Hens and Kittens.
From the Spectator.

1t may interest your readers who care
about this sort of subject to hear of the
singular incident at our farm two years
ago of hen taking charge of three kit
tens. The mother cat must have taken
them herself an hour or two after their
birth and placed them under the hen,
which had made manger in cowshed.
| saw the cat and her progeny lying on
the straw directly after their birth, and
noticed the hen on her nest. Returning
an hour or two later, the cowman showed
NE the kittens under the hen, wondering
how they had got there, as nobody else
had been in the shed, and he had not
touched them. Till the kittens grew too
big, the hen never left them the cat used
to 60 away foraging, and come down
every now and then, throw herself down
alongside the hen and nurse her young
ones, sometimes lying with her head un-
der and her paws almost round the hens
neck. As the kittens got older it was
droll to see their foster mother follow
ing them about and trying to cover them
with her wings. For some six weeks it
was quite the sight of the neighborhood.
| suppose incidents of the sort are not
infrequent, though rare to ones per-
sonal knowledge.

A Civilian Governor.
From the Trenton Times.

This is Governor Wert's first military
experience in camp, and not knowing the
language of the shoulder strap and not
wanting to call any one of the officers
below their rank, he salutes every one in
uniform as colonel. Yesterday he sat
on the porch of the state cottage putting
cigar while the sentry passed up and
down his post opposite the house.
"See here, Colonel" finally said the
governor. ''Come up and sit down."
The sentry halted saluted and marched
up the steps and sat down.
"Have cigar" added the governor ex-
tending Perfecto, which the aston
ished guard took, lighting it with the
governors half smoked one. After
while Governor Werts went into the
house and the sentry remained smoking.
Before great while the officer of the
guard came along and stood amazed
when he saw the sentinel, who had as
sumed comfortable position in the rock
ing-chair, putting his cigar with the ut
most Indifference.
"Sir," said the officer, "what do you
mean by leaving your post? You will
be court-martialled and punished, sir.'
''I'm obeying the orders of the COM
mander-in-chief, Major responded the
guard.
When the governor was spoken to by
one of the general officers, he explained
his action by saying: "Why, the poor
fellow walked so much thought he was

A Story of Insinuation.
From Detroit Free Fress.

"Marrying," remarked the colonel,
who was bachelor, "makes a man
brave.''
81 don't know about that" doubtfully
replied the major, who had been married
three times; 81 don't know about that.
None but the brave dare marry, though,
I'm sure of that
"My original statement stands unre-
futed," said the colonel, "and for fur
ther corroboration let me cite the case of
Smith,
There was a little laugh, none the less
significant on account Of its size, for all
the party knew what woman Smith
had for wife.
"Now, / remember" continued the
colonel, "when Smith married. The
bride was fair, and Smith was in love,
and he brought her out to post in the
west, where a monthly Indian fight was
the rule rather than the exception. The
first year we could hardly drag Smith
out on an expedition and if there was
chance for fight, I'll swear that Smith
acted almost cOwardly. The next year
he braced up a bit, the following year
bit more and after he had been married
five years he was perfectly willing to
fight whole army of redskins and stay
on their trail for six months if necessary
and never say word about returning
home"
The colonel looked up quietly as he
heard another little laugh.
"Smith has been married 20 years
now" he went on, and am glad that
Indian fighting is over, for 1 really be-
lieve Smith would be only too anxious
to go right out now and exterminate
every aborigine between the Mississippi
and the Pacific"
This time the colonel smiled himself
and bowed profoundly as Mrs. Smith
passed by.
