It would appear from bits of the so cial gossip of her day that Miss Bur dett-Coutts' nearest approach to an occupation was refusing offers of marriage. It is stated that the name of the "Prince of Adventurers" was connected with hers; that she re fused the duke of Wellington and a score of lesser gentlemen. For years the great heiress was the most glittering matrimonial prize in England, and when at last she con sented to change her condition by marrying an American, a London club wit struck a responsive chord by ob serving.

This curtain, together with the back wall of the house and the droppings board under the roosts formed a closet In which the birds were shut up at night during cold weather. When the curtain front house was first devised It was thought essential to. provide such a closet to conserve the,body heat of the birds during the cold nights when the temperature might go well below zero. Experience has shown, how ever, that this was a mistake. Act ual test shows that the roosting clos et is of no advantage, even in such a severe climate as that of Orono. On the contrary, the birds certainly thrive better without the roost curtain than with it. It has been a general ob servation amongusers of the curtain front type of hcshse that when the roost curtains are used the birds are particularly susceptible to colds. It is not hard to understand why this should be so. The air in a roosting closet when it is opened in the morn ing is plainly bad. The fact that it is warm in no way offsets physiologically the evils of its lack of oxygen and ex cess of carbon dioxld, ammoniacal va pors and other exhalations from the bodies of the birds. For some time past it has been felt that the roosting closet was at least unnecessary, if not in fact a positive evil, says a writer in the Baltimore American. Consequently the time of beginning to close the roost curtain in the fall has been each year lodger de layed. Finally, in the fall of 1910, it was decided not to use these curtains at all during the winter. Consequent ly they were taken out of the house, or spiked to the roof, as the case might be. The winter of 1910-11 was a*severe one. On several occasions the temperature dropped to 30 degrees be low zero. Yet during this winter the mortality was exceptionally low and £he egg production exceptionally high. * In view of this experience the sta tion has decided to discontinue the use of the roost curtain. It would seem to be generally understood or at least unnecessary. MAKING ROOSTS MITE-PROOF Uprights Set in Quart Cans of Water With Kerosene on Top Prevent* Progress of Parasites. (By L. H.

WOULD ALMOST FALLASLEEP During Ordinary Conversation, and Became Breathless After First Few Words. Westhoff, Texas. —Mrs. Evie L. Powell, of this town, authorizes the following for publication: “I had ter ribly nervous, trembling, and smoth ering spells, and became so weak, I could hardly get around. Would al most fall asleep during a common con versation, and became breathless after the first dozen words. I thought I had lung trouble, but found it was all caused from womanly weakness. I then commenced using Cardui, the woman's tonic, and the first bottle gave me relief. Am now feeling fine, and just as wide awake, and as lively as anyone. I know I would have been a wreck had it not been for Cardui, and I do not think enough can be said in favor of this great woman’s medicine. I gained more strength from one bottle than anything else I ever tried. I rec ommend it to all women or girls who are without the glow of health on their cheeks.” These nervous, trembly, smothering spells, which Mrs. Powell describes, are very common symptoms of wom anly trouble, and should be given the proper treatment to prevent a general breakdown. For over fifty years, Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has been building up weak, nervous women to strength and health. It will do the same for you, if given a fair trial. Get a bottle of Cardui today. N.

Poor Charities. There are charity societies, as all the world knows, that qnly give to the poor a quarter or a half cent of every dollar they take in, most of their sub scriptions going for salaries to offi cers and investigators for expensive rentals, etc. 'Richard March, the charity expert of Denver, Colo., was condemning these charities. He said: "A man’s wife shouted up to him the other day: " 'Don’t you think this blue over coat with the strapped-in back is too new and fashionable, George, to give away?' " 'lt’s the agent of the Alpha Incor porated Charities that's at the door, isn’t it?’ " ‘Yes, dear.’ " Then lei the ..oat go,' said George.

Morse, dramatic press agent, met Ralph A. Graves, the dra matic critic, in New York one morn ing. They went down to a barber shop. Graves heard Morse talking to the barber, whose voice indicated that he was at least eight feet tall and in the best of health. "Now,” said the barber, “your hair’s failing out. What you want to do is to have it shingled and singed and then treated with crude oil, ending up with an electric massage and a few other jolts.” Morse, who has a suit of hair like a cluster of copper wire, inquired as to the cost. "One dollar and ninety cents,” re plied the barber. “Proceed,” said Morse, settling back. When Graves got out. of the chair and took a iook at Morse’s barber he rushed over to the victim's chair. "Why, Frank,” he expostulated, "that man who’s treating your hair is as bald as an egg and you’re throwing away a dollar and ninety cents.” "Is he bald?" asked Morse dreamily. “Not a hair on his head," replied Graves. “Well,” explained the victim, gently, "that's why he knows how not to make my hair fall out.” —Popular Magazine.

If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be a picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude, the sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitually con duce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be it is ! important that the condition should be corrected.
