that was answered in the affirmative by

80 per anum 10 eggs and chickens. Slim

their food when properly prepared. A
hen should not have the care OF more than
twelve or fifteen chickens, as that number
is all she can completely cover on cold
nights. A rambling discussion followed
which disclosed the fact that the percen
tage OF chickens produced by an incubator
is about sixty six Of the eggs set. The
brooder should be kept ats temperature
of about 900, and there should be thorough

A FRENCH ADVENTURER,
More Than Two Thousand
Charges of Fraud Filed
Against Him.
From the Chicago T1bune.l


a most extraordinary ad%en-
tucer, bearing the name of the
Marquis of Aida, is now on trial
at Montpelier, in the South of
France. The Indictment against his
contains no less than 2441 separ.
ale and distinct charges of fraud,
writes the Marquis de Fontenoy.
For the last three years he has
been living like a prince at the
various chateauX and country
houses in the South of France.
Everywhere he was treated with
the most distinguished consider
alton, and his title and anteced'
ents were regarded as pnexcep-
tionable.
The Cardinal Archbishop OF
Lyons was so delighted with him
that he induced the Pope to con.
fer upon him a Knight Command
ership of the order of Plus TX,
and when the President of the
Court of Appeals at AK gave a
dinner he placed the Marquis OF
Alba at his right in the seat of
honor, while the General in CON-
mand Of the military district had
to content himself with a seat on
the left.
A Count, the chief of one of the
grandest families of Provence,
permitted the Marquis to become
betrothed to his only daughter
and heiress "a favor to which he
responded by betraying the girl.
Possible the marriage might have
followed, had his arrest not inter.
fered Herewith.
1t now turns out that the pop
ular, the alistOcratie looking and
the remarkably handsome Mar.
uuis of Alba is a mere Piedmon..
tese swindler, whose true name is
Zucchi. His father was a Captain
in the Italian arm, and he himself
held the rank of Sub Lieutenant
when he deserted and fled the
country, carrying with him about
SO 90 belonging to regimental
chest.
Since then his career has been
one of crime. He has served
several terms ofimprisOment, and
both his photographs, as we'll as
that of his accomplice, who &C.
companied him everywhere as
valet, figured in the rogues' gal
lery of the Prefecture of Police at
Paris.
Under the circumstances, it is
almost incre dible that he should
ever have been able to figure as
he has been doing for the last
three years as a nobleman of anc-
lent lineage, great fortune, and
unimpeachable antecedents in the
best and most exclusive society
of France.
No people in the world are more
particular about the gentiiIy of
their guests than the provincial
noble man and gentry of that coun-
try. Time hanging heavy on their
hands, they have the leasure to
make themselves acquainted with
the ancestry and genealOgy of
well.nigh every titled parsonage
in the land, and in their eyes there
is no greater offense than that of
assuming a name of a rank to
which one is not entitled by birth.
The idea that they. of all people
in the world, should have allowed
themselves to be duped for sever.
al consecutive years by an ex-con-
vict is to them gall NORWOOD,
besides being source of intense
onousament IN tho Parisians.

The black fellow. having found a
