culture on Incubation and Incubat-
ors." The summary Of his instructions
is given below, and the bulletin may
be had on application to the Depart
ment at Washington, D. c.:
Study your incubator. Acquaint
yourself with all it's parts. Read the
manufacturers directions for setting
it up. Set it up carefully and accord
ing to instructions. Never try to run
an incubator in drafty place, nor near
a stove, nor where the sun shines upon
it. Set fertile eggs only. Waste no
effort upon those that are doubtful
Learn how to trim and clean a lamp.
Keep the lamps full and the wick and
tube clean. Avoid smoke. See that
the eggs are clean and dry before set
ting them. Balance all eggs, large end
up, few hours before placing them
in the tray. Do not overfill the tray.
Turn every egg the third day. Cool
the eggs every morning. Be sure your
hands are clean when handling eggs.
Test all eggs by the seventh day. Test
again by the eleventh day. Test again
by the fifteenth day. If the air space
is too large, supply moisture; If too
small, put saucer Of dry lime in the
room and run without moisture day.

about the air cell the first hatch. You
will learn that later. Do not disturb
the eggs after the evening Of the
eighteenth day. Have regular hour

NO TWO HATS EVER ALIKE
Made by Machinery or by Hand
There Is Sure to Be
Difference.


There are no two things alike in
this worId-no two atoms alike, no
two blades of grass alike, no two
peas alike, no two faces alike, won
derful-most wonderful of all-no two
ladies' hats alike! Has this thought
ever been impressed upon you while
sitting in an assemblage of women
on, the wisdom and forethought OF
nature, for were each woman 10 have
a hat similar to her neighbours what
an infinite variety of additional woes
and heartaches and tears the human
race would have had to bear!
And. yet, Mathew Softleigh, born
and bred in New York, says the Sun
knew naught of this. His tender brair
could not conceive the fact that every
thing in this world is infinite in its
revolutions and ramifications, partic.
ularly iadies' hats, so Matthew backed
his poor judgment with real money
and made a wager with his friend
Silas Cute. that he would soon find
him two hats that were alike.
Matthew and Silas selected a warm
| spring day and they walked up and
down the great White Way, they
/ promenaded Fifth avenue, they visit
| ed the parks, they strolled to the east
side, the west side and every other
side, they visited the theaters, the
concert halls, the churches; from cay
to day the quest continued until both
were weary and footsore. They saw
Gainsboroughs, picture hats, sailors
hats of straw, hats of felt, hats with
ribbons, hats with feathers, hats with
aigrettes, but no two hats alike. They
saw dreams of red and blue and green
as well as nightmares and incubi o
Arabian Nights phantasy. There wal
poetry and prose, music and flowers
typified in every one, but no TIVE
alike! What ingenuity they repre-
sented. what ceaseless brain activity
what thought, what feeling, what deli
cacy in some, which if put into a
poem or a symphony would earn hin
or her a place in the Hall of Fame!
Matthew lost his bet, and it is we
: that he did. There should be no NV
hats alike, there are no two nat
' alike and there never will be tw
+ hats alike. Nature, like woman,
feminine; she has a variety of mood

ENTIRE CANON FOR CHURCH
Religious Rights and observances of
the Hopi Indians of Grand
Canon.

The Paradise or Spirit House of the
Hopi is in Grand Canon, and there is
sent, during certain important cere-
monies, a messenger priest who makes
a votive deposit in the shrine erected
there, tenders a prayer offering of sa-
cred cornmeal to the rising sun and
carries back with him certain waters
and herbs for use in further rites,
writes Louis Akin, in the Craftsman.
Shrines are everywhere in the vicini-
ty of Hopi towns. Some are shrines
to distant mountains, rivers, the
ocean, some to prehistoric or tradi-
tional homes of ancestors or clans,
and in nearly every field is some man
ner of shrine in which to deposit es-
pecial prayer offerings prepared by
the priests for the purpose. which the
fortunate ones proudly carry to the
fields with perfect confidence in their
efficacy. The indoor religious cere
monies are held in underground
chambers known as kivas. of which
there are IA in Oraibi. Each man be
longs to some one of the fraternities
occupying these kivas.

