XMAS speech Criticized.

Perhaps the most candid criticism
Of kings speech" was one uttered
by king himself There is that story
of George Ill. who. leaving the lords
after opening parliament. turned to
his lord chancellor with the remark:
Lord chancellor. did | deliver the
speech well?"
Very well indeed. sir" was the re-
ply.
Il am glad of that" said the king,
for ther, was nothing in It."
George II. too, did not always feel
himself bound to praise his ministers
efforts. In 1856, for instance. when a
spurious speech was circulated. he
pleaded for mercy for the printers Of
It, because, he said. he had compared
the spurious with the real, and, SO far
as he could understand either. he ''in
finitely preferred the former to his
own"

NOT LOOKING FOR ANY MORE
Youngsters Supply Of Oysters on
Hand More Than Sufficient to
Meet the Demand.

A youngster whose parents had
taken him for the first time from his
inland home to the seashore became
interested in oysters. One day they
were served at table, on the half-shell,
aud he asked:
Mother, what are those?"
"Oysters, dear. Raw oysters"
Can you eat them-like that?"
"Oh, yes"
Can | have one?"
why. yes, If you want it."
He put the slippery thing into his
mouth. but retained 1t there for ex-
perimentation. The attention of the
company meanwhile was attracted
elsewhere, and when finally the
mother turned again to her son his
face had undergone a change.
Would you like another oyster,
dear?" she asked him.
For several seconds there was no
reply. There seemed some difficulty
of speech, and only after a struggle

OVERFED AND UNDERFED HEN
Best Plan for Feeding Is 20 Watch the
Flock Carefully and See That All
Are Satisfied

II is not possible to lay down hard
and fast rules for feeding. because OF
the fact that different hens require
different quantities. The best plan is
TO watch the flock carefully when feed
ing to see that every hen gets her
share. The man who raises the feed
for his fowls Is tie one who is likely
to overfeed them, while the one who
buys his feed is likely to err in the
opposite direction. The only way one
can manage with any degree OF Ger,
tainty is to try different quantities OF
food on the flock for a period long
enough to note results. 1t will pay
to weigh the hens in order to get ac.
curate results. When the proper al.
lowance seems to have been reached,
feed accordingly and do not change
unless necessary.

RAISE SQUADS FOR MARKET
First Essential Is to Have Suitable
House and Yard to Confine Birds
Enforce Cleanliness.

The keeping OF pigeons has become
regular business in some sections,
compared with ten years ago, and a
great deal of interest Is now being
taken In the pigeon as a source OF
profit The first essential is to have
good house and yard. and to have the
yard wired, in order to confine the
birds. The house should be arranged
to permit of abundant 6oor room, the
nests to be along the sides. The
homer pigeon Is largely used, an ex'
cellent mating being the dragoon and
homer. Be sure that the sexes are
equal, as pigeons pair and keep the
same nests. Mice in the nests must
be guarded against, and lice will de.
stroy all profit. Give nesting ma
terials for the birds, and include to-
bacco leaves, which will assist In
keeping lice away. Fresh insect pow
der should be freely used in the
nests on the first indication of lice,
and cleanliness must be enforced
The yard should be at least ten feet
high, of any size preferred. and
should have roosting poles at differ
ent heights, on which the birds may
alight. Keep a salt Goldfish hung

SALTING NEW BORN BABIES

An old superstititno is that If a
newborn baby is carefully and
abundantly sailed he win be strong
and hardy when he grows up, and
that moreover evil spirits will never
be able to pursue him. And this Gus
tom is still chung to in various parts
of the world, though the method of
procedure is different with different
peoples.
In certain parts of Russia, especial
ly among some of the Armenian set
Elements, the sailing of an infant is
an occasion of great celebration, an
event in the life of the youngster
which is going to influence the whole
of his life.
The baby is rubbed we'll with fine
salt, which is left on for about five
hours, and during that time songs
are sung, food and drinks partaken
Of and all the relatives and friends
join in the celebration. If this cere.
mony is neglected bad luck is certain
to follow the child even to the last
years of his life.
Mountain tribes of Asia Minor in
dulge in the same belief though with
them the baby is generally left from
thirty to thirty-fve hours in the salt
The longer the duration of time the
better chances for good fortune has
the infant.
