Half Incubated Eggs.

The increasing popularity of incubators is
having demoralizing effect on the egg trade.
Eggs are so cheap for two-thirds of the year
that up till recently few people took the
trouble to keep any long enough to get stale.
But now those who have incubators put all
their eggs into them and buy dozens to make
up the 200 or 800 necessary to ill their ma
chimes At the end Of the fourth day all the
eggs are tested, and those that are not likely
to yield chickens are easily detected. They
are taken out and sold as fresh" eggs. They
are not altogether spoilt by their four days
sojourn in a temperature Of 100 deg, but
they have contracted flavor which is the
reverse Of pleasant The only way to obviate
this smart scheme is to refuse to buy from
any one who runs an incubator. but the
trouble is TO ascertain who has an artificial
sitting hen and who has not.-St. Louis

The mothers task of conquering the child
should begin at an early age, or in the end
the child will be the victor. A striking illus.
tration Of this was noticed ON one of the busy
streets of a certain city, recently Two ladies
WIN had evidently been shopping we're push
ing in front Of them a carriage in which sat
bright eyed, laughing child Of perhaps two
years. 1t soon discovered, however, that the
carriage was headed towards home and it at
once began to fuss to go back It's mother
not complying its face, moment before all
sunshine, assumed a look Of passion and its
cries could be heard far down the street
After one or two trifing attempts to still its
cries, the mother laughingly remarked to her
companion that perhaps they had better 20
where baby wanted to, which was done, and
smiles once more covered the little ones face.
They were soon lost from sight in the NOV.
ing throng, but already the little child had
learned her power and will continue to use
It. One lady was heard to remark, ''If that
mother can't manage her child at two, how
can she expect to have any influence over her

just Like the Girls.


A good story is told at the expense Of one
of the young fellows of the academy who
conceived a strong liking for a bright eyed
seminary girl The lady teachers never per
init boxes from home or elsewhere containing
appetite tempters to be received by their fair
charges. The young fellow speak Of evil
IDENTIFY did not know of this rule, or else he
had forgotten. At any rate, he sent his lady
love box containing a variety of dainties,
cakes, pies and an assortment of confectionery
that would have tempted the eyes Of a con
noisseur OF course the box was intercepted
hv the argus eyed lady teachers, and good
Miss McKeen seated herself to write the
young man a note, at the same time inform
ing the recipient Of his favor that the box
must be returned.
But, alasl The dear old lady knew not the
wiles Of those sweet girls, and while she
penned her curt letter informing the young
man-pointedly, we may beleve-of the full
enormity of his offense, the fair charges ex-
tricated the contents of the box, filed it w
with old shoes, and did it up again with a
skill that avoided detection, and, while the
good lady principal was peacefully " snoring in
her bed that night, it is safe to assume that
they did full justice to the good things so OPP
portunely secured to them.
When the expressman brought that box
back to the young man, it is safe to say, he
was mad. He concluded, however. that it
would DO a shame to lose so many good things.
and accordingly redirected it and sent it to a
kind, older brother at college. Just what the
elder brothers feelings were when he opened
it is one of the things which curious public
has not yet been able to discover.-Andover

A very striking and inspiriting document

testimony to the admirable order in which
the whole complicated machinery of the Cal

"of the conduct Of every officer and man. on
board the ship During the hours we passed,
when every moment might have been our
last, every order was obeyed with alacrity
and without confusion and the way in which
the engineer officers and stokers kept to their

must remember, was machine Of the most
elaborate and delicate construction, in which
the failure Of a single detail might well have
involved the total destruction of the whole
The working of the engines, the appliances

DON'T want to BE Like Men.

ANY one riding much on the street cars
will notice one popularity in regard to WON
en- passengers, said an old conductor; 'they
never read a newspaper on the cars often
stop the car for some woman to get a paper
of a newsboy. She'll be in the greatest hurry
till she gets it, and then she'll fold it up kind
Of small and tuck it away in her work bag"
"What do you think is the reason of It'll"
asked passenger
Il guess they think it would look too much
like the men-kind of strong minded-to read
it. I've seen one or two take a sly look at
the headlines, but they never read to amount
to anything then. And I'm mortal glad they
don't. If all the women in the cars took to
reading we conductors would never get the
fares collected. Only the other day man
took button out of his vest pocket and gave
it to me while he was reading his paper, and
they sit up behind them sheets and never see
their own wives standing up alongside of
them There is one woman that reads

large mercantile establishments, some of them
