WINTER FEED FOR FOWLS.

An ample as we'll as a varied supply
of green feed to hens during the win
ter is important for the health Of the
fowls Is value does not lie in the
amount Of nutriment it contains. but
as an agent in digestion. Fowls eat
more when fed green food than other
wise. Vegetables induce increased eat
ing. hence increased egg production.
Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls. and they should
be fed at regular intervals !, Mangels
are easy to raise and keep well. Cab
bage is a good food; the hens like it.
and it does not flavor the egg. Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for
fowls when grown right. stored and
cooked. Rape Is an excellent green
food to plant in the runs. Potatoes
are good only when boiled. AS a rule.
they are too expensive to feed to poul.
try. Onions. when they can be had.
are an excellent feed and. like let
tuce, are excellent for chicks. Silage
may be used, provided that only a
small quantity is fed at first until the
hens become thoroughly accustomed
to it.

Method Of Guarding Store Windows
From Shock Of Blasting.
In excavating for the new subway
running up Lexington avenue, New
York, a large quantity of rock has had
to be blasted, says the Scientific Amer
lean. The shock of the dynamite ex-
plosions has worked havoc with plate
glass store windows along the line,
and the contractors have found it nee
cessary to reinforce the windows.
This has been done in very effec-
tive way By the use Of wooden sup
ports on each side of the glass. which
serve as spreaders for wires that run
across the glass to opposite sides of
the window frame. The spreaders
consist of wooden crosses with a short
mast or pin projecting from the june
ton of the cross TO provide good
bearing on the glass each arm of the
cross is shod with Il strip of rubber.
Usually four of the wooden crosses are
used on window. but the Humber
and position DEPEND upon the size Of
the pane When the wires are stretch
ed across. both inside and outside Of
the window. they convert the window
pane into truss which is greatly
strengthened against the explosion
waves.

While the greater part of the time of
Congress at the present session is to be
taken up with the consideration of APP
preparation bills, the banking and cur
rency committee, of which Congress-
man Brown is second man in rank after
the chairman, expects to get some ac-
ton on the subject of rural credits, for
the relief of the farmer. Mr.. Brown
tried hard at the last session to have
the subject considered, but the men,
bers were so worn out with the heat
and the work of a long session that the
whole matter was deferred. The mat
Ter probably will be taken up at this
session and if not it surely will have
considerationNby the -.gress.
Mr.. Brown will be next to the chair
man of that committee in the next
House and he will insist upon the mat
ter being taken up then, if it is not con-
sidered before. The matter of making
it easier for the farmer to borrow
money for crop raising and marketing
purposes is hobby with him and if he
able to accomplish it something along
this line will be accomplished soon.

TWO SIDES TO MANS NATURE
Such Was voltaire's Explanation Of
fragrant Contradiction So Free
quently Noticed.


Voltaire, a precursor of the French
Revolution, asked why the same man.
who has seen with dry eye the most
atrocious events, and even committed
crimes with sangfroid, will weep at
the theater at the representation OF
similar events and crimes? 1t is, that
he sees them not with the same eyes /;
he sees them with those of the author
and the actor He is no longer the
same man; he was barbarous, he was
agitated with furious passions, when
he saw an innocent woman killed,
when he stained himself with the
blood of his friend; he became a man
again at the representation of it."
The question Is much more interest
ing than the answer, which is truly
theatrical Perhaps there Isn't an ex-
PLANTATION. Carlyle does not explain,
but states the fact that Robespierre
Of the Terror refused to take part in
"a legal proceeding that might have
resulted in capital punishment
NJ. Anatole France, Socialist, has
said that danger in loving your fell
lowmen is that it is likely to inspire
disposition to kill your fellowmen.
That may explain Robespierre. But
the explanation remains unexplained.

Hidden Secrets of Disease.

