Eaa-Laylna Contests.

There Is sport and profit combined
In the latest contests that are engaging
the attention of certain parts of Eng
land, where farmers and others have
started egg-laying contests to deter
mine what class of chickens are the
best layers and what farmer has the
best egg producers. Four hens are Sc
lected. The test runs from the first Of
October to the first OF February, gen.
erous period of time in the midst OF
winter, when the test has a real mean
ing. There are cash prizes Of generous
amounts and many people are watch
ing the records as they are made pub
lie. With eggs at 50 cents per dozen,
as they are In Columbus, hens that
will work faithfully during the cold
months Of winter are hens worth hav-
ing and the tests might be held here
with as. much of sport and quite as
much Of profit as in England.-Ohio

like Reenie she was And just as he
was beginning to think Mr.. Duncan
must surely have forgotten his lesson
he heard her asking him II she should
sing. And then he saw Forsyth at the
piano-why couldn't he leave her to
do 1t herself, the butt-in land then
he heard her fine, silvery voice rising
in the notes of that song about the
land where the sun should never go
down. And suddenly he knew
how lonely, how terribly, terribly
lonely he was. And he sat with head
bowed, that they might not know. !.
And then there were other songs

slipped away unnoticed, returned with
a silver teapot and cups of delicate
china, and sandwiches and cake, and
they sat about and ate and drank and
talked and laughed. And when he

with Mr.. Duncan at the sidewalk.

"The first thing for you to learn is
that all learning does not come from
books. A good listener can learn as
much as a good reader-if he listens
to the right kind Of people" And as
Dave walked home the thought deep
ened In him that IL really had been a
lesson, and that Mr.. Duncan had in
tended II that way. And he wondered
what remarkable fortune had been his.
The air was full of the perfume of
balm o. Gilead. and his feet were light
with the Joy Of youth. And he thought
much of Edith and Of Reenle Hardy.
In subsequent lessons Dave was rap

greatest emphasis upon learning to
write and 10 write well. They had

CHAPTER v.

The summer was not far gone when
Dave, through an introduction fur.
nished by Mr.. Duncan, got new job.
1t was in the warehouse of a whole
sale grocery, trundling cases and
sacks of merchandise. 1t was cleaner
than handling coal, and the surround
lngs were more congenial and the
wages were better-fifty dollars
month to begin.
"The first thing is to get out of the
deadline," said Mr.. Duncan. II am
not hoping that you will have found
destiny in wholesale warehouse, but
you must get out of the deadline. AS
long as you shovel coal you will shovel
coal. And you are not capable of
anything better until you think you
are"
But I've liked it pretty well,"' said
Dave. "As long as l was just work
ing for my wages 1t was dull going.
but it was different after 1 got to see
that even shoveling coal was worth
while. ] suppose II is the same with
groceries, or whatever one does. AS
soon as you begin to study what you
handle, the work loses its drudgery.
1t isn't a mans job that makes him
sick of his job; it's what he thinks
Of his job"
A light of satisfaction was in his
teachers eyes as Dave made this an
swer. Mr.. Duncan had realized that
no was starting late with this nunii
and IL there were any short cuts to
education he must find them. SO he
had set out deliberately to instil the
idea that education is not a matter of
schools and colleges, or courses Of
reading. or formulate of any kind, but
a matter of the i've senses applied to
every experience Of life. And he knew
that nothing was coarse or common
that passed through Dawes hands.

PENNIES GROW INTO NOTES
Interesting Connection Between the
Extremes of Currency In Conn.,
nonwealth Of Australia.

