is bowel trouble, which, of course, is
quickly noticed in their droppings. One
of the causes of this is the leaving of
food in the hrooder After the chicks
have had their meal, gather up the re-
naming food. They should not eat be-
tween meals, anyway, and If the food
remains in the brooder after meal time
it Is apt to become sour.

Their little gizzard needs stone teeth to
grind up the food. Many successful
poultrymen keep charcoal before the
chicks, while others equally successful

PENNY MONYPENNY. BY Mary and

1t sounds like the name of some sort of
new puzzle game, or, maybe, a child's
catch-penny bank. 1t really is, however,
the shortcut name of Penelope Mony-
penny, whose little girlhood and big girl
hood, whose first love and second, make
an irresistible tale of Scottish folks and
life. The great charm of this story lies
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-04-05

in the lifelikeness Of its characters, in
the consistency with which each, through
out, lives up to himself. At the head o,
this group OF Scotch people are the old
Monypenny brothers-James and Sandy-a
crusty twain Of soft inside, to whom the
name of Monypenny has grown to the
proportions OF an institution. And there Is
Penny's beautiful mother. a model OF COM
mon sense and gentle intuitfons. And
Penny herself only pretty and sweet and
good. which is the most that any girl can
hope to be. Then, too. there is Lorin Weir,
whose unfortunate mistake lies In his
name. 1t should have been Monypenny.
In this case he would have been the heir
Of James and Sandy as well as their
nephew and ward. Lorin is, perhaps. the
, best of these characters. Certainly ne
must have been the most difficult for the
authors to meet in the sudden twists and
turns OF his contradictory nature. A
gifted rebel, a buoyant, whimsical, sick
Scotch boy who suggests Robert Louis
Stevenson himself. The story gets its
motion from the finally successful ardors
of the whole tribe of Monypenny to pre-
vent a marriage between Penny and Lorin.
That, to be sure. was their only sensible
course, for as husband Lorin stands
clearly among the impossibles. But as
some one to know he is a delight, and his
charm of personality wins from the read
er ready sympathy for him In the taclt
conspiracy against him. Penny's other
lover and her marriage need no comment,
since they are like everybody's lover and
everybody'S marriage. One counts this
as the very best of the good Scottish
stories made by the Findlaters.

tons of the United States-by an exal-
tation of the critical points of the civil
war. the trunk lines of it's development,
and by a corresponding suppression of the
great mass of details implicit in this
event. And ii is exactly this quality of
proportion, this emphasis where emphasis
is due, that makes the study important
to American as well as to English read
ers. There are three lectures. The first
one deals with the antecedents of the
war. Here are the agitation over slavery
the neck-and-neck race of the north and
south for territory, on the one hand to
suppress slavery. or at least to con-
fine it, on the other to extend 1t. The
J author makes the drama of this time i'm
pressive-the abolition activity, the strug-
gle in Kansas, John Browns raid, the fu-
gitive slave law and it's effects, the fire
brand of Uncle Toms Cabin. The Sec
ond lecture covers the two years lying be-
tween Lincoln's election and his emanci-
patton proclamation. Here is the secession
Of South Carolina, the immediate effect
of Lincolns election. Here is the setting
up of a new government within the bor-
ders of the old - twenty-three states

The Two Hague Conferences and

Foundation.
These comprehensive and mastery lee
lures summarize the new peace move

its ultimate aim and of the advance
upon this already made by the various
active instrumentalities Of a universal
peace. Among these lectures is a. report
in detail of the two Hague conferences,
with a particular stress upon the part
taken in these by the United States.
There is also a searching discussion of
world peace as against the arming of the
nations. of the use of international law
to adjust international differences in
place of the precipitate rush to arms, SO
inevitable in the past, so likely in the
present. The author forecasts the effect
of a continued general peace upon the
course of history. the progress of civiliza-

body except the old mother with whom
she lived in a small, shabby, no account
cottage. Looking back, her life stretched
gray and joyless. She had gone to work
at sixteen. That was when her father
died. She had had brother, but he had
rebelled at small town life and had run
away. He had written occasionally, but
now they had not heard from him for
over twelve years. With the chickens,
vegetables and small fruit that grew upon
the acre of land surrounding the small
cottage she and her mother made her
wages keep them in a fair degree of COM

she remembered drearily that at twenty
she had been an uninteresting girl with
serious face and ordinary brown hair.
None of the young fellows had ever
looked at her twice-probably not even
once.

Brooding Chicks.

At this time, when most incubators and
breeders are all heated up, and when
chicks are running under and from under
hovers, and when they are breaking
through the shell, few words will not
be out of place about breeders and brood
ing.
So much depends on doing the right
thing with artificially Matched chicks that
the subject can hardly be overtreated.
For after a 30, 60. 20 or so per cent
hatch no one likes to have the young
sters die or become weak through
thoughtlessness. In fact, we all strive to
bring forth every chick in the best Of
health. -
Therefore, see that your brooder Is thor
oughly clean before you put your hatch
into it. It must be free from vermin.
Watch it carefully and at least every
two weeks it should be sprayed with an
insecticide. Keep the floors clean, too
even If you have to clean them out every
day in the beginning, the evening being
the best time, for the chicks should nave

Keep your eye on your heating ap-

If the proper care is not provided the

overheating, chilling or from eating un-
wholesome food. Slipping on smooth

that no woman of her century left more
