EGG MATCHING IN EGYPT.
A Method of Incubation Which Is as Old as
tho Christian Era.

A Method of Incubation Which Is as Old as
the Christian Era.
Among the fellahs of modern Egypt
process of incub baton is in use which
has been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time of Diodorus,
who, forty years before the Christian
era, said that the Egyptians brought
eggs to maturity with their own hands,
and that the chickens Matched thus
were not inferior to those Matched in
the usual way. ;
Ovens are built, consisting Of a cham
Der about eleven feet square and four
feet high, with flatroof. Above this
another chamber, nine feet high, 10
built, with vaulted roof, having a
small opening in the middle to admit
light. Below, larger opening COM
muncates with the room underneath.
In cold weather both rooms are kept
closed and lamp is left burning in
in each, entrance then being had
through the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready the proprie-
tor goes to the neighboring villages
and collects eggs. They are placed on
mats, strewn with bran, in the lower
chamber. Fires are then lighted in
troughs along the sides of the upper
room, the eggs being in two lines i'm
mediately below. The fires are light
ed twice day, the first dying out at
noon, and the other burning from
three to eight in the evening. The
first batch of eggs is left for half day
in the warmest place and then makes
its way for the aext, until all
have been warmed. This process is
kept up for six days, when the eggs
are examined carefully in a strong
light. Those that are clear are cas-;
aside. Those that are cloudy are pu,
back in the oven for another four days
They are then removed for five days tt
another chamber, where there are nc
fires. but the air is excluded. After
this they are placed an inch or two
apart and continually turned. this las,
stage taking six or seven days.
The eggs are examined CONSTANTLY
by being held against the upper cyclic
to reveal IL they are warmer than tn,
human skin. The whole process last,
twenty-one days, but thin-shelled egg,
often hatch in eighteen. The heat re
quircd is eighty-six degrees Fahren

The rough, rushing forward to help
Ritter, was met by a mighty shoulder
that almost knocked the breath from
his body Then Jack, in spite of a
shower Of blows at close quarters and
the interference of the loafer, flung
the rough upon the stairs. lie rolled
half way down the first flight before
stopping.
The fellow, by no means deficient in
courage, was coming up to renew the
conflict, when he was met by the
loafer descending at great speed, and
the two came upon the landing in a
heap, to which their employer, Mr..
Ritter, was promptly added.
They sat for some seconds feeling
their bruises, and doubtful whether to
continue the struggle. Then Jack de-
scended to them. At his approach
they rose, doubtful whether to fight or
fly. But Jack said, sweetly:
Don't be scared. I'm not going to
kick you down another tlight--not If
you're peaceable, Ritter. just want
to hand you back those two half
dollars you gave us We haven't ex-
actly earned them, you know"
Jack tossed the money to Ritter and
went laughing upstairs
Then the loafer, for the first time
that evening, spoke:
Seems likes easier a-goin' down
two fight than a-goin' up one some
times!'
This counsel prevailed, and the three
were soon in The street, Ritter loudly
vowing he would get together some
more men and have his revenge that
night.

SUCCESS OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL
The Rigid Rule Of Chancellor BoggS
in Respect to Foot Ball Games.


