THE QUESTION OF LIFE.
Haa'a I'micrtu* nnd the llookw of the
KC4rIiI?*ciiIIi Century.
In what mankind called "progress"
the world whs led by illusion. advane
etl by Ilea. K very body bated work
which waa the only health. Even the
preacher spoke dolefully of "the curse
of Adam." Everybody waited to he
rich, which meant unhapplneas; every
body wanted to be Idle, which meant
(lentil. Change was regarded as prog j
rpss. and to find one different from
oneself was to tlnd one worse than
oneself. And with all these I sympa
thlzed. knowing them to be wrong.
I had listened to moralists and before
all waa done discerned that a
question of morals was a question of
latitudes, nnd vice related to the equa
tor. Cruelty was a creature of the
thermometer; the tropics tortured
What the arctics nursed. Happiness
\yos born of contrast when It wasn't
born of temperament, and Third ave
nne laughed oftener than Fifth. One
man committed suicide, another gave a

At the dose of a recent divorce case
n woman dictator remarked:
"I knew they wouldn't pull together
very long. The crease made by her
%yeddlng ring proved that. When she
tiud been married six months 1 saw
tier take her ring off one day. The
mark it had left was so faint you could
thirdly see It. You can always gauge
the length of a marriage by the impression
made by the wedding ring. In
eome cases the ring, even though entirely
too large, sinks away into the
thlger. Such a mark as that Indicates
a marriage as lasting as eternity. Other
women may wear a ring as tight
as the skin, yet It will leave scarcely o
citrcak on the flesh. In that case look
out for an early termination of the contract,"

As an Indication of the quality of

an Incident that occurred while
wo were producing "The Children of
the Ghetto." Mr. Zaugwlll was seated
lu my otflce, and we were going over
sonic of the details of the play. It was
the day that Labor!, intimately connected
with the Dreyfus case in Paris,
was assassinated. Knowing that Zang- (
will had Intimate knowledge of the
case, a New York newspaper sent a
representative up to see him. The reporter
entered and after conveying tin*
news Ha id:
"Mr. Zangwill, we want from you a
history of all tlie famous trials you cau
call to mind for our paper."
"Indeed?" said Mr. Zangwill. "1
think I can prepare that for y >u Come
to see me In three or four days, and I
will have it ready."

newspaper man. "We want to print it
In our paper tomorrow morning."
"But you surely don't expect mo to
quote you dates and facts out of my
mind on the spur of the moment, do
you?" asked Mr. Zangwill in astonishment.
"Such a thing Is out of reason."
"I'm sorry, but It's the only way wc
can make use of it," replied the newspaper
man firmly. Mr. Zangwill thought
n moment and then asked If he could
have my stenographer for a short time,
lie was called In, and Zangwill dictated
to him then and there a two column

history, from Savonarola down, and
quoted every important date and historical

MAINE POULTRY HOUSE.
A Structure Which la D?aerr?Alf
Popular Among the Fnrtuera.
In determining the type of fowl
house which Is upt to best serve Its
purpose It Is always well to bear In
mind that, without reference to the
climate In which the structure Is to bo
used, it I* desirable that it l>e Insulated,
thereby enabling the owner to control
tlie ventilation. For that reason the
Maine type of henhouse Is apt to be
pretty close to the right thing. The
building shown in the Illustration Is
popular throughout the coldest portions
of New England and would )>e
qually valuable In any portion of
North America.
It la true that the shingling of the
Ides entails an expense to which
many poultrymeu do not feel at tlrst
warranted in going, but In the end the
plan Is a great money saver, as these
houses, If the shingles are properly
treated before being applied, are practically
Indestructible. The side of the

