How to Prevent Hens from Eating Their
Eggs.

The Country Gentleman suggests a;
way to prevent hens from eating their
eggs. 1t is to Ell an egg with solution
of pepper, and put the egg back in the
nest. \ Danbury man has tried this,
and says it works like charm. He put
pretty good deal of pepper in the egg,
and placed it in the nest Of the criminal
Pretty soon the hen came around and
took hold. 1t was brindle animal, with
long legs, and somewhat conceited. 1t
dipped in its bill and inhaled the delicacy.
Then it came out of doors. 1t didn't gal
lap out, we don't mean, but out-came
out to look at the scenery, and see if It
was going to rain. Its mouth was wide
open, and the feathers on the top Of its
head stood straight up Then it COM
menced to go around the yard like a cir
Gus horse. Once in while it would stop
and push out one leg in a tone of aston
ishment, and then holer ''fre," and start
on again. The other hens came out to
look on. Soon the hens from the neigh-
bors came over the fence, and took up a
position of observation. It was quite
evident the performance was something
entirely new and unique to them. There
is good deal Of human nature in hens.
When they saw this hen dance around,
and have all the fun to itself, and heard
it shout "ire," and could't see the con-
fagraton themselves, they filed up with
wrath, and of one accord spraug upon it,
and before the Danbury man could inter-
fere, the brindle hen with the long legs
was among the things that were. He
says the recipe is efectual-DanJmy
Nelcs.

fell, and in a few weeks was seized with
the ''jim-j jams" and in less than ten hours
after being confined in the hospital, was
corpse.
We cite these cases to show how ludi
crous as well as serious, are the vagaries
under which persons labor when suffer
ing from this malady. The delusions
with which they arc affected are as di
versified as nature itself; and if sane
mind can form some idea of the scope of
the imagination in health, then what must
it be when all the senses-the eye, the
ear, the brain-are rendered a thousand
times more acute and intensified by the
malady which racks the whole man 1t
is simply horrible-a state which no man
neep envy who does not want to be tor
mented before his time.

A Dead Body Preserved Over Fifteen
Hundred Years.

The tomb of Edward l., who died in
1907, was opened Jauuary 2, l77O, after
463 years had elapsed. His body was
almost perfect. Canute, (the Dance, who
crossed over to England in l0lT. was
found in 1776 by the workmen who re
paired Winchester cathedral, where his
body had reposed nearly $50 years, per-
fectly fresh. In 1869, three Roman sold
iers, fully equipped with warlikc imple-
ments, were dug out of bed of peat in
Ireland, where they had lain probably l.
500 years. Their bodies were perfectly
fresh and plump.
In the reign of James II. Of England,
after the fall of the church at Ashley, in
Warwickshire. there was taken up the
corpse of Thomas Gray, Marquis Of Dor
set, who was buried there the 10th Of
October, 1880, in the twenty second year
Of Henry Will; and although it had lain
there seventy eight years, the eyes, hair,
flesh, nails and joints remained as though
it had been but newly buried.
Robert Bray brook, who was consecrated
bishop of London in 1881, and who died
in l404, and was buried in St. Paul's,
was taken out Of his tomb, after the great
fire 10 1865, during the repairs Of the
cathedral, and, although he had lain there
20 less than 262 years, his body was
found firm as to skin, hair, joints and
nails
Pelro Rodriguez, Portuguese jeweler
while pursuing his occupation in the city
of Mexico, was, in 1895, accused before
the tribunal of the inquisition, aud after
variety of tortures, was condemned to
be buried alive in a vault in the Convent
de st. Domingo in that city He was
then thirty two years old. The Convent
de St. Domingo was lately demolished in
search Of treasure supposed to be con
ccaled there, aud the body of Rodri iguez
taken out Of the vault exactly as when
placed there 270 years before. His daugh-
ter, two and half years of age, was lying
under her fathers feet, and as perfectly
preserved as himself The evidences of
torture on the body of the jeweler are
fearfully apparent. In one respect, how
ever, the appearance does not coincide
with the record which we have given
The miserable man must have died in
the hands of his tormentors The posi-
tions OF his hands show that he was sus
pended by the body and neck until he
died. Marks OF the cord and of the burn
ing iron arc deeply recorded on various
parts of the body. His hair and beard
are firm, his skin natural in hue and tex
ture, without the least trace Of decom
position in any part.

