of her shooting the lantern of of his boat,

sir?"
OF course SIZE was gracefully forgiven.
"How did you find your way here?" asked
"oh, I'm living at the little hotel down
on Big Tupper Lake. and my guide brought
me up tonight My brother is going down
the river, and will meet me at the carry
after we have finished hunting"
ST think I'll be down to the hotel to-mor-

plunger.
"But you won't tell on me- will yOu9'
cried the girl.
'That depends" replied the youth.
The guides padded the boats ahead mop
posite directions.
"Haye you seen deer tonight" called
back the girl.
"Yes, indeed" was the reply; "I've seen
a darling"
"Oh, pshawp' was the response to this.
The young man is now down at the hotel
every day, for the girl who came near kill

and they are holding prolonged dialogues
about deer hunting-or something else.
A PICTURESQUE GUIDE.
Among these guides, whose services cost
So 80 and 81 day, there are several of the

have ever seen. do not exaggerate when
I say that one young man in particular,
whose headquarters are at Paul Smiths, is
quite the handsomest fellow that could be
made. By association with refined people,
he has acquired the manners of gentle
man, and his picturesque garb and his
abilities as hunter and guide make of
him a very romantic and theatrical figure.
He wears large, cartwheel hat with a
bright silk handkerchief tied about it, q
loose flannel shirt, and tight-ftting top
boots. He is about the same figure as John
L. Sullivan, but his head is remarkably
beautiful. He has dark curly hair, his
complexion is deep red, and his eyes are
gray and gentle. He is known as the best
oarsuan and fighter in the woods. A club
man from New York took this handsome
fellow down to New York a few seasons
ago, and wherever he went the crowd
stopped to gaze at him. He was photo
graphed in his rough costume, and more
than one woman in New York still treasures
that picture. The best thing about this
Adirondack Adonis is that he dislikes be-
ing an object of admiration, and some time
ago be declared that henceforth he would
guide only men and old ladies, as the young
girls made him feel like fool, and he
couldn't do his work with any effect.
There are pretty girls in the Adirondacks,
too, but they don't grow there. being alto

1t was not. No use blinking the fact.

Expectation, even, had none. The only

any money was my Aunt Johanna; and She

LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
One might as we'll try to comprehend En-
gland at glance Of London as to set down
a picture Of a spot out of these mountains
and let it stand for the whole. When we
think of the hundreds of miles that man
and his guide NAV travel, carrying their
boat from lake to lake, dining at one place,
sleeping at another and reaching miles be-
yond any habitation the next day, we under
stand what an unusual and immense region
this wilderness is. The different phases Of
life and character of people that find place
here would also be difficult to concisely
describe.
In the summer time the invalid is scarce

in the evening was presented to Mr.. Bruce,
a massive stern-looking man of perhaps 50.
He had judicial air with him which gave
one the impression that his life had been
passed in weighing evidence and finding it
wanting. But when he found that Bold and
l were old friends, and that his son had
been my guest at Ruataniuha, he was good
enough 10 ask me to call on him in Invernes

thoughtful enough to tell me beforehand),

SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Hatching Chickens by the Million In Egypt
for American Stomachs.

