Mr.. Joseph Medll, of the Chicago Tribune,
has projected a valuable invention. He pro
poses to arrange a rubber stamp in the nest Of
every hen, with movable date. This stamp
Is arranged with a pad, which Is saturated
with indelible ink When the hen lays an egg,
AS is well known she kicks slightly with her
hind leg. An electric disk is arranged so that
her foot touches 1t, when the strap turns over
to the ink pad, and then revolves, stamping the
date on the egg. The hen then goes about her
business, the farmers hired girl removes the
egg and replaces the stamp, which is ready
for another. On each evening, after the hens
have retired to their downy roost with The
ROSTERS, the date of the stamp is change to
The following day, and the good work goes on.
In this way there can be no cheating, You go
to the grocery and ask for fresh eggs, aud the
grocery man says he has some eggs of the VIM
tage of January 2Sth, 1880, for Instance. You
look al them and there are the figures, which
cannot lie With this method it is an OBJECT
for the man to get rid of his eggs, knowing
that to morrow may be too late.-.Vil'cdukee

dow Van Colt at a camp,meetng, This blped
is the pet OF Il young lady of this village. She
has taught the hen to accompany her as she
sings the hymn, and the pullet does it with u
vim, a gravity, and proprlety really credtable
to poultry nature. She has only to start the
melody, when the pullet JOINS IN and sings
along with her to the end, following the scale
and mindng the rests in way that would de-
light the most eXactng choirmaster; and what
is more, and to the hens credit don't gggle
during the rehearsal, nor tlirt, nor eat peanuts

Why The German Is Uneasy,

The German military law is an extremely
simple one it ohliges every man to he en-
rolled for three years on actice servive, and t
pass four years in the reserves and five in thu
landwehr After that the soldier enters tn,
landsturm, and remains IN it so long rs he Cal
bear arms, but he is only liable to be calleC
out in case his country Is invaded. The an
nual contingent for which subsidies are voted
by the parliament Is of about 144, 900 men ane
the troops are divided into four great inspeG
tsrates, which are again subdivided into sen
enteen army corps. In time of peace the mill
tary establishment consists, broadly speaking
tilery, and $4,000 engineers, but when the I'm
perial armies are modified for war we get q
grand total of nearly 100000 soldiers On
the war footing the infantry alone Is reckoned
at las 600
The weakness Of Germany resides, first, IN
Its real isolation rs q great power, and, next
in the discomfort of its people 1t fought q
duel single handed with France, and was vic.
torious; but it could never go to war again
without having several enemies to contend
with, and, consequently, large odds against it,
If it fought Austria, France would declare
against it; if it attacked France, Russia would
move; If it quarrelled with England, it mlght
possibly have to contend with a coalition of
half q dozen powers. AS to the martial sentl-
ments Of the Germans individually, they have
no very ardent except among the arlstocracy,
whose members hold the best commissions in
the army and fill all the state posts worth hav.
ing. The ordinary German-the tradesman,
professor, peasant or work man loahes the uni
form he Is compelled to wear and if sent to
war, returns to grumble that he has wasted his
time lost his health and earned no adequate
remuneration.
In some districts of Germany where Social
ist papers are much read military service in
spires such horror that every year at the ap-
proach of p,ionday young men start off
by the hundreds to France or England, or emil,
CRATE to America, whence they send tantaliz-

This was Saturday, Julia was out of school

questions about my falling into the river al
