Eggs for Market Only.

If your object is to keep hens for the
purpose of selling eggs, do not keep q
lot of useless males to feed. Tue pres
ence of a male has no influence what
ever on the laying of the eggs, and, if
any thing, he is a nuisancesw hen not
desired. Bear in mind, also. that eggs
laid by hens not with ma Is will keep
three times as long as viii those that
contain the germs of chicks. The best
laying breeds are the small ones, such
as Leghorns, and more of them can be
kept together than of the larger.kinds.
For eggs use the Leghorn, or a cross
of the Leghorn, and keep nc males. u
you desire eggs for Matching make up
a special yard for that purpose and get
rid of tho males as soon as the hatch
ing season is over. RFarmer's Home

| A Little Creature That Looks More Like
q Big Cat Than Any Thing Else.
At the time the visit was made the
lioness was pacing restlessly up and
down and the cub was not to be seen.
The mother stopped in her walk and
glared for a moment at the visitors,
and then, going into a back corner of
the cage, began to poke her muzzle at
something in the straw. She 500
brought out what at first seemed to be
a ball of light tawny wool, which un1
curled itself and sat up to take a LOOK
at the strangers. 1t was about the
size of a good big tom-cat, and had
stripes of black on its legs and sides
like those of a tiger. These stripes
disappear when the cub is a few weeks
old, and the light coat of hair is sue
ceeded by a crop of darker hue. Hav-
ing produced her offspring for exhibi-
ton, the lioness lay down by its side
and began licking it as a cat does a
kitten. She looked as mild as milk,
and apparently was paying no further
attention to her callers, but she
was on the alert, for when MI.
Sells picked up a broom and made
a motion as though he would punch
the cub She was ready to defend her
lfrby. Quick as flash of lightning
she sprang at the bars, eyes cleaning
and mouth open, snarling like an angry
cat, and with her right paw she made
a stroke at the broom which would
have broken a mans skull had the
velvety looking paw fallen on his
head.
The visitors made a lightning calcu-
lation on the strength of the cage
bars, and the ACCESSIBILITY of seeking
refuge in the muddy pool at the other
side of the building, where the hippo
potami were enjoying themselves. The
momentary fash of anger was over,
however, in less time than it takes to
tell of it, and the lioness was back by
the side of her baby, fondling it and
purring softly like a gigantic cat with
Its kitten. There were two cubs born,
I but one of them was sickly and only
lived a few days. The surviving one
is strong and healthy, and at present
looks mor like a. big cat than any
thing else. -Stockton (Ce. Indenend-

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
A Hot-Headed Young Man Changed to q
Moralist and Disciplinarian.

A Hot-Headed Young Man Changed to q
Moralist and Di~sciplInarian.
The industry and mental activity of
Emperor William are regarded by
some as abnormal. Probably no one
would entertain such an impression
were it not for the hereditary faint of
insanity which has showed itself at
times in the family. But if this idea
can be put aside he presents by this
time a promising claim to be added to
the list of historical characters OF
whom Henry V. of England stands as
a type.
The sense of responsibility has
changed the Emperor from a hot
headed young man of loose habits to
not only a cautious, handwriting
monarch, but apparently to a stern
moralist, as those who were once his
Falstaff and his Poins have had occa-
sion to find out. There is reason to
say of him as Carlyle said of his pre-.
decessor, the great Frederick: Favor,
friendly intimacy, it is visible from the
first, avails nothing with this young
King; beyond and before all things
he will have his work done, and looks
out exclusively for the men ablest to
do it." Events may change this view,
but so far it holds good.
The Emperor is a strict disciplinarian
everywhere, even %subjecting his own
children to a course of training so
rigid as to call for a protest
from the tender-hearted. His early
ride, not long ago, to surprise a mill.
tary post, indicates the kind of surveil-
lance he exercises over the army.
Recognizing the Importance of diplo-
macy at the present j~uncture of Euro
pean affairs. his first care is to estab-
lish personal aequaintanceship in for.
eign courts and at the Vatican. In the
delicate international relations which
prevail he has, contrary to expectst
tions. avoided mistakes.
There are harsh and unpleasant,
perhaps unfilial, sides to his character,
but it must be conceded that the young
man has competed, by his careful at
tention to business and freedom from
rashness, a reversal of the judgment
formerly passed on him and has excited
a respectful interest in his career.-N.

