Hens VS.. PulIets.-One Of the i'm
portant problems that the poultry
man has to deal with is how to get
the largest number Of eggs from his
flock. How can he do this? BY Sc
lecting pullets to comprise about two
thirds of his entire flock rather than
by having majority Of hens. Sta.
tistics show that pullets lay about 30
eggs more per year than hens. This
is true for both the heavy and the
light breeds. The net profit therefore
is in favor of the pullets. They lay
more eggs in the fail and winter when
the prices are high, and so tend fur
ther to increase the profit. During
the pullet year an estimated profit
above feed of $3.50 per bird is netted,
while for the hen year profit OF
s2.52 per bird is netted.
Why then keep a large flock of
birds which will decrease the profits
rather than increase them? Keep
mors rr!lets and fewer hens in the
flock. It pays and means better re-
suits all round.

writing just as he wrote them"
This Is a fact For Oscar Wilde was
frequent habitue of the place many years
ago. Pere Hubert was much younger than
he Is now. but he still remembers Wilde
Just as he remembers Paul Verlaine, who.
according to Pere Hubert, has written many
of his saturnine verses on the barrels OF the
cider cafe.
But most especially does pere Hubert re-
member the visit of a guest whom he re-
CARDS as the most dlstnguished-one Ga
brielle d'Annunzio, to whom he served
glass of cider just before the war.
There's a sign still hanging on the walls
of the place inviting all artists who have
not yet left a sample of their verse or paint
ings TO please stop at the desk OF the boss

Dyssard still hangs on the walls. and there
are a score of Indifferent verses written by
nonentities.

founded by Cardinal Bertrand IN t34i. The
Bishops of Chartres also once lived Ia the
street and the vestiges are still seen of
the house which Francois Ter built for his
favorite. the Duchesse d'Etampes
Old Pere Hubert came 10 the street about

The Bohemans of Paris. including the

Paul Verlaine and Jacques Dyssard paid
years and years ago in the same place be-
cause hale and hearty old Pere Hubert
steadily refused to augment the tariff on
drinks.
To this fact many an American soldier
who was a student at the Sorbonne during
the days following the armistce, when the
army was interested in education can attest,
for in those days Pere Hubert was the host
of many a guest in khaki
The Cabaret de la Boee de Cidre as Pere
Hubert's place is called, has been the favor
ite resort of Bohemia in Paris for years.
Even the prestige of Bertolottis in Green
wich Village would be eclipsed by the popu-
larity of prices and the associations of
antiquity that surround the little hole in
the wall that Pere Hubert runs in the rue
de rHirondelle.

by gaudy paintings executed by aspiring
artists whose talent never equalled their
ambitions, and some OF whom may have thus
paid for a much needed bowl or two of cider
or apple brandy when rent day had left an
empty pocket.
The establishment has experienced all the
vcissitudes of the wheel of fortune in cater

OF the most noted writers and painters In
France who were unable to go to the ex-
pense of quenching their thirst In the more
elaborate cafes or the Boule Niche.

In Answering the Great Questions

Answers to these questions Flammarioh
gives but he does so by pursuing the course
taught him in astronomy, which he pro
nounces to be the most exact science; thi-
is TO collect from everywhere and from all
ages what has been seen and either under
stood or not comprehended and by COM
parison to wrest the truth.
While making this vast collection Flam-
marion does not deceive himself in regard to
the fallibity Of human testimony saying
that il always remains contestabe.
More than once have we recognized the
scientific feebleness of human witnesses ana
we know that we should always suspect
them They are uncertain, they vary with
the time, they do not agree about human
events where it would seem that unanimity
of opinion were TO be found. People see
badly. Each one sees with his eyes ant
with his spirit (even in precise astronomy
the personal equation must be taken into
the account) and even as the testimonies
differ from each other memories fade and
differ from period TO period, and we cannot
always say that the persons who give the
testimony do so in good faith We ought
therefore to hold all these facts under ex-
treme circumspecton. But TO refuse them
all, to deny them all, leads US to an abyss
of ignorance which the professional sceptics
do not appear to measure"
From the mass of witnesses Flammarion
draws what he calls moral certtude; il
is that the apparition Of the dead to the
living can no longer be scientifically doubted.
Thus he writes:
From the observations that have passed
before our eyes we know that incorporeal
souls have manifested themselves TO living
souls. But we are frequently asked If we
have had ourselves communication with the
dead, with the souls that have already passed
beyond the frontier"
The answer to this question NJ. F'lamma
rion reserves to the concluding volume.
There he intends to mass his testimony and
the results of his INVESTIGATION extending
over weeks, months and years "All this
testimony shall be scrupulously discussed,
examined and controlled. The scientific
method will be adhered TO- No phrases no
metaphysical dissertations; only facts

" AMILLE FLAAIMARION is a believer
in the immortality of the soul and
in the power of disembodied spirits
who once walked the earth TO return there
carrying messages of hope warning. ad-
monition, instruction to mortals who still
walk upon it. He has written three books
that he calls his spiritual trlogy The first
one contained the facts he had collected to
prove irrefutably the existence of the soul;
the second one, which has just appeared, has
for its study all the facts to be garnered
from every age and every cline about death.
The last of the trilogy, although written, has
not yet appeared in print
La Mort ct son Mystere is the general
title of this trilogy. Aatour dc la Mort
(About Death) is the specific title of the
second tome, ana in the preparation of 1t
the author states at the beginning that he
has been scientifically severe in his admis-
sion OF testimonies and extremely careful in
the conclusions he draws from them. Before
going to work on the second part he judged
1t wise to ask if the 400 pages which con-
stitute the first part of his inquiry had made
absolutely certain the existence of the soul
as an entity independent OF the body
"The facts to be set down" says Flam
marion, will prove superabundantly the
truth of this thesis buttressed as it is by
the manifestations observed at the time Of
death and after death. They will also reply
TO the questions: Does man know himself
entirely? Is his evolution yet complete?
Are his psychic qualities transcendent
that they could not belong to the brain?"
