How Many Eggs will a Hen Lay.

We often read of hens that lay
two hundred eggs a year, but such
statements do more harm than good
by inducing the inexperienced to
believe such to be q fact. Any one
who is familiar at all with poultry
knows that during the Fall all hens
undergo the process of melting or
shedding of the feathers. This re-
quires usually about three months,
or one hundred days. As there are
only 365 days in a year, we have
265 days left after deducting the
melting period. If a hen lays regu-
larly an egg every other day, she
will lay 1873 eggs; but she will prob
ably lose three months more in
Matching out her broods, and even
if she is a non-setter she will take q
resting spell. As melting is a heavy
drain on the system but few hens
lay during that process, though
there are exceptions, and where the
number of eggs exceed one every
two days it will be found that a cor.
responding reduction occurs during
some period of the year. While We
admit that certain individual hen.
have been known to lay as many a.
$50 or even 175 eggs in year, sucf
cases are rare; and if one has {
flock of twenty hens, or more, hC
should be satisfied if there is al
average of 100 eggs a year for thu
whole flock, or rather nine dozen
-Four dozen out of the nine should
bring about 30 cents per dozen
three dozens should bring about q
cents per dozen and two dozer
should realize 10 cents per dozen, o
an average of about % cents. o
course, this calculation may b,
wrong, but it will convey an idea o
what may be expected.-Farm anc

young he was most anxious to do RICH
and to govern wisely and well, and in
Archbishop Cranmer he had a good and
prudent helper and friend.
King Edward pitied the neglected
boys in the streets whose parents were
too poor to have their sons properly
brought up, and founded this Blue Coat
School, where destitute lads might be
clothed and taught. The scholars of this
school may be known anywhere by their
curious dress, which they are always
obliged to wear even in the holidays;
they have blue coats with very long tails,
breechcs of yellow leather (Which must
be stiff and uncomfortable one would
think and flat caps about as big, or
rather as small, us the top OF a teacup,
and so difficult to keep on that the boys
generally go without altogether,

in England are now proud to send their
sons to it--E. w. HARDINAE in The

The Stranger Attended TO His own
Business.

Forty-onc years ago John Smith
was the driver and chief proprietor
of a line Of coaches running to the
mountains. 1t was said that he had
but one eye, and that was keen and
on the main chance. On his dowa
trip on time 4 Boston gentleman
took a seat by Johns side, and, be-
ing of an inquisitive turn of mind.
he asked numerous questions con-
corning different mountains and
views, till at length Johns patience
was exhausted, and in answer to
one question he tartlv said
stranger, if you will attend to your
business | will to mine" As might
be readily imagined there was a
very quiet time after this. After a
drive of a few miles John drew up
to a country store and post office,
where the mail bag was thrown Off
While the mail was being changed
Mr., Smith snapped horses with 4
man who came for that purpose
and the new horse was "hitched in

A Frenchman, speaking Of u per-
son known to his comrades, ellis
mouth costs him nothing for he al
ways opens it at the expense of 9th
ers." There are multitudes of per-
sons to whom that remark will APP
ply. Exertation and defamation are
two fertile sources ofsocial mischief.
We meet with persons who sensi-
lively shrink from the deliberate
violation of truth, who habitually
over-color their statements to such
an extent that a false impression is
conveyed to the mind of the listen
er. They thus lower the tone of
their own mind, destroy the power
of accurate perception, diminish the
confidence of their friends, and sow
seeds of much error in the world,
They soon discover that they are
not credited even when they speak
soberly. Their moral drafts upon
social confidence are disonored.
But perhaps the most injurious
talk is that detracts from the char
acter of another-that which or in
disguise strikes at the reputation of
brother pilgrim-that which ''cuts

that which is adopted by the envi-
Gus rival who seeks to build "his

LOndOn's Famous Days.

who had been chosen from every part of
the country TO make the laws.
Some wicked men, who were dissatis-
fled with the government, had laid Il
plan to fill the vaults under the Paria-
mcnt House with great barrels Of gun
powder, and to blow up king, lords, com
MONS building, and all. For this rur-
pose they had hired coal and wood
vault, just underneath the House of
Lords, had brought in thirty-six barrels
of powder, and had covered them over
carefully with wood and fagots.
\ few days before Parliament was to
meet, Lord Monteagle, one of the mem
bcrs, received letter. not signed, and
very difficult to understand, but evident
ly written by a friend, warning him of
some great danger, and begging him to
spend the fifth of November in the
country. For" it said, "Thc lords in
Parliament on that day should receive Il
terrible blow, but should not see who
hurt them"
Lord Montcagle showed this strange
letter to a friend, who took it to the
King. - terrible blow" thought wise
James the First, "and shall not see who
hurts them : that sounds very like gun
powder
He commanded some officers to search
the vaults They went down suddenly
and quietly about midnight, turned over
the lagots and found under them the
barrels of powder. Here too they found
a man named Guy Fawkes, who had
been hired to wait there till next day,
when Parliament should be assembled,
and then light Il long fuse leading to the
gunpowdcr, and run. They found him
none too soon, for in his pocket he had
flint and steel (Which were then used in
stead of matches), all ready to light the
fuse. So King and Parliament were saw
ed and the men who had laid the wicked
plot were put to death.
The King had intended to take with
him to the House Of Lords his little son,
Prince Henry Frederick, boy eleven
years old.
This young prince was so grateful to
God for having saved him and his father
from dreadful death, that on every fifth
of November, so long as he lived, he
went to church to give thanks for his de-
liyerancc.
