The Hen as She Really Is.

Now there is another man who thinks
he knows how to make hens lay, and he
communicates the process to one of the
agricultural papers. 1t Is in the food, of
course. That's what all these idots say
When will the true nobility of hen be
understood? Hens are not machines.
They are reasoning, thinking beings. If
there is one sight more impressive than
another it is a hen thinking. If you
want to make hen lay get on her best
side. Work on her feelings. This can
be done by studying her nature and
learning her tastes. This accomplished,
90 to work to show her that you are her
friend, and not a grinding, grasping
lee ch, with no higher ambition than
worming eggs out of her. When a hen
sees that you love her and respect her
that you are truly her friend; that you
are in active sympathy with her reach
ing out for the undefnable in nature, she
will just turn her toes in, tighten her
jaws and fairly fill the entire atmosphere
with eggs. You can't lay for hen with
food tricks. A hen despises concealment.

THE Woman's Mining Bureau, of San
Francisco, had for its president an aunt
uf Clara Louise Kellogg, the singer.
The institution is intended to furnish fa
cilities for women to gamble in stocks,
but it is not a success, the women who
speculate preferring to operate in the
usual ways. The amount of stock gamb-
ling done in that city by women is rep
resented to be large. Laura ID. Fair is
one of the heavy and successful operators.
DURING the long French war, two old
ladies in Stranmaer, Scotland, were going
to the kirk. The one said to the other,
3" Was it not wonderful thing that the
British were aye victorious over the
French in the battle?" " No, not Bit"
said the other old lady, "dinna ye ken
the Breetish aye say their prayers before
gaen into battle?" The other replied,
" But Gamma the French say their prayers
as weel7 2" The reply was most charac-
teristic. Hoot, jubbering bodies, wha
could understand them?"
A sTUPIFIED editor who never notices
the fashions tries to be smart, and says:
(" The sweetest thing in bonnets is the
lady's lips" Oh, ignorance; not to know
that in the present style OF wearing tho
bonnet, it is farther away from the lady's
lips than it is from her feet. Why u
quiet, reserved, timid woman wears her
hat away aft, like a make shift rudder;
a fashionable woman builds n kind of
q platform out of her back hair and
hangs the bonnet on the rear end of IT,
and a real stylish, model hired girl carries
l.pole over her shoulder with the hat
,lung to the end of IL.

Two Stories.

A Massachusetts gentleman, just re-
turning from over the Canadian border,
tells us these stories: He was in the
hotel general-accOmmodation room,
when the two veterans of the (hoteI bar,
laying schemes for a dunk, began to tell
stories to each other for his benefit.
"Theee are awful hard times" said one.
81 never saw such times before, except
when was in Ohio, an then was hard
put to It to git along. Nothin' to do.
had a yoke of steers, but they want
earnin' nothin'. But / lived right on
the road the western emigrants went
over every day. So dug hole in the
road at the foot of the hill, near my
house, turned iivin' spring o. water in
to It, and made good mud-h hole. Well,
when the emigrants came along, every
day there would be one or more teams
stuck in my mud-hole, an they would
see nv steers standin' out doin' nothin'
an they would send up an git me to
come an help 'em out; an / alwuz
charged as much as $5 lift. Well,
KEEP that mud-hole right up in good re-
pair till | made $25, 900 out on It, and
then / sold it out for $4,000, an moved
up here" Story number two was the
ObQcI lOl
the woke of steers. When l was a-chop-
pin'-I could chop some, you know-an
folks used to ask me how much 1 could
do in a day. Have you ever tried iC?'
SAYS they. No, never says I never
but once, an that wasn't really a try.
You see, idst to show 'em wLat could
do, got up one winter mornin' afore
light, an ground up my ak sharp, oh,
jest as sharp, an went into the woods.
An l chopped like sixty till about three
O'Clock in the afternoon, when thought
it was as much as could pile afore sun
down, an went to pilin'. Well, when
l had it all piled up it measured twenty
seven cord. An then knew somethin'
was wrong, for knew at the rate 1 had
been chopin it ought to be more. So
1 went back an begun lookin' round to
see what the trouble was. An there,
right at the fust tree cut in the mernin'
was my ax-head. You see, the thing
was loose an slipped off, an 1 had been

Blue Glass. Il
The morning sun was rising fast
As down the street there quickly passed
A youth, who bore atop his head
Something that he gently said
Was Blu Glass.
His brow was sad, his hair beneath
Hung thin and scattery from its sheath
While on his smooth, bald pate were cast
The suns warm rays. as through they passed
The Blue Glass.
What's that you've got7" the old man cries
As peeping over specs he spies
I his new Invention for ehapeau.
The youth replies in tones quite low,
Blue Glass.
"Oh, dear" maiden said, Z" see here,
This is shave-pate, that's quite clear"
A tear stood in his bright blue eye;
He answered as he heaved sigh,
Blue Slass.
Look out don't bump your head, me boy
OR down will go that purity toy"
This was Biddy's farewell speech;
voice replied, almost a screeeh,
