Hng up and feeling around in the air. I
'am going to give them some fishing
poles fifteen loot long. They remind
'me of Jack and his iiean vine, my
children and grandchildren never tire
of that good old story. How a poor
[i widow had a little boy named .lack who
' was good to Irs mother, and ono day
Jack saw an old giant coming. His
i head was as big as a small barrel, his
) yes as big as saucers, his nose as big
as my arm, h.'j mouth like the end of a
big stove pipe and his teeth like iron
spoons, lie came up the road snorting
like a horse, and was singing,
" 1 Binoll tho blood of an Englishman;
Alive or dead I must have some."
.lack ran in the house to bis mother
and sho pulled up a plank in the floor
and dropped Jack down In tho cellar
and put the plank hack, and moved her
chair and table on it, and aat down and
went to knitting. Here came the old
Mtf^'uilin:: and blowing like a steam
.^BLr J.lident eat anything but liulcr
bovbV^V he peeped in at the door and
Bafd.^-r1!?? hungry and I'm hunting for
& boy." Jack?? mother told him she
dideni have any boy for him and to go
off, or Bhe would set her big dog on him.
Then ho walked all round the house
and looked down the chimney, for ho
was as high as a tree, hut he couldent
Qnd .lack. When he went away and
was out of sight, .lack's mother took up
the plank, and reaching her hand down
uhe pulled Jack OUt of the cellar. Soon
after this a poor old woman came along
and begged for sonieth'ng to eat, and
Jack and bis mother Iix d her uo a
good dinner and some oolTeo, ami the
poor woman was so thankful that ftho
gave Jack a bean and told him to plant
it and it would grow as high as thot-Ky
and have bushels and bushels of beans,
and tho vine would grow as high as a
tree in one night. So Jack planted it
right away, and next morning he went
out to see it, and tho top of it was away
up yonder and he could hoe it glowing
higher and higher. So ho thought it
would be fun to climb it, and the stems
of the loaves were strong enough to
hold him up like a ladder, and he kept
on climbing and the bean vino kept on
growing ho fast that .lack COUldotit
catch up with It, and by and by ho got
bo high he couldent see the ground and
before long ho got up to the clouds und
b topped elf on tliA hint Moor of tho sky,
and looking around at tho beautiful
country he saw a grout line house that
was built of stone. So he walked ever
to it and dldout seo anybody?not a

his mouth and hi-, face was greasy und
bloody, for bo had been eating home

snoring uhoek the house. Jack was
awfully seared, and started to run, but
he saw an ax near the door, and he

Dlreetor of tho Census Merrhon has

tllO information of the piioiic :
"Thecousus ollice is now in receipt
of many lottors daily asking for Infor
I niatiou its lo the rot.nils of the census
in particular localities, eepeolally In

to occur to the wrltors tea', tho census

that the schedules liavo to bo examined

The following statement has boon
prepared, show lug what tiis to ho done
with the census returns wtien rOCOived
at Washington, and why it must be
weeks or even months before tho
figures can ho given out in their en
tirety.
Kvory enumerator is required to (lie

hours and minutes tic has been at work,
! and how many porsous tie has ouutnoi*

I the consus tho number of daily repel
cards to be examined In the uonsus
ollice is some whore between one million
I and a million and a half. Il Is ditlloult
I for any one not famtlar with ocu&us
! work to form an Ideaol tho vast amount
i of material to bo handled in all of the
! divisions of the uflloo. The number of
boxes containing schedules soul to the
I enumerators In advance of taking ttio
oensus was 1,500 and their total weight
was estimated at 1100 tons. Ail of mi-,
material is returned to Washington,
where It has to bo soriod oat and ar
ranged lu order by Stale:, und sub
division-, of States upon shelving ag
gregating several miles in length.
There is involc of schedules hi ? v. ry
hox r? eoived wnich lias to bo verified.
Next lu order follows the examina
tion in detail of the schedules. lOvery
I schedule has to be ox -.mined In order
to see that the eoumorater lois not
made an ovoroharge for his sorvlcos.
for this purpose thesohoduln ha* to be

