The Day That Ia Like a Year.

that the mind of the devil-or woman
could have devised.
The Day That Is Like Year.
TO Remington the first weeks of his
proba ton in solitary confinement passed
like a horrible dream, in which every
day seemed the length of a year-"a
year whose days are long" The rough
tongued, kindly hearted doctor who, be
fore he came to Norwood Scrubs, had
advised him TO give his viii a rest if
he wished to avoid trouble in prison
had told him also that unless he was
very unlike other men-unlike any man
he had ever uncomfortable would find
that the routine Of the prison life would
gradually become the reality, and the
outside life-the old life-would gradually
fade and become dim and unsubstantial
as a dream.
IF it wasn't So our penal establish
ments would be composed of Broad
moors" he had said. But as it is, we
are creatures of habit; and you'll get
into the habit OF your prison tasks just
as the restless schoolboy settles down
to the routine of the city office he's
pitchforked into, and becomes the tame
clerk content to tot up the figures of
other folks money"
Sometimes the remembrance of those
words came to Rimington. filing him
with a sense Of impotent rage. They
were so horribly true. Day by day as
he felt himself caught up relentlessly
by the great wheel of the prison routines
mechanical and souess. that brushes
remorselessly all individuality out Of a
man, he wondered what the end of the
twenty years would find him Even after
five weeks he was beginning to see the
inevitable deterioration in personal hab-
its which prison life brings about. II
this deterioration progressed at the same
rate
He fought against these thoughts with
all his strength. setting himself doggedly
to his daily tasks, that already after five
weeks had reduced his hands to a condi-
ton worse than that of the average man
ual laborer. Whatever outward submits
sion he must make. at least he must re-

You're a gentleman. Rmingtonl They
say that makes your lot far harder to
bear. It may be so-indeed, know that
it Is so: but your birth. your education,
your religion, give you something that
will enable you to bear your punish

1t gives you peculiar sense Of cour-
AGE"
Did it" Rimington wondered. There
had been a week in which all sense of
courage had deserted him. in which life
and death and religion and hope had
slipped away from under his feet, and he
had felt himself falling through an
abyss of despair, in wn'cn, as he fell,
he had wept and raved like mailman.
That. too. now that 1t was past seemed
dim and unreal part of the awful dream.
1t is only today that is real in prison
today with its endless hours, its harsh
tasks its revolving food. Rimington had
never realized until these weeks in prison
the extraordinarily important part food
plays in the life of a man, the real intiu-
ence Of cookery on character Sometimes
there were days when the sun shining into
the cell some outside sound or inward
thought, set an utterly irresponsible sense
of hope stirring in his heart, and he
would go about his tasks in the tiny
world with a ltghtness and a nerve that
surprised himself. It seemed as though
some instinct told him that help was
near; that vindication was knocking at
the very prison gates. Then he would
hold inward converse with Betty, the
loved one he must so soon see. What
laughs they would have together. over
this discovery of his that it was the hand
that welded the frying pan that ruled the
world
Then, as the hours wore on and the
sun travelling round the prison left h.
cell in gloom again. and all the ugly.

monotonous sounds OF the prison went on
around him unchanged. the hope in his
heart would die down, leaving only the
gray ashes OF despair behind it. \ touch
Of madness, this hope that was all For
in truth there was no hope; stretching
before him the illimitable vista OF his
prison life, with its seven thousand odd
days and nights, and never a ray of hope
in all its grayuess His head would ia
on his breast and the old stupor, thai
had nothing merciful in its dun apathy
would creep up over him again; so he
would sit till the sharp voice of the in

As rule the beginner starts in the
poultry business with great enthusi-
ism. He carefully looks after the
Ietails and he gives the best of atten-
lion. In time, however. in many
cases. the enthusiasm wears off and
he becomes neglectfM, then he fails.
n, on the other hand, he does not
become discouraged, but keeps up his
aithful work. he succeeds. The plant
grows. There Is an Improvement in
his stock. and his enthusiasm. instead
Of tagging, is increasing.
Now 1t is well not to be too enthusi-
astic at the start. It is apt to breed
Jver-confidence. The beginner In such
cases is apt to build air-castles and
get to that point where he Knows It
all" A little knowledge Is some
times a dangerous thing.
1t ia necessary, of course, to have
some enthusiasm. All enterprises re-
quire 1t, Unless heartfelt interest is
taken in the work assigned us we are
apt to poorly perform our duties.
Helter-skelter methods are disas-
trous. Every muscle should bend to
the proper performance of the work.
The man who begins poultry-culture
with the idea of becoming rich. is
very apt to. sooner or later, sell out
at less than cost. We must not aim
too high.

