4 MethoE Of Incubation which Il AZ Old
~ the Christian Era

Among the fellahs Of modern Egypt n
process of incubation is in use which
has been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time Of Diodorus, who,
40 years before the Christian era. said
that the Egyptians brought eggs to ma
turity with their own hands and that
the chickens Matched thus were not in
ferior 10 those Matched in the usual way.
The process is described in Nature
Ovens are built. consisting Of cham
Der about II feet square and 4 feet high,
with a flat roof Above this another
chamber, 3 feet high. il built with a
vaulted roof, having small opening in
the middle TO admit light Below
larger opening communicates with the
room underneath. In cold weather both
rooms are kept closed and lamp is left
burning in each, entrance then being
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 be-
ing in two lines Immediately below
The fires are lighted twice day, the
first dying out at noon and the other
burning from 8 to in the evening. The
first batch of eggs is left for half day
IN the warmest place and then il makes
way for the next, until all have been
warmed. This process is kept up for six
days, when the eggs are examined care
fully in strong light. Those that are
clear are cast aside. Those that are
cloudy are put back in the oven for an
other four days. They are then removed
for five days to another chamber. where
there are no fires, but the air is excluded.
After this they are placed an inch or two
apart and continually turned, this last
stage taking six or seven days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against the upper eyelid &c

man skin The whole process lasts 2
days, but the thin shelled eggs often

EpnRAIM AND lie BEAR.
How HE Killed Y.ariinE In Fair
Fight without Weapons.

OH Ep.raim a, father ct Anse

was also mighty hunter, and bad one
ambition Il was 10 killa yearhng bear
in a fair fight without any weapons
other il.an those nature provided him
with. Every day that ne felt especially
strong he would go cut with his dogs
and his boys. and, freeing bear, would
get him down and fight him. When
bruin would hegin 10 get the best Of the
encounter, he wonld call his boys 70 let
loose the dogs. Year after year passed
and Ephraim had not yet whipped a
bear
One day "a fine yearling bear was
freed, and as Cuffy was climbing to a
place Of safety old man Hatfield cut of
a piece of the animal 5 tail with a quick
blow of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out:
Hes likely varmint. Stan aside,
boys, AN watch yo' dad. I'm comm,
BARI And he clutched the bear by the
throat.
The animal got its paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost i'm
possible to distinguish man from beast
in the cloud The boys held the dogs
and encouraged the old man by shout
ing TO him:
600 it, palA You've got 'eml Give
it to i'm, dad -
Down the hill the two rolled until
they could roll no farther
"Let loose the dogs y shouted the old
man. LET 'em loose The critters got
mep'
But the boys thought the old man
would never have better opportunity
to realize his ambition and whip a year
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
to have assistance, began TO use his feet
and hands with an energy born of de-
spair, and in half AN hour he succeeded
in choking the animal 10 death, but not
until his clothes were torn to shreds and
his face and body were covered with
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed so freely that it left a crimson
trail wherever the man went Dragging
the carcass out of the pit Ephraim start
ed after the boys, and it would have
Jared roughly with them, but they fed.
The old man reached his home and was
almost dead from loss Of blood, but his
ambition had been reali2ed-he had
whipped yearling bear in a fair fight.
The boys hid ont in the woods for sew
eral days, and would not return until
their father, whose jcy at his success
had got the better Of lis pain and an
ger, sent them word that lie would not
whip them if they returned Hatfield
never wearied telling how he whipped
yearling bear, and his sons are equally
proud of their father achievement -

HE KNEW OLD ABE.
Senator Sherman's Eulogy of Lincoln Dur.
ing His Campaign For Reelection.

Senator Shermans EulOgN al Lincoln Dur
ing His Campaign For Reelection.
Senator Sherman of Ohio in a speech
at Sandusky, DUNG the campaign for
Lincoln S reelection, in the fall of 1864,
drew this rough but accurate outline Of
the lamented Presidents character:
Il know Old Abe, and l tell you
there is not, at this hour, more patri-
otto or a truer man living than that
man, Abraham Lincoln. Some say he is
an imbecile, but he not only held his
own in his debates with Douglas, whose
mower is admitted, and whom / consid-
er the ablest intellect in the United
States senate, but got little the better
of him. He has been deliberate and
slow, but when he puts his foot down
it is with the determination and GER
tainty with which our generals take
their steps, and, like them, when he
takes a city he never gives up. This
firm old man is noble and kind hearted
He is child of the people. Go to him
with a story of woe, and he Will weep
like a child. This man, so condemned,
works more hours than any other presi-
dent that ever occupied the chair. His
solicitude for the public welfare is new
er ceasing. / differed from him at first
myself, but at last felt and believed
that he was right, and shall vote for
this brave, true patriotic, kind hearted
man. All his faults ard mistakes you
have seen. All his virtues you can new
er know. His patience in labor is won
derful He works far harder than any
man in Erie county. AT the head Of this
great nation-look at it He has all the
bills to sign passed by congress. No one
can be appointed to amy office without
his approval No one can be punished
without the Judgment receives his sig
nature, and no one pardoned without
his hand. This man-always right, al
ways just-we propose to re-elect now