1T HAPPENED IN JERSEY
There Was One Man Who Didn't Know
About the San Francisco
Earthquake

Not all the world knew of the San

morning after it occurred that they
learned of the earthquake and fire.
The nearest habitation to the cot
tage is a farmhouse whence daily Wis

During the visit of Wednesday, the
day of the earthquake, none of the
farmers family, all gossips of the
usual bucolic type, mentioned San
Francisco at all. On Thursday night,
the visitor, while waiting for the milk
pail to be filled, remarked, apropos OF
threatening sky, that she hoped
there might be rain in San Francisco,

PARTICULAR INSECTS
ANTS ARE NOT so WISE AS
THEY ARE CLEAN.
solomon's Advice to the sluggard Is
Disparaged by German Scien-
tist-Facts of In
terest

According to DIR. Escherich,
learned entomologist of Strasburg uni
versity, Solomon erred in commend
ing the ant to the sluggard as shin
ing example of wisdom and industry.
The German savant thinks Solomon
would have better justified his claim
to be regarded as the wisest man that
ever lived had he exolled the ant as
an exponent of cleanliness. He has
just published the results of an ex-
haustive study of these wonderful in
sects. He combats the views of those
investigators who assign to them al
most human intelligence. But as ex-
ponents of that virtue which stands
! next to godliness he maintains that
ants stand prominent, and if the hui
man race would pattern after them in
| this respect half the diseases on
which doctors thrive would vanish.
Ants, he declares, abhor dirt in any
form about their bodies Nature has
provided them with implements that
serve the same purpose as combs and
brushes in the hands of civilized
folk, and they make far more effective
use of them. They are never too busy
to clean themselves. No job is so i'm
portant to an ant that he won't knock
off work to clean himself. He does
not wait until his days labors are fin
ished to perform his ablutions. He
is never too tired to lend another ant
a hand-or, rather, a leg-to effect q
thorough securing. He will toledate
loafing occasionally, for the profes
sor asserts it is a mistake to suppose
that ants are everlastingly hunting vi
jobs, but he won't put up with dirt!
neighbors. Cleanliness is the supreme
law of the community.
But the professor rather detract
from the credit one would otherwise
be disposed to give them for the prac
tice of this most exemplary virtue b,
telling us that ants are driven to
by the conditions of their existence
without the most scrupulous cleanl
ness" he says, they could not recog
nize each other nor communicat
anything. The cohesion of the ind
vidual with its fellows is maintaine
solely through the medium of tn
sense of smell. If the ant is covere
with dust the possibility of it's bein
recognized is diminished to an extri
ordinary degree. The antennae
particular must always be kept clear
for it is only with their aid that til
ant remains in close communicate
with it's tribe"
: 1t is their highly developed sense
cleanliness, the professor says, whic
: also explains the ants funerals
about which so much has been wri
ten. Ants, it is well known, carr
. their dead to definite burial place
where they arrange them in mo
i careful order. The little creatur
: do not, however, do this with the o
ject of providing their dead conrad
s with the last resting place. DR..

DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel of cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as 10 pounds OF
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatins

GOLF YARN BY LoNowosTH
And Kansas Story IN Return hE an
Enthusiast at ths
Cams

Nicholas Longworth. Of Ohio, is a
golf enthusiast who plays a good game,
and Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, a golf
enthusiast who plays very indiffer-
ent game, when swapping stories in
the house cloakroom the other day,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Kansas City Times.
1.-The most remarkable golfer l ever
knew" said Representative Longworth,
was man out in Cincinnati who had
a passion for the game, but who com
plicated that fervor with an appetite
for Scotch highballs that was the Won

His theory was that there should
be a drink server on every tee. and
he worked it by means of an army of
caddies. One afternoon he came in
and announced that he had renowned

Heng before leaving England for
France recently paid the British quite

He said: What has chiefly impressed
me is the dignity and sohdity of your

of any political differences keeps the
race well together. You remind me of

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to nan down.
II responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
Keeps its course truly when made to
lollow its endless routine.
Inc hands of a clock should always
ne turned forward To set the hands
oy reversing the right-hand motion is
70 loosen delicate screws that hold
mem within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is well bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have pedulum.
