Agents in the Cafe Royal.
The types employed are of the usual
bewildering order. There is the III
clad ex-police official, with his heavily
hat, the scantily paid journalist, well
trained in the uses of blackmail; the
alert restaurant waiter, the sleek hotel
proprietor and chef de reception; a
horde of impecunious government Off
Gals, postmen and telegraphists, the
owners of the cafe chantants and the
women therein, and host of debt
laden officers of all ranks, marshaled
and manipulated by the naval and
military officers detailed-in multi
to keep their country well-informed.
At the tea hour the Cafe Royal is
full of agents. This is one of the
busiest cafes in Europe. All lam
guages are spoken, all countries
catered to. To those with an eye for
signs and an ear for strange tongues,
together with an instinct for the
esoteric, no more fascinating life cen
ter exists. So continuous is the pro-
cession that passes to and from the
entrance that appearance and reap
pearance are virtually unnoticeable.
Every conceivable form of recognition
is adopted.

Cost Of Feed.
According to the New York agri-
culture experiment station, the cost
of food, per chick, to weigh one pound,
on ground grain, is three cents; on
whole grain, three and seven-tenths
cents. After making repeated tests in
feeding, this station says the ground
ration proved considerably more prof

One Of the greatest mistakes 4 poui-
try raiser can make Is to allow SICK
and ailing birds to run with the rest OF
the stock. In this way the sick bird
drinks from the same pan that the 9TH
ers use, and the disease spreads most
rapidly. Chickens with the gapes or
any other trouble will easily transmit
the disease through the medium OF the
drinking-pan. The safest way Is to
take the sick bird out and keep 1t away
from the rest of the stock until 1t has
entirely recovered.
An old farmer who Is now of the
active list, but still lives on the farm
and raises poultry as diversion, says
he visited many of the largest poultry
shows in the country just to inspect
some of the best birds of the new va
rieties, and he declares emphatically
that he has never seen anything better
than the Plymouth Rock and Wyan-

to make a variety, which is greatly
relished by the flock. Milk, either
sweet or sour, is fed to them, all that
they will drink every day. Fresh wa
ter is kept constantly before them. 1t
never pays to compel poultry to drink
impure water and this can easily be
avoided by cleaning their drinking YES
sells each day. Success in getting eggs
in winter Is due to keeping the flock
healthy and in a good thrifty condi-
ton. The poultry house and yards are
kept in a sanitary condition, as this is
the first requisite of successful poultry
keeping.

table than the whole-grain ration with
the growing chicks; and the same is
true of capons of equal weight from
these chicks, and from others of equal
weight and age, fed alike before ca
ponizing. No difference was noticed
in health or vigor of chicks or capons
fed either ration.
Glover hay, or clover clippings dried,
or green clover growing on the lawn
or in the field is great help to egg
production for two reasons: 1t fur
nishes the green food necessary for the
fowl and it furnishes the nitrogen that
goes to make the albumen, which is a
large part Of every egg. If a hen is
fed corn all the time, from what source
is she to get the material for making
the large amount of albumen that must
be elaborated by her? The corn in
deed supplies small amount of this
material, but clover hay is worth much
more for this purpose, pound for
pound.

EAnIutinn Of the Collar.

1t is interesting to trace the evolu-
ton of the modern collar from those
ancient ruffs that filled all the space
between chin and chest with mass
of white ruffies. In the seventeenth
century the rufus gave place to the
wide collar of lace or plain linen that
rolled ont over the coat. Under King
James II, in the seventeenth century,
the coat, which had been for hun
bred years evolving from the loose
tunic, became well established, but 1t
was much longer than that worn to-
day and was buttoned down the front
to the knees, and along with this coat
came into fashion the large cravat with
laced ends. The frilled shirt front
and the white cravat tied in great
bow at the chin. followed. This gave
way. early in the last century, to the
shirt with rolling collar attached.
