three times as long as will those from
hens mated with cocks. Hence, after
Matching is over, remove the males, as
the hens will lay fully as well without
them. Keep the eggs as near 60 de-
grees as possible, but 20 degrees is not
too high. Keep them in cool place
in summer and do not let them freeze
in winter. Be sure and turn the eggs
at least twice a week or the yolks will
adhere to the she'll, no matter how
they may be preserved. This may be
done by putting the eggs in box and
turning the box or by placing the eggs
on a rack or turning tray.
The cut shown above, and taken
from Poultry Keeper, is the best
method for turning eggs. No. / is the
V-shaped wood trough as long as the
tray is wide, sl-inch square and planed
down to the V-shape. No. is a roller
q or d-inch in diameter window cur
tain rollers may be used) and as long
as the V-shaped sticks. Use stout wire
at the back end, cut it off about an
inch long and drive it into the center
of the roller. Use wood ia inches
wide and 4 A-inch thick for pulleys in
front, using 194-inch screws, and over
the screws drive wire brads such as
the manufacturers of blinds use,
strengthening them out and then bend
ing them so as to fit the screw and go
into the cut in the screw so it will not
turn in the pulley. Set the pulleys .
inches apart from cen tier to center. Fif-
teen rollers may be put in one tray and
eight eggs on one roller. Take hold
of the middle roller with thumb and
finger, the top and bottom of the
roller and every egg will turn. 1t
must be made to turn easily.

TIMELY BEE NOTES.

CARBoLIo acid and tar are said to be
a specific for foul brood.
Thick, well-ripened honey will not
granulate SO readily as that which is
thin.
IF the honey is overheated, both the
color and the transparency are in
jured.
IT is better to have too much than
too little honey left in the hives for
the bees supplies
IN rendering beeswaX a tin or brass
vessel should always be used. An iron
vessel tends 60 darken it,
WHILE the black bees are better
architects than the Italians and can
gather as much honey, the latter are
much the more docile and are easier
handled.
WHEN the weather is hot and dry
especially the hives should be we'll
shaded. Unless shaded the combs may
melt down, and then the bees viii re-
main idle.
AFTER the honey season is fairly
over take most of the honey away from
the bees, so that they will not rear a
large numper of bees that will be con-
sumers only.

THE OLD FLAG.
a Scrap of War History Recited with
Splendid Dramatic Eject.

A group of loyal legioners-grand
looking men, every one the proud
owner 'of splendid war record-lis-
tened while Companion Bent, of the
old Iron Brigade" excited and elo-
quent, continued: 81 may i've many
years, but never shall forget that
scene in the Wilderness We had
fought our way through the mass of
tangled underground, painting and
bleeding, our uniforms torn and
ragged, desperate charge that cost
the old Sixth half of its officers and
men; and then about one hundred OF
us were left alone with our regimental
hag-no other of our troops in sight
but closing in around us in every di-
rection were the veterans of Lees
army. Then the wonderful discipline
OF the old brigade came in full play
No surf ender; let us cut our way
through"
And then Bent stood up, his tall
form quivering all over, his black eyes
flashing.
Great Caesar, what struggle il
was! / never could tell how it was
done, but only fifty in all got through
their lines. had lost all direction of
which way we should go for safety,
when, toiling on, we came to small
opening and there found Gen. Warren
with a small command. We were safe,
but, great God! where was our flag
the flag that had never trailed the dust
or had known surrender? Tears came
flowing down the cheeks of bronzed
veterans who had been heroes in the
many hard battles of the old army of
the Potomac. Tired and exhausted,
they rallied again, apd a shout went
up: Lead us back; we will have our
flag or die with it' And just then wo
saw Sergeant Cuyler Babcock, our
brave, geutlemanly sergeant major,
coming all alone out of the wood. l
met him with: 'Cuyler, where is our
hagP A quiet smile passed over his
smoke-begrimed face as he unbuttoned
his coat, and there, wrapped around
his body, he showed our dear old flag,
then sank, exhausted, to the ground" "

HE WAS A FIGHTER.
A Maine Soldier Who Was Little But q
Host in Himself

Edward Kilby, Company K, First
Maine Heavy, was wounded in the left
arm; went to the hospital, thence
home on furlough. When he returned
we were in front of Petersburg, and as
both his eyes were blackened. asked:
Ned, how did you get your eyes
blacked?"
lie answered: ~ had a fight with
fellow at home in Dennysvillc.
What" said, with a bullet hole
through your arm?"
lie replied: "Yes, and licked him"
/ then in surprise asked: How big
was hep"
He was a good deal bigger than
you are"
Now, l was five feet seven and
half inches high, and weighed in good
health one hundred and forty-fve
pounds. AS could look right down
on top of Ned's head, he couldn't have
been more than five feet high, and as
he was slightly and limly built, he
could not have weighed over one hun
dred and twenty pounds at tnat time.
Therefore, you see he was very small
man.
He gave me the particulars, saying
he was in the village store telling
several of the neighbors about the
war, how he got shot, etc, when a
young man who had made several un-
pleasant remarks finally said:
Its a tarnation pity the bullet
hadn't gone through your head"
his wounded arm dashed to his side.
He was mad. and said:
II enlisted to fight such fellows as
you are, and may as we'll do it here
in Maine as in Virginia"
And, jumping for him, he caught
him by the throat with his well right

POULTRY NOTES.
Notes on the Selection of Winter Layers
and on Other Live Topics.