Toward the end of each year pen
MES and halfpennies go by the hun
dred thousand into Australian chill
dren's money boxes and are held back
by big business firms In anticipation
of the coming inflow Of customers.
To cope with the demand, the sgd
ney and Melbourne minis have been
steadily at work since June last year.
In four months 100000 new pennies
and 100000 new halfpennies were sent
into circulation In Victoria alone. II
is equally interesting to note that half
the total commonwealth note issue
consists of FL, 900 notes, of which there
are more than $4,000 notes In circu-
lation, as against the 1900 odd 600
notes. There are about 13,500000 FL
notes, and the total commonwealth
note issue is stated as f55, 269,719. In
a vigorous young commonwealth the
connection between the $1,000 note
and the newly minted copper in the
child's money box is not difficult to
imagine.

deeply Interested in the young man
who was to be her coachman. Dave
had never been In a home like this,
and his eyes, unaccustomed to COM
Portable furnishings, appraised them
as luxury. He soon found himself talk
ing with Mrs. Duncan about horses,
and then about his old life on the
ranch, and then about coming to town.
Almost before he knew IL he had told
her about Reenie Hardy, but he had
checked himself In time. And Mrs.
Duncan had noticed 1t, without com
ment, and realized that her guest was
not a boy but a man.
Then Mr.. Duncan talked about gar
dening, and from that to Dawes skill
in backing his team to the coal chute,
and from that to coal itself. Dave had
shoveled coal all winter. but he had
not thought about coal except as
something to be shoveled and SHOW
eled. And as Mr.. Duncan explained
to him the wonderful provisions of ma
ture-how she had stored away in the
undiscovered lands billions ot tons of
coal, holding them in reserve until the
worlds supply of timber for fuel
should be nearing exhaustion, and as
he told of the Unreasonable wealth OF
this great new land in coal resources,
and of how the wheels of the world,
traffic and industry and science. even,
were dependent upon coal and the
man who handled the coal. Dave felt
his breast rising with a sense of the
dignity of his calling. He had had to
do with this wonderful substance all
winter, and not until tonight had ii
fired the divine spark Of his magma
ton. The time licked on, and although
he was eager TO be at work he almost
dreaded the moment when Mr.. Duncan
should mention his lesson. But be-
fore that moment came there was a
ripple of laughter at the door, and
girl in tennis costume and young
man little older than Dave entered.
Edith" said Mrs. Duncan.
Dave arose and shook hands. Then
Mr.. Allan Forsyth was introduced.
Mr.. Forsyth shook hands heartily, but
Dave was conscious of being caught in
one quick glance which embraced him
from head TO heel. And the glance
was Observation-Disclosures 1t was
such a glance as Dave might give a
horse when he would say, "a good
horse, but l can handle him." 1t was
evident from that glance that Forsyth
had no fear of rivalry from that ouar-
ter. And having no fear he could af-
ford to be friendly.
Dave had no distinct remembrance
of what happened just after that, but
he was conscious Of an overwhelming
desire to hear Miss Duncan sing. How

AS soon as Dave had learned to read

TO the public library, and the young

quently happened. And the boy was
not slow 10 realize the broad nature
of the task to which Mr.. Duncan had
set himself. His education was to be
built of every knowledge and expert
ence that could go into the rounding
of well-developed life.
The climax seemed to be reached
when Mr.. Duncan invited Dave to ac-
company him to a dinner at which a
noted thinker. just crossing the con-
tinent, had consented to speak.
"It will be evening dress" said Mr..
Duncan. 81 suppose you are hardly
fitted out that way?"
II guess not" said Dave smiling
broadly. He recalled the half-humor-
Gus sarcasm with which the Metford
gang referred to any who might be
seen abroad in their Hereford
fronts" He had sudden vision of
himself running the gantlet of their
ridicule.
But Mr.. Duncan was continuing.
II think l can fix you up" he said.
1--WE must be pretty nearly of a size,
and have a spare suit" And almost
before he knew ii it was arranged that
Dave should attend the dinner.
1t was an eventful night for him.
His shyness soon wore off, for during
these months he had been learning to
accept any new experience gladly.
And as he sat among this company
of the best minds Of the town he felt
that q new world was opening before
