answer was lost That is, 1t was lost
TO all but Carol Terhune.
Roderick Sears walked beside Carol
into the drawing room and followed
her out onto the terrace, where the
moon lighted the garden and the wa
ter beyond. and made it a veritable
fairy land.
"A year ago tonight I was the most
homesick. miserable man in the
world" he said.
Il suppose you felt rather out of it
with Mr.: Smith engrossed with Ethel
Barrymore and Mr.. Bowman with the
supplement lady" Carols voice would
have sounded detached TO the unob-
servant, but underneath its soft, full
tones there was a little tremor that
Roderick Sears heard.
There were only two of us in that
hut" he said--"Smith and l."
But Bowman and his beautiful
young lady?" queried Carol.
Il didn't care to tell Mrs. Cushman
Lane the only real romance of my life
so / called myself Bowman. was
the madman who fell in love with the
picture. just as am the man who has
fallen in love with the gIri.'
Inside the drawing room some one
was singing. The haunting notes of
'The Barcarole of Spring" mingled
with the soft crashing of the surf on
the beach. The beauty of it. and the
nearness of the man as he leaned
down to speak, made Carol catch her
breath.
.Of course. Miss Terhune. the pic
ture was of you" His voice was low
as he spoke, and his face white and
rather stern.
Carol Terhune was very beautiful as
she looked at the man beside her. Her
hand touched his for a moment-just
the ghost of a contact.
II think ] am the happiest woman
on earth." she whispered. If she had
anything further to say, 1t was lost
drowned by the beating of Roderick
Sears heart against her own.

IS AsKELoN OF SCRIPTURE
Areheolosists Recognize the Site Of
the Ruins of Ascalon as the
City Of Herod.

Forty-fve years ago there was a
mild controversy in England as to
whether the Ascalon whose site Pro-
fessor Garstang is to excavate was the
Askelon of Scripture. a place twenty
three miles inland was described as
another early Christian inland As
Gallon" by Lieutenant Gender in 1875,
this British archeologist definitely CIV
ing to the seacoast city the honor of
being the Askelon of Herod, the Scrip
lures and the Crusades. A character
istic British touch in letter from
GAIA in April, 1875, is given by Con-
der when he alludes to Ascalon as the
great English fortress of King Rich
ard" that crusading monarch's con-
nection with it lasting for time after
he restored Ascalon In 1902.
Although the place was almost to-
tally destroyed by the army of Sultan
Bibars in 1870, and its artificial harbor
filed up with stones, the town still
had fiourishing gardens as late as 1880.

described it. Lady Hester Stanhope
attempted an excavation in 1915 on
the site of the old mosque in hope of
finding a treasure. but the )ors of
the workmen she employed brought no

KITCHEN WASTE GOOD
FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Converted Into Wholesome and
Nutritious Food.
Not Only Helps in Reducing Cost Of
Living, but Furnishes Eggs OF
Quality and Freshness Diff
ficuit to Obtain.

In every household, no matter how
economical the housewife. there Is a
certain amount of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding
value, but which, If not fed, finds Its
way into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of domes-
tic animals suitable for converting
this waste material, right where it is
produced in the city, into wholesome
and nutritious food in the form of
eggs and poultry meat,
Each hen In her pullet year should
produce ten dozen eggs, poultry spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. The average
size of the backyard flock should be
at least ten hens. Thus, each flock
would produce in year 100 dozen of
eggs, which, at the conservative value
of 35 cents a dozen, would be worth
S35.
BY keeping backyard poultry flock
the family would not only help in re-
ducing the cost of living but would
have eggs of a quality and freshness
often otherwise difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little, as
the fowls are fed largely upon waste
materials.

