Raised Without a Mother.

What is home without a mother"
was never more fully illustrated than
the process of Matching chickens with.
out hen as accomplished by Mr.. Lorin
Elias who lives on Fourth street in the
rear of the Union School building. Ac-
cepting an invitation to witness this
new departure from natures way, a
representative Of THE FREE Press paid
the aforesaid hatchery visit last week.
Arriving upon the scene we were intro.
duced into room containing chicken
pen, the incubators, and chicks recently
Matched to three weeks old, who were
crying, peep! peep The apparatus
used in this artificial and novel method
of propagation consists of two round
incubators or ovens made Of thick paper,
with oil cloth bottoms. The interior
contains revolving table upon which
are placed tin pans Of nearly triangular
shape. Each incubator holds eight pans
and each pan from 40 to As eggs. Then
there is a stove heated by u kerosene
oil flame. The heat from this stove
finds its way into the incubator by
means of small pipe which is regulated
by valve, and this in turn is controlled
by the action of two magnetic batteries
which have electric cords running from
the battery into the incubator where il
a magnet, and when the heat rises above
l04o Fahrenheit the magnet closes the
valve and when the heat falls below l04
the same medium opens the valve, adj
hitting extra heat. While we were
there Mr.. Elias had only one incubator
at work which contained about 800
eggs. Some Of them were just pecked
open by the chicks, Others showed the
chick part way out, while in others a
little fellow had just cast off its shell
covering. About rs per cent. Of TIT
eggs hatch, and it takes 90 days fol
Matching.
In this brief article we can only speal
in general terms of this modern process
of superseding the old fashioned, cluck
ing setting hen in rearing a brood o
healthy chickens, but the process is full
ly as novel as successful.

Wells.

The village of Wells, to the casual
observer, does not present very
prepossessing appearance at first
sight, especially In the spring of the
year. when the mud is monarch of
all You survey. But more extended
acquaintanceship with the town and
its people obliterates any false impres.
sion which may at FIRST be produced,
and the stranger at once finds himself
the recipient of attention that springs
spontaneously from the best impulses
of a cultivated and reciprocal com.
munity. The name of the town is
synonymous with its numerous arte-
sian wells, which have gained such q
notoriety for the mineral and iron
properties the waters contain.
and we venture the assertion that
within the corporate limits of the
village there are more flowing wells
than in any similar territory in the
United States. Some of these wells
are novelties to behold, Senator
Wilkinson possessing one which
throws its water twenty odd feet
high the year round, thus enabling
him to have d fountain with natural
force which would be u priceless
jewel to our larger cities. Many new
buildings have been erected the past
year, an addition of five new engine
stalls have been added to the machine
shops of the NJ. & st. P. r. X. Co.,
the force Of workmen have been in.
creased to $50, which is the same as
adding nearly $4,000 month to the
village trade. If 1t was a settled
fact in the mind of the employees of
the above company that the machine
shops would not be removed from
Wells, 1t would start building boom
in that town never before witnessed.
As it is now, every room large enough
to put up a bed or cook stove, is
occupied Wells. as business place,
is unquestionably the peer OF any
town along the line of the Southern
Minnesota road. 1t is railroad divi-
sion and presents one of the liveliest
scenes imaginable when the transfer
Of baggage and passengers take place
upon the arrival of the morning and
evening trains. Its business men are
all young, comparatively speaking,
possessing energy and natural
adaptation for their different branch
es; The social qualities Of the people
are unexcelled, and they are in per.
feet accord in support Of all their
educational Institutes.
The country around and tributary
to Wells is adapted to dairying, and
the farmers are appreciating that
fact by engaging In that industry.
At this point are Thompson's i'm.
mense vinegar works and finest
cheese and butter factory in the
West. Myers famous thoroughbred
Holstein cattle are here domiciled
and gazed at and commented on by
stock-grOwers from all over the State.
Wells is supplied wholly from
Mankato with wood, while many of
the tradesmen of MankatO have
business relations with the people of
Wells. especially the Linseed Oil
mill here, who send their manufac-
tured product to nearly all the dealers
in the article at Wells. We bespeak
for the town and its people An Ar.
spicious future.

The Opera Company, under the above
name. which so delighted our people
at Union Hall last Monday evening,
is deserving of more extended notice
than we have time or space to give.
They stopped in this city simply to "fll
in" their time while en-route from Sioux
City to Saltwater. "Mascotte" was the
play, and so interesting and absorbing
was it throughout, that the audience
became enraptured. A vein of vivacious
humor ran through the whole piece,
which produced peals of laughter. Fay

Noblemen as Walters,

A story is afoat TO the effect that q
foreign authoress who went to Delmon-
icos uptown restaurant to dine found
that the waiter who came forward to
wait upon her was her own brother.
Tho item was shown to the manager
at Dolmonico's, and he was asked il
there was any truth in it. He shook
his head. and smiled.
Every now and them" he said,
..some story of the kind is set afloat.
Generally. however, it is about a waiter
who Is q noblcman."
us it not fact that occasionally you
have q nobleman among you?'
ut is not at all unlikely. There are
plenty OF noblemcn abroad who are
very poor. and sometimes are hard put
TO it for = good meal. In such cases
they often drop their titles. II they
come to this Country. why should they
not work at waiting as well rs any 9TH
or business? Then there are fast young
noblemen who run through their means
and emigrate. They have not been
brought up to any business; they arc
unacquainted with the wsys of Ameri-
can life. But they know about table
service. and a job as waiter. is the thing
they are best fitted for. Noblemen are
not scarce in the Old World. In Cor
many the title goes to all of the sons of
n nobleman. have no doubt there are
noblemen jerking beer in the Bowerr.
We have had noblemcn occasionally
among our corps OF walters. There is
nothing surprising in it. We see men
brokers, etc.-who make
great deal of money. They live fast.
spond freely, and make big figure in
the world for a time. and then comes a
smash. and they disappear. Perhaps
we may afterwards hear of them work.

Woman,a Pronerty Rirhts.

BY the statute laws of Now York the
married woman owns all the personal
and real estate which she held at the
time of marriage, or which may come
to her by will or gift, or otherwise.
She may dispose of it without the con-
sent of her husband. and she has still a
right Of dover in the real estate of her
husband. Shc may dispose Of her
property by will; she may sue and be
sued. Each State in this country has
made laws on this subject, but they all
resemble those of New York. In Eng
Lanai some few notifications have been
made since 1870. but substantially the
law remains the same. On the Conti-
nent there is different idea as to the
rights of married women. In general,
it may be said that the ancient Roman
dotal system prevails. but commun-
ion of property is allowed when this is
agreed upon by marriage contract.
In France. if nothing is said about
which system is to obtain, the law pre-.
sumcs that the parties adopt the COM
munion Of goods. All the property that
husband and wife bring into this COM
munion is hold by them jointly. and
the husband has the administration
thereof, but neither one nor the other
can dispose of real estate without the
consent of both.
