Those Who Have Tried Them Pronounce
Them Great Success.
In order to be successful in wintering
swine. both old and young, it becomes
necessary for many hog raisers to give
the question of sleeping quarters more
serious attention. Many lot ofsnice,
thrifty shoats go into winter quarters
only to come out in the spring having
barely held their own in weight and
growth, and perhaps are somewhat
stunted. Wintering hogs in large
droves and around strawstacks is not
conducive to best results. One great
objection to the practice of many
farmers in allowing large numbers to
nest together is that they pile up in
cold weather, in which condition they
generate a good deal of moisture.
What farmer but what has seen the
steam rising from a nest of swine? ?
When they come forth from such a
condition on cold winter morning
they are very apt to take cold. When
they leave the nest wet and warm and

WINTER MATCHING.
Everthing Considered, There 10 Not Much
Money In It.

Everthing Considered, There IL Not Much
Money in It.
Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one II
confident of securing good matches and
of raising the chick, says the Mirror and
Farmer. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come, and then
lose three of them, means an expendi-
ture of four eggs for one chick, and no
one can afford the cost in that respect!
The heaviest loss of chicks is with hens
not with incubatOrs and brooders-
and this fact should not be overlooked.
1t is admitted that in the spring and
summer when the hen has everything in
her favor she will be more serviceable
than the brooder, but in the winter,
when cold winds, ice, snow and rains
prevail, the hen has difficult undertake
ing to care for herself instead of at
tempting to raise a brood, and asa rule,
the hens are fortunate5if if theyraise one
half of the chicks hatched.
When hen becomes broody make her
nest in a warm place, and when she
brings off her brood have place pre-
pared for her, under shelter and where
the sunlight can come. Be careful that
the chicks are not exposed or become
chilled, and aim to raise everyone of
them. In that case the chicks will pay
because the expense of the eggs used
will be reduced by reason of the larger
number of chicks marketed.

How to Tell Fresh E<rs.

A correspondent of the Dakota
Farmer asks rs there any sure way Of
distinguishing perfectly fresh eggs
from tainted ones. or those that have
been set upon by hens for several days?
Gambling is quite q sure method, but if
there is any other would be glad to
know it, The following reply is
given: ITO the experienced eye the
roughish or granulated surface of the
perfectly fresh egg distinguishes it at
once from the more shiny or polished
surface of the one that has been under
the hen day or two. We can pick out
every fresh egg among a nestful of
those that have been sat on two days,
even in the dark. The secret is very
simple. Just scratch over the surface
with the finger nail, if it CRATES the egg
is fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly
the egg is old. A little practice makes
this sure test. .
Secure quantity of leaves for the
hens to scratch in this winter. Place
them in the hen house and scatter the
grain therein. The fowls will get need.

THIS BOY is A MECHANIC
George H. Woodbury., at Six
teen Years, Builds a
Launch.
His Strange, Bright Light Causes
Policemen to Prohibit Him From
Wheeling at Night.

George ii. Wood bury, the 16-year-old
son OF George E. Woodbury., manufact-
urer of ore concentrators at 141 and LAB
First street, has just performed feat of
mechanical skill that would do credit to
one many years his senior.
1t is not every boy that can design and
put up boiler and engine complete in
all its workings and capable of propelling
boat through the water from twelve to
fifteen miles an hour. This is what the
lad has accomplished.
Ever since he was able to know any
thing about machinery his whole time has
been devoted to it.
He is at present a student at Anderson's
Preparatory school at Sixteenth and
Guerrero streets, preparing himself to
take the mining and civil engineering
course at The State University.
The boiler he has just constructed Is OF
the water-tube pattern and generates
pressure of 800 pounds of steam TO the
square inch. The tubing of the boiler IS
l inch in diameter, thus allowing this high
pressure.
lkPetroleum is used as fuel, and when
the machinery is in motion it is run on
the same principle as q naphtha engine,
large tanks of petroleum being stored In
lockers on each siCe of the boat.
The engines are double and of the YER
teal fOre-and-aft com pound type designed
to turn from 400 to 600 revolutions
minute and capable of developing from
so to go horsepower, running with ZOO-
pound pressure OF steam.
Young Woodbury. is thoroughly con-
versant with all the workings OF an en-
CINE, and can run one as intelligently as a
licensed engineer. He is now putting his
machinery into a launch which he had
built by George w. Kneass. He expects
when everything is in working order that
the boat will beat anything of her size on
the bay. She is % feet long, feet beam
and feet 6 inches deep, and is called the
Allegro. She is now lying at Long Bridge.
In addition to building engines and
boilers the boy is somewhat OF an in
ventor, and has got up an electric light Tor
a bicycle that can be put into successful
operation.
He has ridden with this continuance at
tached to his own bike up Golden Gate
avenue several times, but every time he
appeared on the avenue the police invari-
ably drove him off, as the light resembled
a miniature lighthouse coming along and
caused too many runaways.
The light would burn very steadily Tor
six hours and throw its rays ahead OF the
wheel for about fifteen feet.
On the two front forks OF the machine
are placed large tubes filled with oxygen.
| On the handle-bars is another tube hlled
with ether, and between the crossbars Is
arranged neat little battery. Wires con-
| meet with the oxygen tubes and the ether

SWALLOWED LAUDUNUM
Mrs. r. Lively of Sacramento Having
Nothing to- Live for Attempts to
Commit Suicide.

