Pigeons are believed, on account of
their habit of standing .on one leg, to
lead to poverty. If a house la lnfest

bedding by buga, the names of a hun

ten on a piece of paper, which la
fastened to the ceiling or bedpost, and
jrelief from the pesta will be instan

ground, over which powerful formulae
have been recited, If thrown into an
enemy's house, will cauae his ruin.
Canaries Aid Church Choir.
Canaries, caroling an unusual ac
companiment to the organ and choir,
were used In a London church recent
ly. The pastor, the Rev. Fenwicko
L. Holmes, decided to surprise his
(lock with the unique plan. The con
gregation accordingly filed Into a
ihurch brightened by the melody of a
jozen pretty yellow birds, imported
Irom Germany, their cages swinging
it advantageous points high above the
keads of the worshipers. The canaries
interrupted the sermon very little, j
But when the choir and the cougre- !
fation arose to sing hymns the feather
ed songsters burst forth into a musical
itdence which greatly enhanced the ,
human praise of the Creator. Mr. ]
Holmes does not know that canaries 1
sere ever used before Atj^Suurch serv- j
rices, but he thinks them a great help |
to sincere worship. They will be used
?very Sunday hereafter.
Motor Shlp's Long Voyage.
Tlie voyage of the motor' ocean
Moer Selaudla, the first passenger and
cargo Teasel to make a long journey
entirely Independent of the use of
?team power, has been completed
without mishap. The distance cor*,
trad was 21,600 miles. In fuel econo
my the vessel far exceeded expecta
tion. Very few alterations are Bug
l??ted by the engineers. They relate
chiefly to the heat radiated from the
ufeaust, which affected the tempera
hire of the engine room. This trou
ble has been corrected.
So successful was the maiden trip
?f the Selandia that the Danish East
Asiatic company has ordered three
?ther motor shlpB of greater toojiag#.

