the use of chewing gum" He cites
the example of condensed milk. The
Chinese were once strangers to con-
densed milk. Now they like it. There
fore, the conclusion is apparent.
Chewing gum promotion must be done
with wisdom and care, however. The
advertising must be in Chinese char
acters. Furthermore, the illustrations
must please, not the Occidental, but
the Oriental. Under another date Mr..
Arnold has this to say: 1T has come
to my attention in travelling about
China that the demand for American
playing cards is on the increase. In
Shanghai, for instance, the Chinese
are showing preference for western
playing cards over their own so-called
sparrow cards. The popularity OF
the foreign cards could be greatly in
creased by the addition of Chinese
numerals and the Chinese characters
for king, queen, jack. The Chinese
are fond of snowy cards, hence those
with pictured backs would be the
most popular, especially if the backs
were designed in Chinese fashion,
With American chewing gum and
American playing cards well estab
lished in China the process of promot
ing culture will become much easier.

The grain that Is given to them
should be scattered through straw on
the floor of the house. It's a great
sight to watch a flock of healthy hens
make the straw fly when they want a
meal. Many poultrymen make the
floor of lime because they say that
the concrete wears the claws of the
hens.
Burned lime is placed over the
ground several inches deep and is
packed down hard. Sufficient water
Is then put on the lime to Stake it
properly so that it will form a pasty
mortar, which is then allowed to dry
and harden. This sort of a floor is
very satisfactory and also furnishes
lime to aid in the making of egg
shells. A floor like this becomes worn
in spots and has to be renewed at
times, but it is very easy to place
lime in the depressions that are worn
by the hens, and put a little water
on it.
The chicken house should always
face toward the south, and the north
and west sides should be carefully
closed. Chickens have very little
body heat, so the house must be care
fully protected against the cold. Ven
tilation cannot be handled in the same
way it is in stock barns. Thin cotton
Is stretched over the windows facing
the south, and this provides good ven-
tilation without causing any drafts,
which are very dangerous to poultry.
Very little headroom is needed by
chickens, so the back of this house is
only made 5 feet 10 inches high,
while the front is 7 feet 10 inches. A
small place such as this can be kept
warm by the poultry.
Poultry houses are often neglected
In regard to appearances. There is
no particular reason for this except
that the building is small and people
think that it will not make any differ
ence. The necessary paint tn make
a nice-looking chicken house can be
had for very little money and it can
be applied easily in a short time.
The walls are generally made Of
drop siding and the inner walls car
be made in several ways. One of the
best is with wall board. Wall board

Famous Crown Of Lombardy.

Italy declared war on the same day
of May hat Napoleon in 1905 was
crowned king of Italy at Milan, and
with his own hands placed the ancient
iron crown of Lombardy ON his head.
This most famous crown of Europe is
so called from a narrow band of iron
miraculously preserved from rust at
tached to the inner circumference of
the circlet. 1t is composed Of jewels
and embossed gold, the workmanship
of which bears strange resemblance
to that on the enameled gold orna.
ment belonging to King Alfred of
England, now preserved in the Ash
mclean Museum at Oxford.
The Penn's Grove record., 1915-10-08

It makes a smooth, tight wall that can
be readily painted with whitewash or
crude oil and there are no hooks and
corners to harbor the vermin that al
ways get into the chicken house mor
or less. The walls can also be cov-
cred with matched ceiling which villa
give a smooth surface that can be
easily painted.
The roof can be made of sheathingr
which is covered with prepared roof
ing. The inside wall is made Of wall
board or of matched ceiling the same
as the walls.
The roosts are placed in the back
part of the house under the roof and
are fastened to the droppings board
that is placed underneath them. The
nests are fastened underneath the
droppings board and all the furniture
can thus be moved out together when
the chicken house is to be cleaned.
The darkness that the hens require
for laying is furnished by placing the
nests under the droppings board. The
scratching floor is at the front of the
house, SO that it will get plenty of
sunshine.
One end of this poultry house is
given over to a feed room, where the
future meals of the chickens can be
kept. This is a handy arrangement

Aurora RoreaIis.

Many people believe that the aurora
borealis IS a phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this is not true.
The ancients used to call it chasmata,
bolides and TRADES, anne which ex-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora vas looked
on by the superstitious barbarians
as an omen of direful slaughter; sc 1t
is not unsual for descriptions Of
bloody battles to contain illusions to
northern lights. In the annals of
Cloon-mac-noise it is recorded that in
6S8 A. D., accompanying a terrible bat
tie between Leinster and Munster, Ire
land, a purple aurora lit the northern
skies, forete.ling the slaughter.

Whoever devised the Mutual Ton
tine found ready soil for planting their
policies in and about Ruddendale. At
the end of thirty years most of the
investors in the scheme were plant
ed" themselves, as the phrase went,
and finally there were only two sur
yiyors-Adam Warner and Ezra Moss.
Here was the scheme: One hun
dred subjects were taken at one hun
dred dollars each. The surviving
members of the syndicate, as it might
be called, when fifty hac died, were to
receive six per cent on their invest
ment annually up to their death. The
heirs of the final survivor were to re-
ceive the amount in the pool at his
demise.
All this figured out a liberal COM
mission for the agent or trustee and
for the bank where the funds were de-
posted. After thirty years all but two
members of the original group were
dead. 1t was then estimated that
the amount the final survivor would
receive would be approximately sixty
five thousand dollars.
But Adam Warner and Ezra Moss
seemed to have no disposition to die.
It was true that both were now over
eighty and were not able to go about
much. Warmers heir was a grandson,
Cyril Warner, in the navy. All the
rest of his relatives had died off. The
heir or rather heiresses of Ezra
Moss were his widowed daughter,
Mrs. Newell, and her only child,
twenty and charming, Marcia.
Mrs. Newell was sordid. She hoped
to receive the opulent fund at stake.
Mr.. Moss had no income except six
dollars a year. nothing but his con-
tingent dependency. Mrs. Newell did
sewing and Marcia taught school. The
returns barely kept the household
wheels moving. Again, in her anxiety
to do all that "a possible for the
health and comfort of her father, Mrs.
Newell spared nc expense, which was
a serious drain on their limited reve-
nue..

to Commerce Reports of the oppor-
tunities which China presents to the

sumption of chewing gum in China is
at present negligible it would seem
that this republic offers a splendid

American chewing gum. The Chinese
people are fond of sweets, and, 1 be-
