A Queer Lot OF Hens,

At Tocoi, Florida, near Mrs. Hs,,;.,
Beechcr Stoves place, l came across !
queer lot of hens. They are educs,ss
hens. Two years ago the station ars rt
found an old stray hen in the deno,
He petted her, gave her chance /"
roost in an old barrel, and the old han
ate the kernels of grain which cove
the ground about all depots. When
the hen commenced to lay she came in.
to the station agent't office, and carefnl.
" laid her egg in basket which 81,
there on the table. The next day aha
repeated the act and continual
it daily until she got ready n
sit. When she sat she Matched out IA
chickens and raised them all, and now
these pullets have been taught by the
old hen to come into the house and Law in
the same basket. Sometimes one hen
will be sitting in the basket and two
others will stand outside and wait iii
she is through. When the basket Gets
full the agent takes it to the store
These fifteen chickens all roost in A
large empty barrel or tierce. The bar.
rel has both heads in it. In one end is
hole large enough for hen to walk
in, while in the other end is small
light OF glass. The barrel is five feet
from the ground, on legs, out Of the
way of the rats and skunks. 1t is the
cheapest and best little hen-house I
ever saw. 1t costs 20 cents. I believe
the lightest, driest, safest and best hen.
house in the world would be a tight
hogshead with 7x9 pane of glass in
one end and a 7x9 hole in the other.
Bore holes into it for the legs or hang
it on tree by small wires. A hogshead
or barrel hung in a tree will always be
safe against all the enemies of the hens.

The Bulls aud Bears.

As every one knows, the bulls favor
a higher prices, the bears lower prices.
The former go long of the market, that
is, they buy stocks with the expectation
that they will advance, but the bears go
short of the market, expecting prices
will go lower, so that they can make
money by delivering stocks at acheaper
rate than at which they sold them. On
the LIST of January, '79, to the "a OF
July, 81, when President Garfield was
shot. the bulls had the markets of the
country pretty much to themselves.
Property OF all kinds advanced In
price. and the bulls made vast fortunes
But the whole aspect OF things mas
changed since last summer. A shorter
crop not only give the bull movement
a pause. but began to send down prices,
aud the difference in market values, as
shown in the stock lists Of June, leSU,
June. 1881. and March, 1882, is some
thing enormous. The sum total repre-
seutS hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
The bulls are nov praying for a great
grain and cotton crop during the CON-
ing harvest season. Should we have
auy such Yields SIS VI had In I9 and
so. and a foreign war break out, We
would see a restoration Of the flash
times Of 20, 80 and the spring OF 81.
Should, however, there be 8 crop failure
this coming summer, II would lie a very
serious matter for the country. Demo

ALTERNATING Animals.

What we understand by the hibernat.
ing animals ought not strictly speaking
to be called Information, since it is pre-.
cisely analogous to that which is com.
mon in tropical countries during seasons
of intense heat. The Germans call one
"winter sleep and the other Summer
Sleep" There seems to be no essential
difference between the two states; nor
is there, in the opinion of most authori'
ties. any difference between the ordi-
nary sleep of an animal and its long
winter sleep, except that the latter is
the more profound. 1t is popular mis-.
take to suppose that the winter sleep OF
animals is due to extreme cold, since as
q matter of fact, almost all ALTERNATING
creatures go to sleep before the extreme
cold of winter sets in. Beside, as has
been said, precisely similar phenome..
non it met with in the torrid regions OF
the earth. Mr.. Darwin in his Journal
says: poh;o
Blanca, Sept. 7, we thought nature had
granted scarcely living creature 10
This sandy and dry country. By dig

Mormon DeSpOtiSnl.

