cheesy taste, which mag be puterfaction;

Work for Hens.

The hens need to work. Thousands of
poultry raisers get no eggs in winter be-
cause the hens do not have to work for
living. They get too fat and cannot lay.
Keep deep layer of chatf or cut straw in
the hen-house and scatter wheat or corn
amongit and let the hens scratch for it
and get exsrcise and they will lay eggs.

A singular question recently arose be-
tween the coroners for Shropshire and
South Stafordshire. A farmer named
James. of Ruckley Wood, near Shiffnal,
was killed by passing train on the
Great Western line near that place on
Saturday night. The body was found
near the scene of the accident. but the
head was carried by the engine to VOL
northampton. The question was, which
of the two coroners in whose respective
districts the divided remains lie should
hold the inquest:-London Tit-Bits.
Sirius.
Sirius shining with far greater luster
than any other star, it was natural that
astronomers should have regarded this
as being the nearest of all the fixed"
stars, but recent investigation on the dis
tances of the stars has shown that the
nearest to US is Alpha Centauri. a star be-
longing to the southern latitude. though
it is probable that Sirius is about fourth
on the list in the order of distance.-Ex.

$50 they were. But what an amount of
suffering might have been saved if the
government had bought the slaves and set
them free. Let England take the warn
ing. Here is a case of something like the
English landlords in Ireland. If England
would pursue wiser course, she would
buy the lands and sell them to the tenant
farmers; thereby no one will lose. But if
Ireland wins in this struggle, they viii
confiscate the Irish estates and the land
lords will have to submit. / think there
would be some resentment harbOred for
generations to come" said Mr. Lollard
with warmth.
"But the slave holders were in the

| men as property to be bought and sold,
| whipped or petted, according to the mas

"And so the landlords are holding thous-
ands on the rack of eviction" he argued.
| THAT is no reason why we should lose
our property without pay for it," an

'That is just the case with the southern
| people," said Lollard. Thousands and
