A Curiosity that Beats Them All.

We have heard of many curiosities
and freaks of nature, but the one about
to be spoken of beats them all. Mr.. w.
w. Turner lives in the southern part of
town, and is the owner of large par
fridge cochin hen, weighing twelve or
fourteen pounds. It is but one year of
age, and is in appearance similar to
other hens.
It is peculiar in this respect that,
when it lays an egg there is something
strange about it. About four weeks
ago, in single day, this hen laid four
eggs. For whole week thereafter, not
an egg was laid. She then took one of
her peculiar freaks and laid an egg
about the size of q goose egg. Before
reaching the shell, there were three soft,
fine layers similar to buckskin.
Since then, up to day before yester-
day, she has laid no eggs. She then
produced an egg within an egg, which
was truly marvellous. The egg was ex-
traordinarily large, and by some mere
accident the shell was broken. Under
this first shell was the white and yolk
as in other eggs, but under this was
huOtucI oucA uCiooAuS OoAiVu-cL1ossA
egg. The outer shell was very thin,
soft and white, while the inner shell
was hard, and the color that of a guinea
egg. We saw this specimen of the hens
ability yesterday, and we must confess
that it beats all we have ever seen of the
kind.
This last freak occurred day before
yesterday, and in week or SO we may
look out for something else Of start
ling nature. It may be that before sht
gets through she will hatch out whole
brood of chickens without first going
through the process Of laying the eggs
This IS what might be termed Cen
tennial hen, the like of which comes
but once in hundred years.-St. 10
j seph (Mo.) Gazette,
