OF LADY.

Here's . piQuant, pensite maiden,
Gracious as a summer night,
When the breeze, with fragrance laden
Pipes its chorus Of delight.
Shapely as some Grecian shepherd,
Posing in untutored ease,
Supple as some tawny leopard
Gambling amid the trees.
How describe that liquid laughter,
Gurgling like a mountain rill?
Soaring, ringing meath the rafter,
Sanguine, splendid, never still.
How portray the regal bearing?
Stately as some gracious queen.
Or some widowed duchess wearing
Jewels Of a lustrous sheen.
And your t!morous tread is lighter
Than the shy and q~uivering deer,
And your ivory brow is brighter
Than the dawning Of the year;
And your voice is low and thrilling,
Sweeter than a mourning dove
Cooling for her mate and filing
All the air with plants Of love.
Inky black those silken ~tresses,
COiling like the ravens wing,
Shrinking from the winds caresses,
Clustering in the roguish ring.
And your lustrous eyes are tender,
Stainless as some splendid star
My paltry homage do I render,
Thin echoes trickling from afar.

Minneapolis. Nov. 6-Patrolman J:
81. Thompson. Of the South side police,
was m~iraculously saved from death
last night by two brass checks which
turned the course of a bullet shot at
him by a man named Walter Fuer.
The trouble occurred In Lee Hammars
lund's saloon, go Washington avenue
south. Fuer came in early In the
evening and ordered a number Of
drinks. They had reached IS cents
worth when the bartender demanded
payment. Fuer offered the bartender
% cents. This was refused and the
two got into Il fight. The proprietor
iDterfered, when Fuer drew a revolver
and fired at Oberg, the bartender. OF
ficer Thompson heard the report and
rushed into the saloon by the rear
door. He grabbed Fuer by the collar;
and as he did so the latter aimed the
revolver Mt the officers breast and
fred. The officer staggered for a mo-
ment, but held to his man. Fuer was
o~verpowered and taken to the Third
precinct station. Thompson found
the ball in his pocket, embedded in
the brass checks.

Incubation.

Incubation gives the chick its active
start in life, hence during the incu.
batting period the hen should be I'M.
disturbed and have the best of COM
fort that she may give undivided at
tention to the matter in hand. Her
nest should be free from lice and other
pests. for they are Of no benefit and
are only %disturbers.
More chicks lives are destroyed by
carelessness during incubation than
at any other time by unfaithful set
ters disturbed by some intruder.
Setting IN the ground is not ad-
visable, as too much moisture will d.
minish a hatch wonderfully.
In winter 1t is difficult to keep up
the temperature, and this should be
seen to IL you expect q good hatch.
Above all have good fertile eggs. See
that the parent birds have plenty of
exercise 50 that the germs In the eggs
be more vigorous. For, although the
incubating period is in one n the
beginning Of the fowls life, much de-
ponds upon it's ancestors. II they were
q poor class Of birds the new bird will
inherit some of their p~eculiaritfes. If
they were a good class, the good quail
tiles will be produced in the chicks.
Over fat fowls is one great cause Of
30 many eggs being infertile.-P. II.

There is much fascination in study.

it. These few words will suffice to

Laura" said the husband Of the
Emancipated Woman sternly.
"What is it, dear?" asked the latter
in a conciliatOry manner, for she saw
that trouble was coming.
Laura, in the last three weeks I
have given you three letters to mail,
addressed to dear papa. What have
you done with themY"
"Mailed them, Of course" replied the
wretclled woman IN a determination
to bluff it out IL possible.
Laura" the husband went on, 'that
is not true. l received a letter from
papa today in which he says he has
not heard from me for a month, and
anxiously asking If anything is the
matter. Now you have got those let
tiers somewhere about your clothes, If
you haven't lost them. l know just
as well as I know that I am standing
here that you eve mailed those let
ters. Now go through your pockets

The Emancipated Woman began to
look through her pockets, and soon
turned out the missing letters, which
she laid on the table, with the remark:
WELL, I could have sworn that ! put
those letters in the letter box at the
corner" .
The man sneered. "You can't trust
a woman to do anything" he retorted.
Hereafter I'll mail my own letters,
and l won't occupy your very valuable
time with such errands. Before you
go 1 want $40 for household ex-

laid the money down on the table and

UTILIZING THE CULM HEAPS.
The Plan to Turn Them Into Electri,
Power at Nominal Cost.

