"The man is admittedly a good fellow, but an'augel be is far from being. "You've heard of the Frenchman, perhaps, whose sweetheart spent the lummer In America? After her return tfys poor Frenchman seemed quite blue.' '"What's the matter with you?' a friend asked. " 'I am worried,' the other muttered, 'about my fiancee. You see, since her return from America she kisses so much -better than she used to.' " He Was a Boston Boy. "Your little boy must be very intel ligent," said a visitor to a Boston school teacher whose five-year-old son was forming Greek words with build ing blocks. "Intelligent!" exclaimed the proud parent. "He is phenomenally gifted. Ap an example of his early erudition, what do you suppose was the first words he ever spoke?" '"Papa and 'mamma'?" "Stuff and nonsense!" ejaculated the father in a tone of disgust. "Why, the day he was 12 months old he sud-. denly laid down his algebra and said to me: 'Father, the longer I live the more indubitable proofs I perceive that there is In Boston as much cul ture to the square inch as there ever -vasj in the ambient area of ancient Athens 1" i STOPPED SHORT Taking Tonics, and Built Up on ! Right Food. The mistake 13 frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics drugs. New material from which to rebuild wasted nerve cells is what should be supplied, and this can be obtained only from proper food. "Two years ago I found myself on the verge of a complete nervous col lapse, due to overwork and study, and to illness in the family," writes a Wis consin young mother. "My friends became alarmed be cause 1 grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. I took various tonic3 prescribed by physicians, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me and I gained no flesh nor blood. "Reading of Grape-Nuts, I de termined to stop the tonics and see what a change of diet would do. I ate, Grape-Nuts four times a day, with cream and drank milk also, went to bed early after eating a dish of Grape-Nuts. "In about two weeks I was sleeping soundly.

They mrm sreaatBe, true, and foil of kanaa gmtttrmU eUflET 1r (chl f AC omer in By ELEANOR Cruger The Cruger family, as the name shows, dates back to the time of the Crusades, Cruger was originally Cru ciges, and was the Medieval Latin word for cross-bearer, from the words "crux," a cross, and '-'gere," carry. From Cruciger ,the name became Creuziger and Creutzinger, and final ly Cruger, and , in Germany and Hol land, Kruger. . The name ..was first given to a knight in one of the Crusades, at the end of the eleventh century, and from him the family spread through out Germany, Holland, Denmark and England. One Casper Crucigar, a German, helped Luther translate the Bible in 1532. In 1190 Sir Philip de Crucuger went with Richard I. of England on the third crusade to Palestine. Sir Philip Is supposed to have descended from the German baronial house of Von Cruger or Kru ger, and from him the line is unbro ken down to John Cruger, the founder of the American family. About 1700 this .lohn Cruger, an Englishman of good education, ap pearance and standing, came to New York. He went into business and also into politics; in 1712 he was made alderman, and for 22 consecutive years he held this office. Five years after giving it up, in , 1739, he was made mayor, and continued in this capacity until his death in 1744. He is spoken of as a man of tact and dis cretion. In those days it was very difficult for a mayor to keep peace between the people on the one side, who were jealous of their rights, and the governor on the ether, who was Ives Ives, Ivie, Ivys, Ivins, Ivison, St. Ives, and also Eve, Eves, Eaves, Eve son and Evans are names supposed to be derived from the town of St. Ives, England. This town was thus called in honor of St. Ive, a Persian mission ary of early days. Drayton, in a pc.em, thus gives the story : From Persia, led by zeal, St. Ive this island sought. And near our eastern fens, a fit place, finding taught The faith; which place from him alone the name derives. And of. that sainted man has since been called St. Ives. A person living at St. Ives might be "of Ives," or "de Ives" or "dTves," which was finally shortened to Ives or Ive. The Norman form of the name was lvo. Other near relatives of the names Ives are Ison, Ivett and Ivatts. An old Hebrew form of Eve, It may be mentioned, was Havah, which was an other name for Eve of the Bible. Eve means, as we are told, the mother of all. It is not impossible, however, to ac count for all these names by referring them back to Ivan, meaning John. The family has its history all along the ages, and Its romance. There was the famous antiquarian, John Ives, who was also the "Suffolk herald ex traordinary." He was born in Great Yarmouth, 1751, and "the son of an opulent merchant." Some of his man uscripts are in the British museum. But this is of but trifling importance compared with the romance which adorns the pages of Its history. For he eloped. What wouldn't anyone give for an eloping great-great-grandfather? This grandfather and Sarah, daughter of Wade Kett of Lopham, eloped. It was midsummer, the "silly season;" each was young and foolish and didn't know any better. William Ives of London came over in the Truelove, 1C33. He was a free man and one of ' the proprietors of New Haven, where he died, 1C48. His name is oue of the number found in the civil compact dated June 4, 1C33. One of his