?tion Lord Ulberts, the hero of
Kandahar, who wears tho Victoria
cross for gallantry in lite Held, is afraid
of cats. If the fate of the Kmplre de
pended ou it "Bobs" could not stroke
the fur of a cat. A fow thousand
domestic cats scattered over tho veldt
would drive the commander-in-ohief of
the British forces out of South Africa.
A single cat hurled into his loot might
demoralize tho finest plan* for a battle
or a march. It is not likely that the
Boers will be able to take military ad
vantage of Lord Roberta's weakness,
for be is well guarded, and tho most
patriotic Transvaal cat could not
approach his tent without being .-hot.
So Boor sympathizers will gain nothlug
by forwarding their household nets as
munitions of war to President Krugor.
?The Kcv. A. S. Unhurt, I) I)., has
given notice of bis proposed resigna
tion of the pastorato of the first Bap
tist Church, Vonkers, N V.. for tho
purpose of entering upon the professor
ship of Kngllsh Bible Interpretation,
to which ho ban recently been called,
in the Cro/.cr Theological Seminary.
Dr. Ilobutt is known lo have some.
positive views with regard to New
Testament interpretation and as to the
value of tho Ittagllsh B ble as a text
book in preparation for the ministry.
When a man tails headlong from a
root, we think only of the hazardous
character of his employment.
does not occur to us that
thousands of men at sea or on
laud me hourly climbing to
/> heights without a fear
and without a fall, and that
the real danger is not in Un
employment but in the
weakening of the nerve?
and giving way of the mus
cles. That danger is just
as great to Oie man on
the sidewalk or in the
\ N office as to the man
pott the roof. When
"?2s the stomach and the
1 I organs of digestion
and nutrition are dis
eased the blood becomes impoverished,
and nerves ami muscles grow weak for
lack of nutrition. More fatal diseases
probably begin with "weak stomach"
than with any other cause. The first
symptom of disordered stomach calls for
prompt use of |)r. Piercc's Golden Med
ical Discovery, It is a vegetable medi
cine, absolutely nou alcoholic and noil
nan-otic,and is uucqtiuled for the strength
it gives to hl.I, llerVOS and muscles.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Jha?rs the
TUE MEN AND IIEE NEST. '
The OXprC84ion "Don't know en
ough to set a hon,*' though used in '
liorisiOU, points to a task that is not
fully understood. For years we had
our journals full of the question of
moisture lot our incubators -too tnueh
moisture or too little moisture; thou the
moisture gauge to grade the supply; un
til Home- wise head discovered that the
hen which hid her nest in the hay-mow
brought forth (pule as many chickens
us her sister that lud her nest on tho 1
ground under the !>;itn. So It was con
cluded that the moisture must come
from the air, and to-day we have the
most successful non-moisture machine.
There is one other fact to be learned
Crom the hidden nest: Usually the
lien will lay not to exceed four eggs
per week; she hides her nest and lays
OUt her litter or supply as may be,
from twelve to sixteen eggs. I have
sen tho hidden nest produce seventeen 1
Chicks, allowing four eggs per week;,
sonic of these eggs were four weeks
old wheu incubation bogan, showing
how the vitality will last under natural
treatment of the hen. Hut, under the
best, some of them were full three
weeks old when incubation began.
Here is a lesson as to bow long the
vitality will last prior to incubation.
To test this fact, I last season had a
basket ol' IJ3 Leghorn eggs sent me;
without unpacking I placed them in
the cellar, where, they stayed not dis
turbed or Viirued for four weeks; they
were placed under a hen ami produced
eight or tou chicks.
'Iheso questions cannot be theorized
Oil; prior to Ibis test 1 held to the
opinion, that Dgg8 three weeks old
would be absolutely certain not to
hatch. The question of the hidden
nest led to the other test, the result of
which will prompt me to go farther
with the. experiment this season. It
may bo thai, nuolbor trial will prove
less successful; then again, I will he
uncertain. At this time 1 believe there
is difference in tl>e. length of the vital!
ty 01 the CggS from different llneks.
Strong, vigorous fowls will give more
lasting vitality than over kepi ami
pampered ones.
When the hen selects her nest to
hide away her eggs, she invariable
chooses ?nie with solid I'oundntior so
