ALL MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.

To coax your hens to lay, It's
said, just wire up your chicken
shed. and then install electric
lights to hide and camoufiage
the nights.
Hen houses. II provided thus,
will prove boon for all of us,
since eggs have taken wings. and
flown to regions hitherto unknown.
In fact the theory's advanced
that fruitfulness may be enhanced
by teaching chickens how I'd laugh
and giving them a phonograph.
Select your records full of life
and egg-producing will be rife;
good Jokes they cannot fail to
heed and music, will increase the
speed.
The day is very near at hand when
laying hens throughout the land
win call a strike. unless they
get more comforts than they've
had ~ yet.

A DAILY LINE O. CHEER
By John Kendrick Bangs
ON A MARCH MORNING.

The morn Is cold but / am not,

The spirit of good cheer to warm
My being 'gainst the chill of storm.

OF things that tell of coming spring.

with this story: ,
"One of my lawyer friends in the
hills of Kentucky was a candidate
for county honors. While out can
vassing for votes he knocked at the
door of a mountain cabin. The door
was opened by a woman.

you got him on for stealing that
ham last week."
No, no." the lawyer corrected.

New York City
BY o. o. Mcrntyre

New York, March 2. .
was riding in the subway.
And reading a newspaper.
For which I paid two cents.
And I'd been eating batter cakes
And felt stuffy.
And just . little srouchy.
And while I was reading.
A little fellow next to me.
Was also trying to read.
From the paper bought.
And it was all right
But was fun Of batter CAKES.
And when I'm that way.
I become almost q nend.
And talk back to my wife.
And everything.
And the more this guy read.
The maddes 60.
And I'd jerk the paper up.
And he'd crane his neck.
And I'd jerk the paper down
And then cross-ways.
But he didn't mind.
He was getting the news free.
, And finally I folded Y up.
And stuck it deep.
-Ip my sovercoat pocket
And giared at the fellow.
But he didn't care.
And so looked away.
And after little while.
looked at him again.
And the little rascal.
Had picked my pocket.
And was reading my paper.
And 1 saw an article.
That had overlooked.
About an actress.
Suing a multi-millionaire.
J And I peeked over the top,
And the little guy saw me.
And folded up the paper.
So 1 couldn't see it.
And I tried to read some more.
And he got up and moved.
To a seat across the aisle.
And everybody was laughing.
And got up and got out
At the wrong station.
And ran into an old man.
Who smacked me over the bean.
With his umbrella.
And fell going up steps.
And bit my tongue: ..
And I'm on batter cakes.
From now on TIL eat.
Nothing but cookies.

Tell Fortunes With Bones.

In the Transvaal he belief in Kaf. fir doctors and thelc wizardry has not died out. Nearly every old Kaffir has always with him a bag of bones kruckles and joints of animals. With these he pretends to be able to fore tell the future. He throws the "dolos," as they are called. and then reads out the omens. Should white man wish to confer with the oracle, he must throw the bones himself. Many white men tirmy believe in the ability of the Kafiir doctor to cure them from sundry ills, and in Rho desia there have been many cases where the Kaffir doctors have saved whites from the ravages of the terri ble levers that rage there, in addi- tion to coping successfully with toothache and other ills.

Prehistoric Birds,

The diatryma of the Rocky moun- tain region, a fossil ostrichlike bird, of which the American Museum of Natural History has recovered bones enough to complete restoration of the skeleton, is shown to have been nearly seven feet tall, with massive neck, a head IT inches long and wings too small for flight. Its powerful beak Is believed to have served in procuring its chief food from fresh water clans. The bones were obtained from the bad lands of the Big Horn basin. Wyoming. where some 100000 years ago. in the Eocene period, this giant of North American birds must have been a contemporary of the eohippus, the pigmy four-toed horse.

Famous Enqlish Honey.

One of the most sought after prod ucts of Lakeland is its famous heather honey. The French claim that the rosemary honey of Narbonne is the finest in the world. but that of the English fells may challenge a sporting comparison. Its only fault is that there is so little of it. A development of bee keeping on the extensive Ameri- can system, under the management of skilled apiarists, could increase 1t thousandfold, and provide the public with an unequaled medicinal food for invalids and children. With fruit cul- ture. dairying ought to be combined to provide fertlizing material. and sol dier settlers could buy in the Lake land Shorthorn. one of the finest dual purpose COWS in existence.-London Mail.

Praise Japanese Music,

The song which Japanese workmen sing when raising the rooftrees of new building ranks with the purest music in the world, according to Henry Eichheim, Boston composer, who is spending a year in Japan studying oriental music. He said Tn Tokyo: "The orientals have evolved by the process of elimination perfect philosophy, a perfect art and a per feet music. If we could think as ori. entals think, we would realize the ab- solute simplicity and perfection of their art life" AS he goes about Japan he takes notes on the primi- tive music of laborers and on the sound of temple bells, with their beautiful overtones, with the view of making them themes for his compositions.

lceIandic History.

For 400 years Iceland was an aristo- cratic republic, ruled by the great fam lilies of the early settlers, among whom was a Morse queen of Dublin. A IA days open air parliament of all Ice land met annually in June at Thing vellir and the speaker of the law (og-soguman) used to recite from memory the whole of the unwritten, elaborate laws of the country to the assembly. In 1262-1264 Iceland was united to Norway, and in 1880 with Norway to Denmark. The Danish rule ruined the island economically, but since the granting of government and the re-establishment of the old parliament, in 1874, at Reykjavik, great progress has been made.-Na- tional Geographic Society Bulletin.

HYDABURG TOWN
 DOLLED UP IN GREEN
(New Native)

Any stranger coming through Sukwan would think he was ap- preaching the emerald isle instead of Hydaburg. Since the school was painted green, everyone seems to have a bias for that color. There is no question about the beauty of a green roof. It looks fine from the bay, sort O like a well kept lawn. We would sug- gest that other colors' be used to give variety. The colors of na- ture, of life are essentially varied and different. Whatever color is applied, let us have the town painted before the Fourth.

Man of Contradictions,

July 30 is the birthday of Samuel Rogers, who was born in 1763 and died in 1855. For fifty years the world of art and letters flocked to the entertain ments given at his beautiful London house in St. James place. It was said that an invitation to one of his break lasts was as good as formal intro duction to literary society. He was a poet of some merit. but he was more famOus-and is better remembered for his caustic wit. At the same time he was extremely generous. "He cer- tainly had the kindest heart and the unkindest tongue of anyone I ever knew," said Fanny Kemble.

Unique Philippine Fruits.

There have been found in the Phil ippines two fruits entirely unknown to Europe, and even to America. One of these is the durian, which grows on a lofty tree somewhat resembling an elm, is about as large as COCO nut, has shiny shell and contains a creamy pulp which combines some of the f1avors of delicious custard with those of fine cheese. Ameri- can soldiers in the Philippines dub- bed the durian the vegetable linn burger" The other rare fruit is the mangosteen, but the eXquisitely fla vored liquid it contains has not yet been successfully preserved for ship ping.
