JEWEL BOX BURGLAR PROOF
vaIuabIes May Be Accounted Safe
When Placed Within This Up
to-Date Receptacle.

Among the newest things that in
ventors have given US in the last few
months is box that comes as near to
beiGg burglar proof as it is possible
to imagine. 1t looks like an ordinary
steel box with a keyhole in its side.
But just lift it or move ii and loud
alarm bell begins to ring inside il.
This bell keeps on ringing for five
hours and 1t cannot be stopped with
out unlocking the box.
burglar might carry off the box,
but its alarm would keep on ringing
and would give him away before he
could get it to a place Of safety. IL
he touches 1t, even stumbles against
it, the alarm will arouse the house
hold, for the slightest movement suf-
fees TO set it ringing. This is also
true of the dishonest servant.
The owner can, however, open and
close the box at will, as he has the
key. And the only way in which he
can be robbed is by some thief steal
Ing the key before tampering with the
box.
This safe is arranged inside with
trays for small articles, money and
jewelry and with space under them
for securities, such as bonds and
mortgG ses. The whole is made OF
seamless steel, nickel-plated, with a
piano hinge and strong double lock.
There are no duplicate keys, nor is
there a master key that will open 1t.

SPRING Beauties.

One of the commonest varieties OF
flowers found after the snow has
melted away is the Spring Beauty
The little blossoms are very delicate
Pink. Each petal is lined with hair
lines of deep pink. Some naturalists
claim that these hair lines of deep
pink are honey guides for insects.
lines that point the way to the tiny
sac of honey to be found in the center
of the flower.
Although the stalk of the Spring
Beauty is very slender, it is quite
sturdy enough to support the two
slim green leaves, in the base OF which
is held the flower, and a cluster OF
diminutive buds, each on a stem no
larger than a fine thread.

IMPORTING HOUSES NEW FAD
English Residences Centuries Old Are
Actually Lived in by Wealthy
New York Residents.

Several houses complete in every
detail, dating from the Sixteenth cen
tury, have recently been imported
from England. Lovers of the antique
may enjoy the unique experience OF
living in the actual rooms which were
built and decorated three centuries or
more ago, and be within convenient
committing distance of New York.
Such homes are naturally expensive.
for the original cost is not only con-
siderable, but the cost Of Transports
ton, the tariff and the expense of re
building are naturally great.
An English firm makes a speciality
OF selling these houses and keeps
number of them on hand Ia their
show place near London for inspec-
atfon. When an old house is to be
torn down TO make room for some i'm
provement, the building is bought in.
usually for nominal sum. After be-
ing carefully taken apart it is rebuilt
in the show place near London, ready
for the inspection of purchasers. If
II is bought by an American, for in
stance, the house is once more taken
down and packed with care for ship
ment. This work is done by experts,
SO that the parts, especially the wood
work, will not be injured. The Eng
lish builders usually come to America
20 set up the house exactly as Il orig
inally stood in England. In some in
stances these old houses have been
surrounded with English gardens, re-
producing the original setting in Eng
land of centuries past.

ESTIMATE FEED COST
OF EGG PRODUCTION
Records Show About What
Amounts Are Used by Fowls.
Value Of General-Purpose Breeds for
Market; or for Hatching and
Breeding Makes Them
Most Desirable Birds.

prepared by the United States Departmen
of Agricultural
Careful pOultrymen like To know
what it costs them TO produce a dozen
eggs, but Ii is not possible for anyone
To tell them. With certain informa-
tiOn obtained through experimental
feeding TO start with, they must figure
1t out for themselves. Since the feed
constitutes the principal cost, 1t is
possible to get some idea of the real
cost IL the amount Of grain used I'm
making a dozen eggs Is known. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has kept records that show about
what amounts are used ny general
purpose fowls and Leghorns, and by
using the local price for grain in con-
nection with these figures the feed
cost Of dozen eggs can be obtained
with fair accuracy.
The grain consumed TO produce a
dozen eggs will vary great deal, de-
pending upon the skill Of the poultry
man, but it is assumed that he knows
how to feed economically. The gen.
In this feeding work were kept on the
test while pullets and yearllngs. As
pullets the general-purpose fowls pro-
duced 1908 eggs year and SS.1 as
yearlings. The Leghorns produced an
average of 1887 eggs as pullets and
124.9 as yearlngs.
The general-purpose pullets ate I'm a
year an average Of 81 pounds of feed
per dozen eggs produced. and the year
lings ate 9.6 pounds. The Leghorn
puilets ate 4.S pounds and the year
lings SO pounds The general-purpose
pullets ate 10 pounds more feed in
producing a dozen eggs than the Leg
horn pullets. and the difference in
creases very rapidly with the age OF
the stock, the genera-purpose year
lings consuming Al pounds more feed
per dozen eggs than the LeghOrn year
lings: therefore the Leghorn yearlings
produced eggs upon much less feed
than the general-purpose breeds
The value of the general-purpOse
breeds for market. or for tatching and
breeding makes them usually the most
desirable breeds for the general
farmer and the backyard poultry rails
er. while the LeghOrns are especially
adapted for the commercial egg farms,
say the pOultrymen of the depart
ment.

X. s. Cradle, a st. Louis newspaper

Cobb Shinn was In ST. Louis at the

the youngsters by drawing pictures on
the large paper hats which were given
to each child. He would draw what
ever the children asked for, and the
subjects were many and various.
Finally five-year-old handed up his
hat and said:

The drawing was started, when
brother about a year older, spoke up:
saw, he don't want a picture of
pig"-and the argument was on.
When the drawing was finished, the
