Hens VS.. Cows

A few miles from the city OF Lon
don resides a gentleman and his good
wife owning and tilling fifty acres of
land. The gentleman had always had
great faith in his cows paying we'll,
but thought the hens bill OF non
sense. The lady, on the other hand,
concluded that the hens paid better
than the COWS. Accordingly one
spring she determined to keep books
for one season and ascertain the re-
spective merits Of both. She credited
the hens with all the eggs laid. and
interesting indeed was the contrast
as the time drew nigh for receiving
the check from the cheese factory.
But it came at last and behold the
hens were ahead, and so it continued
throughout the season. One hundred
hens to three cows, and as they had
decided that it would cost about the
same to keep each the gentleman was
forced to yield the point and admit
that hens We're most profitable. IL Is
not at all difficult to MAKE hens pay : /
per head per annum if properly cared
for. The writer on one occasion made
50 per head on five dark brahma hens
after paying all expenses. This, it
will be understood, was for eggs and
meat alone, not for breeding stock, as
half-a-dollar was the highest price
realized for young birds

There was light in the library win
dow the room which Cleveland gen
orally occupied when alone; Austen
saw his shadow move across the blind
as he passed, heard his CHEEKY voice
speaking to his dogs. The servant
who opened the door looked little
surprised when he saw the visitor. IL
was many long day since Austen
had been at the Priory. He took him
at once into the library where Cleve-
land was sitting.
The room looked cheerful and cosy;
table spread with wine and fruit
and flowers was drawn close to the fire;
a great mastiff and a tiny terrier
were rolling about on the rug, and
Cleveland, lying back in his chair
with his pipe between his lips, looked
the picture of comfort and ease. He
started up and looked surprised as the
visitor entered, then came forward
with outstretched hand and a cordial
greeting.
"Austen! 1t is pleasant to see you
here again. he cried You have
come to welcome me home? Sit
down, old fellow-I am delighted to
see your
But Austen did not take any notice
of the proffered hand. There was an
intent questioning look on his face,
and his eyes CLEANED oddly under
their thick brows, and Cleveland no
ticed that the veins ON his clenched
hands stood out like knotted cords.
II have come he said at last,
speaking in an unnatural voice, .'to

have answered it | will either ask

'.Tessa Caroline? How on earth

tone of the widest amazement. II
should have thought you were the
most likely person to answer that
question. Why do you ask me?"
There was such an unmistakable
surprise in his face-such an accent of
complete truth in his voice that Austen
could not doubt any longer. He gave
one long searching look into Cleve-
lands facea look which seemed as il
1t would pierce into his very soul,
then, with an odd sound, half of relief,
half of despair, sank into chair and
covered his race with his hands.
Cleveland watched him silently a
few minutes with sympathetic impa-
tient face.
Come, Austen. don't be a fool
Don't you know where she TSP" he
said at last. why do you ask me?"

A Devotional Dog.

During revival at Methodist
church in Orlando, Fla, the other
night quite solemnly comic incident
occurred. There is certain dog In
town who has been taught by his
owner to kneel in the attitude of pray
er when commanded by o snap Of The
owners fingers. The dog followed a
lady and gentleman into the church
and insisted upon making himself al
home around the altar, to the annoy
ance of those conducting the meeting.
One Of the congregation, noticing the
unwelcome presence of the canine,
rose from his seat and proceeded to
conduct his dogship to the street. He
was making slow progress in his eff
forts, and when about midway down
the center aisle chirped and snapped
his fingers at the animal, who deliber-
ately turned round, placed his paws
upon the end of pew, and bowed his
head as II in earnest prayer.

His Conscience Tronb1ed TIin

w. A. Cuddy, who was chaplain Of
the legislature Of Arizona which has
just adjourned, has sent to the treas
ury department for deposit in the con-
science fund the sum OF $22.50, being
a part OF the salary paid him as chap
lain. His motive for this action is ex-
planned by him as follows: II cannot
see that it is right for the rulers to
take the peoples money and pay it out
to some hypocrite to stand up before a
legislative body and pray for pay"
He also states that he once acted as
clerk Of the Legislature and received
for his services 500; but while per-
forming this duty he was also employ
ed in whisky selling. He thinks he
should return the 500, and would do
SO, he says, but for the fact that he
has not got it. Mr.. Cuddy resides ut

A GENEROUS FEENCaM MAN.
An Offer to Take Half Brothers.
Family Off His Hands.

