For many years it has been knowri that chickens could be hatched by regu lated heat, which was produced in va rious ways. At Montgomery, in Ala bama, a gentleman has established him self in the business of hatching eggs by steam and raising the chickens by hand. The last account from him is that he had hatched one thousand chickens, and had under the influence of his steam hen 1,* 800 egg«. Those Who have raised chick ens in the old way will at once discover the importance of this labor-saving ma chinery. There is no old hen to fly at you when you want her to come in with her chickens to keep out of the rain ; no mixing up corn dough to feed her; no scratching up your garden beds to find worms for the young ones; no mink catching the hen and leaving the eggs to spoil. Just stick a thermometer undef a hen, mark the degree of animal heat produced, prepare a room, put in your eggs and thermometer, keep the heat to suit, and the thing is done. When th« chickens come out for a few days they need particular care. Then feed them in a room of right temperature, until in the open air they will run about, and when they feel like it go under the feath ers of hn artificial hen. With the pres ent progressive aversion to raising chil dren, some such method may, in the course of events, be necessary to secure a population suited to the wants of new countries and the development of old ones. Any improvement in this line will meet the wishes of a great many anxious females. How it H appened .—Piggy got into a large yard where he did not belong, and trying to get out again he stuck fast un der a high board fence, and there began to kick and squeal in the good old way. His master, a big, fat Irishman, hearing the hubbub, ran out of his house near by> and caught his pig by the ears, endeav oring to pull him through the holo before his trespass was detected. But this treat ment had no effect but make the pig yell the more. An old ram in the yard hear ing the noiss, and seeing piggy’s hind legs and tail flourishing away in a men acing manner, accepted what he thought was a challenge, and lowering his head charged with all his might. He struck his mark squarely and fairly, and the pig shot through the hole like a pork can non-ball, and striking his master full in the breast, knocked him flat on his back. The only person who witnessed this clos ing scene was just entering the yard, and not being aware how many actors were engaged in it, was very much surprised to hear what he supposed to be the pig, swearing in Irish on the other side of the fence. T he U se of C amphor .—When the mucous membrane ot the nose, frontal sinuses, are affected by catarrh, a strong solution of camphor, frequently and for some hours snuffed up the nose, and five or six drops taken internally on a lump of sugar, at first for every ten minutes, then every hour, will usually put a stop to the alfection. Ordinary cold and even influenza, if treated in this manner at the very beginning of the attack, are gener ally controlled by the same treatment. In summer diarrhoea, no remedy is so efficacious as camphor, if employed at the very commencement of the disease; la ter it is without effect. Its influence over cholera is equally remarkable. Dose: six drops of a strong alcoholic so lution of camphor, given at first every 10 minutes ; afterwards, as the symptom* abate, less frequently. R epublican E xtravagance . — In the year 1860, the total debt of the rebel lious States was $76,400,000. It is now $291,626,000, showing an increase of $215,300,000. In many of the Southern States this almost amounts to confisca tion of property. During the last three years of peace the current expenditure* of the Government were $140,000,000, ex clusive of interest and pensions, as against an annual expenditure of $60,000,000 be fore the war. Population has increased 25 per cent.; expenditure has increased 120 per cent. In this view of the case will any one pretend to assert that the present Administration is entitled to th« continued support of the people on th« ground of its economy ? “P eter , what are you doing to that boy?” said a schoolmaster to one of hi* pupils. “He wanted to know if you take ten from seventeen, how many will re main ; so I took ten of his apples to show him, and now he wants me to give 'em back.” “Well, why don’t you do it?* “Co2, sur, he would forget how many i* left.” _______ ________ O n a gate-post in a western town is • sign : “Take warn’t.
