and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at

her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.

Captivated by Waiting Room.

The project of Paris police has two
waiting rooms for visitors. One is for
men. 1t is dark and rather dingy. The
baroness Of the walls is relieved by a
railway map of France and on the
table is a directory. But the women's
waiting room is furnished with far
greater care. in the corner is a superb
Louis XIV. dressing table provided
with all kinds Of articles, even rice
powder, lip pencils, carmine. sprays
containing scent to suit all tastes, bot
ties of toilet water and a manicure
set. 1t is believed that the new project
found on first assuming office that
women with whom he had appoint
ments on official affairs were often
late. 1t is understood that the only
disadvantage which he now finds is
that his doorkeeper has difficulty in
convincing visitors that their turn has
come to leave the waiting room for the
projects Office.

STARTING PLACE OF
POULTRY SUCCESS
Harder Job Making Money With
Hens Than Running Grocery
Cleanliness Essential.
(By +. s. MILLER. J


The mar who tries to make any
thing out of poor flock of hens has a
worse job than making bricks without
straw.
The starting place of success with
poultry is with the man. If you think
anybody can make money with hens
you have something yet TO learn It
is a harder Job than running a grocery
successfully, and thousands of men
have found out that that is worse
than running for president
After you have found your man, or
developed him out of your own mate
rial, get the right kind of hers. What
hens that are from a laying strain,
the hens that lay white eggs.
Then give them a good place 10 live.
The men who have made a go of poul-
try have learned that cleanliness is an
absolute essential You will have to
learn that too. 1t sounds cheap; but
if you think it is, try it single season.
Cleanliness is the costliest thing about
the poultry business.
After that, good pure food stands
high. There is an old notion that any,
thing is good enough for a hen to eat.
1t isn't. Nothing but the best and
purest material ever should be put in
to an egg. There are men who can
tell, or think they can, what kind of
feed a hen has had Just by the flavor
Of the egg she lays.

No Sympathy There.

81 have noticed lately" said the
manager, that you have not been al.
tending properly to business. Your
mind doesn't seem to have been on
your work. What is the matter?"
I'm sorry that my work has not
been satisfactory I've tried to do my
best. but / have had a great deal OF
trouble lately. ! haven't been able to
sleep for nearly a week"
That's too bad. What is the nature
of your trouble?"
My wife is threatening to leave
me and go back to live with her
parents
Say look here-you get to work.
And don't let me notice any more neg
lect on your part. If you expect to get
any sympathy here on account of the
kind of trouble you are having you're
in for horrible disappointment"

Turkey raising is one of the easiest
things ever tried, as we'll as the most
paying industry for woman.
If you wish to try out the business,
never allow old turkeys to lay out,
but watch them and see that the eggs
are gathered every night
To keep them laying in the same
place, pat two or three glass nest eggs
in the nest on the sly. and never let
the turkeys see you near the nests nor
do rot disturb them while on the
nest
A hen turkey will lay from IA to 20
eggs before getting broody, and if
when she does sit upon the nest all
day, you can catch her late at night,
and confine in an outbuilding for a
week or so with plenty of good food,
water and grit. she will go back to lay
ing again soon after being liberated,
and lay as many more eggs.
The first eggs laid can be set under
a common mother hen. Ten eggs to a
hen, and she will do quite as well as
if the turkey mother was doing the
job herself.
BY the time the turkey hen gets
brcody a second time after being con
fined and fed, she will have become
quite tame, and can be set in some
safe place, where wild animals, rats,
etc, can not trouble her.
Every morning when she is setting
go and feed her with corn meal wet
with hot water, and put a pan of clean
water handy.
When she matches have rain-prOof
coop, somewhere near a tree or clump
of shrubbery to provide shelter from
the hot sun. The hens which Matched
turkeys should be fed and cared for
five times daily for about three weeks
Never feed them under the coops, but
spread the food on "a clean board near
enough ITO the coop, so that the mother
can reach through and eat with her
little ones
The first meal should be given after
"A hours, and should consist of corn

Anthony Comstock at a luncheon In
New York, said of certain tabooed
books anu plays:
The motive of these works was per-
haps all right. But the expression, the
form, was bad. And that spoiled the
motive completely.
Expression. form, you know, is
everything. Consider how the lack OF
it spoiled the mason's speech.
"A mason at memorial service said
OF bricklayer who had been acct
dentally killed:
Yes, gents, l looked out once on
the beauties Of nature, and all was
cam. Our friend deceased here was
layin' brick. looked out once again,
and still all was cam, but our friend
deceased here was no more. He was

His French Net Perfect

Cyril Maude tells the following
story about his old friend W. S. Pen
ley: Penley was stopping at a coCn-
try house in Brittany, and the morning
after his arrival, finding no looking
glass in his room, rang the bell "Ap-
portez-moi I'm cheval,' he said to the
maid who answered it. The maid
choking with laughter, ran down to
her master. Monsieur" she cried,
your friend who arrived last night is
mad. He has nothing on but his
dressing gown, and he has asked me
to bring him a horse." The host ran
up and asked Penley what on earth
he wanted a "cheVaT' for Well y
was Penleys reply, we talk of cheval
glass at home, don't we? l thought
'cheval was the French word for mir
ror"

This may be carrying it pretty far;
but there can be no doubt that it takes
good food to produce good eggs. And
that is the kind you would like if you
were buying, isn't it? Of course.

place and think how he looks at it.
Then never feed old, decayed bad

Sarah Bernhardt Solved Problem.

A new story is being told of Sarah
Bernhard.
At the great actress theater in
Paris where a new play is being re-
hearsed, difficulty arose over a scene
in which one of the characters makes
a purchase of eggs. The problem lay
in the correct method Of wrapping
them up.
Sarah Bernhard decided to settle
the question by practical experience
Ordering her chauffeur to stop at a
dairy in the Rue St. Denis, she walked
into the shop and said: Madame,
want half dozen eggs"
The dairywoman required moment
or two to recover from her astonish-
ment at the sight of this fine lady
Then she took six eggs from a basket,
wrapped them up in bit of old news
paper, and handed them to the actress
The problem was solved-and