Mrs. F. Lively, about 80 years of age, at
tempted to commit suicide yesterday
morning by swallowing an ounce of
laudanum.
She came from Sacramento Saturday
night and engaged room in the lodging
house, 921 Market street. Shortly after z
O'Clock yesterday morning she went to
the Iandlady's room and asked for q spoon
TO take some medicine as she was suffer-
ing from neuralgia. She got the spoon
and in few minutes opened the door of

sion to go into Mrs. Lively's room and

Hospital and Mrs. Lively was taken there
in the ambulance. The usual remedies
we're applied and she regained conscious
ness. Two "trusties" from the City

Archbishop Riordan breaches on
the Descent of the Holy
Spirit.
MANY CHILDREN CONFIRMED.
Beautiful Spectacle at st Mary's Cathe.
dral After the Solemn High
Mass.

Pentecost Sunday, the anniversary of
the great day when tongues of fire de-
scended upon Christ's apostles in the
upper chamber in Jerusalem, came yester-
day. All over the world the festival was
celebrated by the Catholic church with
becoming ceremonies, and in this City
there was no exception 10 the rule. At
the late masses the services were solemn.
Affairs were decorated profusely with fow-
ers in honor of the dav.
At st. Mary's Cathedral solemn high
mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Har-
rigan, who was assisted in his Office by
Father Ramm as deacon and Father
Dempsey as sub-deacon. Father Mulligan
was master of ceremonies. Under the
direction of Professor Harrison, organist
of the cathedral, Haydn's Third Mass was
sung.
Much thought had been given the
decoration of the chancel and affairs The
sanctuary was a bower of wonderful
beauty and effective contrasts. Palms and
ferns and red flowers made a gorgeous
color effect that was heightened by the
gilt candelabra, clusters of blazing candles
and the white marble affairs.
Immediately after mass the archbishop
administered the sacrament of confirma-
ton to 300 boys and girls.
He delivered a sermon on the indwell-
ing of the holy spirit, telling his attentive
audience that men were the temples of the
Holy Ghost. The scene of the sensible
form of mighty winds when tongues of
fire descended upon the apostles was de-
scribed.
This event marked the birthday of the
church. The whole church was assembled
there in the 120 in the upper temple His
Grace said that the church had not only
body but spirit also. This spirit was in
each mem Der. "If any man will keep nv
word we will come unto him and take up
our abode in him." This was not only for
one place or one person, but for the whole
church. The upper chamber was the
great cathedral of Christianity.
In conclusion his Grace declared that
men must not only DE born again in water
and the Holy Ghost, but must receive
him directly in the holy sacrament of con-
| firmation. He asked all to pray to the
| Holy Ghost against tenn ptations.
The confirmation service was a really
beautiful spectacle. There were nearly
200 girls all dressed in white, pictures of
| youthful innocence and purity.
| They wore white wells and delicate
wreaths, while their hair was tied with
white satin ribbons. AS they passed down
the aisles and knelt before the grand hir h
altar, with its play of color and its bril-
liancy, where the Archbishop, attended by
| priests and surrounded by acolytes in pur-
| pie, stood waiting to anoint them, an i'm
| pressive sight was witnessed.

Quoted by Rev. ]. A. Cruzan, chaplain of
the G. A. R., Department of California and
Nevada. A number of choice selections
were rendered by the choir of Plymouth
Church, and Seldom Sturgis, chaplain of
George II. Thomas Post, made the open
ing prayer.
The chaplain's address was from the
text: How Are the Mighty Fallen and
the Weapons of War Perish" He recited
in eulogium the characteristics which
marked the Union soldiers in whose honor
the institution of Memorial day was OBJ
served. His remarks were mainly ad-
dressed to the younger generation which
had arisen since the stirring events of the
Civil War. He represented the Union
soldier as the grandest man that ever wore
a uniform. After extolling the high de-
gree of courage evinced by these men on
the field, in the prison and in the hospital,
he said:
They were also men OF higher and nobler
character even than that. They were self
sacrificing. They freely gave themselves for
their country. Because they were such grand
men who did such grand work, we old soldiers
who marched with them and fought with
them ask you, younger generation, to honor
them. Comrades of the George II. Thomas
Corps, 1t is our duty to impress upon this
rising generation how much they owe to these
men. Memorial day should be recognized not
as holiday but as a holy day. Wherever
there soldiers graves the citizens should
march out to them, and by strewing flowers
upon them should say, "How the mighty
fallen" In '65 the Nation counted these men
as worthy of all honor. and they are just as
worthy of honor to-day in go as they were

REV. FATHER RAMM.
He Tells st. Mary's Cathedraps Con.
gregation Why He Is
Catholic.

There was very large congregation in
st. Mary's Cathedral last night to listen to
the Rev. Father Ramm preach upon the
text "Why am a Catholic"
In this the reverend father gave an in
teresting account of his bent for the clergy
and of his researches for the divine truth.
He dwelt at length upon the teachings of
the Episcopal church and reviewed the
teachings of the Church of England. He
then told of the Catholic church and
stated that it had always been the true ex-
FOUNDER of the word of God and that it
was the church that had never contradicted
itself, its belief being to-day what it was in
the first century of it's existence; and it
was because he found it to be the true
church that he was a Catholic.
