Staggering YOnng Ladies.

Mrs. II. w. Beecher in the Christian In
ion thus pleads with the girls-and their
parents-to guard against the tendency to
low language and *free-and- easy" behav-
ior:
The necessity of shielding children from
the contamination of low associates and
from the habits which such companionship
will surely bring is of the utmost impor-
lance. Low expressions-"s lang phrases, !"
as they are termed-will be one Of the first
fruits. A "free-and- easy" way of talking
and acting among strangers in the streets
or stores, and at last ventured upon at home
will be the next. These two most Often
sive habits generally 60 hand-in- hand, and
very strangely, unless we look at it as an
evidence of natural deprayity, are eagerly
caught up by the young.
With girls, especially, if they are allowed
to use such slang phrases, other unfemin-
inc traits will soon follow; often a course.

ladylike carriage that indicates refinement
and modesty.

as lawful victims OF insult and ribaldry.

A Cat That Has Hatched Twenty One Broo1ls
of Chickens.

ACat That Has Hatched Twenty One Broods
of Chickens.
A New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer tells of cat owned by Thomas Loen-
ard. a South Brooklyn mason, which is now
sitting upon nest of eggs, on Thursday after
noon Matched out two chickens, making the
twenty first brood that she has Matched. The
cat is brindle, and is about three years old.
She had one litter of kittens before she began
to hatch chickens, but since she has usurped
the place of q her she has refused the company
of all other cats. About two years ago the cat,
which is christened libby, found q warm rest
ing place in the nest of setting hen when the
hen had gone to hunt food, and became so fond
of it that it refused to surrenderit There was
fight when the hen returned, and the cat was
the victor, the hen retiring from the contest
with one eve scratched out The cat warmed
the eggs every day faithfully, leaving the nest
on'y for . meal, and soon Matched out the
chickens From all of the twenty broods, num-
bering about fifty chickens, the cat has raised
about twenty one. The maternal care the ami
NAL exhibited for the chickens was constant
surprise She followed. with her eyes the
movement of every chick, and when it strayed
too far she stepped softly after it, picked it up
by the back Of the neck and returned it to the
upon her back, took chicken between her
paws and played with it. As soon as one brood
of chickens was born she seemed restless until
new nest of eggs was provided for her. At
the same time she kept an eye upon the last
brood, which she warmed beneath her fur at
night in the same nest with the eggs
The chickens recognized the cat as their
mother, and when she left the cage in which
she was kept they ran chirping after her. The
cat defended them against another cat, and es-
pecially against hog. Her grown-up chickens
libby never failed to recognize and tie men,
DRY Of their feline mother did not seem to de-
sert the pullets She played with one Of her
chickens until it was three or four months old,
and always seemed to welcome it when it came

or feels the first throb Of life in the she'll Then
she draws the quickened egg to point in the
nest where she can both warm and set, and if
the chick in pecking its way through the shell
needs any assistance, she helps break its coy
ering with her teeth. she has now two chicks
day old and two that are about a week old
She hugs them about her in her nest, and if
one hops out she steps after it, bears it down

We have jus. got wind of a little love al
fair which ia said to have cost yong man
in Thornville one hundred and twenty-five
dollars, which he preferred paying rath-
ther than being sued for the affections of
one of the gentle sex. The report run
about this way: AbUnt year ago this
young Thornvillian made the acquains
tance of one Of Somersets fair maids
The acquaintanceship grew into love and
finally both he arts melted and the Thorn
william proposed marriage to The young
lady which she accepted. Things went
smoothly along until a couple of months
ago when for some cause or other the
attractions of the young lady grew dim in
the eyes Of the young man and he conclu-
ded to kick, and kick he did. But the
young dansel let him kick, as she had

We call attention to the advertiser
in another column of Mound City" and
Big Giant" feed mill manufactured by J.
A. Field & Co., ~. Louis, Mo- The big
Giant" has become 30 well known in the
United States, Territories and Canada, as
we'll as many foreign countries, that it is
unnecessary to add further comment
The Mound City" is exactly the same in
cru hing parts, while the grinders are en-
larged and improved as to greatly ir.
crease the capacity of the mills, as well as
to adapt it to the reception of steel grin
ders, and greatly lessen the cost of the
grinding parts so that when mill is worn
out. grinders can be replaced at half the
price of other mills. The grinding capac-
ity in fine grinding, as well as grinding
oats aud small grain, has been nearly
doubled, swithouts diminishing crush
ing abilities. Manufactures claim to
make the only iaill crushing and grinding
corn and cob with sweep power, with cast
steel Cylinders, and propose if they have
oPpoi " pioNC tDlS ny dC-
tual test, to give a mill for half price to
the purchaser furnishing the opportunity
to make the test
These manufacturers claim to make the
only mill with seive attachment az well as
he only practical mil! for grinding corn
and cob, nide for belt power. The prin-
cipal features that go to make their mills
superior to all others, are the device for
taking up the and their crushing
blades, which make the mill wear much
longer, and do equal amount of work
with one half the power. Over. twenty
FIVE manufacturers and dealers in different
parts of the country have been prosecuted
to 6nal settlement for infringing these pat
ents features, and ask any one desiring TO
purchase a mill, to not purchase mill
having crushing blades of any other make
if they wish protection in the use of same.
Send to manufacturers for circulars and
