The American hen is not doing
her duty. There are 100000
dozens of foreign hens eggs
brought into this country every
year free of duty. The American
hen must scratch round, says a
New England paper, If they are to
avoid the reproach of allowing the
egg industry to be crushed by the
competition of cheap pauper fowls
of effeto monarchies of the Old
World. With incqbators to help
them, the American hens ought TO
make q better record.

THREE CoLoRS.

Every woman in New York is
now making 4 heroic struggle TO
wear three colors in her hat when
she goes abroad by night or day.
This, am told is another result OF
the "Mikado" craze, the three lit
tic maids from school having an
influence which is far reaching and
apparently endless. Women and
girls walking in thrccs are now so
numerous rs to no longer attract
comment. 1t is an odd and rather
an idIotic fancy to carry tho idea
into decoration for hats, and the
effect is often entirely amusing. A
faded and washed out looking face
of no particular beauty, surmount-
ed with a bonnet decorated with
green, red and yellow, sinks the
colorless face into such inSignIfi.

SHYING HoRsEs.-This trick or
vico is generally the effect of ner-
vous timidity, resulting from an
excitable temperament 1t is ag-
gravated by improper handling.
To punish a horse for shylng in
PRODUCES a new cause for fear. The
horse will be moro alarmed and
show moro tokens of fear at the,
prospect of a whipping than at the
imaginary object of danger in the
road. Hence ono bad habit is con-
frmed by the Introduction of an
other. 1t is impossible to whip
terror out of a horse or pound cour-
age into. one. Kindness and gentle
persuasion are the best weapons to
correct the pernicious habit of shy
ing. The less fear exhibited by
the driver, and the less notice tax
en- of the shying by using harsh
methods the sooner it will be given
up. A careful, experienced horse
man can generally detect an object
likely to, cause o nervous horse
to shy, and by word or touch
will encourage him to pass it I'M
noticed. When this fails, give him
time to, look at the object of fear ;
pat him, and coax him up TO it, then
take him past it two or three times,
till he takes no notice of it. When
defective sight is the cause of this
bad habit, it is ineArable. And if
the eyesight is failing the horse,
for ordinary driving and riding,
will be perfectly useless. A mare,
we knew, had gone quietly in har-
ness for two or three years, sud
denly took to jumping the white
stone crossings of an ordinary ma
cadamized street, as il they were
water brooks. In three months
she WAS stone-blInd. - Scientific

wards the sublime cannot live in
the Chicago atmosphere. If she

the American people elect her an
authcress will be TUNED t1 the
base uses of Chicago trade, and in
stead of being regarded with awe
she will be treated merely as q
commercial attraction.

of Parkgr's Tonic, given the little one, will
bring rest and sleep to the baby and ali ii

DREAMs.-A prominent authority
on thesubiect regards most dream
representations are really represen-
tatlons, since they emanato from
sensoriaI impressions, which,
though weak, continue during
sleep. An inconvcnicnt position
during sleep causing the rcprescn-
tation OF painful work, pcrilous as
cent. of n mountain, etc. A slight
intcrcostal pain becomes the point
of an enemy's dagger or the bite OF
an enraged dog. Difficulty In res
piration is fearful agony caused by
nightmare, the nightmare seeming
to be a weight rolled upon the
chest, or horrible monster which
threatens to stifle the sleeper. An
involuntary extension OF the foot
is fall from the dizzy hight of a
tower. Flying is suggested by the
rhythmic movement of respiration.
