Sex in Epns.

A correspondent of the London
Journal of Horticulture says in
reference to this question: Last
winter an old poultry keeper told
me he could distinguish the sex in
eggs. l laughed at him, and was
none the less skeptical when he
told me the following secret: Eggs
with the air bladder in the centre
of the crown of the egg will pro
duce cockerels; those with the
bladder on one side will produce
pullets. They oil man was so GER
tain of the truth of the dogma, and
his poultry yard so confirmed it,
that l determined to make expert
ments upon it this year. l have
done so, carefully registering the
egg bladder vernacular or bladder
on one side, rejecting every one
which was not decidedly one or the
other, as in some it is very slightly
out of the centre. The following is
the result: ty-eight chickens
were Matched; three are dead. and
eleven are yet too young to decide
upon their sex; of the remaining
forty four, every one turned out
true TO the old mans theory. This,
of course, may be an accidental Co
incidence, but / shall certainly try
the experiment again.

Marry a Gentlemen.

1t was excellent advice l saw
lately given to young ladies, urging
them to marry only gentlemen, OF
not marry at all. The word was
used in its broadcast, truest sense
1t did not have reference to those
who had fine raiment and white
hands, and the veneering of society
polish, merely to entitle them to
the distinction, but to those poss
essed OF true, manly, and noble
qualities, however hard their hands
and sun-broWned their faces. A
man who is a bear at home among
his sisters, and discourteous to his
mother, is just the man to avoid
when you come to the great ques-
ton which is to be answered yes or
no. A man may be ever so rustic
IN his early surroundings, if he be
a true gentleman he will not bring a
blush to your check in any society
by his absurd behavior. There is an
instructive, politeness inherent in
such a character, which everywhere
commands respect, and makes its
owner pass for what he is-one of
natures noblemen. Do not de-
spair, girls; there are such men
still in the world. You need not
all die old maids. But wait till the
prince passes by. No harm in a
DELAY.

Small Means.

The power of money is on the
whole over estimated. The great
est things which were done for the
world have not been accomplished
by rich men, or by subscription
lists but by men generally of small
pecuniary means. The great think
ers, discoveries, inventors, aud ar
fists have been men of moderate
wealth, many of them little raised
above manual laborers, in point OF
worldly circumstances. And it
will always be so. Riches are of
tener an impeachment than stimu-
lus to action; in many cases they are
quite as much a misfortune as 8
blessing. The youth who inherits
wealth is apt to have life made too
easy for him, and soon he grows
stated with it, because he has nothing
left to desire. Having no special
object to struggle for, he finds
time heavy on his hands, remains
mentally and morally asleep, and
his position in society is often no
higher than that of a polypus over
which the tide floats.

Our Young People
DisobeyinQ Orders.

1t is a rule that workman must
follow his employers orders, but no
one has a right to make him do
work discreditable to himself =
Judge NJ -, well known jurist,
living near Cincinnati, loved to tell
this anecdote of a young man who
understood the risk of doing shah
by job, even when directed to: He
once had occasion to send to the
village after a carpenter, and a
sturdy young fellow appeared with
his tools.
II want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some I'M
planed boards-use them. 1t is out
of sight from the house, so you
need not take time to have it neat
job. will pay you dollar and a
half"
The Judge then went to- dinner,
and coming out found the man care
fully planning each board. Suppos-
ing that he was trying to make a
costly job of it, he ordered him to
nail them on at once, just as they
were, and continued his STROLL
When he returned the boards were
all planed and numbered, ready for
mailing.
81 told you that this fence was to
be covered with vines" he said
angrily. 81 do not care how it ap-
pears"
81 do" said the carpenter, gruffly,
carefully measuring his plans
When it was finished there was no
part of the fence so thorough in
finish.
"How much do you charger in
quired the Judge.
"a dollar and half" said the
man, shouldering his tools.
The Judge stared. ''Why do you
spend all that labor on the job, If
not for money!
"For the job, SIR
'Nobody would have seen the
poor work on it."
''But l should have known it was
there. No, I'll only take a dollar
and half" and he took it and went
away.
Ten years afterward the Judge
had the contract to give for the
building of several magnificent
public buildings. There were many
applicants among master builders,
but the face Of one caught his eye.
1T was my man of the fence" he
said. II knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. L
gave him the contract, and it made
a rich man of him."
1t is pity that boys were not
taught in their earliest years that
the highest success belongs only to
the man, be he carpenter, farmer,
author or artist, whose work is most
sincerely and thoroughly done.

A correspondent who has studied
the various types at Old Point
Comfort, Virginia, says that the
New England girl wears a blue
flannel suit, a broad brimmed hat,
scarlet stockings and yellow san
dals, lives in boat, and is as brown
a berry. The Philadelphia girl
likes tennis and languages, is chary
of too wide circle of acquaintance

topic of conversation. Baltimore
girls are pretty and bright, and wear
lovely clothes. Louisville girls are

are the handsomest women in the

covering over the seed. The fruit
is about as large as a peach. When
ripe it breaks open and shows a lit
tie nut inside. The trees grow on
the islands of Asia and tropical
America. They bear fruit for sew
enty or eighty years, having ripe
fruit upon them all the seasons. A
fine tree in Jamaica has over 1000
nutmegs on it every year. The
Dutch used to have all the nutmeg
trade, as they owned the Banda Is
lands, and conquered all the other
traders and destroyed the trees. To
keep the price up they once burned
three piles of nutmegs, each of
which was as big as church. Ma
ture did sympathize with such
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon,
found in all the Indian Islands, did
for the world what the Dutch deter
mined should not be done-carried
those nuts, which are their food, in
to all the surrounding countries,
and trees grew again, and the
world had the Leslie.

A noteworthy fact of the census
statistics is the distribution of the
sexes in city and country popula-
tons. In the aggregate of the ma
ton the males exceed the females
by nearly million, yet in the fifty
largest cities there are several hun
dred thousand fewer males than
females. The large cities attract
women by the amount and variety
of manufacturing work they furnish,
and to this influence is added that
OF the rowing dispositions of men,
leading them to new places in search
of the means of livelihood.

Robert Burns married a farm

while they worked together in 6

Milton married the daughter of 8
country squire, and lived with hel
but q short time. He was an austere
literary recluEe, while she was n rosy,
romping country lass, who could
not endure the restraint imposed
upon her, so they separated. Sub
sequently, however she returned
and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince AL
bert were cousins, rare example

archs wherein the marital vows
were sacredly observed and sincere
affection existed.

Washington married woman

to say she was worthy of him, and
they lived as married people should
live-in perfect harmony with each
other.
John Adams married the daugh-
ter of a Presbyterian clergyman.

An old Kentuckian says: "In all
my life l have never seen too genu-
inc negro women kiss, and l have
often heard my father remark the
same thing. He was over sixty
years old, and frequently told us it
was a tradition through all his fami-
ly that the negro women never
kissed. A friend of mine, who has
been a great traveller, who has visited
Africa and Hayti, has remarked to
me the strange fact that negro wo-
men never kiss. Why is it?''

There is one man in Mi chigan, in

The barrel head caved in under him
then the barrel upset and rolled

There are but few places in the
United States where water is more
valuable than petroleum. Garfield,

perhaps the only such locality
There is no water, and the supply
for human existence has to be

from town. 1t costs sixty cents q
barrel, while oil is only worth fifty
six, and the water vendors will not
give q barrel of water for q barrel
