In the morn= ing ho found the landlord behind the bar, with a br•uise>eye; ,a piece of court -plaster extending from his cheek[ to his forehead, yet with a. pleasant smile upon his face. Taking his cue from this, Ilarte said tohim: "Well, landlord, you had rather a lively time here last night," "Yes," said the landlord pleasantly, "it was rater a lively time." "Do you often have ouch lively times here,?" asked Harte, emboldened by his cheerfulness, "Well, no," ,replica the' landlord re. fl•ectively. "The fact is we've only just opened here, and last alight was about the first time tho boys 'seemed to be gittiu' really acquainted!" ' This is on@ of the many funny yarne told by Mr. G. B.

He and ra couple of friends were lunching together in New York, The waiter was about to pour out some wine for ono of Mark Twain's companions, when the gentleman it was for prevented him, "What , no wine?" said Mark Twain to his friend, • a "No," was the reply. "I am sixty to- day, and I have never yet drunk a glass of wine, or tasted tobacco, or gambled." "Dear me!" exclaimed Mark Twain. "r wish I could say that." "Why don't you, Mark?" drawled the other member of the party. "Our friend did!" 'u a • *. Only once has Mr. Burgin served•on a jury—a common jury.

POULTRY INDUSTRY I Alberta's rapid expansion as a mixed " farming province 'in recent -years has brought 'about a development of other branches of farming hitherto neglect- ' 0(1,' especially that of poultry raising. Threw years:. ago this 'provitrce was a f heavy importer of eggs. (=bother poul- try prequels' in. order to meet domestic vequirements,.but ,the farmers, realiz- ing that poultry raising was a valuable adjunct; 'to-, their' regular aetivltles, have lately Inmates' production to - such a degree 'that'. the province'' has - mow 'become an. exporter. Last year, it is estimated, the :province produced e over 20,000,000 dozen eggs of a value f of $5,750,000, In addition, some 5,200,- -. 000 pounds of dive and dressed pour- o try, worth $3,120,000, were handled by o commercial houses, malting a total Pre - duction for the year of $8,106,000. This splendid showing is largely due to the activities' of the Provincial Co-operative'Marketing Service, which has now been functioning for about five years. A campaign fol• more inten- sive poultry raising, sponsored bY this organization, brought about a ready response, as is evidenced by the sub- stantial increase batch •year iu the number of poultry on Alberta farina. In 1921 the number of popltly in the Province was 4,063,566. The following year the number had increased to 5 422,139 and- in 1923. had:. further in- creased to .6,63D 163, Last year a new high mark of 7,214,819• was established. Value of Co-operative Marketing Service. The 'rapid increase in both the pro- duction of eggs and live and dressed poultry naturally brought about diffi- culties in marketing: Here, again, the Co-operative Marketing Service was of great value to the farmer. Farmers were Induced to market their products' through the Service and the results Have been highly satisfactory. In 1920, ter instance, the Sevlce handled only 72,289 dozen eggs and 46,423 lbs, of poultry, while last year, it handled 535,- 800 dozen eggs and 750,198 lbs: of poul- try. These: ftgurea,-of course, onlyre- present the products marketed through the Service and do not take into con- sideration the amount handled by com- mercial companies. Up till the end of 1933 practically all the poultry products raised in Alberta were soft_ on the domestic market and in the neighboring provinces of Sas- katchewan and British Columbia and a Pew of the Northern States. However, when production reached she point where these markets were unable to handle the surplus, the Service, in looking about for new outlets, decided. to make a trial shipment of fresh eggs to the united Kingdom, via Vancouver and the Panama Canal. The initial shipment was successful, in fact, so much so, British dealers requested fur- ther consignments, • Since then more or less regular shipments have been made to Britain and consignments to that market, Inst year totalled 60,000 eases of fresh eggs. Further developments: of Alberta's poultry industry is dependent only up on, the markets. Climatic and other, conditions are all favorable to an in- tensive production, and as Iong as thed quality of the eggs. another products is ]sept up to the high standard set by the Provincial Government, there ap- peara to be no reason why Alberta should not become one of the leading poultry provinces of the Dominion.

