How a Danbury Man Caught his
Chicken.

MIR. Cobleigh, of Nelson street, bought
three hens, Saturday night, and put them
under box until he could build a coop.
Sunday morning he saw one of them in the
street, and bestowing brief curse on the
somebody who had overturned the box,
and leopardiZed his property, he started
out after it, to drive it back INTO the yard.
1t took fifteen minutes TO convince him
that that hen could not be dsiven into that
yard, and then he attempted to catch It.
Three times he rose up with his hands full
of feathers, and his chin full of sand, but
still that hen eluded him. Once he got it
cornered, and thought sure he had it, but
1t flew straight up over his head, and flap
ped its wings IN his face, and filed his
eyes with dust. o, how mad Mr.. Cobleigh
was. 1t was Sunday morning. The bells
were ringing, people were starting to
church, and there be was IN the street,
with no coat, or hat on, and with nothing
but slippers on his feet, and every once IN
a while oAe of them would come off and
fly through the air, and his naked foot
would come in contact with the cruel
gravel, before he could stop himself. Then
he would have to hop back on one foot
after that slipper, while the hen stood on
the walk and elocuted, and the little Sun
day school children stopped and laughed,
and their parents reproved them and
laughed, too. Finally the hen got away
from him and started down street at
wonderful speed for hen, and he started
after her, his face redder than ever, and
every time he cleared a rod, he would
stop and hop back two after one of those
slippers. When he reached the corner of
Essex street. he jumped out of both slip
pers at once, but instead Of stopping to
go back, he picked up a stick of wood and
kept on. Then as the hen dedged iato a
gateway he hurled the stick, and broke
the leg of a strange dog, which added its
piercing 'kiyi." to the entertainment. But
Coblelgh didn't stop. BE tole into the
yard after his property, in his bare feet,
and chased his hen into q wood-pile and
caught it, just as the owner of the prem
lses came out and wanted to know what
Cobleigh was going to do with his hen,
and what hes ment, anyway, by getting
drunk and kicking up such hullabaloo
IN peaceful neighborhood. Cebleigh
first thought he would kneck the man
down with an axe, and what he could not
eat Of him bury under a barn, but the
newcomer succeeded in proving to Cob
leigh that the hen was his, and then the
miserable man burst into tears, and limped
back home, where he found the three hens
under the box.

The Sexes in Crime.

DR.. Edward Jarvis, Of Boston, read a
paper before the Social Science CoBven-
ton, at its late session, on the ratio OF sex
in crime. He stated that the criminal
statistics IN this country and England
show that the crimes of male offenders are
mostly against persons and property, in
which the aggressors intend TO crafty or
benefit themselves at the expense of others.
Onthe other hand, more than three -fourths
of the ofenses of females are against their
own health, peace and interest-crffnes OF
sensuality, as the doctor termed them,
which required no ald of the intellect, no
plan, no purpose, no reason. Hence he
says that the crimes of men are mainly
crimes ofselfshness, while those of women
are crimes Of self-sacrifee. Women he
asserts, repeat ofenses more frequently
than men; 100 males went 10 prison 50
times, and 100 females were Imprisoned
346 times. The offenses of males, are ola
graver nature and more injurious to soci-
ETY.. The doctor said, however, that even
IN the ottenses of lntemperance and sensu-
atty the male offenders outnumbered the
females, but society is far more lenient and
forgiving to the shining man than the sim
ming woman. --l n l,.r- .
Miss Mary, Carpenter, an English re-
form lecturer, VINO has recently come to
this country, wished the audience to re-
member that a bad woman can do AN
amount Of harm that no man can possibly.
de. She had known many children grow
up well with bad father, but she had
never known any to grow up wen with
q bad mother. The argument in behalf
Of the traneendRnt Importance Of Woman's
work IN the home circle could not be stat
ed more powerfully or In fewer words
Soiomon's virtuous women will do more

omon himself ever did in all his glory.

Simmer Play.

Nothing" says DIR. ]. G. Holland in
ScTibner's for July, "csn be more cruel
and nothing more foolish than to place
children where they must be dressed every
day in fashionable clothes, and their free
dom to play curtailed for the sake of ap-
peaTances. What childhood needs is per-
feet freedom among the things of nature
freedom to romp, to make mud-pies. to
leap fences, to row, to fish, to climb trees,
to chase butterflies, to gather wild how-
srs, to live out of doors from morning till
night, and to do all those things that in
nocent, and healthy childhood delights in,
IN cheap. strong clothes provided for the
purpose. Exactly that which childhood
needs, manhood and womanhood need
perfect carelessness. So, whether the
dweller by the sea go in inland for his
summer play, or the resident of the inland
city 60 to the sea, he should seek some
spot unvisited by those devoted 10 fash
ionable display, and pass his time in un-
resisted communion with nature, and in
those pursuits and amusements which,
without let or hindrance, perform the
efice of recreation.
