When it is preferable to leave it open it

strap caught on nail or wire hook.
Another box still will serve as a
''mother," and need be but half as large
as the brooder box. A soap box is good
for this purpose. This must be inclosed
excepting at one end. Here door
must be hung which can be closed tight
~. In the box pan of hot sand may
be placed, which will afford plenty of
heat for the little chickens and will hold
it longer than water.
This box should have strong post,

upon the s'shats'' the bed is covered,
except space through the center which
is left open to allow the surplus heat to
escape so that the tubers upon the outer

those in the center. AS soon as the
sprouts appear the '.shats" are removed,

placed upon the tubers. In this manner

Iron Bands Enclrcle 1t to Keep 1t from
Cracking.
If we happen to be at church on
Thursday morning, when the public is
allowed to ascend to the roof and dome,
or, if we have written permission, any
day will do, we will make the ascent
A long series of very easy steps takes
us to the roof, which is of great extent
and has ON it small domes and also
houses in which workmen and othe,
persons employed in the church have
their homes. About this roof the great
dome rises to the immense height of sos
feet. Around the outside of it we see
strong iron bands that were put there
100 years ago, when it was feared thai
the dome might crack by it's own enor
NOUS weight. There is an inner and
an outer dome, and between these wind
ing galleries and staircases, very
hard on the legs, lead to the top, which
is called the lantern; where we can gt
out on the gallery and have a fine view
of the country all around. 4 Those who
choose can 60 up some narrow steps and
enter the hollow copper ball at the very
top Of every thing. When we look al
this ball from the ground it seems about
the size of football, but it is large
enough to hold sixteen persons at once
On our way down, before we reach the
roof, we Will step upon an inside gal
