GOWGANDA VERY RICH. to City Speaks About That Territory. Henry S:.

Value of Egg Crop Has Doubled in Ten Years--A Racy Review of the Issue. .By Frederic J. Haskin. Ab>eattle broker has recently placed orders with two Jowa egg-packing es- tablishments for fifty-one carloads of eggs, contracting to pay for these the . | price prevailing at the time of their delivery. This means something like 7,344,000 eggs, their total weight will 'be 336 tons, and if the selling price in towa is 20 cents a dozen, the Seattle Sroker will pay $122400 for the lot. And these will not by any means con- stitute the entire number of eggs that will be consumed in that city during the Alaska-Pacific-Yukon Exposition, which will be held from June 1st to October. 15th, when hundreds of thou- sands of visitors from all over the country will be there. As one part of lowa alone furnishes 13,000,000 eggs a year, the Seattle de- mand will not produce a dearth of eggs im that state. In April a New York firm ordered twenty carloads of eggs from Kansas, Greater New York con- sumes 9,000 cases of eggs a week. As the number of cggs in a case is either thirty-two or thirty-six dozen, this means at least only 404,000 eggs a day or the city's tables, many hundreds not being able to afford eggs. It is redicted by expert authorities that the :arly crop will be short because far- seeing packers, anticipating a later price f 45 cents a dozen, and encouraged by ast season's good prices, are beginning 0 store eggs. lew products have increased so apidly in value as have eggs. Where he 1900 census showed a poultry and gg valuation of something under $300. 00,000, the latest census of the Bureau st Amimal Industry of the National department of Agriculture shows that his valuation has reached $600,000,000. )i this Kansas alone produces $10,- 00,000 worth.

Peta- uma, in Sonomo county, California. Seventy-five per cent of the people in that country are poultry and egg raisers those in the towns and villages raise for their own needs and sell the sur- plus stock. On. the small farms from 1,500 to 1,800 hens are kept, and on the larger ones the hen population ranges from 3,000 to 15000. There are said to be a million white Leghorn hens in that county, a specialty being made of that breed, for they are considered the best layers and rarely care to sit. Each of these hens nets its owner never less than so cents a year, all laying 10, 000,000 dozen eggs Mm 1907. man in this county makes an annual profit of $6,000 on eggs, having two helpers and the three devoting their entire time to the business. Cs Poultry and egg raising is declared to be strictly a man's business, requir- ing the exercise of the very faculties that make a successful lawyer, business man or farmer, and requiring an ex- penditure of energy and time that are too great a tax on the average woman. Common sense and business sagacity are two valuable assets for the emter- prise, : Eggs are best preserved in cold stor- age. This is the decision reached after hundreds of ways were tried and count- less experiments made. An absolutely sterile atmosphere at a sufficiently low tempera:ure and with a proper degree ot humidity will preserve eggs inde- finitely. Eggs from corn-fed chickens will keep best. A man at Buzzards Bay pickles fifty barrels of eggs a year in brine and guarantees that they will frost when beaten a half year later. Other experimenters have packed them in chaff, bran, sawdust, dry sand, salt and charcoal--anything that will ex- clude air. Others have wrapped them in unsized paper and placed in cool cellars. [Eggs have been preserved. in water glass, a silicate of potash or soda that coats thew; they Re been disinfected and coated with vaseline, or a mixture of paraffin, linseed oil, tur- pentine and fats, while some have been immersed in a solution of glycerjfie and salicylic acid.

ADMIRABLE CRICHTON. a Master of Arts at Twelve, Died When Only Twenty-Two By His Own Sword, Which He Handed to a Defeated Foe. On July 3rd, 1583, in a night en- counter in Mantua there died a boy of twenty-two who in the last eight years of his life was the wonder and admir- ation of the chivalry and "learning of Burope. This was James Crichton of Cluny, best known by the ticle given him by the French--the Admirable Crichton. He was made a master of arts by the University of St. Andrews in his twelfth year. He knew all that insti- tution of learning could teach him when he was fourteen. At the age of fifteen he met in gublic debate on all subjects ¥many , of the>best nfinds in France and vanquisfed them all. He knew all the learning of his day. He was a master of twelve languages. He had a memory so wonderful that, hear- ing a discourse of any length, he was able afierward to repeat it word for word and duplicate every gesture of the speaker. He was a poet, a musician of excellence, an athlete, a horseman, This Marvel, he was nineteén, a wonderftil actor, a swordsman of extraordinary skill. Crichton's family royal descent His father advocate first to Quetn Mary md aft erward to King James VI. His mother was the daughter of Sir James Stewart, Members of both families were eminent in Scottish history. The boy James Crichton was sent to grammar school at Perth. He emerged at the age of ten and immediately entered the fam: ous University of St. Andrews. The students there were "divided ifito' what were called circles, according to the talent they exhibited. Crichton ad- vanced from one circle to another un: ti, when he was barely past eleven, the university turned him out with the degree of master of arts. If was' the custom of young men of the time to finish their - education by making the grand tour of Europe. Crichton; sup- plied with letters from his family and relatives to the nobles of the French court, went to Paris first, His first action on arrival was to post a challenge in all parts of the city offering to meet all comers at the College of Navarre in debate in any one of twelve languages, @in any sci- ence, liberal art, discipline or faculty, whether practical or "theoretic."

