FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Last year the country's egg prOduc-
ton reached nearly 16,000,0000O0, and
New York city is said to have used
1.274.0OO.O00 of these. New York
stands ninth in egg production, but Is

When Harry Ziegler, near Sunbury.
Pa. entered his henhouse he found all
his chickens dead and stretched beside
them seven dead weasels. The weasels
killed an the hens, and then took

As fowls grow old their tendency is
to make fat of feed rather than eggs
or meat That is why you seldom see
hens over two years old on paying
plants.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty TO Animals Is waging war

Eggs bought In open market for pre-
serving often spoil because of various
ages and because they are good, bad

contain haymow and hogpen eggs.
A woman in Connecticut who had
fancy for dogs, and kept only 300 of

MAY RETURN TO THE STAGE.

LONDON, January 6.-Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse Lewissohn plan to sail for
New York next Wednesday with the
of remaining a fortnight in
America. There is one possibility
that may prevent their departure,
that of Mrs. Lewissohn deciding to
accept an offer which has been made
to her to return to the sage, but not
in musical comedy, in which she won
reputation as Edna May.
The idea is to induce her to appear
in legitimate comedy in a new play
which has been written by an Ameri-
can author, and which Robert Lorraine
is preparing to produce. Lorraine is
bringing all his powers of persuasion
to bear on Mrs. Lewissohn who, al
though so far inclined to accept, has
withheld a decisive reply,

How long Mr.. Asquith will be able
to keep togther a Cabinet majority
which, under the lead of Mr.. Lloyd
George, has revolted against him in
question of SURPRISING importance, is
subject which is causing a great
deal of discussion in political circles
here, and the answer lies, according
to some prophets, in Mr. Lloyd
Georges opportunity for persuading
his present chief of the advantages
of retirement to the highly honorable
post which Mrs. Asquith has her eye
on for her lord.
1t is perhaps hardly necessary to
point out that Mr.. Asquith, now that
his health is greatly improved, may
not be so amenable to these various
persuasions as it was thought likely
some months ago he would be, and as,

also that some of the houses had a

Professor Schurchardt thinks that

the new Stone Age were more likely
designed for storehouses than for
dwelling places. He believes he has

REAP MILLIONS IN TIPS.

MONTE CARLO, January 6.-The
croupiers of the Casino here are by
no means so delighted as might have
been expected at the permission ac-
corded to them to accept tips from
lucky players. When the new regu-
lations came into force "pourboires'
rolled in, bubt lately the stream of
gratuities has been running dry, and
one croupier said that his share of
the tips during the last fortnight had
barely exceeded francs a day. One
reason for this is said to be that luck
has recently been against the big
players.
However results may work out at
Monte Carlo, there are official stats
tics to show that the croupiers reap
rich harvest at French gambling re.
sorts, such as Nice, Enghien-les.
Bains, Vichy and Trouville.
At Enghein, a little place near
Paris, where gambling is conducted
on a big scale, the cropiers in a yeai
received $1,345,0OO, the chief croupiel
alone receiving more than $4,000
The receipts at the Enghien Casino
| from the "sagnotte" or kitty in 1917
were $1,7OO, 200; at Nice, $1,5OO,OO0i
at Vichy, 100000, and at Trouville
where the season lasts a little more
than a fortnight, S445,000.

FRANCE AND SPAIN AT ODDS.

MADRID, January 6.-The Franco
Spanish negotiations over Morocco
are likely to be broken off because
France persists in her demand to ex-
ercise a protectorate over the whole
of Morocco, while Spain insists on
complete domination over the dis
trict of the southwestern portion.
There is a very pessimistic feeling
in regard to the situation.

AMERICAN HUNTS LIONS


LONDON, January 6.-BTitish East
Africa has been visited by many lion
hunters, including Colonel Roosevelt,
but none has adopted such peculiar
methods and few have achieved such
wonderful success as Paul Rainey,
the American, who recently returned
to Nairobi after a six months trip in
the interior. II. Hill, one of the guides
attached to his party, who also ac-
companied Colonel Roosevelt, touched
at Lorenzo Marquee the other day,

description of the various hunts in
which he had taken part with Rainey.

lions, but not to shoot them. lie de-

roRLoNIA HEIR BAPTIZED.


ROME, January 6.-Americans here
took great interest in the baptism of
the infant son of Donna Elsie Torlo-

ceremony took place in the old Tor

the name of Alessandro, in memory
of his great ancestor, who founded
the fortunes of the house. Little
Alessandro is his parents second
child, as a daughter was born to them
about two years ago
The baptism, following the Roman
custom, was the occasion of much
stately rejoicing Cardinal Falconio
performed the ceremony, which was
most appropriate, as he married Duke
Marine and Donna Elsie in New York
few years ago. He congratulated
them most heartily on having both a
son and a daughter The godfather
was the Duke of Torlonia, the head of

DENouNcEs "NAsTY NOVELS"

LONDON, January 6. - Canon
Rawnsley delivers a trenchant philip
pic in the new number of the Hilbert
Journal against the spread Of PERM
cious literature.
THE first thing we have to real
ize," he says lis that in the last few
years the organized production and
distribution of indecent pictures ana
immoral books in all languages have
immensely increased. In our own
country, six years ago, a judge de-
clared from the bench that close upon
half a million indecent papers were
being circulated every week, and that
four tons of one of the worst of them
were being exported to the colonies
"The circulation of these indecent
weeklies is said to be nearer a mil
lion than half million today, Much
of this corrosive press is grossly illus
trated by pictures of women in every
stage of undress and every attitude Of
lasciviousness."
Even more frankly does Canon
Rawnsley speak out against "degrad-
ing post cards." thousands of which,
he says, are "only on the border line
of indecency and could not success
fully be prosecuted"

Wales shortly before his departure

One critic applies the Chancellor's
arguments to himself by pointing out
that Lloyd-George declared that if the
wealth of England were divided as he
would like it to be, every one could
have $1,000 year.
Mr.. Lloyd-George," continues the
critic, fails to mention that six years
ago, or whereabouts, he was an un-
known quantity and earning a modest
income as small attorney. Since
then, by means of false statements by
his party, namely, that they, if put
into power, would practice economy
