A MAD OLD HEN.

In1S Ii q tr1e STORY ABOUT q hen.
Tberewere twenty hens in Mr.. Penny's
yard, and some were white, and some
were black, and some we're gray. This
n was white and her name was Polly.
One day Mrs. Penny said to the girl
in the kitchen, NANCY, you may put
those ducks eggs under Polly White
and cover her with a basket"
- Polly was very young, and had
sat On any eggs before. She thought it
would be good fun; but when the basket
was put over her she felt as if she could
fly. 1t was not nice to be shut up in the
dark. And then she did get SO tiredI
1t takes only three weeks to hatch chick
ems, bnt it was four weeks before Polly's
ducklings came out of the shell.
And when they came out, how funny
they lookedl They were very large and
feet, and when they tried to walk they
waddled. Polly had never seen any
.ducklings before, and l suppose she
Thoughts these creatures were chickens.
They didnot look like other chickens, to
be sure, but she thought they were all
the nicer for that. - 80 : Ssffla ID
Mamie Penny came out laughing, and
set a pan of corn meal dough neal the
backdoer. Polly was very hungry, but
she would not touch one mouthful until
she had called her little ones to breakfast.
There werea twelve of them, and they
dipped in their little round bills like
spoons.
After breakfast they rolled up they
eyes, and1what doayou%suppose they
were thinking about? They were think
ing how much they wanted to swim.
Wa it not strange? How did they
know anything about swimming? They
had newer seen any water; they had
only seen the blue pump in the yard.
But they made up their little minds
that they would gos and find some
Now there wasaatpond behind the
barn, not very far of. Nobody told

WITH an average price per annum OF
$7.33, and an aggregate daily %circula-
ton Of 1851, 1877, the people of the
United States appear to pay out annually
the sum of $26, $50, loo. n for their daily
newspapers. These totals are subject to
certain obvious qualifications. Every
newspaper has a free list, more O less
large, the chief item of which is in its
exchanges. Allowance must also be
made for a small percentage of papers
printed regularly, but not sold or circu-
lated and including tear and waste. On
the other hand, and especially in the
large cities, a considerable per cent. of
the total circulation is disposed of by the
single copy at the retail price. While
the average cost to the annual subscriber
is 81 cents per copy, the average retail
price per copy for the country is nearly
At cents, the largest average for a State
being Nevada, where it is twelve cents,
and the lowest in Delaware, where it is
II cents per copy. It is probable that
the added cost of the papers sold at
retail is quite sufficient to offset the de-
auctions which are to be made in the
total cost given on account of the cause
enumerated. In the census year the
number of daily papers throughout the
United States was 962-morning, 1876;
evening, 526. OF this number New
York has lis, Pennsylvania SO, Illinois
70, California 81, Missouri AZ, Indiana
40, Massachusetts 35, Texas 80 and Viz
ginia 81, and so on, down to 8 in West
Virginia. During the year ia were
established and Sc suspended. The ave-
rage circulation was 2 800, and the aggre-
gate circulation 8 1851, 1S7. In the same
year there were $50 weekIies and 13s
Sunday papers running.

In the Philadelphia Times of recent
date, we notice an item referring to the
m~iraculously quick cure of a prominent
druggist: of that city, Mr.. J. N. Higgins,

who had an awful attack of rheumatism
of the knee. He applied st. Jacobs Oil
at night, and next morning was well and

But we must be true to our instincts OF
