fifty pounds, attached to their ankles,

ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.

a German Has Invented One Which 10
Said to Be Successful.
The idea of an electric incubator has
long been looked upon by poultry farm
ers as too theoretical to be of any real
service. Herr Otto Schulze, who has
been steadily striving to perfect such q
system in Germany, has, it is said, at
length succeeded in constructing an
apparatus operated electrically, which
overcomes the ordinary difficulties OF
the artificial Matching Of chickens. The
apparatus is easily manipulated, and
needs small, but constant, supply OF
current. Automatic attachments reg
ulate both temperature and moisture.
the adjustment working with such deli
cacy thata temperature is kept within
one-tenth Of degree of the normal heat
of Incubation. From 80 to 100 eggs are
hatched at one time. Herr Schulze Is
said to have remedied certain points in
the electric mother" which were
found to interfere with itseffectiveness.
This continuance, which is box, in
which freshly-hatched chicks can find
heat and protection, while they are free
to run about on the ground when they
choose, has been devised as an accom-
paninent to the incubator.

DEER HUNTING BY LOCOMOTIVE

The Reason Some Adircndacks Railroad
Mon Didn't Feast ON venison.
Once in awhile the engineer of a
train on Dr. Seward Webb's Adirondack
railroad has a race with deer. Some
times it happens that the frightened
deer won't leave the track and is killed.
One night in September, when Pat
Cummings was pulling the through
train down to Utica, he walked back
to Conductor Clarke, while his fireman
was taking water at Nehosene, and
raid:
''Rill, / killed a deer back there by
the river. It was fine big buck. He
run ahead of me for long piece, and
could see him plain. When l hit him
he went up over the pilot higher'n he
ever jumped before in Lis life, l bet. He
landed just out there i'll the ditch. and
/ had notion to stop and get him, but
Twas afraid you'd kick"
II wisL you had stopped" said
Clarke. "The next time you catch .
deer that way you stop. 1t won't take
30 long to get him, and we can easily
make up the time. Deer meat is too
scarce and too high to let it go like
that"
Cummings said he surely would stop
the next time, and Clarke got the agent
TO telegraph to the agent at Horseshoe
to send the section men down to the
river with their hand car to get the
deer. It was after II o'clock, but tha
section men started out, and after q
smart pull got down to the river. They
looked long time, but could find no
deer. Up and down the track they
went, and at last were just about ia
give up in disgust when one of the men
found it. It lay out on the bank OF the
ditch beside the track. 1t was q fine
large yellow dog.
Now il you ask Pat Cummings it he
has killed deer lately you want to be
ready to dodge, and dodge mighty
quick, for Pat il husky citizen.-N.Y r

NORTHERN WITCHES.
In Modern Times Belief In Them as

In Modern Times Belief In Thom 6aA
Been Quite Common.
So lately as the middle of this century
a girl of Louisburgh, near Wick, was ac-
cused of being in league with the
'pooers o. mischief" and remedy akin
to that recently practiced with such
tragic results in Ireland was devised.
She was placed in a basket, lined with
shavings of wood, which was then hung
over fire. The issue in this case was
not fatal, but the folk averred that she
was not "half so witch-like" after she
had been singed. A hag of the northern
isles was at times thought to be meta
morphosed into q porpoise, and in fair
weather she would dive under and over
turn fishing boat, against whose skip
per she bore grudge. On one occasion
she was made to place her hand on the
bodies of several men who had met
their death in such q way, and, in the
words of the old chronicler, one "bled
at the collir bane," another "in the
hands and fingers, gushing out bluld
thairat, to the great admiratione OF the
beholders and revelation OF the judg-
ment of the Almychtie."
A host of stories tell of northern
witches who have given diseases t.
horses, oxen and focks of moorland
sheep. Herdsmen to this day distrust
unknown persons who touch the food
of their kye, lest it be poisoned. In
Shetland the cat or vaneja is regarded
as an animal which brings good luck;
If she is seen to run toward the boats
must there is sure to be q good catch.
In Chaithness, on the contrary, witches
frequently appear in the form OF cats.
A carpenter of Scrabster in the olden
times was systematically robbed of his
meal and cakes. He thought it "cu'na
be cannie," and one night as he watched
he saw q number of cats devouring his
property. In trice he cut of the right
leg of one Of them, whereupon they
made their escape with rapidity which
confirmed his former suspicious. Short

of Port Blakely, Wash. During the ten

mated that the total output for 1895

An apostle Of physical culture, ac-

that nervous headache may be cured by
the simple act OF walking backward
for ten minutes. "It is well to get in a

headache, this exercise promotes q
