will make night work of it.' "
But Mr, ;Lobb himself was humane
Sn the pulpit as compared to a certain
hIr. Thomas Boston, to whose sermons
Sir Archibald Geckle has drawn atten-
tion in his "Scottish Reniluiseences,"
EIr. Thomas Boston, who wrote a book
called "Primitiae et UltIma," was min-
ister of the gospel at Ettrick. In a ser-
mon on "`Dear and Hope, Objects of
the Divine Complacency," from the
text Psalm exlvii, 11, '"The Lord tak-
th pleasure in them that Rear. him and
in those that hope in his mercy," Mr.
Boston, "after an introduction in four
sections, deduced six doctrines, each
subdivided into from three to eight
treads, but the last doctrine required
another sermon which contained 'a
practical improvement of the whole,'
arranged under eighty-six heads. A
sermon ori Matthew xi, 28, was subdi-
vided into seventy-six heads.' " On this
text, indeed, Mr. Boston preached four
such sermons.
It is more than doubtful whether any
brains or hearts south of the Tweed
could have stood the strain of such
discourses. But a Scotch preacher,
not in the present degenerate age, has
been known to preach from five to six
hours at a stretch, and sometimes
when one preacher had finished bis
sermon another would begin and there
would be a succession of preachers
deIF ering sermon upon sermon until
the unhappy congregations were kept
listening to "the word" for as many
as ten hours without r break—Bishog

Chatham Incubator
Poultry raising with a Chatham
Incubator is a very profitable and
easily managed occupation. Unless
you want to go into it extensively it
need take but very little of your time.
Government reports show that the
demand for chickens in Canada is
greatly in excess of the supply and
Great Britain is always clamoring
for more. That means a steady
market and good prices for chickens.
You cannot raise chickens success-
fully with a setting hen. She is wast-
ing time setting when she should be
laying. While she is hatching and
brooding a few chickens she could be
laying five or six dozen eggs. The
percentage of chickens she hatches is
much less than that produced by the
Chatham Incubator.
It will pay you to own a Chatham
Incubator.
Chatham Incubators contain every
improvement of importance in Incu-
bator construction that has been pro-
duced. They are made of thoroughly
seasoned wood, with two walls, case
within case. Between these walls
mineral wool is packed forming the
very best insulation. Each piece of
the case is mortised and grooved and
screwed, making the whole as solid
as a rock. Chatham Incubators are
equipped with scientifically perfect
regulators which are an infallible
means of regulating the temperature.
No cash to pay until
October, 1905.
We will start you raising poultry
for profit with a Chatham Incubator
without one cent of money from you
until next Fall, That means that you
can take off seven or eight hatches
and make considerable mCney out of
the Incubator before the first payment
becomes due.
We couldn't make this offer if we
were not certain that if you accept it
you will get complete satisfaction, if
we were not positive that the Chatham
Incubator will pay you a handsome
yearly income.
This is a straightforward offer. We
make it to show our supreme confi-
dence in the Chatham Incubator. W'e
want you to accept this offer as we
are sure of the satisfaction our ln.u-
bator will give. Every machine sve
have put out so far has made other
sales in the same neighborhood
Cur offer is to send you a Chatham
incubator at once, freight prepaid by
us without one cent of cash from you.
You make your first payment in
October, 1905. The balance to be raid
in October, 1906, or if a Cash B1, e,Pr
you get it cheaper,' Could any offer
be fairer or more generous?

The average hobo will not likely
choose Walkerton jail for his wintor
quarters, as the bill of fare would not
be to his taste. The average cost per
diem of maintaining the inmates of this
high-olass boarding house is a fraction
over five cents. Think of trying to
satisfy the hunger of a robust tramp
three times a day for a total of five cents;
why, it would not keep him stuffed with
baled hay.

