THE LARGE
It Is to Be Preferred to One of Small
err Capacity.

The size of the incubator must be
regulated by the operators needs, but
we believe a small machine does not
pay so well as the larger sizes, for
the cost of operation is nearly as much
&0d less time is required to care for
one large brood than several small
ones. When the beginner can hold
the temperature steady and the same
in all parts of the egg chamber for "a
hours it is safe to put in the eggs.
These should be carefully selected, OF
medium size and Of good shape, not
elongated, nor very large at n n
nor fattened. The shell should be
nor too heavy. By the way, says the
Farm and Field, one should be careful
about the place of storage for eggs for
Matching purposes; if it is too cold the
germ will be chilled; if too warm the
germ may begin to grow. Eggs have
been known to terminate at SO de-
grees. The eggs need not be placed
in rows, but never should be crowded
so that they are piled on each other.
Upon the care of the lamp and the
regulation of the temperature depends
in a great measure the success of the
hatch. Always supply the lamp with a
new wick at the beginning of each in
cubation and All it late in the after
noon for then If anything happens 1t
will be in the daytime. Never handle
the g g after caring for the lamp as
there is danger of closing the pores
of the eggs.

two men? Anyhow, she'll be put
wise when she reaches Chicago"
"Well, it'll give me time to think
the matter over" said Brundage,
hopefully. You can stand the day
watches and I'll come on at night"
MI. Prout entered a vigorous pro-
test, but in the end his superior's ar
gument prevailed, and he fastened to
give the necessary instructions to the
members of the crew. True to her
word, Miss Polly Antrim installed her
self as sole passenger on the Arklam,
and the mate proceeded to map out a
long and difficult course Of deception
for what promised to be a memorable
voyage.
Capt. Brundage, in the role of the
silent Chester, passed muster before
the girls eyes in highly creditable
fashion. She made no sign Of recOg-
milton, and he reflected that the stage
must have lost a shining light through
his failing to perceive that nature had
clearly intended him for an actor. To
Mr.. Prout fell the agreeable task of
entertaining the fair passenger, who
exhibited a liveliness Of spirit not
wholly in keeping with the sorrow of
a maiden whom death had deprived Of
a lover. In fact, the mate, being a
single man in the -a:ly thirties, found
himself yielding TO the witchery Of
her black eyes, and inwardly congrat-
ulated himself upon the happy chance
which had thrown them together.
On the second day Capt. Brundage
saw fit to take the amorous Mr.. Prout
aside and e~xpostulate with him on the
too evident partially he displayed for
Miss Polly's society. The mate lis
tened to his circumstances and then
INDUCED in a fine burst of longshore
rhetoric, literally favored with harsh
explosives.
"A nice party you are" he con-
cluded, "to come giyin' me advice.
Wot is it to you if the girls took a
fancy to me? Regular dog in the nan
ger. that's wot you are. Don't want
her yourself an can't bear to see any

LEAP YEAR, AGAIN.

Mrs. Graham is an estimab1e lady

day the lady was careless enough to
drink a glass of red ink, believing it
to be claret. She was a good deal
scared when she discovered her mis-
take, but no harm came to her. The
doctor who was summoned, upon hear

marked to her: Mrs. Graham, there's

There Is more Catarrh in this section Of the country
than ali other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to q teaspOOnful. 1t acts directly on the blood

The skipper of the steamer Arklam
muttered something uncomplimentary
under his breath, but producing a
bulky pocketbook extracted several
bills therefrom and passed them to
the mate, who thrust them into his
p, ket and faced his superior with a
E@.Sied smirk.
Now that's settled, let's run over
your scheme again, sc as | can get

altly.

yourself up with a phony beard an

tain. If she one heard my voice it
I'D queer the whole game"
"Oh, aw right" responded the mate.
"Only she must be a bigger fat-head
than she looks if she swallows that.
Who'd ever believe as a company nd
hire a deaf dummy for captain of a
big steam freightsr?"
She's got to believe it," returned
the captain. Anyway, if she e e

1T wouldn't upset me-" retorted the
mate. Seems like she oughter be
joyful to hear it, if she's got any
sense"
'Thatll be all from you" growled
Brundage in high dudgeon. Just hold
your jaw and do as you're told"
Shortly after the Arklam tied up at
the Buffalo docks she was boarded
by a buxom young damsel with a de-
termined chin and a pair of snappy
black eyes. The watchful mate
greeted her at the gang plank, and
she acknowledged the salutation with
a gracious smile.

said. is Capt. Brundage around?"
The mate twisted his features into
a becoming semblance of grief.

response. He hesitated and shook his
head sadly.

CHARITY.

In no other time of the year is the
necessity for being charitable SO vivid
ly impressed upon us as during the
Christmas holidays, and perhaps at
no other time are wants of the poor
and needy more apparent.
"The poor We have with you al
ways" is as fully in evidence today as
during the time of Christ, when he
uttered such prophetic truths; and we
of this generation and time have just
as many obligations TO the poor, and
more, since we are the more enlight-
ened.
During the Christmas time, when
the feeling of the spirit Of the birth of
Christ fills our bosom, and we realize
what his birth means to us, we natur-
ally feel more kindly disposed one to
another. There is more of the spirit of
good fellowship and brOtherly love,
and though in our strenuous contests
for business during the busiest portion
of the year, yet in the midst of all, the
rush we always have or else take time
TO speak a pleasant word or give a
hearty handshake to every friend we
meet. Our impulses are more gener-
GUS, our manner more aftable, our
language more kind, our voice more
,,usicaI orr handmade more hearty.
our hearts happier, while our bosom
swells with gratitude and love- Why
all this? There indeed must be some
thing else more than the mere birth of
a man into the world Ii must be the
spirit from higher source which lifts
ais up TO such heights and fills US with
such noble impulse.
With this feeling possessing w, the
needs of charity become palmer TO our
vision, while the spirit OF giving one "a
another-a little token of love and re-
memberanee-ca do aught else
than to bring into contrast the needs OF