The first colony that went to Utah
was composed Of only few hundred
people now the church claims that it
rules some 100000 followers in the
Territory. The first corners had a
large per centage of Americans, who
were drawn into the tolls before the
full enormities of the institution were
divulged, but of those who connected
themselves with the Mormon church dur
ing the past thirty years, many are from
the very lowest classes OF the society
of Europe. The immigration has in
creased from few hundred annually
10 few thousand. Last year more than
5000 came, and this year heavy in
crease over that number is expected.
The children of school age, as returned
by the Mormon authorities, number
10000. Those too young to attend
school, together with those above school
age and still under the age of 20 years,
must number quite 10000 more. 1t
is clear that the Mormon kingdom in
Utah is composed of foreigners and the
children OF foreigners. 1t is neces-
sarily so. 1t is an institution SO abso-
lutely un-American in all its require
ments that it would die of its own i'll
famies within twenty wears, except for
the yearly infusion of fresh serf blood
from abroad. Few Americans could
ever be made to bear the unquestioned
and unquestioning obedience which is
exacted from this people. The Gov
eminent is an absolute despotism.
Every ward in the city, every small
precinct il the country, is under the
control of a bishop. To him the peo-
pie have TO submit all their affairs,
temporal as we'll as spiritual. His adj
vice amounts TO a command which must
be obeyed. The bishops report to the
elders, the elders to the seventies, the

Mems Names---liOw Surnames Have
Originnted-.-An Interesting study.

The study of mems names is rs curl
GUS Us it is interesting. Arbitrary a.
they seem to-day, they oil had theil
source evidently in some fitting fact
Many English surnames express the
comfy. estate or residence OF their orig
inal bearers, as Burgoyne, from Bur-
Rundy; Cornell or CORVALLIS, from
Cornwall; Fleming from Flanders;
Gaskin and Gascoyne, from Gascony
Halfway, from Hainault; Polack, from
Pollard; Welsh, Walsh and Wallace from
Wales; Coombs, Compton, Clayton,
Sutton, Preston, Washington, from
towns in the county of Sussex, England.
Camden, the antequGry, says every VII
lage in Normandy has surnamed some
English family. Dale, Forest, Ill.,
Wood, and the like, are derived from
the character or situation OF those VINO
first bore the names. The prefix, ate,
or at. softened to or an, has helped
to form number of names. Thus, II
man lived on a MOORE. he would call
himself Afternoon. or Atmoor; if near
a gate, Attegate, or Agate. John OF
the Oaks. was in due time shortened
into John Noaks; Peter at the Seven
Oaks, into Peter Shocks. BY field,
BY ford, Underhill and Underwood, in
dicated residence originally. In old
English applegarth meant orchard;
whence Apologize and Appleton; chase,
q forest; Give, cliff; clough, ravlne;
cobb, harbor; whence these names.
The root of the ubiquitous Smith, Is
the Anglo Saxon Snlit0'', to smlte. 1t
was applied primarily to blacksmiths,
wheelwrights, carpenters, masons, and
smiters or strikers in general. Baker,
Taylor, Cowper Cooper, Cutler, Miller,
and the rest, plainly denote occupa'
tons. Latimer is from LGttner, VIII.
ter of Latin. Lorimer is maker OF
spurs and bridle-bits; Arkwright,
maker of chests; Lander, contracted
from LGUdmdieT, u washerwoman; Ban
lister, the keeper of bath; Kidder,
huckster; Wait, minstrel; Crocker
potter. Such names as Baxter and
Bagster, are the feminine OF baker;
of webber, or a0eGuer, which
shows that these trades were tlrst fol-
lowed by women, and that when men
began to take them up they, for some
lime, kept the feminine names-Stew-
ard Stewart, or Stuart Abbot, knight,
Lord. Bishop, Prior, Chamberlain, fal
,oner, Leggett Qegate) either slgnlfied
what the persons so styled were, or
hey were given them III jest or dorl,

keeper of the town cattle.
Woodward, forest-Keeper. Read, Reed,
Reid, is an old form of spelling red,

Black were, to denote the color worn or
had. Hogarth, from the
Dutch, means generous, high natured;
iush, is subtitle; Browne, ready; Bon
Ter, kind, gracious; Eldridge, Wild
chastity. Many Welsh names, natural,
zed in English, are from personal
rats, More, great; Duff, black;
Vaughan, little; Lane slender; Mole,

pparently meaningless, had meaning

Heller, the Magician, and Cora Pearl.
Chicdqo Tribune.

