Thoughtful people cannot help look
img with alarm upon some OF the
strides that science has been maxim" Of
late years. It's getting so that many
things that have been done by nature,
are better done by art; and where the
thing is going to stop, no one knows.
The new scheme that is causing the
most talk at present, is the artificial
Matching of eggs by patent incubatorS,
and the effect the new process will be
apt to have on hens. The hen is nat
umllv Il sensitive insect, in honest.
hard working and piouS appearing
bird, that never does any harm. The
artificial propagation of fish seemed at
one time to he nm outrage upon well
meaning fish, and many looked for bad
results, rs the result of taking the re-
sponsibility of Matching away from the
fish, but fish have not that finely or
ganiHcd nature that hens have, and
they are not 50 sensitive rs to their
rights, like the hen. The fish is nat
ural loafcr and pirate, and it is more
than probable that the shiftlcSs inhab-
itants of the waters were half glad
that the responsibility of Matching
their young was shifted to the should
ers of man, but it is different with the
hen. No process of reasoning can con-
vince hen that it is right to put Il
thousand eggs into bake oven and
hatch out spring chickens ut all seat
sons of the year, leaving the natural
mothers of the birds with nothing to
do, and u strong desire to do some
thing, Il longing to set that nothing
can drive away. To the hen that has
her eggs taken to an incubator for
Matching something must be given,
if it is nothing more than nest full of
porcelain door nobs, or base balls, and
any person can imagine the sorrow
that will come to hen after sitting
her allotted time on door nobs, with
no result, and then see brood of
chickens come out of an incubator,
with u suspicion of the Legitimacy of
the chickens always hanging over
them. Such an experience on the
part of the most level headed hen is
liable to bring on nervous prostration,
with all its evils, and great suffering
mustresult. The hen is naturally ten.
der hearted, as any one knows that has
seen hen scratch for worms for an
other to eat, never thinking of herself
at all, so it seems cruel to take from
the hen the eggs she lays so unTellish-
ly, and which are so dear to her. 1t
is shown that the hen lays her eggs
unscllishly, in the fact that she lays
more numerously when they are cheap.
If the hen was a grasping monopoly,
or a hard hearted, soulless corpora
zion, she would enjoy herself in the
spring and summer, when eggs are
cheap, and build up her constitution
by exercise and outdoor air, and when
winter came, and eggs got up to forty
cents q dozen, 60 to work and lay eggs
night and day, and retire with a for
tune. But the hen is not that kind of
an insect The work that is given her
to do she does with all her might, and
no matter whether she belongs to rich
or poor, she lays for all that is out
when it is her time to lay, and when
she is attacked by the malarial desire
to set, and wishes to retire to her bou-
doir and recline for a few weeks upon
eggs that she has brought into the

Style at the White House.

While | was in Washington | went
through portion of the executive
mansion which | have not seen for the
past two or three years. 1t has been
rc-furnishcd according to the prevail
ing style of Tiffany and other imitators
of what is going on in Europe. The
east room is now n kind of silver and
gold room, and it has only two por-
traits in it-Gen. Washington, by
Stewart, and Mrs. Washington, by
Andrews. In the long corridor, which
connects the east room with the stair
case and bisects the lower floor,
looked at the portraits of the presi-
dents, and it seemed to me that the
best of them was that of Garfield.
The artist has made the light shine on
his forehead so as to sring out his in
tellectual nature strongly, and also to
give kind of tender halo to his eye
expressive of that almost feminine sem
sibility he had. A number of women
were going through the apartments
with the man-servant, and was struck
with the want of refinement and deli
cacy among these, and it seemed to
me the older the women were the more
crotchety and disagreeable were their
remarks. There was one old woman
who seemed to think that the white
house and its treasures were designed
to illustrate her private biography.
She would look up to the portrait of
Hayes and say: "Who is thatph

Rritish EnrtiliIN-

Thirty millions of people within the
area of one of our larger states, and who
shall say that high-water mark is yet
reached? Everything betokens a race
still in its youth, still on the road to EN-
pirc. The full-bloodedness, the large feet
and hands, the prominent canine teeth,
the stomachic and muscular ro-
business, the health of the women,
the savage jealousy of personal rights,
the swarms upon swarms of children
and young people, the delight in the
open air and in athletic sports, the
love of danger and adventure, a GER
tain morning freshness and youthful
ness in their looks, as if their food and
sleep nourished them well, as well as
a certain animality and stupidity
all indicate a people who have not
yet slackened speed or taken in sail.
Neither the land nor the race shows
any exhaustion, In both there is yet
the freshness and fruitfulness of new
country. You would think the people
had just come into possession Of a
virgin soil. There is pioneer hardi-
ness and fertility abjut them. Fami-
lies increase as in our early frontier
settlements. s.-John Burroughs, IN he

4 Jersey Amazon.

The people of Tuckahor, ,DCnnisvillc,
and the upper end Of Cape May coun-
ty have, for some time past, been
startled ut the wonderful exploits with
Il rifle Of Il mysterious Amazon named
Jennie Moore, who lives in an isolated
cabin in the pines, ON the bay side,
about four miles from Woodbinc sta
ton, ON the West Jersey railroad. The
woman is about 80 years Of age. of
splendid physical development, She
is married TO Il man named Jackson
Moore, whose father lives at Vincland,
and who ckcS out Il scNnt livelihood by
chopping wood for the Millvillc glass
factories. In November last the couple
settled in their cabin, which is equipped
in the true border style, half of it being
under ground. 1t is stated that they
came from Texas. The woman has n
pretty little daughter u years of age,
who can sing like nightingale. 1t is
believed that the woman is 4 native
of Brooklyn, She says that for sCv-
cral years she travelled with Il show
under the stage name of Jenny Frank
lin, giving exhibitions with her rifle.
On several occasions the Amazon has
astonishcd the natives of the towns in
the vicinity with her skill. Some of
her feats are remarkable. She can
light parlor match with rifle ball,
and part an apple on the William Tell
style, resting on her husbands head.
A favorite shot is to hit the apple,
while in that position, by Il shot with her
back turned and taking aim in look
ing glass. Shutting candles and clip
ping the ashes from u lighted cigar
while being held between the teeth of
a man are trilling matters to her. 1t
is regarded as exceedingly strange
that a woman of her refined tastes, ,cul-
ture, and amazing skill with rifle,
should bury herself in the wilds Of Jer-
scy and undergo the hardships of Il
woodchopper's life 1t is common
thing for her to take Il trampsof miles
through the wilderdess of that coun-
try with her rifle slung over her shoul-
der. The people of Dennisville, with
few of whom she is acquainted, speak
in glowing terms of her lady-like de-
pertinent and social accomplishments.
