Strange Occupations
OF Energetic
American WOmea.

1t is ar astonishing fact that one
third of all the professional wage
earners of the United States are women,
What an argument this is for the advo-
Gates of women's right! What a tribute
to the genius and industry of American
women! They are not all seamstresses,
cooks or servants by a great deal, either.
They are found in almost every profession
that man follows, and some mighty queer
ones,
BY far, the greater number are. of
course, employed in household occupations,
filled by surprising numbers For instance,
among the teachers. There are in our edu-
cational institutions over a quarter of a
million women employed to teach the
young idea how to shoot. They are not
confined either 10 the schools of the lower
grade, but are ound with surprising fire.
quency in the high Schools and even in the
universities.
They teach, too, the arts to a large ex-
tent. Thirty-four thousand instruct in
music and ten thousand in painting, while
fully five thousand follow each profession
as a means of livelihood.
But of the queer trades occupied byttwo-
men perhaps the most unusual is til 4 of
elevator boys Right in his city ia the
Young Women's Christian Association the
elevators are operated by women. Truly
they lave their ups and downs.
In New York there are a dozen women
employed as paper hangers, and they go
about freely plying their trade as though
it were the most natural thing in the
world.

Tho Incubator a Nec,.sitv.

There is no doubt that the incubator
Is essential to success in the poultry
b Isiness, and the man who attempts
TO get along without it is conteudinG
against odds that will prove too great
for him. There is, of course, good
deal of sense and nonsense written
about the incubator, and some be-
lieve at the outset that they will make
an assured income for the owner with
out much study on his part. The
fact is, one must study and expert.
ment with the incubator as well as
with other farm matters. The chief
| object of the incubator is TO hatch n
great quantity of eggs at once, and al
any season, and not to do better work
than the hen by increasing the per.
centage Of successful eggs The in.
cubator will often lose more eggs than
a good hen, but the same quantity OF
eggs could never be Matched in the
same time by the hens. 1t also
economies space and labor, for it is
manifestly much easier to watch one
incubator with it's hundreds of eggs in
1t than two or three dozen hens.
The man who expects to hatch 100
chicks out of 100 eggs by using an in
cubator is doomed to be disappointed.
Very often he will get only from fifty
to seventy five out of 100 eggs, and at
that he can consider himself fortunate.
1t takes time TO operate the best of
incubators properly. Following direc.
tons will do for the beginner, but he
will soon discover that he must find
out from experience what is best to
do. 1t is, therefore, better to begin
slowly with the machine. Experiment
with a dozen or two eggs at first, and
then gradually work up to higher
number as success attends the first
efforts
One thing in using the incubator is
that eggs hatch out at different times,
and it is wise to IN axe a separation OF
the thick shelled brown eggs from the
thin-shelled white eggs. Put these
in n different incubator so that more
uniformity of Matching will be oh.
tanned. The two do not hatch out
well together ut all, any more than
duck and chicken eggs would do well
under the same hen. The thin-shelIed
white eggs must be- kept more uni
formly warm than the brown thick.
shelled eggs. The latter need more
cooling and more air than the white
ones, and, as cooling always make
strong chickens, good results can he
obtained by Matching out the brown
eggs separately. American Cultiva-

''I wish / could read you Gladys
letters from London" writes Edith
Lawrence in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "She sends me descriptions of
two new parasols which l must tell
you about. The first one she saw
when driving in Hyde Park 1t was
Of fawn-colored silk. trimmed with
bands of ecru lace insertion and large
bows of satin ribbon of fawn color
The stick, which was very long, was
made of pale green enameled wood
The most original part of the whole
thing was tiny little pocketbook
which topped the handle of 1t con-
sisted of round ball of wood with a
cats eye in the centre; when you
pressed the cats the pocketbook flew
open. 1t was lined with pale green
leather. The other parasol was made
of different shades of red, which she
says is the most fashionable color in
London just now fo- street wear. The
cover was of red boiling cloth and
was hand-painted in punches of red
peoples of a deeper shade All
around the edge were eyelet holes,
which are called 10y the women in
London 'peep-holes. 1t seems they
like to hold their parasols down and
see who is passing, through the eyelet
holes. "

multiply fast. the system is enfeebled
by damp, unwholesome surroundings,

One of the lest germicides known

and dampness. Dry, sunshiny quar-

the sunshine TO bask in or they will

the sunlight TO stream in Mt the south

near the south side il will not reach

Remarkable Record For Teaching.

There are three sisters in Boston
whose combined terms Of teaching in
the public schools of that city amount
to 100 years. The eldest sister, Miss
Catherine NJ. Smonds, claims the
longest term OF service, n period OF
fifty-one years. Many of the best
known people in Boston have been her
pupils. Five years ago, when Miss
Simonds completed her fftieth year
of service to the city. an effort was
made to induce the Legislature to grant
her pension, and her many friends,
led by Rev. DIR. T. T.. Hale, were
active in presenting her claim. 1t
was objected that it would be used a.
an opening wedge for others whose
services were not of so long duration
to obtain pensions. And so the effort
was defeated.

calves are due to either feeding too
much or feeding food that is cold.
Never allow the calf to gorge itself
either with food or water, though of
course it is not advisable TO leave the
animal hungry. Just cut off the food
and water when you believe that the
animal has had about enough to enjoy
and no more. 1t is the manner of
feeding and time of feeding that causes

is given them.

The Duchess Lcavr-TnI,ing.

\ few days before leaving Spain
the Duchess of ARGOS kissed the hands
of the Queen and took the pillow, -
as they call it, with twenty-five other
Grandees. This is n ceremony of con
siderable importance ut the Spanish
court and it means that by the ccude-
scension OF her royal mistress the
Duchess of ARGOS was permitted to he
seated in the presence of her sover-
eign.
The Duchess d'Arcos was the first
of the distinguished women to be re-
ceived and was presented by the
Duchess of Osuna, kinswoman of
her husband. The ceremony, as de
scribed in letter recently received,
took place in large hall of the palace
in Madrid. III e Queen, attended by
her ladies' in waiting, all of them pre-
vious!y having taken the pillow, and
many court Officials, awaited the com
ing of the candidates for the new
honor. Two rows of stools extended
the length of the apartment, one row
for the ladies already entitled to their
use, and one for the incoming class.
After taking her seat the Queen signi-
fled her desire that the ladies' follow
her example. Whereupon the process
sion began. The American duchess
and her "madrina" or chaperon were
the first to be received. Immediately
upon entering the apartment hand in
hand they made profound courtesy
to the Queen, which the latter re-
turned. Advancing few steps far

Majesty aud then to the right and left
