which we must
cram. My nerves all a-quiver, sit in
my den, and long for plain liver and
onions again!-Copyright, 1912, by

Why Eggs Are Dear
(By Garrett P. serviss.)

I'D you know that when a chick,
that is to become a hen, pecks-
- open the shell and steps out to
salute the king of day with its wise
little eye, it brings with it into the
it will ever lay?
That is a small fact. for whose
truth biologists vOuch, which possesses
a great Importance.
You may have supposed that by
good feeding and careful treatment u
hen could be induced to lay a larger
number of eggs in the course of her
had been left to her own gallivaceOUs,
or hen like, preferences and fancies.
But If so you were mistaken Every
hen has a fixed capital in eggs handed
out to her at the beginning of her life.
She cannot add to the number, and
when she has laid them all her use
fulneSs in the world is ended, and she
VIII not long survive.
The bearing of this on the problem
of the egg supply is plain. You can
hurry up the production by special
feeding, forcing and selecting pro-
cesses, but you can not increase the
total number of eggs capable of being
laid by one hen And, more than
that, you will perceptibIy shorten her
life by every additional dozen eggs
that you compel her to lay.
Her Number OF Eggs.
have read somewhere the following
statistical statement about the number
Of eggs that hens are capable of lay
ing; the common hen can lay in a
year from 80 to $50; the leghorn can
lay from $50 to $50; the Brahma some
thing over 200. But that is almost their
entire capital, and at the end of the
year their powers are practically ex-
hausted.
In a state Of nature they would not
i
In that way. The jungle fowl, from
which domestic hens are descended,
lays on the average ten eggs in a
year and lives about Is years. The
domestic hen, in the hands of her mer-
ciless master, is forced to lay her
whole $50 eggs in a single year. and
il she continues to produce sparingly
during a second year it is only at the
expense of the small surplus of reserve
fund of germ plasm that nature gave
her to provide against the accidents Of
existence.
An Egg Producer.
The people Of the United States con-
sumo in one year 100000. 900 eggs.
To attain that enormous annual sup
ply the life of the hens. which nature
set at IS years when she was a care
free inhabitant of the indian JungleS,
has been cut down to year or two.
She has been turned into an egg
producing machine, driven at the high
est attainable speed. Not only is she
robbed of her right TO be a mother.
She must not, hatch out her young and
show them, with mOtherly pride, how
to pick up a living, for that would be
a waste of time from her masters
point of view. He will Ndo the hatch
ing with a kerosene lamp and viii
furnish patent food for her unnursed
babies, while she goes back to lay an
other dozen eggs and surrender aloth-
er year of her life.
This is the epic of the hen. It is q
very poor epic, as have presented it;
but, for any person whose sympathies
are broad enough to include other
tragedies and other comedies than
those of mere human life, it possesses
an appeal that cannot we'll be ne
elected. It will reward thought. We
are egg born animals ourselves.

-capes; the Bible, ladders and in
dustry.
Il takes all ones life to escape from
fire by means of the Bible. By means
of industry one may escape for many
years only to be fired when old and
infrm. But by means of the patent fire
escape which is fastened on the outside
of the hotel and is connected with the
interior by locked doors designated by
red lights which aren't burning one may
sometimes escape from fire in less than a
minute
The common OF roof-garden fire escape
is made of iron steps or ladders with
platforms at each floor. These ladders
are connected with the earth by about
eight feet of atmosphere, through which
the escaper must jump. In case of fire
on the 18th floor the fire escape affords
safe and exhilarating pastime. Those
who have tried tripping imerrily down
ladder 200 feet above ground holding
on with one hand and dressing hastily
with the other, have recommended the
sport as much preferable to parachute
jumping:
In great cities all tenements are fitted
with FIRE escapes which are so much
more comfortable than the tenements

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is it right for a young man who is
going with a girl for two months and
is not engaged to her to give her a
gold lOcket and chain2
Also, is it right for the girl to re-
turn the present after they had quar-
rel, without the young man asking for
it, and should he ask her to return it?
Anxious.
She should not accept a gift so costly
from one to whom she is not engaged
To return it after quarrel does not
wipe out the bad taste of having &C
cepted it.
Under no circumstances should a
man ask for the return of presents
That is an unpleasant procedure in
which the girl always takes the mi
tiative.
