Do Poultry Feel the cosmlo uru.a

All animals, hens included, have pc
culiarities, and to obtain the best re-
suits in working with them we must
take this fact into consideration. Not
only is 1t true that each class Of ami
mails has its peculiarities, but indi-
viduals In the same class have their
distinctive traits. To illustrate this,
take for example two horses. One Is
a heavy work horse, and when you
speak to him 1t is quite while before
he obeys. Yet he may be as willing
and obedient as the other horse which
is of driving stock and quick in its
thoughts and actions. In fact, it Is
wrong to both to drive such horses to-
gether.-Farm and Fireside.

A man struck with any degree Of
force upon the mental area of the Jaw,
although he may be in perfect physical
condition, instantly collapses and falls
to the ground says a medical journal.
The attitude assumed in recovery,
which may be instantaneous or delayed
some minutes, is most characteristic.
He squirms about, raises his head and
rolls his eyes in an attempt to locate
himself. He tries to get on his side
and elbow he endeavors to rise upon
his hands and knees If he regains his
feet he staggers like a drunken man.
The blow is practically never fatal; the
hearts action is never unduly acceler-
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
NAL; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache, no sweats, no cold extremi-
ties, no pallor-none Of the ordinary
signs Of shock or conclusion.

ABOUT THE BIRD
OF THANKSGIVING

TIME bronze turkey, that variety
which today holds the place Of
honor in the North American
group Of turkeys, is outdone by
none when it comes to beauty or size.
Black, beautifully shaded with rich
bronze, the breast plumage being dark
bronze Illuminated with a lustrous fin
ish of coppery gold, gives full warrant
for the name by which this bird is
known.
The full grown, healthy bird is a
beautiful picture of bronze, black, cop
per and gold and sometimes weighs
forty or more pounds Other varieties
known in the barnyard and even rec
ognized among dealers as having dis
tinctive markings are in reality only
highly developed fowls with preserved
peculiarities. Under this classification
comes the white turkey.
In the United States there are six
standard varieties recognized and
grown. These are the bronze, Nara
gansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The chief differences are in size and
color Of plumage.
The bronze and Narragansett are the
largest, the buff and slate medium.
while the white and black are the
smallest. Within late years, however,
the white variety has reached such
point of popularity that it has increas-
ed In size until with some dealers it
occupies third place.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
ed through failing to secure that place
Of honor suggested for it by BENJAMIN
Franklin-as the national bird-it has
nevertheless found a place in the re-
gard of the American people which is
held by no other fowl
Time was when turkey, or as many
as could be carried, might be had al
most for asking Then came the period
when 30 cents would buy a plump
young fowl. Even so short a time as
ten years ago turkeys could be pur-
chased for from 8 to 20 cents a pound,
dressed.
Some interesting figures were at one
time compiled by the department of
agriculture in connection with the tur-
key. In 1896 the census showed the
turkey population in the United States
to be 100000. Four years later the
department found there were but $780,.
OOO Such discrepancy needed inves-
tigation. 1t was made, and the answer
was soon Forthcoming.
In the year 1896 the breeders had lit
orally counted their eggs before they
were Matched, and the consequent total
included all poults, eggs in the nest and
birds expected as well as the grown
turkeys. With the latter figure only
birds of three months or more were
included. That figure, therefore, is the
true estimate of the average annual
turkey supply at that time, while today
the supply has increased with the ris-
ing demand each year.
But even with the increase that has
come WITH the passing years the sup
ply is not sufficient or the price low
enough for every person in this coun-
try to include it In the list of Thanks
giving features. And so the picture
which Gray painted cannot hold true.
He wrote, From the low peasant to-
the lord, the turkey smokes on every
board. New York Sun.

BAePIPEs AND BRICKS.
One Case In Which Music Did Not De
the Soothing Act.

One Case In winch MUSIC Did Not Dc
the Soothing Act.
The Adelphia buildings In the Strand,
London, were built by two brothers of
the family name of Adam, and from
this fraternal union came the name
that was given to the buildings, the
Greek appelIation of "Adelphi' or "the
brothers,"
These brothers were Scots and in
the erection Of the buildings desired to
employ their own countrymen. So
they sent to the "Land O. Cakes and
Brither Scots" for laborers to do the
work.
The story goes that after they arriv-
ed and were set at work they proved
less active and energetic than was
profitable to the employers, to whom
a bright idea finally came. They act
ed upon this idea and brought to Lon
don from the north country a number
Of bagpipers to encourage the toilers.
At first all went well. When the
bricklayers heard 20 Hone a Rie,"
and the "MacGregors' Gathering" they
worked rapidly. Unluckily one day
one of pipers under the influence Of
London gin gave the snap away" by
admitting that he and his fellow bag
pipers had been bribed to play In
quicker time.
Following this exposure of foul play
the men from the north put down
their tools and found employment else
where.-Indianapoli News.

Love Affairs Of Handel.

