when be died he left a fortune of §1,-

mals that brought visitors to his home
from all over the world.
Born of an ancient and noble family,
he was a pupil of the renowned cadet
oeorps, but before his graduation he ran
away and joined a circus.
But he had no ambition to be an or-
dinary clown. He kept in touch with
politics, with everything that took place
in Russia, and applied to it his wit.
Soon he became an unlicensed censor
of Russian society in motley. Evil he
rebuked by jest and gibe. No man was
in too high a place for his tongue, and
furious officials once brought about his
exile. Russia loved him too well for
that, however, and soon he was back
in the ring. To show that he meant to
be more discreet he appeared with a
padlock attached to his mouth.
He was a very famous animal trainer.

HOW TO SET A HEN
As the time aprroaches for tne Les
t+ become broody or sit, if care is
taken to look into the nest, it will be
seen that ther are a few soft, downy
feathrs being left there by the hen;
also the hen stays longer on the nest
when laying at this time, and on be-
ing* approached will quite likely ro-
main on the nest, making a clucking
noise, ruffling her feathers, and peck-
ing at the intruder. When it is noted
that a hen sits on the nest from two
to three nights in succession, and
that most of the feathers are gone
from her breast, which should feel
hot to the hand, she is ready to be
transfered to a nest which has been
prepared for her beforehand, accord-
ing to the poultry specialists of the
U. 8, Department of Agriculture. The
normal temperature of a hen is from
106 degrees to 107 degrees F., which
varies slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen throughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder

COMFORT HOUSES gr!
(by Samuel G. Dixon, M. D.)
Comfort houses in cities and towns
are essential to the health and com-
fort of our people, yet in Pennsylva-
nia the traveling public that comes to
town for a day or two for sightseeing
is not provided with lavatories or
comfort houses.
These good people, often are strang-
erg in our towns, are driven into sa
loons in search of lavatories, and men
often buy a drink before leaving as
they were real. The effect is startling-
ly realistic and highly amusing. In one |
of the films only recently completed |
there are no less than nine figures, all | |
of them moving about as if they were :
flesh and blood. The rather jerky ac- |
tion serves only to enhance the amus-
ing result,
To appreciate the amount of work
required in making these new films it
must be remembered that each time
one of the sculptured figures moves a
new pose must be made. This means.
in other words, that the camera must
stop until the sculptor goes over each
plastic figure and molds it into the cor-
rect position before he can photograph
it. There are sixteen different poses to
a foot of film. Hence for the ordinary
reel of 1,000 feet there are 16,000 sepa-
rate poses for each figure. Imagine the

On Sundays and holidays, when the |:
stores and taverns are closed, our
visitors are hard set to find places of
rest and comfort. Comfort houses,
kept in sanitary condition, cost some
money, but how essential they are!
The absence of such houses, not on-
ly cause discomfort, but ill health.

in & day of hasty divorces, when
minds are turning to seek ways in
which marriéd couples may live hap-

“DRINK STORM” VICTIMS.
New Study of Why Some Men Go on
Periodic Debauc!.es.
There has recently been organized in
Hartford, Conn., a foundation for -a

the alcoholic question. This research
will have for its object the explanation
of “drink storms,” which attack men

denly plunge into a debauch and use

after which they resume their usual
condition” of temperate living, %
Thi§' subject is treated by Dr. T. D.

New York Medical Record. He says:
“What condition of body and mind fur.

vors the growth in inebriety and .alco-
holism 1s yet to be studied. What laws
of growth, heredity, culture, surround-
ings, nutrition and mental impression
favor the development of the drink evil
are questions for the future.
“Why the degeneration from the use
of alcohol is in one instance slow, con-
cealed and breaking out only after a
lifetime in various diseases; in another
rapid, positive and most emphatic, apd
in a third concentrated on the brain
and nervous system or on the oreans
