Effps That Don't Hatch. , "I have been experimenting latelj on the eggs from certain hens, to find out if there is any great difference in the way they hatch, their vitality, eto., and have been greatly interested in the discoveries. The eggs from the abnormally fat hens seldom hatch. . The chicken usually dies on or about : the twelfth day of incubation. When an egg hatches a day or two in advance of time, one usually concludes that it was quite fresh when put in, but I ' now find that it is the eggs from the active and most healthy hens that break the shells first. f ' .: J . "Five eggs from, a little game hen, which were all over ' five days old, JSeVe- 4he first to- hatch. Invariably the egg fron the sleepy, lazy hen i hatches late. Out of twenty-seven hens whose eggs I experimented with I found two quite sterile. They both lay fine, hrge eggs of good shape and shell, but though I must have tried a dozen of their eggs, not one has ever had a sign of a chicken. I have even mated them with different roost- - ers, but without avail; and, strange to say, they are the worst tempered hens in the yard, always quarreling aud beating the others. 7 Fanciers' Gazette.

Text: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are hon est, whatsoever things are just, whatso ever things aio pure.whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good re port; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise; think on these things." Philip plans, iv., 8. In o'her words, keep your eye open to the good that is in the world and, as far as possible, close it to the evil. David said in his haste, "All men are liars." but he acknowledged that it was a hasty conclusion, and so, presumably, not strictly correct. You, in a similar spirit of impatience, may sometimes be tempted to voice the same opinion. But don't. For, in spite of lies, white and black, polite lies, business lies and malicious lies lies that seem to worm themselves into every cir cumstance of life the world in general hates the lie and loves the truth. This is why you cannot insult a man more deeply than to give him the He. The fnsult is due to the fact that publio opinion demands the truth. Look, then, oa this side of life, instead of allowing your mind to dwell on what is false. No doubt there is much dishonesty in the world dishonesty from the milkman who waters his milk to the railroad magnate who waters his stock. Your calico won't wash, your sugar contains glucose and your pepper sawdust. But never mind, after all people in general are honest and at heart believe that honesty is tne Dest policy." In the main they must act upon that belief, otherwise the wheels of business would stop to-morrow. Think, then, on this bet ter aspect of human life. Somo say that things are very unfair in this world that, for example, the man who steals a loaf of bread goes to jail while the man who steals a million of money at worst goes to Congress. There is doubtless some truth in this view. And yet there is a just God, and though faorae times He may seem a little slow, His grist is, on the whole, a pretty good article of iustice. Remember always that in the ong run, anyway, even in this world, right makes might. Think on this, and don't let the fact that many conditions seem un even and unfair sour your spirit. Again, there are those who look for dirt and find plenty o it. Human life is by no means immaculate, it is true, but none the less the world is full of the purity of in nocent childhood, glorious womanhood and noble manhood. Look upon this side of life the side that lies out in the sun light of God's approval. The pessimist thinks that everything is imperfect. He examines the blade of grass and finds it faulty. It is sure to be split or crushed or stunted or otherwise malformed. He al ways discovers the worm in the heart of the rose or the thorn on the stem. Don't go iu his company. See, rather, the loveli ness scattered over the world with such a lavish hand. Why, as someone has shown us, even the wayside mud puddle, if viewed at the proper angle, i3 a thing of beauty, and rirrors the sky aud reflects in us bosom tne clouds of heaven. Then why give heed to ill report, either? Forget the bad that you hear of your fel lows and remember the good. There is great need of this advice. We are all a little too fond of evil reports. The daily papera, which really only print what the public demands, show this. What is the menu of our breakfast paper? In large measure a plate of violence and robbery, a dish of filth and a bowl of blood. "Give a dog a bad name and that's the end of him." Just so. Well, refuse to think on ill report and you will not repeat it. If you wish to help God and goodness think and speak things of good report Yes, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things, and you will be better and happier. Life is very much as you view it. As the proverb goes, "The jaundiced see all things yellow." The gamin says, "Oh, it's all in your eye." And so it is. Look on the right side of life and not on the wrong side. Life, no doubt, has a seamy side, but be charitable. Don't think on this side. A painting has a face and a back. All the pictures in your par lor, I venture to say, are hung with the face out. Hang your pictures so in the parlor of ycur mind. Look for what is good in the lives of your fellow men and you will be happy. No doubt this is a world of sin and misery, and the back ground of human life is full of shadows. But look at the brightness and seek for the beauty and goodness in God's world. Jesus Christ was able to see something worth loving in the publican and the harlot. Emulate His example and you will And the same result. Then there is another side to this sub ject. If you try to see only the good side of life ycu will help to make the world as you see it. Mark and mention the good in your fellow man and he will seek to rise to the full measure of your esteem. He will be stimulated to deserve your good opinion. Have faith in a man and you will help to make him faithful. When a man does a good deed say a kind act notice it, speak of it, and he will do it again. By following