Women greatly admired Handel, who
was very handsome, but the serenity
Of the composer seems only to have
been ruf1ed twice by love on his part.
His first attachment was to London
girl, member Of the aristocracy. Her
parents believed him beneath her In
social position, but We're good enough
to say that If he abstained from writ
ing any more music the question of
marriage might be entertained 1t was
easier to abstain from their daughter
than from his art, andshe did so. Years
after almost the same thing occurred.
Handel and another beautiful pupil of
his fell in love with each other, and
proud parents gave him the choice be-
tween giving up his profession or their
daughter. Music, heavenly maid"
was chosen.-"The Love Affairs of
Some Famous Men"

PERSIAN DIPLOMACY.
A"t Much Was Said, but the Prince
Understood the Shah.

~ "uOh was SAID, but the Prince
Understood the Shah.
Ihere were great variety and charm
In the society of Kissingen. writes
Princess Lazarovich in her account OF
a holiday on the continent. There
were people from the four corners of
Europe, America and the orient, each
having distinct personality that
brought vivid suggestions of his orr
gin.
Prince Malkolm was the diplomatic
representative of Persia for all En-
rope, being accredited at the same
time to London, Petrograd and Rome.
His wife, beautiful Armenian prin-
cess, Christian, was one of my dear
~ priced friends in London. Prince
Malkolm told us one day of how he
came to be a Persian diplomatic rep
resentative. He was relative Of the
shah, had been educated In several
countries In Europe and had become
interested In the Christian religion as
the root force Of western civilization.
Prince Malkolm told US how he stud
led and pondered long to hit upon
some means of bringing Christian prin-
ciples to Persians In forms that they
would understand, making Christian
tty the fulfllment of old Mithraic and
zoroastrian conceptions. Having form
ed plan, he returned to Persia and
began to talk to his countrymen and
put before them the ideas that he be-
heyed would raise up the fallen ma
ton. The people everywhere listened
to him eagerly and followed him
about In throngs. Some of them be-
gan to proclaim him prophet and al
most worshiped his person. He tried
In every way to combat that tendency.
In which he saw the speedy and com
plete wreck of his dearest hopes.
One day the shah sent for him and
said:
my cousin, you are much followed
about here. You are exerting yourself
too much You need rest, Would you
like to go as my ambassador to Eu-
rope-and stay there many years?"
Then Prince Malkolm added:
Il knew what he meant. So with
my heart falling like a stone l answer
ed, Yes, your majesty, accept On
that day started on my Journey
westward. And all these years I have
been virtually European"
But what did the shah really
mean?" l asked.
Prince Malkolm grinned, showing
his white teeth, and with a queer CUR
gle made the sign of knife drawn
across his throat.

Force Of Rain in the Desert.

The following description of rain on
the desert is given by writer in Farm
and Fireside: "In desert lands when
1t does rain" he says, 1T may come
with much more force than anywhere
else. In less than no time the whole
mountain side was a sheet of water run
ming swiftly down. Soon a great tor.
rent began to pour under the rock
where we were taking shelter, under
mining 1t and threatening to throw it
down. We emerged from there and
made hurried run to another hiding
place, more secure. Then came hail,
and hailstones fell in such fury and of
such incredible size that thought they
would kill old Barney, who stood ex-
posed to their fearful peltings. In
little while the storm had passed away
and the water soon ceased to come
down the steep mountainside, and we
went on our way, leading our horse"

RIoodhound Not Fierce.

No real reason exists for the CON-
mon belief that the bloodhound is
fierce animal, ready to tear the per-
son whom.it may be tracking to pieces.
1t is, on the contrary, rather noted for
its gentleness, even seeming timid, I'M
less specially trained to attack. The
origin of the breed, according to
Count LIE CoUteulx de Canteleu, an au-
thority on the subject, is from st.
Hubert of st. Hubert's abbey in the
Ardennes. 1t dates from the earliest
nges, and the breed certainly existed
In the time of the Gauls.

Fort Guards Americas Cradle.

In no territory of like extent in the
United States is more historical In
terest gathered than in that which
borders Hampton Roads Here was
planted the first English colony In
America; here was held the FIRST
gathering of the peoples representa-
tives to make their own laws; here
were erected the first Notifications
in the English-speaking New World;
here were fought the land battle that
terminated Americas war of independ-
ence and the naval battle that revolu-
tionized the warfare of the sea. The
srst Notifications where Fort Monroe
now stands were built 305 years ago,
in 1911. Since that time, with short
lapses. there has been some sort of

 After six very interesting games of 800 Mrs. Sam Taylor White, Jr., was found to be the winner of beautiful bottle of toilet water, awarded for her brilliant playing. Miss Mae Duke cut high for the booby-a manicure set consisting of a file, orange stick and sandpaper, also a package of the famous Cen-Sen. The guest of honor also received a bottle of toilet water.
 The hostess, assisted by Miss Ruth Gordon, then laid covers for very pretty red and yellow plate luncheon consisting of fruit salad in orange baskets, sandwiches, stuffed dates and red lemonade. The guests left at twelve o'clock very grateful to Miss Scott for a most pleasant morning.
