must not be continued too long. Pre-
pared poultry foods-in fact, all sti-
mulants to winter egg laying-are cal
culated to weaken the germs in spring
eggs, especially if the birds are close
ly confined. The best way to save
eggs for Matching is to have them laid
when the germs of the eggs are
thought to be stronger; that is, when
the fowls have had a run out after
their long term of winter confinement
Where hens have had run during the
winter in barn, stable or shed, it is
possible that the germs of the eggs
laid by them may be strong at an
earlier date. The eggs should be
placed with small end down and kept
in cool, but not cold temperature
and they should be put into incubator
or under hens as soon after they are
laid as possible.

Blame No one-Learn How.

An owner of suburban railroad
was recently distressed by an acci
dent, which killed four of his passen.
gers, injured others. destroyed prop
erty and brought upon his head a
Jury censure.
A couple of years ago l sat down
with his man in his home and tried
to show him how my accuracy re-
searches could be useful to him and
to others, but I did not succeed. He
told me plainly that he could not
understand my plan.
1t was useless to blame him or my.
self or conditions. He was honest in
his decision and did my best in pre-
senting my subject and the conditions
must always be accepted as we find
them, though it is not necessary for US
to let them remain that way.
Time and practice enabled me to
tell others my plan in a way to get
them to try it. Had I known two
years ago what know now, it is pos
sible that l might have interested
the man and prevented his recent
trouble. The same can be said of a
wholesale house which had an ex-
plosion in their basement. Exercises
in accuracy and forethough. are pre-
venters of trouble.

CHAPTER v.-Continued.

Franklin looked about him at the
squat buildings of the little town, at
the black loan of the monotonous and
uninviting fields. at the sordid, set
and undeveloping lives around him.
He looked also at the white wagons
moving with the sun. 1t seemed to
him that somewhere out in the vast
land beyond the Missouri there beck
cned to him mighty hand, the index
finger OF some mighty force, impera-
tive, forbidding pause.
The letter of Battersleigh to his
friend Captain Franklin fell therefore
upon soil already well prepared. He
read it again and again in its some
what formal diction and informal or
typography, was as follows:
TO Capt. Edw. Franklin, Bloomsbury,

A MiIIionaire's Gloves.

A multi-millionaire discovered one
of his gloves gone after the stage had
left the station dozen rods.
Many people with less money would
have kept quiet and let the glove go
rather than try to regain it.
Not SO with this man. for he wanted
that glove for his hand while at a
summer resort, and he respected little
things more than people do who have
Lothing but little.
The bus or stage returned to the
station and there on the ground by
the platform was the glove which got
away from its mate as they were
pulled from the coat pocket.
Every one in the stage seemed
pleased over the mans success and
probably each one ever after became
more careful with their gloves.
We learn of each other unconscious

Ing in skill every day we live and a
daily increase of skill is as fine a

which aid us in any way.
