HE American who dreads municipal ownership for fear of its betas ueed to create political machinery and rob the public, and who declares that we must first establish the merit sys tem, may be astonished when he learns the extent of the de velopment of British municipal trading under these condl tloaa. Seeking to fearn "the other side" of municipalization in Great Britain, the investigator is at every turn referred to Mr. Arthur Kay. a dlatlDnilihtd i>iHr#n ???? ???? ? mt the great merchandising Aouse of Arthur ft Company, an the arch enemy of ?nnflclpallcatlon. He to president of the Citizens' Union and the Taxpayers' V>Bde ration. When asked, "Do you think Glasgow should own and operate its trams?" he answered, '^Certainly. The owning and operating of these tram ways. has beea highly profitable and thoroughly satisfactory, and accounting la correct, and qffcodr opposes it." "But you think the trams should ba operated for profit In relief of rates?" "Not at all. They should be run on a low factor of safety, aad proflta be ?ank in betterments or reduction of chargea." "But this Is socialism?" "Well, they call it socialism? municipal socialism.** And this from the gentleman who was to have given the final word against wsnlclpalizatlon! In Great Britain there Is opposition, not to municipal ownership as such, but only to Its excesses.? Tha World To-Day. How We Hear Our Own Voices 0 \ * By Dr. L. Laloy. ? ? ? F a person records on a phonograph a few sentence* pro nounced by himself, togethor with others by his friends, and causes the machine to reproduce these at the end of a brief period, It generally happens that he easily recognized his friends' vetoes, but not his own. On the other hand, the friends recognize his voice perfectly. This singular fact proves that every one hearB his own voice differently from others. As is remarked by Professor Exner. the rfifTrrnnr? 1M la the quality of tone. 1 i must be remembered that one hears his own ?voice not only through the air. as do bis auditors, but across ihe solid parts altuated between the organs of speech and those of hearing. The sound thus produced has a different timbre from that conducted to the ear by the air ?lone. * We may show this as follows: Take the end of a wooden red between the teeth and prooounoe a rowel eeatlnnously. Let the other end be alternately taken between tke teeth aad raised by another person, wheat the same" time ?lope iiis ears. Tke latter will ftadtkat every time he seizes the rod In bis teeth, Ike mod becomes stranger tkaa when it reaches his ear through the air alone, aad haea different quality. Tkescperlment may be varied by applying a wooden j red to tke larynx of tke pew so observed, and touching It from time to time im tke skssrver*s own laryas. As la the preceding case, It will be found that ' Ms paesape through a solid body aspments the Intensity of the sound and mod Hps Its paallty. N#we of the Day.

There waa that unmistakable look of change Sn everything which affects tbe sensi tive nature as the subtle uiarke of age might do, noticed for the first Mmo ou aome familiar and beloved face. John Houston ? emerged from the woods and stood absently leaning up on his gun as he contemplated tbe loifg stretch of meadow land before him. He dreaded the tramp; undeniably he waa growing old. His mirror had affirmed the fact beyond contradiction that very morning? tbf lit tie square looking glass before which he had shaved him self In his own room In tbe one lnu of Mspleton.' Why had he come to this plsce? he Questioned. Ostensibly for hunting, but did be care for bunting? The boys would bare laughed to aee bis clumsy attempts at tbe came. He hod been wise enough not to bring any of them along. He was tired of his friends, wearied to the death of tbe club; worn to tbe verge of satiety with travel, and unre concilnble to bis bachelor apartments ?their liollowness was worse than tbe hollowness of tbe woods. He bad not even brought his valet, the innn bored him so with his automatic attentions. He wanted to go back to bis youthful days again, when wealth had been only a dream, but there had been something Infinitely better in hie life. His phy sician bad said that be was on tbe verge of a nerve collapse, and that he must have rest. He knew it waa not rest he needed, but stir? the stir Of life. Often In these days he was tempted to adopt a child. When Sammy Hous ton's wife died be had made a high bid for the little boy? there was something in tbe child's eyes that made blm think of what be bad lost out of life-* but Hamrny wouldn't let tbe baby go. "I know I'm poor," the young inau said, "but I can take care of my boy. He's all I've got to remember her by." He had not urged the matter, although he had felt his life would he more emp ty than Ham's without the child? Sam bad the memory of hie lere. He knew the men about town, the young men all envied him? longed to attain hie position, his wealth and so cial standing. He hoped they would keep ou doing so, and never know how small the whole thing seemed to him as he etood at tbe edge of the Mapletou woods this dark autumn afternoon. It had been misting at Intervals all day. and the thickly strewn leaves that In the morning had drifted on aromat ic blasts, first this way. then that, were quiet now. and sodden. Tbe wind was rifting again, the inist becoming keenly palpsole. John Houston knew It was setting in for a night of long menaced downpour. The rhenmatlc chills were creeping with Icy clutches up and down bis back. He felt lie must be moving, for a eiege of gout In a place like Mspleton would be unbearable. A? he started forward, something? a gray, feathery thing? started up from a lit tle pond .lust, below In the meadow. He put up his eyeglass; it was a goose. "But a goose Is better than nothing," thought he. "I can't go bnck to that landlord with nothing in my bag/* However, while he whs collecting his scattered senses the goose flew away, making good time, as geese fly, over the meadow.

