EXPERIMENTING WITH HENs-In
the Poultry World, Isaac Lynde, of
Ohio, gives the result of an experiment
with different breeds of pullets in lay
ing for six months, and the cost of their
feed. On September lst he took ten
pullets of each of the breeds mentioned
below, about six months old, gave them
yard forty feet square, with COM
Portable house, and kept an exact account
of eggs and feed, as follows:
The Dark Brahmas ate 369 1-2 quarts
of corn, oats and wheat screenings, laid
COS eggs, and weighed 10 pounds. The
Buff Cochins ate 406 quarts, laid 59l
eggs, and weighed 73 pounds. The
Gray Dorkings ate 800 l-2 quarts, laid
524 eggs, and weighed SO l-2 pounds.
The Houdans ate 214 IA quarts, laid
763 eggs, and weighed As l-2 pounds.
The Leghorns ate 23l Is quarts, laid
SO7 eggs, and weighed Sc l-2 pounds.
To make this experiment more COM
plete, and to show which lot gave the
most profit, including both eggs and
flesh, we have supposed the fowls to be
dressed and sold at the end of the six
months at 90 cents per pound; also that
the eggs were worth "a cents dozen
1.-TWO cents each), and that the cost of
the feed was 2 l-2 cents per quart, or
80 cents per bushel. The figures would
then be >.

Now don't live a single hour of yonr life
without doing exactly what is to be done in
it and going straight through it, from begin
ming to end. Work, play, study, whatever
it is take hold at once and finish it up
squarely and ceanly and then to the next
thing. without letting any moments drop
out between. 1t is wonderful to see how
many hours these prompt people contrive to
make of a day it is as if they picked up
the moments that the dawdlers lost. And
if ever you find yourself where you have so
many things pressing upon you that you
hardly know how to begin, let me tell you a
secret: Take hold Of the very first one that
comes to hand and you will find the rest all
fall iHto file and follow after like company
of well drilled soldiers: and though work
may be hard to meet when it charges in
squad, il is easily vanquished if you can
bring it into line. You may have often
seen the anecdote of the man who was ask
ed how he had accomplished so much in his
life. My father taught me-, was the re-
ply, when had anything to do, to go and
do IT," There is the secret-the magic
word nOp-Erchange.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF TEARs.-Dr.
Daniel luke, says the British Medical
journal, who has been investigating
the physiology of tears, thinks we must
confess with Brodie that we can not
answer the simple question why or how
does a certain state of mind augment
the secretion of the gland: The
quality of the secretion seems to be
altered by powerful emotions; the saline
ingredients being increased, causing a
strong brine" Lastly, the secretion
may be checked. The intensity of the
feeling or the suddenness of sorrow is
the most frequently witnessed cause.
Daily observation shows that the first
result of distressing intelligence is the
negative one-inability to cry. See, too,
what the want of a handkerchief may
do. Il went," says Hunter, :" to see
Mrs Siddons acting. Ihad full con-
viction that should be very much af-
fected but, unfortunately had not put
a handkerchief in my pocket; and the
distress | was in for the want of that
requisite when one is crying, and kind
of fear | should cry, stopped up every
tear, and l was even ashamed did pot
cry"

THE smoothness of Mr.. EDMUND
YATEs's diction, and the harmony and
grammatical accuracy of his sentences,
are explained by the fact that he invari-
ably dictates to stenographer and
talks off his stories. Allsgreat novelists
have talked better even than they have
composed. Mr.. YATES began novel
writing quite by accident. Being edi-
tor of London magazine, there had
been an announcement of forthcoming
serial by a popular romancist, who, from
illness, failed to be in time with copy.
Mr.. Y. vainly importuned his collabor-
ateurs to fill the gap, and in sheer de-
spair began Broken to Harness, which
is one of his best works, because prob
ably conceived and written under more
ambitious spur than were his other
works.-Harper's Bazaar.

INGENUITY OF ANIMALs.-One of the
largest of ferocious animals in South
America is the jaguar-a native tiger
felis onca. Besides being large, and
immensely strong, it practices extraor-
dinary strategic schemes in procuring
food, which indicate some thing above
mere instinct, because circumstances
are constantly requiring some variation
in their foraging expeditions for prey.
Humboldt says when they find turtle
they adroitly turn it over on its back.
1t is then helpless, and totally unable
to offer resistance in that condition.
With the most cruel manifestation of
feline character, the jaguar then leisure
ly gnaws out the quivering flesh from
between the shell and carapace. An
other of the jaguar's reasonable man.

of streams. At the sight of fish near

tropical America. In the twinkling of n

a hopeless maniac; spending her time in

long life, but all hope of her recovery
