If yrn are bothered with hens that express their maternal Instinct by persistently Bitting on anything from an egg to a door knob, don't bang her around and treat her roughly fur being true to her instincts. Have a separate yard or coop well lighted, without roosts or boxes and keep an active young cockerel penned up with her. This will inevitably break her up.

pretty flock of Rhode Island Reds belonging to Howard Roifsnyder, of Langhorne, were laying while the other hens in adjacent yards wera on strike. The writer, who breeds his Lonapc strain Rhode Island Reds has seen no reason to change his views regarding these birds when properly handled and bred. Although they are not described in the Standard of Perfection they are the eqnuls of any and the super- lore of many breeds described there and promise in the future to become as well- know as the Barred Plymouth Bocks. The writer has not sacrificed this most valuable quality for color. When the laying qualities are engrafted on the young stock the hens of the following year will be bred for the points that delight the fancier, not before.

13th Philadelphia. The experiment described below was undertaken by the West Virginian Experiment Station, for the purpose of comparing meat meal with ground fresh meat and bone as materials furnishing protein laying hens. Thirty-four Barred Plymouth Rock bens and two cooks were divided into two similar lots. They were supplied at all times with mica crystal grit, granulated bone Thu grain ration for each lot of fowls was tbe same, but the amount consumed varied somewhat, and so tbe actual amount of grain consumed by each lot is given. At the beginning of each period tbe grain for that period was weighed and stored in suitable boxes.

No account was taken of the daily amounts fed. At tbe ond of which period the amount remanlina was again weighed, and the difference taken as the actual amount of food consumed. The experimi nt began October 25, 1899, and was continued for four periods of thirty days each. During the etperiment the fowls receiving the fresh bone laid 8,824 eggs weighing 495.2 pounds, of an average weight of 12.76 pounds per hundred eggs, while the meat meal lot laid only 3,260 eggs weighing 891.2 pounds and weighing 11.94 pounds per hundred. Consequently the fowls fed fresh bone not only gained more in weight, but they also laid more and larger eggs.

"I fee! as If I should fly to pieces." How often these words are on a woman's Ips. They express to the uttermost tbe nerve racked condition of the body, which makes life a daily martyrdom.

Our good Democratic friends at the county seat are becoming what the small boy would term "real sassy." Several of them are taking a hand in contributions to the Democrat and the old party organ has been inspired with a vigor that fairly makes its rusty joints crack. It is ripping around knocking the Republican leaders and the party right and left and has even assailed the sedate old Intelligencer, which helped the Democrat on its way to the Commissioners' office by publishing "Oappy's" cartoons and letters.

It now declares that the whole Republican party ia corrupt and proclaims that the papers representing the party have one foot in the grave. After total abstinence for the year it doesn't take much to go to ten Democrat's head. was a HULMEVIL'Le George Ridge, of Philadelphia, Sunday visitor In town. Mr. and Mra.

The Morrisville Baseball Association has about completed arrangements for its coming fair and bazaar to be held in Mershon's Hall from February 7 to 14. Twelve carloads of bard coal came to the coal dealera in Morrisville, during the past week. So our people are now reasonably supplied with fuel at $6.75 per ton. Raymond, son of Mr. and Mrs.

The immense iron girders which fell from a moving freight a few days ago on to a passenger train track, were 'moved on i Sunday last by the wreck train. A serious wreck waa narrowly averted bv there being just time enough to roll it from the main track before a fast express came bounding along. "Numerous complaints are being made by patrons of the Bristol and Morrisville trolley line about the fare charged be- those places.

They claim that fif- een cents each way is too much as the fardley, Morrisville ana Trenton line barge only five cents for a five mile ride between Yardley and Trenton. LI I IB lUWUlbJTi an sentiment will be almost unanimous for the change but with a difference of opinion as to what method shall take the place of the mass convention. Many fear that the delegate system will not answer but will merely precipitate bitter factional contests in the districts add that tbe party should vote directly for the candidates as under the Crawford County method. But this matter the contention will decide. Republicans are sufficiently gratified that tne way is open for a change without disagreement as to methods at this time.

