This is the aye of the intensely practical.
A man IN Indianapolis who used TO be
given much to literary pursuits, has now
abandoned the classics and taken to-helis.
Before November's wind had stripped the
trees he became possessed of an idea that
WAS worth millions He had been read
ING Itiley's story of how "Fessler Fooled
his Bees, and induced them 10 work all
winter. This ingenious fellow was
impressed with the thought that the
imagination of hen could be so wrought
upon that She would be persuaded to lay
an egg every laY-aye, twice day during
the winter He built u hcnncry that for
picturcSquoncss and ornamentation has
never been rivalled. 1t is worthy Of the
labled fowl whose silvery cackle daily
announced q golden egg. The hen
hoilse is tight and warm. The walls are
papered in landscapes. The ceiling is of
bright sky blue paper, dotted with lazy
butterflies and bugs In little pool of

plants arc employed, and never did foolish
old hens strut about amid such gorgeous
surroundings. But they pay for it, The

Thus, at high noon the sunlight-oil lamp
with reflector attachmont). which is the
sun to the establishment, begins to glin-
mer and presently dies out. The biddies
give way to sleepincss, and turn III for a
short nap. The relit lamp shortly calls
them to labor. By thus dividing the day
tile hens are coaxed to lay two eggs, and

1t is observed that numbers of our peo-
pie do their shopping at Woodstown. Il
is claimed by the tradcs-people of that
place that they sell goods at a lower price
and are not adverse to advertising the fact,
thereby receiving the trade. If our mer-
chants wish to keep the trade at home they
should sell as low as at other places and
then let the fact be known.--iSiecde&bor

And the Woodstown trades-people. in
making the claim aforesaid don't bite of
a bit more than they can chew. The
Swedcsboro people show that they are
legel-headcd by going whore they car get
best results for their money. II the
SwedesboFo merchants can't rise to the
level of their surroundings and sell as
cheap and tell the people as much about
their goods as their Woodstown neighbors.

Judgment and bovine philosophy returning
with the morning lght, he had meditated
upon his wrongs until he was madden than
ever. and in the moming no one dared go
near enough, to Tie pen to put a rope
around the animal neck, and it was found
necessary TO shooi4aim in the pen, rather

These are the days when, if We see Il
team hitched along the curb in such away
as to leave the horse or wagon standing
directly across a street crossing. we feel
like hunting up the man who left it there,
and gently laying him in the gutter full of
slush through which We have to wade to
get across the street, and leaving him
there till he promises never to be guilty Of
so tboughtless, careless and hoggish an act
again. The crossings are none Of the best
WHOM they are at their best, but they are
intended for the use Of pedestrians, and Tor
man to obstruct them with his wagon is
rs bad as il lie stood his team across
the sidewalk. Gentle Transfers can you
take the hint ?
