TIIH CITHERN, FRIDAY, FEU. 4, 1010. HOTEL BILL 475 FOB ONE 11 American Visitor to Paris Paid It, Too, Explanations Would Have Been Difficult "MADAME" THERE THREE MONTHS She Was Attractive, "Stranded" and Tearful, He Kind and Sympathetic), so He Settled Both Accounts Now a Sadder, but Wiser Man, Paris, Frnucc. Paris is hy no means a chenp town; some, indeed, find it expensive.. One man, an Amer ican, has found it exorbitantly so. Ho remained but nineteen hours In loroly Paris, and his hotel bill amounted to 2,37 If. 20c.! And what is more, ho settled tho account because of the somewhat strange circumstances In which he became responsible for It. These were ns follows: --Arriving at the Gare Snlnt-Lazare by a boat train from Cherbourg, he did not claim his luggage at once, and it was sent to the left luggage oftice. Late the same afternoon he returned to get it out. The depot was almost deserted, but tho American's kindly eye espied a young woman, attractive looking, a fellow country woman, who was sob bing. He did what any other man would do. He went up to her and in quired whether he could be of any service to her. She related her case. She had, sho said, Just arrived from Cherbourg and was to have been met by friends. But they were not there, and she was stranded in a foreign country and to tally ignorant of the language. The American, a man of a certain age, bade her dry her tears and told her she must consider him at her en tire disposal. Thoy left the station together, and it was decided that they would send a telegram to her friends telling them to fetch her early next morning at a certain hotel where the young woman wished to stop. The telegram was sent. The next diffi culty arose as to the registering. The young woman would not stop at the same hotel unless sho passed as his wife. To this the kindly American agreed, and two rooms on separate floors were duly taken by the "hus band." Next morning the American, who was eager to catch an early train for London, went down to the cashier and asked for his bill. It was handed to him with marked eagerness; it to talled 2,371f. 20c! "What! for one night?" exclaimed the man. "Excuse mo, sir," politely respond ed the hotel clerk, "you have only been here a night, but inadame, who has gone ahead. Is waiting for you at the Lyons station with her luggage, has been here for three months, and, monsieur, you have no Idea how anxi ous she was that you should arrive. But. you see, monsieur, how could we tell If madame was really married?" THE ACTRESS AND THE KAISER. Talk on Love at a Hunting Lodge Scandalizes the German Peers. Berlin, Germany. Germany Is di vided Into two camps over the pro priety of a causorio on "L'Amour" de livered recently by the French actress Jeanne Granler before the Kaiser at Prince Donnersmarck's hunting lodgo at Neudeck. The text of the little lecture as it has leaked out shows that the actress talked freely on the delicate subject. Among other things she maintained that actresses were specially qualified to teach kings how to love. A controversy was aroused by a letter to a Rhlneland paper deploring the new blow thus given to the mon archy and declaring that it must ex cite disgust in all virtuous German men and women. The writer, who takes the position that love is not a fit subject for Jesting, angrily urgeB that Germans hold very different views from the French about it. He suggests that the Kaiser should have left tho room while the actress was spoaking. The Berlin papers defend the recita tion as a harmless amusement for a party of huntsmen. Cripples Fight for "Firm's" Crutch. Kansas City, Mo.. In a saloon at Fo"rth and Main streets two cripples fo-ght fiercely for a crutch. Thoy make a living by begging and possess ed only ono e-uvh between them. They were Hlnniltaneoiicly seised with a desire for industry and disputed over their common property.

How would the schoolboys of to dav enjoy wearing gayly-floworcd ve!s, Ine blue or red stockings and blue plush breeches? This was only a part of the gay apparel worn by schoolboys of two centuries or more ago. There wero few public schools In thoso curly days, and tho boys who attended "pay schools" wore very particular about their apparol. A single example will glvo a good Idea of tho contents of ono small trunk of a boy leaving homo for Fcl-ool. A lad about 10 years old, named John Llvlngstono, was sent from New York to school in New England In the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. An account of his now linen and clothes has bern preserved. It reads thus, in thf old spoiling: Eleven new shirts. 4 Pair lacfd sieves. 8 Plane Cravats. 4 Cravnts with Lace. 4 Strlpte Wnstcoata with black buttons. 1 Flowered Wastccoat. 4 New osenbrlg britches. 1 Gray hat with a black ribbon. 1 Gray hat with a blow ribbon. 1 Dousln black buttons. 1 Dousln coloured buttons. 3 Pair gold buttons. Silk & Thred to mend his Cloatnes. 3 Pair sliver buttons. 2 Pair Fine blew Stockings. 1 Pair Fine red Stockings. 4 White Handkerchiefs. 2 Speckled Hnndkcrchiefs. 5 Pair Gloves. 1 Stuff Coat with black buttons. 1 Cloth Coat. 1 Pair blew plush britches. 1 Pair Serge Britches. 2 Combs. 