It is about as natural for a hen to lay in the fall and winter as it is for roges to bloom at the same season. But the expert poultryman nowadays with his modern methods of breeding, of feeding, of housing and of handling has his hens to lay 200 or more eggs per year and to lay a goodly number of these in the winter. says the Kan- sas Farmer. Can an ordinary farmer or smsll poultry keeper get a good winter yield of eggs? He can if he will have a properly built house, not meaning an expensive one, but a house that poultry use and live in and can’t be kept out of. He can if he will feed the modern w’gg or feed all grain in litter; feed beef scraps, fish scraps or milk—ani- mal protein—heavily; feed dry mashes and perhaps wet mashes. Feed plenty of grit and oyster shells. The digestive apparatus of a chicken demands grits. The feeding is the big element in governing the egg yield. How He Made the Sales. A couple of traveling salesmen bump- ed into each other on Broadway the other day. “How’s business?" queried the first one, “Rotten,” was the answer. “How is it with you?” “Fine, simply fine. On my last trip 1 opened ten new accounts and did a to- tal business of $45,000. I sold one man a $6,000 bill and another one §$5,000.” “S0? Well, I think I ought to get a commission on those sales.” “Whatddye mean you ought to get a commission on those sales?” “Sure I ought to. If you hadn’t met me you never would have made them.” —New York Tribune. Put one' pound of round steak through a meat chepper and seasom with salt, pepper and chopped onion.

The first cotton mill in the United States was built in Pawtucket in Wash- ington’s first adniinistration. The malk- ing of texztiles has become Rhode Is- land’s first industry. Some 60,000 per- sons work in it, and its output is about 50 per cent of the manufactured prod- ucts of the state, which, little as it is. is fourth in the making of cotton goods and third in the making of woolens and W?rsteds. Ready to Believe It. A person who had got some little smattering of zoelogical lore said one day to a novice that crocodiles were often seen in tears: “Qh, that’s nothing!” rvejoined the novice. “I've often myself seen whates’ blubber!”—Stray Siories.

The following story is toid of the visit of a European: diplomst to- the sultan of Morocco. During the aundi- ence the visitor neticed with surprise that not one of the several clocks in | the audience chamber was going. He mentioned in as delicate a manner as possible to the sultan that his clocks had all stopped and hinted that he would like to present him with one that could be relied upon. The sultan thanked bim, with a smile, and added: ers. They were all going just before you came, but I had them stepped, as 1 did not desire during your excellen- cy’s all too brief visit to be reminded of the flight of time.” PICK THE GOOD -SPOTS.

And the Ancient Legends of Scylla and Charybdis. The Sicilian' and Italian banks which border the strait of Messina for nearly twenty-five miles }D the east and west are among the most Juxuriant to be found in a cruise of the Mediterranean. Magnificent golden groves of Iemon and orange and erchards of pomegran- ate, with their brilliant red fruit, con- trast wonderfully with the flowers of the atmond trees which perfume the whole region. The strait is entered from the Tyrrhe-| nian sea, on the north, at the marrow- est point, the distance between Punta del Faro, cn the Siciliam shore, and the mainland Fighthouse on Punta Pezzo being not mwre than two miles. The whole of the €alabrian coast is thickiy sown with villages, some ‘clinging to the beach, while others clamber up the sides of well wooded hills which cul- minate in the towering Montalto, ris- ing to an elevation of more tlian a mile above the sea. Beyond the strait tof the southwest looms ever threatening Eina, the highest volcano in Europe. The most important ity situated. on the strait is the once magnificent sea- port of Messina. which boasted a-pspu- lation: of 10,000 fnhabitants- before “the world’s most cruel earthquake™ of Dec. 28 190S. tossed mearly 100,080 lives away.

The same sensations, minus the alco- hol, experienced by an intoxicated per- son who s trying to walk in a straight line or on a narrow sidewalk which is only thirty feet wide can be had by any one who takes the trouble to draw a straight line on the floor and then look at the line through a pair of opera glasses in a reversed position. After the glasses are focused try to walk on the line. You will find it im- possible to follow it closely. The line will look like an ink seratch on a sur- face miles away, and the closer you look and try to follow the line the more vexed your vision becomes.— Popular Science Monthly.

The Parsee, untrammeled by his sur- roundings, is seen in Bombay in all hig wealth of height and dress. The men are, without exception, tal, finely form- ed and stately and posses a robustness and beauty quite at contrast with their Hindu neighbors. Their street cos- tume is a peculiar long white cotton gown, wide trousers of the same ma- terial and eolor and a tall miter shaped hat. They have a general reputation for sobriety, frugality and sagacity. and they seem to thoroughly under- stand the accun:ulation of fortunes, in this respect mbling the Hebrews.
