Until a few years ago no Spaniard had on bis dining table any other "re ceptacle for aalt than tbe old style open cellar. An enterprising Briton saw this, noted that the salt was al ways dirty and gummy and deter mined to Introduce a certain famous salt shaker from which clean salt would run freely in the dampest weather. Bravely he started to tour Spain for tbe company. "No, senor; no est costumbre usar maa quo esto" ("No, A ; lfs not cus tomary to use more than that"— the Old cellar), was the answer of every dealer to whom he presented the nov elty. Again and again he was re buffed. He began to despair when. Standing one day gazing Into a Jew eler's window, a brilliant Idea struck him. He entered. Realising the chUd llke curiosity and impressionable char, actor o t his quarry, he persuaded tha Jeweler to display a shaker In his Window and coached him about sell ing It A Spaniard came along, look ed 1q tbe window, aaw the curious ob ject, Investigated. "It Is very pretty for the toilet ta ble," be remarked after prolonged scrutiny, "perhaps useful for tbe chil dren. What goes In It—perfume?" Indifferently tbe Jeweler glanced up from some scribbling. "No, Sir; only salt" "Man, salt!" "Yea. Possibly I could get you a lit tle—the kind that doesn't get sticky— t& try. But I don't know." The simple gentleman waa amazed, angry, affronted, by the novelty, but be took It and an ounce or two of the special salt home with him. The Jew eler ordered another shaker and more sainples of salt By and by the gen tleman had used all his salt and want ed more of tbe same kind. The bust next of tbat company today Is worth many figures In Spain every year, and, more than that aa It Is "costumbre" now to use that particular sort of shaker and brand of salt there Is vir tually no competition.—Arthur Stanley Blgga In Century. INSULTED THE KING. The Jeke a Printer Turned en Louie Philippe and M. Thiers. One morning during the reign of Louis Philippe there appeared in the Constitutlonnel tbe following startling paragraph: "Hla majesty the king received M. Thiers yesterday at the Tullerles and charged him with the formation of a new cabinet Tbe distinguished states man hastened to reply to tbe king: "'I have only one regret which is ♦bet I cannot wring your neck Ilk* a cbixey's.'" . A few lines lower down there was another paragraph running to the fol lowing effect: , "The efforts of Justice .have been promptly crowned with success. The murderer of the Bue du Pot-de-Fer has been arrested in a-house of bad reputa tion. Led at once before the Judge of instruction, the wretch had the hardi hood to address the magistrate in terms of coarse Insult winding utf with the following words, which amply show that there remains not a spark of con science or right feeling in this hard ened soul: " 'God and man are my witnesses that I bave never had any other am bition than to serve your august per son and my country loyally to the best of my ability.'" Tbe printer had Just cleverly managed to Interchange the two addresses. Tbe cream of the Joke waa that It waa uni versally known how very little love there was lost between tbe king and the minister.—Stcauas' Reminiscences HOTELS IN PORTUGAL Paying Oner's Bill There Beoomes a Duel In Politeness.

Finally the land lord does reckon up tbe charges on his flnfera. When be baa finished be asks tbe traveler bow much the sum total Is.

' FIGHTING LIFE'S BATTLE. Of Things That Must Be Dene Taekls the Hardest First. • I know a very successful man who early In life resolved that no matter how bard anything might be or bow seemingly impossible for him to do he would do it if the doing would provs of value to blrn, soys Orison Swetl Marden In Success Magazine.

If It would further hit advancement People who consult their moods, their preferences or tbelr ease never make a greut success In life. It is tbe man who gets a Arm grip on himself and forces himself to do the thing that will ultimately be best for him who succeeds. The man who goes through life picking out tbe flowers and avoid ing tbe thorns In his occupation, al ways doing tbe easy thing first and delaying or putting off altogether if possible tbe hard tblng, does not de velop the strength that would enable him to do hard things when necessity forces them upon him.

Keep the dust box supplied with nice clean dust, and see that the grit bo* is never empty. Keeping many breeds is a poor way to succee 1. Get down to one or two varieties and give them the best of care. If the hens were compelled to work a little harder these days for what grain they get, it would bo a good thing for them. As the new corn gets dry and hard it is safe to feed more than when it was soft and green. It is more easily digested and gives better results. Never feed meat sraps that were made of rotten meat. Good, pnre feed is the only thing that ever ought to be fed to a fowl of any kind. During winter the drinking ves sels must be emptied each eve ning; it is much easier to do that than it is to break a solid cake of ice in them the next morning. If it possibly can be done, clean up the droppings each day. It is work that well repays one. Never allow this cleaning to be delayed longer than a week. Leaving the birds to fight their own battles against lice and other enemies may save some work, but it will cost some eggs; and eggs are worth money these days. Do not delay any longer tbe job of culling out the poor stock. It is a mistake to keep even a single unprofitable fowl. Have the stock up in quality rather than in quantity. If the hens are fed hot corn for supper, they will go to bed happy these cold winter nights. Feed it just as hot as they can eat it comfortably. Shell some in a baking-pun and stir and heat iu the oven. As the weather grows colder, in crease the supply of corn. It is a heating food. But never feed .it-aten«. A gw*;.' - mixture for winter Is too parts whole corn, one part each wheat and oats; all well mixed. Many hens uevf r know what it is to be comfortable from one end of the winter to the other, except on a day when it thaws. You can not expect hens to do well under such conditions. To do well they must be comfortable. The worst thing is to make poultry drink ice-cold water; chills them clear through. They must warm that water before the work of digestion can go on again. Warm the water for them—not hot, but just comfortably warm. Start up the trap nests. They are Invaluable in pointing out the productive hens as well as the drones. They make it possible, by picking out the poor layers, to get more eggs from a fewer num ber of hens. This is economy— it saves foed and it gives the workers more room.' It is a good rnle to keep fowls indoors during rainy, snowy or windy weather. While the rains during the summer will do no harm to the fowls, the cold rains of winter are injurious. Expos ing fowls to bad weather is but to invite sickness. Therefore, the more room In the hen house, the more Contented will the fowls be when confined. At this time of the year colds may develop In the flock. It U always the best to nip theee In tho bud. In the first stages a one grain quinine pill each night for a week will be found effective. Remove the fowl to separate and dry quarters. Generally in a week the cold will have disap peared. Colds are caused by ex posure, or bycloaely built bouses, or by overcrowded flocks, making the fowls sweat at night while on tho rooat awl chill wheu they leave their perch tbe next morn ing. Have litter la tbe house, throwing the grain feed amongst it in the evening at feeding time and the fowls will start to scratch ing the moment they get off the roost at break of day. This exer cising warms up the blood and put* the fowls in good condition to appreciate and thoroughly di gest the morning mash.
