Eggs for Hatching.
To have good eggs for hatching.
either in au incubator or under a
hen, we must first of all have good,
healthy, vigorous stock to produce
the eggs, and to all who contemplate
buying eggs s fa r hatching, I will soy,
Iw fowls M1 "e are au8 kiNa ^ ud t thut out lay just the how eggs, the
anti what condition they are in.
One very vital point is to see that
too many cocks are not kept; espec¬
ially is tills the case where all the
fowls run together, if each has his
own yard and liens it is not so im¬
portant. Where too many cocks run
with the same flock of hens the
eggs are never good for hatching,
for more deformed chicks will be
hatched from such eggs than uny
other kind.
Kxuet rules can not t>e given, of
course, but approximately, the fol
lowing may be considered about the
mtttiug: Leghorn*, Spanish,
, iaiubu uud 0anie> eighteen to
twent hel „ w|tU one good cock, not
less , than fifteen months , old .* for - . best .
results. Plymouth Rocks, ten hens
with one cock. AU the large, heavy,
breeds, including Brahmas and all
the Cochin family, five to eight hens
with one cock.
. To get a first-class hatch eggs must
; he allowed to get dirty; there
is but tittle choice between a wash- j
ed egg and a dirty one, and you are
not sure kind, of a first-class although the hatch washed with j
either
ones, if the washing Is done with
clear water, stand the best chance.
Some claim th|>r* is nothing as
good for a nest clean sharp sand,
for two reasons: it soon cleans lice
off of hens, ami eggs can never get
dirty on clean sand, nothing can;
come off the samf. that will stop the
pores of tne shell.!
Eggs for hatching should always
be carefully gathered twice a day,
and as fast as laid In cold weather;
should be kept in a cool place where
it is neither dry nor damp—that Is,
damp enough to mildew or mold
anything.
Orchid* for Amateur*.
The growers are busily trying,
now- to reverse our long held opin
ion8 as the difficu i t i*s of window
ou j ture for orchids. They name a
score of species that any one may 1
grow . Among them all, says u con -
tributor to American Gardening, *
perhaps none is safer for an initial
attempt with the showy sorts thnu
Coelogyae crista. It is said to be of
very easy growth and is called real¬
ly one of the best winter flowering
orchids, even without reference to
’be amateur. It 1* eery beautiful,
with its white flowers, large, yellow
blotched and created, The clusters
are many flowered, and if the plant
has age the racemes will be very nu- j
nitrous, A pan of tv«o feet in diam

THE INDIANA’S CAPERS.
What may be represented to for
eign governments as the ignonuni
ous failur e of one of the crack ve»
sels of the new navy, receives an ex
planation which navy officers of ex¬
perience regard as satisfactory.. battleship 'Indi
The return of the
ana to Hampton Roads today, after
having been at sea with Admiral
Dunce’s squadron scarcely twenty
four hours, was due to the same tur
rets which got loose in a storm last
fall, when Captain Evans commanded
the ship in evolutions off Long Is
] ;in d. On that occasion the big guns.
projecting from the turrets, swung
hack and forth across the decks and
heeled the ship over on her beam
ends in the sea, and the gravest fears
were felt that the magnificent vessel
would “turn turtle,” as the sailors
express it, and go down with all
hands. Captain Evans hove her to,
,. n d lashed the guns temporarily,
which enabled him to reach port, and
rheti several months were spent at
the navy yard in trying to remedy
the defect.
Captain Evans was succeeded in
command by Captain Taylor, former
ly of the War college, and yesterday
was Captain Taylor’s first experience
for some time in an armored ship
that has earned a reputation for wal¬
lowing, and it is understood that the
long- rollers following the recent
heavy gale made themselves felt on
ti e ship when the fleet got off Hat
teras. if she had not been restricted
to squadron formation, Captain Pay
lor might have headed his course into
the seas, but as the New York, with
her higli freeboard and notable sta
bility, was setting the course, and as
the Indiana could not safely stay
with the fleet, she was permitted to
return. If her turrets had broken
loose off Hatteras the ship might
have been lost.
THE POPE ILL.
The Daily News has received the
following from its correspondent at
Rome: “Despite the statement of
Dr. Laponnis to the contrary, I am
informed that the Pope was found ly
ing on the back of a chair. He was
unconscious when discovered, and
was restored to consciousness onlv
by inhaling ether . The attack is the
gravest that he has suffered during
he past two years, and it is attribut¬
'd to increasing cerebral anaemia.”
A FAST BOAT.
Torpedo boat No. 6, as a prelimi
nary to her official trial, was speeded
,„ e day last week for upwards of au
hour and a quarter, during which she
made eight runs over the government
measured line, and developed a mean
s.i-eed of 2S.T6 knots. Her best speed
over the course for two runs, once
against and once with the tide, gave
the remarkable mean of just 29
knots. During these runs there wa®
tarried a steam pressure of from 205
to 2:;o pounds, but the most of the
time it was about 210 at the engines.
All on board were convinced that the
boat can make even better speed
when the crew are broken in thor
ottghiy. The boat had all her arma¬
ment and fittings on board, with the
proper supply of water and coal, but
carried more persons, aside from her
crew, than she will be expected to on
her official trial. For the unnautical
mind it might be added that this re
markable boat was making just short
of thirty-three statute miles an hour,
and at a gait of a mile in one minute
and fifty-nine and ore-half seconds
for her best speed. The official trial
may take place next week,

Messages were sent to summon rela¬

she received a bad fall and broke one
of her hips. Owing to her advanced
years and weakness from a previous
fall, during the Thanksgiving season,
«she was unable to rally.
The city council has decided to