the adviee given in the text you will promote your own happiness and, what is equally important, you will do something toward making the world bet ter. John Dietrich Long, Pastor Presbyterian Church, Babylon, L. I. COMMON SENSE IN RELICION. Dr. Talmaze Advocates Reform In Man agement of Spiritual Affairs. Text: "The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Luke xvi., 8. ' That is another way of saying that Chris tians are not so skillful in the manipulation of spiritual affairs as worldlings are skill ful in the management of temporalities. I see all around me people who are alert, earnest, concentrated and skillful in mone tary matters, who in the affairs of the soul are laggards, inane, inert. The great want of the world is more common sense in mat ters of religion. If one half of the skill and forcefulness employed in financial af fairs was employed in disseminating the truths of Christ and trying to make the world better, within ten years the last Jug gernaut would fall, the last throne of op pression upset, the last iniquity tumble and the anthem that was chanted over Bethle hem on Christmas night would be echoed nd re-echoed from all Nations and kindred and people: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men." In the first place, my friends, we want more common sense in the building and conduct of churches. The idea of ndap tlveness is always paramount in any other kind of structure. If bankers meet to gether, and they resolve upon putting up a bank, the bank is especially adapted to banking purposes; if a manufacturing com pany puts up a building, it is to be adapted to manufacturing purposes; but adaptive ness is not always the question in the rear ing of churches. In many of our churehes we want more light, more room, more ven tilation, more comfort. Vast sums of money are expended on ecclesiastical struc tures, and men sit down in them, and you ask a man how he likes thecburch; be says: I like It very well, but I can't hear." Again I remark: We want more common sense in the obtaining of religious hope. All men understand that in order to suc ceed in worldly directions they must con centrate. They think on that one object, on that one subject, until thoir mind takes fire with the velocity of their own thoughts. All their acumen, all their j strategy, all their wisdom, all their com mon sense they put ia that one direction, and they suooeed. But how seldom it i.i true in the matter of seeking after God! While no man expects to accomplish any thing for this world without concentra tion and enthusiasm, how many are thero expecting after a while to get into the kingdom of God without the use of any such means. Again, I remark; We want more common sense in the building up apd enlarging of our Christian character. There are men who have for forty years been running the Christian race, and they haven't run a quarter of a mile! No business man would be willing to have his, investments unac cumulative. If you invest a dollar you ex pect that dollar to come home bringing an other dollar on its back. What would you think of a man who should" invest $10,000 in a monetary institution, then go off fot five years, make no inquiry In regard to the investment, then come back, step up to the cashier of the institution and say: "Have you kept those $10,000 safely that I lodged with you?" but asking no question about interest or dividend? Why, you say, "That is not oonimon sopso." Neither is it, but thatls the way we act in matters of the soul. We make a far more important in vestment than $10,000. We invest our soul. It is accumulative? Are we growing in grace? Are we getting better? Are we getting worse? God declares many divi dends, but we do not collect them; we do not want them. Oh, that in this matter of accumulation we were as wise ia the mat ters of the soul as we are in the matters of the world! How little common sense in the reading of the Scriptures! We get any other book, and we open it, and we say, "Now what does this book mean to teach me? It is a book on astronomy; it will teach me as tronomy. It is a book on political econ omy; it will teach me political economy. Taking up this Bible, do we ask ourselves what it means to teach? It means to do just one thing, get the world converted and get us all to heaven. That is what it pro poses to do. But instead of that we go into the Bible as botanists to pick flowers, or we go as pugilists to get something to fight other Christians with, or we go as logicians trying to sharpen our mental faculties for a better argument, and we do not like this about the Bible and we do not like that, and we do not like the other thing. How little we use common sense in prayer! We say, "Oh, Lord, give me this," and "Oh, Lord, give rne that." and "Oh, Lord, give me something else," and we do not expect to get it, or getting it, we do not know we have it. We have no anxiety about it. We do not watch and wait for its coming. As a merchant, you telegraph or you write to some other city for a bill of goods. You say, "Send me by such ex press, or by such a steamer, or by such a rail-train." The day arrives. You send your wagon to the depot or to the wharf. The goods do not come. You immediately telegraph, "What is the matter with those goods? We haven't received them. Send them right away. We want them now, 01 we don't want them at all." And you keep writing, and you keep telegraphing, and keep sending your wagon to the depot, or to the express office, or to the wharf, until you get the goods. In matters ol religion we are not so wise as that. W ask certain things to be sent from heaven. We do not know whether they come or not. We have not any special anxiety as to whether they oome or not. We may get them and we may not get them. Instead oi at 7 o'clock in the morning saying, "Have I got that blessing?" at 12 o'clock, noon day, asking, "Havo I got that blessing?" at 7 o'clock in the evening saying. "Have I received that blessing?" and not getting It, pleading, pleading begging, begging asking, asking until you get it. Now, my brethren, is not that common sense? If we ask a thing from God, who has sworn by His