Ne,o York Mail and Express.
There is a lively demand for thor
oughbred fowl. Dealers are doing an
unusually large business in eggs fol
Matching. The better varieties bring
S1.5o to 81 per setting of thirteen eggs.
In exceptional cases as high as $40 per
setting has been paid. Fancy-bred
cockerels and biddies command cores
pondingly high prices in sets. Just
now Wyandottes are the rage. Fine
specimens of fancy fowl range in value
from $40 to S1oo per trio. The best
are produced in Massachusetts,, Connec-
ticut and this State.
Samuel J. Tilden is one of the most
extensive amateur breeders of fancy
barnyard fowl. He has all varieties of
turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, etc.
His collection embrace about three
hundred chickens, it is said. He has
named one little bantam, who is partic-
ularly pugnacious, John Kelley. VIM.
H. Vanderbilt is a new buyer. His
most noteworthy purchase was at the
late chicken show, at which he paid SIS
fora pair white-crested black Polands
from Ohio. Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er will talk chickens for hours at time.
His favorite breed are the Leghorns
and he buys as many as 400 and soc
eggs in batch for Matching in the incu-
batorS on his farm up the Hudson.

She "Hankered'' for q Bigger
House.

/, Te:,as Sytings.
'sI wouldn't build a much of house
if was you, Bill. Wouldn't have any
spare room. Just enough for our family,
for I tell you my friend, wherever you
put up martin gourds the martins are
sure to come. I've been all along that
road, and tell you its better to be lone
some thanto be run over with company.
"Don't you remember, Bill, when I
had my little three room house, and
was runnln' my little store, and maxim
little passel of filthy lucre, so called,
and me and wife was right happy and
didn't knowit, and wife sorter hankered
after bigger house and I wanted to
swell little too, and so l strained my
credit and swapped off the little house
for finer one with seven rooms, and
give my note for three thousand dol
lars to boot, and then wife wanted a
bay window built, and another coat of
paint and some new furniture, and our
low country kin come up to spend the
summer, and wife give parties and
swarray to their gals, and it was dance
AIT @ride and frolic, and eat and cook
and sleep, and wife's little love letters
come up to the store for something or
other a dozen times day, and at night
1 was tired and sleepy and powerful
blue, for l could not see my way ou. of
all this business, and wife said l must
set up with the company, and I had to
do it, for they were all over the house,
and mighty nigh under it and on top of
it, and they wore me out before the
summer was over. When we had our
little house l could take off my coat and
shoes, and lazy around, and stick my
feet up on the banisters and do as l
pleased but wife said that wouldn't
do now, and so l done my best to
please her; and by and by my trade fell
off and l couldn't meet my notes, and
the feller sued me, and matters got
worse and worse, and I saw the big
house had to go, and I went all around
town trying to sell it, but nobody want
ed. it then, and there was sort of money
Sanic in the land. l couldn't sell it at
C0rnr a1ong urIvi sviI - .-.-7- -
"No, Bill, I wouldn't put up them
martin gourds. If they don't ruin yon
they will bring power of discomfort
and make you wish you could find a
lodge in some wilderness-alo lonely roost
in some Okeefenokee swamp. You are
getting old, Bill, and can't stand it.
Wife and have got back to the two-room
cottage now, and we are happy. Low
country kin are a very good thug and
I love 'em, but they don't know how
poor we are unless we live in a poor
house. l tell you, my friend, that one
of the most pitiful spectacles in all ma
ture is poor man with a rich mans
ways. If he don't live in hell, he does
purgatory, for I've tried it. Don't
build much of house, William, for the
Lords S sake"

Sunshine for SIeepless People.

Sleepless people-and there are many
in nAmerica-should court the sun. The
very worst soporifc is laudanum, and
the very best sunshine. Therefore, it
is very plain, poor sleepers should
pass as many hours as possible in the
sun. Many women are martyrs, and do
not know it. They shut the sunshine
out of their houses and their hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols,
they do every possible thing to keep off
the subtlest and yet tmost potent influence
which is intended to give them strength
and beauty and cheerfulness. Is it not
time to change this, and SO get color
and roses in your pale cheeks, strength
in your weak back, and courage in our
timid souls? The women of America
are pale and delicate they may be
blooming and strong, and the sunlight
will be potent influence in the change,

Advice to Husbands.

