THE DEPREDATING HEN.

OF all the things in nature that affiict the
sons of men,
There is nothing that know Of beats the
depredating hen
If you see a wild-eyed woman firing brick
bats from the shed,
You can bet hen has busted up her little
fiower-bed.
She plumbers and she scratches, she cack-
les and she matches,
And forty thousand cowboys couldn't keep
her in pen.
She was sent on earth to fret US, to ex-
coriate the lettuce;
She's a thoro' o'going nuisance is the depre-
dating hen
/ threw brick and missed her as she
hustled out my beans,
But Julius Caesars statue was smashed to
smithereens;
| saw her digging rife pits where I'd put
my pansies in,
/ fired a good-szed rock and hit my hired
man in the shin
She busts all bounds and shackles, she
giggleS and she cackleS,
She makes me say some earnest Things 1
haven't time to pen,
/ never used bad language but now I'm
filled with anguage
Alas! I've broke the record thro' that dep
redating hen.
But now thro'ou my cabinet there floats a
pleasant smell,
And the reason for that perfume isn't hard
to tell:
For when / rose this morning, saw my cab
bage-bed a wreck,
/ caught that depredating hen and fiercely
wrung her neck;
/ hear her fizZ and crackle, no more she'll
scratch and cackle,
Or make my summer garden look like some
hyena's den.
She far too long has bossed me, she far
too much has cost me
I'll eat at luncheon time to-day q hundred
dollar hen. The Khan.

1t may be admitted that dict has more
or less influence upon character, but mild
ness, gontlcness and kindred virtues are
by no means universally found among
those races which abstain from animal
food. Vogctarians arc prone to contrast
tho gentlcncSs of our domcsticatod hcrhiv-
ora with tho fcrocity often displayed by
carniyoroUs animals. A littlo reflection,
however, shows that the food cannot be
tho main cause of the disposition in either
oaso. Many IF the herbivora arc capable Of
displaying tho utmost frroCity; savage
attacks upon inutfCnsivo persons by bulls,
horses and stays arc by no means uncom-
mon in this country; while in the cast,
"ro9uc" elephants, wild bears and other
herbivorous animals often inlict serious
injuries upon human boings who chance
to como in their way.
So likewise the ordinarily mild IIindoO
feeding on rico or wheat flour, Is liable to
become riotaus, uncomfortable and blood
thirsty whom influenced by religious fan
atheism. 1t would scom that tho mischic-
yous effects upon tho habits and disposition
ascrhcd to animal food arc due rather to
tho alcoholic liquors which are generally
consumed at the Same time, The DISPOSE
ton of an average individual, leading u
temperate life, would probably not be al

The members of the Woman's
Reading Club, Of Mineral Point,
'builded better than they knew"
when they organized the Public Ii
brary and Reading Room. The Library
is rapidly nearing 1000 volumes, and
is an institution Of which our city
may well be proud. That the work OF
establishing the Library and Reading
Room has attracted the attention of
outsiders is shown by the following
complimentary notice, which we clip
from The Wisconsin Journal or Ed
ucation for February.
"The Women's Reading Circle, OF
Mineral Point. is doing a remarkable
educational work. 1t began as a
study class taking up courses in lit
erature, art and history, reading by
topics, in which line it did its own
members as much good as similar
classes elsewhere have done. A year
ago q public spirited man offered them
the use Of two rooms, heated and
lighted, rent free for five years, fol
n public library and reading room
These public spirited women accepted
that offer, and have secured a library
Of 1000 volumes, well selected and
catalogued in the best literary style
and well stocked reading room
which Is filed every evening with
young people. No salaries are paid,
and yet, good service is secured by the
volunteer efforts Of few capable
women. This winter they have car
ried on one Of the best lecture courses
that can be obtained, and will make II
pay. They are thus educating them
selves and the people of their little
city, and bringing near the time when
the people will be brought up to the
point OF levying n tax to support the
library as regular city library"
II is to the credit of our people that
they have heartily seconded the efforts
of the Woman's Reading Club to es
tablish public library. The generous
offer Of the Mcssrs Hutchinson to fur
nish rooms free Of rent, made the I'M
dertaking n possibility. The library
has already outgrown its present quar-
tiers and 1t is only II question of a
short time when more commodious
rooms must be secured. The work Of
advancing the interests of the library
should continue to call forth the best
efforts of the people of Mineral Point.

HOTEL PRINTING.
nonAs and Blanks In Great Variety Re.
CURED by the Modern Hotel.


The stationery supplies of large mod
ern hotel include great variety Of printed
FORMS and some of the printing work
done is very elaborate. Many hotels now
adopt an emblem, which appears on their
letter heads and envelopes, on dinner
cards and SO on. One house. for instance,
has lion, one crown, one a coat of arms,
another a crest, and these may be printed
in appropriate colors. There arc wine lists
of dozen pages printed on silk. Samples
of the various forms used by ono Of the
newer hotels Of tho city nearly fill the
scrapbook in which they arc kept for
reference by the stationer that supplies
them They number about goo
The office books and stationery Of first
class hotel arc made to order to suit the
special requirements Of the house Many
out of town and smaller hotels use books
that are designed for tho purpose, but
which arc uniform in style and kept in
stock When books are ordered, tho name
of tho hotel is put in if desired.
Tho stewards department OF high
class hotel uses "a great variety Of printed
forms. There is, for instance, u kitchen
market list for fish, a ruled form, in which
are entered moro than 80 kinds of fish,
with "a column showing tho amount on
hand and column showing the amount
wanted. There are II similar kitchen meat
list, poultry and game list II vegetable
list and a fruit list. There arc various
printed storcroom lists. Tho storeroom
list for delivery to the kitchen contains
tho names of moro than 100 articles Of
daily consumption in hotel kitchen on u
ruled blank showing the amount delivered,
tho price and the totals. There arc similar
lists of goods for delivery to tho service
pantry and to the pastry room and bakery.
These various blanks make it easy to keep
track of tho state of the hotel supplies and
of their daily cost
OF course thoro are wash lists, and there
are cigar envelopes and trunk labels and
bar and vino orders and bellboys' call
lists, baggage tags, marker checks and
cigar checks and elevator rules. There arc
blanks for the barroom, the leo cream
room, tho housekeepCr's department and
the laundry, and for tho wine cellar, and
tho CATO and buffet, complaint blanks,
electricians reports, mail notices and
various other forms, and they arc all u