sons was Joseph, whose son Samuel was a Maine colonist. Wil liam's (the pilgrim) widow married William Bassett. Another immigrant was Miles Ives, who was also from England. He wa3 first at Watertown, Mass., and afterward at Boston. His wife was Sarah and they had a large family. Others of the Ives family of those days were John, at New Haven, 16C9, and Joseph, a proprietor of New liauiphir. n Ancestors LEXINGTON Family jealous of the king's rights. But Cruger seems to have accomplished this task. In 1702 he married Maria, daughter of Hendrick Cuyler of Albany. They had five daughters, Anna, Maria, Sa rah, another Maria, for the first died of smallpox, and Rachel; and three sons, Tileman, Henry and John. Althoiigh John left no descendants, he is by far the most interesting of his generation. He showed unusual ability even as a child. From 1754 to 1755 he was alderman and from 1756 to 1765 he was mayor. He was the first speaker and president of the first colonial assembly, and he was a member of that body for 17 years, from 1759 to 1775. He wrote the fa mous "Declaration of Rights and Grievances" adopted by the Stamp Act congress in 1765, the first notable piece of political writing in our his tory, and said to be the model on which Jefferson based the Declaration of Independence. He also started the movement which led to the establish ment, 176S, of the New York cftamber of commerce, modeled on the English board of trade, and the first mercan tile society established in America. He died in 1791. The most interesting member of the next generation is also the one who left no heirs. His name was John Harris Cruger, and he married Anne, daughter of Brig. Gen. Oliver De Lan cey of New York and the British army. When war was threatened De Lancey raised a brigade, called "De Lancey's battalions," for the "defense of Long island and other exigencies;" and he commissioned his son-in-law, who was strongly in sympathy with his mother, country, lieutenant colo nel. Cruger's military record was brilliant. Among other things he com manded Fort Ninety-Six in South Carolina when it was attacked, and he forced the American general, Na thaniel Greene, to raise the siege. After the war he went to England, and died there. The late Stephen Van Rensselaer Cruger vas brevetted for gallantry in the Civil war. He was in Europe when hostilities broke out, but he hur ried home and went to the front. He was terribly wounded at Resaca, and was honorably discharged. As soon as his wounds were healed he begged to be reinstated, and was with Sher man on his march to the sea.

Motto (beneath the wreath): Fides. Family Wallingford, Conn., was another home of the Ives. John Ives married Mary and had eight children, of whom one was Gideon, born 1G80. He is called Ensign. His wife was Mary Royce and their family num bered a dozen minus one. One son was Joel, which was a favorite name for a few generations. The Ives have fighting blood and in every war were always to the fore. Some of the most important photo graphic devices are the invention of IYZS Frederick Eugene Ives, born in Litch field. Conn., 1856. An artist of the family is Halsey Ives, knight of the Order of Danebrog, and also a knight of the Order of Vasa, decorations be stowed by Christian IX., 1891, and by the king of Sweden, 1895. The coat of arms reproduced is: "Argent, three torteaux, between two bends, gules." The torteaux, or roun dels, of heraldry symbolize manchets or communion wafers. This coat- armor, judging from the charge, is an ancient one and probably was be stowed upon a crusader knight. Moftrs' heads and goats are the charges of other Ives arms. The Ives of Northampton, England, had goats as their heraldic charge. Burke's "Peerage" blazons two coats of arms for the Eve family and they, too, must be very ancient. One is "quarterly, sable and or." The other is "barry of ten, argent and purpure." In the beginning of things, coat-armor was little more than one charge upon the shield. Rcpanling the second coat, the metal argent (silver), signifies peace, sincerity, purity and innocence; pur pure (purple), royal majesty, sorer ciittj and iuatits. COST OF FEEDING CHICKENS Interesting Experiments Made by Ore gon Station Larger Breeds Eat More Than Smaller. How much does it really cost to feed a laying hen a year? To this question there will be many answers. Some will say one thing, some an other, but how about the facts? In experiments made by the Oregon experiment station, covering several years, in which every ounce of food was weighed, six pens of Leghorn hens consumed during the year 564 pounds of wheat, 296 pounds of corn, 203 pounds of oats, 112 pounds of bran and shorts and 235 pounds of skim milk, in addition to some animal food. The cost of the total food per fowl for the year varied In different pens from 61 to 78 cents, and aver aged 66 cents. The wheat was charged at 1 cent a pound, corn at 14, oats at 1 cent, skim milk at 1-5 of a cent and bran and shorts at 3-5 of a cent. The ani mal food cost from 5 to 6 cents per fowl. The wheat constituted nearly a half of the total cost. The hens laid an average of 144 eggs per fowl, val ued at $1.68, at local prices for eggs. The prices were from 10 cents to 25 cents per dozen. If wheat had been worth, . say, 90 cents, and had been charged for at that rate, and bran at 1 cent a pound, the cost per fowl would have been about 16 cents more, or 80 cents Instead of 