Baltimore American.
The most touching story Of UNDERGONE
roof relationship is perhaps that of the
Arragons, of Msrseilles. They were
two brothers greatly attached to one
another, who titled the same farm, and
when they married, still formed COM
mon household. The elder had ten
children and the younger had none.
This circumstance and probably some
others, caused a little unpleasantness
between the ladies, and she who was
ion of the property. The husbands, who
of course had to give in, repaired to
the local magistrate, who suggested
that one should divide the farm
into two lots, and the other should have
his choice of them. The elder brother
made the division in the presence of the
two wives, his ten children and the J.P.
The scene, SO tender and impressive,
drew tears from the beholderS. Then
the younger brother made his choice.
IL take this part, BROTHER" he said,
..but it is not complete" may, it is
equal enough" sighed the other. "How
can it be equal when it wants the part
prize the most? Do you think that ],
who have no children, will make a divi-
sion of your property without participant
ing in your familyp choose five of
these children-the youngest, because
the eldest will be the most useful to
you. l demand this, and my wife sec
onds me-" AT this, we are told, "the
brothers, the wives, the nephews and
the nieces (and the J. P.) flew into one
another's arms" The generous speech
established a universal felicity and
drought down the house"-fortunate-
ly, only metaphorically speaking, since
they wanted it to live in together as be-
fore.

COMBINE TO RAISE RATES.
Writers of Insurance Risks Will
Work Together.

NEW YORK, May ga gigantic local
fire insurance combination is just now
in process of formation in this city.
The projectors of the scheme expected
within week or ten days to practically
complete the preliminary obtaining of
signatures and meeting will then be
called for organization. There are in
the metropolis in the neighborhood of
40 fire insurance companies carrying
OIL business. Several times during the
past fifteen years combinations have
been formed, among these to raise the
insurance rates and to lower the
brokers' commissions. But each time
there has been a collapse, owing
to the secret practices of certain
of the smaller companies, in pri-
vately cutting rates. The last cOmbina-
ton fell through in April, 1887. Ever
since that break there has been quiet
talk among the insurance men of get
ting up another combination, but with
more stringent rules, which would make
it impossible for q coHapSe to ceeeen..n.

cutters. Last November the matter
took definite form. A committee on

Reports from these committees were
presented at the evening session. Upon
the report of the financial committee,
which urged the acceptance by the as
ISOLATION of membership tickets taken
out in other associations, whatever the
difference in the price of the tickets
might be, there arose considerable dis
cussion. The conference was largely
in favor of such a plan. In the after
noon Miss Cora Tarr made an interesting
talk on the work OF the Young Wom-
ans Christian Association, which was
received with the greatest enthusiasm.
Tomorrow the business session will
close, and the association will visit

woRsTED BY THE TRUST.
Refiner Rice Defeated by the
Standard Oil Octopus.

standard Oit octopus.
NEW YORK. May 9.-To-iiay the de-
cision of the supreme court special term
directing the Standard Oil trust TO
transfer on its books to George Rice a
certificate for six shares of the stock
which he acquired from Il. B. Mallaby
has been reversed by the supreme court
general term. Rice purchased certifi-
cate for five shares from Mallaby in
October, 1856, and in June of the fol-
lowing year the trust declared a
dividend of one share on every five
shares. Mallaby received this share
from the trust and forwarded it to Rice,
who demanded that new certificate
should be issued in his name, that he
should have all the rights and privileges,
and be permitted to inspect and copy the
trust agreement. The trust refused to
make the change or to give access to the
books on the ground that he secured the
shares to harass and annoy the trust.
1t was claimed that he offered to stop
litigation il the trust would pur-
chase his refinery at Marietta, o.. for
S550.000. He denied these allegations.
The general term holds that under the
trust agreement, the transfer of as
signed shares was at the discretion of
the trust. "Rice," the opinion says,
comes into court of equity in order to
force himself as beneficiary into the
business of his rival. The mere acquire
ment by assignment Of the interest OF
some previous beneficiary conferred no
legal right upon such assignee to be ad-
mitted as beneficiary under the trust
as a matter of course"

Destruction OF Shoes.

New York Star.
A writer, in answer to the question.
"Are more shoes worn out in wet than
in dry weather." says there are more
actually worn out, particularly at the
bottoms, when the walking is fine: but
the destruction of shoes is at least %
per cent greater during wet spells. In
the former ease the shoes have not the
protection of the rubber, and they
grind out rapidly; but then, again, in
stormy seasons hundreds of pairs. OF
shoes are caught in drenching rains
without overshoes. and they are more
injured than they would be in a month
of walking i'll dry weather. A long
walk in thoroughly soaked shoe causes
it irreparable damage. The strainlng
motions of the foot in this soft mass
wreak damage that could never be pos
sibfe in the same shoe when dry. Even
the soles of shoes worn much in the
wet, especially those of the poorer
grades, have their term of usefulness
considerably curtailed.