They Should Be Taught in College az
Well as Lawyers and Editors.
I would also suggest that chairs be
instituted in several of u colleges, to
be filed by professors who have passed
through all the principal departments
of a railroad-ofice experience. And in
addition they should be possessed of a
good literary and scientific education.
These general experts ip railroad mat
tiers should have in charge the educa-
ton of young men, and award diplomas
to them IS expert railroad directors.
Then I would make it incumbent upon
every railroad company to have one or
more of these graduates in every
directory, at a salary, say, equal to
that of a Senator OR member of
Congress. Every such director
should know thoroughly all there
is to know about railroad book
keeping, railroad building, and rail-
lseoad management generally. His posi-
ton should be raised tp the dignity
of profession and his diploma awarded
only on the most searching examina-
ton Of his qualifications for the Office.
The position should be made as de-
sirable and attractive as that of any of
the learned professions, ~capability and
character being the principal tests of
fitness for the selection to any vacancy.
There should also be public account
ants, who have passed through the
same course and discipline, to be
called upon to examine the books OF
every corporation at the making up of
any report for publication. To these
reports their official signatures should
be attached. All official delinquencies
could then be met with condign pun
shment and perpetual disgrace, so
that all but those who have the
strictest confidence in their own in
tegrity would be deferred from
seeking the Office. The principal idea
would be to make the Offices ! suggest
such that the henor, rather than the
emoluments would attract eligible in
cumbents. Students passing through

The Beni-lsrael Of India.

Among the many scattered remnants
of nations in India there are few more
interesting than the Beni-Israel of the
Bombay side. The Beni-Israel do not
belong to the lost tribes. nor have they
any mysterious connection with the
Great Pyramid. Their own legends
aver that centuries ago their forefa-
theirs, flying by sea from a country in
the north, were s~hipwrecked near Ken
cry island, and the survivors, seven
families, took refuge at Navgoan,
homeless, penniless, among strangers,
and without the books of their law.
The date of this hegira is estimated
from sixteen hundred to two thousand
years ago. Since that date the little
colony Of fourteen souls has grown into
a dispersed community Of ten thousand

fore Christ -Scottish American.

Now in the Spring of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely arranges
that We should live on foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose OF supplying heat
to the body; the chemical operation nee es
sary to transform fat into heat Is b excln,
slve work of the liver, and so during the
time stated it is constantly congested.
With the approach of warm weather our
diet changes tomuscle-produciHg food, and
the work of the liver is much lessened. In
the majority Of cases, however, it is unatG "a
to completely throw of the excess of bile,
but remains congested, causing that lazy,
tired feeling which many have in the Spring
months, when the weather becomd .NarM.
This is evidence of an unhea1Ihy con-
dition, and though people appreciate the
necessity of an alternative at this period, the
common idea Is to take drastic pills and

matters worse. The liver must be I'M
loaded, and its proper action restored be-

ARTHA'S SPINNING
WHEEL.
AUNT

With spider-webbing tattered
In travesties of lace,
Mid treasures years ave scattered
Once miracles of grace
Imploring Time to spare it
With rusty tongue of steel,
Behold t in the garrett
Aunt Martha's spinning wheel.
With slow and pensive fingers
I wipe the webs away,
While loving Fancy fingers
To paint an oldeu day.
When youth and beauty crowned it
What gay songs used to peal!
Now crickets wall around it
Aunt Martha's spinning-wheel.
1softly touch the treadle; -
1t gives a p~laintive squeak;
1t begs me not to NEEDLE,
In murmurs sad and meek.
Alas! the feet that lithely
Once twinkled through the reel,
No more shall pat it blithely-
Aunt Martha's spinning-wheeL.
How oft its noisy turning
Hath served a lovers need,
And kept Age from discerning
What only Youth should heed!
'Twould drown both VOWS and kisses
That lovers love to steal:
A dear old treasure this is
Aunt Martha's spi9ajng'wheel.
For fear of house adorner
In search Of b~ric-a-brac,
Far in the garnet corner
With signs I put it back:
And there, just as / found it,
Ileave for woe or veal,
With ghosts to glide aroundit,
Aunt Martha's spinning-wheel.
