WISDOM OF THE HEN.
Something More Than Mere sitting

A fresh egg has the yolk perfectly
balanced in the middle of the white.
Unless il remains thus balanced the
chances are decidedly against it's hatch
ing. Brooding hens understand that.
When filling the nest a hen turns over
all the eggs in it before she quits it
atter laying new one.
Brooding is throughout full Ct
| quaint surprises. Eggs will hatch if
kept at blood heat-9s degrees. But
they hatch more certainly and turn out
stronger chicks if the temperature is
degree or so higher just how il is
done nobody knows. but mother hens

pitch. Further, they strip the whole

Diseases in Lend Pencils.

The doctors are constantly adding to the terrors of life by discovering sources of disease in common things and general practices. Lead pencils are the latest subject for condemna- tion, or rather the method of using lead pencils in schools. There have been outbreaks of skin and other ail- ments in number of schools lately which have puzzled the doctors, and the school medical inspectors, after considerable inquiry, now assert that the school pencils are to blame. The practice, it appears, is that pencils are provided for the whole school, and are collected at the end of each day and redistributed next morning. In this way single pencil makes a tour of the class, and is sucked in turn by most of the children. The moral of the discovery is "One child, one pencilo