The Plan to Turn Them Int Electric
Power Mt Nominal Cost.
For many years the question of the
utilization of the immense heaps In
the neighbOrhood Of Scranton, Wilkes
barre and other coal-producing centers,
has remained u%nsOlved. This coal re-
fuse has not only been utterly useless
heretofore, but has offered insurmOunt-
abb ~edificulties in the way Of it's dis
position. One of the plans devised for
conservation of the vast energy wasted
in the culm heaps was to pipe the coal
refuse to the great cities, much as Pc
troleum is piped to tide-watcr from the
oil fields of Western Pennsylvania.
The element of expense, however, pre-
vented the project from materializing,
and the unsightly black heaps still
remain.
Recent a~dvancements in the electric
al art seem to have suggested a prac.
teal plan for the disposal of the rub
bish necessarily accommodating ut the
pit mouth. 1t has been found that the
culm can be utilized for fuel under
good economic conditions, in the gen.
Grafton Of electricity. Tests recently
made under the direction Of the Scran.
ton chamber of commerce show that,
with culm costing Is cents at the door
Of the furnace, electricity can be gen.
Grated ut q cost of a fraction owe IS
per horsepower per year, continuous,
or tWenty-f0ur hour power. This cost
is less than the lowest figure which

Of Niagara. or course, TINS low figure
Is based upon the difference In cost Of
Ingfo1 v{rsp fhn n10v MT Mt Nt0 ao nm 0rA f1n
plant now proposed at Wilkesbarrc.
ton Of economy In its consumption in
reality cuts no figure. 1t is not neces-
sary, therefore. to provide furnaces
with costly devices in the way of fuel
saving appliances. 1t is not, of course,
by reason of the low cost Of installing
the W~ilkesbarre plant that the figures
given for the cost of the current are so
much less than the cost of cheap water
power from the. cataract.
1t has been inti1nated that the pro-
posed installation Of the great electric
plant at Wilkesbarre has been depend
ent upon the result Of the experiments
at Niagara Falls. The power compa-
ny, at an expense Of millions Of dol
lars, has demonstrated the practicable
fty and economy of generating electric
ity with enormously large units. and
at pOtentials which were regarded as
impractical BILE a few years ago. It has
been shown that the current can be
transmitted for at least a reasonable
distance and compete with steam pow
er produced by moderately cheap coal.
1t Is not surprising, therefore, that the
e%nterprising Pennsylvanians should
avail themselves Of this expensive ex-
p%erience, and proceed to utilize the en-.
ergy in their ugly culm heaps.

Dirty EGGS VIII Not Keep.

In laying down eggs for winter, care
should be taken to see that they are
perfectly clean. The shell Is porous,
and the odor of any filth attached to it
quickly penetrates to the interior and
begins the process Of decomposition.
1t Is impossible to keep eggs many
months and have them exactly like
fresh eggs. The evaporation from the
egg robs it of its moisture, though this
is largely prevented by immersing the
egg in lime water. But all water, ex
cept that which has been just boiled,
contains some air. Packing eggs in
salt will keep them for a short time,
and is the easiest and cheapest way
of keeping them for home use.

FERMENTATION for soilinr.

II any farmer is intending to soil
his cows the next year, this is the
time to begin by putting in n acre
of rye for every six cows he may
have. AS one square rod Of 1t will
feed a COW one day, it is easy to figure
up just what each will want. Some
part Of the farm, too, may be sown
with orchard grass, which is excellent
feed to follow the rye, and with a few
acres Of clover will carry the cows on
until the earliest sweet corn will be
ready. Then sweet corn in succession
will fill the needs of the cows until
the fall, when some green millet sown
next June will come in as a change
before the winter feeding of ensilage
begins. This method of feeding will
keep one COW to the acre all the sum-
mer, with something for the winter,
which will go into the silo. A sllo and
summer selling will reduce the cost
Of butter to 10 cents q pound, or Of
milk to less than half q cent a mound.

An experience of YER twenty years

First, l believe that one who Is near
large cities can get the most profit
from fat lambs from two to three
months old, If he gets them to market
early in the season. The next. most
profitable age is from six months to
one year old, and there will always be
a market for ripe sheep Of mature age.
