court not long since, Judge Paine,
of Wisconsin, said:
Railroads are the public high
ways Of the world, along which its
gigantic currents of trade and trav-
ell continually pour-highways COM
pared with which the most magnifi
cent highways of antiquity dwindle
into insignifcance. They are the
most marvellous inventions of mod

develop the wealth and resources,
to stimulate the industry, reward
the labor and promote the general
comfort and prosperity of the coun-
try than any other, and perhaps all
other mere physical causes COM

man, woman or child whose inter
ests and comfort have not in some
degree been subserved by them.
They bring to our doors the pro-
of life. They enable us to
anticipate and protract the seasons.
They enable the inhabitants of
each cline to enjoy the pleasures
and luxurles of all. They scattered
the productions of the press and OF

country with amazing rapidity.

The Yankee in the South.

The impression still obtains that
the southern people cherish such a
deadly hatred to the yankee that
they will neither smell, taste, touch,
nor handle anything contaminated
by yankee hands. This is a most
egregious error. The southern peo-
pie love the yankee, and they show
this affection in thousand differ
ent ways. When they retire at
night, they unbutton yankee but
tons to yankee made waist coats,
pataloons, shirts, and, drawers.
They pull off yankee boots with
yankee boot-jacks and divest their
feet OF yankee socks. They
march to the yankee bedstead, turn
down yankee coverlets, yankee
blankets, PROSTATE themselves on
yankee mattresses, lay their heads
upon yankee pillows. The bedbugs
are the only things not made by
yankee hands and imported from
the land of yankees. On rising in
the morning we tread yankee car
pets, stumble over yankee chairs and
sofas, build fire with yankee coal
taken from yankee scuttle, in
yankee CRATES, and catch the ashes
in yankee pans, and use yankee po-
kers, yankee shovels and yankee
tongs. We repair to yankee wash
stands, pour water from yankee
pitchers into yankee bowls, and
wash with yankee soap; then use
yankee tooth brushes. Next we
march to q yankee bureau, stand be-
fore yankee glass, and use yankee
combs, yankee brushes, yankee
powder, yankee cologne in yankee
bottles. Sit in a yankee chair to
a yankee table, covered with yankee
cloth, yankee knives and forks, yam
kee dishes, and feed upon yankee
food. We call for yankee tooth
picks, sieze yankee hats from yam
kee racks, turn the key to a yankee
lock, open Il yankee door, enter a
yankee buggy, seive the yankee
reins to the harness, and repair to
our place of business, and spend
the dsy in trading on yankee indus
try. The south is rich in resources
but our people are so fond of the
yankees that they lavish their
wealth upon the yankee enterprise.

Poultry Raising a Profitable En-
ployment for Woman.

10 bue GOlLOT OF LIo hepuDDcs)
As l have many friends and rela-
tives who read your valuable paper,
| wish to giyethem my experience in
poultry raising. Beng left in de-
pendent circumstances with three
fatherless children to support, l
was driven to action. I bought %
common hens and two Plymouth
Rock rOosters. My hens were
young and healthy, and good layers
because well fed. About the Ist OF
March my brother came to visit me
and made me an incubator that
held 240 eggs. The material cost
me Sc and it took him two days to
make it. March l and July l
l Matched five incubators full OF
chicks, 968 in all. I sold them
when about 8 months old to hotels
in villages near by. The first Is
dozen brought me $100-or 1925 per
dozen; the next sixteen dozen
brought me $50 or Sc per dozen
the next sixteen dozen $72 and the
remaining 81 dozen brought me
$S1; total, 1888. 1 paid for feed
$47.25, leaving me for my own labor
$2S5.75, and this without any CAPT
tai at all to start on. Ny brother
living in Pennsylvania made an in
cubator after he went home and
cleared on his chicks $437. He
did not hatch as many as I did,
but he shipped his to New York
and got high prices for them. 1
was too far off the railroad; could
not ship conveniently. An incubator
is real easy to manage and takes
but little time, one half q day being
You can hatch all the
fertile eggs and you can hatch
them early, before you can get hens
to set. Ihave five incubators made,
and l expect to raise 5000 chicks
next year, and 1 know can clear
30 cents on each chicken. l have
only a small house and lot, but
then you need but little room when
you sell them so young. This is
work that any woman, though in
feeble health, can do; in fact it is
only good exercise and it is very
profitable. l know there are thou
sands of poor people who would try
he poultry if they only knew how
much money they could make Any
one can get plain directions for
an incubator like mine by
sending stamp to the c. S. Incubator
Company, Newark, N. j. L hope
hat many of your readers who are
,ut of employment or have leisure
line will try the poultry business.

A slirht Mistake.

A lady has been much annoyed
of late by a book agent, of whom,
in some unguarded moment hereto
fore, she purchased a book, and for
which reason he has considered it
his right and privilege to call at all
hours and take up much of her time
dilating on the advantages of other
books, most of which would be dear
at any price. Having borne the in
Fiction for some time, she at last told
him that he need not trouble him
self to call again, as she didn't want
any book and had no time to waste
looking at them. The very next
day he was there again, and then
entirely losing her patience, she told
him that if he came there again he
would wish he had not. A day or
two after, while she was cleaning
lamps, there came ring at the bell,
and looking out of the window she
beheld her enemy standing upon the
steps, book in hand, gazing about
the neighborhood. Hastily catch
ing up the pail of lamp-water, she
opened the door, and when the man
turned, with mouth open, ready to
speak, she gave him the contents OF
the pail square in the mouth. The
suddenness of this unexpected re-
ception staggered the gentleman
and losing his balance he fell off the
steps backward. The thoroughly
angered woman stood upon the
steps and shouted: "Now you just
get ont of this, and if I ever catch
| you around here again I'll give yoT
| another dose. The man got upor
his feet, displayed to the angry lady

to say that the minister made NJ
more calls that forenoon, and h