THE JDDGESHIP. It does not look as though it would be possible to have a non-partisan judicial election next fall. Republicans, however, may console themselves witn the reflection that it was not from their party that the first step to create partisan feeling was taken. In view of what has been published recently on this subject it may be of intercut to keep in mind just how the present discussion of the comitfB contest originated. The members of both parties naturally discussed the matter but without bitterness or undue feeling.

In fact it was not known who would be the candidates of either party and up to tbe present none has been announced. It was the impression that if the Democrats decided to put up a candidate that Judge Yerkes would be their choice and practically the only available candidate. On the Republican side the popular choice ,1 i rtf 4-na Knr M. E. prarer meeting will be held at the residence of Charles Haefner on Friday evening.

But Mr. Lear has not announced himself as a candidate and is not a candidate at present. He was regarded as available because of his high standing at the Bar, his legal attainments and the fact that he has not been identified with any political factions or contest. For these reasons alone, and not because of anything he has said or done, his friends have mentioned Km in connection with tbe judicial election. But evidently the Democrats feared that be would be a and a popular one, and so, with tbe premeditated purpose of preventing, this if possible they have gone to the extent of insulting him, his friends and his party.

As has been explained upon a previous occasion this was done in a Philadelphia paper. Not to make the attack upon Mr. Lear too conspicuous there were covert thrusts at Messrs. Ryan, Yardley, Stout and Hairis. Witb reference to Mr.

Lear the article stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would be pleased to have him on the Bench. The inference is plain. It waa a dishonorable and malicious assault upon the integrity of a reputable lawyer who had done nothing to bring his name before the public and was not seeking the judicial nomination. It is now known who wrote tbe article and in whose interest it was written. Its publication called for a reply which in turn provoked another attack upon Mr.

Lear in a Bristol paper. This was even more personal In tone and innuendo in some respects. In this community both articles are regarded as totally uncalled for and malicious. In contra distinction to this Republicans have said nothing abusive or objectionable concerning possible Democratic candidates. Therefore, Bepublcans should remember tbat if a bitter partisan fight grows out of this contest, it will have been inaugurated by the other side.

The deceased is survived by her husband and four small children and other relatives to mourn her loas. Henry Bade was formerly a resident here: after his marriage be took up his residence in Trenton. The heartfelt sympathy of his friends from here is extended to him and his dear little ones In their sorrowful affliction.

Mrs. Yardley Palmer, of Woodvllle, N. died on Thursday of last week after a short Illness. Her funeral took plai-e from the residence of her aged mother, Mrs. Margareth White, and her remains were laid at rest in the Quaker burial grounds Panns Manor, on last Monday afternoon.

Owing to the bad condition of the roads. It took the hearse fully four boors to arrive here. Funeral services were conducted in the house by Rev. Mr. Reber, of Morrisville, where great many relatives and friends had gathered to pay her tbe last tribute of respect.

She leaves a husband and two grown up daughters to mourn over her loss, besides a motner past eighty years and a host of other near relatives. She was born, raised and lived in the Manor until a few years ago, when Yardley bought a small farm In Woodville, where they have since resided.

And Marconi's Wireless Telegraphy Compared With the Cable System. In the flelC of telegraphing between ships, or between ship and shore, cable- less telegraphy has, of course, an absolute monopoly.

In telegraphing across intervening bodies water, as the English Channel, oableless telegraphy is now a successful competitor of the cable system, not only in the initial cost of the apparatus, but also in tbe service rendered, and from this time onward cables will be entirely supplanted by the cableless method for distances up to three hundred miles. a he cost of submarine cables is aproxi- mately a thousand dollars per mile, including the sending and receiveing aparatua; the cost of keeing cables in repair is enormous, while the only expense entailed for repairs in cablelesas stations is for an occasional mast damaged by storms. In transatlantic cableless telegraphy, the equiments cost very nearly half a million dollars per station, against two million dollars for an Atlantic cable. At present, transmission by cable Is faster than by Marconi oableless, which is now thirty words per minute; but when If is considered that.the cable system has been In existence for fifty years, and phe oableless system scarcely more than as many days, It must be admitted that com- narfsra on this score is premature. The first cable systems were by no means commercially efficient; for example, when Queen Victoria sent Her first message, consisting of ninety words, by cable.