AS Brei✓ G a missing?, When Jules Verne wrote his fascin- ating story, Around the World in Flighty Days, says the Scientific Ameri- can, he probably did not realize that within a comparatively short period this trip could be made in much short- er time. In fact, Phileas Fogg could now make the complete circuit of the earth .in less than thirty-six days. Numerous journeys around' the world against time have been made by both men and women. The first was made in 1839 by Nellie Biy, in 72 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes. and 14 seconds. George Francis Train made the trip in 1890 in 67 days, 12 hours and 3 min- utes, In 1910 Charles Fitzmorris made the trip in 60 days, 13 hours; 29 min- utes and 42 2/5 seconds, in the race for schoolboys. The first "record breaker" to use the Trans-Siberian Railway was, Henry Frederick, who:' in 1908 made the cir- cuit in 64 days; 7 hours and 20 minutes. In 1907 Col. Burnley Campbell reduced the time to 40 days, 19 hours, 30 min- utes. In 1911 Andrew Jaeger -Schmidt made a record-breaking trip, his elapsed time being 39 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes. and 37 4/5 seconds. This trip: cost $1426, Of that amount only $596 was spent for railway fare and transportation; $600 went in hotel bilis food and tips. The record of JaegeraSchmiclt was 'broken in 1918 by John Henry Mears, who made the trip of 21,066 miles in. 35 days, 21'hou'rs,,35 minutes Mid 4/5 seconds; hs travelled at an average speed of 587 niiles'a day, or 24% miles an hour, During 'the entire trip Mr. Mears slept in a hotel but once, gild that was for two hours in London. The trip coat less than $800; .this includes the liberal tips he distributed along the way and the money' he spent in bribing the engine crew of the Trans - •Siberian Railway.

Father Prout. He was• never weary of searching for 'and repeating stories of his jests and exploits. • In that search, says Mr. C. H. ,Densis 1n Eugene Field's Creative Years, Field' came up- on one anecdote that was destined to play a part in his later social activities. Here it is: It w08 it CUStOn1 with Father Prout to invite a company of jolly good fol- lows from Cork to dine with 1him at his hole at Watergrass Hill. He would seat this company at a table upon which there was no cloth and which was bare of plates, knives and forks. When the guests were seated upon rude forms two lusty servants, would bustle in, bearing a pot of boiler] po- tatoes, and these steaming -hot vege- tables they would shoot along the table between the guests. Then was there a great rushing and ostentatious haste in fetching a wooden vessel filled with cold mills for every two guests, Then Prout would say gravely, "Your dinner Is before you, gentlemen; let us say grace." Eminent jurists, poets, jour- nalists and ecclesiastics would vie with one another in the delicate task of peeling hot potatoes with their fin. gets,: and ' when the joke scorned to have gone far enough the host would rise and announce dinner in the next, rbom. After Field returned to the United States he imitated the Father Prout. joke on various occasions. The best known of these occasions was his cele- brated luncheon at the Union League Club in Chicago in honor of the Rev. Dr, Edward Everett Hale. Preparations for that luncheon gave him great de- light. For days he was bubbling Over with anticipatory mirth as. he planned the menu,, I recall that he was par- ticularly entranced with the idea of serving boiled potatoes "with. their jackets on"—precisely the special viand provided -at Father Prout's din- ner. He added corn bread, corned beef and other substantial fare, with apple pie and cheese for the final course. To partake of this repast and to meet Doctor Hale he invited a large number of friends, both men and women. I remember to have observed there the handsome, ruddy -gray countenance of Marshall Field, the great merchant, Thomas Nelson Page was there. And, as Henry B. Fuller and I were intro- duced to Doctor Bale at about the same moment, I recall With what wafmth the young author of The Che- valier of Pensieri-Vali_ was greeted by the Boston veteran. The guests disposed themselves about the great room, and au army of waiters served them with eatables on latex noised precariously on their lenges. There was an abundance at drink for the thirsty. -Waiters poured t out expertly into fragile glasses tom lordly. champagne bottles swath - d in faultless napery.

It is difficult to Lind any Londoners of the third generation—that is to say, descendants in the third generation 01 people who have lived all their lives in London. Now a scientist is pointing out that the United States is rapidly becoming a nationofdark-haired, bark -skinned people. He says that fair-haired fami- lies cannot survive south of the St. Lawrence, and that unless they inter- marry with dark-haired people they become extinct within three genera- tions. The Saxon 1s naturally hard a,s rails, and if in ordinary good Health can set- tle et tle down and enjoy life even In the Tropics. But if a fair-haired man mar- ries a fair-haired woman and they live in a hot country, their children are roti and in a generation seldom strong, a g nor two they die out. They are, in fact, hilted by the sun. One thing is certain—that blondes are more common in the north than in the south. Seventy per cent, of Swedes and Norwegians are fair, .and about forty per cent. of North Germans, but only about two per cent. of French peo- ple. In Italy less than three thousand of the people have fair skins and: blue eyes, and nearly all of these belong to aristocratic families who have never had to work in the sun.
