We often make mistakes when we
neglect the sitting hens. A hen while
sitting should be cared for as regards
feeding, watering and busting, as well
as while laying. When she is confined

Much could be said about making
nests. but as the internal arrangements
Of the houses and Matching places diff
fer, no one way Of making or preparing
them for sitters would be suitable for
every case. It is more sensible, and
to us more judicious, to make the
nests low down than to make them
in boxes attached to the wall Or IN
any high places. a certain amount Of
moisture is needed for Matching. but
nests placed where the air circulates
under and around them are apt to be-
come too dry for the eggs. s.,
TO make q suitable nest for sitters re-
quires little experience and ingenuity.

MAKES HIS MONEY GO.
MAX LEBAUDY, THE SENSATION OF
PARIS.
Antics of Young Man Who Recent
~ Fell Heir to $4,000. OOO-drs.
Langtry Trying to Capture Him
His Trick on a Clergyman.

Max Lebaudy Is the name Of young
man whose eccentricities just now are
the sensation Of Paris and London.
In the former capital, anarchists and
bombs have had to be contented with
the second place, young Max having
managed to concentrate the Parisians'
attention on himself, or rather perhaps,
on his performances. AS explanatory,
it might be said that this youngster
has recently come into possession OF
a fortune of about $15,OOO,OOO, and
that he is endeavoring to spend as much
of it as possible in a decidedly novel
manner. His relatives, including his
own mother, have vainly sought to
have him placed under a guardian on
the plea of inability to. manage his
affairs, but they did not succeed. Max
employed the best legal talent to be
had, claiming that the action of his
relatives was conspiracy to defraud
him of his rights. He came off VIC
torious in the suit and celebrated the
event by inviting everybody who had
been in any way connected with the
trial to a grand dinner at the SWEETEST
restaurant in the city. The condition
imposed on the guests accepting the
invitation was that none should leave
the banqueting hall befo e draining the
loving cup. The cup provided for the
occasion held about four quarts and the
result can be imagined. Most Of the
guests were drunk as lords before the
festivities were half over, and the sup
per ended in an orgy which cost Max
| some $4,000 francs.
He inherited his vast wealth from his
| father, who was a sugar refiner and
successful business man. On account
| of his fathers business Lebaudy is
known as the little sugar-plum. He
has managed to be elected to member
ship of several swell clubs and is voted
a royal good fellow when not in his
''off'' moods. One of his costly fancies
a while ago was to buy up every scat
in leading theater and distribute the
tickets among the lower classes. He
provided red, white and blue dresses
| for every one in the audience, and
had the people grouped so as to form
a huge French flag. This whim of his
made him very popular in several quar-
ters on account of the patriotic spirit
| that marked the idea.
