I kept them over for setting purposes, for my bullets were late ones. l have not forced my hens to lay either, and many days they have been without shells or bones. If, instead of old hens, the 10 had been bullets and plenty of shells, bones and other good egg material, l might have reached the average of MT ScOtt's flock. But any can't say but that both flocks have not done well. feel proud to hear I came so near equaling MT Scott in the care of hens, he having the reputation of being one, if not the best farmer, in Litchfield county.-[J.

This conversation might have been heard one day last week, when the train was leaving Southport. What pretty place this is And that is the Congrega- tional church, one of the finest in the state. But if that be true of the building, it is not true of the town clock. As long as that church has been built I have travelled on this road, and seldom if ever knew that time piece to be correct.

Goods Witness Trees.~

II seems rather odd that the testi-
mony OF five inanimate, speechless
trees should be taken as indisputa-
BILE evidence of the existence of a
God or the Immortality of the soul,
buS such is the case, at least with a
large portion of the people of Hert-
fordshire. England. At levin, five
miles from the residence of the mar
quis of Salisbury, five large trees
grow from a grave in the cemetery.
The legend concerning them is this:
The grave is that of Lady Anne
Grimeston, wife of Sir Samuel
Grimeston of Gorhambury, who died
Nov ember %, l713 On her death
bed she denied the existence of God,
and hoped, II she found things other
wise, five trees would grow out Of
her grave. The trees soon appeared
and grew with surprising rapidity,
and now mutely tell the remainder
of the story.

Tho Commander of a Big Cruiser.

The commander OF the big cruiser
New York is an extremely exclusive
man when his ship is in action.
High above her spar deck is q con-
ming tower made of metal so thick
that 1t seems. to the layman who
looks at 1t that no missile could pene-
trate It. Whore the roof OF the
tower comes down there is narrow
slit around the tower through which
the commander peers. The slanting
roof hangs over this slit far enough
to prevent even q mimic ball from en-
tering the crack. Should the big
cruiser go into action the commander
would ascend into the tower and
from there steer and fight his ship.
The quarters are so cramped that q
tall man can barely stand erect.
There is room only tor the COM
inander and one other to assist him.
1t is little bit of metal box on q
floating fortress of iron and steel,
but in there could DO done tho most
destructive and deadly work.
