WHAT WOMEN HAVE TO DO.
How Would Men Like to Have the

How Would Men Like to Have the
Job?
Not many persons can do dozen
different things in one day ana 40
them all equally well, or, indeed, 40
any of them well, says the Philadel-
phia Times. And yet the average
housekeeper has a doZen-oh, more,
score or hundred duties of radically
different natures, and if she fails III
one she falls short Of the requirements
of society and her family. Mrs. De Jar
nette we'll expressed this idea before
the San Jose institute when she SAID:
"If a man goes into business, docs
he assume the duties of head clerk,
bookkeeper cash boy, collector and
ianitor? And if he could Go so-which
he cannot and would not even con-
sider-would he look his best, act most
agreeable, keep a perpetual smile and
have his place of business spotless!
Let us look at woman. She enters
-marriage-does she assume
duties of head housekeeper, COOK,
seamstress, laundress, nurse, tutor and
outside man? And when she does
for she usually does-can she keep
her house clean, her temper serene,
buttons sewed on, remove all thoughts
of care from her husbands heart, keep
her prettiest clothes on and scented
with violet and lavender, her sweetest
smile on and her mouth puckered up
for a kiss?--for they only come when
least expected, for when we yearn -or
=. we usually keep on yearning.
No! Of course -" can't; could the
angels themselves? She can't run all
the special departments of complex
marriage with a menagerie Of child
hood annex, and a husband to come
home when twilight falls to claim
every iota of reserve vitality left, /
tell you she will either have to call
in some specialist demi-semi-occaslon-
ally or else have more simple food, do
away with kitchen fads, let the hus-
band help with the little ones and feel
q burden of responsibility.

Points in Feeding Stock.

Much of the improvement made III
animals by domestication is the effect
of the better care and more regular
rations which domestic stock secures.
1t is far less able to care for itself, be-
cause of being thus for generations
provided with more and better food
than it could secure without mans
aid. This regular supply of nutritious
food increases the animals digestive
powers, so that it can make use of all
that is taken into the stomach. Wild
animals are seldom fat. When hogs
are allowed to run wild as they do in
the Southern States, they are long
legged, long bodied and always lean.
Their flesh is mostly made from wild
nuts and roots eaten in the woods,
with some corn gained by depreda-
tions on the fields of farmers III the
neighborhood where the wild hog
abounds. This razor-back pork has g
high reputation for delicacy of flavor,
and its hams are exported in large
amounts and sold after being cured at
higher prices than can be got for the
pork made from localities where corn
and other grains are the staple ration.

An Innocent Critic.

Governor Roosevelt is always GLAD
of laugh. A short time ago he enjoy
ed an opportunity and paid for it. The
incident happened while he was visit
ing Cornell University during a con-
vention. The students, glad of chance
to display their enthusiasm, enter
tanned the governor at one Of the fra
ternity houses. Just as he was about
to leave one of his staff said to him:
Governor, the boys have the founda-
ton of capital library, and | think
they would appreciate copy of your
Rough Riders "All right, boys"
said the governor, heartily. 'Tll be
glad to send you a copy with my COM
pliments. The book would be but a
small return for your hospitality"
Whereupon one of the students broke
in excitedly: That's so, governor, I've
read it,"

put on, with roof doors in the front,
short roof. These are made with
overlapping edges to secure tightness
against the wind and rain. The at
tendant stands outside and through
these roof doors cares for the fowls,
securing the eggs from nests that are
within reach, putting in water and
scattering grain in the litter. The
whole structure is covered with tarred
or resin sized paper, the edges being
securely tackled OF battened with
laths. The roof is covered in the same
way.
Select dry location, and put in
three inches of gravel upon the ground
and keep thick layer of chaff upon
that, and the inmates will scratch
away merrily for grain all winter
long. Make the building any length
desired and part off with boards-or
with netting if only females are to be
kept in the pens-before the roof is
put on. Roosts can be put up just
out Of the fowls way when on the
floor. With care to make the roof
tight, such building, while it costs
but little, will prove very satisfactory.

Moisture in Incubators.

One of the hardest things to learn
in artificial incubation is to have the
proper amount of moisture. 1t is true
that, as a rule, we use too much mois-
ture, but I think we sometimes use
too little. When an egg is formed it
is intended that certain amount OF
the contents of the egg should evapo-
rate, as it must necessarily do. Now
if not enough Of this is evaporated the
chick becomes overgrown and unable
to turn in it's shell. Hence, the use
of too much moisture will cause al
most full grown chicks. Then If not
enough moisture is applied too much
will be evaporated and the chick will
be weakened or the inside membrane
of the egg will become dry and tough.
The quantity of moisture needed de-
ponds upon the season and the loca-
ton. II in damp cellar it is quite
probable that more will be needed,
while in dry season it is possible
that good deal will De needed. All
incubators, believe, are constructed
so that there is a constant change OF
air going on all the time in the egg
chamber. This air, being first cold
and then becoming heated, has q
greater affinity, as you might call it,
for water, and hence the moisture is
taken from the eggs if it is not sup
piled by some other means. Even if
the air before entering had been at
the dew point, it would, upon being
warmed, have tendency to take in
more moisture until the dew point is
reached inside the egg chamber. The
object should be to let the air evapo-
rate a sufficient quantity of moisture
from the egg AMI then introduce more
moisture to keep the air from taking
any more.
The moisture should not be thrown
on the eggs, as it chills them, but it
should be placed where all the air
that enters the chamber will become
saturated before it has time to take
the moisture from the eggs. If you
open tho draw and find it wet, it
shows that too much moisture is be-
ing thrown off by the moisture pans.
IF you have trouble write to your
manufacturer and tell him what is
wrong, and he will be able to tell you
better than any one. or at least he
should he able. The pans should be
wide and shallow, as the more surface
there is, the greater the evaporation.

