At a certain Troy hotel young

young man requested that dinner be
sent to his wife and left the hotel for
few moments.
Meanwhile waiter was sent to the
lady's room with bill OF fare. She
took It from the waiter, glanced over
it with close scrutiny. and then, pass

me. don't want it,"
Said the waiter: why, it's a bill OF

evidently hadn't travelled, again re-
piled:
Yes, but you have made a mis-

want It,"
Going downstairs the waiter met the
young man and explained to him. He
marked OF a dinner and passed on.

ILL HEALTH AND MoRslpNEss.
Unfortunate Result Of Intense Passion
for Sympathy.

One of the tendencies OF III health
is to make one morbid. People who
are constantly thinking about their all
ments, worrying about their troubles
suffering pain, often develop a morbid
passion for sympathy. They want to
tell everybody OF their aches and
pains, to describe their symptoms, says
a writer. Have you ever known a
woman who has acquired the doctor
habit, woman who loves nothing in
the world quite so well as an oppor-
tunity TO tell the doctor of her all.
ments? She has poured them out to
unwilling ears, to forced listeners,
till she longs for some one who can
really appreciate It all. who sympa-
thi2es with her in her troubles; so
she sends for the doctor or goes to
see him. This becomes almost a
mania with some women, who have
few outside activities to divert them.
Their minds naturally revert to them
selves and they think OF their unfor.
tunate condition until they become
saturated with the poisoned thought

There is an erroneous idea in the

England, presents strange appear

IMPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR.
Operated by Electricity, Better Re-
suits Are Secured.

An electric incubator has been In.
troduced in Europe, the operation OF
which is said TO be attended by surer
results than other methods, for the
reason that IL is capable OF finer ad-
justment as far as heating and ventila-
ton are concerned. One Of the most
difficult features of artificial poultry
breeding is proper supply Of fresh
air. In the electrical incubator air is
supplied from underneath, the enter
ing fresh air coming In contactOwith
the eggs after being properly preheat-
ed by special radiators. This ventila-
ton is controlled by opening 70 vari-
able extent the lateral slides fixed at
the top Of the apparatus. II should be
remembered that ventilation plays the
role OF maintaining the life Of the
germ. While an ample supply Of fresh
air, therefore, is extremely valuable
for the development ~of the germ, any
excess of ventilation will prove detri-
mental in fact, the surplus air will
exert a drying action on the contents
OF the eggs. In this incubator the
matter of ventilation and heating is
looked after automatically.

ADVICE WORTH LISTENING TO.
Generally II at Least Helps One TO
Make Up His Mind.

You may disregard advice, but lis.
ten TO IT,
Don't scoff at It, no matter who the
person Is that makes 1t.
Many fool has helped wise man.
Even the worst advice presents one
side Of a question.
An astute man said that he always
wanted advice, not to follow 1t, but to
help him make up his mind. II you
once get this idea about 1t you will be
much the gamer in the battle of life.
No one person can present all the
points Of view, and person about to
take an important step should be
able to know what is all around the
horizon.
Listen to everything everybody has
to say, II YOU have the time; IL not,
always listen 10 anything that is pre-
sented strongly. whether or not 1t
agrees with your opinion
And above all things never scoff at
the criticism, with its implied advice,
OF an enemy. There you get your
weakest points exposed. If you are
wise you will be thankful for the op.
portunity to strengthen them.

SEES DOWNFALL OF THE BELL
Metal Tubes Will supersede II, Ae
cording to Clergyman.

III will not be many years." says a
st. Louis clergyman, before bells for
church use will be almost unknown.
Even now, when a church desires
something to answer the purpose Of
the bell, the trustees do not buy bells,
but tubes, some made OF bell metal.
other OF a composite OF several metals
The metal tubes are hung in steeples
and struck with a hammer. They
give clear, full note, just like bell,
only more resonant. They never crack
with cold or heat, and what is a still
greater recommendation, never get
out OF tone, There is chime In the
city with one or two bells so horribly
out of tune that they set peoples
teeth on edge. Such discord in a
chime OF metal tubes would be I'M
known, and besides. the tone is so
much more agreeable than that OF the
bell that any one who ever hears the
two can not fail to prefer the tube.
II sounds like great organ pipe, so
that when one Of these chimes is
played the impression is that of a
huge organ far up in the sky"

Vocation.

Every man has his own vocation.
There is one direction in which all
space is open to him. He has facul-
ties silently Inviting him thither to
endless exertion. He is like a ship in
river; he runs against distractions
on every side but one; and on that
side all obstruction Is taken away. and
he sweeps serenely over deepening
channel into an infinite sea.-Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
