TALKING ABOUT HENS.


How a Decided Goodness Sprang Up Be-
tween Two Old Friends.
A Rochester man named Mugs has
been out in the town of Wheatland Wis.
iting some friends who live on a farm.
Mr.. Mugs is not only man of more
than average intelligence, but he is
also of an inquiring turn of mind; ano
while he was visiting on the farm he
managed to pick up a good deal of in,
formation by asking questions about
things. One of the first things that ex-
cited his curiosity was hen that was
on nest under the end of lumbe,
pile.
This must be hen,'" said, Muggs,
confidently.
at is, said the farmer.
''She seems to be taking life pretty
easy" ventured Mugs.
''Quite the contrary" said the
farmer. a'She is busy"
Laying an egg, probably" suggested
Mugs.
"Probably not said the farmer.
t'She is setting:'
Then Muggs made some patronizing
remark to the hen and reached down to
stroke the fun on her neck. The hen
was busy, but not too busy to keep an
eye on Mugs, and when his hand
came within reach she picked small
piece of skin off from it. Mugs took
his hand away with wonderful quick
ness and put it into his pocket. Then
he stood and contemplated the hen in
silence for several minutes. AT length
he said:
Il suppose hens seldom have hydro
phobia?'
s.Seldom," said the farmer.
ssBut when they do, have it they
have it pretty bad, don't they?" in
CURED Mugs, with considerable
anxiety.
.Oh, you needn't be alarmed" said
the farmer. 1.-The hen is mad, but not
in that way Her fangs are not poison
ous."
81 suppose, now,' said Mugs. THAT
an Industrious, persistent hen like that
will hatch out chicken every day, and
not feel it..
.9There is difference in hens said
the farmer ''Some hens set harder
/ have got one that Matched out q
days. She never stopped for Sundays
or legal holidays, but just kept right
at it. But it wasn't a very good
Job, because it was rushed too
much. Nine of the chickens were fool
ish and the other four were not any too
bright. You see, they We're not expect
ing it, and they seemed to be sort of
dazed-couldn't understand how they
got here so soon. They would stand
around in a half-witted kind of way and
try to figure it out, but they never
seemed to understand it at ALL
Il should think" said Mugs,
thoughtfully, >'that chicken Matched so
fast as that would be apt to mature
quickly-get old while they are young,
as it were"
'.Exactly-they do" said the farmer.
"You. remember that l bought a
couple of spring chickens from you last
fall" said Mugs, still more thought
fully, as if an idea had occurred to
him.
Eyes, I remember" said the farmer.
who was also beginning to have an
idea. ''What of it3''
20, nothing; only thought perhaps
they belonged to this brood that you
have been speaking about. We broiled
them couple of days and then gave
them to my boy to cut up into beam
shooters"
A GOODNESS has since existed between
Mugs and the farmer.-Rochester Her.

THE ELFIn.

When the Sun, in his white cloud ufeAtcap
Gets tired, and SAYS: ''GOod-nighs
And sinks, where the sky il reddest,
Completely out OF sight,
And the man, with his torch and ladder
Goes trampinG up and down,
Setting the lamps a-glOwing
And Pickering through the town,
Then the little Twilight Elm,
With q laugh and q merry smile,
Slips out from his coy corner,
And travels many . mile.
Ger land and water goes he,
This elf, with his face SO mild,
And as he goes he kisses
The eyes of each tired child.
As soon as the kiss has fallen.
They follow the drowsy god:
They climb up the Dream-land ladder
And reach the Land of Nod.
Then all night long they travel
The journey wODdrous seems
The elm still beside them,
A-whispering: Pheasant dreams"

proper work in the body. Its proper
work is to we'll masticate the food. and
it goes through without dropping, in
stead of being pushed down by the

A third pupil in domestic economy
wrote: Good digested is when we put

and our tongue rolls it down into our
body. We should not eat so much bone
making foods as flesh-forming and
warmth giving foods, for if we do we
would have too many bones, and that

These answers are comical, but the
laugh turns into sigh when we reflect
that to acquire this physiological jargon,
the children endured several months of
cramming.-Kouth's Companion.

Some eggs hatch little sooner

hen will be likely to quit the nest with

GONE HOME.

The funeral services of Harry Pierce,
son of Bishop H. N. Pierce, occurred
last Friday at Trinity Cathedral. The
remains were followed by a large con
course of friends to their last resting
place. Thus has passed from earth one
who, in the first vigor of manhood gave
promise of bright career, but sickness
and debility changed ALL Young Pierce
died at Mobile from consumption. He
had long fingered, weak and exhausted.
A few hours before his death he whis-
pered the following telegram for his sis
ter:
"Tell Susy to break it gently to moth
er. Tell her that in a few hours | will
be beyond in Gods happy Paradise
Thus the loving Lord giveth faith to
those who accept of His atonement, and
thus the freed spirit can move upward
sure that the promise God gives is true.
To the Bishop, the aged father, who
untiringly ministers in Gods service,
the consolation of the Holy Spirit will
come. To the mother, grief-stricken
over her sons departure his last words
will indicate the hope the happiness Of
his future.
