chicks and set it, at first, three inches
lower than the underside of the tank,
and lower the platform half an inch
every ten days.
The illustration shows a double
brooder, with tight partitions in the
middle, and with openings for the
chicks on the opposite sides. The chicks
in each brooder have separate runs. To
set the brooder, have the end over the
lamp three quarters of an inch the
lowest from the top of the lamp, but
half an inch is better, and the water
will freely circulate. Fill the tank to
the top of the stand-pipe, then fill a

Here is true tale of business life
in New York. Once upon time a
young man got employment as clerk
in the establishment of prosperous
merchant, who paid him fairly for faith
full services and treated him well ac-
cording to his worth, so that his mind
was contented as time sped along. In
the course of years, and in the vicissi-
tudes of fortune, the merchant failed,
went out of business, and fell into pow
erty. In the mean while the clerk, who
was Of a frugal turn of mind, had saved
enough of his income to begin business,
whereupon he set up his establishment,
took as clerk the man who had once
been his employer, paid him fairly for
faithful service, and treated him well,
so that both are now contented as time
speeds along.-N. Y. Sun.

FOUGHT WITH NAPOLEON.
An Old Monk Who Was Once Soldier O
France,


The Trappist Monastery, situated In
Kentucky, is the home of those monks
upon whom the injunction of perpetual
silence is placed The stories that sift
through to the outside world, with more
or less romantic detail, concerning the
individual monks of La Trappe, are
many. There is one told of a brother
at Gethsemanc, which is old, but full of
dramatic suggestion. He was a soldier
of'Napoleon, so it was said, and after
the Emperor's first abdication took the
cowl Of the Brown Brothers." and
ultimately came to Gethsemane. Forty
years he lived in silence, hearing moth
ing of the worlds history, but with
one item of curiosity left unquenched.
When he came to die and was lifted
from his hard couch and laid upon the
harder floor, strewn with straw, when
all followers of the order must meet ex-
tremes, the Abbot, as is customary, told
him he was at liberty to ask any ques-
ton he desired. "What became of the
Emperor" the old man asked prompt
