School Suggested Fer Stick Carriers,

One of those things for which no
philosopher has been able to find rea-
sonable explanation is the growing tend
ency of young men to carry about with
them heavy walking sticks with very
large heads, formed either of knobs or
of huge crooks. If these formidable
weapons were used merely for the pur-
pose of aiding locomotion no one would
complain, but when their owners insist
on swinging them like the sail Of
windmill III a gale of wind, they, as
well as their sticks, become positive
nuisance. 1t is small comfort to per-
son who has nearly had an eye injured
by one of these miniature scaffold poles
to receive a kind Of apology from the
youth who does nNt know how to handle,
though in nine cases out of ten he has
not the courtesy to make even a reason.
able excuse. As stick now appears to
be an indispensable part of young
mans outfit, the school board ought
really to start classes for instruction in
the art Of carrying the article, just as in
first class boarding schools young ladies

Manual Training.

An old friend of DR.. Holmes says
About 20 years ago, being in Boston one
day, l called upon him and was ushered
into his library unannounced. As the
door opened heard a singular scraping
sound, and the doctor rose to meet me
with a slightly embarrassed air.
When the servant was gone, said,

He touched spring, and out from un-
der the library table rolled little bench
fitted out with a turning lathe and tools.
"This is the way rest myself" he
said. "But there are people in the world
who would think that if a physician
made 'jimcracks' he must be mad. So
when l think any such fools are coming
I touch this button, and away goes my

How the Enterprising Photographer Over
comes the Fears Of Hairless Sitters.
An agent soliciting trade for Broad
way photographer recently called at the
Park avenue home of one of New York 6
best known physicians and tried to con-
vince the doctor that he should have his
picture taken. He was selling IS
photograph coupons. The physician has
a terribly. bald head. Nothing but q
fretful fringe remains on an erstwhile
luxurious head of hair. On that account
he had long ago given up having pho
tographs of himself made, SO he replied:
mo; thank You. want none of
your coupons. l have broken myself Of
the photograph habit. NY head is too
bald for the business. -
But the agent was persistent, and
finally the physician said: II will make
you fair proposition. I will take a
double dose Of your coupons if you will
promise to fix my pictures SO the bald
spot will not show
"All right" said the agent after a
moments reflection. "Mr. - can ar
range that. Such things are done every
day in our business. Here are your cou-
pons. Come to the gallery for your sit
ting next Saturday."
When he went to the photographer s
studio the following Saturday, the doc
tor was met at the door by q lad who,
when the customer removed his silk
hat, said:
"Oh, this is Dr.. -, is it? Pass
right along this way" Curious to know
why this lad had been forewarned of
his visit, the physician passed in and
was finally met by young lady, who
glanced at his head and said:
ooh, Dr.. -, believe-the man
who wishes to have photographs which
will indicate that he has full growth
OF hair on his head:"
"1m the man," perplexedly replied
the physician as he went on out into the
operating room.
"Ah, said the man in charge of the
cameras, "this is DR.. -, is it not
the man for whom we are to make pho
tographs which will not show the bald
ness Of his head, as our agent promised.
Just kindly step over to the other end
OF the room. No; do not lay your coat
and hat down. Keep the overcoat on
your arm and kindly place your hat ON
your head That's right. Now look
pleasant, please. There, your picture S
taken!''
"Well. I hope can get home with

realized that he had been made the vic

His Way.

Personal abuse seems always to have
been the accompaniment of public life,
and those who are "old stagers," or
who are endowed with invincible good
humor, are able to receive it serenely.
O'Connell, the Irish patriot, was
called the big Beggarman" when he
was levying tribute from "the finest
pisantry in the world" to bring about
what he considered their lasting benefit.
Yet with O'Connell abuse was a ques-
ton of give and take. Prodigal of it
himself, he could resent it. 1t was he
who called the Duke of Wellington a
"stunted corporal" and in the house of
commons described Lord Alvanley as "a
creature half idiot. half maniac" and
"a bloated buffoon."
The person vexed by such billingsgate
should possess the philosophy of Paul
Louis Courier, who, when similarly as
sailed by French professor, quietly re-
marked:
81 fancy he must be vexed. He calls
me jacobin, rebel, plagiarist, thief,
poisoner, forger, leper, mailman, i'm
poster, calumniator, libeler, horrible,

what he wants to say. He means that
he and I are not of the same opinion,

EGG MATCHING IN EGYPT.
4 Method Of Incubation Which L. - OF,

4 Method Of Incubation Which L. - Old
- the Christian Era
Among the fellahs Of modern Egypt q
process Of incubation is in use which
has been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time of Diodorus, who,
20 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 to those Matched in the usual way.
The process is described in Natare.
Ovens are built, consisting of cham
Der about II feet square and feet high,
with fiat roof. Above this another
chamber, 9 feet high, it built, with O
vaulted roof, having small opening in
the middle to admit light Below q
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 to 8 in the evening. The
first batch Of eggs is left for half day
in the warmest place and then it 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 a 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 to
reveal if they are warmer than the hu-
man skin. The whole process lasts 81
days, but the thin shelled eggs often
hatch in Is. The heat required is sc F.
Excessive heat is undesirable.
