BREAKING UP SETTING HENs.-I can see
no necessity of trying the many harsh ex-
periments recommended to break them up.
God has given them the instinct and why
should they be abused for carrying out the
design of the Creator? Why should they
be pulled from the nest with such rough
hands and flung npon the floor, with force
enough to stun the poor innocent thing,
every night for week or moro? Why
should they be doused in water; tied by
the leg; starved; kicked and knocked
about for acting out the nature given them ?
If hen sits, remove her very gently from
the nest, and place her and all others
taken in the same way, in yard by them
selves. At night, or when it rains, let
them go into the pen kept for their benefit,
but have nothing there but the roost.
After they have thus been confined a few
days, with plenty of good food and pure
water, they may be ready to go to laying
again.

\ MIsER IN HIGH LIFE.-Lord Barco, an
ancestor of the Earl of Fife, was remarkable
for practising that celebrated rule, Get
all you can, and keep all you can get"
One day, walking down the avenue from
his house he saw q farthing lying at his
feet, which he carefully cleaned. A beggar
passing at tho same time, entreated his
lordship would give him the farthing.
saying it was not worth nobleman's at
tention. 1" Fin a farthing to yourself,
puir body" replied his lordship, and care
fully put the coin in his breeches pocket.
In addition to being his own farthing
findor, his lordship was his own factor and
rent collector. a tenant who called upon
him to pay his rent, happened to be
deficient farthing. This amount could
not bo excused, and the farmer had to pay
the farthing. When tho business was
adjusted, the countryman said to his lord
ship; " Now, Barco, would gie yo shilin'
for sight O. a the goud and siller ye hae. "
well, mon," repliad Barco, otis no cost
ye ony mair;" and accordingly fer, and in
consideration of the Aforesaid sum, in hand
first we'll and truly paid, his lordship ex-
hibited several iron boxes filled with gold
and silver coin. "Now," says the farmer,
Pm as rich as yourself" Gay, mon," said
I've seen it-and yo can do ma mair."

Carl Richter, after once hearing a sermon,

How TO CURE THE CHnLs.-The follow
ing receipt for curing fever and ague, and
the reason for its administration in that
form is given by the journal Of Health.
To cure fever and ague take twelve grains
of quinine at one dose about an hour before
the chill is expected. Just one week from
that hour take another twelve grains OF
quinine. The disease will seldom return
This is the dose for an adult. Children
should take smaller doses according to age.
The reason that decided doses of auinine
cure fever and ague seems to be that the
disease receives q shock which brakes it.
Small doses of quinine only hold it in
check during the time the medicine is
being taken as soon as it is suspended the
disease usually returns. Hence the popu
lar notion that the quinine only "feeds ,
the disease. The fault is not with the
medicine, but in the manner of admins
tering it. While we do not believe in en-
couraging the employment of medicine
we are bound to say that quinine, periodi
cally administered, has proved the onl!
"dead-shot" for fever and ague in ou
practice.

ORIGIN OF THE CoRoNER's JURY.-A gentle
woman in London, after having buried six
husbands, found a gentleman hardy enough
to make her a wife once more. For several
months their happiness was mutual, cir
cumstanco which seemed to pay no great
compliment to her former matrimonial
partners, who rs she said, had disguised
her by their sOttishness and inGdclity
With a view of knowing the real character
of his mate, the gentleman began frequently
to absent himself, to return at lato hours,
and when he did return, to appear as if in
toxicated. At first reproachcs, but after
wards mcnance5, were the consequences OF
this conduct. The gentleman persisted,
and seemed every day more and more
addicted to his bottle. At longth one
evening, when she imagined him dead
drunk, she unsewed lcaden weight from
one Of the sleeves Of her gown, and having
melted it, she approached her HUSBAND
(whO pretended still to be sound asleep) il
order to pour it into his car through
pipe Convinced of her wickedness, tn
gentleman started up and seized her, an'
having procured assistance, he secured he
till the morning, when he had her con
ducted before magistrate, who comm;tto
her to prison. The bodies Of her six hu,
bands were then dug UP, and as marks c

strong upon her trial that She wa. COZ

4 Wonderful Establishment.

One Of the sights afforded by our city at
the present time, which no one visiting the |
Centennial should fail to sec, is Wanama-
ker's Mammoth Clothing Depot, Thirteenth
and Market streets
This is the largest establishment of its
kind in tho world, comprising, as it does,
between two and three acres of store room
on one floor, and containing on its hun
drcds of retail counters a stock of Cloth
ing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, and
Mems Furnishing Goods valued at over
one million of dollars. Some idea of the
extent of business done at this giant es-
Enlistment may be gathered from the
fact that nearly two thousand hands are
constantly employed in the different de-
partments-Of these five hundred being
always in the store engaged in tho capacity
of clerks, salesmen, cutters, sewers, etc,
etc
The business is all done on one floor,
and is carried on in all its branches with
the most perfect system. Everything
simple reason that every employee in the
manufacturing department has his specific
work to perform, and particular place
to perform it in, while the clerks and sales
men are under strict discipline from the
time they begin work in tho morning until
they leave theirs posts in the evening
Visitors to this mammoth house are
always welcome, and are treated with
uniform courtesy and attention, whether
they purchase or not. The different stage,
in the manufacture of clothing, from the
reception Of the fabrics in the piece, diroc
from the mills, down to the folding of tho
ready-made garments for exhibition on the
counter, may be seen here to the bes
advantage, while the wonderful steam
cuttingmachines and other improved
labor-saying appliances used in the tailor
ing business, are constantly in operation.
The proprietor, Mr.. John Wanamakel
is also the senior member Of the firm 0
Wanamaker & Brown, of the celebrates
Oak Hall Clothing Store, Sixth and Marke
streets, and of the house of John Wana
maker e. Co., 8lS and $50 Chestnut street
this city These two establishments en-
ploy over a thousand hands, and do a
> immense business.
Mr. Wanamaker began business in lSG
with Mr.. Brown, under the now famor
firm name Of Wanamaker & Brown. I'll