"Bnt yon are wet." she said. quickly, noting the disheveled condition of the msn. "It's a perfect downpour. Won't you come la and dry your clothes a bltr John Houston did not hesitate. With out reslialng it. he wss thinking of rheumstlsm and of the desolate room st the inn. He psaaed through the nest kitchen into the living room. And such s rostn! He hsd never thought' to aee its like in Mspleton. Long. low. with s bis slag fire at one end. it was filled with surprises of esay lounging Pisces, divans snd cushions.

When she came back with s steam ing cup on s little trsy he wss stand ing before the fire.

His lips were spittle drawn and white. but.when she advanced to aet the tray on the table before him he managed to bring a kind , of smile. Ho took *s step forward. "Agnes!" he .cried. Impetuously; "Ag nes, don't you know me?" The trsy tumbled snd the steaming liquid poured over the white hand, but she did not mind. "John!" 8be warn brMtlilefi. "John, where did you come from?"

"Why did you run away from me, Agnes?" John Housfon asked. "Why? You must ha v.e known, John.' Robert, my brother? he defaulf ed. We were so proud of him, mother and I. WMtMl every oent of that aw ful Indebtedness? then, Robert died. We came here to bury our grief aud our shame. I was afraid of yop;-even of you. 'John? afraid of the disgrace." John Houston rone and stood before the lire again. How , handsome he looked? a man is not realty old at fifty. "I have been all my life on a wild goose chase," he cried, impetuously. She rose, too. the old humorons ten derness on her face and in her eyes. "But you have found your old gray gooae at last," she said.? Grace Allele Pierce, in Los Angeles Times. The Case al Mary. A member of the faculty of the Uni versity of Chicago tells of the sad case of a young woman from Indiana who was desirous of attaining social prominence in Chicago. 80011 after her arrival there she made the ac quaintance of a student at. the univer sity to whom she took a great fancy. Evidently It was at this time that she realized for the first time her early education had beeu neglected, for she said to :i friend: "I suii|>ose that, as he ia a college man, I'll have to be awful cnrcful what I say. What Ml I talk about to him?" The friend suggested history as a safe topic. To her friend's astonish ment, she took the advice seriously, and shortly commenced in earnest to "bone up" in English history. When the young man called the girl listened for some time with ill-con cealed Impatience to his talk of foot ball, out-door meets, dances, etc., but finally *he decided to take the matter in her own bands. She had not done all that reading for nothing; so, a pau?e Id the conversation affording the desired opportunity, she suddenly exclaimed, with considerable vivacity: "Wasn't it awful about Mary, Queen of Scots?" "Why, what's the matter'/" stam mered the student, confused. ">'y gracious!" almost yelled the girl fro- ? Indiana, "didn't you know? W ? . the poor thing had ^er head cut of Harper's Weekly. Th?

It Is doubtful if there Ik nuy branch of the poultry Industry that re quired so much good judgment a? the | selecting of the breeding stock, as they are the foundation of the industry. Pure-bred poultry practically has two value*. A bird that has nice feather markings, although deficient in retil business qualities, has u value wltli the fancier for exhibition. But the bird Hint is not so nicely marked, if plump and a good layer, in likely to make the best breeder, and i9 the bird that has the real business value. For where there is one bird sold for exhibition purposes there are 10.000 sold for what they will produce in the way of poultry and egg*. I admire birds with nice feather markings. But with my twen ty-five years' experience in raising poultry and egg? for market I have found that the highest scoring birds do not always make the most profitable breeders. A bird to be a good, profitable breed er should hnve a medium-sized and in telligent looking head, short beak, large comb and wattles (as they show health and vigor); short neck, broad back, broad, plump, full breast, medium short legH. wide apart, body medium length and not too deep, and with yellow skin. Birds of this type a* a rule niy good breeders and good layers, and as .dressed poultry they command the highest market price.? J. Alon/o Joeoy, in the Massnctiusetts Ploughman.