in Respect to Foot Ball Games.
Athens. Ga, Oct 2O.-The State Nor
NAL School has now been in session about
six months and the record it has made
is one which every citizen of Georgia
should be proud
1t is work separate and distinct from
any ever done in Georgia.
The state has done very little for the
elevation and Improvement of the teach
er. With the exception of the work done
in the line of teacher training at Milledge-
vile and Dahlonega and a few private
institutions the teacher has been left to
drift along as best he could.
The state has now by equipping the nor
NAL school located here committed her
self TO the policy of training teachers for
her schools.
BY means of the appropriation of &c.
0JO by the legislature the State Normal
school has been made a permanent in
sutution. 1t is here to stay. 1t is here to ac-
compIlsh great good for the teachers of
the state In preparing them for their
work and giving them higher ideals of
Ire and impressing upon them the re-
sponsibility of their position as commits
stoned officers of the state.
The success of the school is already
assured The plans inaugurated by resi-
dent Bradwen have brought the Normal
school within reach of the average teach
err, who Is working in the school for a
very small salary. Expenses have been
reduced to about 81 per MONTH
there is an abundance of wholesome
food prepared No one connected with
the management makes any profit; and
the student only pays his proportionale
part of the cost of provisions and the hire
of servants, etc.
Good work is done in all these de-
partments by the able corps of instruct
ors and the students exhibit great entnu-
slasm in their work.
President Bradwell furnishes the fol-
lowing statistics of the school: Enroll
ment. us; males, So; females, 122; counties
represented, 63.
Every available foot of space is oc-
cupied and the dormitory is not only
full, but crowded The great need of the
school IS more room. With enlarged ia
cilities for sleeping and eating, there
should not run the enrolment up to 400
or 800 next year.
As the football season IS at hand. and
the University boys are scheduled to play
wishes II known that the rule adopted by
the faculty as to the players will be strict
~ adhered to- No player who falls behind
IN his studies will, under any conditions,
be allowed to play in a game until he
makes up the deficiency.
-Four white boys, whose names have not
been given to the public, have been in
dicted by the grand jury for completely in

white boys indicted are charged with push
ing the little negroes in the pond.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars Necessary
to Secure the Plant.
Palatka, Fla, Oct 2O.-According to
agreement, Mr.. George B. Selden, of
the firm of Seden & Van Wagenen, met
with the citizens at the council rooms
yesterday afternoon to present propo-
sition in connection with the establish
ment of a large sash and door factory
here
Mr.. Seden addressed the meeting and
said, in effect, that his firm was willing
to bring it's plant to Palatka for a cash
consideration of $4,000 and exemption
from taxes. After some discussion it was
decided that this sum could not be raised
by popular subscription, SO the advisable
ity of bonding the city for the required
amount was considered. This could be
done lawfully. in an indirect way, as in
the case of the bonus given to the Flor
ida Southern railroad some years ago.
Speeches favorable to the. project were
made by Mr. Loeb, DR.. STEM Judge Gil
lis, DR.. Welsh and others. 1t was de-
cided to appoint a committee of five 10
consider how to raise the money. The
committee consists of Messrs. Welsh,
Tighlman, Thomas, Loeb and Rifles. The
committee will confer with Mr.. Selden
and report at a meeting to be held
Wednesday.

Like BanquO's Ghost, 1t VIII Not
Down.
Editor Morning News: I see that Mr..
Public Spirit is making a desperate fight
for the removal of waste paper from our
streets, and truly his efforts should not
remain unaided. At the same time it
strikes me that he has but two sugges-
uons to make, the goat" which has
been proven beyond a doubt, impossible,
and the scavenger department. Now, in
my humble opinion the mayors attitude
Is not untenable, and is merely reflex
Of what is done in larger cities, but
would suggest, also, that fine be i'm
posed upon tenants for allowing paper
TO remain in front of their houses. This
would seem almost impracttcable, but it
is not and there would soon be such a
raking and sweeping in front of our
doors, that strangers coming into the
city would vote us the very pink of neat
ness" If he people Of Philadelphia can
scrub the fronts of their houses for the
sake of neatness, why cannot we rake
and sweep IN front OF our doors? The
movement would have to be general, OF
course, else 1t would be as impossible to
resist the avalanche of paper as it Il
provided with barrels for waste paper,
but just you walk through the squares
dren throwing paper everywhere and-I
grieve to write tilt is generally the lit
tie girls, God bless themi who are guilty
of this offense. The teacher whose duty
ii is to watch the children at recess, con
fines her attention principally to the
boys. with the result that the girls are
careless in these small matters. OF
course she knows that they are not go
ing to indulge in scrapping matches,
and sports OF like character; hence, she
deems it her duty to watch the boys and
keep peace among them. If everything
else fails, there are the methods adopted
by the "Village Improvement Associa-
tion," but even this would be unneces-
sary If mayor, policemen, merchant,
teachers and housekeepers would unite
in their efforts to remove the objectiona-