1 Pair new Shoes. "Osenbrlg" was a heavy linen. Other schoolboys of that date had deerskin breeches. Little boys, Just as soon as they could walk, wore clothes precisely like their fathers doublets, which were warm double Jackets; and leather knee-breeches, leather belts and knit cap. Phila delphia Record. The Animals Must Sleen. The following notice Is said to I have been posted up by order of the mayor In a small parish In the up per Pyrenees: "Seeing that the young people of the parish are accustomed to as semble every Sunday after mass to dance, and that the noise which they make frightens the hens, cocks, pigs and other domestic animals of the village, and that the result Is a fall ing away Injurious to agriculture, we hereby prohibit the dnnees dur ing the hours that the domestic ani mals take their repose." fieeds nre Food. Tamarind seeds are to be reckoned among the fairly nutritious plant products that have been reported to provide food during periods of fam ine in India, says Nature. The pulp of the fruit Is an esteemed ingredi ent of certain eondlments. The ker nels of the seeds when freed from the skin and roasted furnish a not unwholesome flour, suitable for mix ing with cereals to make small cakes. Special Tet of Timber. An example of the progress of the science of forestry In this country is furnished by the co-operation Just arranged between tho University of Idaho and the United States forest service for testing the timber grow ing In the State of Idaho. Tne tests will be specially dircted to deter mine tho fitness of these timbers for use as bridge stringers, railroad ties and paving blocks. Sapphires of Different Colors. To say that anything Is "as blue as a sapphire" is to make use of an Incorrect comparison. Sapphires are not exclusively one color. The sap phires of Ceylon vary from a soft blue to a peacock blue, which last Is practically a green. There Is also a red sapphire, sometimes railed a Ceylonese ruby. Further, many fine sapphires are yellow or white. Thorewu's Sensible Answer. When the forest-haunting hemlt Thoreau lay on his deathbed, a Cal vlnlstlc friend called to makr In quiry rcgardlnc his soul. '"Henrr." he said, anxiously, "have 7011 ma :e your peace with God?"

Falling to got n prom iso from tho teachers for ns long n recess as they thought they should havo, largo boys of tho Oakdalo Pub lic Schools tried llmburgor cheese with startling effect This wns brought out when nine boys wero placed under arrest, charged with malicious mischief, on warrants Issued by Justice of the Peace U. G. McMur ray, tho complainant being made by the School Board. Oakdale Is a hamlet about fifteen miles from Pittsburg, nnd it has a school of ten rooms. When D. Loss Dickson, Warren, Wallace nnd Clm-les Leltcr of last year's class, who aro now students In Grovo City Collego, reached home and found there was to. be a short vacation season for the old home school thoy are alleged to havo Introduced some college Ideas Into the heads of the youngsters. In any event Dickson, Wnllaco nnd Letter wero the first three arrested. Thero is doubt as to the time the hearings will be held, since Ida Stevens and Gertrude Mortimer, who wero two ot four teachers who fainted In the schoolroom owing to tho strong odor of cheese, are In bed and may not bo able to appear against the lads. A committee of the boys called on R. C. McKclvey, the principal, nnd asked for a longer recess than usual. This was refused nnd tho boys left him threatening to get even. That night the school was broken Into and the llmburger cheese smeared over every heat radiator In tho building. At the same time cheese was placed In side each radiator. The teachers tried to teach In the hot, close rooms with the llmburger cheese, but they could not do it with success, nnd all became ill. After the school wns dismissed ono of the boys was heard to say boastfully that they had fixed matters so there would be no school for a long time. Aside from the three Grove City CoMege students arrested wero Merl Herron, Frank McKnlght, Harry Mc Knlght, Roy Letter, Bruce Dodds and Clyde Dodds, all boys of the school, who admit placing the cheese, but say the older boys put them up to It. TO NORTH POLE IN 24 HOURS. This Is the Dream of Professor Moore, the Weather Man. Washington, D. C. Looking heav enward, with a weather eye out for amazingly quick traffic facilities be tween New York and the North Pole. added a bit of "ginger" to a statement made before the House Committee on Agriculture by Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, and president of the Natlonnl Geo graphic Society. Dr. Moore was explaining his offi cial estimates for the coming fiscal year, particularly in connection with the Mount Weather, Virginia, kite ob servation station, nnd he suggested to the committee that "we are advancing so rapidly that it is a dangerous thing to say anything is impossible. "I assuredly look forward," he add ed, as he Joined the committee in laughter, "to the time when pas sengers will embark in nlumlnum cars in aeroplanes, lighted and heated by electricity, and sail up and around the North Pole in from twenty-four to thirty-six hours, and return to New York. But we have no estimate here for that kind of work, Mr. Chairman." EVOLVES WINGLESS CHICKEN. Fine Monument Will Be Due This Man from Suffering Boarders. Alton, 111. Chicken wings will dis appear from Alton bills of fare when the new wingless chickens, raised by W. A. Bertman, an Alton chicken fancier, become common. Bertman has found that wings de crease the value of chickens in cities nnd towns by making their confine ment In yards more difficult. He con ceived the idea of crossing common breeds with the Wynndottes and the barred Rocks, whose wings nre small er in proportion to their weight than those of other chickens. After scvernl reasons ho hns pro duced a fowl which has only a few plnfeathers where nature meant wings to be, and which cannot Jump a fence higher thnn two feeL It will be easier, Bertman says, to fatten chickens which do not reduce their weight by