not hen. It's cock, and yet not

like hen and acts like one.
Like hen, it would lay eggs if it
could, and many time Farmer Good
enough has seen this fowl lay for
hours and then imagine that it had
laid an egg, just jump off the nest and
cackle. Many times in its excitement
it would get its cackle and crow mixed
up in such complicated manner that
it was some time before it could re-
cover its breath and straighten out
Then again, every morning for the
last six months it has invariably
jumped upon Mr. Goodenough's win

A bigger eater than was Franz
Friedrich, who died in St Catharine's
hospital in Williamsburg the other
night, it was probably hard to find
anywhere. On account of his enor-
nous appetite Friedrich's friends
nicknamed Linn professor. He was
about 50 years old. About twenty
years ago he came into prominence by
offering to wager anybody that he
could eat five pounds of food at one
sitting. His wager was taken up and
he won. Then he blossomed out as
the champion eater of Williamsburg.

n few years ago, when he ate big
boiled goose, Eve pounds of frankfurt
tiers, one pound of Swiss cheese, n loaf
of rye bread and drank about two gal
Ions OF beer at ball At Easter

said, ate fifty eggs in one hour on

and made considerable money. When
he was taken i'll few months ago he

To pass 1air through walnut
without boring a hole seems an inn
possibility, but the feat has often
been done. The hull of the walnut,
when examined with a strong glass,
is seen TO have innumerabc small
openings, some of which lead entirely
through the nut. The trick consists
in using very fine hair and an infinite
amount of patience. Pass the hair
into one of these minute crevices and