WHITEWASH THAT

Excellent and Quite Inexpensive
Plan of Improving General
Appearance OF the
Home.

There are many brick and stone
walls, as we'll as wooden outbuildings,
fences and the like, about suburban
place which, lacking paint, detract
much from the general appearance of
the home But paint is somewhat ex-
pensive and cannot be applied with
too lavish hand by the average clti-
zen. There is, however. whitewash,
which is easily made and applied, is in.
expensive, and which for most out
door work will answer quite as we'll as
oil paint. For chicken houses, brick
walls and the like it is excellent.
To make the whitewash, slake half
bushel Of fresh lime with boiling
water. keeping 1t covered during the

Two important articles are neces-
sary to success. Capital and expert
ence. All businesses require both
capital and trained mind. Some
years ago the poultry business was
doomed with the false inducement
that raising chickens was an occupa-
ton that called for very little labor,
practically no capital and very small
amount of experience. These false in
ducements were handed out in order
to create sales for stock and machin-
cry.
But instead of being that easy occu-
patton, 1t was found to be one that
required brains, energy, and every
requisite needed In any other bust
ness. He who is easily discouraged,
a victim of the "blues," or he who
soon tires Of the sameness OF work,
or the close confinement Il entails,
had better leave the poultry business
entirely alone.
While 1t cannot be said that the
care OF poultry is hard, muscular
work. at the same time, getting up in
the morning and repeating what every
morning before was done during the
week, working at night when a Ian
tern is necessary, duties to perform
on every day, Sundays and holidays
included, soon tries the grit, the push
and the patience of man.
But If the man masters all these
obstacles, and sticks to his business,
he WILL as a rule, succeed. There are
times in all enterprises when 1t looks

as though the business would fail by,
by pegging away it is soon discovered
that only a dark cloud had appeared
But 1t is at these times that the
faint-hearted begin to reason that the
days for success in this line" are
gone by.
When a man gets to that state of
mind that he cannot see a silver lin.
ing In the cloud, he Is ready to accent
the first offer to sell out In the
majority of cases he makes his losses
all the greater by selling out below
cost.

But he stuck to the work, and when

So the beginner must not forget
that he who sticks to his work Is the
one who will finally come out on the
right side. Trials are often angels in
disguise.
The beginner must know that his
fowls deserve and must have the best
of care. He must keep a close watch
as to conditions, must provide com.
fort, cleanliness and plenty of room.
Likewise he must study the appetites
of his flock.

merely another term for bad manage

The beginner must stop and think.
He must notice the little matters He
must never assume more work than
he can accurately perform. He must
never overestlmate his capacity, and
he must never rush to get done.
Haste makes waste. Map out

The lack of good business sense has
been the cause of more failures than
has anything else. A man never
shirks his duty when he is in dead

CROSSWORD, the oldest inhabitant OF
the tenth precinct Of the first ward.
"Why back In the fall Of 49," Uncle
Bill said to a reporter, I'VE had
rain that you could call rain without
telling a lie. 1t didn't come down IN
little tubfuls as this does-it poured
in a steady torrent like fire hose
with three engines on It,. A neighbor
Of mine opened his door one morning
to yawn, and drowned before he could
shut his mouth. I didn't even put
on my macintosh for this little drtz-
zle!"
Notwithstanding the derogatory, re-
marks Of the older citizens, a growing
uneasiness is riding about In the minds
of the more thoughtful. The wheat
crop is totally ruined and farmers de-
clare that unless the sun gets on the
job with considerable speed, there
won't be enough corn gathered to
feed a mouse that has lost his ap-
petite.
Gravest fears are entertained for
the levees along the Euphrates. AL
ready much of the rich eastern shore
farmlands are in the hands Of the
fishes, and it is said that the Moose
River dixie is liable to go at any
minute. Planters with loaded shot
guns and stropped daggers are pa
trolling the banks to ward off vandals.

