A pen and ink wrestler has united a
book and let it loose upon the patient peo.
pie, which book bears tho title, How to
make $500 year from twelve hens" We
tried this getting rich out Of the hen busi.
ness last year, and while IL looks nice and
pretty in gilt letters on blue binding, to
save $500 year from twelve hens, our ex-
perience was different. We secnred last
spring collection OF six lady hens and
ono male companion. and put them 10 an
extensive hen pasture in tho rear Of our
premises. We figured il all out that with
six eggs day and occasional vacations.
which would be paid for in chickens. We
would soon have money enough to 60 TO
Europe, or run for Office. Early in the
season the brown Leghorn troops fought
nobly and We began to look around with
the idea OF getting safe TO put our egg
money in. just at this juncture corn
stepped up to 81 a bushel. and our hens
ceased laying aud turned all their atten-
tion to their appetite. -
During the interim Gntsrim is q word
that We found 10 the Office when We bought
it, one OF our hans had succeeded in pre-
senting to ths world dozen brown balls.
which Imagination told Us would make OK.
cellent chicken pies along in December.
Imagination lied to us however. for in less
than four weeks every one Of the little
brown darlings had been referred TO the
interior department of confounded skunk
and there was seven weeks loss 10 be
charged to that hens profit and loss &C.
connt We forbsar telling OF our midnight
rsmble in the dewey mazes Of our garden,
clad in modesty and night shirt, with q
revolver filed with 32lOO cartridges and
heart filed with animosity toward that
skunk. We draw . curtain over that
scene.
When fall came, and after We had
bought eggs to feed ourselves and corn to
feed to hens for while, We retired from
the hen business, and We have made up
our minds that it takes something more
than book and dozen Of hens to make
$500 year. or course there are hen ar
lists who can play the game for all il is
worth, asd make 1t pay; but for grsea-
horn TO think that twenty four hens are
worth cool thousand TO him il year il
folly. Ifyou can make hons Icy every day
and bring chickens up on bottle in some
secluded corner where skunks could not
get st them. il would pay for novices to
establish hen dairies. As il Is. however,
We novicss had better save our money from
buying such books as the one described to
bny eggs with. and let those who under.
stand egg harvesting do the work. There
is too much responsibility. too much get.
ing up nights 10 shoot skunks. and too few
sggs in tho business to offer inducements
to amateurs --MvnAou Iadependsnf

Thursday

Millinery Opening to-mor-
row and next day; and we
promised some particulars Of
it to-day.
| There will be eighteen
hats and bonnets from Paris,
and three or four hundred OF
our own make. There will
be flowers, and feathers, and
ornaments, and ribbons, and
gold-and-cashmere and other
laces and all the materials Of
millinery. And the inspira-
iton of them all has come d.
rect or indirect from the ira
ditional city Of fashion.
An Opening at SO early a
time of spring is not SO much
an exhibition Of the merchan-
disc Of fashion as of the fash
ion of merchandise, not SO
much of things done as of
the resources for doing. not
SO much of millinery ready
made as of readiness to
make. And yet three or four
hundred finished hats and
bonnets imply a great deal
of accomplished work. 1t is
the beginning of the millinery
season. Before the Opening
a lady buys neither hat nor
bonnet, unless a very safe
onc, or tor urgent occasion.
After the opening She knows
the DRIFT OF the styles, the
pet notions. the allowable
departures, the unpardunable
sins. Ectorc the Opening
one must accept in silence
the response OF the Oracle,
the authoritative lntcrprcta-
ton of the Unknown; and
the Voice is the NliIiincr's.
After the Opening one may
,cXtrci,c her own taste upon
! the abundant materials FASH
ion has spread OCT before her.
| tomorrow and nest day
will appear by the interest in
