HatehIng Punctured Eggs.

It has become a time honored GUS
tom with fanciers to puncture eggs
they had to sell on the open market,
doing the work with a needle or pin.
The puncture is made in the end that
contains the air bubble, and the eggs
were rendered unhatchable. or course
IL a man that is selling eggs at SO per
dozen has to dispose of surplus at
10 cents per dozen it is not for his
interest to have them IN hatchable
condition, else the groceryman would
sell them at an advanced price and
make the profit that belongs to the
fancier. But now some smart fellow
has found a way of outwitting the
fancier. He simply wakes the end
that has the hole and stops up the
puncture. He places his eggs under a
hen or in an incubator, and 10, fair
brood of blooded chicks. Evidently
the fancier will have to turn a new
trick or eat his eggs himself.

Rearing Chicks.

1t requires a liberal education to rear
chicks with small loss, at least lib
eral education in the direction or
knowing all about poultry. Who has
not experienced the disappointment
that a 50-per cent loss Of the chicks
brings? A thousand dangers threaten
the little ones. We think we are do
ing the right thing when we turn the
chicks out onto a nice piece of bare
ground where they can scratch. III
they cannot get enough angle worms
we dig some for them. Who could I'M
agine that we were thus working for
their destruction? Along comes the
report of the department OF agricul>
ture and shows us that gapes in
chicks are caused by the angle worms
that we have been feeding or that
they have scratched up from the
ground. We thus reverse our method
for one of greater safety. This is but
one illustration of the price we pay
for not knowing. The subject Is
great one. Doubtless most of the
chicks that die are born healthy and
would live did we but give them
proper care. But to give proper care
requires a wide and long and deep
study of the questions involved.

the upper part of a cattle shed into "A
Matching room, as the carnations aris-
ing from the animals beneath would
certainly not be favorable to success.
l have found the loft above a stable
excellent for this purpose when prop
erly ventilated, the heat rising from
the horses at night maintaining an
equable temperature In winter. Steps
must always be taken to keep the air
in the Matching room sweet by proper
system of ventilation, and during fine
weather, especially in the middle OF
the day, 1t is an excellent plan to leave
doors and windows open for an hour
or two. The chief difficulty is always
that by a condensation OF the air 1t
becomes damp, and also that the en-
bryos are affected by the impure air
which surrounds them. When this fact
is fully realized, it is not at all diff
ficult for any poultry keeper to avoid
the difficulty mentioned. But ventila-
ton should be overhead. as the fowls
must not be subjected to draft.

IN promising to execute Barentz's COM
mission, which was to turn his money
into articles most useful to settler,
and have them sent out by the first
feet which should sail from the Zuy-
der Zee. But this commission 1t was
not Philips good fortune to execute.
The brig, named the Wilhelmina, sailed
AMI soon arrived at st. Helena. After
watering, she proceeded on her voy-
age. They had made the Western
Isles, and Philip was consoling him
self with the anticipation of soon join
ing his Anime, when to the northward
of the islands they met with a furious
gale, before which they were obliged
to scud for many days, with the yes
sells head to the southeast; and as the
wind abated and they were able to
haul to it, they fell in with Dutch
fleet Of five vessels, commanded by an
admiral, which had left Amsterdam
more than two months, and had been
buffeted about by contrary gales for
the major part of that period. Cold,
fatigue and bad provisions had
brought on the scurvy, and the ships
were so weakly manned that they
could hardly navigate them. When
the captain of the Wilhelmina reported
to the admiral that he had part of the
crew of the Vrow Katerina on board,
he was ordered to send them immedl-
ately to assist in navigating his Grip
pied fleet. Remonstrance was useless.
Philip had but time to write to Anime,
acuuainting her with his misfortuneS
and disappointment; and, coniidlng
the letter to his wife, as well as his
narrative OF the loss or the Nrow
Katerina for the directors to the
charge of the captain of the Wilhelm
ina. he fastened to pack up his effects,
and repaired on board of the admirals
ship with Krantz and the crew. To
then were added six of the men be-
longing to the Wilhelmina, whom the
admiral insisted on retaining; and the
brig, having received the admirars
dispatches, was then permitted to con-
tinue her voyage.
The admiral sent for Philip into his
cabin. and having heard his narrative
Of the loss of the Vrow Katerina, he
ordered him to go on board the COM
modore's ship as captain, giving the
rank OF con-. Podore to the captain at
present on board OF her; Krantz was
retained on boa.'A his own vessel as
second captain, for by Philips nara
tive the admiral perceived at once that
they were both good officers and brave
men.

CHAPTER XVII

Until noon they continued their ex-
ertions not without success they were
not three miles from the land, but as
the sun passed the meridian change
took place; the breeze blew strong, the
swell of the sea rose rapidly, and the
raft waS often so deeply immersed in
the waves as to alarm them for the
safety of those upon her. Their way
was proportionately retarded, and by
o'clock they had not gained half
mile from where they had been at
noon. The men, not having had re-
freshment of any kind during the Ia
Dor and excitement of so many hours,
began to flag in their exertions. The
wish for water was expressed by all
from the child who appealed to its
mother to the seaman who strained at
the oar. Philip did all he could to
encourage the men, but finding them
selves so near to the land and so
overcome with fatigue, and that the
raft in tow would not allow them to
approached their haven, they muir
mured and talked of the necessity of
casting loose the raft and looking out
for themselves. A feeling of self pre-
vailed, and they were mutinous; but
Philip expostulated with them. and.
out of respect for him, they continued
their exertions for another hour. when
a circumstance occurred which decided
the question, upon which they had re-
commenced a debate.

mingled with screams, attracted the
attention of those in the boat. and
Philip, looking back, perceived that the
lashings of the raft had yielded to the
force of the waves, and that 1t had
separated amidships. The scene was
agonizing; husbands were separated
from their wives and chlldren-each
floating away from each other-for the
part of the raft which was still towed
by the boats had already left the other
far astern. The women rose up and
screamed; some, more frantic, dashed
into the water between them, and at
tempted to gain the floating wreck
upon which their husbands stood, and
sank before they could be assisted. But
the horror increased-one flashing
having given way, all the rest soon
followed; and, before the boats could
turn and give assistance. the sea was
strewn with the spars which composed
the raft, with men, women and chill
dren clinging to them. Loud were the

The untchInr Place.

