College Woman and the Family.

Mrs. Ballinger. wife Of the Secre-
tary of the Interior. is a firm believer
in higher learning for women. There
are many women in Washington who
oppose exhaustive college education
for their sex, and Mrs. Ballinger is
never happier than when trying to
prove they are in error. She holds
that the State owes as big a debt to
women as to men, and that it is only
the part of simple justice to throw
all venue of education open to
women, providing they pass the requi-
site examinations. Mrs. Ballinger
also vehemently denies that college
women are not as likely to marry as
their sisters of less accomplishment
in an educational sense. She is a

side Mysteries of Show Life.
Any bookseller will tell you that
the constant quest of his customers
Is for "a book which will make me
laugh" The bookman Is compelled
to reply that the race Of American
humorists has run out and comic lit
erature is scarcer than funny plays.
A wide sale Is therefore predicted for

Clown Of Our Daddies, written by
Maria Ward Brown, a book guar
anteed to make you roar with laugh
ter. The author presents to the pub
lie q volume Of the great testers
most pungent jokes, comic harangues,
caustic hits upon men and manners,
lectures, anecdotes, sketches Of ad-
venture, original songs and poetical
illusions; wise and witty. serious,
satirical, and sentimental sayings Of
the sawdust arena of other days.
These Memoirs" also contain a series
Of adventures and incidents alternat-
ing from grave to gay; descriptive
scenes and thrilling events; the rec
ord of half a century of q remarkable
life, in the course Of which the sub
ject was brought into contact with
most Of the national celebrities Of the
day. The book abounds in anecdotes,
humorous and otherwise; and it af-
fords a clearer view Of the inside
mysteries of show life than any &C.
count heretofore published. Old Dan
Rice, as the proprietor Of the famous
zone Horse Show" was more of a

Ward, and this volume contains the
humor which, made. the nation laugh
even while the great Civil War ragged.

These have returned to the highest

Incubator Chicks.


Chicks must be kept clean either
with hens or in a brooder. To clean
them every day is not too often. The
heat from the brooder makes drop
pings produce foul air, as do hens
when brooding chicks. Give no feed
until the clutch is at least thirty-six
hours old. They do not need it for
the yolk absorbed just before hatch
ing provides them until that age.
Leave them in the incubator or under
hens until ready to give the first feed,
which should be fine gravel or sand
on the bottom of the coop or brooder.
They will eat quite a lot of it, and it
provides the gizzard with grit to
grind food.

II Paws to CaponiZe.

1t rays to CapOn1Ze.
A capon bears the same relation to
a rooster as a steer to a bull, and as
bull meat is not equal to steer meat
so are roosters not equal to capons.
When cockerels become capons
they cease to grow combs and wat
ties, do not crow and fight, grow
much faster and finer flesh and bring
more money than ordinary chickens.
If a cock weighs ten pounds, a
capon will weigh fifteen, and bring
three to four times the price, one
hundred and twenty-five dollars often
being paid for 100 capons.
1t certainly pays to caponize sur
plus cockerels. A set Of tools, with
full instructions for using, costs
$3.50, and only ordinary skill is re-
CURED.
For caponizing, 'cockerels must be
less than six weeks old and weigh a
pound or more.

Cuticura Proved successful.
About two years ago my eyes got in
such a condition that I was unable to go
about. They were terribly inAamed, both
the balls and lids. I tried home remedies
without relief. Then I decided to go to our
family physician, but he didn't help them.
Then I tried two more Of our most promi-
nent physicians, but my eyes grew contin-
ually worse. At this time a friend Of mine
advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and
after using it about one week my eyes were
considerably improved and in two weeks
they were almost we'll. They have never
given me any trouble since and am now