If the polleu could be kept away from the. stigma of ar fruit flower, might It not be that the fruit would atill grow while the forma tion of needa would be prevented? On that theory scientific apple, cherry, grape and plum growera have been working patiently and quietly. In In diana a woman farmer. Mm. Mary K. Groab. of Nobleavllle. has been endeav , orlng to develop a aeedlew tomato, nod haa at length succeeded. The Cruit la uncommonly fine from these seedlew tomato slips. In general, it appears that where the atrength of the plant haa not to go to the growing of aeed the fruit la of superior quality. In Colorado, similarly. John F. Spen cer. shortly after the aeedleas orango bad come to stay, began working over the problem of bringing out a aeedlew apple. He now anpouncea tba t*he- has attained hia object. The aeedless ap ple* haa at the end opposite the atem n slight hard formation' aowewhat^ike that In a navel orange, but no aeeda. Oddly enough. or perhaps it might have been expected, the seedless apple tree does* not have petalled blosaoms. The apples grow out from little buda like the calyx of a flower. But It wouM be a pity if apple blossoms whould bo done away with! A California fruit grower. I-othw Burbank. has for some years been try ing to get aeedlew plums. He haa suc ceeded to a great degree, but not en tirely. It Is odd that the plum seed la still retained, though its stony coating lias been nearly abolished. Mr. Bur bank believes that he will be able, af ter awhile, to get pluma that are alt pulp. Progress haa been achieved a ten In the direction of atwiltw grape growing, notably in Ohio. As fast as the growers develop anything new they report It to the poxnological department at Waahington. Mr. Spencer has sent a number of his seedless applea there. The best new* of all. however, will probably be that a aeedless Georgia .watermelon has been brought out aa the result of long and patient effort. A Southern watermelon without m>eda would be the perfection of fruits. Am far aa they 'have pianluptid the* me Ion experimenters have obtained a fruit containing only a few aeeds.

Helps to Btglnaan, There Is a vast difference between ft loan who peddles poultry and one who breeds It. To be sure we have botk, but 1 truly believe that for the good of the poultry industry we should, by some mean* or other, drive ever; poul try peddler from the business. I am not speaking now of the liuek ster. whose business It is to sell ft ml buy poultry for market, but I refev to the persons who buy birds from Mber breeders and then peddle them from place to place under the name of the brooder of inch and sucli a variety. I can not nee what glory a man derive* from such a business. There lun.v bo t some consolation in the fact that be "beats" the other fellow at the allows, but what good doea that do the great jmultry fraternity ? Here is a man who has spent year* in bringing a breed of fowls to n blgli place in the poultry world, and when that man wins be haa a heartfelt wills faction that he deserved sll hv got. Can the peddler say so much? I realize that I am on debatable ground, but I believe it is a cause that needs wise handling. Suppose I scud to a prominent breeder and buy a flue cock, take him to New York, ond be wins. Who, then, is the real winner, inyself or the man from whom I bought the birds? And is it right to show a bird that you did not raise, or that does not have the blood of your own si rain In it us being your own? Here is a man who sells eggs to a man who in turn hatches and raises a lot of tine birds, and when fall <<oiues round the man who sold the eggs buys the birds ami exhibits them; in thin ease the birds are rightly his owu; I hey come from bis yards directly; they have his blood in them. I can soe nothing wrong in such work. I must say that It Is little wonder that much of the wind is taken out of the soils of the beginners when we come to see that it does not mean milch to buy birds thot will win. It then be comes not so much -a matter of who has the best skill in rearing poultry; not so much In the business for the pleasure one derives from being able to raise tine birds ns it is to moke money by buying ami selling them. ? it has been my observation that these "peddlers" soon grow tired of their own gome. Just so soon oh the money end of the business begins to lag that soon they seek some other business. Hut not so with the true fancier. Ho Is in the work for w lint pleasure there is in it. ami the money part becomes a secondary matter. A mon who Is now a prominent fan cier, once stood on the floor of o Mg show Just after the ribbons boil been placed, and not seeing first come to hi* , coop, said: "I am going home to work harder than ever, ond the fellows will find out that I can win yet." IIow did he do it? By buying the best bird Itv the land? No. By going Into his breed ing yards ond mating with care tho best birds he had and following it up till the result was birds thot wouUft win. That, man to-day finds muchf pleasure in what he has accomplished* and more than that, he finds a great deal of money in bis wallet. Thai world will reword a true man. !<et hlin who will peddle, but as for me 0 wont to have It sold that what I show! is mine ond not Tom Jones' bird. (Jo It. then, my dear beginners. Tlrer,^ in much room at the top. if you want to be a huckster, be one, but If o trua fancier, be one, and 1 surely heliev* the', every lover of fine hlrds will git* you the welcome hand when once joil put your foot on tho top round of th* ladder.?