months old, they should be operated
upon. The lower age and weight linn
Its apply particularly to the American
breeds. while the higher apply to the
Asiatics. Capons are in greatest de-
mand and bring the. best prices from
the Christmas season until the end of
March.
Capons are usually kept till they are
about ten months old. At this time
the market is at its best and the birds
have made their most profitable gains.
The feeds used and the methods Of
feeding vary greatly, SO much so. in
deed, that 1t is futile to give specific
directions. For several months after
the operation good growing ration,
not a fattening one, is required. 1t
may consist of whole grains, ground
grains, or a combination of the two, as
each feeder finds most profitable and
best suited to his locality. AS with
other poultry. variety must be given
for best results. Late in the fall,
when the capons have no pasture,
green feed, such as cut clover or veg
etables, should be provided. A some
what more fattening ration than that
required for laying hens seems to give
good results.
Free Range Desirable.
AS capons are not usually marketed
before Christmas, or the first of JAN
uary, they have to be housed during
late fall and early winter. Because of
their quiet disposition they stand
crowding quite well, and have been
successfully housed with only two or
three square feet of floor space to a
fowl. Free range for capons, however,
is very desirable, as 1t promotes their
continuous. rapid, and economical
growth. The cost of rearing capons to
ten months of age is big item with
present high feed prices, unless good
range is available.
During the last month and half
before marketing the corn in the ra-
tion should be gradually increased un-
til the capons are. on a full fattening
ration. For the last two or three
weeks they may be shut up and fed
in crates, for every possible ounce at
this stage adds to appearance and
profit.

Caponizing the surplus cockerels is
growing in favor with poultrymen and
some farmers in this industry. for the
capon grows larger than the cockerel
and In addition commands a much bet
ter price.
1t is impossible to say just how long
the operation of caponizing has been
performed. 1t seems quite certain.
however. that the practice was famil-
lar to the Chinese more than 1000
years ago. Later it was practiced by
the Greeks and Romans and through
medieval times by the people Of mid
die and southern Europe. In recent
years IL was introduced into America.
At present capons are most universal
ly known and appreciated in France,
although the business of producing
them has advanced gradually in Amer
lea. This Industry is most important
In that portion of the United States
east of Philadelphia, though increas-
ing numbers of capons are being raised
in the middle western states on gen
eral farms.
In selecting the breed best suited
for capOnizing several factors must be
taken into consideration. Large capons
bring the best prices. Consequently,
the breed should be large. 1t does not
pay to caponize small fowls, poultry
experts of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. Yellow legs
and skin, as in other classes of poul-
try, are most popular. The Plymouth
Rocks, Light Brahmas, Cochins. In
dian Games. Langshans, and Wyan-
dottes are all recommended by differ
ent producers, us are also various
crosses of these. The Orpington also
makes fine capons, but the white legs
and skin are somewhat of a disadvan-
tage In this country.
Best Price in Winter.
In so far as the effects of the opera
tion and the rapidity and ease of heal
ing are concerned, the time of year
when the operation is performed is of
little importance. The capons seem
to recover well at any time. Certain
other considerations. however, infiu-
ence the time. The age and size of the
cockerel are very important. AS soon
as the cockerels weigh one and one
half pounds. or when two to four

Last Nights
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM THAT YOU WERE
DREAMlNG7

HAVELOCK ELLIS does not be-
l. l. lieve that such a thing as to
dream that you are dreaming is pos
sible. For his part, he says, he has
never had any such experience but ad-
mits that II has been borne witness
to by many philosophers and other
investigators of dream phenomena
from Aristotle and Synesius down to
the present day. In this connection 1t
may be remarked that the literature
of dream science Is n large one and
that the books written upon the SUBJ
ject by learned and distinguished
men from Aristotle the famous Greek
philosopher who died 800 years before
Christ and was the first to attempt a
scientific investigation of the dream
problem-down to Freud and Have
lock, would fill considerable library.
Most of the scientists admit the fact
of dreams within dreams and nearly
everybody has had such an expert
ence, even though Havelock has not.
Havelock says that when in our dream
we say to ourselves, 81 am dreaming"
we are not asleep really but have
''emerged for a moment. without real
Izing it. to the waking surface of con-
seriousness" No one who has had
such dream will agree with him. The
other scientists admitting the dream
within n dream. explain 1t in various
learned psychological ways.
As for our mystic he bothers him
self not at all about psychology but
declares that 1t is unlucky TO dream
that you are dreaming. For It means
that somebody is going to deceive you
and cheat you out of money or valu-
ables. So If in some complicated or
unpleasant dream your dream
thought" snys: ITS all right anyway
| am only dreaming" look carefully
after your affairs and keep watch OF
those who are In position to deceive
you. Journeys, unless absolutely nee
essary, are not recommended after
such n dream. But It's special warn
ing is to be on the alert for cheats.

