OBITUARY.
pr. Drank A. TiIIinahast.

Following an illness of ten days with pneumonia, the death of Dr. Frank A. Tillinghast occurred on Thursday night at 10 o'clock in Arctic, R. I. He was and Dr. Patrick Cassidy of this city was a consultant.
 Dr. Tillinghast was for many years a well known practitioner of fnidicine in HaftYille and this city. For IS years he was a general practitioner in that village, until in 1889 he surren- dered his practice there to pr. George Thompson. and establishing an office at 330 Main street devoted himself to the special lines of nose, ear and throat and to the medical and surgical diseases of women. About 1897 he gave up his work in Norwich and went back to his old home in Rhode Island, where he has since resided with his wife, who survives him. He was an uncle of F. Leon Hutchins, superintendent of the Backus hospital, who is now in Arctic
 In his day Dr. TiIIinghast was a well known figure among the medical men of eastern Connecticut and the older men in this city remember him with affectionate regard. Brought up, in his professional training, in the day of small things, and without the re- sources of laboratory and clinic that modern medicine now yields, he mani fested in a high degree that acuteness of observation and skill of diagnosis which ripe experience gave to men of the old school. And in his width of mental, horizon and in the expansive warmth of his heart, Dr. Tnfinghast was proof of the. ennobIing influence that the daily practice of his art works upon the physician
 He was a member of the Norwich and the Connecticut Medical societies.

FOR PRESERVING HAILSToNEs
Boris Weinberg Of the archaeological
institute Of Tomsk Has Perfected
Simple Method.

The precise manner in which hall
stones are formed is not yet known.
partly because their existence is so
ephemeral that II Is difficult to make
prolonged and detailed study Of their
peculiarities. To overcome this DIFF
flculty. Boris Weinberg of the Tech
biological institute OF Tomsk has con-
trived method OF preserving hail
stones indefinitely by immersing them
in mixture of equal parts Of bensol
and toluol, which possesses density
nearly equal to that Of the ice. In
this way he has succeeded in keep
ing them intact for many month";.
From these preserved hailstones, with
proper refrigerating precautions. MI
croscopic sections can be made for
examination In the laboratory. and
even magnified projections OF the sec
tions can be thrown upon screen
by means of polarizing microscope
and lantern. Herr Weinberg says
that hailstones can be preserved In
any viscous liquid, like vaseline or
castor oil, whose density very nearly
equals theirs.

PROPER HENS FOR HATcHlNG
Select Those Which Have Proved Good
Mothers and One Which Has just
Commenced to sit.
CBy ELIZABETH PUTNAM.)


II hens are used for Matching, select
where possible, those which have
proved good mothers. AS rule this
maternal ability will prove the same
from year to year, and those which
have deserted or broken eggs careless
ly will in all probability prove unfaith-
full to the end II a hen has already
been broody for week or two, she
may grow tired before the eggs hatch.
Choose preferably one that has just
commenced to sit.
Fill the corners of her box with road
dust or ashes. Lay in heavy sheet
OF paper saturated with kerosene. Add
more dust or ashes, and lastly straw
sprinkled with insect powder. Give
her the eggs at night 1t is sometimes
advisable to throw an old piece Of car
pet over the nest for a day or SO until
she is fully settled.
Keep food, grit, water and dust bath
where she can have access to them
daily. but watch that she does not
leave her nest for more than half an
hour at time unless the weather Is
very warm.
The shipping Of day-old chicks has
come to be quite business. AS they
need not feed for the first As hours
this plan is feasible and those having
no facilities for Matching and yet de-
string well bred chicks are glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity,
the usual price being about ten cents
EACH
The average brooder will safely
handle just about half the number OF
chicks for which 1t is claimed to be
made. Crowding is almost certain to
bring dire results. Be chary OF the
homemade brooder with lantern heat.
There is danger Of asphyxiation unless
it is properly constructed.
Gull out the scrubs and Improbable
members of the flock. Breed up con-
tinually. Feed well and in variety.

INFERTILE EGGS IN DEMAND
Absolutely No Necessity for Keeping
BOOSTERS With Hens After
Breeding Season Is Over.

(By J. a.. HELMREICH, Colorado Tx-
pertinent Station)
There is absolutely no reason for
keeping the male birds with the laying
hens after the breeding season is over.
Some people seem to think that the
rooster has to be with the hens In or
der to get eggs; this is not true. On
the contrary, careful experiments have
proven that o flock Of laying hens will
actually produce more eggs without
the male birds running with them. J
Infertile eggs are always in demand,
for they will stand shipping, keep in
hot weather and bring top prices on
the market. 1t is also mistaken idea
that fertile eggs have to be in an in
cubator before the germ grows and
develops. The growth viii take place,
no matter whether the eggs are in an
incubator, in a hot country store, in a
hot living room, in wagon en- route to
market over hot country road, or ex-
posed to heat in any other manner or
place. Eggs are among the most per-
ishable of all foods A fertile egg kept
in warm room will become unfit for
human food almost as quickly as milk,
because Of the germs developing, while
an infertile egg will keep for two
weeks under the same conditions
which win cause fertile egg to be-
come unfit for human food in twenty
four hours.

Diogenes in his search for an non

who has ever refused to take his sal
