FOOLS SETTING HENS.
Minnesota Man Thinks He Has n Sure
Method of Breaking the In
cubating Habit.

Timothy Varney, who lives three miles
last of lie Sueur and keeps about 200
hens, has been greatly troubled, as have
most people who keep hens, by the per-
sistent desire manifested by the fowls
TO set in season and out, on eggs, stones
or d%oorknobs or anything else that comes
handy, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press;
but he has got hold of a plan now which
he has quietly tried this season with per-
feet success, and which he warrants Will
cure the worst light brahma cluck that
ever vexcd the heart OF man OF all de-
sire to sit, and all In less than three
hours.
The cure consists Of n cheap watch.
with q loud and clear tick to 1t, inclosed
In a case that is white and shaped Ike
an egg. when n hen manifests a de-
sire to set out Of season he gently places
this bogus egg under her shelterin,
breast and the egg does the rest. II ticks
cheerfully away, and soon the hen be-
gins to show signs o! uneasiness and
stirs the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking, perhaps. that it is already time
Tor It to hatch, and there Is a chicken In
Il wanting to get out. She grows more
and more nervous rs the noise keeps up,
and soon jumps off the nest and runs
around awhile to cool off, bua returna
again to her self-imposed duty. II gets
worse and worse with her, and she Wigs
giles about and cackles. ruffles her fcath-
ers and looks wild. until at last, with 8
frenzied squawk, she abandons the nest
for good and all. That incubatinp feve7
ia broken up completely.
Mr.. Varney finds use for half n dozen
OF these noisy eggs, and claims that they
pay for their cost over and over during
the year by keeping the hens at the busi
ness OF laying and not permitting then
to waste the golden hours in useless in
cubating.

How the Stock Raiser May Increase

only ten pounds during the month.
while the others had gained from 50
20 GO pounds each. thought Of course
the boys who had weighed them had
made a mistake. The second month
that steer gained only II pounds. while
the others had gained so pounds.
examined that steer and found he
stood where the floor had worn down
and that he had stood on his toes, and
his legs had become sore. ! took him
out Of that place and put him In a box
stall. and he gained 80 pounds n month
for the next three months. At another
time ! let the steers out for the winter
and they ran hard. and one steer hit
and cracked his horn. He gained only

walls have settled, or the plaster will
crack and fall off.
One house Of this description which
has given entire satisfaction for several
years, is built 14x20 feet. with thrce-foot
walls. Walls of this thickness seldom
settle crooked, while narrower ones
often lean so much as to make prOppine
necessary. The house has four win
dows with frames set within one foot Of
the outer edge. This leaves space enough
to set n busting pan. The walls are

clean. Buffalo sod can be utilized for
the same purpose, but will not stand so
long, the sod lacking the long tough
roots which are so characteristic Of the

SUBMARINE TUNNEL OPEN.
Street Cars Now Run Under Harbor
of Boston.

Boston, Dec. 30.-The submarine
tunnel connecting Boston and East
Boston was opened for public travel
today. The dedication of the tunnel
to public use was carried out without
any formality. The tunnel is double
tracked, IA miles long, 2,7OO feet OF
which is under the harbor waters. The
cost of construction was $3,00O,0 900.
The tunnel was built by the city of
Boston, which has leased it for a term
of % years, dating from 1897, to Bos-
ton Elevated Railroad company which
will use the tunnel exclusively for the
passage of its eelctric cars between
Boston and East Boston.
About four and One-half years have
been consumed in constructing the
tunnel, in the accomplishment of
which many difficult engineering prob
lens had to be solved, chiefly on ac-
count of the maze of underground
pipes, sewers and wires and also be-
cause of the perilous nature of the
work of digging the large passageway
underneath the bed of the Boston
harbor. The tunnel is built entirely of
concrete and is the only tunnel of
that kind in the world In arranging
for the stations the builders made use
of historic ground, for the entrance
near Washington street is directly un-
der the old Massachusetts state house,
while the Sco1lay square terminal lies
underneath the old Boston court

ence for the quiet and seclusion, to
say nothing of the security from in
trusion, afforded by the Jail. She is
reported to have said, in this connec-
thing upon which she was engaged
when arrested and that this was finish
ed last week.
Mrs Chadwick yesterday told an ac
uuaintance at the Jail that the day she
was arrested or shortly thereafter she
was given assurance that bail would be
Forthcoming as soon as she wanted 1t.
She also said. according to this person

the police to strengthen and verify the
information which they already had as
to the time Milton Franklin, alias Bou-

Mrs. Bessie Bouton, believed to be the
victim of the Mount Cutler murder.
The last trace the police have of the
couple dates back to October 20. Short

Franklin left this city and whether

Civil service Rules Govern.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Commission-
er Greene and Examiner Snyder, of
the civil service commission, have re-
turned here from three weeks visit
to the Panama canal zone, where they
went for the purpose of introducing
the commissions rules for the employ
ment of people connected with the
canal. They established a local board
for the examination of skilled laborerS
and authorized the keeping of local
list of eligibles, and these aids they
believe will be sufficient to enable the
canal auth critics to secure all the as
sistance they require. Mr.. Greene says
they found a gratifying condition of
health among the canal employees.
There has been an average of 1,50e
Americans on the isthmus for the past
eight months, and not one death has
occurred among them.
