1 hat some Missoorians do not like
the idea of the Ortgou Agricultural
hon taking the honor for being the
greatest layer of epgs in tho world Is
plainly in evidence in the following
article which aDuearH in the editorial
columns of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
:
' 'The glad news comes from Oreg
on that something besides new ae
vices of government are being hatch
ed in that state. The Oregon Arm
cultural college announces that tun
0.113 has made what iB deolared
world's record '1 hough scarcely i
her prime, being hatched April 29
1912, she has just laid her 291 egg
within a year. She has been too
bust laying to cackle much about her
aohltivements, but the authorities o
the Oreaon Agricultural college are
supplying the omission. They also
remind us that the previous world
recoid was made by a hen belonging
to that college, number not given, in
1911. She laid 282 eggs in twelve
months. Details are lacking as to
the age of the previous champion
She may have had some preliminary
training. But hen C543 deposited
her first egg last October, when less
than 6 months old. The dispatches
are meager. We know not how she
was fed and trained, what objects
were set before her, what exercises
she indulged in or even her general
tastes and inclinations.
"But Missouri welcomes Oregon
as a competitor in one of the chief
industries of this country. In egg
crudaction Missouri leads the United
States, and no sly allusion !o the out
lawed practioo of hiding the shells is
intended. According to the. last
available government statistics, Miss
ouri produced 111,816,693 dozen rgea
in a single year. This surpassed the
record of Iowa 2,000,000 dozen, the
next state in rank. The records of
Ohio and Illinois were each 1., 000.000
dozen less, while Kansas, home of the
poet laureate of poultry, F. D. Co
burn, produced over 30,000.000, dozen
lrss eggs than Missouri. This in the
face of the fact that Missouri raised
but 31,913,210 fowls that year, nearly
half a million lesa than Illinois.
'Oregon may have individual hens
with rceords surpassing any in Miss
ouri. But she has not enough of them
and they do not average so well
While she has a right to bi proud of
the feats of her highly educated
poultry, hampered and coddled as only
professor? in an agricultural college
know how, Missouri has a juster
pride In the faithful work of the
plain, common, average hen. ...May
her tribe increase. But isn't Oregon
ashamed to number her' champion as.
f she were an ordinary convict? By
11 means she should have a name that
hould become a household word in
all that region 'when rolls the Oreg
on, and hears no sound save his own
ashingB. ' "
DOGS OF LABRADOR.

The waters of the Atlantic and the
Pacifis oceans have not met through
the Panama canal and they never
will, because the highest section of
the canal is eighty-five feet above
tide level and iixtends from Gatun
locks on the Atlantic si ie to the
Pedro Miguel lock ou the Pacifr
side. The recent Mowing up of the
Gamboa dyke merely let the water
supply from the Charges and other
streams into the Culehra rut. The
canal will be a wonderfully great
factor In the commerce of the world,
but its full fruition as an iriral canal
can only come with a sea-level con
struction, which can be attained
while continuing in operation the
present locked canal, thinks the chief
engineer for the French in their effort
to dig the canal.
They Go Liko th Wind and Are Tlr.
Iaa and Fearless.
In Dr. Urenfell's book lio tells
somo interesting things concerning
the Labrador dogs. The creatures
are fed ouee a day and are always
hungry, and yet a team will go for
two or three days without food. Dr.
Grenfell says that ho has traveled
seventy miles a day with a half
breed team of seven dogs and 250
pounds of baggage. "Tho great
beauty of a dog team is that it
seems to banish all conventionali
ties. You can go anywhere and
everywncro wnn no roads, no
hedges, no walls, no restriction but
your own will, and that will with
out rein or bridle you make your
dog s will.
Dogs can carry you up almost the
steepest snow slope and down again
in safety, lhey do not slip or sink
in, and if they fall over even a high
cult in tno winter tney are very
rarely hurt, lhey seem to under
stand what you say and so form a
better companion than a horse.
They are automobiles which need
no handling of their machinery.
They enjoy traveling almost more
than their masters enjoy it. They
learn to love you as only a dog will,
and if it were not for their occa
sional outbreaks of wickedness they
would make the best of companions.
As it is, I know of no greater pleas
ure possible than a large, 6trong
team, a good leader, a brisk, bright
spring day and a really long journey
to go.
"Our dogs know little or no fear
and, unlike the wolves, will un
hesitatingly attack even the largest
polar bear," Dr. Grenfell says again.
"On one occasion a man's dogs,
traveling along smooth sea ice,
scented a white bear aud started
oil like the wind. They suddenly
turned a point and ran right into
him, so that the traces tangled
round the bear before the astonish
ed driver had time to unlash his
gun. As soon as he could he cut
the traces, but even in harness the
dogs kept bruin at bay. Though
the bear stood up to light on his
hind legs, the dogs managed to get
in some good bites without being
hurt.
On another occasion," adds the
doctor, "a man brought me a spe
cially valued dog that a bear had
squeezed, lhe bear had been sight
ed some distance oil on the ice floe,
and the dogs -were slipped to hold
him up for the hunter. By the time
lie arrived on the spot they had
the bear practically killed. But
two had been damaged by him, one
clawed and one squeezed."

Destructive Music.
A member of the board of direct
ors or the Metropolitan Upera
House in Xew York tells a story
that he had from one of the mu
sicians attached to the orchestra
lere. It appears that a friend of
the wife of the musician had during
call on the latter inquired as to
the husband's taste ii musical mat
ters. Among other things she
wanted to know what operas the
musician liked best to play.
'I don t know much about dot,
aid the better half, who was at the
imo busily engaged in darning an
old shirt, "but I do know some-
'ings. Voteffer he likes I like not

A Bodyguard of Giants.
The Prussian guards were origi
nated by Frederick I., whose ambi
tion it was to form a royal body
guard of giants. Every country
was ransacked by his agents to sup
ply recruits, and no head that tow
ered above the crowd, even in the
bazaars of Aleppo or Cairo, could
escape the .crimps of the Prussian
king. The most extravagant sums
were olTered to men of exceptional
inches, and an Irishman, more than
seven feet high, who was picked up
by the Prussian ambassador in Lon
don, received a boanty of 1,300.
London Mail.
Painful Etiquette.
The royal court of France used
to be a great place for etiquette.
Louis XIV. once caught a severe
cold owing to the fact that on his
arising from his bed one cold
morning the lord of the chamber,
whose duty it was to hand him his
shirt, happened to be absent. Xot
one of the numerous courtiers pres
ent had the courage to transgress
etiquette by handing the garment
to the shivering monarch.
Good Wishes From Home.
When Mr. Brown was avay from
home on nn extended business trip,
he got a long letter from his wife.
It ended thus:
"Baby is well and lots brighter
than she used to be. Hoping you
are the same, I remain,
"Your loving wife." Exchange.