Hatching Chickens by the Million In Egypt
for American Stomachs.
From q Cairo (Egypt) Letter.l
The Egyptians are, however, far in ad-
vance of us in the science OF raising chick
ems. and the incubating establishments of
the country hatch out eggs by the million
every year. At Matching establishment
near the Pyramids the farmers trade fresh
eggs for young chicks and the rate is two
eggs per chick. Another ntifcial egg
hatchery turns out 500, 900 little chickens
every season, and the oven crop of chick
ems in Egypt amounts, according to figures
furnished me by the Consul General, to
more than 20, ,000, 900 of chickens year.
We have about 5000, 900, 900 worth of
money invested in the fowl industry in the
United States, an amount SO large that all
the money of Jay Gould could not equal it,
and still we have to import more than
16, ,O00, 900 dozens Of eggs every year. IT
America would adopt the Egyptian hatch
ing system we could sell eggs instead of
buying them and our farmers might buy
little chickens to raise at price OF 20 cents
a dozen. More than 20, O0O, 900 of little
chickens are sold each year in this way in
Egypt and there is a regular business in
The incubatories are rude, one-story
buildings, made of undried bricks, so ar
ranged that the eggs are laid upon cut
straw in racks in rooms, around the ovens,
which are kept fired on during the Matching
season. The outside walls are very thick
and are built so that they retain the heat,
and the only thermometer used is the blood
of the boy or man who attends to the fires.
By long practice these men learn just how
hot the ovens ought to be kept, and they re-
plenish the fires as the weather demands.
A small amount of fuel is needed, and the
temperature of the ovens is about
that of $50 above zero. The fire is
built up for eight or ten days before
the eggs are put in, to thoroughly warm the
hut and after this time it does not 90 out
during the season, which is from March un-
til May. The eggs are turned four times a
day while Matching. The whole outfit OF
an establishment which matches over 200, 900
chickens year does not, 1 am told, cost
more than S25, and one man runs the whole
machine, keeping the fires, buying and
turning the eggs and selling the chickens.
There are in this incubatory II compart-
ments, each 20 feet long, 60 feet wide and 16
feet high, and each of these compartments
will hold Z, 500 eggs at a time, or 81, 900 eggs
in all. It produced last year more than
23o, 900 chickens and did the work of more
than %, 900 hens.

filled with healthy, jolly, and fne-looking
people. Around the larger lakes, such as
Uppes and Lower Saranac, Long Lake and
st. Regis, there are camps that cost their
owners thousands of dollars, where the ad-
vantages of isolation, of absolute freedom
from social restraints. and the romantic SEN
sation of existing in a nomadic state slight
ly initiative of the original Americans, are
combined with luxury which could only
find example in the drawing rooms of these
same people when they are at home. Proba-
bly, the most extensive camp in the mount
aims at this time Is that Of Anson Phelp
Stokes, of New York. 1t occupies an
island on st. Regis Lake, and, to show how
important it is, let it be said that Mr..
Stokes has fifteen Adirondack guides in his
employ, besides his kitchen servants and
attendants, to care for the camp and the
people in it. Other camps in this neighbcr-
hood and elsewhere are Of nearly equal pre-
tensions.
IN TRAtNINe FOR SOCIETY.
As you float by one of these fair spots it
is hard to believe that the brown-throated
girl, with the skin peeling from her nose,
who stands in the boathouse rolling up her
sleeves for a row on the lake, is the same
fairy that whizzed in the dance at the Patri-
archs ball last winter, arrayed in gauze
and looking as white and as frail as lily.
Occasionally we discover how our girls store
mp that energy which is the wonder of the
skeptic and the physician in January. II
is just as hard to comprehend that the white
whiskered old man, mounted on q donkey,
is the venerable Prof Deacons. of Cornell
University, on summer journey of rectea-
tion. He conceives the surefeoted donkey
to be safer beast to ride than horse, and
what is beauty compared with safety?
But the rough old camp with it dried.

graphic resemblance to the Ingersoll of to-

lectures on the mistakes of Moses, knows
whereof he speaks and that his data were

HARD ON THE YOUNG MAN


But there is the highest sort of civiliza-
tion to be had at the hotels, at the highest
prices, too. witnessed only yesterday the
despair OF young man who had come to
the Adirondacks for a cheap vacation, but
had been charmed into asking divine girl
to dine with him. She was rolling mp bill
OF about $40. 1t reminded me of this bit Of

But was writing of deer shooting-not
dear eating and drinking. That this sport
is sgitating to the nerves of the citizen I can
relate for proof an incident which came un-
der my notice few days since. A young
man in camp on a small secluded lake was
hunting the river that ran close by. As
motionless as statue in the front of the
boat, with the bulls-eye lantern throwing
the light over his head, and his guide in
the stern padding without the slightest
noise-as is wholly necessary-the young
hunter had his ewes fixed on the shores for
the unwary but sensitive deer. Suddenly
he saw a ball Of fire directly ahead of him.
He raised his rifle and was about to shoot,
~hen his common sensereminded him that
no animal could have such an eye as that.
Hardly had he lowered his rifle when a
sharp crack pierced the air, the lantern over
his head came down upon him, and he was
left in darkness. His guide called out, in
language more eloquent than poetic, to
