A Curious and Interesting Incident In
the Family History Of the Bsyards.

The subject of presentiment concern
ing death and fatalty in families spoken
Of in Hancock's case recalls some sad
points in the Bayard history. Few
families have been more depleted by
sudden death than the Bayards, and in
many instances there have been fore
warnings apd pnssantimsnts. It is said
that Miss Bayard wrote letter indi.
eating her approaching death. There
are now in Washington many old naval
officers who remember the interesting
circumstance attending the death of
Mis- Bayard's cousin, Charles c. Bayard.

when he heard that the Congress WAS
taken "Then Joe is .dead.'' In the
party also was Leham b. Ashmead, Of
Philadelphis, with whom young Bayard
afterwards went to Jerusalem to visit
the Holy Sopulch-e. While there they
both had tattooed on their arms by an
old dragoman the heraldic arms Of
Jerusalem, with the date of their visit.
In the case Of young Bayard the tattooed
cross developed virulent features, fester-.

True 70 HIS VOID.
How a Frightened senegamBian Brought
a Bear to a Hunting Camp.
Tyyasbtne,ton Post


You know that [ went up in Northern
Michigan last fall on hunting trip with
three OF four friends. Well, can tell you
of a comical little incident which occurred
to our old negro cook, Jim.
We had killed numerous beavers, por-
cupine, cartridges, and pheasants, and a
few deer, but we had been grievously dis
appointed in getting no bears. We fol-
lowed up every bear track we could find,
we set traps, and employed an Indian
hunter to aid US, but no bears were to be
found, although it was said that there
were many in the neighborhood. Re-
turning one aftern Don after an unsuccess-
full hunt, dispirited and out OF humor, it
was no wonder that when Jim, the
cook, who was somewhat of a privileged
character, commenced to poke fun at
us and deride US on the bear subject
one of the fellows became enraged and
said: "Jim, you black devil, get out of
the camp, and if after your Dragging you
don't bring a bear back with you before
! dark I'll give you a sound thrashing."
"Sartinly I WILL" replied Jim, gayly. He
/ obeyed, and failing to obtain the loan of a
gun from any one of the party he started
out, having no idea in the world as to
where he was going. Having wandered
| away a mile or so from the camp he lay
/ down under tree and went to sleep. 1t
| was dusk when he awoke, and the first
thing that met his frightened gaze was an
/ immense black bear resting on his
launches about twenty-five yards away,
and watching his victim complaceutly.
The bewildered and thoroughly alarmed
| negro jumped to his feet and started for
! the camp, and the beast followed. 1t was a
race for life, and Jim's only chance was
/ in his legs, for he had not the vestige of
! weapon with him. After half mile had
been traversed he looked back and saw
| that the beast was gaining on him rapid
! ly. He threw off his cap, and, while the
/ bear stopped to smell it, he gained few
/ yards. In this way the poor darkey con-
/ tinued throwing off his outer clothing,
/ piece by piece, now and then, and profit
! ing by the bear's momentary halt to ex-
anime and snuff it. Finally, to Jim's
| great delight, he saw thelight of the camp
but few rods away, and, having nothing
else he could throw off, he redoubled his
speed, but the brute gained rapidly and
was but few feet behind. A series of
| blood curdIing whoops brought the fell
lows from the tent, and as they reached
the door in came Jim with a big black
bear at his heels. "Gemmen," gasped he,
''befo' de Lawd, rs brought back dat bar

a GOOD HEN HOUSE.
Plans for the Construction of One Suitable
for Summer and Winter.

Plans for the Construction of One Suitable
for summer and Winter.
AS poultry house, both for winter
and summer, nothing is superior to one
partially under ground. For one hum
bred fowls, 10x5O feet is a good size
this in three apartments, one on each
end ten feet long. In each of these
small rooms are to roost fifty hens, as
by not allowing all to come out at the
same opening, they may be fed to a
better advantage on winter mornings.
The center room is to be used as a
Matching house in summer, while in it
in winter the hens may be confined on
the coolest DAYS. Here have the dust
bath, the gravel box, bone trough and
nests.
The nests should run along the back
wall, on the floor, but so constructed
that the eggs will not roll out That
the hens may not sit on top of them
nor be tempted there to roost, have a
slanting board above. Let the whole
frame be movable, so as to be easily
cleaned.
In this room have three windows.
In summer the glass may be taken out
and replaced with wire screens. Let
cept when needed by the owner. In
winter cover the floor with chaff in
which to throw the grain eaten by the
fowls.
The roosting houses need no light,
except what will come through the
door from the center room. Ventilate
by wooden pipe, running from the
floor, thereby avoiding draughts.
The rOosts may be best hung from
the ceiling. Place just underneath
sloping wooden trough to catch the
droppings, lest the fowls scratch among
them. This trough should open out
side by means of a hinged board, which
can be raised or lowered at will.
From these rooms the means of exit
to the outside need be but a square
hole, large enough to admit hen.
Better three feet high than lower that
dogs may not enter.
In addition, a shed, open to the
south, closed on the east and west, is
quite convenient, as the hens will
thereby have more scratching room
when snow is on the ground.
Such house, made half under
ground, low at the back, higher in
front, the boards lined with tarred or
MANILA paper, need cost but very little.
Provided with a good wind-break from
our zephvrs, and iudiciousIY fed, hens,
so CHARTERED, if of a laying strain, will
stop laying but one time during the
year-this during the moulting season.
Never make a chicken house in the
COW corral, but on good clean ground
that can be fenced specially for the
poultry. Then pillow up the run once
or twice year and seed it to grain or