A most important point in the
selection of Matching house or room
is that it shall be dry. by which l do
not mean that there shall be any arti-
fetal dryness, but that the walls and
floor shall not be damp and cold, as
this would be most injurious to the
birds, making them uncomfortable, and
frequently explains why hens desert
their nests, writes Stephen Beale In
Country Gentleman. A damp house can
never be warm. While IL is always
wise to select a rather dark place. It
is all the better If facing the south.
because there the sun has more power
to keep 1t both warm and dry. One
with a north aspect is not nearly so
good, and should not be selected. The
air should be sweet and pure and suf-
icient In quantity, for the oxygen
would be speedily absorbed unless
properly ventilated. If a number of
sitters were kept in one building at the
same time. Only within the last few
years has the Importance of the at
mosphere in Matching been fully real
ized but 1t is a question which cannot
be ignored. Some time ago a gentle
man who has made very careful OH
servations with regard to artificial in
cubation stated that he believed the
great majority of added eggs and
deaths in shell were directly caused by
impure air, or an insufficient supply.
and the same Is equally true with re-
gard to sitting hens. although, OF
course, from the fact that there is no
,smp burning in the room, the danger
OF contamination is less than where
artificial methods are employed. For
this reason Il is not desirable to make

MILLIONS STAIRCASE.
Brought to Philadelphia, but 1t Has
since Been Lost.

Where is the poet Millions stair
case?" asks the Philadelphia Record.
This staircase was brought from Lon
don by Richard Rush and built into
his country home, named Sydenham,
which was located at what is now Co
lumbia avenue and Sixteenth street. A
small street of the same name, Syden-
ham, marks the place. Mr.. Rush was
United States minister to England
when Millions house was torn down to
make room for modern improvements.
Being an admirer of the author of
Paradise Lost Mr.. Rush bought the
old-time staircase and had 1t erected
in his home and inscribed with a sill
yer plate setting forth the dates and
facts. Upon the death of Mr.. Rush his
estate was divided among his children
and the real estate soon came into the
market for building lots. Sydenham
house was torn down and the antique
Milton staircase doubtless fell to some
one of the heirs. 1t would be inter-
esting to learn where this relic found
its final shrine. Sydenham was a
quaint old place, just opposite the
country seat of Judge Stroud. 1t has

CHAPTER XVI.-(Continued)


Philip made no reply; he felt a re-
spect even for Capt. Barentz' mis-
placed regard for the vessel. They
made but little way, for the swell was
rather against them, and the raft was
deep In the water The day dawned,
and the appearance of the weather was
not favorable; it promised a return OF
the gale. Already a breeze ruffied the
surface OF the water, and the swell
appeared to increase rather than go
down. The sky was overcast, and the
horizon thick. Philip looked out for
the land, but could not perceive it, for
there was q haze on the horizon, so
that he could not see more than five
miles He felt that to gain the shore
before the coming night was necessary
for the preservation of so many indi-
viduals, of whom more than sixty were
women and children, who, without any
nourishment, were sitting on a frail
raft, immersed in the water. No land
in sight-a gale coming on, and in all
probability a heavy sea and dark
night. The chance was indeed desper-
ate, and Philip was miserable-most
miserable-when he reflected that so
many innocent beings might, before
the next morning, be consigned to a
watery tomb-and why?-yes, there
was the feeling-that although Philip
could reason against, he never could
conquer; for his own life he cared
nothing; even the idea OF his beloved
Anime was nothing in the balance Of
these moments. The only point which
sustained him was the knowledge that
he had his duty to perform, and, in
the full exercise of his duty, he re-
covered himself
Land ahead?" was now cried out
by Krantz, who was in the headmost
boat, and the news was received with
shout of joy from the raft and the
boats. The anticipation and the hope
the news gave was like mama In the
wilderness; and the poor women on
the raft, drenched sometimes above
the waist by the swell OF the sea,
clasped the children in their arms still
closer and cried, my darling, you
shall be saved"
Philip stood upon the stern-sheets
to survey the land. and he had the
satisfaction of finding that it was not
Ave miles distant, and a ray of hope
warmed his heart. The breeze now
had gradually increased and rippled
the water. The quarter from which
the wind came was neither favorable
nor adverse, being on the beam. Had
they had sails for the boat, it would
have been otherwise; but they had
been slowed away and could not be
procured. The sight of land naturally
rejoiced them all. and the seamen in
the boat cheered and double-banked
the oars to increase their way, but the
towing of a large raft sunk under
water was no easy task, and they did
not. with all their exertions, advance
more than half a mile an hour.

Tho jug Watering Trough.

putting them out in different places,
so the fowls will always have plenty

turn it bottom side up on plate. Put
under the mouth of the jar some little
pieces of iron like small nails to raise
it up, just high enough to let the water
out, but be careful that you do not
raise it too high or the water will all
run out. II you do not put something
under 1t the air will shut off the
water. The jug will tip over very
easily so you will have 1t to drive some
