Eggs That Don't Hatch.

! have been experimenting lately on
the eggs from certain hens to find out if
there is any great difference in the way
they hatch, their vitality. ETC., and
have been greatly interested in the dis
ooveries. The eggs from the abnormally
fat hens seldom hatch. The chicken
usually dies on or about the twelfth day
of incubation. When an egg matches a
day or two III advance of time, one usu-
ally concludes that it was quite fresh
when put il, but L now ind that it is
the eggs from the active and most
healthy hens that break sile shell first.
Five eggs from u little game hen,
which were all over . days old, were
the first to hatch. Invariably the egg
from the sleepy, lazy hen matches late.
Out of % hens whose eggs L expert
mented with found two quite sterile.
They both lay fine, large eggs Of good
shape and shell, but, though 1 must
have tried quite dozen of their eggs,
not one has ever had a sign of chick
en-. I have even mated them with differ
ent roosters, but without avail, and,
strange to say, they are the worst tenn
pered hens in the yard, always quarrel
ling and beating the others. -Fanciers'

r.inco1n,s Care In the Use CT words.

EincoIn's Care In the Use CT Words.
=. In the opinion CT the Judges and prao-
titioners with whom Lincoln was asso-
ciated during his quarter of a century
at the bar his most prominent charac-
teristic was his rare faculty for detect
ing and disclosing the controlling point
in legal battle. But not less than this
was his clear, full, orderly and accurate
statement of a case, always so fair and
logical that it was often said that after
lincoln had summed up the important
facts in a controversy there was but lit
tie occasion for argument on either side.
He habitually employed at the bar the
same care and skill in the use of words
and the expression of ideas which he so
often afterward exhibited when called
to higher field of labor, instances OF
which are seen in all his state papers
and in the changes for the better which
he made in the writings of his scholarly
secretary of state, particularly in the
correspondence relative TO the Trent af-
fair, which probably avoided a war
with England. a fine example of the
grandeur of his diction is to be found
in his Gettysburg address, which has
permanent place in the literature of the
world.
He thought vigorously and thorough
", but did not speak quickly. In reali-
ty his hesitation was only the result of
his great care always to know his
ground His habit was before speaking
or acting to deliberately look through,
around and beyond every fact, state
ment or proposition involved and SUBJ
ject it to his wonderful powers of per-
ception and analysis. This required
time, hut it made him successful IN
every important undertaking. While he
thought much, he could not truthfully
be called great reader. He knew thor
oughly the works of Coke, Blackstone,
Stephen, Chitty, Starkey and later
Greenleaf's Evidence and Story's
Equity" He gave but little time to
searching for precedents or studying
what is called case law.-James L.
King in North American Review.

schopenhauer on Women.

Schopenhauer's mother, Joanna, was
a singular woman, with whom he was
perpetually at war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was a sentimentalist, he
detested sentiment. She was devoted to
society, to gossip, to the convenances of
life. He lived for ideas, and with an al
most savage moroseness poured scorn on
the round of sat homes and aesthetic
tea parties. Both We're selfish and quar-
relsome. We may judge, therefore, that
Schopenhauer took his notions of wom-
en- partly from his mother. 1t goes with
out saying that these notions were vio-
lent in the extreme, yet not without
some aspects of truth.
The new woman would rave at this
satire on her pretensions, and yet it
would do her good to read what Scho-
penhauer has to say with as much calm
ness as she can command. Woman is
here depicted as emphatically "a lesser
man"-indeed so far below man as to
be fit only for the role of the old fash

FIRE HORSES.
The Quickest Ones In the World Are Said
to BE In kansas City.

F. S. Dellenbaugh writes of 1.-The
Quick Horse in st. Nicholas, his
article telling of the training of horses
for the fire department. Mr.. Dellen-
baugh says:
The quickest horses in the world were
at one time in Kansas City at the head
quarters of its fire department, directly
under the Office of the chief, Mr.. George
C Hale To Mr.. Hale's genius more
than to any other factor the quick horse
owed his first development, for Mr..
Hale is the inventor of the earliest
swinging harness which made the
quick horse possible. When Mr.. Henry
NJ Stanley and his wife We're in this
country, they witnessed an exhibition
drill of the Kansas City fire department..
The drill so impressed the visitors that
an account of it was published in a Lon
don Journal, and this English article
brought an invitation TO Mr.. Hale to
visit England as the representative of
the American fire service at the interna-
tional fire tournament. Mr.. Hale and
a picked corps went to England, TAX
ing with them the remarkably quick
horses Joe and Dan, and they became
world famous. AS the quickest harness

in less than 8 seconds, there could be no

bays were harnessed to the hook and

Joe and Dan could jump into their har-
nesses. twas pretty sight to see these
four well kept horses spring to their
places at the stroke of the gong and in
two or three seconds stand ready to run

an accident, but Dan, with a new mate,

BE Natural.

If woman cannot secure a young
man for life mate by being herself,
living her natural life, she would be
far better of to remain single to the
end of her days. The cloak Of deception
universally worn by Young women as
well as young men during courtship
cannot be continued through married
life when together. The strain would
be too great and the mask must and is
thrown off and trouble begins. Each one
finds that the other is not what he or she
seemed to be. What she or he in reality
was would be just what some other
young man or woman would want, for
there is Jack for every Jill. When de-
ception, lying or false swearing is re-
sorted to for material gain, it brings in
its train its own punishment every
time. -Philadelphia Times.

A Barnato Story.

1t is said that when Barney Barnato
gave picnic at the opening of the Jo-
hannesburg waterworks he related an
incident that had happened TO him in
London some time before. y seedy look
ing man, describing himself as jour
nalist, called ON him one day and offered
to cut out from papers, ETC., all the
complimentary things said about Mr..
Barnato. The genial man of millions
saw that the man was "down on his
luck" and engaged him on the spot at a
salary of e15 per month. This was
quite characteristic of Barney's sudden
and irresponsible freaks. At the end of
six months the man, who had been paid
monthly, again called on Mr. Barnato
and presented Il huge bundle of clip
pings from newspapers, asking whether
he should continue the work. Mo-
replied Barney, "but will engage You
for six months at the same salary to cut
cut all the nasty things you can find
said about me. Another six months
elapsed, and once more the indefatigable
paper clipper turned up and reported
his work to be finished. "Well," asked
Barney, where are the results of your
work." Here Barney assumed his gray
est aspect as he repeated the mans re-
ply: II have not been able to bring
them i'll. There are two carloads out

How to Stop sneezing and Coughing.

Most Of Us have no doubt experienced
the discomforts of being seized with a
fit of coughing or sneezing AT the most
inconvenient times and places, and it is
not usually supposed that any exercise
of the will power can be made efficient
in checking either cough or a sneeze.
DR.. Brown Sequard, however, in one of
his lectures said that coughing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerves of the
lips in the neighborhood of the nose.
SneeZing may be stopped by the same
means. Pressing in the neighborhood of
the ear may stop coughing. Pressing
very hard ON the top of the mouth is
also means of stopping coughing.
