tho door with a trigger held In place
by another Y shaped stick. Tho trig

"I've caught six rabbits this wlntor,"
says a boy living near tho city of
Chicago. "I ate one Christmas day,
but tho other five I'm keeping for pots.

"I have four trapB set, ono a double

times tho trap is sprung olthor by tho
wind or by birds lighting on tho cross
bar. It's tough to find tho door down
and nothing Inside.

had a funny time one ni6rnlng while
making the rounds' of my traps. In
Dno I found the door down and thought
I had a rabbit. I ralBed tho door cnu
tlously and wob just going to stick my

rabbit, but somo other big' and woolly
animal. I was scared and rushed back
for ray father. It didn't tnko him long
to discover that I had trapped an opos

about sticking my bare head Into tho

for tholr paths along a fonco or ravine

Tho boy camo into tho bank and

"Wo don't recolvo deposits of less

Tho boy ylolded reluctantly to tho

OW TO MANUFACTURE PAPER
Some Interesting Facts as to Its Origin
and Materials It Is Made of
Its Many Uses.
Wo dorlvo tho word papor from tho
Latin papyrus, tho nnmo of an Egyp
tlan plant, from which tho ancients
mado a very" dcslrablo material for
writing. Almost ovory Bpcclcs of
tough, QbrouB vegetable has at ono
time or another been employed In tho
manufacture of paper. Even tho roots
and tho bnrk of tro6s, stnlks of tho
ncttlo, tho common thlstlo, tho stem
of tho hollyhock, hay, straw, cabbago
stalkB, willow, sawdust and wood shav
ings bavo all been used.
In tho library of tbo British Mu
scum thoro Is a book, printed In low
Dutch, that contains no less than fifty
eight specimens of papor, all mado of
entirely dlfforont materials, tho rosult
of ono man's oxporimonts as far back
as 1772.
Whatever tho material used, tho pa
per making process is tho samo: Tho
rags, bark or flbros must first bo
mado Into a smooth pulp, tho pulp Is
put into tho paper machine, and In a
short tlmo is converted Into paper.
Tho so-called rice papor of tho Chi
nose is not mado of rlco. Tho namo
Is a misnomer that originated in a
mistake. Rlco paper Is really tho pith
of a water-plant known to botanists as
tho aralla papyrlfera. The plant
grows, usually, to a height of twenty
five fcot. By means of a long, thin,
very sharp knlfo, tho pith is cut
around and around from tho outsldo
towards tho center. The largost
sheets that can bo obtained In this
way aro About flfteon Inches in' length
and about ton Inches In width. Theso
sheets of pith havo a commercial
value In China, for there tuoy aro
used In tho mauufacturo of many use
ful and ornamental articles.
As soon as tho Bhcets aro .cut thoy
aro spread out, all llttlo holos in them
are carefuly mondod with bits of mica,
and thoy aro thon mado flat by prcs
sure Tbo small, inferior shoots aro
brilliantly dyed, and then sold to
flower manufacturers. On tho largo
sheets native artists paint quaint,
brlght-hued pictures of Insects, birds
and flowers, and find a ready market
for thom, both at homo and abroad.
It would bo noxt to Impossible to
tell of all tho ways in which it Is pos
Bible to uso papor. Wo aro told that
it takes but twonty-nlno hours to con'
vort linen flbro Into a paper carwheel
Tho wheel Is composed entirely of
papor rings, which, when pilod loose
ly, stack as high as tho shoulders of
n manof average height Those rings,
undor treatment, sink to tho thickness
desired, and are then securely fasten
cd by means of bolts, and a steel tiro
Is put on them. In Russia and Ger
many paper car-rails havo already
been used to Bomo extent, nnd havo
given satisfaction. Enthusiastic paper
manufacturers tell us that paper
houses,. papor furniture of ovory do
scrlptlon and paper clothing of overy
kind will be in uso in tho near future.

