Since Australia is at the antipodes from us the hens there naturally lay best from May to November, contrary to the habit of hens here. It is now sug gested that if a hen after her annual laying period in the southern hemi sphere were rushed across the equator to the United States she might lay dur ing the rest of the year at the same rate and thus establish a new "record" for a year's production. Still, it looks like a mean trick to play on a poor hen. •-Youth's Companion. Animal Etiquette. No one who is at all observant or the ways of animals can have failed te notice how gentle large dogs, like the SL Bernard and the Great Dane, are to their smaller canine fellows. It la rare that a big dog turns upon one of the little fellows, no matter how aggravating and snappy the latter may be. Instead, he invariably treats the amefl dog's antics with unruffled and dignified tolerance. For there is a recognized code of etiquette unions animals, if you please, quite as much aa there is among human beimrs. In truth, there are not a few respects in which the animals can give points on politeness and good behavior to man himself. All Wrong. The popular actor had become a sol dier. In a hotly contested skirmish he distinguished himself by his conrage and gallantry. "Well, well,", said he at the end of the action, "what do you think of that?

"Have you been good boys?" Silence. "Have you been good boys ?" "No, papa. I called grandma a bad word," said the five-year-old, turning scarlet "Is it possible? What did you call your grandma?" "I called her a human being." The father, with a mighty effort, maintained his gravity and closed the scene decorously.

"I see," said Bilkins, "that a French scientist has discovered a method for staving off old age." "Well, what of it?" demanded WII - "There's nothing new in that A man can stave off old age by jumping off the Eiffel tower, or dropping a lighted match in a powder barrel while Sitting on it or by rocking the boat when he's out in the water, or by rid ing over Niagara falls sitting astride of a log.

The Senate Barber Shop. Here's an odd thing about the Unit ed States senate barber shop: Although the number of senators has hardly in creased at all. the number of shaves nac, increased at a surprising rate in recent years. Tbe reason is simply that the senate is now inhabited large ly by comparatively young men with smooth faces or wearing mustaches at most. and they are obliged to get shaved every little while, whereas the old style senator with a riot of whisk era never had occasion to visit a barber shop except every few months to get his hair trimmed.—Cincinnati Enquirer l-l -j ■ OPEN UP YOUR LIFE. 4* —_ i , T By cultivating our natural ' [ 4- gifts we add to them; by neglect * n low Ittvu- w.vu .iU. - ii2V- J. ~„ * • s.i© i-he tail will never J 1 produce s plant.

The river Tigris appears in the book of Genesis as Hiddekel, one of the four "heads" into which the river of Eden was parted. The name by which we know it does not exactly "mean" tiger, for the correct way of putting it is that both "tiger" and "Tigris" mean in Persian swift as an arrow. "Euphrates" is a Greek version of the Persian Hu frat, which signifies "the good abound ing" and represents the old Asiatic Bu rat or Purat, akin to our verb "pour." Long Livod Tennysons.

It will be noticed that there are no diamonds among these precious adornments. This is accounted fat by the oft quoted story of Stephen's aver sion to such gems because he consid ered them "unlucky." A False Alarm. "I know something, I do. about a member of this family," said little Bobby Slithers triumphantly to his old er sister. Maud. "Oh, dear"' exclaimed Miss Slithers.