66 cents. On the basis of prices when the ex periment was made, food costing 80 cents when fed to hens produces eggs worth $2.58. This is a pretty good margin of profit in feeding 90-cent wheat. It may be said that the aver age flock of- hens does not lay 144 eggs per fowl. That is true. It is also true that 144 eggs per fowl is not phenomenal. The right kind of hens properly attended should average 150 and well-bred hens considerably more. Prize-Winning Cochins. The average farm flock will not aver age 125, probably not 100. In these experiments all the food eaten was paid for at market prices and the cost averaged only 66 cents per hen. The cost would have been only 80 cents if the wheat had cost 90 cents per bushel. The farmer, how ever, who keeps fifty or a hundred hens, can do better than that, for on the average farm that number of hens may be kept largely on the waste products of by-products of the farm. They will find the animal food In the fields in the shape of bugs, grasshop pers, worms, etc., and there will usually be skim-milk or buttermilk. There need therefore be no cost for animal food, resulting in a saving of 8 to 10 cents per fowl. The clover or grass they eat will have little market" able value. The destruction of grass hoppers in the clover and grain fields and of bugs in the orchard T ill, where these insects are bad, offset a large part of the annual cost of food for the fowls in better crops. In experiments with larger breeds the cost of feeding was greater. The cost of feeding Cochins and Plymouth Rocks averaged $1.15 per fowl and of Wyandottes $1. This extra cost, how ever, is largely offset when the fowls are marketed, the larger breeds bring ing more than the smaller breeds. Save the Pumpkins. Every pumpkin should be saved. The ducks and geese eat these readily and they make splendid feed for tiding1 over the winter months. If you in tend raising ducks for profit the com ing year remember there is nothing" more detrimental to success with these fowls than careless housing right now. Cold or damp quarters will have a tendency to cause them to wait later in the spring to begin lay ing, which means a poorer chance to raise them profitably. Keep the floor of their quarters deep in straw and securely sheltered from cold winds. Keep the HensScratchlng. By keeping. the hens busy scratch ing among the littcr.ior trying to ob tain a portion of their food from cab bage just within IhctT reach; by fur nishing them with nj varied diet of grains, vegetables, mf.at and lime; by gilvng them sun nndFydust baths; by disinfecting the 'houW's and keeping them clean, diseases may be avoided, health promoted, ' vi -ms habits pre vented and uo abu.K yie of eggs ob tained, v.

One day the famous John Phllpot Curran, who was. also very partial to the said corned mutton, did me the honor to meet him. To enjoy the so ciety of such men was an intellectual treat. They were great friends and seemed to have a mutual respect for each other's talent, and, as it may easily be Imagined, O'Leary versus Curran was no bad match. One day after dinner Curran said to him: "Reverend father, I wish you were St. Peter." "And why-, counselor, would you wish that I were St. Peter?" asked O'Leary. "Because, reverend father, in that case," said Curran, "you would have the keys to heaven, and you could let me In." "By my honor and conscience, coun selor," replied the divine, "it would be better for you that I had the keys of the other place, then I could let you out." ' Curran enjoyed the joke, which he admitted had a good deal of justice in it From Kelly's Remenlscences. On Authority of Teacher. A quick-witted boy, asking food at a farmhouse too recently ravaged by other hungry fishing truants, was told that he was big enough to wait until he got home. "Of course, if you have children with' you " hesitated the kindly wom an of the house, and was immediately informed that there were six children la the party. "No, I don't tell a fib, neither." was the indignant protest later drawn forth by -the condemnation of one who ha4 shared the good bread and butter thus secured. "Fib nothin'. We're children six times over. We're chil dren of our father and mother, chil dren of God, children of our country, children of the church an' children of grace. Teacher said so last Thursday, and I guess she ought to know." Strong Preaching. The minister's eight-year-old daugh ter was returning with her parents from church, where the district super intendent had that morning occupied the pulpit. "Oh, father," asked the little girl, her face alive with enthusiasm. "Don't you think Brother C. is a very strong preacher? I do." Gratified by this evidence of un usual intelligence on the part of his offspring, the minister eagerly in quired into her reasons for her state ment. "Oh," replied the little miss, art lessly, "didn't you see how the dust rose when he stamped his feet?" Judge. With a Sour Laugh. A Chicago editor has brought from London an amusing story about Hum phry Ward. " 'Humphry Ward," he said, was in his bachelor days, a really well-known art critic. But now! "I met Humphry Ward at a dinner in Soho, and he said to me, with a sour laugh: '"When a girl wants to retire from the world and be lost in oblivion, she has to enter a nunnery. But a man, to achieve the same end, need only marry a famous woman.' " First Dose Cured. Permanent relief: "My daughter contracted chills in 1877.