When Jupiter Nodded yuLIIVI
BY J. L. SHERARD NsVM
Tho path of Miss Judith's peaceful
llfo had long slnco reached tho begin
ning of tho sunsot routo, but in pplto
k her gray hairs tho spark of ro
mance still burned brightly In her
gentle soul. Sho wns not slow, thoro
fore, to deduco from tho demeanor of
hor nlcco that something had gone1
wrong between that Vivacious young
woman nnd Tom.
With a keen appreciation of tho ad
vantages of tho psychological moment
she summoned tho girl to tho far end
of tho long south veranda, woll shut
out from tho silvery moonlight by a
mass of Virginia croopor, and with
sympathetic directness proceeded to
extract tho socrot burden of tho young
womnn's heart.
"Now, Margaret, toll your old nuntlo
whnt's happened between you and
Tom," sho said, more by way of com
mand than entreaty. "You'vo quar
reled. You nfccdon't .Bay no. It simply
won't do, my dear child, nnd It muBt
bo patched up this vory night."
"Quarreled? , Why, auntlo," Mar
garet began, assuming tho defensive,
"you know you you "
Tho girl hesitated, stammered help
lessly and was lost. For a moment
thoro was silence. Then sho broke
down and confessed tho wholo story
of dloappolntmcnt and wounded prldo.
"Yes, something hnB happened," sho
continued half defiantly. "Tom Mr.
Ingram hasn't written mo a lino In
ton days. Think Of HI And we'ro to
bo mnrrlod In tho early fall. I know
that tho survoylng party Is not so far
away from civilisation that ho can't
roach tho molls and sond mo somo
sort of mosesEC. That qunlnt llttlo
post ofilco he's always poking fun at
can hardly havo been swallowed up
In tho earth. It was hla own proud
boaBt that thoro novor was to bo a
lover liko him, but now that ho thlnkB
ho'B got me. I supposo tho ardor of
tho pursuit Is fast turning Into cold
indifference I'll teach him a lesson."
Her thrust was -tipped with sharp
Irony.
"But you aro judging him too quick
ly," Miss Judith protested, rallying
warmly to tho young engineer's de
fense. "Thoro's cortnlnly Bomo good
reason. Walt. Don't bo foolish, child."
"No. Ifa my dcllbornto Judgment,'
Margaret retorted through hor tears
"I tried to think that tried to bo char
itable but this morning's paper bears
out my suspicions, Justifies mo and
convicts him., Rend this dispatch
which says that tho party Is progress
ing well with tho survey of tho rail
road, that tho members aro In good
health and enjoying thcmsolves. En
Joying thcmsolves, lndocdl That's tho
unklndest cut of all. It's tho Injustice,
tffo neglect that hurts. If Tom can
communlcato with tho dally papers, It
looks as if ho might at lonst sond mo
a misorablo p-poat card. Love is every
thlnK to woman. I demand all or
nothing. I havo thought It all ovor. My
mind Is made up irrevocably. I havo
written tho young gentleman break
lng off tho engagement."
This emphntic pronouncement throw
Miss Judith Into n stato of uttor panic.
"What havo you dono, child?" sho
cried In dismay. "Ah. tho marriage of
my dcntN foster children has been tho
ono great dream of my llfo, and now
by a thoughtless act you havo shat
tered It. ruined my happiness. You
did you Bay that you havo written?"
"Yes, I havo written," replied tho
girl with a tono of finality. "Tho lot
tor went out in tho morning mail. It
Is now boyond rocall."
"It shall bo rocallcdl It shall not
bo delivered I" protested Miss Judith
with all tho vehemenco of nn Undo
Toby,
MIbb Judith's mental energy wns ex
pended during tno succeeding mo
ments In tracing tho routo tho lotter
WOUla navo o iuhu iu ruuuu iuu young
man, and In formulating somo plan to
intorcopt it on tho wny.
Somo CO miles down tho road It had
already left tho train at Onkland, sho
figured, and was waiting until early
morning, to begin Its 20-mllo Journoy
across tho river, through wild swamps
and thon Into tho heart of tho oxton-
slvo plno foreBts, then on to a point
within ten miles of whoro tho sur
veyors woro at work. Tho lottor's dca
tlnation was an insignificant little
backwoods poet ofilco presided ovor by
a lank cracker and a couplo ot loan
hounds. Throo tlmoB a week It boast
ed communication with tho outor
world.
But tho troublo-boaring letter could
not bo stoppoa. mibb Jiiuitii was
forced to that conclusion by tho loglcM
of tho situation. Bho had no phono:
tho telegraph office was closed for tho
night; hor homo wan 12 mlleB out In
tho country; and It wob night, nnd