Notes on the Selection of Winter Layers
and on Other Live Topics.
Defects increase with age, and it is
best to dispose of all Objectionable
members of the flock early in the sea-
son. Do not keep any chickens that
appear stunted; they always degrade
the appearance of flock, and when
once fowl has been stunted it is not
fit for breeding purposes, and in fact
is not worth the keeping. Disease, or
u tendency to disease, is hereditary.
Discard all hens that show ten
dency to lay on fat, and retain those
that under proper feeding will convert
the food into eggs instead of fat, If
part of the flock convert the food into
fat instead of eggs, the profit the lay
ers might give is eaten up by the
drones. No fowl should be retained
that does not IN some manner add to
the profit of the flock.
Much care should be observed in Sc
lecting layers for breeding purposes
every year, and in short time the en-
tire flock will consist of nothing but
layers.
A good layer has small head, a
long neck anu Ddch anu Il WeuPe-
shaped body. The eyes are bright
and the comb and wattles are of a
bright red. She is energetic and active,
starting at every sound or motion with
an elastic spring.
A good layer usually lays eggs that
will hatch well. The very fact that
she is good layer shows that she is
in Il healthy condition, the consequence
being that the greater number of the
eggs will be fertile and the chicks
strong and vigorous.
A hen is profit until she is three
years old; after that the number of
eggs annually decreases, and she
should not be kept longer unless she
is world beater and perfectly healthy.
The hens that moult early should be
retained in preference to those that
moult late. They will come into profit
early in winter, when eggs are at a
good price.
Hens that hatch and raise brood
make good winter layers. The rest
they get by incubation fits them for
better work when they start again

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A WARTIME EXPERIENCE.

Adventures of Young Maine Civilian
Who Was Captured by Guerrillas.
There is birchbark letter in this
city that has an unusual history and
Is rather unusual itself. 1t is tough
piece of the inner bark of the birch
tree and is about two feet in length
and seven inches wide. The writing,
though about thirty-one years of age,
is still legiblc, and the letter is intact
except for fragment torn from one
corner.
1t is the property of Alderman Zenas
Thompson and is valued by him very

The letter describes the camping
trip and the big trout, etc, and was
written to his brother, Capt. George
M. Thompson, of the Thirty-fourth
Massachusetts, then at the front in
Virginia.
Afterward he was killed, shot
through the heart, in the charge of
Cooks brigade in the battle of Win

the twenties, went to the scene of the
battle to bring home the dead soldiers
body. Arrived at Harper's Ferry, he
took the Baltimore & Ohio raj road for
Martinsburg. There he was obliged
to leave the train and go across coun-

CHIEF OF THE soNApARTEs.
How the Honor Passed to Young Napoleon
from His Father.

Row the Honor Passed to Young Napoleon
from His Father.
In Corsica from the earliest times it
has meant moro than anywhere else to
DC the head of n family. The chief is
even now the arbiter of all disputes,
the avenger of all laggression-the judge
from whose decisions no wife, no son,
no younger brother thinks of appealing.
In Napoleon's time this feeling was
even more pronounced. His father had
been the chief of the Bonapartes. The
way in which the honor passed to one
who was not the eldest son is worthy
of note.
Napoleon's father died when the fu-
ture conqueror of Europe was sixteen
years old-17S5. 1t is said that on his
death bed, while in state of delirium,
he cried out wildly: Mon Fils!" Then
when Joseph fastened to the bedside
the dying man shook his head feebly,
exclaiming in hoarse whisper: Mon
Fills, la Grande Epeew All knew that
he referred to Napoleon, but the father
was dead before the young officer could
arrive. That Napoleon felt the loss of
his father as deeply as the average boy
of that age would have felt such a be-
reavement appears from all the evidence
that history produces. There are ex-
tant some letters to his mother. written
shortly after this death, which are
touching in their display of affection
| and manliness.
With the decease of Joseph Bona
| parte the position of chief went to his
brother Lucien, the uncle of Napoleon.
This uncle was man of strong charac-
| ter and highly respected in Ajaccio He
died in 1871, and this period marks the
accession of the victor of Marengo to
the chieftainship that probably gave his
Corsican heart more pleasure than any
| later honor.
The uncle, Lucien, was dying. He
called all the family around him. TAX
ing Joseph, the oldest son, by the hand;
he said, pointing with the other hand
to Napoleon: "Tu es l'aine la famille;
mais en- VOLTA lie chef Ne roublie ja-
mais."
Joseph, whose temper was the calm
est of all, bowed affirmatively. This
| was promise to be kept until death
1t is doubtful if Joseph was ever
tempted to break it. He watched with
eager interest the progress of Napoleon
throughout the latter's long career
aiding him with the best of advice and
proving his best friend by facing the
emperor with disapproval of bad
schemes when no one else dared to tel
him the truth.

Utilizing Waste Matter.

A few years ago there was an enor-
nous waste of material at blast fur
naces and various smelling establish
ments, as well as about glassworks.
Recently the suggestion has been made
that some of this waste be utilized.
Experiments have been made with
glass by forming it into building
bricks These are specially recon-
mended for building lighthouses. They
are said to be of equal value for re-
frigerating establishments, bath
houses. hospitals and other places
where sanitary conditions must be OBJ
served, and where a maximum of clean
illness must be secured at minimum of
labor and expense. The glass bricks
are laid up in fine cement-mortar,
which incorporates itself with the
glass and forms an impervious and per-
fectly smooth surface. Walls of this
sort are said to be excellent insulators
of moisture and noise, and are suscepti-
BILE of high degree of ornamentation,
and, as they are made hollow, are good
for keeping out the heat in summer
and the cold in winter. There is a
great field for any inventor who can
make good use of waste material. The
advantage is two-fold: There is new
material to work with, and something
which it heretofore has been necessary
to remove. often at considerable eX-
pense, is eagerly sought after. Y.
