FRESH HENS LEGAILY sALrED.


 Those of our readers who keep or try to keep a garden, and whose neighbors keep hens, may find crumb of com fort and hope in an incident which has lately happened In Massachusetts. It began in the town of Marlboro. where one man had q garden and another man had some hens. The garden was fine one and the hens were proud. though industrious They not only looked well, but they laid we'll. Their owner fed them with all the indelicacies usually appreciated by hens. but what they really longed for was the nice green and fiowery stuff growing bravely in the next yard. So they hopped and flew over the fence after the manner of the most high-bred hens, and they did what they could to show how they liked their summer in the garden. When the own CT of the garden saw how they had set his work and his device at naught his mind was filled with thoughts of re- venge and he concocted plan to lead those hens to death through the door of the very appetite that had led them to deal death to his flowers and vegeta- bles. He poured the brine from his fam fly pork barrel on the weeds and grass that grew near the division fence, and the eager hens never stopped to notice the difference. They ate and they died of salt because they were too fresh. Their owner thought his neighbor had no right to give his hens a chance to kill themselves, and he sued for damages. When Judge Petingill had heard the ev- idence he decided that salt is not gener- ally classed as poison; that a man has right to kill weeds on his premises with brine, and that it was not the de- fendant's fault that the hens got into his grounds and ate his salted weeds and grass
 We don't know how long this de- cision will stand in Massachusetts. Somehow or other a peculiarly sensible decision by judge doesn't seem to be good law when it gets up where the judges know nothing but law. We hope that it will stand, and that the same question may be raised in other States l and similarly settled. But law or nc law, if hens will go into the next yard and eat salt their owner ought not to complain fiji it hurts them. He ought rather to curse the hens for their silli. ness or curse himself for his stiffness in trying to keep hens which are fresher than the eggs they lay. s

Not So Dangerous As It Looked.

 The passengers aboard the river steamer St. Lawrence last Sunday af- tcrnoen were witnesses of what at first appeared to be a serious accident, threatening the lives of five or six young men. :; .-~'-s
 AS the big steamer approached the dock at Clayton a two-masted canoe put out. The lateen sails spread quite a considerable surface to the breeze, which was not a.Llight one, and as the frail looking craft got out where the full force of the wind caught the canvas it careened until the lee rail was awash, though all those aboard were perched upon the weather rail. The sheets ap- peared to be fast, instead of being held by the skipper, as is usually: the case. Suddenly -a puff of wind struck the sails, and easily and gracefully the canoe laid itself on its beam ends The crew climbed upon the upper rail and over the side of the canoe. Finding a foothold on the keel and center board they all hung out as far as possible, and the Franoe slowly righted. As it did'so the young men clambered aboard again, and shaping the craft to its former course. continued their voyage in the most matter-of-fact way. The upset

created not the least excitement among the other boatmen in the vicinity. and they only laughed at the yociferous de- mands of some of the St. Lawrence's passengers that they go to the aid of the crew of the eapsized canoe. IL was but q few moments before the canoe again laid its masts and sails flat on the sur face of the water and again the occu- pants of the craft crawled out on the uppermost rail and again lighted the boat.
 Then it became evident that the cap- size was not entirely-no. not even part ly-an accident. But 1t was quite as thrilling an episode to those who wit messed 1t and did not understand the maneuvers as though 1t had been gen. uine accident

The gored skirt is to become still more pronounced in effect, hanging about the feet in great organ pipe folds and fitting without a wrinkle almost to the knees. At the same time the all around. full-on-th -the-belt skirt is going to make struggle. the more extreme models setting out in close folds direct ly from the belt.

The reaction has come in the case of Ben Tillett, the hero of the great dock xtriks In England. who has lost the confidence of his followers. As the General Secretary of the Dockers' asso- citation, he made a speech at meeting lately, and at the close was hooted and jeered at. He was reproached for re- ceiving a salary of f300 a year and rid ing bicycle while the dockers were starving. The starving dockers had to keep him. and he was not their friend. He was "dirty tyke" and was called upon to resign. we keep you and starve ourselves" shouted the men in reply to Tillett's attempt to be heard. He finally had to give up and retire with his speech unfinished.

Here you are. A prominent New York doctor. who has performed score of operations for appendicitis scouts the notion that 1t is dangerous to swallow grape seeds. He says that he has never found seed in the appendix in any one of the cases. A particle of digested food may enter the sac and remain there for years without causing harm, or it may induce inflammation im- mediately. All depends on the condition of the system. "I am very glad" says this physician, ito explode that story about the grape seeds and other seeds especially as the grape season is just coming on. People who have given up the luxury of small fruit in fear of ap- pendicitis, and some of the extremely sensitive ones have even been constant ly worried lest some seed that they had swallowed in the past might give them this disease-which is among the rarest diseases anyway"

EAlthough there were further declines in Spec
ial stocks to-day. the entire list was closed on @
sharp rally due partly TO a covering of shorts
over the New Years holiday, and partly assist
ed. perhaps, by manipulation intended to influ-
ence the opening of the London market next
week. The news of the day was not stimulating
and there continued to be lack of good sup
port. The history of the year closing so gloom
lily is too familiar to need reference, but we are
unable to see that the new year soon to open pre-
SentS prospects of an early change in adverse
conditions. The reasSembling of Congress will
bring to the front the questions of legislation
concerning the final results of Which uncertain
ty mustexiSt for some time. The discussion of
the tariff bill, the subject of state bank is
sues, the proposed income tax, and the means
to relieve the condition of the treasury can
hardly fail to exercise an unsettling effect upon
business and sentiment. The consequences Of
the changes contemplated in the revenue sys-
tenn OF the country are not easy to predict.
Pending definite action by Congress there is lit
tie prospect that trade and industry will show
any important revival. and the enormous de-
crease in the purchasing power of the people,
as we'll as the curtailment of incomes resulting
from the extensive defaults OF 1913, is bound,
it seems to US, to reduce the railway earnings,
, and this may alter the status Of many proper
ties that have small margin of profit over pre-
sent rates of dividends OF fixed charges. One of
the most unfortunate features of the situation
is the destruction of confidence, which has fol-
lowed, both here and abroad, the important
railroad and industrial coilapses of the year.
The construction of credit alone is liable to
compel further liquidation in both mercantile
and financial circles. Fortunately the narrow
ness OF speculation and the extent of the short
interest are sustaining factors to values at
times. We can see little promise of buying
power outside of the covering of shorts, and in
view of the general outlook it seems to us wise
to utilize any possible rally on the bears next
week tor realizations.