eternal throne that He will do that which we ask, is it not common sense that we should watch and wait until we get it? But I remark ngainWe want more com mon sense in doing good. Oh, how many people there are who want to do good, and they are dead failures! Why is it? They do not exercise the same tact, the same in gsnuity, the same strategam, the same common sense in the work of Christ that they do in worldly things. Otherwise they would succeed in this direction as well as they succeed in the other. There are many men who have an arrogant way with them, although they may not feel arrogant in their soul. Or they have a patronizing way. They talk to a man of the world in a manner which seems to say: "Don't you wish you were as good as I am? Why, I have to look clear down before I can see you, you are so far beneath me." That manner always disgusts, always drives men from the kingdom of Jesus Christ, in stead of bringing them in. Suppose some business man in whose skill you had perfect confidence should tell you that to-morrow, Monday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, you could by a certain financial transaction make $5000, but that on Tnesday perhaps you might make it, but there would not be any posi tiveness about it, and on Wednesday there would not be so much, and Thursday less, Friday less, and so on less and lees when would you attend to the matter? Why, your common sense would dictate, "Imme diately, I will attend to that matter, be tween 11 and 12 o'clock to-morrow, Mon day morning, for then I can surely ac complish it, but on Tuesday I may not, aud on Wednesday there is less prospect and less and less, and I will attend to it to-morrow. Now, let us bring our common sense in this matter of religion. Here are the hopes of the Gospel. We may get them now. To morrow we may get them. Next day we may and we may not. The prospect less and less and less and less. The only sure time now now. I would not talk to you in this way if I did not know that Christ was able to save all the people. I would not go into a hospital and tear off the bandages from the wounds if I had no balm to apply. I would not have the face to tell a man he is a sinner unless I had at the same time the authority for saying he may be saved. "Mamma," said a little child to her mother, when she was being put to bed at nlgbt, "mamma, what makes your hand so scarred and twisted and unlike other peo ple's hands?" "Well," said the mother, "my child, when you were yotinger than you are now, years ago, one night after I had put you to bed I heard a cry, a shriek, upstairs. I came up and found the bed was on fire, and you wero on fire, and I took hold of you and tore off the burning garments, and while I was tearing them off and trying to get you away I burned my hand, and It has been scarred and twisted ever since, and hardly looks any more like a hand; but I got that, my child, in trying to save you." O man! O woman! I wish to-day I could show you tho burned hand of Christ burned in plucking you out of the Are, burned in snatching you away from the flame. Ay, also the burned foot and the burned brow and the burned heart burned for you. "By His stripes ye are healed." RICH YIELD OF SALMON ECCS.

"On every hand one hears of the neg lect to say 'thank you,' " writes Ed ward W. Bok on "The Saying 'of Thank You,' " In tho Ladies' Home Journal. "I wonder sometimes if some people really know how little of what comes to them is their due and right, and how much of what comes to them Is by favor and courtesy. The vast majority of things which come to us, come by pure favor, by courtesy. And we should recognize this. No act of kindness, however slight, should go un noticed. A 'thank you' is a simple thing to say; it requires but a few mo ments to write it, but It often means much; it means everything sometimes to the person receiving It. It means a renewed faith in human nature in some cases. A word of thanks Is never, lost, never wasted. If it sometimes seems to be lost upon the person to whom It Is directed, its expression has not been lost upon some one else who has heard It. It is certainly not lost upon ourselves. The most of us are quick enough to thank some one who does us great service. But the small courtesy, Just as great as the large ser vice in reality, we overlook. It doesn't seem worth while to give thanks for small things. And yet what would we be to-day, and where would some of us be but for the small courtesies of life? They are what make life worth living. " It Is all very well to have the last Thursday of each November set apart as a day of Thanksgiving. But It would be far better if a great many of us carried the spirit of the day Into all the other days. Perhaps, if we did so we might have more mercies to be thankful for on Thanksgiving day. Do not let the spirit of thanks stop with nightfall on Thanksgiving day. Let us extend it to all the other days of the year, to the people whose lives touch ours. When we receive a favor at the hands of any one, no mat ter how small it may be, let us say the words, 'Thank you.' ' If they should be written let us write them. Let us not delay them, but take advantage of the Instant when our heart is touched. Let there be more 'thank yous said by ev erybodythousands of them. And the world will be a better, brighter and happier place to live in because of them." Bloody Battles. More lives were lost in the battle of Leipslc than at any other. It took place Oct. 1(. IS and 19, 1813, between the French and tho Austrians, Prus sians and Russians. The French were 160,000 strong, the allies 240,000. More than 80,000 men perished, and the irench were defeated. Such losses throw into the shade the losses of the American war. At Gettysburg 39,000 were killed and wounded; at Chicka mauga, 28,000. In the battles of the Wilderness G.7SS men were killed and at Spottsylvania 0,296. In the final at tack on Kara, during the Russo-Turk-ish war of 1877-8, 8,000 men fell. The losses In the attacks on the Shipka pass amounted to about 20,000 men, and before Plevna some 30,000 men perished. Marius victory over the Cimbri and Teutones at Varcellae, B.

