MATCHED BY
THE sun

Fred H. Hicks. farmer, who
raises high grade poultry at his
place on the banks Of the Milestone
river, near Weston, N. j.. came to
the village store recently late in the
afternoon and told how the hot sun
had acted as an incubator. driving
one of the hens off her nest and then
Matching nine little chicks out OF a
dozen Of eggs he had placed in the
nest some days before.
When Hicks told this story he
was laughed at. but he stuck to it
and said that he could bring two Of
his farm hands to prove the truth
of his words. Some days ago ne
set one of his blooded black Minor
kas on twelve fine, high-prIced eggs
that he had gone to much trouble
to secure. When the mercury be-
gan to climb ia the tube he noticed
that his pet hen was uneasy on the
nest and he had his men put tree
branches over the chicken house
and water it we'll to cool of the
setting mother.
At ; o'clock the temperature in
the hen house was 81. 1t was then
with loud sduawk and the flap
ping OF wings that the mother hen
left her uest and flying ont Of the
window OF the hen house, made for
the COO. woods She was followed,
but getting in the top OF tall tree,
could not be recap,ured, and Hicks
came sadly back to the house la.
nenting the loss OF his expensive
setting of eggs.
At $40 he was sittin. on his side
stoop when one OF his men came
crying to him that the eggs were
Matching out. The temperature
was then lust 100 i'll the hen house,
where Hicks saw the shells OF nine
OF the twelve eggs break and nine
little chickens emerge with faint
squeaks.
The mother hen has since return
ed and is giving her unmatched
ottspriugs every attention. The
ouly way that Farmer Hicks ex-
plains If is by saying that the sun
was hotter than the hen S body aud
therefore did better service.

GOOD FOR THE LITTLE ONES
A "trip ON the Republic u Fine Medi'
cine for Children,

A rip on the Republic u Fine Medi'
cine for Children.
Pure, freeh air, and plenty of il, 10 the
best Of all medicine for the little onet
during the sultry, oppressive summer
days. It's tonic they take without
knowing it. and it does them more good
than anything that could DO prescribed
by the best physician in the land. The
children should have this efiicaciouf
fresh air treatment at least one day every
week during the heated term.
They can get it effectively and in the
fullest measure aboard the steamer Re.
public in her swift run Of over two hun
bred miles to Cape May and return.
They can have . whole day Of fresh air
during this heslthfuI trip on river, bay
and ocean. They will feel strong, re.
freshed and happy after it, and will be
much better able to Withstand the de-
bilitating heat.
The same argument is good as applied
to the grow up members OF the family.
But aside, from tie benefits Of the fresh
air, the latter will find many opportuni-
ties for enjoyment aboard the Republic.
Dancing il one Of them, and splendid
concerts by a fine orchestra is an
other.
First class meals and all kinds OF re.
freshments can also be had aboard the
steamer Republic at very moderate
prices. The Republic leaves Pier 3, foot
of Chestnut street, every morning at
7.30, the charge for the round trip being
one dollar, with children at half fare.