ISLAND GIVEN ART STUDENTS
King Of the BeIaians Makes Disposi-
tion Of Piece Of Land In
Lake of Como.

A little Jewel of an island. on the
lake of Como, was the princely gift of
Augusta Giuseppe Caprani. former
mayor of Sala Comacina, to Albert,
king of the Belgians, as a token of ad-
miration for the heroic conduct Of his
people.
Albert In his turn has responded by
an act equally generous, by offering
this gift to the state for the benefit
of artists. and with the assistance of
the undersecretary of state. we'll
known, connoisseur and writer in art,
is having the island prepared for the
fortunate recipients. says an exchange.
AS yet the only building on the Is
land is the small church of S. Giovan-
nj, which dates from the fifteenth CEN
tury.
Without spelling the beauty of the
place, small bungalows are being con-
structed destined for artists, one Ia
Maison Beige being specially reserved
for Belgian artists. There will also be
little pavilions for exhibitions and lee
lures and concerts, and also little
hotel. The island is only two-thirds
of mile in length. but is of surpass-
ing beauty. and Sala, to which 1t
belongs, is situated In the beautiful
district, well called the Garden of
Lombardy. the Tremezzina.

Healthy Skin Vital.

1t is a matter of common knowledge
that If the kidneys fail to work, ure-
mic poisoning will follow and death
soon result. However, 1t is not as gen.
orally known that death will follow
the suppression of the functions or the
skin. Spallanzani showed that amphib-
ious animals would live longer after
their lungs were removed than after
they were painted over with varnish
so as to suppress the activity of the
skin, a fact that indicates that in these
animals the respiration through the
skin is more important than that
through the lungs. Even in the mann
mails, where the respiration through
the lungs is more important, death can
be caused by the complete suppress
sion of the functions of the skin, as by
coating the body all over with varnish.

Keep houses, coops, and fowls free

Sore eyes in ducks are often caused
by filthy quarters.
Be sure the chicks have plenty Of
clean water to drink.
Now is good time to fix up the
chicken house for winter.
The food must not be too highly

Lime is mighty good thing to

Sell surplus cockerels as soon as
they weigh two or two and a half

Clean the brood coops frequently
and sprinkle the floors with chafr or

The Idea that many still retain, that
all pullets will lay a fair quota of

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"JITNEY."

Turing the period which i'm
u mediately followed the
Mexican war. a number of words
which were contractions or
slight changes of terms in COM
mon use south of the Rio
Grande entered the United
States vocabulary because of the
increased use of colloquial Span
ish in the southern part of this
country. Among these words
was "jitney"-a combination OF
two Mexican words meaning the
lowest possible value. and first
used by American gamblers In
scornfully referring to the
small change" or "chlcken
feed" which the Mexicnns insist
ed on introducing into the games
of chance. The copper cent be-
Ing rare In those days, the term
was gradually applied to the
United States five-cent piece,
and worked its way North.
where, among the street arabs
of New York a nickel has long
been known as "jit," just as
cent is n "meg," "dimmo" is
n dime and 'cutle" is n quar-
ter.
The advent of the private mo-
torbus which charged five cents
for n ride helped materially to
revive the term. the automobiles
first being known as "jitney-
busses" and then the name was
shortened to "jitneys."