thero was no ono to bear a message
Tom Ingram was a protego of Miss
Judith. When bis parontB died Bho
adopted tho boy, trained him up ten
derly and oducatod him at tho Stato
university. Ho was to hor a real son,
loyal and dovoted, endowed with all
tho gifts of mind and heart and chnfJ
actor that glorify manhood.
Margaret was a frequent visitor at
tho old-fashioned country houso, and
it was thoro that Miss Judith saw tho
first promlso of fulfillment of hor chor
lshed dream. '
With all his good qualities Tom was
proud nnd high-strung, Uko all tho In
grams. Therein lay tho danger in tho
present crisis. A breach botweon two
young lovers with bo much Inherited
prldo of birth would bo hard to heal.
All that long night tho girl's soul
was In n state of blttor rovolt against
tho Injustice of tho treatment sho had
rocotvod from Tom. Bho could not
sleep. Tho clock In tho hall down
stnlrs tolled tho hours at Intervals of
Bocmlng ages. Sho hated tho dark
ness. It nccontuated hor troubles. 8ho
longed for daylight and pence.
Whon tho first faint streaks of dawn
began to dispel tho shadows In tho
room a strong and sudden reaction of
feeling sot In. What It thoro should
bo somo mlstnko? It was not liko
Tom to act thus. Tho traditions of his
family and his training cried out
against it. Ho was too faithful to bo
guilty of. such cold-hearted indiffer
ence. UnH sho not been childishly
selfloh? A bciibo of guilt Bwopt over
her with tho forco of conviction. But
tho letter? Ah, tho lottcr would roach
him, In a few short hours. Boon lis
terrible mission would bo fulfilled. It
wns too late.
Was It too Into? Thero was a morn
ing train at iovon, It was now half
past fivo. Why not attempt to correct
tho blunder? Tho thought camo to
her Uko an Inspiration. Ab sho re
volved tho matter rapidly in mind tho
possibility of retrieving hor cfror took
on Bomothlug of tho rosy hue of hopo.
Feverishly sho wroto for a, f ow min
utes, thrust the lottor into nn envelope
nnd marked It, "Important! Ilushl"
Her brothor was a newspaper corre
spondent, nnd Bho romomborcd hav
lug seen such symbols of tho right of,
way stamped in big letters on tho long
envelopes.
"If ho gots this at tho samo tlmo, ho
will read it first. All will bo well thon,
for I havo asked him not to open tho
other lottor."
Hastily donning hor riding hnblt sho
slipped out qulotly to tho barn: Thero
a now difficulty arose. Her pony, sho
reftoctcd, could novor mnko tho 12
mlloa in tho baro hour sho had left to
reach tho station. Thoro wob only ono
homo in tho country that could mako
It ovor tho rough roads. That waB
Dllly, Tom's spirited sorrol,
But Tom and Aunt Judith had for
bidden tho girl ovor to attompt to rldo
Billy. It would bo too much Uko
courting death, Tom explained grave
ly. And thnt vory prohibition had al
ways mado her tho moro nnxlous to
tusto of tho forbidden plcusuro.
Necessity knows no law, respects no
injunctions. TIiIb was not a enso of
cholco or discretion. It wob Billy or-
fall. Sho chose Billy.
Thoro was no ono nbout tho place
ob Bho cantered out into tho aanay
lane leading Into tho main road. She
knew Just how llttlo urging was re
quired to keep tho sonBltlvo animal at
his best. Billy settled down into
ntoady, ovon gallop, covering tho miles
wnn tno BWift cortalhty and regularity
of ono truo to his blood and training.
Through field and forest, up hill nnd
down, along tho lovol stretcheB of tho
farm lands, sho Bpod, pausing at last
to got her bearings on tho crost ot tho
high rldgo boyond Slx-Mllo creek.
"Twcnty-frvo minutes I" Bho ex
claimed exultantly, looking at hor
watch. "Bravo boy. Billy! Kow for
tho homo stretch."
Just how tho accident happonod tho
olrl couldn't novor aulto explain. Sho
was rounding a wooded curve when an
automobile unexpectedly appoarod,
and beforo she realized any possibility
of dunger Billy shlod In sudden fright,
throwing hor vlolontly from tho sad-'
die. Fortunately tho yielding HmbB of
a wild applo troo caught hor body and
broko tho forco of tho fall.
When consciousness returned Bho
looked up Into tho care-worn fnco of
Tom. who knelt ovor hor awaiting
eagerly somo sign of roturnlng wo.
For a moment sho could not compre
hend what it all meant; thon, aB mem-
ory nftod tho veil caused by tho 'shock,
a smllo of poaco ovorsprcad hor coun
tenance
"Then you did wrlto?" sho asked,
and tho Intonation of her volco antlol-
