SEVERE ON GIRLS IN PERISH
Between Sexes Asserts Itself
Ceiibacy Disgrace.

The birth of girl in Persia is re
ceived with pity, even by her mother
Why should ] not weep over my lit
tie girl, who will have to endure the
same miseries as have known" she
cries. she Is of so little value! Who
knows whether her father will not one
day throw her out of the window and
so silence forever her wailing? And
why should he be annoyed? He knows
he may do such thing with impunity,
No one cares any more than If it was
cat which had to suffer for his
wrath"
From the hour of birth the social
inequality between the sexes asserts
itself. Infant mortality is very high,
owing to the ignorance and inexperi
ence of the women. Since celibacy
is considered a disgrace, girls are of
ten married as young as ten or twelve,
In order to reduce the rate of infant
mortality some men have suggested
that the mother should have finger
cut off every time she lost child.
This cruelty, however, has not been
adopted. But that 1t should have en-.
tered into the minds of any Persian
men is significant enough.-Je Sais
Tout.

SEPARATING YOUNG AND OLD
Growing PulIet Requires More Food
Than Cid Birds and Feeds Better
When by Herself.

Young chickens, like young people,
have more or less timidity, and there
fore it is not well to run young and
old together, at least it is much bet
ter to have them separate II you can
well do so. Then again the pullets are
still growing, and they need plenty Of
fiesh-forming feed. such as barley,
bone, meat, with less of fattening
foods.
The hen should not be deprived of
these either, but she can get along on
less, as what you give her will not be
taken away from the purpose for
which you intended it, as in the case
with the pullet. which not only needs
these things for making the egg, but
to go toward the development of her
body.
1t naturally follows, too, that the
developed bird will require less feed
than the pullet, and because the pull
let is somewhat timid she is likely
not to get enough, or even her
share. The young will feed more free
among themselves, and, II you can
possibly do SO. keep them to them
selves.

WHlTTlER's DOG QUITE WISE

Ballad, robin Adair."

During one of the last birthday eel.
ebrations of the poet Whittier he was
visited by celebrated singer. The
lady was asked to sing, and, seating
herself at the piano she began the
beautiful ballad Of Robin Adair. Z"
She had hardly begun before Mr..
Whittier's pet dog came into the
room and. seating himself by her side.
watched her as though fascinated,
listening with delight unusual In an
animal When she had finished he
came and put his paw very gently
into her hand and licked her cheek.
Robin takes that as a tribute to
himself" said Mr. Whittier. HE also
Is Robin Adair'"
The dog, hearing his own name,
evidently considered that he was the
hero of the song. From that mo.
ment. during the lady's visit he was
her devoted attendant. He kept by
her side while she was indoors, and
when she went away he carried her
bag in his mouth to the gate and
watched her departure with every ev.

1t Is always best to buy thorough

can in time breed up to very high

and will do very well on rocky hill

They need shelter in bad weather
of course, but an open shed, wind
tight ON three sides, leaving the south

A good wire fence is required te
keep them in bounds. As Shetlands are
extremely curious and somewhat rest

If handled from BIRTH they are very

Playing New French Game.

ing but slightly in weight.
In starting the game, the beam of
the balance is locked in place in the
same manner as the ordinary weigh
ing balance, and each player takes
set of balls and proceeds to place
them. one at time, in the depres-
sions in the respective pans The
object of each player is to place the
heaviest of the balls in the depres-
sions farthest from the center of the
balance. After the balls are in place,
the beam is released and hand on
top of the balance registers the win
ner and the number of points his
side outweighs or outbalances that
of his competitor. Thus the player
who can estimate most accurately the
comparative weights Of the balls by
simply weighing them in his hands
wins the game.