pater Way of Doing It That Ie Said to
Cite ra.t 110Mpon.ibts tty,
"I have a customer who thinks he
$mokea twenty cigars a day," said a
downtown dealer, "As a matter et
tact, he gives away many of them and
throws away some that are only partly
eonsunled. However, be 1a firm in the
belief that be smokes more actual to-
becco than any man In New York, and
a boast on the subject in Any store
Yesterday led to a curious bet,
"He declared, to begin with, that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars fa
hail an hour, A bystander remarked'
that no elan alive Could smoke evert
one cigar continuously until it wait
consumed without taking it from hie
lips, 'Bosh!' said my man. `I do that
right along and think nothing of it.'
"'I'll bet you a box of perfectos you
can't do it right now,' said the other,
and in half a minute the wager was
made. By its terms the cigar was to
be consumed in steady consecutive
puffs and not removed from the lips
until burned to a mark one and a half
inches from the tip. ,A. clear Havana
Colorado Madura was selected for the
test, and the smoker took a seat and
began.
"He puffed like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated some-
thing under half an inch of ash, and
then he began to wabble. Ile shifted
the cigar from aide to side, pulled
slow and fast and seemed to have
difficulty getting Itis breath between
the draws. At any rate, he kept turn-
ing his head to avoid the smoke and
laughing, could
finally got to aug g, I see
he was in torture, but be stuck to it
until he got withiu half an inch of the
mark.. Then he jumped up suddenly,
threw the cigar away and walked out
of the shop.
"I paid the bet and charged it to his
account, and he told me last evening
that the very idea of tobacco made bim
sick, I doubt whetber it would be
possible for anybody to smoke Leven a
moderately strong cigar through in
the manner I have described."
WORST KIND OF POVERTY.
A Dian May Have Plenty of Wiener
and Yet Be Very Poor.
Muck of what is called success is but
the most vulgar kind of prosperity; it
is the success of the brute faculties at
the expense of the divine. To develop
a few of one's brain cells, and these
the lowest, by everlasting digging and
grinding for money, to cultivate one
huge gland which secretes nothing but
dollars and the exclusive cultivation
of which crushes out of life all the
finer sentiments, alt that is sweet and
beautiful and worth while, makes a
man as dry and barren as the great
Sahara desert. He who follows this
course cannot be rich, no matter how
much money. he may have. A man is
rick when every fatuity within him
has followed his highest ideals, when
he has pushed his. horizon to its far-
thermost limit.
A. man is poor when he has Lost con-
fidence of his friends, when people who
are nearest to him do not believe in
him, when his character is honeycomb-
ed by deceit, punctured by dishonesty.
He is poor when he makes money at
the expense of his character, when
' principle does not stand clear cut, su-
preme in his idea. When this is cloud-
ed he is in danger of the worst loud
of poverty. To be in the poorhouse
is not necessarily to be poor. If you
have maintained your integrity, if your
character stands foursquare to the
world, if you have never bent the knee
of principle to avarice, you are not
poor, though you may he compelled to
beg bread.—Orison Swett Marden. in
Success.
Struggling With the Language,.
A story is told of a German teacher
at an American girls' college who was
Rot thoroughly acquainted with the
English language and the college slang
had not helped her in solving the puz-
zle. She had heard the girls talk about
going off on larks, Returning one day
from a picnic she said to some of -tire
girls, "Oh, I have been on such a cana-
ry." She startled her class one day by
complaining against some of the cold
days of September, saying, "Why, it
was so cold one day I had to stay in
my room all the morning and sit with
my feet over the transom trying to
keep warren."
Salvation With Food.
Fourteen -year-old Emma, who had
come home from her first day's school-
ing In elementary physiology, was
questioned by her parents as to what
site had learned.
"Papa," site complained, "I don't
think I like physiology.'
"Why not, my dear?"
"Well, teacher was explaining diges-
tion to us today, and she said we had
to mix salvation with every mouthful
of food."
Mut Ile Meant Well.
The good man was comforting the
stricken widow,
"')o not grieve, sister," said he.
"

And the good man wondered why
she refused to be longet comforted by
him.

Many classes of men Who do much
walking, such as Indians, guides and
trappers, walk with their bodies in-
clined forward a little bit. But they
don't round their shoulders or stoop
their heads. They beeline forward
from the hips. This throws their
weight a little ahead and gives the leg
muscles the chance to exert all their
power in the best directions. But the
upper body is never bent by these men.
It simply is held forward from the
hips at a very slight, barely percepti-
ble, angle.
Even if correct poise in walking had
nothing to do with other forms of
athletics it would be invaluable in it-
self. The matt who walks right is go-
ing to keep his organs—heart, kidneys,
liver and lungs—in splendid form. But,
besides all this, it helps wonderfully
itt all outdoor sports.

Immediately after killing some one,
however, the murderer must undergo
six days of "purification," which are
marked by various uncanny rites. He
first washes himself and bis weapon
and seats himself upon a stage in the
sight of the whole town, but neverthe-
less unnoticed by all. During this time
he must eat nothing except roasted ba-
nanas, the pulp of which he bites out
and the rest he throws away. On the
third day he has so far purified him-
self that his friends entertain him at a