You have no right to take the plea
sures of home without also taking its
responsibilities. You owe something
TO your children besides food, shelter,
clothing and education. He who gives
them only this makes his house only a
half-orphans' asylum. Every father
ought to father his own children. The
evening hour ought to be the children's
hour. l know you have come home
tired; know the day has been one
long battle, and that you are weary
with questions to beanswered and prob
lens to be solved. But 1 also know
that the best way to lay down business
cares is to take up home cares; that the
best way to keep young is to give an
hour each day after supper to the child
ren-to their sport, their studies, their
life-problems and their life joys. He
that giveth his life shall save it. But
were it is otherwise, is is unheroic, un
chivalric, cowardly, to run away and
leave all the cares of the children at
night on the same shoulders which have
borne them all the day. You owe
something else to your wife than a
honse and money to keep it going.
You owe this to a house-keeper. To
leave her every evening and go off to
the gossip of your club or of the village
store is not keeping your promise to
leave all others and cleave only unto
her. To leave her to sit in loneliness
while the lazy clock ticks the hours
away is not keeping your promise to
comfort and cherish her. When you
took her from her fathers home you
bound yourself to provide her with a
new one, and you do not fulfill that
pledge in providing her cell, however
luxurious it may be, for the lonely life
of married old maid. No wife ought
to be left home by her husband to be a
nun. Put yourself in her place. Send
her off for a week on visit; spend
your evenings alone-six of them will
be enough for an experiment-and see
how you like it. Or if you cannot
persuade her to desert you for week,
though you have deserted her for many
a week, perhaps many amonth, imagine
her going off to her club, her sewing
circle, her gossip with neighbor,
night after night, leaving you to sit
alone in you solitary room-a married
old bachelor. How would you like it7
Why is not sauce for the goose sauce
also for the gander2 How does your
life look to you when measured by the
Golden Rule Are you doing to the
one you profess to love best as you
would have her do to you?

The Love of God.

Like cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro
Like a mothers sweet looks falling
On the little face below
Hangs the green earth, swinging, rocking,
Jarless, noiseless, safe and slow,
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best.
So when we are weak and wretched,
By our sorrows weighed, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves us best.
great heart of God whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed;
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost
Love Divine! of such great loving,
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love, which, all love passing,
Gave Son to save the lost

An Interesting water Power Suit


Solomon Goldman is the owner of
a mill on a small creek in Lehigh Coun-
ty, Pa, and Enos Eidman and Jacob
Geisinger are the owners of another
mill on the same creek, some distance
further up the stream. The latter COM
planned that the mill dam of the lower
mill was so constructed as to cause the
water in the creek to back up at GER
the upper mill and impede its action.
Messrs. Eidman and Geisinger com
menced suit in the Common Pleas of
Lehigh County against Mr.. Goldman to
obtain redress for their grievances. At
the trial it appeared that both mills
had been owned by John Romig, who
sold them in the year 1913 to Christian
and Peter Young, who in the same
year, by amicable proceedings in parti-
ton, divided the property, Peter Young
taking the upper mill and AZ acres of
land, and Christian Young the residue
of the track, including the lower mill
and the water course. The present
owners derive title from this source.
In 1S43 freshet destroyed the lower
dam, and before it was rebuilt former
parol understanding as to the heigth of
water was reduced to writing, and a
certain stone in the stream named as a
water-mark, the water not to be allowed
to rise to a depth of more than four
inches aboveit. The dam was construct
ed. and has not been altered up to the
present time. The defendant practi-
cally admitted that the agreement had
been made, but held that the dam hav
ing been built and the basement enjoy
ed for more than twenty-one years, he
had obtained right by prescription.
The Court below charge the jury that
if the defendant for a continuous period
of twenty. one years had maintained a
height of water of more than four inches
over the stone or water-mark, his right
was established. The jury found for
plaintiffs, and the defendant removed
the case to the Supreme Court. 1t has
Just been held by the Court, in an opin-
ion by Clark, Justice, that the lower
Court erred in adopting the changeable
height of water over stone as stand
ard and should have charged the jury
that if the dam or obstruction had been
maintained for more than twenty-one
years at its present height, the right by
prescription to enjoy the easement was
established. Judgement reversed.
sgA gentleman in Richmond, Va,
had servant named Joe. One morn
ing he layed in bed till nine O'Clock,
but no Joe and no fire. The impossi-
bility of shaving with water thirty de-
gees below freezing point brought inn
precautions on the tardy domestic S
head, when the door open and Aunt
Polly leisurely began to light the fire.
"Where in the thunder" (the histo-
rian is nothing if he is not accurate)
sis that son of yours7 I've been wait
ing for him two blessed hours. "
sNow Marse Trav, you must 'cuse
Toe," said his mother in her most con-
ciliating tones-''you really must 'cuse
! Joe dis mornin'-Joe dead"

ONLY.
Only q careless meeting
After long years estranged,

Only q careless meeting
After long years estranged,
Only formal greeting
Though hearts are still unchanged.
Only goodbye uttered
From lips that wers proud and cold,
Only heart-strings futered
By love and grief UNFOLD.
Only two lives severed,
Bearing their burden Of pain,
Only two paths widened
To meet not here again.
Only restless wanderer,
Striving to fee from care,
Only quiet home-life,
Whose calmness means despair.
Only grave meath the willows,
And weary heart at rest,
Only O stricken mourner
Who bears within his breast
Regret that mourns forever,
Like the sob of the restless tide,
For two lives wrecked and ruined
By "only" word of pride.