predict that the ark will buckle amid

For motor power she has two masts

Putter engine Of the latest type. The
ark Is guaranteed to make 10 knots
practically every day. She Is fitted
throughout with outside plumbing.
There Is little need for any sort
Of power since the owner expects the
skif merely to act as a house boat
until the high waters subside. Mr..
Noah explains this by saying that the
waters will be up for some time and
that 1t will be constant diversion
for him and his sons to wrassle with
the engine troubles that are sure to
develop.
Since the ark will have large blocks
of room to spare after the Noah fam
lily and their possessions are aboard,
the owner has consented at the earn
est solicitations of the local S. P. c. A.
to take full catalogue Of ANNA is
aboard. Though the members OF the
association take little stock in the
prediction Of the deluge, they want
to be on the safe side with a COM
plete zoo. The executive committee
had a stormy meeting yesterday when
the question came up as to whether
fish should be taken aboard with the
other animals and insects. The ayes
won at the expense of several black
eyes and torn shirtwaists. Loading
Of the animals will begin Monday.
While the professional weather
sharps were scoffing at the prediction
of the aged admiral last week, they
are beginning now to do some seri-
GUS thinking. The head of the local
bureau, J. ]. Sproggins, got out his
pencil and pad yesterday and figured
out that if the rain keeps up at its
present rate for three weeks Mr..
Noah's prediction will be fulfilled,
though there will be no one left to
whom he will have the satisfaction Of
saying that he told him 50.
1t is a fact that all official records
have been shattered, soaked and dis
solved by the continued downpour of
the last three weeks. The government
rain meter on the roof of the Cairo
Casualty Building registered a fall Of
IA feet in the twentyfour h ours begin
ing yesterday at P. M. Though Mr..
Sproggins put on his strongest glasses
and went over his instruments a cou-
pie Of times, he can find nothing to
indicate that there is any relief in the
near future.
Though the heaviest previous rain
fall on the government books was in
May Of 1885, when feet fell in
twelve hours, there are several old
gentlemen that white cracker boxes
for the local grocery stores who sneer-
ingly call this light shower. One

spite of their scoffing protests, put
them to work on the large craft in
which he expects to ride out the high
waters when all the rest of us are
snoring peacefully in watery graves.
His entire private fortune, inherited
from his father and augmented by his
own efforts, has been sunk, so to
speak, in the huge craft.
The boat was launched yesterday,
leaving the ways of Mr.. Noah's pri-
vate shipbuilding yard at 4.3o in the
afternoon. A large crowd with UNI
brellas cheered and laughed as she
took the water. The customary bottle
of fizz water was broken over the
ark's PROV by little miss Sarah Jen-
kin, the 10-year-old daughter of one
of the neighbors. The size Of this
ship astounded all regular shipmak-
ers, many Of whom declared that its
size would render it impracticable for
the high seas. Since he made out
the blue prints Mr.. Noah has been the
brunt of many good natured jokes
in the tap room Of the Columbia
Yacht Club, Of which he Is popular
member.

Euphrates City, Asia Minor, April
Is, 234S, B. c. (Via Paris) .-Mr.
Noah. a citizen living on the banks Of
the Euphrates River a couple Of miles
south of the Gomorrah & Western
Railway bridge, declares that the pres
ent unprecedented rainfall will con-
tinue until the whole face Of the
earth is inundated. When asked
what authority he had to go on. Mr..
Noah replied:
"No-I didn't look at the weather
reports in the newspapers for the in
formation. In fact, carry my own
barometer with me in the form of
a very fine case Of rheumatism. From
the way 1t has been acting here OF
late I am convinced that flood is
headed in this direction"
Whatever others may think OF the
prediction, Mr.. Noah himself has per-
feet faith in 1t. SO strong was the
bunch that he called his three sons