There is a kind of blunt, rude trav eler that well deserves such a reproof as is mentioned In the Golden Penny: A party of English visitors were be ing shown round a famous Scotch ab bey, and one of them said to the guide, "Now, old fellow, we don't want any of your cock-and-bull stories about thla place! Tell us what you are sure is true." . Ay, sir!" quietly replied the guide, and he walked on in silence. lie led the party through the abbey, and said, "Ye've seen the old abbey." "Yes," said the Englishman. "Can't you tell us anything about it?" "The exact truth," returned the Scot, "is that the abbey is old,' and I canna swear to any more aboot it," and he left them.

It was a vexed question in 1890 whether the Piloomayo River, which flows for hundreds of miles from the Bolivian Andes to the Paraguay, might be used as a commercial high way from Bolivia to the ocean, says a writer in Harper's Round Table. Our countryman, Captain 'Page, settled this question so conclusively that no further effort to utilize the Piloomayo is likely to be made; and in this work, that cost him his life, for he died of his privations after being hemmed in for months by hostile Indians, ho de vised a plan for steaming up river when the water was so low that his vessel was stuck in the mnd. He was determined to go still further, though his little steamer, which drew only eighteen inches, rested on the river bottom; so behind the boat he threw np an embankment of earth olear aoross the ohannel, backed it with palm trunks and brushwood and be fore long the water had risen a oouple of feet and the little Bolivia was able to go on her way four miles before she stuck again. Then another dam was built, and this prooess was repeated seven times, and with the aid of the dams the vessel advanoed about thirty-five miles above the highest point she oould reach at the natural low water stage. Popular Justice In Bavaria. A debate in the Bavarian Diet re cently shows that in some parts of Bavaria a kind of popular justice, a relio of the Middle Ages, is still exer cised by the people in the case of offences which dp not fall within the pale of the ordinary law, such as usu ry, flagrant immorality, arbitrary con duct of officials, and the like. This method of procedure, whioh is called "Haberfeld-treiben," is practised by people who assemble with blackened or masked faces before the offender's house, and there create a horrible din, howling, firing rifles, and beating pots and kettles. Then a mock sermon, in doggerel verse setting forth the offence of the person concerned is re cited in the hearing of the misde meanant. Neither person nor property is, however, injured.

The kiss, we are told, was a formula of good will among the ancient Romans and was adopted by the early Christians, whose "holy kiss" and "kiss of charity" carried the weight of apostolic sanction. - Kisses admit of a great variety of character and there are eight diversi ties mentioned in the Scripture. It is . a sign of reverence and in order to set a sacred seal upon their vows the t witnesses in a court of law, when they are .called upon to speak "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," are required to touch the Bible with their lips, as also are soldiers when they enlist and make the oath of allegiance to Queen Vic toria. Men in uncivilized regions kiss the feet of a superior or the ground in front of him, and in ancient times to press the lips to the knee or the hfem of a garment was to humbly implora protection. The Maoris have adopted the custom of kissing, but the natives of West Africa refuse to do so, and ap parently that which is a medium of so much pleasure to many nations fills them with dislike. The pleasant old ChriBtmas custom of a kiss under the mistletoe is a relio of Norse mythology. Baldur, the beautiful god of light, was slain by a spear whose shaft was a mistletoe -twig. This was bewitohed by Loki, the malevolent god of fire, until it swelled to the requisite size and was given by him to Hodur, who threw it and unintentionally struck Baldur when the gods wre at play. Frig had made everything in heaven and earth swear not to harm Baldur, but had left out the mistletoe as being too slight and weak to be of harm. . Bal dur, however, was restored to life aKd the gods determined should again have power to do any mischief unless it touched the earth. For this reason it is always hung from the ceil ing and therigilant goddess propitiat ed by the kiss, a sign of good will.--Chicago News. Largest Leaves in the World.
