MANAGEMENT OF SITTING HENS.

Quite frequently hen will commence
to sit in a place not desirable or suitable
for the purpose. Generally, early in the
season, 1t is on the nest where she, to-
gether with her mates, have deposited
their first eggs, and is subject to more or
less disputes as to the right of owner
ship, in which the eggs suffer and many
arc broken After the hen has once
thoroughly determined to sit, it il better
to prepare separate nest ut some dis
tance and in another apartment, and at
night remove her and keep her confined
on the nest day or two until familiar
with the surroundings. For the first two
or three times, she should be taken of
from the nest, and food and water placed
near by where she may eat and drink,
after which she will generally return with
little or no hesitation. Brahmas are easi-
ly moved when sitting, as are nll those
having any of the Brahmn blood, but the
majority of other breeds are shy and
more tenacious of the old place.

moving Dominiques from the original
nest, but Games are tractable to n GER

ings, for they are shy sitters at best and
easily broken up. They do better to
steal their nests, when they make the
very best of mothers. Indeed, they much
resemble the turkey IN quietude of move
ment Without appearing restless or IN
easy, they will wander farther than any
other domestic fowl with which am fa-
miliur. They are no scratchers, are
quiet, hardy, and excellent layers, while
their flesh is unsurpassed for table pur-
poses. Like the majority of our fine and
useful birds, they are IL little tender III
cold weather, and require comfortable
quarters and steady attention.
Every breed possesses some good quail

READABLE SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING THE
MORNING MEAL.
lFrom Harper's Bazaar.

MORNlSG Ml-All-
From Harpers Bazarl
What should breakfast be? Simply, as
the name implies, the fast-breaking. Or,
as the Germans call it, FruhstUck, the
"early morsel." The French, indeed, re-
duce their early morsel to mere cup of
coffee or chocolate, taken on rising, and
this suffices them until noon brings the
breakfast with knife and fork, which is,
indeed, luncheon Of many courses, with
fruit and wine But this artificial habit
doubtless grew out of the late hours of
the people, and does not commend itself
to a simpler existence.
The English, on the other hand, from
whom We derive our substantial meal,
break their fast with plenty and elabora-
ton. The kissing urn stands in n solid
prosperityat one end of the board, the tea
ALWAYS made upon the table, distils its
most fragrant essence within the ugly but
useful ''cosv" at its feet coffee or choco-
late steams in shining or silver pot.

hvated Hindoo prince, being a guest at

that apeople loving such vulgar profusion
of coarse food could never become civil

SAVE THE OLD PAPER.-Never throw
away old paper. If you have no wish to
cell it, use it in the house. Some housekeep-
ers, prefer it to cloth for cleaning many
articles of furniture. For instance, a volume
written by a lady who prided herself on her
experience and tact, says, after stove
has been BACKED, it can be kept looking very
well for long time by rubbing it with paper
every morning Rubbing with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the outside OF a
tea-kettle, coffee pot and teapot bright ard
clean than the old way of washing them in
suds. Rubbing with paper is also the best
way of polishing knives, tinware and spoons;
They shine like new silver, For polishing
mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, etc,
paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves
and pickles keep much better if brown
paper, instead of cloth, is tied over the jar.
Canned fruit is not so apt TO mold if piece
Of writing paper. cut TO fit the can, is laid
directly ON the fruit Paper is much better
to put under carpet than straw. II IS
warmer. thinner, and makes less noise when
one walks over it.

Washington. Dec. 5-Rev. Mr.. Power
who was elected chaplain Of the house
met with republican opposition, and this
alarmed him. Last summer in sermon
he referred to political influences rs lead
ing to assassins and said: Had there
been no stalwart contest against the ex-
ecutive prerogative there would have
been 10 such assault upon the presidents

shameless, bitter, inhammatory attacks
of those who have only personal ends to
serve, and who were dissatisfied with ex-
ecutive action. not because it affected
the interests Of the country, but because
it was not in accord with their own pre-
cious counsel. 1t is not the act Of an ir-
responsible madman. The murderous
report of Guiteaus pistol on the ID of