Although measles and chickenpox
are about the most common diseases
in every household, their germs have
eluded the most elaborate attempts at
detection. Back in the eighteenth
century Jenner conquered smallpox
with vaccination; but the most indus
trious search for 80 years has dis
closed no trace of the smallpox mi
crobe. Medical men deal with an I'M
known agent today, just as Jenner did
100 years ago.
Reed and Carroll showed how to
conquer yellow fever; no enc, how
ever, has succeeded in imprisoning
any micro-organism of the disease.
Scarlet fever, one of the most con-
tagious diseases known, has also sue
cessfully hidden its secret. Pasteur,
who discovered a way to control
hydrophobia, searched patiently for
its organism, but did not find it.
Typhus fever, the scourge of Amer
lean cities so years ago, still prevails
in attenuated form; but no one has
isolated its agent. Trachoma a dis
ease introduced chiefly by immigra-
ton, has also so far concealed its def
mite cause.

LIFELIXE FIGURES IN WAX
WsIi-Made Dummy 10. Mistaken for
sculptor's Wife by Visitor
Boys Comlcal Error.

YES" said a man who turns out
waxwork figures for exhibitors and
travelling shows, "the average sculp-
tor In wax can relate many little tales
to make you smile. Not long ago I
made wax figure of beautiful
young lady for a vaudeville actor for
use upon the stage. So long as the
face was handsome and the figure per-
feet, he did not mind whether she was
dark or fair, and told me to turn her
out to my own satisfaction.
"On the day I completed the figure
I was called away on important bust
ness, and during my absence the ar
tiste called. He was shown into my
studio by my assist t, and, seeing
the wax figure seated an ottoman,
he said, Good evening, Mrs. Blank!'
mistaking it for my wife, whom he
had never seen. AS his greeting was
not reciprocated. he turned to my as
sistant and remarked, Poor, Mrs.
Blank! / had no idea she was deaf
and dumb! What an awful affiiction!
When he was told that the lady was
of wax, and the figure he had ordered,
his surprise knew no bounds.
"a little boy who visited wax.
work show l ran once came to the
conclusion that everybody on seats
who did not speak was a wax figure.
He stared at an aged lady, who was
seated, for several minutes, and then
blurted out, What an ugly old thing.
He was greatly distressed when the
lady rose, called him rude boy, and
walked away in high dudgeon."

The Twentieth Week Of War.

No material change appears in the sit
uation as the.twentieth week of the war
in Europe opens. The armies occupy
relatively the same positions as they did
a week ago. though on the eastern front
the conditions seem be somewhat
more favorable for the Russians than
then. The German advance, following
the extrication.ot Won Hindenberg's ar
my from the Russian trap, which failed
because of the hardness of Renuen.
kampf. for time directly menaced
Warsaw. and the Germans appeared
likely toSacheve distinct success in the
taking Of that city, following the Rus
sian Eevacuation Of Lodz, But once
more the Russians have rallied and
swung their lines, until at latest accounts
they have succeeded in checking the
Teutonic sweep eastward.
Perhaps the most surprising report of
tue week was that to the effect that the
apparently beaten Servian army had re.
turned to the aggressive aud delivered a
heavy blowaon the Austrian flank. Even
Vienna admitted the repulse, 10 Ian.
gua2e winch concealed the gravity oil
the setback, but acknowledged the re-
verse. Since then reports of the pres
ence of Russian troops in the Servian
ranks are renewed. Dispatches from
Mesh state that the Serv:ans have retak
en- Belgrade.
On the western front there has beer
no change of moment. The line thai
stretches from the North Sea to the
foothills. of i. the Alps remains intact
German attacks have been reported
from Paris and London AS having beer
repulsed, and allied attacks have beer
declared by Berlin to have failed. Mel.
Their side has seemingly made any head
way of material advantage, though per
haps the trend ofthe weeks reports havs
been somewhat favorable to the allie:
ia the indication of steady, If slight
gains. There is as yet no sign that the
often predicted general advance to take
advantage of the!heavy concentration OF
German troops on the east front ha:
begun.
The fact of greatest moment during
the week has been the destruction by a
British fleet off the Falkland Islan1s oil
four German cruisers and the apparent
cornering of fifth. together with the
capture of two German golfers. This
naval victory for England practically
eliminates the effective German sea
power and frees the navigation of the
allied nations from interference.
The twentieth week opens with the
position of Italy remaining doubtful, fol
although at the recent session of the
parliament at Rome it was announced
that Italy would continue neutral. it Is
generally expected in Europ, that
eventually that power must enter the
war field.

Should hotel keepers be held re-
