A PERILOUS FEAT.
Il Took Nerves of Steel, a Cool Hsad
and Steady Eye.

Il Took Nerves of Steel, a Cool Hsad
and a Steady Eye.
The cathedral at Salisbury, Eng
land, lifts its spire 404 feet. This
spire is topped by ball, and on the
ball stands a cross. From the
ground the ball looks to be about
the size Of an orange, but in reality
it is greater than mans height.
A distinguished American visiting
Salisbury when a very young man
had curiously weird adventure on
this spire. Workmen were at the
time repairing it. The American
felt desire to climb the spire and
stand on the horizontal beam of the
cross. Accordingly, late in the aft
ernoon, when the workmen had
gone, the young man made his way
up the scaffolding to the ball. Then
came the slightly more difficult
climb to the foot of the cross over
the bullying curve of the ball. A
short platform gave him foothold.
He reached up and put his hands on
the base Of the cross and pulled
himself up. To gain the crossarm
was merely Shining" up a good
sized tree, and soon he stood on the
horizontal timber and, reaching up,
touched the top of the cross.
After enjoying his moment Of tri-
umph he slid to the foot of the cross
and, with his arms around the post,
slipped down over the big bulge of
the ball. His feet touched nothing.
The little plank from which he had
reached up was not there.
Here was a Poe-like situation re-
curing a cool head and steady eye.
He could, Of course, not look down.
The clinging hold that he had to
maintain on the bottom of the cross
shortened the reach of his body and
made it less than when he stood on
the plank and reached up to the
cross with his hands. He must drop
so that his feet should reach the
plank, for he would never be able to
pull himself back if he should let
himself down at arms length, and
his feet hung over empty air.
But this young American had a
good head, which he Immediately |
put to work. He looked up at the
cross and tried to recall exactly the
angle at which he had reached for
it to make his memory tell him just
how the edge Of that square post
had appeared. A few inches to the
right or to the left meant that he
would drop into vacancy. Bending
his head away back, he strained his
eye up the cross and figured his an
gle of approach. He cautiously
wormed himself to the right and
made up his mind that here directly
under his feet must be the plank.
Then he dropped. And he lived to
tell the tale.

POINTS THAT INDICATE
THE GOOD EGG LAYER

1t win pay every one who raises
poultry to spend little time during
the fall and winter marking the lay
ing hens and pullets. One good way
is to buy leg bands. Every two weeks
take time enough to watch the flock,
marking the hens that apparently are
laying. There are several ways of
choosing the layers. Those hens that
are first off the roost in the morning
and the last to go to roost at night;
those that are found to be good feed
ers with full crops at night; those that
are active and looking for feed and
always seem to be busy; those that
are bright eyed and go about singing
are good layers.
Good layers usually have full sized,
red combs that are pllable and inclin-
ed to be slippery. The comb gener-
ally shrinks, becomes hard, light col
ored and rough when laying ceases.
The skin on laying hen is usually
smooth, oily and pliable The laying

Hiah pillows.

"Of all the thousands of patients
I have seen in bed have never met
with one who arranged his pillows
hygienically," said an eminent doc
tor.
aAll too high, far too high. High
pillows curve the spine, bend the
neck and thus prevent the free cir
culation Of blood in the brain. You
can never get the full value out Of
a nights sleep unless you fix your
pillow so low that the head and neck
are just on a level line with the

hen has large abdomen, a wide pelvic
arch and good depth from keel to pei
Wis. Broken down and sick hens also
sometimes show this latter Characters
tic. Laying hens usually have rather
loose bowels, but this is largely due to
the ration. A hen inclined to be con-
stipated is not getting a good laying
ration.

BY HAYWOOD BROUN

"Such Is Life" is heavy as a jade's
paint and as pitiful. Harsh words are
out Of place in dealing with the smirk-
ing farce which was produced at the
Princess Theatre on Saturday night
Its fripperics will tempt no one, for
tho play is wrapped in a cloak Of stu
piditv more ample than any mantle Of
innocence. Indeed, so ample rs the
cloak that il enmeshes players as well
as play, and several capable performers
seem dull and inept.
Consistency is the sole virtue of
Harold Owens farce. Nobody can put
his finger on any particular act or line
and say this is worse than another
Perhaps the whole affair is work for
feet rather than fingers.
The play concerns the doubts of
husband who fears triangle and a
lover who breads ouadriiateral. In
the end tho lover finds that his sus
picions have been groundless. Wit
might swing the idea. but there is no
wit nor is there even the pace by means
of which shoddy humor may sometimes
be foisted upon an audience. All the
talk is dialogue Of two dimensions.
One is lulled by its length and startled
by its broadness.
Sam Sothern plays the lover, and
this talented actor. who did so well in
"A Pair Of Silk Stockings" cannot over
come the handicaps with which the au-
thor has burdened him. 1t is difficult
10 make p midd Gagged philandcrer al
tractive, and author and actor have not
done so. Ferdinand Gottschalk applies
his familiar methods and finds them Of
no use in his character as tho husband.
Mr.. Gottschalk is a point by point &C
tor Of school no longer in high favor,
and his plight is sore indeed when
there are no points.
The other parts Of importance are
taken BY Ann eavcr and Cathlcen
