20 Out of 1900 Stage Struck Girls
 Make Good.

William A. Page, the Chicago critic and publicity writer, says in the sep tember Woman's Home Companion in an article about stage-striek women; And what becomes of thenl., Caught in the eddies of frivolity, many or them temporarily abandon their stage ambitions in the kaleidoscopic life Of
 Broadway. Others live in hall bed- rooms, boil eggs over a gas jet, and waste their young lives in the fruitless pursuit of rainbow which they never find, only sooner or later to return home sadly, and settle down to forget their stage ambitions. Others study, economize, sincerely strive for engage ments, possibly get small roles with
 some, obscure company, and start in on career which will be filled with many, many disappointments. And of the thousands who came so braVely to the front last year, how many still remain in the lists? Not counting compedy, perhaps score still cherish the shrine of Marlowe and of Adams. For the rest, oblivion"
 1 This Man Teaches That Courtesy Pays | In the September American Maga- zine a writer tells about David Gibson, who is called the original courtesy man. MT. Gibson has done more than any other individual towards teaching railroads and other great corporations the importance of courtesy. MT. Gib- sons resolution is:
 Resolved: That we all cease trying
 to get something for nothing-graft ing, in other words; that we all do just a little more than we agree to do. rather than just a little less. That honesty is a question of efficiency here on earth, with it's rewards in profits now, here on earth. That fear is the root of all evil; for if our neighbor cheats us in his store it is to fortify
 himself against some element out of
 his store. That the basis of all life is
 business life; that business is the sys- tenn by which we supply our wants
 and needs; that we are true to polit- ica1 life, true to social life, as we are
 true to business life. That we think
 of others as we would have them think
 of us: that we do as we think, the
 thought precedes the act; that coop
 eration is the real brotherhood of man;
 that the prosperity of one man does
 not require the poverty of another
 man; that both the idle man and the
 dishonest man, whether they be pos
 sessed of little or much, are fools in themcelves and abominations to their communities"

HARVESTING PEARS.

Pears are the one fruit which should be picked before it is ripe and mellow. If allowed to ripen on the tree they will often be coarse grained, gritty and mealy, and inclined to rot at the core. The fruit should not be picked until 1t is full size and well colored, but should be still hard and fran. There are two methods of telling when pears are ready to be picked. CD By cutting few speciments and noting the color of the seeds, dark color in- dicating maturity. a(23 By taking tho fruit in the palm of the Hand and gently lifting it up If 1t separates from the sfruit spur easily it is ready to harvest

 After irritation has set in, liberal applications of strong solutions of am mcnia, common baking soda or sal teratus are recommended by R. D. Whitmarsh, assistant entomologist at the Ohio Experiment Station. A di lute solution of iodine or collodion has also been found effective in many cases.

GROWING GRAPES IN NEW ENG
 LAND.

Grapes will grow in a variety of soils but sandy hil1sides make the kind of vineyard preferred by Good win Brothers of Kennebecl1 County, Maine. Locations favorable to frosts are stunned. Foster Damon, another grape specialist, believes in cultiva- ton, as to any crop, turning it in with the cultivator. After the blossoms fall another fertilization is practiced unless the vegetation is too luxuriant. The quality of the grapes, the appear ance of the package and the reputa- tion of the grower are important in marketing according to Mir. Damon.

EGG LAYERS HAVE
 TOUCHED LAST YEARS RECORD
From Now On the Production Will
 Be Clean Gain.

At the close of the forty seventh
 week of the laying contest at Storrs
 the total production for all pens was
 152,S94 eggs or 10S6 more than for the full hfty-two weeks last year; thus
 all the eggs produced from now on
 will be a clear gain over last years total, 7106 being necessary to bring
 the average yield up to 160. The to- tai production for the week was 27oS which was 251 eggs less than for the proceeding week. Rock Rose Farms s pen of Barred Rocks from Katonah N. Y-, won first place for the week with a production of 51 eggs. J. E. Watson's White Wyandottes from Marbledale, Conn.,, were second with
 49 eggs, followed by Dr. N. w. San born's Buff Wyandottes from Holden,
 Mass, with a score of 4S eggs. A. E. Halls White Leghorns from Walling- ford, Conn, tied with the Agricultural
 College pen of "Oregons" from Cor wallis, Ore, with a production of AT eggs for the week.
 It is interesting to note that it is the heavy breeds that are keepng up
 the production during the home
 stretch. Out. of the thirty eight pens l of Leghorns there were eleven which
 while from the fifty-f1ve pens of Rocks, Reds. and Wyandottes, twenty three pens laid more than 30 eggs for the week.
 Fifteen hens out of the entire con- test made perfect scores for the week and only three of these were Leg horns.
 A point of unusual intrest in the egg market last week was drop of one cent in average quotation of fancy The marketmen generally ascribe this 1 indirectly to the threatened railroad l strike. The fact that many railroads i placed e1nbargoes on western eggs | held Up shipments for a few days, and 1 when these embargoes were removed I the consequent rush of eggs to the New York market resulted in a sup 1 ply greater than the demand, causing slight falling off in price. | The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows: 1 Pen.
