The Bachelor Born.

There was never yet a bachelor Of
forty whose heart has not been at
some woman's feet TO take or leave
as she would" says a well.known
writer, and this, generally speaking
is absolutely true. However, there is
one type of man, very rare one for
tunately, who from a mixture of cold
love of self and miserliness rigidly
eschews matrimony.
OF such a one the story is told that
being on one occasion somewhat in
pressed by the bright eyes and red
lips of a certain dantseI, he gave some
thought 10 the married state and pom
dered over the ACCESSIBILITY Of entering
IL. Racked with doubt, he ordered a
meat pie to be prepared. and on US
appearance divided it in half There
was ample! Then the reflection
crossed his mind that in course Of
time a subdivision might be neces.
sary. The portions were divided by
a tremulous hand into two. He look
ed, hesitated and scraped them al
on to his own plate. The damsel had

OLD TIME WHALING.
The Profit Was Not Nearly SO Great
as Is Supposed.

The Profit Was Not Nearly SO Great
as Is Supposed.
"The Emily's cruise produced not
far from $4,000 in oil, not counting
what she sold on the coast Of South
America. The green hands who sail
ed on two-hundredth lay should have
received from this oil $215 each for
the cruise that was forty-two months
long, or $5.37h a month. From this,
Of course, they had to pay for the
clothes they bought from the captain,
or what is called the slop bill. Mr..
Hale's slop bill amounted to SIS
year, and, judging from the list, II is
likely that the forecastle men did not
buy much less.
Capt. Luce, with his lay of per
cent, should have had due ordinarily
$2,5S0 for the three years and six
months, or, say, $64 a month. Mr..
Hale does not tell what his lay was,
but IL he average SIC a month for the
voyage he was doing as well as third
mates usually did. In considering
these figures we remember, of course,
that good mechanics used to work for
$1.50 day on shore previous to the
Civil war, that the crew received their
board in addition to their wages. and
that even now in 1900 frst-class farm
hands work for $50 a month and board,
and even less.
'The owners share of the oil was
two-thirds, or, say, $4,000, but he paid
all expenses of the outfit. 1t is fair
surmise to say that he cleared $4,000
a year for the use of the ship. a profit
by no means excessive. even though
the vessel herself were probably worth
no more htan half years income. for
the whale-owner had to take the risk
of a ship making or losing voyage

How Their Care Is Different From Any
Other Kind Of Chicken.

Setting hens should be as we'll fed
as those that are laying, but the feed
ing should be different. Grain should
be left where they can get it whenever
they desire to come off the nest. This
Is done not only as a matter Of con-
venience, but also TO insure the hens
getting all they want to eat, and also
to get them in the habit of coming
off regularly, which they Will be moro
apt to do IL they know the food is al.
ways obtainable. II is better TO feed
all whole grain in good variety, such
as corn, oats and wheat. The reason
is that all the food setting hen needs
is for her bodily maintenance. She
is non-producer, and will therefore
be able to satisfy her needs without
soft food, vegetables or meat, though
little of these will be benefit. The
danger lies in feeding so much vege-
table food as to loosen the bowels or
so much meat as to stimulate a desire
to discontinue setting and go to lay.

depository.
Holders OF the debenture bonds and
shares Of the stock OF voting trust certi-

audit company is now inadequate for the
successful operation of the companys

WEST CASE
again IN
COURT
Appellate Division Hears Argu-
Inonts on Petition Of Thomas
f. West for a New Trial.

The case OF Thomas +. West. appellant,
against Margaret West. Administrative
of the estate of George j. West was
heard in the appellate division OF the su-
preme court today before Chief Justice
stiness and Judges Tillinghast and Doug
las on the appellants petition for a new
trial.
While an injunction entered July s,
1897. was in force. enjoining Thomas r.
West and Margaret West from alienat-
ing, transferring or In any way encum-
berng the partnership assets and effects
described In the bill in equity filed In
the interests OF the estate OF Ambrose
T.. West, who was a co-partner in the
law business with George j. West duritg
their lives, the probate court ordered
Thomas #. West to file his account as
administrator within certain stated
time. This he did not do. and the rnuni-
cipal court found him indebted to the es-
tate in the sum OF Ss47.72.
On his appeal from this decision he had
trial by jury and II confirmed the de-
cision OF the municipal court. His pres
ent appeal alleges error on the part Of the
presiding Justice In ruling that the In
junction on account Of the co-par rtnership
of George and Ambrose West was not a
valid excuse for the appellant to neglect
to file his account within 30 days, and be-
cause OF certain accounts which the jury
did not allow.
The appellant claims that the form of
the citation served on him was not the
one required by the statute and that for
feiture does not attach.
The appellee claims that the disallow-
ance OF compensation by the probate
court because of neglect of account is not
appealable and that the claim of the APP
pellant regarding the injunction was a
mere pretense.
