A HEN THAT RAISED A KITTEN.

H. c. Henderson, farmer living near
Opelika, Ala, owns a hen concerning
which he tells the following interesting
fact:
About a year and a half ago the hen
went to sitting, stealing her nest in a
corner of the carriage house. Not wish
ing to encourage migratory propensity
among the poultry, Henderson told one
of his children, a bright little boy named
Tom, to break the hen up and coax her
back to the fowl house. Tom made re-
peated efforts to carry out his fathers
instructions, but it is easier said than
done to break up sitting hen. Day
after day the hen went back to her nest
in the carriage house till Tom was in
despair, and hit upon the following
novel plan to GUST her from her chosen
abode. There CHANGED to be litter of
kittens on the place that needed dispos
ing of, and Tom thought to combine
business with pleasure by putting one of
the mewing young things in the old
hens nest. This would seem a very eff
fectual way, not only of breaking up the
hens housekeeping, but of getting rid
of the kitten as well, as she would no
doubt turn upon the disturber of her
peace and destroy it. This was Toms
idea, at least but the plan did not work.
Instead, the old hen, in lieu of some
thing better, lowered over the kitten
until it passed beyond the stage of ado
lescence, thereafter caring for it as
dutifully as if it had been the most low
ing of chicks. In turn the kitten seemed
well pleased with its new quarters and
it's strange foster mother, and would
follow at her heels, answering her clucks
with a dutiful NEW, picking UP crumbs
and stray bits of meat that found their
way into the chicken food. The strange
affection thus engendered between the
hen and the kitten continues undated,
though the latter is now full-grown
cat, and Henderson says it is worth his
weight in gold in keeping rats out of the
fowl house. OF course the rodents are
not prepared to find cat perched upon
the pole among the fowl, and when he
pounces down from their midst he bags
his game every neutrality-suspicious.

DERVISHES SUITS OF MAIL.

The old story that the dervishes pos
sessed swords and coats of mail dating
back to the crusades is confirmed by
the capture of some of these interesting
relics after the recent engagement on
the Nile. The history of the armor and
weapons used originally in Palestine
and found again after 700 years in the
Soudan, would make breathless chap
ter of romance. History plays the ro-
mantle drama on a scale that the most
daring dramatic playwright might envy,
for who, even on the stage, would have
ventured to make the officer of a Brit
ish expedition in the Soudan encounter
Arab warriors clad in the mail of Rich
ard Occur de Lions knights?

An Interesting Document tor Wage
Farmers.


If the wage earners have any doubt as
to the indifference of the leaders of the
silver movement to their interests, they
should read Senate Document 81 of the
first session of the Fifty fourth Congress.
This document consists of some letters
written by Mr.. John P. Young to the
San Francisco Chronicle and published in
that paper on December IA, 1895, and
February ?, 1896. They We're presented
to the Senate by Mr.. Teller, the chief of
the free coinage party, and were printed
in obedience to the order of that free
silver body. Wage earners will find in
them remarkable argument addressed to
the employers of labor for the purpose of
warning them of the competition with the
manufactures of this country threatened
by the manufactures of Japan, and sug-
costing way to meet it. In brief, Mr.
Teller cOmmendS and endorses the argu-
ment that as Japan has really decreased
wages by becoming a silver country, the
rivalry of her manufacturers is to be fear
ed, and cannot be met unless our own
manufacturers also reduce wages by adopt
ing the silver standard
But we shall permit this extraordinary
document to speak for itself. After more
than twenty years of Intellectual effort to
maintain bimetallism, Japan went to a
silver basis in 1878. and at the present
time two silver yens "a yen being the
equivalent of our dollar) are equal in value
to one gold yen. In the mean time wages
have not advanced, so that their purchas-
ing power has been reduced by about one
half. Senator Teller's paper quotes the
following telling statement from Sir
Edwin Arnold, who is speaking of the in
dustral skill and capacity of the japanese
''And when one realizes that this ability
and capacity can be obtained there for an
average OF cents day, against 81 80 day
AMI upward in America. and shillings and
upward in England, it IS not hard to see that
there is reason in what | say
There are some further rates of wages
exhibited in the Teller paper. From it we
learn that carpenters, plasterers, and
some others receive rs cents a day; tailors
and dyers receive "a cents; male servants
10 cents; laborers, 10 cents; and women
weavers, 3 II cents.
The paper contains other statements,
some of them taken from the reports of
our own consular officers, while others
are from the letters Of English and Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents. They are
all intended to show that Japan threatens
our manufactures because by reason of
the adoption or acceptance of the silver
basis the labor cost of their products has
been reduced one-h half The argument
is therefore that if this country will fol-
low the example of Japan and become a
silver country, our manufacturers will be
able to compete with their Oriental rivals.
Otherwise there is danger that the cheap
product of Japan will injure our capital
lists. The paper was evidently not intend
ed for the reading of wage earners.

The State c. E. Convention.

Every indication concerning the State
Christian Endeavor convention at Show
hogan, Sept. 1-3, shows that it is to be by all
odds the most attractive ever arranged. The
provisional programme is not yet ready for
the press, but the executive committee,
which is engaged in arranging the conven-
ton attractions, promises a splendid list of
speakers.
The following prominent Endeavor ora
tors have already accepted invitations to adj
treasurer of the United Society of c. E.
Rev j. T. Beckley D. D., of Philadelphia
Rev. Wayland Hoyt, D. D.. Rev Geo. D.
Lindsay of Portland; Rev. j NJ. Frost, Ban
gor; Charlotte 7. Slbley, Belfast. In ad-
dition, it is very probable that the following
will address the convention, although thew
have not yet sent final acceptance. Pres.
Butler Of Colby University; Rev. Leroy S.
Bean of Portland; Hon. L. L. Walton of
Skowhegan; Rev. E. r. Prudy of Portland;
Rev. Y: 5; Parker OF Ashland; Rev. DR..
Dunn of Waterville, and Mrs. Geo W Cole
man, the famous junior worker of Boston.
With this grand list of speakers the conven-
ton should easily lead all previous efforts
in this particular.
In addition there will be committee rail-
lies and sessions devoted to the discussion
of the details of the Christian Endeavor
work.
Delegates should plan to reach Skowhegan
Monday, Aug. 81, in season for the reception
that evening. Skowhegan people are going
to entertain every body in the best possible
manner.
SO far as possible delegates are requested
to plan to occupy rooms with acquaintance
ami notify the committee of their plans. The
committee should also be notified if dele
gates intend visiting friends at Skowhegan
naming the place where they will visit dur
ing the convention.
The grand closing meeting of the conyen-
ton will be on Thursday evening, the con
secration meeting being conducted by VIM
Shaw of Boston. There will be an excursion
to Good Will Farm Sept. Sd, in the forenoon
and in the afternoon there will be Junior
exercises by representatives of societies
from Skowhegan and Good Will Farm. Del
egates should not plan to leave Skowhegan
before the 10 train Friday morning.
The State officers, the Skowhegan Endea-
vorers and friends, are putting forth every
effort to make it d great convention. Let
Maine Endeavorers do their share in pre-
pairing to attend in large numbers. The
Maine Cehtral railroad has already promised
half rates from all points and it is expected
| that other railroads and steamboat lines will
grant the same concessions.
