AN EGGrLAYING ROOSTER.


E. E. Eshleman, miller of West
Lampeter township, Pa, is said to have
a veritable egg-laying rooster. In breed
it is a cross between white Leghorn
and white Plymouth Rock. 1t has
big spurs, yellow legs, long tail feath-
ers, and large red comb and wattles, and
in every respect has the appearance of a
prime we'll ll-conditioned rooster. In the
farmyard it crows Justify at frequent
intervals, scratches the ground for the
particular cluster of hens that follow
him, chuckles like other roosters when
he wishes to call its harem together over
w-fodnd seed or worm, fights off
other roosters which essay to come too
near, and in general conducts himself
while in the yard precisely as other male
chickens do. Since March 8, however,
it has shown its versatility in another
direction by actually laying thirty-nine
perfect eggs. From March s to 13 it
laid two eggs each day.
Learning of this remarkable fowl, DR..
]. S. Musser, a neighbor of Miller Eshle
man, related its exploits to the members
of the Lancaster County Medical Soci-
ETY. at their recent meeting, and two
weeks ago to test the accuracy of his
statement, the fowl was penned up
alone and closely watched. During its
confinement it has laid, by careful count,
exactly twenty seven eggs, nine of them
in three days and the Others in eleven
days. 1t does not cackle when it lays,
nor does it manifest any disposition to
hatch or to show any particular prefer
ence for laying on a nest, apparently be-
ing suited equally well with the bare
ground or floor of its box.
London Electrical Engineer.
An interesting and amusing instance
of the efficacy of the London-Paris tele-
phone occurred the other day which is
worth recording. The Salvation Army
Band was marching from the Royal
Exchange playing the "MarseillaiSe"
when an idea struck the men present in
the telephone room.
The windows and doors were thrown
open and the attendant at the Paris end
was asked if he could hear anything
The response Tin French) was immedi-
ate. "Yes, can hear band playing
the "Marsellaise..' That band of mu-
sic playing in the streets of London
could he plainly distinguished in Paris
is, we think, a sufficiently striking mar
vel of the nineteenth century science.
HOW HE GOT RID OF AN OFFICE-sEEKER.
Alexander 81. HI. Stuart, who lately
died at Staunton, Va, Secretary of the
Interior under President Fillmore, used
to tell the following good story of how he
got rid of an office-seeker shortly after
assuming the office. Said he: 81 was
very much annoyed by a persistent ap-
plicant for the post of messenger. The
man came in regularly every day for
several weeks until he became an un-
bearable bore. Finally, one day, after
the man had gone out, asked the mes
senger then in office if he knew what
that man was after. He said No, SIR
WELL said 1, 'he wants your place, and
if ever see him here again he shall
have it. 1 never saw the man again."

w. B. ELY, ESQ
District Agent of the Mutual Ben
enefit Life Insurance Co., Findlay, O..
DEAR SIR:--In answer to your in
curry respecting my experience with
Life Insurance Companies, I have to
say that carry considerable line
upon my life in Companies that are
considered the best in the country.
I would not make invidious COM
parisons, but gives me pleasure to
say to you that have for many years
held policies aggregating Sl7,5oO in
the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. j.,
and it has proven very much more
satisfactory to me than any other
company in which 1 am insured.
am sorry that all my insurance is not
in the Mutual Benefit. l consider
that company par excellence the best
in the country; viewed from a policy
holders standpoint it has no equal.
My advice to applicants for insurance
is to carefully avoid long term distri-
button of dividends. Demand annual
accounting of dividends in order that
you may know how your company is
managed and whether you are re-
ceiving such returns of its surplus as
you have good reasons to expect.
Herein lies the great merit of the Mu-
tual Benefit. Every policy holder is
notified annually what his dividends
are and each policy holder has the
option of applying them as he may
think best for his own interests.
1t is grand company and the
chief aim OF Its management appears
to be in the direction of doing the
best that can be done for its policy
holders.
Wishing you success N your work,
am, yours respectfully,
JOHN W. HARPER.

tual Benefit in Napoleon. Apply te
