Then the cat on the fence. Re

A fellow fishing. Always picture
him pulling up an old boot.

SHIPPING DAY OLD CHICKS.
A. They Need No Water Nor Food For
Sixty Hours IL ls Easy.


When little chicks come from the
shell they need neither water nor food
for sixty hours. That fact has given
rise to a new business. Day old chicks
are sold and shipped by people who
operate incubators. Those who buy are
relieved Of the trouble, Of the incon-
~venience, and to some extent Of the
uncertainty of Matching. Only a small
percentage Of day old chicks perish
while on the way from shipper to s
toner. People are thus enabled to get
the little chicks and begin the poultry
business without the necessity OF pur-
chasing an incubator.
Special boxes of ~pasteboard are made
for shipping purposes. Some have a
capacity Of twenty-five chicks, some OF
fifty and some of 100. It is doubtless
best that no more than twenty-five
shall In any case occupy a single COM
partment. The walls of the boxes are
moderately thick, and some soft ma
terial as grass Is put In the bottom.
Otherwise there are no especial provi-
sions against cold weather. However.
the chicks themselves may be depended
upon to cluster together and in this
way keep one another warm.
The boxes are not to be opened en-
route nor are the chicks to be given
food or water. Successful shipments
have been made for 1000 miles.-Popu'
lar Science Monthly.

Don't Use Rhubarb Leaves

Because rhubarb leaves contain
certain substances which make them
poisonous to a great many persons,
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture warn house
wives against using this portion of
the plant for food. A number of
letters have been received by the de-
partment calling attention to the
fact that certain newspapers and
magazines are advocating the use of
rhubarb leaves for greens, and that
disastrous results have followed the
acceptance of the advice.

Tanned Skin.

In the majority Of cases tanned skin
is an indication Of health. 1t is a con-
dition resulting from the action Of
chemical rays or Of the ultra violet
rays of the sun on the pigment of the
skin. Tan may be produced also by
exposure to the rays Of a mercury
lamp or it may be caused electrically.
But in these cases it is no indication
of the state of health. 1t does not
mean that there has been a multiple
cation of red corpuscles in the blood,
such as follows healthful exercise In
the open air. The tan acquired by the
skin at sea or ashore as a result of life
and exercise in the open air is always
a sign of health, for the reason that 1t
is accompanied by general conditions
that do not obtain in the case Of cleo
trio tan.-New York Times.

BOILED THEM TO DEATH.
How Poisoners Were Punished In the
Good Old Days.

Good Old Days.
Our f~orefathers deemed hanging too
good for people who went about DELHI
erately poisoning other people. They
substituted for hat punishment boil
ing to death, the first 10 suffer this
penalty being Richard Rose, cook to
the bishop Of Rochester In the reign Of
Henry VIII.
In medieval times In Europe poison
ers when detected were usually broken
alive upon the wheel after having first
been given a taste of the rack while III
prison awaiting execution as a sort of
gentle reminder of what they bad pres
emily got to go through.
For wholesale prisoners. however.
even this dreadful death was no
deemed sufficiently painful. and new
and special modes of punishment were
invented. Thus Louise Mabre, a Pari
sian baby farmer, who in 1903 was
proved to have done to death no fewer
than sixty-two infants by administer
ing to them carefully graduated doses
Of white arsenic mingled with pow
dered glass, was sentenced to be shut
ND In an iron cage with sixteen wild
cats and suspended over a slow fire.
This was done, with the result that
when the cats became Infatuated with
heat and pain they turned their rage
upon her land after thirty-iye min
utes of the most horrible sufferings put
an and RI hor oxfstanco tho whole of
the cats dying at the same time or
within a few minutes after."-London
