Sick Room Education.

BY Ada Patterson in New York American.
When some one with glowing cheeks
and brilliant eyes and q springy step
says:
Il have never been i'll in my life" I
think, What an education in the real
things of life you have lost! What dis
cipline you have missed"
For, as we look at the world through
the windows Of a slckroom, we learn
the lesson of helplessness. In health
we are, or should be, nightly self-re-
liant. But illness lays our spirits low.
We who had thought we were world
conquerors conclude that we are puny
atoms. That sense, though a passing
one, is Christening.
Looking with tired. longing eyes
through the. windows of a sickroom
at the hurrying world outside, we have
a new sense of values. The enmities
IN our lives seem trivial, the friend
ships great. Those whom. we love seem
very close to us, those we hated very
far off. We know what before we had
not known-that the friendships we
have formed have been the sweet.
green places in our lives.
10. our vision, as we peer day after
day through those windows upon the
kaleidoscope which is life, comes a new
~clearness. We understand many things
that had puzzled us. One of these is
the egotism of invalids. In the cruelty

bores. We had tired Of their ailments,
been exasperated by the recital of their
symptoms. But with the clear, new
vision have come understanding n
pity, understanding that our converse
ton cannot rise higher than it's source.
our own lives, the body life and the
thought life, and pity for the person
lmmured within the everyday, narrow
ing walls of that world of pain.
Through the. sickroom windows we
see another truth, the esteem hat great
skill deserves. The physician or sur
geon who comes every day to our bed
side to mend the battered craft for
another voyage-what reverence is due
him for work we'll done!
There flies through the sickroo1n win
dow a guest we may never before have
entertained. 1t is patience. We hive
expended our energies in doing. Now
we use them in bearing. It captures
our minds and pervadss our hearts.
this new owe to bear that condition
which we cannot alter, to bear II
quietly. bravely. with no outward
f1inching.
We look through the sickroom win
doWs again, but it is from the other
side. We are taking u place, though
it be with feeble steps, in the march
of life, and the look through the win
dows is a backward one. The world is
zig n joyous. The sickroom at which
we are taking the backward glance was
little and full of pain.
But 1T taught us many lessons. I'M
forgettable lessons, nj the chief of
these Is that the sun has arisen. and
before its light old cares have van
ished. We are glad, r%adiantly, heart
burstingly glad, just to be alive.

The Incubator in Egypt.

fas ~ - AAS NSAtt 6SaAsHhElHAft
Methods for Matching eggs artif1-
cially are about as Old as the pyra-
mids. h Egyptians were the pio-
neer poultry raisers and they Were able
to devise a means to do the work OF
the setting hen or the setting goose
nestle fowls. Several of the ancient
nave mentioned the skill of
the Egyptians in poultry culture. This
is from Diodorus, a Sicilian traveller
and historical, who visited Egypt about
10 b. c.:
.'Of Ill the discoveries to which any
class of Egyptians attained the one
which is most worthy of admiration is
their mode of rearing fowls nj geese;
and by a process their ingenuity has
devised they hatch the eggs and there
by secure an abundance Of poultry
without the necessity OF waiting for
the incubation of the lens.
THE poulterers may be divided into
two classes-the rearers and those who
sold poultry in the market; the former
living in the country and villages and
the latter In the market towns"
The incubator of the Egyptians was
a simple device, nothing like the mod
ern c~ontrivances that are automatically
heated by electricity and have every
The Egyptians Matched the eggs in
ovens built on the ground and heated
by a SLOW" fire. The ovens We're kept
at a temperature Of about 104 degrees.
The Egyptian roNlterers had no ther-
mometers, and they had to guess at
the temperature, but by long expert
ence they became expert.
Did the Egyptians stay up all night
with their incnbaiors? The early writ
erS don say, but perhaps they did.
Diodorus neglected to give details.
Pliny, the Roman traveller, estimated
that the Egyptians Matched 100 million
eggs a year In their incubator ovens.
time immemorial the Egyptians have
Matched eggs by artificial warmth in
peculiar ovens called mammals
THE modern Egyptians particularly
the Copts," says Gardner Wilkinson,
the Archaeological, have borrowed the
from their predecessors, and egg are
annually Matched in the towns Of up
per n lower Egypt"
Chickens, perhaps, were not known
IN Egypt at the time of the Pharoahs,
but the absence of these domestic
fowls, was compensated for by the
great abundance of ducks and geese,
Egypt geese were cultivated as one Of
the main articles of food in the coun-
try and they were reckoned as among
the most valuable farming products.
Geese We're sacrificed to the gods. When
an inventory was made of the belong
ings of an Egyptian farmer, the goose
eggs on hand were counted. Most of the
eggs Matched by artificial warmth by
the Egyptians were those of geese.
Egypt always has been a wonderful
egg producing country. Fowls of many
different kinds increased by the mil
lions in the lowlands along the Nile
river. The Egyptians robbed the nests
of ducks, geese n other wild fowls
and Matched the Eggs in their ovens.

to be successfully competing with Eng

Falls was her objective point. The two
local scribes spent a good share OF the
day watching incoming trains and per-
using the hotel registers and pump

The tip given the local newspaper
men was that Mrs. Thaw wore q long
pony coat, black lynx furs, a largo
beaver hat with q bunch of red roses.
A woman so dressed was Doh for but
not found.
Later il developed that Mrs. Thaw
was not coming TO Sioux Falls, not for
the present at least. She left st. Paul
Sunday morning for Spokane, Wash,
where IL Is reported h goes to spend
some time with her grandmother.
Mrs. Thaw is travelling under the
name Of Julia Allen, and the local reg
listers were closely scrutinized for such
an address.
However, word comes from 81. Paul
that instead Of looking for a divorce
from her husband that Mrs. ThaW Is

that her trip West Is for the purpose OF

NEW LOCOMOTIVE ASH
PAN Is INVENTED

Huron, S. D., Feb. 3.-What Is known
as the locomotive automatic ash pan
is being installed on all locomotives on
the Chicago & Northwestern road in
South Dakota. The first engine having
the new device left the shops In this
city a few days since. Among bills that
became law at the close OF the last
session of congress-, was n requiring
oil railroad companies In the United
States to place upon their engines an
automatic ash pan. thereby insuring
the safety OF railway employees In n
cleaning OF ashes from locomotives, do
ing away with the old method OF dump
ing the ashes by getting beneath n
engine. The time given in which these
pans were to be installed Is July 1,
1910, the law, however, going into eff
feet on January 1, 1909. During the
last year 1873 persons were killed or In
jured while performing this work In the
old way.
A. M. Urquha~t, OF this city, for sew
eral years a fireman or the Dakota
Central division OF the Chicago d
Northwestern line, is really h father
of the bill, and was called to Washing
ton to give testimony before the com
mittee having II in charge relative to
Its operation and results to be derived.
Mr.. urquhart, assisted by railway men
OF Huron, were earnest in their efforts
to procure the passage OF the bill, and
are now watching its effect with no
little interest. y