Dated tho answer.
"Wrlto? Of courso I wroto. Hotter
than that I camo."
Tho wholo Btory of hor suffering
leaped beforo his mind's oyo clear aa
tho morning slm. "I'll explnln it all
whon you fool hotter; Just ono word
now. Up to throo days ago I got your
letters. Thon thoy stopped. Evory
third day wo sent our letters by a
negro boy to tho office. I novor
dreamed that thoy wero not promptly
reaching you through tho malls. Thon
something rouBod my suspicions. I
investigated. Tho boy on tbf last two
trlpB had given tho lettors to that mis-
crublo puppet of a postmaster, Ju
pltor Shaw, out In tho woods whoro
ho found him squirrel hunting. This
faithful Bofvant of Undo Sam was on
ono ot his periodical sprees, and bo
calmly stuck thoso lettors in his
breeches pockot and forgot Hi I about
them. On tho seventh day bo locked
tho ofilco and disappeared In tho
swamp. It was by mero chnnco that I
ran across him and discovered my let
ters In his pockot. Thon I know what
you must havo Buffered. Without ovon
so much ns Bonding a mcssago back to
tho party I hurrlod across tho swamp
and rlvor, nnd by a lucky chnnco got
this automobile at Oakland. It'a all
tho fault of Jupltor curso him! But,
como. wo must bo oft. You noed at
tention."
"Oh, I'm all right," Margaret smiled
back at him as ho assisted hor to tho
waiting automobile. "I'm not hurt
Thoro's nothing tho matter with me
except a pronounced attack of happi
ness."
SOME POINTS ON INCUBATOR
Beginner1 Will Be Greatly Aided In
Management of Machine by ob- .
serving Rules Given Herewith. ;
The following points la tho man
agement of nn Incubator may bo help
ful to tho beginner:
Sot tho machlno perfootly level to
Inauro perfect vontilation and efficient
working of all tho heating apparatus.
Do not plnco tho working machlno
In n north or west room, if possible. Ai
south or oast room la preferred.
Tho incubator should bo in a room;
whoro thero Is flro at no tlmo, or fire
at all times.
In n cold room tho eggs must bo
nlred when tho tcmpornturo Ib above
60 degrees or chilling will rcsulL
Fresh air and somo molsturo aro
necessary for Bucoosorul inclination,
and theso are supplied by tho vontlla-
ted dovlco of ovory incubator.
Incubntor doors should bo mado of
doublo glass und fit neatly to avoid
loss of heat
A machlno of from CO to 120 egg
capacity Is about right for tho bogln-i
nor. It Is largo enough ror practical
purpoBos and not so largo as to causa
confusion.
Avoid oxcoss of tcmpornturo and.
absence of molsturo In tho room In,
which tho incubator is located.
Fill and trim tho lamp dally and
uso a wlek of sufficient width so that
a low blazo will produco tho neces
sary heat
Let ono person only attend to tho
Incubator and give it attontlon at
least twlco each day.
Keep tho lamp burner and bowl
freo from oil and othor foreign mat
ter. Eggs aro ovorhcated at 110 degrees,!
but it will tako ten to twonty-four
hours to kill them, according to how
near tho hatching point thoy are.
Eggs can bo considered chilled
whon tho heat falU to CO dogrecB or
below. Thoy will still hatch, however.
It not kept cold too long say not
ovor twonty-four hours but it al
ways hurtB thorn moro or less, and it
Is b?st novor to let them cool below
70 degrees under any circumstances.
Investigation shows that the sitting
hon Imparts a tomporaturo to the
egg's vorylng from 110 degrees at tho
outsldo of tho uest to 105 degrees In
tha center, the average temperature
being 103 degrees, henoo 103 degVee
IB file lomiicrtiiuru nh wuiuu au luguim-
tor should bo run.
Many of our choicest market fowls.
as woll as ehow prlxe winners, were
incubator hatched, which disproves
tho notion that artificial incubation
produces weak chicks
Turn tho eggs dally, yet It la net
absolutely nocessary to turn thom all
exactly allko.
The attachment which gives a
wnrnmg Blgnal whon tho tomporature
runs boyond tho danger limit Is a
good dovlco and roltoves eno of much
caro.
Whon tho chicks ftro nearly ready
to hatch tho insldo tomporature of
tho maohlno will rlso and tho heating
apparatus must bo regulated, aB less
beat is nodded thon than at tho begin
ning of incubation.
Olvo attontlon to dotails, learn the
workings ot your machlno, and don't
worry. Let tho machlno do .tho work.
Let tho chicks Btay In tho incubntor
without food from twonty-four to forty-eight
hours after thoy aro batched.