tho exerting of Hying. This will compensate by putting more flesh on drumsticks and wishbones, for the ultimate atrophy and disap pearance of tho wings. MOTHER EARTH STILL YOUNG. Not 100,000,000 Years Old, but Only 60,000,000, Says Prof. Devls. Cambridge, Muss. "We nre now able to tell almost exnrtly the age of this earth," said Prof. William Morris Davis of Harvard in a lecture at tho Lowell Institute, "It has existed CO,- 000,000 years, not 100.000,000 years. We are able to tell thlti by an examl nation of the cliffs 1n Arizonn and Utah, where the time tnken to lay down deposits can be easily coin pnted. "The Grand Canyon of the Colora do Is another excellent place far these estimates. The time taken for the river to cut the canyon, mutlplled by the figure representing the ratio of the ago of tho canyon to tho country about It, gives tho ago of the earth almost accurately. "A fair -way of estimating the age of tho earth Is by comparing tho un derground temperatures of to-day with thoso of years ago, and comparing the condition of tho sun's life to-day and years ago." TREATMENT OF 8ICK FOWLS. HIgh-Prlced Chicken May Be Saved for Breeding. In tho majority of cases tho sick fowl should be killed, says the Fann ers' Hovlew. Gcneralty It docs not pay to doctor sick fowls, and often tho sick fowl that recovers Is not the ono that amounts to nnythlng afterwnrd. This Is particularly the case with fowls sick with the roup. This dis ease seems to permeato every flbor of tho birds, and If they recover at all they are of little value for a long time. It Is doubtful If thoy ever fully recov er their vigor. If ono owns a high priced bird It may prove to bo prollt able to cure It for tho sake of tho eggs that it may produce, which eggs may bo UFcd for hatching other high-priced birds. But a fowl that has been sick and has been cured should not be sold to an unsuspecting customer. The fowls that are to bo doc tored should be given good food nnd good surroundings rather than any thing else. Their natlvo vigor will help them to recover when medicine would be a detriment. Sunshine is an Invlgorator and mny well be consider ed a great help In the doctoring of fowls. Death to Vermin. Towls suffer probably more from vermin than from any other cause. A little care exercised In cleaning poul try houses will go far to prevent tho presence of insects such as infest fowls and their abodes. It is well to have the poultry houses furnished with movable furniture; that Is to say, to have the nests movable and also the roosts. An application of kerosene to these, when outside of the house, will not only prove fatal to the In sects, but will, further tend to keep them nway. Then, a good whitewash ing of the Inside of the house a couple of times a year will act similarly. Sul phur may be occasionally dusted Into tho nests. Some Insect powder may then be applied to the bodies of the hens when Infested. The Insect pow der may be applied through the medi um of a small bellows. The feathers may be opened and It may then be blown In or dusted In by some other method. Two or three applications are usually necessary to make a complete finish. The removal of the surface of the floor, if an earthen one, two or three times a year Is also im portant. The material used for filling In should be sand, or dry, porous earth. Precautions of the character J-ist mentioned will be of immense advantnge to those who keep poultry and especially to those who keep them on a large scale. Standard Golden Wyandottes. One of the handsomost breeds of the Wyandotte family. Raiting Pigeons. A good knowledge of the flock is essential to best results In mating birds. Pigeons with the greatest nuuv ber of similar good points and with fewer similar faults should be mated. Desirable qualities mny be Introduced into the flock by careful selection and mating of pigeons having those par ticular characteristics desired. Tho birds mated should bo In the best con dltion possible. To Prevent Egg-Eating. Prevent egg-eating by preparing for It In the fall. If nosts aro so situated that the -gga ore not In sight of the owls during the day tho birds rarely get Into the bablt. Exposed nests should have a sllttod curtain of heavy dark-colored cloth hanging before them. The hens will And their way through the curtain to lay and after leaving the nent arc not apt to eat eggs unless they Ho In plain sight. Success In Poultry. A successful poultry raiser started in the business for an experiment. He had several varieties of heavy bird and kept books on them from the time they hatched till they laid. He also recorded as nearly aa posulble the number of eggs each laid and now he has discarded all but one breed and has a well-developed laying strain. It Is unnecessary to add that he It m&k Ing a success of his business. Trap Netts. Get lu line with n few trap nests and test out the best of the pullets. Then use their eggs for hatching next spring and thus begin the Improve ment of your flock. Have Something to Sell. If possible try to have something to sell all the time. The person who only disposes of poultry products when every one else Is doing so Isn' very smart. TALISMANS IX MALTA. Odd Shaped Stones to Ward Off Ef fect of Snako Potion. Thero nre still to ho found In Mal ta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the ryes, tongues and other parts of serpents. Tho supcrstltutlous among the Maltese connect these with the tra dition that St. Paul when ship wrecked wns cast on their Island, and that It was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for ti Pro a vlpor fastened on the Ar--" 's hand.