that the eggs may h?; guaranteed from
beneath from climate ( Inniges. The
turkey or guinea hen, wilder by nature,
usually selects s.ouic secluded spot on
tier ground that has some natural pro
lection. in thus selecting, I lit y have
help from the natural surroundings to
hold the regular heat from their bodies
within the nest. Sonic toll us that the
natural moisture from the ground helps
in the progress of ineiih.ition. 'This I
do not deny. Hut, if true, why should
the hen in the lop of a hay mow do
equally well ? i'igoon eggs hatch well
in the very warmest weather in the dry,
hoi upper loit of a barn. If tho
ground is necessary tor success, why
those two differences, as we see Hu m ?
Tho question evidently has not vet
been settled.
We know that good results come
from our incubators, if a regular ami
I oven heal of tin; proper temperature is
j maintained. We also know that ii al
! lowed lo ( hill, the result is had. The
j incubator, we know, will hatch every
' good fertile or hatchablo egg, providing
. the proper degree of heal is maintain
ed. We also know that at tunes the
hen docs not hatch all of the so-called
hatchablo eggs. Chicks dead m the
shell arc quite a common occurrence
with tho lien. There must he some
good reason for this.
Providing wo ccccpt Iho l.hoory of
Hit; hidden nost, we I'col assured that
eggs throe weeks old should hatch
reasonably well. Tin: moisture or no
moisture question being settled as to
the incubator, we should not hesitate
to accept tho proposition that the
nest hidden away in tin' mow must
gain its moisture from the air, which
docs away with the necessity of making
the nest on the ground. Alter due.
consideration pi' these fads, 1 am led
to believe that we must lind sonic
other reason why O^gS that should
hatch under a hen, do not hatch. Wo
must try some new explanation that
may had us to discover the cause of
the doad-in-thu-sholi chicks under the
hen.
The m??t natural conclusion seems
that they had been chilled in the Shell;
so we had belter consider this problem
as a factor. When the nest is on the
ground and becomes dry, as it will, no
cold will be likely to injure the eggs,
lor the temperature is usually regular
in the ground. When the nest is in
the mow, the body of hay or straw
surrounding the nest prevents chilling
from beneath. l?ut when a nest of
hay or straw of slight depth or thick
ness is made in II box, the changes of
the weather have full tuving about the
nest, giving the often severe changes,
from day to day, a chance to change
the close surroundings from 20 degrees,
often to 10 degrees, within 2<l hours.
When the foundation ami surround
ings of the nest arc of eullicicnt thick'
ness |o hold the, heal as against these
changes, the even temperature will be
maintained. Hut when only an inch
or two is between the underside of the
eggs and the lice circulation of the
changeable atmosphere, why may not
this poor protection from beneath
cause the eggs to chill, and thus end
the life of the chick in the shell ? We
have paid great attention to these other
explanations and still the unnatural
trouble continues. May it not be
quite possible that our liestCOIISlUCtioil
is at fault, and hence the bad results?
Many ways of building iichih are
presented for consideration. The
most simple atul successful is, to use
a Hour or sugar barrel in one of these
ways. The barrel may be cut in two,
forming t wo good-sized til 1)8, If these
arc partly IIHod with earth am) a good,
deep nest of hay or straw is packed on
same, till the tub is at least Ihroc-quni t
crs full, a good, deep, warm nest is
formed, Which will resist all ( hangen.
Or the barrel may be laid on its side
ami a nest built within, filling quite
half of the inside of the barrel, thus
forming a thick warm nest, which
should hold tin; temperature.
Small contracted nests made in
boxes quite loo small lor comfort, de
prive the lieu of proper room to shift and
turn her eggs. A nest so confined lias
no density lor storing the warmth ho
lUUCh needed for the eggs. There is
no danger of the hen producing any
excess of heat that can be wasted. For
this roason, her nest should be con
structed in a fashion that, is most likely
to assist her labor of incubating. If
we considered these small matters
which seem quite rci sonahlc, many of
those who look with lisappointmeiit at
a nest of non-prod ictive eggs would
have instead a broo.l of living chicks.