with the Delaware, the appropriation
therefor, being $4,000. Ii successful
two more are to be bulls in 1875, one in
each Of the third and fourth dams, for
which $4,000 has been appropriated.

investigation showed that the ANXIOUS
parties were detectives, hardhearted,
cruel minions of the cold, merciless law,
and that their purpose was to lay their
legal hands upon his darling as soon as
the propeller touched Chicago dock.
The Philadelphia did not come all the
way to Chicago himself, and suggest to
her whom he loved that the trip
would be an advisable one for her to
take, in order that she should fall into a
pair of miserable detectives arms imme-
diately upon her arrival. The result was
that he bethought him for a moment, and
thinking led to action. Mr.. G. quietly
but quickly sought out the captain of the
tug boat johnson, and in a moment per
fected contract, which was that the tug
should meet that propeller, and do it at
the earliest possible moment On meeting,
the tug should hail the propeller, allow
the lover to go aboard, welcome his fair
one, and remove her and her goods to
the tug. The captain started out on a
moments notice, reached the propeller at
Crosse Point, removed the prize, and
reached the city at about an hour prior to
the propeller's coming. Once here the
pair HE'D themselves away, but whittier
no man knsweth. At least, it would be
safe to bet any number OF shirts that
those detectives do not. The propeller
arrived in due time The detectives di-
vided their force. One watched the pas
sengers as they came off; the other POM
pously boarded the craft, armed with the
necessary legal documents, but soon
found that no amount of authority would
enable him to take from the propeller a
person who was not included among her
live cargo. The detectives looked wise,
felt foolish, and walked away about as
sheepish looking pair as ever walked
Chicago's streets.
Meanwhile it is supposed that the pair
took an outward train, and, ere the detec-
tives have read the Times showing up their
folly, the persistent pair of lovers will be
united in holy wedlock by some rural
Banyon.- Chicago Times, Sept. IL.

On yesterday sharp trick was played
on pair of Chicago detectives by Phil
adelphia lover. The young Philadel-
phian has for months faithfully wooed one
of the gentlest and faircst Of the staid old
Quaker City's daughters. The young lady's
parents opposed the match, and did all
they could to separate the pair, but 1t was
of no avail.
About week ago the pair met In front
of old Independence Hall, and prompted
to bOldness by the memories 1t recalled,
they resolved that In the peculiar course of
human events which surrounded them, it
became their duty to dissolve the bonds
which connected them with parental
government which they regarded az tyran-
nical and unjust Pledging their lives,
fortunes and sacred honOrs to one anoth-
er, and relying upon the justice Of their
cause, they decided to come to Chicago.
They concluded, however, that 1t was not
best for them to travel together. So MIR.
G.. and Miss g., as we call them, out Of
respect to the feelings OF the heightened
and wealthy family Of the young lady,
who are heart-brOken at her conduct, and
desire the names Of the parties to the
elopemcnt suppressed, concluded that
Mr.. G. should come to Chicago by rail,
and Miss q. to Buffalo by rail, and thence
to Chicago by the lake. Mr.. Q. arrived
here few days ago, and on yesterday
morning might have been seen looking
anxiously for the arrival Of certain pro-
pcler Of the Buffalo line He soon
learned that he was not the only person
who wanted to know when that propeller
would arrive. And soon, also, he discov-
cred that others, strangers to him, were
looking with degree Of eagerness which
he was unwilling to tolerate, for the very
young lady whom he desired to clasp to
his affectionate bosom. A little further