house containing the windows of course
faces the south. There is a ventilator
In the very peak of the building. This
comes down to near the second tloor.
In the middle of which there is an openlug
to the lirst floor. Thus there is always
ahundunce of ventilation without
the possibility of drafts. The second
floor makes an admirable place in
which to store litter, or it may be used
as a pigeon loft. The floor of the
house proper is of concrete if the building
rests on the ground, but If it is
elevated, which is the better plan, It 1#
of double boards, with tarred felt between
them, thus making it absolutely
rat proof. The uses to which such a
structure may be put and the variations
upon the general plan herewith
illustrated are almost without number.
Poultry Short CutM.
1 "Farmer" Vincent In Farm Journal
^Philadelphia) wisely says:
' When the combs of the fowls begin
to droop and look pale and limp, better
sort them out and get liens with nice,
bright combs.
It is the singing hen that does a
good day's work. Some way with men
folks.
The beef trimt is leading us to trust
more and more in liens.
Change the diet of the hens often.
None of us likes to live all the time
on pudding and milk, good as they are.
About the surest way to fail is to
.crowd too many hens Into ono pen. It
never paid. It never will.
Kind of hard work in wnuh
but tliey look so much better when you
offer tliem for Kale!
Keep the doors closed at night. This
Is the time of the year when enemies
of the biddies prowl around.
Use Kome animal food every day, but
have It good.
Have the feed boxes high enough
from the floor ho that you can sweep \
under them. Suro to be a lot of litter
there.
Ileus do not like to pick their shells
out of a box half full of straw and
cohs. Keep the shells clean by putting
the box up where the litter will
not get Into It.
Expect to learn something about the
chickens every duy.
Tito Old Time "Pip."
Pip Is just one symptom In disease.
It Is Just a dry tongue. Never try to
remove the dry covering of the tongue.
Better hunt the real trouble and cure
that. A "plppy" tongue Is seen in
bronchitis, pneumonia?In fact, in all
diseases of the air passages, says a
writer in American Poultry Advocate.
One tiling I am sure of?that is, that
boiled potato skins never produce trouble.
I see no reason to think that there
is drying quality enough in these skins
when fed raw to give the looks of
pip.
Scurvy In Poultry.
Scurvy is something like eczema,
sorehead or other like ailments. Some
call it white comb in poultry. It comes
from an ailment of the blood, it Is
very difficult to cure. A thorough
treatment with epsom salts, iron and
quinine tonics for a number of months
might remove the ailments it rinna
not Injure tliein otherwise, unless the
sore pieces become lacerated and canker,
When this comes, they should not
be used for food.
A Good Dry Itlanli.
The following ration Is n very satisfactory
dry inash: Twenty pounds
wheat bran and ten pounds each corn
meal, middlings, gluten meal, linseed
meal and beef scrap, the whole thoroughly
mixed. Keep this before the
birds nil the time in a food hopper.
Also give one or two feeds a day of
corn, wheat and oats, equal parts, fed
In deep litter. Oive vegetable food and
green stuff freely.

The Old Clock on the 8tair.
Somewhat back from the village stro* t
Stands tho old fnshloncd country sea*.
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw.
And from Its station in the hall
An undent timepiece says to all:
"Forever?twer!
Never?forever!"
Halfway up the stairs It stands
And points and beckons with Its hand/n
From Its case of massive oak,
Hike a monk, who under his cloak
Crosses himself and sighs, alas.
With sorrowful voice to all who pass:
"Forever?never!
Never?forever!"
By day its voice Is low and light.
But in the silent dead of night
Distinct ns n passing footstep's fall
It echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the celling, along the floor,
And seems to say at each chamber dour:
"Forever?never!
Never?forever!"
Through days of sorrow and of mirth,
Through days of death and days of hlrlk.
Through every swift vicissitude
Of changeful time unchanged it has stood.
And as If, like God. It all things saw.
It calmly repeats those words of awe:
"Forever?^ver!
Never?former!"
In that mansion used to bo
Free hearted Hospitality.
Ills great fires up the chimney roared,
The stranger feasted at his board,
But, like the skeleton at the feast.
That warning timepiece never ceased?
rorcvor?never!
Never?forever!"
There groups of merry children playod.
There youths and maidens dreanaliuc
strayed.
O precious hours! O golden prime,
An ufiluenco of love and time!
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece toM?
"Forever?nevor!
Never?forever!" ,
From that chamber, clothed In white,
Tho bride came forth on her wedding
night;
There in that silent room below
The dead lay in his shroud of snow,
And in the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair:
'' Forever? ri" vcr!
Never?forever!"
All are scattered now and fled.
Some are married, some are dead,
And when I ask. with throbs of pnh^
"Ah, when shall they all meet again?**
As in the days long since gone by.
The ancient timepiece makes reply:
"Forever?never 1
Never? forever!"
Never here, forever there.
Where all parting, pain and care
And death and time shall disappear?
Forever there, but never here!
The horologuo of eternity
Bayeth this Ir essantly:
"Forever?never!
Never?forever!"
