NOVEL CHICKEN HATCHER.
Ohio Man UtiliEes the Heat Generat-

Ohio Man UtiliEes the Heat Generat-
ed by Bees.
Henry Decker of Hartsgrove, o., has
a new and novel way Of Matching
chickens and enjoys the reputation Of
being the first man to use this kind Of
an incubator, says Geneva co. spe-
cial dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. He uses the heat generated
by bees and says that he can hatch
100 "chicks" from 100 fertile eggs in
nineteen days.
This beats the old hen by two days,
and every farmer who knows how to
handle bees might profit by this sug-
gestlon. If one colony Of bees can be
made to do the incubating work Of
eight or nine hens, and also produce
from 140 to 400 pounds Of honey
which Mr.. Decker says is possible-it
will not be long until, bees are con-
sidered as indispensable to the farmer
as rural mail delivery and telephone
service,

WAGES AND PRICES.
Good Wages of Greater Importance
Than Low Cost of Living.


Secretary Shaw's speech at Whining
ton lends itself easily to misrepresen,
tation. A local Democratic paper put
over 1t the headline, Living Expenses
Should Be High" Secretary Shaw said
nothing Of the kind. What he did say
was that employment for all our peo-
pie at a given wage, with living ex-
penses high, is preferable to employ.
ment for only one-half our people with
living expenses however cheap" VIII
any Democratic paper dispute that?
Secretary Shaw's speech was useful
for its emphasis upon the community
Of interests 1t Is the habit of super
fetal or partisan observers to argue
that the prosperity of the farmer has
nothing to do with the well being Of
the artisan, and vice versa But Sec
retary Shaw wisely insists that the
two are interdependent. If the work
man earns higher wages, he can afford
more and better food, better clothes
and more comfortable home. and he
furnishes, therefore. a better market
for the farmer. On the other hand,
higher prices for the farmers cattle
and corn mean more lumber for farm
buildings, more barbed wire for fences
and better clothes and furniture, and
this again means more work and better
wages for the artisan.
The American policy of protection is
impregnable because the American peo-
pie understand this. They cannot be
fooled by free trade orators or Demo
cratic platforms. They know that the
protective tariff promotes the welfare
Of the whole people by stimulating and
steadying the market for American
products. and that those interests which
do not appear in the schedules are new
,ertheless encouraged and strengthened
Wy it.
1t takes a good while for even so
plain truth as this to percolate the
consciousness of Democratic leaders.
But there is evidence that it is doing so
in the comparatively mild and halting
declarations Of Democratic platforms
this year upon the tariff issue.-Boston
Journal.

Hx-Senator Davis, Locust Trees

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis of West
Virginia, the Democratic vice presi-
Dental nominee, seems never to have
calculated against an age limit, says
Melville Davisson Post in Harper's
Weekly. One afternoon in the present
summer he was walking through the
grounds of his beautiful estate at the
town Of Elkins, where he resides. He
was accompanied by one of his superin-
tendents, and the conversation ran
upon the growth of trees. '"rhese North
Carolina poplars," said the ex-senator,
grow rapidly, but they are poor trees
at the end" "Why don't you try some
harder ,treesY responded the superin-
tendent. 81 have thought about the
locust" ex-senator Davis answered.
LET me see, locust grows about
twenty-five inches in twenty years"
and then musingly, II think l shall put
some out"

The National Association Of Import
ers has been organized in New York

legislation consonant with a proper
consideration of the interest Of the i'm
porters Of the country" When the

favor the abolition of the tariff 1t Is
difficult to see why the importers
should organize separately for that
purpose But all importers are not In
tcrested in this organization.-Phila-

A CotiIIOn Figure.

A novel cotillon figure was introduc-
ed at country house dance the other
night, says the New York Globe. The
leader took thirteen men out of the
ballroom, and the ''leaderess" distribut-
ed to dozen girls who had to remain
behind, the return halves of railroad
tickets. The men in the passage each
received the half for the outward jour
ney. At a given signal every one sat
down, and the leader took up his post
at the door, while the thirteen men pre-
sented their tickets each in turn. The
names Of the stations were called out,
and the outward halves danced with
the returns, except in the case Of the
unlucky man who had received a dog
ticket, and he had to dance alone.

The Burlington railway has put III
operation out of Kansas City on the
Chicago "Eli'' train two new dining
cars. The cars are finished in what is
known as madder wood, taken from
the Philippine Islands, and are said to
be the first two cars in operation in
the United States in which this wood
was used says the Kansas City Times.
Madder wood is of dark brown color
and shows its grain attractively. The
two diners are lighted by acetylene gas.
and instead of the usual lamps in the
upper deck of the cars are lanterns
cast from statuary bronze and fitted
with art glass. Each car represents the
expenditure of about $4,000. They are
equipped with Haviland china, pur-
chased in Kansas City.

Among the most ardent advocates of

Rev. John ]. Hughes said of Bishop
: Potter's action that 1t reminded him
of an incident that had happened in
the church In Father Hecker's time.
"A man came here" he said land
told Father Hecker that he wanted to
open saloon in the parish. You
know he added, that I'm good, law
abiding man, and l want to conduct
the saloon on good moral lines, and |
don't want you to oppose me in opening
it. II you will consent promise to
comply with any stipulations you may
make for me in running it.
"'All right Father Hecker answer.
ed, you, can 90 ahead If you will COM
ply with my conditions. The first is
that you will have none but archangels
for barkeepers.'
ut Is unnecessary to say" continued
Father Hughes, that there was no
need Of mentioning the other condi-
tions. My opinion on the subject is
that laid down by all the Catholic bish-
ops, who say in the DEGREES of the
council Of Baltimore as to those en-
gagged In the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors:

Quoted similar experiment in Chicago.
He said:
Bishop Potter is one of the few men
in the country who are endeavoring to
deal in practical manner with the
saloon evil. His sympathies are with
the workingman. In this Subway sa-
loon movement he is following the plan
adopted by Earl Grey and very large
number of the Church of England
clergy. Conditions are different in this
country, and American sentiment is not
in favor Of thus meeting the saloon
problem. | thoroughly believe that the
most feasible way of antagonizing the
saloon is to provide proper substitute
