Number of Eggs in a Hen.


A curious point ofinquiry among zoolo-
gists has been, for long time, how many
eggs there are in the ovary of hen? Tc
determine this, a German naturalist, a
short time since, instituted some careful in,
vestigations, the result of which showed
the ovary of hen to contain about 60C
embryo eggs. He also found that some
twenty Of these are matured the first year
about 120 during the second year, 13J
during the third, III during the fourth
and during the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth years the number decreases by TWEEN,
ty annually, it consequently following that
after the fourth, or at most the fifth year
hens are no longer, profitable as layers, un,
less it may be in exceptional instances.

A case of nature quite rare in the

ported at length in the Times. The snit
was Wa brought in equity by young married
woman to have her inchoate RIGHT of dover
IN property valued at $3.50, 900, protected by
the court. The property had been con.
Veyed by her husband to his two grown
up daughters, children of former wife
four days before plaintiffs marrige with
MN, and without her knowledge or con-
sent, the consideration being natural affec-
ton OF the grantor for the grantee. This
act OF the husband was claimed to have
been IN fraud Of his wifes inchoate RIGHT of
dover, and the court was asked for q de-
cree declaring the conveyance void so far
as 1t affected such right This was grant
ed, the court holding that a man cannot
WOO woman with his wealth, and then
defraud her of the enjoyment of it by
deciding away his property on the eve Of
their marriage. The decision is of special
interest to women.

What States Should Not Do.

States should never attempt to build and
run canals or railroads. Pennsylvania tried
it and after running up debt of nearly
fifteen millions, made its best speculation
by selling off the public works at half their
cost. New York State held on to its canals
and has lost millions of dollars annually,
while recently frauds have been brought
to light, that will compel a sale of their
works unless the people of that State de-
sire to be taxed to death for the benefit of
political swindlers.