Fighting a shark.

A lively experience with a twelve
foot striped shark came to Boatmen
Harry Johnson and Bob Barnard, re-
lates the San Francisco Chronicle
They were fishing between Mission
Rock and Goat Island when they saw
tie shark. 1t followed them persist
emily, and once when it came boldly
UP to the boat the boatmen set upon II
with oars, stretcher and gaff. A blow
from the big brute's tail came near
capsizing the Whitehall. Barnard
barely escaped being drawn into the
sea through sinking the gaff into the
booy of the shark, which set off at a
terrible speed, pulling the boat after
him. 1t was so weak from the blows
and from loss Of blood that it was
finally conquered. In the fight the
boatmen broke one oar and stretcher.

,.ause of Decay in Trees.

1t really seems that diseases and
premature decay of almost every kind
of fruit trees are on the increase, de-
spite the efforts and methods en-
ployed to promote their health and
vigor. New diseases are multiplying
or old ones are increasing in virulence
and power. This is mainly to be at
tributed to the vitality of the tree, and
this, we believe, mainly arises from
improper cultivation OF treatment OF
the tree. Much of this trouble with
trees must come from the manner Of
budding and grating, the kind of soil
in which they are planted and the
method of pruning. The Epitomist.

parently too great, use the CONNER
cial ground meat Fish is also ex-
,ellent for ducks if the eggs are to be
used for Matching, and ground fish
will be very acceptable to them. In

largely used, meat or fish will serve
to supply the deficiency Of nitrogen.

KENTUCKIANS IN A
 PECULIAR PLIGHT Republicans Will Nominate Can-
 didate for Governor. AND FOR NO OTHER OFFICE If He Should be Elected Beckham Will be Lieutenant Governor Accord
 ing to the Last Election
 A Legal Question
AND FOR NO OTHER OFFICE

Louisville, Ky, July 16.-The Republican State Convention, which will be called to order at p. m. tomorrow at the Audi torium in this city, expects to nominate John ". Yerkes of Danville for Governor, finish it's business in three hours and ad journ. Tonight the State Central Com mittee is at work on the resolutions. They will deal vigorously with Kentucky politi- cal affairs and "civil liberty" will be the keynote. At the present time in Kentucky the Republicans mean by "civil liberty" opposition to the Goebel election law.
 Candidates for no office except that of Governor will be voted for in Kentucky this year, and the election for Governor is an extraordinary one, the occasion for it arising from the death of Governor Goebel. As J. c. W. Beckham was elected Lieuten- ant-Governor for four years, he will be Lieutenant-Governor after the election in November even if a Republican is elected Governor. This will also hold true if a Democrat other than Beckham is elected Governor.
 He is a strong candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor, and, as ex- plained is certain to be the next Lieutenant Governor, unless he should resign the place. Several lawyers declare there should be no election in Kentucky this year, but the fact that both Democrats and Republicans will hold conventions and nominate candidates shows that this view has not been accepted as a settlement of the question.
 The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is charged with the duty of calling the elec- ton, and if he should think the Constitution does not require election in the present circumstances, mandamus proceedings would in all probability be commenced against him to compel him to issue the call. However, there has been no intimation so far that Chief Justice Hazelrigg shares the opinions of the lawyers who think an elec- tion should not be held until the regular term of four years has expired.

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, July 16.-(SpeciaD last of the Bessemer furnaces made idle by the strike was put in blast today. This was No. g. which was started up with outside men, It is stated that few of the strikers have been taken back, and those only who were not closely in sympathy with the union. Only one furnace is now idle and that is undergoing repairs.
 There were about thirty offenders brought up before the mayor this morning charged with gambling, infringement of the Sunday law, disorderly conduct, etc.
 It seems probable that Bessemer will have a new industry shortly. It is the inten- tion of MT. E. B. Cowles, formerly with the Kuhs Manufacturing Company, to organize a company for the manufacture of furni- ture. It is probable that the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, who will take up the matter at the next meeting, will give MT. Cowles substantial encourage ment.

This is very interesting melo- drama and was presented in a very credit able manner. The company presenting the play, with one or two exceptions is made up sofs actors and actresses who average much above those usually found at the parks in southern cities during the summer months. Miss Nelson as Mabel makes a splendid appearance and plays the part in manner that pleases the audience. Mr. Adams and Miss Pfaff in their specialties were especially pleasing and were called before the curtain several times. There were over 300 admissions to the pavilion last night, which is evidence that the com pany now playing there gives satisfaction. Thursday night the company will change the bill presenting on that occasion '.rhe Fatal Card"
