EGGs FoR HATCHING.

The eggs that are to be placed in
the incubator or under the hen should
be gathered as soon as possible af-
ter they are laid # they are allowed
to become chilled it is probable that
if the germ is not killed outright,
it will be so weakened that the chick
will never be able to get out Of the
shell. 1t is not always possible to
set the eggs the same day they are
laid, and during the time of collect
ing they should be stored in a cellar
of about go degrees Fahrenheit. II
the air of the room is very dry few
pans of water should be set in the
room, otherwise there will be rapid
evaporation from the eggs. About
two weeks is as long as it is safe
to keep them from setting, and in
sure. good strong chicks, but the
fresher the eggs are that is, the
sooner they are placed under the hen
or in the incubator after being laid,
the better. The eggs should be turn
ed every day while in storage. Where
the hens are ali running together,
only the very finest shaped eggs
should be used for incubating pur-
poses. Abnormally large eggs, under.
sized eggs or those sharply pointed,
or any which do not appear normal,
should be discarded

1t is not profitable to keep too
many hogs in one bunch. If each
SOW and litter can be kept in separ-
ate lots until the pigs are old enough
to wean, better results will be OBJ
tanned. 1t is also generally best to
keep no more than twenty or twenty
five pigs or grown hogs in one bunch.
The practicability OF this will depend
on the cost OF separating larger num-
bers. II it can be done at a moderate
cost it will usually be found to pay.

form of exercise and diet for the av-

'sWhile I advocate hearty
eating, / cannot say too much

no one can be healthy who
persists in their use.
TOO much exercise is as bad as too
little. Walking is the best exercise
, there is EARLY each morning, after
drinking a glass Of hot water, dressed
in loose clothing, walk for nearly
an hour.
Athletics should receive some at
tention from every girl. If her time
precludes the playing of tennis or golf
she should take long walks in the
open air, both before the morning
and evening meal, throwing the head
and shoulders back and taking long,
deep draughts of that which money

KILLS MOTHER FOR MONEY
George Simons, of PottsyiIIe, Pa,
Then Commits Suicide.
Young Man Sleeps For Seven Days in
House With Victims Body Watch
ing His Fathers Frantic Grief.

Pottsville, Pa.-George Simons, a
young civil engineer who was promi-
nent socially in this city, murdered
his mother because she refused to
give him money which would enable
him to marry his sweetheart, Miss
Viola Hartranft After he had slain
her he carried her body to a spare
room on the third floor of the Simons
home and laid it on the floor. Leav-
ing it there he went out and pur-
chased a large quantity of quicklime.
Returning with it to the garret he
poured it over the body, hoping to de-
stroy the evidence Of his unnatural
crime.
Leaving the lime to do. it's destruc-
tive work, young Simons closed and
locked the door Not satisfied with
that, he got screwdriver and screws
and used them to make the door
doubly secure. Then he stopped up
The cracks with paraffine and painted
the door SO it would look like part of
the wall. To safeguard still further
his secret, he put up sign paint,
thinking no one would touch the con-
cealed door with that sign displayed.
Then he went to the rooms below.
For seven nights ne slept in the house
in room adjoining the one in which
his mothers body was being eaten
up by the lime, BY his bed was a
loaded rifle. For nearly the same
length of time he watched his father,
who was almost frantic, searching for
his wife
Young Simons was calling upon his
hpart WHOM q pOliPnpnqn arrived
at the Hartranft home to inform him
that the body of his mother had been
discovered and that she had been
murdered The police had no sus-
picion of young Simons. His guilty
conscience led him to suppose, how
ever, that his crime had been discov-
cred. AS soon as he heard the police
were asking for him he pulled pistol
from his pocket and sent a bullet
through his brain. 1t was not until
he had done that that Miss Hartranft
or any one suspected he knew any
thing about the murder.

YOUR PORCH NEED
NOT HAVE A ROOF
Beauty, Comfort and Utility Can
Be Obtained at Small Cost by
Those Who Desire.

. When woman plans her summer
home she is very likely to see first
porch, abnormally wide, says Kate
Greenleaf Locke in the Delineator.
Her fancy plays lightly with window
seats, steamer chairs, hammocks and
awnings, and pauses contentedly be-
side tinkling fountain trimmed with
ferns, the centre of cool enclosed
court. Alas and alackl she is often
brought to an unpleasant halt in
these imaginations by the reflection
that these things are expensive, and
consequently beyond her means
A wide porch built in the old way,
with a solid roof of shingles added
substantially to the cost of a house,
but there are several ways of getting
round this point To-day we realize
that we do not always desire a solid
porch roof, and our porch may be as
wide as we choose to have it when it
is covered only with supported beams
over which vines are trained; or, a
terrace porch may be built, which
means merely that floor is laid and
surrounded with low railing; over
this an awning may be stretched from
the house to the edge of the porch
and secured there by iron uprights
or by slender wooden posts. Where
these posts are twined with vines
they are not an unattractive addition
to the house, even when the awning
is not in use and is rolled up out of
sight.
The most desirable floor for a ter
race porch is one of cement, and in
this case rail is unnecessary. Small
trees in tubs and potted shrubs may
be set on the outer edge, and the ss-
feet with red-and-white striped avn
ing overhead, with low basket chair
holding cushions of Turkey-red call
leo, and with few small rugs or
mats of red-and-white grass mating,
is gay and brilliant, and yet it will
readily be seen that here is not half
the expense of the old-fashioned roof
ed-in porch.