JIM ELLIOT'S MISSION
By GENE P. OUANDE.
It was a sharp gum of wind i?k
furiously around tho corner utid filling
Jimmy Elliot's eyes with dust thai
wag responsible for the accident, For
being partially hllnded, ho darted for
ward In the path of a street car, which
promptly knocked him over and
against the edge of the sidewalk,
where he lay senseless^ while the
brecre caught up hla unsold newspa
pers and scattered thorn along tho
block, >
Miss Elslo Moore, who, with her es
cort was Just about to enter the the
ater close by, s^w the accident and
ran to the boy's side. Hho placed her
dainty han/lkerchlef ov<# the gash lu
his forehead, while tho gentleman
with her plckod up the lad and car
ried him to a near-by drug store.
Fortunately the Injury was not seri
ous and Jimmy, htfvlng recovered his
senses, overflowed with gratitude
when expressing his thanks to "de
swells what picked him outen de gut
ter." Qerald Osborne laughed as he
complied with his fiancee's request to
recompense the little news-vendor for
tho loss of his papers. Jimmy nat
urally looked upon his adventure as a
lucky one. The cut on his forehead
was a trivial matter, and the five dol
lar bill Osborne had given him was
of much importance.
As It chanced he was destined to
see his benefactors on more than one
occasion. Osborne and his fiancee
wer^jjegular theatergoers and it/fre
quently happened that they .passed
the corner where Jimmy had his head- j
quarters. At euch times the boy was !
always sure of a bright smile and kind
word from the girl and a tip from her
escort. It was late In the fall when]
he first noticed that his two favorite
customers had not paid hfs stand a
visit for an unusually Jong time.
When the winter days came on and
they were still missing Jimmy came
to the conclusion that they must have
been married and left the city.
Three, months later on a wet after
noon he suddenly spied among tho
throng at the corner waiting for the
passing cars, the slender form of his
former patroness,
"So you missed me, Jimmy?" she
queried softly.
"You bet I did, Miss," responded
the boy. "I t'ought youse ,mebbe got
married an' went away somewheres
wit' that gent." 1
The girl shook her head sadly. "No,
I didn't get married, Jimmy," she
said. "Things have, changed with me
since I saw you last. I'm just as poor
as you are now, Jimmy."
The boy stared at her in uttter be
wilderment. He noticed that .her dress
was old and worn, though neat and
carefully mended In places.
"Where's Mister Osborne?" he
asked. "Don't he know nothln' about
It?"
Elsie shook, her head again. "I don't
know where Mr. Osborne Is at pres
ent/' she said. "We have net seen
each other for a long time, not tt&oe? -
I became a working girl."
"Did ,he trun youse down when you
loses yer dough?" demanded the small
squire of dames wrathfully.
"I guess that must be it, Jimmy,"
responded the girl, as she turned to
board her car.
The, boy's eyea followed her wist*
fully. "I wonder," he murmured
thoughtfully, "if she's still stuck on
dat guy. Wisht I could see him some
wheres."
Two days later a familiar voice
hailed him ,and Gerald Osborne tossed
a coin on the stand as he caught up a
paper. . j
? MB&y7 yOTtwrayC nofriend of mine
no more," spoke, up Jimmy sturdily,
"after de . way youse treated Miss
Moore."
Osborne dropped the paper and
caught his shoulder.
"What do you know about Miss
Moore?" he asked excitedly. "Do you
know where she is?"
Jimmy, recounted his interview with
the girl, and Osborne listened atten
tively. -
"It was all a mistake, Jimmy," he
said. "I have been hunting for Miss
Moore for a long time. .When you
see her again, follow her, find out
where she lives, let me know and I'll
reward you well. Don't say anything
to her; she wouldn't understand; her
rilnd has been poisoned against me
by lies." ?
True to his trust, Jimmy tracked
the girl to her humble home the next
time she; passed the corner, and a few
hours later Elsie stood face to face
with her supposedly unfaithful lover
and listened to his explanations.
When Mr. Moore's wealth was shal
lowed up by an unlucky speculation,
and the family went to live in a poor
section of the city, Osborne, sum
moned suddenly away on a trip to the
east on business, was astounded to re
ceive a curt note from bis fiancee
breaking off their engagement, but
giving no reason for the action. He
was unaware that his sister Ethel,
who had never liked Elsie, had in
formed the girl that Gerald had
bowed to the wishes of his family and
was anxious to break off an engage
ment which was no longer desirable, j
Elsie's pride was aroused and con
sidering no further explanation neces
aary, she t<wk step*' toTelefcfi^" her
lover at once.
It did not take him iong to estab
lish his innocence in Elsie's eyea. and
before the night was over the reunited
lovers started forth in search of
Jimmy, the accomplishment of whose
mission of . gratitude had brought
them again together? never to part in
this life. ;r.
FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGOS
Though Nearly Half Water, Their
Contents Are Extremely Nutrltloue
? Comparison With M.eat.
Many persons often ask what an
eg g u made of, but strange to nvy~
ftv I'vfir find out to thtir entlni iaiU*
faction A ti't.t lit tin ?l<]miuucnt Q(
agriculture shows that the white of ait
egg is nearly sovoneighthn water, the
balance being nearly pure albumen.
The yolk la slightly less than one-half
water. Thia ia true of the eggs of
chickens, turkeys, duckw and geese. In
comparing the eggs of theso various
birds the department of agriculture
quotes the following figure*:
lien egga, 00 per cent, water, 1C
per ceut. protein, 36 per oent. fat.
Goose egga, 44 per cent, water, 19
per ceut. protoin, 36 per cent. fat.
Duck egga, 4G per cent, water, 17
per cent, protein, 36 per cent, fat,
Turkey egga, 48 per cent, water, 18
per cent, protein, 33 por cent. fat.
Of courae, farmora underatand that
protein goea to make muacle and
blood, while fat la fuel for running the
machinery of the body. Thus It will
be aeeu that egga, though half or near
ly half water, are extremely nutrltloua,
containing all the elementa required
for the bhlldlng and support of the
body. There Ib no truth, however, In
the old aaylng that an egg containa
aa much nutriment aa a pound of
ateuk. It would be nearer oorrect to
eatimate a pound of egga aa being
equal to a pound of lean ateak in nu
trltloua value.
MAKE PERCHES MITE-PROOF
Made of 2x4 8tuff, There la No Place
for Little Insects to Hide ?
Kerosene Does Work.
The aimpleat constructed perch we
can get, if it gives satisfaction should
be the one to build. There la no
place for the mitea to hide, even,
should they get on theae perches. The
perchea are made of 2x4 atuff with
one edge rounded, the pieces that
form the aupport for the perches are
of the same material as the perches,
also that of the legs, which are one
foot long, which makea the perches
18 inches from the floor. Sufficiently
high for convenience and not ao high

they will bruise their feet, causing
"Bumble-foot," broken legs or breast
bones, 'fho legs should fit the cans
loosely so that In removing 'them to
facilitate cleaning out the droppings,
the cans will not be overturned. The
cans should contain an Inch or two
of kerosene or coal oil at all times,
and there is no possible chance of any
mites* big or little, getting by.
INDUSTRIOUS HEN LAYS EGGS
Fowl 8hould Not Be Compelled to Re
main Idle by Being Cooped Up
In Filthy Quarters.
The hen is naturally Industrious,
and she should not be compelled to
remain idle by being cooped up In
dark, filthy quarters, where draftrf
are prevalent, the floor without some
good, litter and surroundings other
wise unhealthy. Rather encourage
her to work by providing her with
good, comfortable quarters. *
Construct a good scratch abed, but
if this be impossible then construct
a dropping board under the roosts and
place the litter upon the floor of the
coop. - Permit ail the light possible.
Scatter the grain food in the litter
and let old biddy scratch for It to her
heart's Content.
Avoid feeding moldy food and pro
vide drinking water In plenty. During
the bitter cold weather slightly warm
the water for the 'convenience of the
fowls. Remember, the working hen Is
the one that will shell out the eggs,
while the idle one will not lay.
Varieties of Ducks.
Today we have 11 acknowledged
varieties of ducks, vit.: Pekln, Ayles
bury, Rouen, Indian Runner, Crested
White, White Muscovy, Colored Mus
covy,1 Cayuga, White Call, Gray Call
and Hlack East Indians.
For real practical purposes, I only
recommend the first four classes and
in the order that I have named them,?
the Pckin being the most extensively
bred and probably rb good as an all
round market duck as there is today;
but they are the most timid, and con- .
