am going to tell YOU about specklsd
Hamburg rooster that we once had.
He had no brothers or sisters, So we
brought him into the house and fed
and petted him When he grew older
he became very handsome, and was
the most amusing bird | over saw.
We would dress him up in dolls
clothes, and wheel him about in
dolls carriage He would walk about
the house, and was very fond Of pick
ing flies off the windows that reached
down to the floor One day | was
CRYING on the stairs, and he hoped up
beside me and begun chuckling away.
as though trying % comfort me, and
asking what ] was crying for. Another
time some ladies came to see Mama,
and as she was not in the room,
"Cockolorum Jinks' for that was his
name came strutting into the room
and sat down on chair with his feet
stretched ont in front of him lthe
way he always sat on chair When
Mama came into the room, he jumped
off the chair, gave a loud crow, and
strutted ont Of the room as though
he had done his duty, At another
time a gentleman came to visit us.
When he rang the door-bell, Coekolo-
rum Jinks heard him, and came around
the corner Of the house. and evidently
did not like his appearance, and also
knew that he was stranger He
thought the gentleman should not be
there, SO he began flying at his feet
and biting them, the gentleman strik-
ing at him with his umbrella, until
Mama heard the noise and came to
thedoor, and Cockolorum Jinks, think
ing there was no more need of fight
ing, walked OFF. He would always
attack strangers in this way
He lived very solitary life, for none
Of the other chickens would associa te
with him; and when he did 60 near
them, they would fight him. / sup
pose they thought he was too civilized.

4 Yale Rec iaiIon Sior,.

Yale's old South College and Athe-
naeum are now being demolished. and
apropos a reminiscent student tells the
following tale II was when President
Porter was holding recitations in the
Athenaeum. Ga one OF the class divis-

pages of advance and review which
made up the normal days lesson in
DIR. Porter's bulky volume on 'Human
Intellect. Taking advantage of DIR.
Porter's easy-going recitations, the
young fellow hit on the following de-
vice: He divided the 40 pages into
eight sections of five pages each. For
each section he prepared an answer.
usually based on a suggestive line or
two, sometimes evolved purely from
inner consciousness At recitations
he simply watched DR.. Porter turn the
pages, basing his answer absolutely on
the number oi pages turned. From
pages 10 10 meant answer No. >,
from pages 25 to 80 answer No 6, and
so on, not the slightest attention other
wise being paid to the question.
The young pioneer in psychology, who
ratified off the answer with all the Aex-
ibility of speech nud carnestness he
could command, always met a gracious
smile from DIR. Porter, and found sub
sequently by his audacity he had Sc
cured stand in psychology among
the first half dozen in the class. Years
after he met Dr. Porter and explained
the trick and the res,ilt The presi-

John Loudon Macadam was a County
Down surveyor. He wrote several
treatises on rondmaking of a revolr-
tionary character. His proposal was
to make roads by laying down layers
of broken stone, which he said would
become hardened into a solid mass by
the traffic passing over them.
For a while he was the subject of
much ridicule, but he persevered, and
proved his theory in practical fash
ION The Importance Of the invention
was acknowledged BY a grant from the
Government 81 $56,dJ6, Which he &c.
cepted, and by the offer of baronetcy,
which he declined. He lived to see
the worlds highways improved by
his discovery, and the English Ian
guage enriched by his name.
The old, unscientifc roadmakcrs
were too conservative to engage in the
construction of macadamized roads,
but the Brontes were shrewd enough
to see the value of the new method,
and they rendered to county contracts,
and their tenders were accepted. Then
the way to fortune lay open before
them. They opened quarries on their
own land, where they found an mex
haustible supply Of stone, easily broken
to the required size. With suitable
stone ready to their hands they had a
great advantage over all rivals, and for
generation the macadamizing of the
roads in the nei.hborhood was practi-
cally monopoly in the Bronte family.

What can be accomplished by the
division of labor is told in a very in
teresting way in the description
of the making of dolls in the
German factories The dollmaker
does one little thing from years end to
years end, and thus it comes about
that it takes eighty people to make a
doll. Little boys when they enter the
sonneberg factories, spend long
ti,es !, i p2luiiqg ri nails ~ dols enGsEs-
for which they are paid about twenty
five cents week. Some giIls do
nothing but fill bodies with chopped
hay or straw Men pass their lives in
painting Dolly's lashes and brows,
and others in putting rouge on her
checks So it is with other parts of
doll each is done by one person.
The dolls wigs are made by girls at
Munich, and their eyes come from a
little town only few miles from Son
neberg and are made by men in their
own homes Hundreds of thousands
of people are dependent for their daily
bread upon the manufacture of these
little playthings. ri Detroit Free Press

It's an odd thing, but there are
number of people who have distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to a single burst of its hill
arity without shuddering. The screech
owl is supposed by the negroes ON
southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the GHOSTS"
and giants Of the forests. He plays
great part in the more wierd folk
lore story Of the darkies. A funny
superstition in regard to the screech
owl is that ii YOU will take your shoe
or slipper OFF your left foot the first
time you hear an owl laugh and turn
the shoe sole upward on the floor and
place your stocking foot on the
bottom of the shoes sole the owl will
stop laughing and fly for ten miles

"A ToxS1eIo Made OF Shells.
A Lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about bushel,
more or less, Of small, almost fat, thin,
yellow shells, which abound at 30 many
points on tho coast. With these abe this
year fashioned q portiere that is novel
and pretty beyond description. Each
shell is pierced with hot wire and then
strung on delicate wire 80 that the
narrow END Of one Is next to the wide
end Of the other. A number Of strings
were made in this way long enough to
reach from the floor to the curtain pole,
where they were securely fastened to q
strip Of plantation cloth of the same
shade a. the shells. Through the fret
work above this curtain Is draped q
length Of sea green india silk. falling half
way to the floor on the right side.
A less ambitious woman has made a
curious scarf by sewing these shells in
artistic confusion on either end Of q
length Of nile green silk, putting here
and there bits of golden green seaweed.
A fringe Is made for each end BY string
ing shells ON green embroidery silk IN
stead Of wire.-New York Letter.

Some birds will forsake their nests il
30 much as finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, seek to hide them more
eficaciously by admirably ingenious
plans. Among the thick fern growth Of
q bank q wood warbler had woven q
nest. The bird had evidently selected
this bank because of the quantity Of
dead leaves scattered and heaped there
On, the tawny crispness Of these CORE
spending nicely with the domed edi6ce,
thereby rendering discovery almost i'm
possible. But the fine quality of the
ferns led to its detection. Tugging at
the frail fronds, q kindly disposed Lady
scared the sitting warbler, which flew
with plaintive call to an adjacent bough,
and there exhibited signs Of distress.
The lover Of nature could not resist q
peep at the cozy home, which at 9
glance appeared like shapeless mass of
dead leaves and grasses. Some few
days after, walking through the same
wood, she was again attempted to pay
the little wood bird q visit. Puzzled
and surprised, she could not find its
whereabouts, but few minutes search
revealed an alteration from the original
mode. The cunning bird had blocked
up tho old entrance and covered that
side Of the nest with dead leaves, break
ing doorway through on the opposite
side.-London Tit-Bits.
