A little more than year age we published
in these columns notice of the discovery of
Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens
lay. In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character and reputa-
ton of the manufacturers. To our own
mind, at that time, the idea of making hens
lay the year round by artificial or other
means, seemed absurd, but we have since
learned that it can be done The notice
alluded to above attracted universal attention,
and thousands of people, while not believing
that Sheridans Powder could accomplish all
that was claimed for it, thought it was at least
worth trial. The trial was made during
December, January and February. No other
months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder 80 severe a
test, for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these
monthe except in rare cases. But the
result of this trial was most satisfactory and
conclusive. Hundreds of those who made
the trial received from IS to "a eggs per hen
per month, while many got one egg day
from each hen. The price of eggs during
December, January and February last, aver
aged 30 to 30 cents per dozen. Thus it will
be seen that a very few hens each laying an
egg a day would support small family. L.

The Massachusetts Campaign

The campaign in Massachusetts, on the
part of the republicans appears to be GO
ing forward energetically and successful
ly. The Traveller of Wednesday says
"The bait held out to catch republican
votes in the nomination by the democrats
of John +. Andrew does not attract.
There is every indication OF full republi-
canTcte, and of willingness to meet
the issues involved in the canvass. A can
vass as thorough and systematic as the
notable one made three years ago is be-
ing made in all the towns. Everything
points to decided republican victory, the
election of the republican State ticket by
not less than 10000 majority and the re-
turn of eleven republican congressman.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger

the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and etfectual cure of coughs, colds. and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble. heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condi-

Johnny's List Of Best Books.

Sir John Lubbock's list of 100 best
books" has created wide comment and in
duced several other persons to prepare a
little list. Old Simeon Supplies asked his
l4-year-old son Johnny the other dav to
write down what he considered the best 100
books, and the youth Immediately began as
follows: =
l. "Yellow-haired Nance: The Pet Of the
Slums."
q. Double jointed Jake: The Circus
Boy"
8. "Blue.devil Dick: The, Indian Ex-
terminator."
4. "squint-eyed Bob: The Roller Rink
Detective"
5. The Mysterious Demon; or, the
Ghost of Shantyto-"
At this point Johnny's father, who was
looking over his sons shoulder, brought his
rattan cane down SO vehemently on a spot
where it would do the most good that the
titles of the youths remaining ninety-lye
books were obliterated from the corridors
of his memory and the list will never be
fnished.-DrGke's MAGAZINE.

What Allied the Brakeman.

MI. Davis, of the Atlantic Coast Line,
told us some apt stories. He said that one
of the officers Of the road was much an
noyed at the importune curiosity Of an old
Boston lady, with indescribable bangs upon
her forehead and gigantic spectacles upon
her nose. Every time the train stopped for
fuel this formidable female wanted to know
what caused the detention. Tired of this
i~nterrogation,' the prosecuted man determ-
ined to put q vindictive stop to it. When
the dragon of virtue assailed him again
with the old question, he replied:
MY dear madam, the brakeman is very
sick at his stomach"
Good heavens, sir!" CALCULATED the
woman, lis he extremely lll?"
The man nodded in solemn affirmation.
"How pc you know" shrieked Boston.
Because" wickedly retorted her victim,
"he is throwing up wood"
That silenced her questions, but she
made an angry memorandum and threat
ened to report him to the company.-Au-