JhtcuN0 IFtOuHe.
Crouch, the author of " Kathleen Mavour-
neen and many other popular songs, is now
a cabinet maker in Baltimore, and has been
there for years. Robert Heller's father wa.
the organist of Canterbury cathedral, and in
the little town Of that name Henry Palmer
(RObert Heller) went TO school in company
with a neighbours little daughter, and as boy
and girl they were little sweethearts. This
early love of the great magician was named
Fanny Crouch, aud her father was a musical
genius who became quite celebrity among
his townfolk by his songs, attaining much
fame In after time by his kathleen Ma
vourneen." Heller had been before the pub
lie long time when he drifted to Paris.
There he beheld the dashing equipage and
gorgeous costumes of Cora PEARL the motor
ious, daily upon the street. Being struck
with something familiar i'm her face, he fol-
lowed her into = shop one day to obtain a
nearer view of this celebrity. Suddenly she
turned, met his gaze, and inst antly came for
wa with outstretched hands. II was Fam
ny Crouch, his little schoolmate. In this
country Heller came across the unhappy IA
tber and composer. He was working at the
cabinet making business in Baltimore, where
Heiler's father-in-law resided. Crouch was
not tramp nor in poverty; he preferred the
oblivion Of workshop In America TO his old
home and friends-no doubt through shame
for his daughters conduct. Those Canter-
bury people are strange lot. In poor Mr.
Crouch's case the knowledge that Cora Pearl
was native of that stiff cathedral town was
a thing to conceal and be ashamed of. But
it was different with Robert Heller. He be-
came famous as a magnificent pianist and the
foremost magician Of his time; that made
no difference his family were Mortified at
his career. One sister married a mutton
headed country squire and settled at Seven
Oaks, and when Robert died was wild with
fear lest the pumpy little Canterbury paper
would get hold of and publish the fact that
Robert Heller, lamented all over America,
was ole and the same with Henry Palmer,
son of the Canterbury organist. II seemed
very strange TO me, with the eulogies and
praises of the American papers yet in my
mind, the famous entertainers greatness
fresh before me, to hear little bit Of an in
significant old woman, whose husband re-
sembled "Solon Single" entreat that no
mention of the dead brothers Identity with
Robert Heller should be made, that the
"dr-adful secret" should be kept.

Thousand Dollar Shawls.



Few of the real Indian shawls sre called
for. One of the larger houses Sc lis not more
than dozen such shawls In o year, and
these are the cheaper ones that is, the shawls
the prices of which are under . thousand
dollars. One good reason is, that the wearer
of real Indian shawl does not get the credit
of it. So few are worn, and so many limit ate
SO well, the real Indian is not recognized.
1t Is said that in the manufacture Of Indian
shawls not the slightest improvement has
been made since Napoleon introduced them
into Europe by sending one to Josephine.
The wool of the shawl Is obtained from the
inner hair Of the Thibet goat. 1t is clesnsed
in rice W alter to add strength, and spun by
women. Each loom produces about five
shawls in q year. Victoria rings tribute out
of these poverty-striken weavers in certain
number of shawls yearly.
II is said that native Indian shawls have
been imported TO repair shawls and change
centers to suit the wearers. The shawls are
made in pieces and put together so deity
that the seams can not be found except by
an expert. In the aggregate great many
Indian shawls are imported, but are sold
chiefly in the large cities, where they are
kept in stock, and the purchaser in smaller
city will 60 there to buy them in order to
select from number. Generally the de-
mand has been active this year and a great
many have been sold.
