Mrs. Mary White was born
in Ireland in 1884. Died at the
home of her sou-In-law, Frank
Thomas January IL, 1906.
This history seems brief and
yet it covers the long life of a
noble, generous Catholic lady,
a woman loved by all who knew
her for her great virtue, of
sympathetic heart and helping
hand.
After an illness of only five
days of pneumonia and heart
trouble, she drifted into a quiet
sleep from which she will
awaken in the arms of Jesus.
She leaves two daughters and
two sons, one sister aud one
brother, all who were at her
bedside when she passed away
like a quiet sleep, She was
buried Sunday from HOLY
Rosary Church in the Catholic
cemetery at Monroe City.

WORLDS LARGEST INCUBATOR.
Some of the unique methods
used to hatch $1,000 eggs at
time are interestingly described
in the Technical World Maga-
zine for February, as follows:
A novel feature is that the heat
of the eggs is regulated by rails
ing or lowering them in the
egg chamber, which is nearly a
foot highlinside, burlap separ-
atiug it from the pipes. 1t is
well known that as the process
of Matching advances the ami
NAL heat in the eggs becomes
greater, requiring in oil'heated
incubators a lowering of the
temperature of the air supplied.
Iuseach compartment is a double
glazed window, so that the
thermometer may be read with
out opening the door. The egg
trays rest on double frames
hinged by galvanized arms or
levers. AS the chicks develop,
the trays are lowered on these
supports, the first drop being
made In six days and others at
intervals, until on the twenty
first day, the trays are resting
on the bottoms of the cham
bers. All infertile eggs are |
tested out on the seventh |
day.
