Despite the fact that the audience is
not easily seen by the actor, he can, by
holding a fan or a book between the
binding lights and the eyes, distinguish
friends in the audience, and, like David
Garrick, play 10 one face among the

Their pathway was banked with 400, 0OO
persons who gave the boys in blue rcccp-
ton that will never be forgotten.
The weather was clear. The line of
march was limited to , Z miles.
The feature of the third division was
the Rhode Island contingent, looking spick
and span in white duck trousers and blue
coats. and the New Hampshire delegation.
Between the two first posts of the latter
four sturdy veterans carried cage con-

\ PRIMITIVE INCUBATOR.
An Australian Bird Builds a Mound In
Which to Hatch Its Young.

An Australian traveller has recently
brought to light a rather remarkable fact
which seems to explain the invention of
the incubator. The story is nothing moro
nor less than that of an extremely primi-
tive incubator that several species of Aus
tralian birds known as mound builders"
construct for the purpose of Matching their
young The most artistic of these mound
builders is the brush turkey or Tallcgalla
lathami, which is called the weelan by the
natives
The mounds these strange birds build
are conical and sometimes rise to the
height of nearly ten feet In building
them the birds first draw a large circle with
their claws and march around it, throw
ing clawfuls of sticks and rubbish in tho
center. When a sufficient quantity Of
material is gathered, it is then piled up
symmctrically and tightly.
On the accomplishment of this the hen
flies up on the summit, and scooping away
q cavity two feet or more In depth deposits
the eggs in a circle, with the largo end up
ward, carefully covering them. The fer
mcntation of the mass of vegetable matter
and the heat of the sun hatch them. Both
the male and the female stay faithfully
around the mound, keeping close watch
and soaring off intruders.
When the young birds come out of tho
egg, they stay in the mound for at least .
hours. On the second day they fight their
way out with both wings and legs fairly
developed. Late in the afternoon these
fledgelings are put back in the mound again
by their parents, but at diminished
depth, and they are only lightly covered
Twenty-four hours later they are strong
and well equipped for flight and running
The Australian jungle fowl, mcgapo,
dius, is an even greater mound builder,
the heaps it raises sometimes rising to .
height of nearly 16 feet 1t is the Aus
tralian tradition that these birds were
originally ten feet high, and when hunted
by the natives in the early days of tho
earth threw up the mountain ranges oil
the country while cndeavoring to escape
New York World.

ADVANCE REFUSED.
Fall River Mills Unanimously Refuse
Demand of the Viewers.
Business Prospects Are Good. Blu! Prospects
Do Not Pay Wages

Fail River. Mass. Sept. 1.-THE meet
inc held nv the manufacturers, this after
mon was attended by about half the
members Of the association, and did not
r.n,.in IN session more than ID minutes
The sentiment was unanimously against
granting any advance in wsges, and there
WAS no discussion.
Afrer tn. weavers' letter had been read
in which an increase of 10 per cent. was
asked vote was called Tor. It was de
cided without single dissenting voice
not to advance wages and to appoint a
o3mmittee of four TO draw up letter ex-
plaining to the weavers why the sought
for increase should not be made.
The committee held meeting immedi-
ately after the Adjournment of the associa
tiou meeting, and discussed what would
be the best form of a letter to send to the
operatives. This letter will not be given
nublicitv until the Weavers Union receives
II. simply as matter of courtesy.
In substance the letter says that the
manufacturers cannot afford 10 increase
the wages at the present time, because the
margin for q profitable business is not
large enough to warrant doing so.
Cotton has advanced to s 4. cents, and
this sharp advance has not been any more
than equalized by the advance in prices
for cloth They will make it clear that
the profits OF the past six months came
9hoily from speculative buying when cot
ton was cheap.
All the mills did not follow this policy
Those that did not have been buying cot
ton for some time at the advanced quota
lions.
They conccde that tho prospects for a
steady fall trade now seem fair, but to ad
vance wages because of prospective bust
ness, would be not only impolttic but
might be followed later by reductions and
serious troubles
The weavers will hold general meet
ing, tomorrow night. It is thought that
The letter will reach Sec. Whitehead before
that time. Two officials of the union
gave their opinion. tonight that there
would be no strike.
The action of the state board of arbltra
ton and Cancellation ia the matter of the
linen mill strike was made public, today,
he board having sent Sec. Howard the
following: We deem it our duty to in
form you that we are fully assured that if

American Linen Co, Monday next, every
thing will be done by the management to
make the spinning as good as it can be

There is little question that the method
of ripening the cream by pure cultures Ct
bacteria is sure to become popular, for it
makes it possible for the butter maker to
obtain uniformity all the year round
Their use is rapidly growing, and, in the
opinion of our best butter makers, it will
not be long before their use will become
almost universal; there will thus be pro-
duced almost revolution in the methods
of butter making, says DIR. Conn of the
Pennsylvania department of agriculture
1t IS impossible to say how long any one

Bacterloloeists have learned that the ply
Biological characters of bacteria species
undergo changes with continued cultiva-

in use may lose their powers of pre-

the method of using pure cultures for
ripening cream is based upon such a
logically correct principle that there can
be little doubt as to It's future application.
If there has been anything taught in
the last three years, DR. Conn says, it has
been the extreme necessity for cleanli-
ness. The great source of bacterial con-
tamination of the milk is the COW herself.
This does not mean the bacteria from the
mammary gland, but those connected
with the exterior of the cow. 1t is trre
that there are other sources of Importance.
The food that the COW eats Indirectly,
the COW stall itself, the water with which
the cans are washed or with which the
milk is adulterated, the hands of the
milker as we'll as his clothes, are all oc-
casionally the sources of bacterial con-
tamination. But after all we must look
upon the COW hers elf as the cause of the
most trouble. The farmer never appears
to feel that it is necessary for him to keep
his COWS as clean as he docs his horse
but there is very much more real need for
cleanliness in the case of the COW. Upon
such cleanliness will depend his ability to
obtain pure, wholesome kind of milk,
