that black hens lay better than those
of any other color. One day found q
hen in my flock with a few white
feathers in her tail. / called the hired
man and told him to catch and kill
her. You can't rely on the laying ca
liabilities OF hen with white feathers, {"
/ said.
1.-The hen gave me sorrowful look,
but did not say word. Next morn
ing the hired man told me that he
could not find her. A month or two
later opened pile of potatoes had
stored in the cellar, and found a big,
hollow space in the centre of them.
There was bunch of black feathers
in the place with three white ones
standing up in a defiant sort of way.
Behind the feathers were sixty-six
eggs. | recognized at once that it was
the work of the missing hen. The
sensitive creature had slowed herself
away and worn herself out laying eggs

The Discovery of Quinine

remedies that he would take on board
ship for a voyage around the world, IL
his life were to depend upon the num-
Der who would return alive.
The first entry was opium" unani-
mously Endorsed. At the second entry
the vote was tie between mercury
and "quinine," and now that the bi.
chloride Of mercury has been found to
be the most efficient of microbe-killers,
probably that would have second place
unanimously and the third would be
unhesitatingly given to the various ex-
tracts OF the bark of the several vari-
cites or the chichOna, of which the
most familiar Is quinine, a name de-
rived from that used by the Peruvian
Indians who called the trees kina.
The old-fashioned method of admin
istering was by macerating the "ouills,
OF bark In wine, and the great tonic in
the early part of the century was
dark and wine," and as In these latter
days 1t has been demonstrated to be di-

advance Of chemical skill the secret of
extracting its alkaloids was found. and
OF these no less than thirteen are
known and used, and some of them
produce a valuable medicine at q less
cost than quinine itself.

1t is at this time Of the year when
the weak, nervous woman is most pros
tratcd and least able to perform the
daily routine Of duties which fall to
her share. She has no ambition. and
her work drags upon her at every step.
1t seems never to be completed, and
she never feels able to go on with it.
AS rule, she keeps bravely at 1t, often
accomplishing and patient, until she
breaks completely down and can go no
further. 1t Is to these tired, -listless,
unhappy women that DR.. Hartman
offers advice and encouragement free.
II all such women will write to DR..
Hartman, giving full account Of their
troubles, he will answer promptly free
Of charge and tell them what to take
and what to do to make new women
Of themselves. His advice costs moth

sive. Every woman who follows his
advice is greatly benefited, and the
great majority are completely restored
to their youthful health and strength.
Every woman may have a copy of

aged many such organizations. Zone
OF the most amusing comedies of this
sort that l ever witnessed occurred In
st. petersburg few years ago. Miss
Clara Louise Kellogg was the central
ngure In 1t. There was big reception
at the palace, and Miss kellogg and
the other singers had been invited to
be present. Court etiquette In st. Pc
tersDurg is complicated and severe.
Only members Of the imperial family
and their guests on such occasions NAV
use the front entrance to the palace.
All the other guests are expected to
enter by rear entrance. Miss Kel.
logg didn't know this, and by some
mistake her coachman drove up to the
entrance reserved for royalty. Miss
Kellogg's gown duly impressed the
court attendants, and they admitted
her without question. She was re-
ceived with favor, and her mistake
was overlooked without comment. The
other singers entered the palace from
the rear, as did all the other guests
who were not royal. When the other
musicians learned of the way in which
Miss Kellogg had gone into the palace
there was q big row. They wouldn't
believe that 1t was a mistake. 1t look
ed like favoritism, and the jealousy
kindled by it lasted for a month.

Of IDEAS and q knowledge of human

persons with regulations to sustain, al.
though embarrassed for ready money.
Two months rent was due, and the
agent was not able to collect.
The old lady said it was simple
enough. She could collect it herself.
Now, she wasn't stylish or an artistic
old lady; but she was sturdy and i'm
perturable, and her proportions were
ample and her spirit unfaltering. She
rang the door bell at an early hour, the
other morning. and inquired for the
head OF the family. The servant glow.

seen yet for two hours because the
family had not yet risen. The early
caller was cheerful and said she'd sit
on the doorsteps and wait.
FINALLY she was granted an audience
with the tenant, who put her off with
smooth promises. I'll just sit here
and wait until you can pay it," replied
the righteous collector, and she settled
herself once more on the doorstep,
took her knitting from her basket and
prepared to spend the day. She made
quaint-looking picture and all the
neighbors wondered. When anyone
came within conversing distance and
stared rudely Mt her, she explained, in
friendly way that she was waiting
until the tenants paid their rent. She
looked truthful, and no one doubted

About Dish Washing.

There are a few points about dish
washing which should always be kept
in mind. Do not drop knives into hot
water, as it INJURIES the handles and re-
moves the cement. Heavy glasses
should not be dropped in hot water.
Thin glasses are less likely to break,
and almost any glass may be saved
from breaking If a teaspoon is placed
in it before hot water is added.