"Girls," she said suddenly, "will you look!" . Her three companions. turned their exquisitely coiffured heads with a jerk, "Of all things," they ejaculated, and their amazed eyes met. | "It is Charlotte," they" exclaimed in a second breath. As if some echo OF the word had reached the waitress at the table across the room, she,curned, and with perfect- ly immovable face gazed on them. But deep dean in her eyes was a sparkle of mischievous recognition. Presently she came to order, "Charlott take their Stetson," Inez began, but the waitress' leaned over on pretense of | brushing away the crumbs, "Hush," [she warned. "Nobody knows me. This [is supposed to be a dark disguise--" i She brought the soup and chops and | salad and sweets, and they, too inter- | ested to eat, watched the perfection of her service as she filled glasses, carried trays, placed doilies, made out the check, and pocketed triumphantly the tip which Inez maliciously left on the mahogany. : vif £4] "Where in the world did she Iéarn to 'do it?" Inez demanded as the door closed behind them and they made their way to their motor, : "Charlotte always could do things," Maf@aret said. "But why, why is she doing it--waiting on tables in a tea room?" "Perhaps she has lost her money," Mazie Wight suggested. "Lost nothing," Inez said, elegantly. "Why she can't lose it, Dad told us only the other night that nobody made suchi safe investments as her father had done." "Then why--?" Mary Lenox : de- manded, and they shook their "leads and gave it up. But the next day they were back again in the tearoom at 1 o'clock. "Charlotte! You've got to tell us!" Inez said to the expert waitress. "Why are ypu doing such a thing?" oh Charlotte planted the menu card in front of her friend.

The king gave him an_ important com- mand in the army. He remained in France two years, dazzling the people with his accomplishments in every di- rection. Crichton went next to Rome and Venice. In the latter. city his friends were Sperone Speroni, one of the most learned names in Italian literature; John Donati and Lorenzo Massa, secre- tary to the republic of - Venice. Sev- eral of the Latin poems Crichton com- posed in this circle have survived. We was introduced to the doge and the senate and in their presence delivered an orafion so 'graceful and eloquent that, according to Imperalis, "he was esteemed a prodigy of nature" The Venetians were enraptured over his elegant manners, his learning and ac- complishments. Crichton went to Pa. dua to debate on the philosophy of Aristotle, then a subject absorbing the educated minds of all Europe. The argument lasted three days, and the handsome young Scotchman was an easy victor over all opponents. At Mantua a fam®us Italian duelist | lived who had vanquished many an- | tagonists. Crichton sent him a chal- | lange and next day ran the Italian through the body. The Duke of Ban | tua engaged him as tutor for his' son, Vincenzo di Gonzaza. The court of Mantua 'was celebrated for its patron- | age of the Italian drama, The finest | troupe of actors in Europe, denominat® | ed 1 Gelosi, was attached to it.. Crich- ton composed a species of comedy for the company, satirizing the weaknesses of the varied occupations in life, then undertook to sustain himself the most prominent and difficult characters in the piece. Even the actorsiwere carried away with enthusiasm, so marvellous was Crichton's acting.

"Can you make room for five at your table?" he asked Inez. His eyes fell on the trim waitress, He gasped. "Why--why--" and as Charlotte whisked herself away, he turned to Inez. "How much that girl looked like Charlotte Stetson." "Jt is Charlotte." Inez's tugubrious. "Poor thing." "Why ?* Reginald demanded: 'poor thing?" "She has lost everything and has to work."
