A little Hebrew got on a train in

we're the members Of several the

would ask; and the actors would re-

CUBA'S WICKED CITY

Then the Prado and the Malacon and
the various parks become a fairyland
of lights. A band plays at the Mala-
con, as the boulevard along the ocean
front is called. All Havana energies
from its cool and comfortable stone
houses ready for a night Of pleasure.
The cafes are crowded. there is a
constant stream of automobiles and
carriages up and down the b%oulevards.
The sidewalks are filled with people
hurrying to the theaters. They are
nearly all dressed in the height Of
fashion. Havana is one of the richest
cities In the world. Its styles come
direct from Paris. The only cheap
things are tobacco and matches.
At eight o'clock performances begin
in a dozen theaters. At the Payret
grand opera is sung by a company Of
artists headed by Constantine Of the
Metropolitan forces. At the Albisu a
Spanish opera company from the City
of Mexico Is singing The Chocolate
Soldier" and The Count Of Luxem-
bourg." At the MART farce comedy
reigns.
In the moving picture and variety
theaters one finds real ~wickedness. The
grizzly bear" the bunny hug" are
modest compared with the dances
shown on the stages Of the variety
theaters, where the public Is admitted
for % and so cents. The little plays
are beyond description and the act
resses wear very scanty attire.
At midnight Central park, which is
in the heart Of the city, Is crowded
and filled with life as Broadway and
F-orty-second street before the theaters
swallow up the crowds. The cafes are
filed with people, but instead of eat
ing Holsters and draining cold bot
ties they eat ice cream and sip soft
drinks. There is very little drinking
Of alcoholic liquors in Havana.
The second floor is one big gam
bling room, and it is thronged nightly
by scores of American visitors as well
as rich Spaniards.

ADVANTAGES OF TRAP NESTS
BY Use Of Device Number Of Eggs
Laid by Each Hen May BE As-
o~ertained Without Trouble.

Tho primary object Of using trap
nests ia to develop a heavy laying
strain. Il has been found by the use
of trap nests that the number of eggs
laid per hen in an average flock varies
from 40 to GAS. Without using trap
nests. the results from such a flock
would be uncertain and probably un-
satisfactory. It is the object Of the
poultryman to breed and build up the
strain which lays the heaviest, by
breeding to the heavy producers.
For fanciers, the trap nest is lndis-

pensable on account of the fact that
in the ordinary pen there are froR
six 60 12 females to n male. II trap
nests are used. and there are as many
as there are females in the pen, it is
possible to distinguish each hens
eggs, while If the trap nests are not
used, this is impossible.
The use Of trap nests goes far to
prevent the hens forming the habit of
%egg-eating. They are likely to form
this habit If kept in limited quarters.
II so kept, they are probably not given
the very best food. and probably not
enough of it, especially animal food.
The accompanying drawings Of a
bank OF trap nests are self-explana-
tory. The nests are built without n
top or bottom. The hen enters through
the back Of the nest, brushing under
the hanging wire, which releases the
door. She then passes on to the nest
compartment toward the front end.
To inspect the nest, and to remove
the hen, ascertain her number, and Sc
cure the eggs, the front door is sins
ply u~nbuttoned, and let down. It will
be noticed that the two doors are fas-
tened together with a cord, SO that
when the front door is let down, the
trap is automatically set again. The
hen viii find 1t difficult to leave
through the back door at this time, as
the hanging wire permits her to go
one way only. These are 70 simple
that in making them in almost any
quantity. the material should not cost

Perches should be 70 inches apart

ly Leghorns or similar type, should be
kept at a greater distance from walls

common Is by Ringing them to the

The disposition Of the male bird has
considerable to do with the fertility
of the eggs. A male that is greedy and
qLarrelsome Is apt to drive hens
away from the feed ane gulp down
more than is good for him. Such
males become overfat and conse-
quently sluggish.
On the other hand, the too gallant
male viii stand back while the hens
are helping themselves. His condition
is as bad as the greedy bird. for he is
undefed and has not the proper
strength to fertilize.

The Turkish crown seemed tottering.
Abdul Hamid had before him a task
that would have crushed most rulers.
Yet he performed 1t with q skill that
stamped him as the subtlest and sblest
statesman Of his day.
At the outset Of his career as sultan
the atrocities in the Balkans led Rus
sia 10 declare war on Turkey. Russia
won the conflict and might have wiped
the stain OF Turkish crimes from the
earth had not the other European pow
ers grown jealous. They interfered;
saved Turkey and deprived Russia Of
nearly all the fruits of her victory. Al
ready the sultan was beginning TO
show his rare statesmanlike quail
ties.
In the peace treaty Abdul made
many fine promises. He kept none of
them, and he so fooled the European
powers that he suffered no penalty
from his breach of faith. He choked
the voice of liberty, silenced the
Young Turks" by force and made
himself sole master OF his empire. BY
playing one nation against another and
by owing some OF them huge debts
that his downfall might cancel, he
kept the world at large from interior
ing with his horrible plans.
For instance. in 1S95-I896 the signal
was given by him for a Wholesale mas
sacre OF Armenian Christians. Thou
sands OF defenseless persons were

atrocities had brought On a war with
Russia in 1877. Yet this time not one
European nation lifted a finger to
check the outrage.
But tyranny has always wrought It's

hand and foot by the web of Abdul
Hands willy diplomacy, took no step
TO check bis crimes, his own people az
length rose against him. The Young
Turks" grew too strong to be put
down. There was an almost bloodless
revolution in 1903. Abdul was de-
posed in April. 1909, and was sent to
Salonica as state prisoner. His
younger brother. Mehmed, or Moham.
