The patient man at the donkey engine on
the Brooklyn has a melancholy task. He was
at work to the last moment before the steamer
sailed, hosting things aboard, and now has to
take everything out. In fact, all the officers
and crew Of the steamer deserve sympathy; for
they are wrecked, at least for time.

The Transcript has been looking over the
poultry establishment of Mr.. Granville NJ.
ntevens, Stevens Plains. He matches bis chicks
in an incubator Of his own invention. The
eggs are placed in drawers, turned daily, and
kept at a temperature Of 101 degrees; the
chickens are hatched in twenty-one days, with
very little loss. They saw eighty little ores
not long out of the. shell. These are kept in
large frames, feed upon sour milk and the
green blades Of oats sown in boxes, which they
eagerly deyour. At one end of the frame 10
little space covered with a warm woody cloth
which is the only "mother" the chicks know.
They are born orphans, and having no shelter
ing wing to run under take kindly to the warm
nook provided for them. In his hen-house Mr.
stevens has some fine fowl, and he gets largo
,,r;cas for .sbroilers."

Information Wanted.

To the Editor Of the Press:
saw in Maine paper few weeks since
the names Of the Liberty party candidates for
electors in 1910. That was the year that
James G. Birney was first nominated for the
Presidency. The late Jeremiah Curtis whose
death has been recently announced was the
frs. abolition candidate for governor in Maine.
I think he was voted for in 1910 His
name does not appear 10 the year book I'M
til one year later. Will some Of the older
men who read this inform as when or where
the convention was held that put in nomina-
ton Mr. Curtis and the electoral ticket named.
1t has been enormously stated that he ran as q
prohibition candidate when the fact Is be had
left this State some years before the Maine
Law was agitated.
