attendant and called for fresh pack OF

silver dollar, and looked sadder than
ever.
The cashier picked up the dollar and
examined it suspiciously. 1t had deep
dent on one side, and looked as though
it had been plugged. At that moment
the customer spoke at is very painful
for me to part with that dollar. 1t saved
my life once, however. and must do so
again. At the seige Of Vicksburg | car
ried it in my vest pocket, and the dent
YOU see there was made by bullet, which
otherwise would have killed me. have
kept it since as M emorial, it wellnigh
breaks my heart to let it go; but must

The cashier was plainly Interested
"In what year was the siege of Vicks-
burg?" he asked.
"Sixty.three. said the sad man prompt

"And this dollar" returned the cashier,

The sad man looked annoyed. 'Ol

have an 1877 dollar in '6S if wasn't a
counterfeit ?"

Setting a Hen.

Our esteemed contemporary, Uncle
Sans Lire Stock Journal, utters clarion
note of warning against fool hardy pre-
cipitancy in setting hen. "This is the
time of year," il says "that every one is
setting hens or getting ready" and al
though there may be some few of us here
in New York below Canal street who are
neither setting hens nor getting ready to
set them, we have no doubt that the
warning is timely.
Having placed the eggs in the nest, the
next thing to do is to secure hen for a
three-week's engagement. The best time
for setting hen is in the evening, Sc
ect your hen and proceed cautiously
Do not approach her with brass oand
and torchlighI procession, hut go unat-
tended. Take her up tenderly and put
her head under your coat. Lower her
gently to the nest never think of setting
her with a pile drive. Depart quietly
and say nothing about it. DO not go
cropping around in the darkness saying
ash sh, there's hen on. ~ After brief
interval 90 back and see if the hen is
still there. If she is not, seek another
hen of more sedentary disposition
Nothing can be gained by holding her
on the nest with a mushroom anchor.
No harm results from picking up one
of the eggs and showing it to her in a
friendly and confidential way, but it is
not advisable to break the eggs into sau-
Ger to convince her that they are fresh
The period of incubation is three weeks
three consecutive weeks. If hen
thinks she can take week out of this
period TO scratch up the garden her troll
lev is of, aud it is not worth while tc
temporize with her.
Nothing Is said by our esteemed con
temporary about setting impatient hens
on eggs that have been Matching for e
days or so in a patent incubator, but it !:
easy to see how such scheme might lead
to the utter encouragement of the Others
of the flock who were not thus favored
"You will fnd," says our philosophit
contemporary that hens, like people, are
obstinate and differing in temperament
Hence it follows that one who become!
successful in setting hens acquires at The
same time something akin to a valuable
knowledge of human nature. Thus he il
better equipped for the struggle of lil'
than if he had mastered only that othei
lesson, necessary as the knowledge may
be at time-how to break up setting
hen.-N. Y Sun.
